MILLIONS IN THE AIR. THE FLYING MARK. ( (Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, September 10. According to the "Daily Exprese," twice lately the Dutch Royal mail aeroplane has "landed at Lympne carrying a solitary foreign passenger guarding large packets of new unsoiled German eurrencv notes. Each "cargo is valued at 50,000,000,000 marks. After the Customs passport examinations have been completed, the packages are transferred to a British machine previously engaged by telegram, which is rushed to Cologne at 100 miles per hour. The explanation of these mysterious aerial journeys is that enormous sums of German currency are conveyed from Rotterdam to Cologne with the alleged object of introducing the money into the occupied area without any reference to I French officials, who are not encountered |on this circuitous route.— (A. and N.Z.)
