PARIS NEWSPAPER FUND
FOR COSTES AND BELLONTE UNPLEASANT DEVELOPMENT. LONDON, September 28. A regrettable situation has arisen at Paris over the newspaper fund being raised for Costes and Bellonte, tiie French airmen, who recently flew the Atlantic. The fund was opened by the * Soir,’ other newspapers co-operating on the understanding that the subscriptions would be shared with the ‘ Broken Wings” Fund in aid of the widows and orphans of dead airmen. ‘ Soir ’ now announces that Costes had cabled from the Unites States, declaring that it should be left to him and Bellonto to decide on the allocation of “ Broken Wings.” The newspaper thereupon decided to have nothing more to do with the subscriptions, and returned all donations. There is general newspaper comment to the effect that it is rogrettable that Costes’s qualities of heroism and intelligence are not combined with sentiments of dignity and delicacy.
