BY SUEZ OK TEE CAPE? THE ROUTE DIFFERENCES. "WHY CAPE TRAFFIC HAS FALLEX OFF. People who desire to travel to England from Australia, have very little choice on the matter of route these days, and practically all the passengers go via Suez. That is not becauso tha Cape route has fallen into ■unpopularity with travellers, but is due to the exigencies of the international situation. Boats which have figured largely in the Cape passenger traffic during the recent past are missing from that particular psrt of the ocean at present, having been requisitioned ior various purposes incidental to Britain'# prosecution of the war. In the near future, however (3ays th> "Sydney Daily Telegraph" of th» 19th ir.st.l. the Cape route will again bo available to travellers, and tho boat 3 on that Toute will bo patronised as much as they have been in tho past— probably more. There is not a great deal of difference between the boat* which nlv between England and Australia by way of Suez Canal, and tho best of those which go via. Durban and Capo Town. Under normal circumstances, the voyEgo to Enelar.d bv v.-ay of the Cape last* a few days longer than tlv» trip bv th» other Toute, but this is a consideration rcs-lly nnly taken into s-*rioi:» account -by busy men. merchant*. and others who turn time into money. The h»aHh-«eekivig traveller cares little about eurli trifles. It was recently announced thai the Jap-

Bv » Capo route this would not he possible " , 1 Vdney shipping cvjvsrt yesterdav said that, the deciding fart or in {he v.*> of the . uez t-anal for mail-rarryiiis; purpose was the possibility of rncilitciing th* onick despatch mails between the Homeland and Australia. Ono thing which hit the shipowner using that route, };c explained, was the heavy canal dues that had to bo paid. A boat, which used the. Canal ccst move to ' to England than on<? which travelled via the longer route round the Cape. A mail boat, after leaving Svdney, calls at Melbourne, Adelaide, Freraant'lc, Colombo, Sues, Port Said, Naples, Toulon, Gibraltar, and Plymouth, and then finishes her run at London. Boats using the Cape route after leaving Sydney call at Melbourne, Adelaide. Fremantlo (some at Albany), aud then have a. 14 r,r IS days' run to Durban, then 011 to Capo Town; and a 19 or 20 days* run to Plymouth, As a rule a. call is mad© st Teneriffe or ono of the ol.her islands in the We?tem Atlantic. This makes a break in tlio long run from the Capo to Plymouth. A mail boat, take* about -13 or 44 days to go from Sydney to London, while tin? mode-ru boats using' the Ci-po route occupy about 50 or 51 days on the journey. NEW ZEALAND SHIPPING COMPANY.
