Paris,' March 29. French aviation ex
perts are agreed that it is impossible to
prevent Germany or any other nation
from building commercial airplanes irf
time of: peace which tfi be used a
bombing planes in case of war. The dif
ference between a bombing ..plane and
a comercial piano Is so ' light at the
present time as to be- praetlcally neg
liglble. Germany can: be forbidden to
manufacture bombs and. explosives, say
the experts,, but she can hardly be for
bidden to make airplanes. It . is even
doubtful, adds one French engineer, if
such prohibition is desirable.
"German collaboration In the progress
or science and industry," says this en.
gineer, "should not be disdained pro.
Vtded a League of Nations is organized
permanently. Industrial prohibitions
and economic oppression might bring
about results exactly opposite to those
Intended. Free competition In peaceful
fields presents fewer dangers."
The true-means of avoiding danger Is
therefore said to be not f orbiding the
Germans to manufacture airplanes but
developing this industry to such an ex
tent in France, .England and America
that If the Germans should ever again
be tempted to bomb French towns they
wouia be deterred by rear of truly ter
rible reprisals. -
Business Paralyzed

Utrecht, March 29. The unsettled con
ditions in Europe are paralyzing busi
ness. The Leipzig fair has been post
poned until the end of April owing to
transport difficulties in Germany. Jn
Holland Bolshevism and the long dura
tion of tho peace preliminaries are hav
ing a bad effect. No one dares to ven
ture upon big enterprises while condi
tions are o uncertain. The ruin "of the
central empires and naturelly destroyed
their buying capacity and Impaired then-
credit. This is severely -felt . in Dutch
Commercial circles. , -(
i Recently a large party of Danes vis
ited Utrecht and a ..number of Swiss,
Belgians and Britons have also come
leading to the hope that the Utrecht fair
next year wlll , be internationalized so
that other ' nationalities -will be among
the exhibitors leading to a healthy com
petition between - Dutch - Industry and
that of 'other lands..: .
An innovation this year is the institu
tion of consulting rooms for the com
mercial attaches of several of the lega
tions where people desirous of doing
business with the countries represented
can be given full information.
This? novelty pleased the director of
the Liepzlg fair who visited tho exhibi
tion here. Ho said that he hoped this
city would b able to introduce the fea

Oddities Are Amusing

Paris, March 2f Sam Compers. pres

man of tho hundreds, of various officials

his fur-lined overcoat and cocky lltUe

Gom pers to also greatly given to ora
tory. - This Is one of tho scarcest eon
modules thatahas been produced since
tho peace sessions opened. . Ail of the
scores of meetings have taken on the
nature of informal talks. Few attempt to
"orate." Oompers, however, Is one of
tho few. He strews verbal flowers all
over the place," and is always good for
a couple of hours one he gets started.
Most everybody connected with the
peace conference Is - getting . . the - story
telling habit. - Whether it is a result
of the precedent set by. President Wil
son, or just a natural bubbling over,
isn't clear but. anyhow, everybody's
telling 'em. - 4 , ,
Henry. White, Republican member of
the American commission, tells stories
of other peace parleys and of his experi
ences - of years back in various diplo
matic posts. ' ' White knew Lord Robert
Cecil when Robert was a boy,it f , . -
Colonel House has also' taken to tell
ing stories. -Tho colonel has the diplo
matic advantage of every one thinking
he is very mysterlo-as." He' also has
the reputation of being terribly silent.
The colonel, however , of ten explains sit
uations as they exist in the conference
by telling a story of some incident in
ordinary life in which he figured. v
The next man you see who shows ab
solutely no emotion, no matter what ths
provocation, put him down as saving a
"Hedjas faee." ,
A "Hedjas faee is a "poker face"
raised to the nth degree. As a matter of
fact, a "poker face" radiates emotion,
as compared to the "Hedjas face.
The Prince of Hedjas of Arabia in
troduced tho face to the world when he
came to Paris as a delegate to the peace
conference. No matter what may be
going on about him... the expression on
the face of tho prince, never changes.
His eyes are always looking straight
ahead, dark as night. His swarthy face
is framed in the loose folds of his silken
Arabian head-dress of subdued colors,
He suggests the mystic. ;
. Aside from the heao-dress, the prince
wears clothing of modern cut. Over this,
however, he wears a loose black silken
robe-like coat, caught in at the waist by
a girdle. On formal occasions ho wears

' Paris, . March 29. While the . peace
conference, having; failed to solve the '
Russian question, bas dropped it tempo
rarily, the Bolshevik! seem about to
conquer all of Southern Russia, where
hitherto they have been held In chck
by tho Ukrainians.- Their - troops are
fighting the Don Cossacks only 160 kilo
meters (90 miles) northeast, of Rostof.
The important ports of Kherson and
Nicolateff on the Black sea have fallen
into their hands, Bolshevist uprisings
have been reported In t Odessa Itself,
where the allies landed troops only last
December under cover of the , guns of
the French navy. .. :- , ;
Kiev has been taken by the reds. . The,
anti-Bolshevist government of Petilours
has fled to Vlnnetsa. from which the,
Belsheviki are only 6( kilometers (89
miles) distant. The movement against'
the eastern district of Poland Is also'
becoming more clearly, outlined. The:
reds claim to have captured Lutsk. This!
advance brings them within 180 kilo
meters (98 miles) of the Dniester, where
the poorly equipped and bdly - provi
sioned Roumanian forces mayhave dif
ficulty in ' checking then. As tho
Ukraine is one of the granaries of Rus
sia, Its occupation by the ; Belsheviki
may modify the famine conditions In
Central Russia before the end of tne
year. . . ; " .-.m j;'.'
The Bolshevist advance has been fa
