The German government with char
acteristic foresight is giving serious
attention to all expected after-war
problem, in the form of an amazingly
large number Of tramps which are
expected to roam over the empire at
the conclusion of hostilities, unless
steps be taken to prevent it. It is ex.
pected that thousands of laborers
mechanics, clerks, etc., now at the
front will have lost all taste for quiet
peaceful work when hostilities cease.

BEWARE OF DEMAGOGUES.

Under the caption of elbow Repub.-
licans Should Vote," the Sank Center
Herald makes forcible appeal to the
voters Of the dominant party in this
state to exercise discretion at the en-
suing primary election ns,June and
vote for men of recognized. =, ability
and integrity, men who can be trusted,
and to turn deaf ear to brazen-faced,
specious demagogues. ...
The writer must have had the con-
test for the United States senatorship
in mind when he penned these para
graphs:
"These be parlous times; great is
sues are at stake and strong passions
are excited. Our foreign relations are
strained to the breaking point and our
internal domestic affairs muddled as
mixed drinks.
"Never in the history of the repub-
lie was there a greater demand for
clear thinking, lofty craftsmanship,
wise legislation and able administra-
ton.
sowing to our crazy-quilt primary
system there will be and is multi
plicity of candidates for every posi-
ton, many of whom the ordinary man
would not employ to drive a junk wa
gon, who are journeying to and frc
like a pestilence, loudly proclaiming
that upon their selection and election
depends the safety of the Nation and
the welfare of humanity.

FORSEES AERIAL PASSENGER AND MESSAGE
 SERVICE IN THE U. S.
By WILBUR S. FORREST

(United Press Staff Correspondent
 LONDON, June 1.-(By MaiD-In future, when giant aeroplanes are making nonstop mail and passenger runs between New York and Chicago and between other American cities air passengers will be kept in minut- est touch with the days news by wire less; and officers of the aircraft will receive their orders that way, too.
 This dream is legitimatized today by Signor Marconi, the youthful father of of the wireless, here from Italy.
 Through a series of experiments carried on in Italy, Marcom anounc- ed that the problem of transmitting wireless messages to aeroplanes has been solved. Hitherto this has been impossible. Explaining the invention, Marconi said: Before now aero planes have been at a disadvantage with airships in wireless work be- cause, while they were able to trans init messages, they have not been able to receive them.
 This was because the receiving signal was too faint to be distinguish ed over the noise of the motor.
 "We have been able to strengthen the receiving signal sufficiently to enable messages to be taken"
 Great commercial opportunities are open to the wireless after the war, Marconi also announced.
 Long distance transmission has been signally improved.
 The wireless telephone already is playing it's part in the war. Marconi is soldier and therefore cannot give details of his new discoveries. But he added significantly:
 "The war has by no means hinder ed the development of wireless science"
 Marconi is expected to make i'm portant announcements after the war.

YUKONER Is KILLED
 WHILE IN FLANDERS

DAWSON. William B. Fowlie, well known Dawson man, has received word that his brother, Joseph Fowlie, a former Klondiker, has been killed in the trenches while serving in the Cam adian army in Flanders. Joe was killed April 2. He was in this coun- try for several years. He enlisted at Edmonton, where his mother lives. Joe was a veteran of two other wars. He was at Dargi Heights, India, and through all the South African war, and left for the front in this war with the first draft of troops. Three other brothers of the family are at the front. William. who is in this camp, is working on Hunker creek. He formerly was in the wood saving business in the city-News.
