SPEEDY ROMANCE
 COMES TO AN END
Muli.Milionaire Countess Wins
 Divorce

Edinburgh, Scotland. Nov. l. UP)-The second lightning TO- nance of the blueblooded young Earl of kinnoull broke up today when his multi millionaire countess was granted a divorce on the ground Of His infidelity.
 Lord kinuoull and his wife met at a summer resort in 1923, when he was q years old. Their engagement was announced a month later. They were married soon, and went on an airplane honeymoon, both being fly ing enthuiasts.
 Their whole romance was carried on at airplane speed, and not many months had elapsed before it came to swift conclusion when the countess and her s6.00O, 900 left the Earl flat with creditors storming the doors Of his London mansion.
 When the Earl met his wife-thcn Miss Enid Hamilton-Fellowes, granddaughter Of the tobacco mag nate, Sir Frederick Wills-his resi- lient heart had just recovered from a disappointment in love.
 A year previous young South African woman-but not so young as he-had applied for marriage H. cense in which she and a George Hay" were named.
 Some unromatic official investigat- ed, and found that George Hay was George Harley Hay 18th Earl Of Kinnoull. Niscount Duplin and Lord Hay, and Baron Hay.
 His mother, the dowager countess, was no sooner informed than she kidnapped him and sent him off to South Africa in care of stern, un- romantic male relative.
 The Earl was heartbroken, 1t seemed: and the young woman in the caee-a Mrs. Trewarth Searle- was none too pleased herself She said she was going to South Africa after him. But when the dowager countess threatened to keep the Earl on the move from then on until Mrs. Bearle dropped off his trail, Mrs. Searle decided not to bother.
 Lord Kinnoull was taken to the wide open spaces of South Africa to be hardened. He had been back a week when he proposed to Miss Enid Hamilton-Fellowes. This time the dowager countess smiled her ap- proval.

THE LEGION'S MESSAGE

Sir Philip Gibbs, the famous British war CORES
pondent, who is pretty good international interpre
ter, covering the American Legion convention in
Paris for the New York Times makes this comment:
French people ask me-" he says, whether the
visit of the American Legion will have any practical
effect. don't think But think it may have spr-
itua effect think it is another lesson of the old hu
man family getting together, touching each others
hands and hearts, helping to understand each others
humanity, across frontiers and oceans.
I'm hundreds of cafes American egionnaires shout
'Vive La France!' Their laughter their songs their
spirit of the campus, make mockery of the interna
tona intrigue, the sinister jeaousies the grim appre
tensions of war which still lurk in Europe.
How much better to laugh at life, to clink glass
es, to shout Never heard of t!' when someone men
tions hate and tries to rally up youth for
new massacre in old fields of slaughter.
That's what the visit of the American Legion
means to me- and hope to God it's true
If only the military jingoes and the cynical states
men of dozen countries could meet with those war
banishing young Americans and share their spirit
The plain people anywhere would understand and
sympathize with them readily enough; but somehow
IN military matters the plain people seldom permit
ted to let natural, generous emotions have their way
across national boundaries they have at home.
If the Legion could go everywhere as it has gone
to France there would be different spirit in Europe
and different outlook for world peace.
