WAR HAS STARTED BOOM FOR AIRPLANES Aviation Pilots Who Have Been Trained to Use Them Instead of Autos. The end of the war, instead of stopping, will give fresh impetus to the work of airplane and flying boat communication, according to a statement issued today by the Aero Club of America.

Peary is chairman and Henry Woodhouse, vico chairman, that offers have been received from organizations and people, who are ready to establish landing places for airplanes and flying boats, on land and water, or practically every mile from the center of New York, 100 miles away In every direction.

U. S. Pt. Off. 1 ruaraatM illt'i KOLCHAK'S REGIME AT OMSK IGNORED BY GEN, SEMENOFF Washington Worried by Situation in Siberia Bolshevik Guns Trained on Allied Front.

(By the Associated Press.) Washington, November 26 An official report reached the State Department today of the refusal of Gen. Bem-enoff, anti-Bolshevik commander in the Tritnsbalkal regian, to recognize the dictatorship of Admiral Kolchak, set up by the All Russian Government of Omsk. This devclopmeht is regarded as serious by officials in Washington, but they slill hope that Scmenoff's friendly relations with Gen. Horvath, one of the strong figures at Omsk, may make It possible to restore harmony in Siberia. TheOmsk government has seemed to offer the best opportunity for re-establishment of order, reaching from Siberia into Kuropean Russia, and the elimination of the Bolshevik element.

Admiral Kolchak was appointed dictator by the Omsk government after an attempt had been made by two" or three military ofliccrs of the government to seize the reins of power. Archangel, Monday, November 25 Winter has begun in earnest over the whole northern Russian front. All Ihe rivers are ice bound and the Bol-sheevist gunboats, which have long menaced the American and Allied forces on Dvina, have been forced to withdraw to escape being frozen in. The Bolshevists, however, have mounted big guns along the front south of the Allied armies. REV, E.

P. HALL SUED FOR SEPARATION Wife Alleges "Brutal, Abusive-' Conduct Pastor Denies Bacon" Mentioned. The Rev. Eugene P. Hall, pastor of the Beecher Memorial Church, has been named defendant in a suit for separation brought by his wife, Mrs.

Anna A. Hall, of 2588 Cooper ave, Queens Borough, who today applied to Justice Manning In Supreme Court for counsel fee and alimony pending trial of the action. In her complaint Mrs. Hall alleged that since the marriage. In March, 1910, the conduct of her husband has been "uniformly brutal and abusive," and that lately his actions were such that it was unsafe and improper for her to live with him.

Answering his wife's charge, the clergyman denied he was guilty of misconduct and said his "once beautiful home life" had been broken up by a man named Bacon, who he had befriended and given a home. The clergyman's aflldavlt declared that Bncon and Mrs. Hall had become infatuated with teach other and that he first faw evidence of that in Bacon's desire to help Mrs. Hall scrub floors, wash dishes and do other work that permitted him to stay In the house near Mrs. Hall.

The Rev. Mr, Hall alleges that Bacon is a frequent visitor nowadays at his wife's home and he expresses tho opinion that the two are "conspiring to get rid of him and control of his property to make tho future more pleasant for. themselves." Although the papers filed by the attorneys for the warring Halls described the man In the case only as "Mr. Bacon," other court records show that in 1914 Capt Samuel Marshall Bacon was sued for separation in the Manhattan Supreme Court hy his wife, Dora Bacon. In that action Mrs.

Bacon accused the Rev. Eugene P. Hall of breaking up her home. The Rev. Mr.

Hall was then pastor of the First Baptist Church, Long Island City. Mrs. Bacon at that time alleged that the clergyman hed sided with her husband In their marital dispute and that her husband bought Christmas presents for the clergyman's two children, but none for his own. Not long ago the Rev. Mr, Hall, who lives at 680 Onderdonk had a falling out with Albert Kurzman, his next door neighbor, who was also his partner in a goldfish hatchery, and complained against him in Jamaica police court.

Justice Manning reserved deolslon on Mrs. Hall's alimony plea. BROOKLYN COURTS KUPRBMR COURT. Siicclnl Term. Part I.
