Gazette," the latest addition to the ranks of house journals of British aircraft firms, which has just been issued by the De Havilland Aircraft Co., of Stag Lane. It is full of interesting items and illustrations, and is excellently produced. Chan ges in French Air Organisation THE accession to power of the Poincare Ministry has resulted in a considerable shake-up of the French Air organi- sation. For reasons of economy the Under-Secretariat for Aeronautics, which was the central co-ordinating organ between the military, naval and civil air services, was sup- pressed, together wdth all the other Under-Secretariats. M. Laurent-Eynac, the Under-Secretary for Air, who held this post continuously from January, 1921, to July, 1926, and outlived ten Cabinets, resigned when the Briand Ministry fell and was not re-appointed by the short-lived Herriot Ministry. M. Laurent-Eynac's retirement from the post he had filled for so long leaves unanimous regrets in French flying circles. Owing to his untiring energy, his ready grasp of the situation, his ability to pick capable collaborators and his great personal charm, he succeeded in securing for France the position of leading air power this country now holds. The policy of long service nights either for record breaking or for propa- ganda purposes, which has produced such remarkable perfor- mances, is directly attributed to his personal influence, while his foresighted attitude in encouraging French aircraft constructors resulted in France regaining most of the world's aviation records, which she had lost to the United States in 1923. With the suppression of the Under-Secretariat for Aero- nautics, the technical service, the manufacturing control service, the air navigation service and the meteorological service, which depended from the first-named organisation, have been grouped under a Directorate-General of Aeronautics, which is attached to the Ministry of Commerce after having been temporarily attached to the Ministry of Public Works. Inspector-General Fortant, hitherto director of the technical service, has been appointed head of this directorate with the title " Civil Director of Aeronautics." Col. de Goys, who was for long years Mr. Laurent-Eynac's Chef de Cabinet, will in all likelihood be appointed director of military aero- nautics in place of Gen. Dumesnil, who has held this post since 1920. Awards of Flight Cadetships to Aircraft Apprentices,and of " Sir Charles Wakefleld " Scholarship and " Hyde-Thomson " Memorial Prize The Air Ministry announces :—" Aircraft Apprentices J. T. Stephenson, J. Mutch, W. R. Worstall, A. L. Weaitt and F. Whittle, from No. 4 Apprentices' Wing, Cranwell, and Aircraft Apprentice C. B. Hughes, from the Electrical and Wireless School, Flowerdown, have been selected for cadet- ships at the R.A.F. Cadet College, Cranwell, on the results of the examinations held on completion of their three years' training as aircraft apprentices. " ' Sir Charles Wakefield ' Scholarships, valued at /75 each, have been awarded to Flight Cadet H. R. Dale, who obtained the fourth place in the recent competitive examination for entry into the Cadet College, and to Flight Cadet J. T. Stephenson. The ' Hyde-Thomson ' Memorial prize, valued at about /33, has been awarded to Flight Cadet C. B. Hughes. In addition, the ' Sir Charles Wakefield ' Scholarship, the award of which was deferred in November, 1925, has now been granted to Flight Cadet C. E. St. J. Beamish." 557
