Londcn, April 4. There is an ex-

take the place of the old Wagon

brings its ebb and .flow of travelers
acros Europe. Nothing has brought
I home to London the definite dawn
Yfcf a new era of travel as does this
chariot body of the passenger plane
whigh is only waiting the formula
t tion of international rules of air
. traffic to take to the clouds and
whisk its first fortunafc passengers
i icross the channel and down to

'frames a picture of orange groves
an.d' red rooffed chateaux in the
J Riviera. '
;m View Wingless Giant.
The half assembled machine
wlich hundreds of invited guests
'viewed was necessarily minus its
wings which have a spread of 190
'.feet and could not be accommo
dated in even so spacious a place as
Selfridge's. It was a ; converted
jwarrior from the airplanes of
France, a "bomber" which had seen
'service on the western front and
, had dropped many a load of deadly
stuff on the Rhine towns. But its
'masters had remodeled it.
The fusilage measures feet
in length and provides for 18 pas
sengers besides the pilot. Its weight
."when fully loaded1 will be 6 tons.
Rolls-Royce engines of 030 horse
power each will drive ,the two
Jropellers of an 11 foot span at
,100 revolutions per minute and at
; a maximum speed of 100 miles an
hour.
Where the giant nose of the ma
chine tilts 23 feet above the ground
, the pilot has his seat with a,n, ex
tra chair behind him for one outside
passenger. The mairi body of the
fusifage back of the cockpit is en
closed in glass a comfortable and
tidy little cabin with a double row
of' swival arm chairs ranged along
the triplex glass windows.
Electricity Reigning Power.
' Electric fi caters and electric light
ing make the cabin of this air ex
press as comfortable as any first
, class railroad compartment. Tables
can be let down from the side walls
to accommodate themselves to
luncheons and an electric stove
guarantees the Englishmen's essen
tial tea and toast at any hour.
During the course of a luncheon
given to the guests invked to come
and. pick their seats for the first
'flight of this and similar skyskim
mers which are to be released as
soon as the British air ministry
gives its permission. Hartdley Page
announced that with the opening of
passenger service, arrangements
had been made with Cook's to book
air travelers to any destination on
the aerial routes just as in peace
times one used to stroll into the
agency's counter and purchase a
ticket to Cannes or Nice. Hand
-'baggage could be carried by the
passengers. Heavier luggage would
follow by a "plane van" if stipulated
or could be sent by train or boat in
the old earthly way.

Serious It Is Feared Peace
Conference Will End in Row
Sharp Difference Among "Big Four" Increased to Such
an Extent That American Peace Mission Attaches
Openly Discuss Possibility of Rupture Wilson Ex
pected to Announce U. S.'s Stand Soon Fullest
Publicity if Dissolution Occurs.
(By a Staff Correspond nt of Universal Service.)
(Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris, April 4. President Wilson is expected to define his and
America's stand on the peace conference some time within the mjxt
few days, possibly before the week is over.
Acceptance of that stand by the other powers will mean that the
final formation of a treaty of peace is possible; rejection, it is feared,
may result in the dissolution of the peace conference, and in that case
the American peace delegation proposes to give the fullest publicity to
everything that has been said and done so as to let the world judge for
itself what forces are responsible for the failure of the conclave.
Situation Acutely Critical.
The situation is acutely critical.
Nine days have elapsed with the
"big four" in almost continual ses
sion, making the most strenuous ef
forts to get together. Yet they have
Tailed absolutely to reach an agree
ment on any of the biggest points
under discussion.
!-Jhe time of dark and anxious
hints has passed. Attaches of the
American peace mission are now
openly discussing the possibility of
the whole conference breaking up
in disagreement.
It is admitted that sharp differ
ences among the "big four" have
been increasing rather than dimin
ishing. To fix the responsibility for the
deadlock is impossible. An impen
etrable curtain of secrecy screens
'he discussions at the Quai D'Orsay.
Highly placed Americans, however,
promise that the world shqll know
all the facts when the proper time
comes. x
So far as is possible to ascertain
only on one day last Tuesday was
any sort of progress made. Thurs
day was devoted to the Polish prob
lem and minor matters.
Urge Announcement on U. S. Stand:
Cables from America are pouring
in at the president's Parisian "White
House," urging him to announce the
position of the United States forth
with and then energetically maintain
that position, come what may.
- The peoples of all countries rep
resented at the conference are de
manding action immediate action
to offset the growing unrest every
where. Immediate' decision is im
perative. The eyes of all the world
are hanging on President Wilson's
lips, aching for the saving word.
Reports from Germany show the
Spartacans are gaining steadily.
American plenipotentiaries are urg
ing' that speed alone can save the
situation if the peace congress ex
pects to find any semblance of a Sta
ble government in Germany with
which to deal.
Added to this problem is the con
fusion of views emanating from the
conference as to what attitude, if
any, should be adopted toward the
bolsheviki. The secrecy with which
the subject has been handled has
given rise to grave concern.
In the British House oi Commons
serious implications arf"being voiced
regarding the "subtle influence of
international financiers interested in
German concerns."
Albert Calls on House.
King Albert of the Belgians again
shattered all precedents of royalty
by calling on Colonel House today
instead of inviting the colonel to
come to him. American soldiers
and sailors attached to the Crillon
cheered the king on entering . and
leaving.
Later King Albert discussed with
President Wilson Belgium's priority
claim to have Brussels made the
seat of the league of nations.
It can be stated with authority
that the time limit within which
positive action must be taken one
way or the other is not more than a
single week.
Incidentally, the British parlia
mentary attacks on President Wil
son have naturally created a feeling
of resentment among the American
peace delegates, and among all
Americans on this side. They have
given added impetus to the urgings
on the president for pitiless pub
licity regarding everything that has
happened to date and letting the
peoples of the world judge from
the actual facts upon whose shoul
ders rests the blame for the delay
in making peace.
Lloyd George Denies France
and England Are Near Break
Paris, April 4. In a statement to
the Petit Parisien, ! Premier Lloyd
George of Great Britain denies
there are disseitsions between
France and England regard
ing guarantees for France against
Germany. He declares that the un
derstanding between the two gov
ernments is complete and that Eng
land is "ready to make fresh sacri
fices, if necessary, to secure the
peace and independence of France."
The interview was sought, says a
Havas agency summary of it, be
cause of the rumor recently in cir
culation to the effect that Great
Britain would oppose in the peace
conference the French demands for
guarantees.
Although discussions were neces
sary to settle the knotty problems
frequently brought to the attention
of the conferees, Mr. Lloyd George
is quoted as saying the understand
ing between the two nations remain
ed absolutely unimpaired.
"We wish France to yknow that
it is the' will of the British people
that France should have complete
security for the future," the British
premier declared. "'
Even if were 50 years hence, the
premier added, England would be
ready at that tifne again to make
sacrifices for France if Germany
should let loose the scourge of war
on France for the third time.

almost disappeared from the market,
although easily obtainable at from 30
to 35 cents each from private sourc

for the making of Easter bakes, and
it is expected by the optimists that
they will be somewhat less scarce
and less costly ' after the Easter
season.
