LONDON, October 14.

The majority of Diplomatic correspondents repeat that Lord Birkenhead will take up a commercial career in the city forthwith. The Daily Express forecasts that Lord Peel will be his successor, and adds that the letters exchanged between Lord Birkenhead and Mr. Baldwin will be published in a few days. It is understood that Lord Birkenhead will join a company with world wide interests, and will receive an income three times the £5OOO he receives as a Cabinet Minister.

LONDON, October 14.

Europe has received absolutely no news of the Graf Zeppelin, beyond the information received from America. A message from Friedrichshafen states that Doctor Durr, one of the builders declares he does not understand the silence, and points out that, there are two wireless installations. The silence is therefore only explicable as the result of atmospheric disturbances.

OSLO, October 14
