AIRPLA LANE PASSENGER SERVICE ENGLAND TO
 CONTINENT, PLANNED
Air Transportation Line to Be Run on Strictly Business
 Basis

LONDON, March S.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press. Just as soon as aircraft regulations have been difinitely arranged by the peace conference, an airplane passenger and freight service will be inaugurated be- tween the principal cities 'of England and the continent, it Is announced. It will be an experiment only insofar as the whims of the public are con cerned, as the fifteen machines to be used all saw more trying service in night bombing work during the latter months of the war.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the promoters that the project will be popular at first ahong those who en- joy adventure and are not hampered by lack of funds, but in making the announcement of the new service, F. Handley Page said that his company wanted to put the service purely on a business basis and that charges would not be out of reach of the aver age merchant, who might want goods transported quickly or make quick trips in Europe.
 Announcement of the rlans was made simultaneously with the first public exhibition of a passenger ear rying airplane in London. The plane is one of the night bombers with the fuselage equipped to accommodate 17 passengers. It saw service over Ger man cities. but appeared much differ ent on exhibition. Huge glass win dows had been cut into the sides of the fuselage showing the saloon fitted with heavily upholstered leather chairs lined on each side of the car riage with narrow isle between. Space is provided for 10 passengers inside. The seventeenth one sits out. side in the very bow of the machine in the seat formerly occupied by a gunner.
 The machine has a lifting capacity of six and one-half tons exclusive oi it's own weight, is fitted with four mo tors two tractors and two pushers and travels at an average speed oi 100 miles an hour.

WILSON TO BE ASKED TO GAIN EUROPEAN
 MARKET FOR COAL
Delegates to Visit Paris tc Present Requests; Bigger
 Field Sought

WASHINGTON, April 1-President Wilson will be asked to use his influ, ence to bring about a greater con sumption abroad of American coal. it became known today after a visit to the White House by Frank J. Hayes, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Mir. Hayes said he ex- pected to sail soon for Paris with a view to bringing the question before the president
 Creation of a market for American coal in European countries. particu- larly in France. Italy, Russia and in Great Britain as well as in Africa was said to be one of the objects of the trip of the miners president, who will be accompanied by H. Hartin of Seat tie. Wash. a member of the mine workers executive board.
 The project. it is understood, has the approval of the department of la Dor, although it was said the mine workers officials were acting entirely cn their own initiative and did not represent the organization in an of ficial capacity.
 The opening of new fields for the sale of American coal in the opinion of officials of the miners union is neces, sary to prevent further unemployment in the industry. Many mines are said 10 be working part time, due to over production, which may become so ex- tensive as to result in further curta:.. ment of mining and increasing unem- ployment
 President Wilson is understood to have been informed of the coming of the miners Mir Hayes declined to state in detail in just what way he expects the president to be of assist aDce to the American miners.
 While abroad, the miners officials also will confer with British coal miners relative to increased produc- tiOn and will endeavor to revive the in- ternational mining conference which has been inactive since the beginning of the European war.

 ENGLAND DURING WAR

LONDON, April 1.-The cost of liv ing for workingman's family in Eng land was nearly doubled during the war, according to a statement issued by the ministry of food The ministry bases its estimates upon that of a committee headed by Lord Dumner, which reported that in 1914 the aver age weekly expenditure for food for a working-class family of six persons was the equivalent of $6.12. The min istry estimates that the cost has now advanced to $11S1 week.
 The ministry echoes the statement Of Premier Lloyd George forecasting that the workingman's cost of living would be reduced about $1 a week this summer.

Emotions of Soldiers Playing Part of Conquerors
 Differ Widely

LONDON, Marvch 4 CCorrespon- dence Assacioted Press) The emo tions and impressions of British play. ing the part of cOnquerors in Germany appear to differ widely. 'I find that 1 am getting the habit of not looking peCpIe straight in the face, writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guar dian at COblenz.. There is a kind of fear of something which is just behind their eyes. When a man looks at me across the table in one of the cafes have to look away. and the only reason 1 can thing of for this is be- cause I have won and he has lost. l am afraid of him because he is help less and cannot hurt me. Many peo- pie would think that they would not feel like this. but they would"
 Aonther point of view is given by a correspondent of the Westminster Gazette at Cologne. 'The Huns love us dearly he writes, because we save them for themselves. Also they think us wealthy because we tip wait CTS. Every time l go to the municipal baths there Is a crowd of Huns wait ing. and 1 always go in front of them Makes them furious, but if they would give the attendant half a mark l dare say it woaldn't happen unless did as I saw proper 'Bairnsfather gorbli- mey' co As a Hun was going into a vacant bathroom he pushed in front with indescribable contempt, and said:
 Who Won the War?
 "'Ere, 'oo won the bloody war;"
 'It does them good occasionally to push them off the pavement, and what fills them with surprise more than anything else is to pull them up by the esr in tram to let woman have their seat"
 An Englishman Who visited Bonn, Cologne, and other Rhine points tells the Guardian that, although fraterni- zation between the English troops and the German inhabitants is forbidden, there is a good deal of friendly inter- course between them. The Germans say they were deceived concerning the war, but that they would have won Ii the United States had not been forced into it. The visitor was inn pressed by hearing factory girls who were leaving work shout Good night, as they passed some English soldiers, and he adds: "The Hun is always as slim as the Boer and clearls' sees now that geniality is better than pois- oned gas"
 Real Devastation
 Arthur Pollen, the naval writer says:
 Tt is III the suburbs of oBnn and Cologne, in Duren and fin the villages that one sees the real devastation of these people. The fat man is gone and all adults seem peazed and thin, sbut the children are really horrible isght. Those who have been both here and in the occupied parts Of France say the state of the French children is worse.
 "Thers seems. to be plenty of chil- dren but none under three years old and never once did I see a woman with a baby in her arms. The small est children are the worst to look at paIlid. hollow-eyed and dreadfully fee bIe. The boys are far less animated than the girls"

 The Woman's League of Porto Rica, wit hover ? 800 members throughout the island, and which is working to obtain the vote for wo1Sen, is not in favor of the bill as it is considered too sH coping in its terms.

Alas! Nothing of the sort happened.
The Douglases were simply visiting
round" as they called it. Being popular,
they were invited to make several visits
with the result that they spent the entire
season in Newport with no expense to
themselves aside from the necessary tips
and such incidentals.
Never mind" said society next Win
ter they will take a town house and enter

rants"
But next Winter came and the Douglases
took no house. They did not even take a
smart apartment in the Fifth avenue sec
tor. No, they divided their Winter be-
tween the Kountze home in Morristown
and the Douglas home in New York
1t did not take society many months to
understand the true state of affairs in the
Douglas household Every time society
asked why Gordon or Annie did not take a
house, why they gave no great entertain
ments the answer was, father Kountze"
In a way, society did Mr. Kountze an in

About this time Gordon began devoting
his days to tennis and his nights to dane
ing. Mrs. Douglas being left much alone,
decided to follow suit, and she speedily
became the champion woman tennis player
of New York. AS for dancing she intro
duced a number of sensational dances into
Newport. and there were times when
rumor said she threatened to take up
dancing as a career!
During these years a canker of unrest
and tragic unhappiness was eating at Mrs.
Douglass heart. She saw her intimate
friends marrying men of wealth and spend
ing fortunes on clothes and entertain
ments. In New York, when not visiting
her in-laws or her own family, she had to
put up with suite at a Madison avenue
hotel. Who're her friends had Long Island
and Newport estates, Fifth avenue man.
siOns and strings Of motor cars, she had
to be content with small side-street house
in Newport and one electric runabout.
Mrs. Kountze looked on with dismay,
but she could not change her husbands
lifelong conviction regarding money. When
whispers of possible divorce reached the
fathers ears, more than one society ma
iron told Of a furious scene between the
father and daughter. The current report
was that KOuntZe told his daughter that
th0 udS Sic uI'oICeu bOuSldS ne would
cut off her allowance. He did not intend
to have any open scandal in his family il
he could help it.
Life was truly hard on this young ma
iron, whose instincts were all for spending
money and having a gay social existence.
For example, no society benefit no great
ball, no exclusive dinner was ever con-
sidered an assured success unless Mrs.
Douglas was present. She always acted
in the amateur theatrical entertainments.
IN tableaux and in every form of enter
tainment given for various charities
And all this meant great display of
Jewels and expensive costumes. At one
of the great war benefits she wore cos
tune almost entirely composed of Jewels.

began to be more assiduous in their friend
ships. All in all. therefore, society was
hot surprised to learn of the divorce suit
And this event assured, society began
to watch Mrs. Douglas and to wonder as
to her future plans. Contrary to report
she has not at the moment taken a larger
house. She still lives in the Flint cottage
on Berkeley avenue, a moderate-sized es-
adjustment But she and her mother,
who is spending the season with her have
been considering several houses on Belle
vue avenue. And Newport exrects Dor to
take one of them and to crafty the cial
ambitions that have obsessed her for these
ten years.
And there is every indication thai she
intends to do this but not until her divorce
is granted and everything settled in
legal way.
Newport is facing a brilliant season
There is no one matron to lead the gaiety-
loving colony. Mrs. Douglas has won
deTful opportunity to become the seasons
sensation, and society is counting on her
for leadership. But will she be cOntented
with solitary leadership? If not, who will
be her next matrimonial partner?
The Washington times., 1919-05-11

Luther Kountze retained all his hard
headed money sense, and while he was
overjoyed to have his daughter marry into
the aristocratic Douglas family he did not
intend TO let this marriage cost him lot
Of money! Whenever young Mrs. Douglas
exceeded her dress allowance and APP
pealed to father for help she was read
hOmily on extravaganza and firmly re-
fused
Like most fashionable young wives, Mrs.
Douglas was fond of beautiful clothes and
lcnged for a continuous round of enter
tanning Because of her spectacular
beauty and a fascinating way of wearing
her clothes, she won a reputation for be-
ing the best dressed woman in Newport
Now, such a reputation costs money, and
with all the will in the world, Gordon
Douglas could not supply it for his pretty
wife This state of affairs caused con-
slant friction between the young people
Naturally Douglas and his family and
friends were bitter toward father Kountze,
for they blamed him always for every
quarrel.
Mrs. Douglas also blamed her father, but
she did not enjoy having her husband and
his family abuse him and so the breach
gradually widened.
Mrs. Kountze did the best she could for
her daughter by having clothes charged
to her accounts in the smart shops, but
this could not be done too frequently, for
father Kountze paid every bill himself
For three Summers the Douglases sue
ceeded in visiting round among their New
port friends. They grew tired of this,
however, and finally, by close managing,
they were able to rent small house
round the corner from the Cliffs. Here
Mrs. Douglas could entertain from three
to six guests for lunch or dinner, but large
parties were, of course, impossible. Then
her sister-in-law, Sybil Douglas, married
into the Fitzhugh WhitehOuse family and
achieved one of the most charming houses
in Newport. This made Mrs. Douglas
more unhappy than ever, and, of course,
her young husband suffered equally.

anxiety were going on Gordon Douglas was
left over much to himself, or, perhaps he
took himself out of the way to please
himself! At all events, he began TO win
renown for other things than tennis and
p dancing, and he seldom appeared in public
with his wife.
When America went to war Douglas en-
tered the army, and eventually went over
seas with the Eighty-secOnd Division.
Society rather hoped that the trouble be-
tween the husband and wife might be
smoothed over by the war, but various
little happenings of the past Winter made
it clear that this would not be. Mrs Doug

Newport residence since before the war.
She made frequent visits to her home
there and left her sons there most of the
