LATE MESSAGES

NEW YORK, July 16. The Institute for Advanced Learning, at Princeton University, and the Rockefeller Institute for medical research, invited the League ol Nations to transfer the non-political sections to Princeton, for the duration of the war. M. Avenol asked ioi further information. He is reported to be loath to move unless the United States officially approves. AUCKLAND, July 16.

No additional Tasman flight will be made this week. .The Awarua, which went to Sydney on Monday, was to have returned to-day, but the flight was cancelled. The special mail flight to Sydney on Friday and back on Saturday, which had been planned, is now nullified. This also cancels last night’s announcement Joy the Postmaster-General, that the Tasman mail would close at Auckland on Thursday morning. The Sydney air-mail will close at the usual time on Saturday, midnight, for dispatch on Monday morning. The Director of Civil Aviation m Australia (Mr Johnston) was to have flown to Auckland to-day, but cannot do so now, as the Awarua is not coming. It is presumed that the Aviation Conference here will be postponed.

WELLINGTON, July 16. Squadrons of mounted rifles will assist units of the Territorial Forces in the defence of New Zealand, should the need arise.« These units will represent localities from Whangarei to Otago.
