Airplanes Will Link

Plans are being rushed for the OPEN

American planes, between Toxic and
Dairen and the first machine is ex-
pected to take passengers over the
route by April /. If the present plans
are carried out it will be the most
extensive passenger air service In the
Far East. Dairen is at the tip of the
Liaotung Peninsula. which extends
south between Korea and the China
coast. 1t is roughly 1000 miles from
Toxic, but in order to obviate the long
flight over the Sea of Japan the planes
will go down the main island Of Japan,
turn northward over Korea, finally
going west from Seoul, the capital, to
Dairen. There will be three stops be-
tween Toxic and Dairen, the first ut

of Osaka, and another at Seoul, about

Dairen is 325 miles. The rate for one
journey is $72.50. It is estimated that
the total time from Toxic to Dairen
will be Is hours and so minutes.

garden to supply the royal table speaks
eloquently of the thrift which the King
is obliged to practice. Princess neana
has no very large dot, so her contribu-
ton to the menage would be tncon-
siderable.
The Bulgarians have always hoped
that the King would marry a wealthy
princess who would not only contribute
literally to charities, but would assist in
other ways to bring the country up to
western European standards of prosper
ity. For this reason they were de-
lighted, year ago. when report was
spread that Boris was preparing to visit
the United States. Both publicly and
privately the King had declared that he

Turkey. However, Bulgaria struck the
first blow and, having Serbia, Greece.
Rumania and the powers against her,
she was badly beaten.
Then came the World War, and
again Ferdinand made a fatal mistake.
He swept his country into the melee
on the side of the central powers.
Whatever Prince Boris thought of his
fathers action, he fought through
three terrible years with the Bulgarian
army, and that was an experience that
must have robbed him of any boyhood
he may have retained. Germany's
treatment of her small allies will one
day be written, and the story will not
be a pleasant one. Suffice here to say
that Bulgaria was used as a source of
food and other supplies for the Ger
man and Austrian military forces. In
less than three years the country was
swept bare OF food, clothing, medical
supplies, cattle, horses and everything
else which could be used for war
material.
What the Bulgarian army ate what
the men fought with, how their hos
pitfalls were equipped, is a tale of al
most exactly nothing. Civilians starved
and died by thousands, while the fight
ing men died like flies from cholera,
smallpox, dysentery, influenza. neg
lected wounds and lack of food. Still
they fought on, and Prince Boris stayed
with them, sharing their hardships and
their rags, devoting great energy to or
ganizingS and operating field hospitals
and giving all his income to buy dress
ings and anesthetics. He was % years
old when he was summoned back to
the capital to undertake an adventure
more dangerous to him personally than
any he had encountered In war.
The Bulgarians had not willingly
entered the war on the German side
because, while they were always ready
to fight their hereditary enemies, the
Serbs, this war meant fighting theil
blood brothers, the Russians, to whom
they owed, not so years before, their
liberation from Turkey. In the mids
of their general discoptent rumor got
around in the army that King Ferdi-
nand had rented their services to tn"
Kaiser for a term of three years, anc
in the Summer of 1917 the soldiers de

should never be renewed. Before tina

Is True Cosmopolitan.
Boris himself, although he has spent
practically all his life in his native land,
looks and speaks like true cosmopoli-
tan. He is not. as is generally assumed,
of German origin, although his father,
ex-King Ferdinand, the Old Fox of the
Balkans, is a Coburg prince. Boris
maternal grandmother was Princess
Clementine, daughter of Louis PHILIPPE
of France, and his mother was an
italian princess of Bourbon Parma.
This makes him far more Latin than
German and Latin he is by sympathy,
although he likes England and has q
warm prediction for Americans.
Boris is cosmopolitan by experience
also, for in his 35 years of life he has
had adventures enough to qualify him
for hero Of Graustark or Ruritania.
Thus the girl who marries him need
never fear boredom For this young
man has lived through three wars, an
army instruction, a red uprising and
several narrow escapes from assassina-
ton. In all of these adventures he has
borne himself quite like King Of the
Oppenheim or Anthony Hope type.
Boris adventures began in the first
Balkan War in 1912. King Ferdinand
sent his l8-year-old son to the front,
and although prince herttor is never
allowed in a post of real danger, Boris
managed to see a good deal of the war,
in which Bulgaria took first honors.
The next year came the second Balkan
War, an anti-climax for Ferdinand,
who made the mistake of precipitating
1t. The real cause of the war was the
action of the great powers which
wrested the victory away from the
small countries actually engaged, and

Gear Boris III of Bulgaria, to

Il been betrothed by rumor so
many times within the last few
years that the latest report, almost ON
cial in Rumania, of his approaching
marriage with Princess neana, only re-
naming unmarried daughter Of Queen
Marie, may be taken with a certain
reservation. It is undoubtedly true that
King Boris is seeking a bride, for his
subjects are most anxious that the
dynasty shall be preserved. and as Boris
is now in his middle thirties they think
that suitable marriage should be ar
ranged without delay.
Boris has, 1t is true, a younger
brother, Prince Cyril, who was recently
in this country. But Prince Cyril is so
unpopular in Bulgaria that it is doubt
full If he would be accepted as a sue
cesSor. The hope of the country Is a
wife and family for the present King.
No Religious Barrier.
In some respects an alliance with q
Rumanian princess would be popular,
for the religious barrier, which is said
to have broken up love match between
Boris and a daughter of the King of
italy, does not exist in this case. The
state religions both Of Bulgaria and Ru-
mania are Greek Orthodox. Not that
Boris, or for that matter Ileana, are
personally very particular in regard to
creeds--for Queen Marie has always
retained her membership in the Church
of England and she, with one or two of
her children, not infrequently attends
services in the English Church at
Bucharest
AS for Boris, he and his brother and
sisters were all baptized Catholics. The
heir to the Bulgarian throne, however,
must belong to the state church, so
when Boris attained the mature age OF
three his conversion" was publicly an
nounced by the then prime minister
and the government. The infant was

But whose silvery light shines on;
There are roses whose fragrance still

Still their sweetness lives on with the
