London, March 31 (Correspon
dence of The Associated Press.)
Just as soon as aircraft regulations
i have been definitely arranged by the
Peace Conference, an airplane pass
enger and freight service will be in
augurated between the principal cities
of England and the continent, it is
announced. It will be an experiment
only insofar as the whims of the puT -lie
are concerned, as the fifteen ma
chines to be used all saw more try
ing service in nht bombing work
during the latter months of the war.
There is no doubt in the minis
of the promoters that the project will
be popular at first among those who
enjoy adventure and are not ham
pered by lack of funds but, in mak
ing the announcement of new service, j
E. Handley Page said that his com
pany wanted to put the service purely
on a business basis and that charges
would not be out of reach of the
average merchant who might want
goods transported quickly or make
quick trips in Europe.
Announcement of the plans was
made simultaneously with the first
public exhibition of a passenger
carrying airplane in London. The
plane is one of the night bombers
with the fuselage equipped to ac
commodate seventeen passengers. It
saw servico over German cities but
appeared much different on exhibi
tion. Huge glass windows had been
cut into the sides of the fuselage
showing the saloon fitted with heavily
upholstered leather chairs lined on
each side of the carriage with a nar
row isle between. Space is provided
for sixteen passengers inside. The
seventeenth one sits outside in the
very "bow" of the machine in the
seat formerly occupied by a gun
ner. The machine has a lifting capacity
of six and one half tons exclusive of
its own freight, is fitted with four
motors, "two tractors and two push
ers, and travels at an average speed
of 100 miles an hour.
The company which will operata
the service already has laid its plans
for getting business and for "feeder"
service tapping its main lines of trav
el. E. J. Bray, formerly European
traffic representative of the National
Railway of Mexico, has become traf
fic manager of the Handley Base,
Ltd., and is at work on purely the
traffic end of the enterprise.
Those interested in the project
point out that as far as the machines
are concerned this is not an experi
ment and maintain that it is the most
ambitious plan yet conceived for
commercial use of the airplane. No
especial effort will be made to get
great speed but every effort will ba
made, as the service increases to con
struct larger machines which will give
passengers greater ease and free
dom and will be capable of carrying
several tons of freight.

Washington, April 1 On March
1. 1919. 39,669 disabled soldiers had
been registered with the Iederal
Fnard for Vocational Education for
training or placement, or both. Of
these the Board had established a
working contact with . 25,223 cases;
2,948 had been placed in employment
at that date.

AFTER ELEVATOR FALL
March 15, 2.771 ases had been
recommended for training by the dis

been approved 3'or training by the
central office, and there were 646
cases at the central office in process
of approval and pending action of
the ar Risk Insurance Bureau upon
their compensable status.
Of the first 1,215 approved cases i
245 were taking some phase of agri
culture; 274 were taking commercial I

branches; 372 were taking industrial i
and trade courses; j.a , had entered i owe(1 ibv Theodore Byxbee

eral Board, SO. So It will be seen
that the work has risen to large pro
portions. An interesting phase of the situa
tion is shown by the records compiled
as to the places in which the in
juries were received, and these show
that 51 per cent, of the injuries or
disabilities were received in camp;
only 10.2 per cent, received in battle.
Other sources are given at 7.7 per
cent.; and not stated 31.1 per cent.
The work is proceeding as a busi
ness proposition in which the Govern
ment of the United States desires to
do exact justice to each man in so
far as is humanly possible, and no
other idea or aim actuates the Fed--eral
Board and its agents in dealing
with each particular case.
IMPRESSIONS OF
BRITISH ABROAD
London. April 1 (Correspond
ence of The Associated Press) The
emotions and impressions of British
playing the part of conquerors in
Germany appear to differ widely. "I
find that I am getting the habit of
not looking people straight In the
face," writes a correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian at Coblenz.
"There is a kind of fear of something
which is just behind their eyes. When
There are many men disabled but j a man lok? at me a"ss tne able
who believe themselves not so badly i
injured as to preclude their carrying
on work without special training.
They have gotten out in civil life and
many of them have found after a
trial that their handicaps are too
great for them. The Federal Board
is particularly anxious to got in touch
with all such men, and desires them
to know that the training is etill open
to them and the fact that they have
gone out in civil life and have dem
onstrated the need of this specialized,
intensive education does not at all af
fect their rights to obtain it. All
such persons should address the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education
at Washington.

of for this is because I have won and
he has lost. I am afraid of him be
cause he is helpless and cannot hurt
m. Many people would think that
they would not feel like this, but they
would."
Another 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 from themselves. Also
they think us wealthy because we tip
waiters. Every time I go to the
municipal baths there is a crowd of
Huns waiting, and I always go in
front of them. Makes them furious,
but if they would give the attendant
half a mark I daresay it wouldn't
happen unless T did as I saw a proper
'Eairnsfather gerbllmey' do. As a Hun
was going into a vacant bathroom he
pushed in front with indescribable
contempt, and said: " 'Eere, '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 ear in a trains to let a woman
