HALF OF WAGE FARMERS
OF GREAT BRITAIN WILL
HAVE.T0 SEEK NEW JOBS

LONDON, Eng-It is estimated that
between six and eight millions of per-
sons now employed by the govern
ment, representing half the wage
earning population of the United King
dom, will have to be discharged at
the end of the war, according to the
report of the committee on labor prob
lens after the war. All these workers
will not be discharged simultaneously,
but it is probable that within two
months after peace has been declared
some two or three million workers
will be turned Off
Regarding the army demobiliza-
ton, the committee calculates that
the rate of disarmament cannot ex-
coed 5000 daily, at which rate six
months would be occupied in demobi-
LIKING less than one million of the
huge army.

WHEN MARRIAGE
Is A FAILURE

Surely marriage is a failure when its
essential purpose, the raising of a
family of children, proves impossible.
In the childless home the married
pair, though sometimes more or less
unconscious of the fact, grow disap-
pointed and lonely. Lacking the best
tie to hold them together they are
likely to drift apart, hence many sep
arations and divorces.
II every wife, whose physical state
prevents motherhood, would but try
that great remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, there would be
far fewer childless homes

At home peace and serenity reign but where

For the soldier and sailor tender remen,-

MAY END THE WAR
THERE is NEED OF BoMBARDING sQUADRONs FOR THE
GREAT RAIDS INTO THE GERMAN TER
RITORY
TEAM WORK. NECESSARY FOR SUCCESS
(By UNITED pRESS)

Paris, Nov. 9.-Cantain de
Kerillis, of the French Air Ser
vice, hero of innumerable air
raids, in an interview with the
United Press today, pointed out
the great Importance of. these en-
terprises and predicted at the
cooperation Of America .fnese
undertakings would "shake the
morals of the German people and
hasten the end Of the war. -
Air bombardments,' said the
Captain, care becoming one Of
the most scientific forms Of war
fare. Every day they are becom-
ing more complicated.
''On June q of hast year, We
undertook raid on Car'sruhe as
reprisal for q recent raid on
Barbecue. The effect Of the
French raid was so salutary, that
for a long time all German raids
on French towns ceased On tn,
German aviators, whom we cap
tured we found strict orders to
cease bcmbarding French towns.
! "Finallv, however, the Germ
ans evidently decided that it was
/ worth while beginning their ter
rOrlzlng SYSTEM again, 50 they
started their air raids once more,
though mostly on England.
''Our raids into Germany are
from every point Of view more
formidable enterprises than the
German raids in France or Eng
land. For, in the first place, we
have to cover very long distances
to attain our objective, and, sec
ondly, we are obliged to descend
very low when actually launching
our bombs. as we have strict Or
ders to lombard only such points
in the enemy's territory which
are actually Of military import
ance, such as barracks, stations,
etc
With the cooperation Of
America, this object should be
quickly attained. This viii be the
quickest means Of putting a ston
to German raids in France and
England. It will also do more
than anything else to shake the
morals Of the German nation and
hasten the end Of the war

HAWAIIANS
PLEASED LEI CRITICS

The Wiltse Royal Hawaiians
entertained a very large house
last night at the Dixie, and fur
thermore received a royal well
come, every number being en-
cored, the gallery, at times, being
very boisterous.
The instrumental work Of all
was very commendable, the viol-
mist being specially good, as was
the Hawaiian guitar player, who
rendered the S'Star Spangled
Banner'' with the most alluring
variations.
The lady in the company had a
far reaching voice, and, whilst
shrill, was quite musical in cali
bre. The male singers had no par
.ticular quality Of voices, but sing
ing the queer melodies that fasci-
nate, as do all Hawaiian airs, the
quality Of voice is not as essential
as smoothness and harmony, and
this was satisfactorily afforded.
Before the last curtain the an
nouncement was made that the
quartette would return for an
other days engagement tomorrow,
Saturday, when matinee and night
performance would be given.
AT seven o'clock the three male
performers, led by their manager
and Mr.. r. J. Madry, visited the
home Of Mrs. A. M. Riddick and
played to Mr.. Newsom Rlddlck,
who has been sick for several
weeks, which he not only enjoyed
but was a very kindly act on the
part of the management to think
Of entertaining our sick folks
