Obstacles in Long Route In

tionbyNile.
ioisiio.v, Aug. 11. Despite enor
mous difficulties being met with In
establishing the long air route, It la
expected that the Cape to Carlo aerial
mail service will be In operation before
the year is out. The first flight, it la
said, probably will be made In October
or Novemb.er. ,
Partial reports of the African survey
parties now in the fluid detail some of
the obstaoles that have had to be sur
mounted. Between . Malakt and Gon
dokora, about 400 miles, the Nile so
inundates the country that no suitable
landing place tor an airplane could be
found. It la therefore proposed to use
a flying, boat for that stage of the
Journey. .

armistice with Turkey the first survey

previously ine route imm muium. 10
Cairo had been used by Major Mno
I.aren and his flight from England to
Egypt and- aerodromes had been built
M Solium, Mersa Mutruh and at Amrla
near Alexandria, while Intermediate
landing grpunde had been cleared for
emergency use. An aerodrome had
been constructed also at Khartum, in
115.
For the purpose of the survey, Afri
ca was divided into three sections. One
party was assigned to Egypt, the Su
dan and as far south as Victoria Nyan
sa. The second covered tha central
stretch from Victoria Nyanaa through
a part of what was German East Af
rica to Kituta at the southern end of
Lake Tanganyika. . A third party In-
'speeted the line from Blttita to Cape
Town.
. A ropte via Egypt and the Arabian
coaat to India is being developed from
Atbara to Trinkitat. oo the Red sea,
and thence via the Farsan and Kam
aran island (o perim and Aden. It is
said that this probably will be more
used for military than civil purposes.
