new VAN POWER SCHEME
is PLANNED BY BRITISH
Aims to Control Through Board Ev-

in That Country. i

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON. April 20.-The British gov
eminent. through a new department
known as the road transport board. is
about to introduce a van power
scheme" for the control of every kind
Of road transport in the country.
The object of the plan. it is stated. is
ito enforce every conceivable economy
in reducing the duplication of all deliv-
cry services. to put every vehicle en-
gagged in road transport to the best use
in the essential trade interests of the
country. and to provide emergency
transport for military purposes by u.s.
ing the surplus vehicles thus secured"
The country is being divided into
thirteen districts, with a divisional
board in each composed of experts in
the transport trade. Every road vehi-
Gle will be registered and full particu-
lars taken of its carrying capacity and
character. and licenses will be issued
showing the purposes for which each
vehicle may be used.
The whole scheme will go into opera.

new LYONS FAIR BUILDING
WILL COVER THIRTY ACRES
Increased Interest Of American
Firms in Last Years Exhibition
Was Great Feature.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LYON. France, April 8.-The first
piles have just been driven for the
foundation of the place in which the
Lyon fair will be held hereafter. Tho
building will cover thirty acres Of
ground alongside the park Of the Tete
dor on the banks Of the Rhone. and
will accommodate 1000 exhibitors. The
cost is estimated at 100000 francs.
This outlay is justified on tho ground
that the gross receipts from last years
fair were 100000 francs.
The remarkably increased interest of
American firms in the enterprise was
the outstanding feature Of the last fair.
They numbered 543 as against rs in
1916. and the United States passed from
sixth in importance among foreign ex-
hibitors to the first rank, with more
than four times as many exhibitors as
any other foreign country. The figures
were: American. $40: English. 1870:
Swiss, ia; Spanish. 80; Italian. 40:
Dutch. %.
Business approaching 100000, 900
francs was transacted. This exceeds
the business done at the Leipzig fair of
1914. when the organizers announced a
total of 800, 10000 marks.
The Palais de la Foire. as 1t will be
called, will furnish Office accommoda-
lions to exhibitors as we'll as stands,
warehousing facilities, rail transporta-
ton to doors of the palace and ample
provision will be made for clearing ex-
hibits through the customs at off1ces on
the grounds.

ITALY TAKES PROBATION
TO STABILIZE EXCHANGE
Senders Of Money From That Coun-
try Must Specify on Blanks
Absolute Necessity.

Correspondence Of tn. Associated Press.
ROME, April 15-No money can now
be sent out Of Italy by means of bank
drafts, unless the sender can prove
the absolute necessity for so doing as
by the presenting of bills to be paid.
This is particularly true of large sums
of money. This Is one of the measures
taken by the government to stabilize
exchange and prevent speculation in
italian money. Exchange rates are
also fixed by law weekly. to prevent
artificial fluctuations.
According to Oscar T. Crosby. who
was recently here representing the
United States Treasury Department in
connection with efforts to assist Ita1y's
finances, the real difficulty of not only
Italy but also England and France. is
that they are in need of American
money to stabilize their exchange.
what they need ia dollars" he said.
BY the plan of Minister of the Treas
ury Nitti, so far as concerns the
Americans here who desire to send
money home for any reason, or to any
foreign country, they must fill out IN
duplicate a blank form provided by the
bank selling them drafts. and on this
blank they must give the name of the
person to whom money is sent, with
the exact reason. Persons travelling
NAV buy the money of the country to
which they are destined on presenta-
ton Of passports or other papers.

Their Yearly Damage to

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.-THE yearly dam
age 10 food by rats in England alone
is estimated at 100000. 900. according
to a cautionary notice just issued to
farmers by a government committee.
The latter urges a ruthless offensive
against the rat. 1t says. in part:
"In your buildings. granaries and
barns you have an underground enemy
who destroys our food supplies almost
as much as the submarine. The nation
cannot afford to keep rats at a moment
when every sack of wheat is urgently
needed.
Tn the rush of work on the farm
rats have been neglected and have
multiplied. They breed faster than
any other vermin. The rat will breed
when four months old and have from
three to five filters in a year. The
average litter is ten, but as many as
twenty-three have been found. At that
rate OF increase you cannot go on feed
ing them. But unless you are pre-
pared to feed them it Is an unneigh-
borly act to keep them at all, for the
moment you stint them of food they
will swarm over your neighbours farm
"At a moderate estimate the English
countryside is feeding one rat per head
of the total population of these islands
and ten rats will eat. apart from what
they spoil. as much grain as you and
your wife consume. Save the English
harvest Of 1918 for yourselves and don't
waste it on rats.

CARE Of THE BODY
|SAWATOR'S NEED
Instruction in Practical. Flying
Far More Easier Than
Moral Training.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
AMERICAN AVIATION CAMP. South
ern Italy, April 10.-Control Of young
men on a foreign soil is considered one
of the main difficulties Of their train
ing by the American commander here.
The instruction in the art of practical
flying is far easier than teaching them
how to avoid the inevitable tempta-
lions presented to visitors in a new
and interesting country. AS the very
life of the aviators depends on their
mental and physical condition. without
counting machines worth $4,000 or
more each. the commander is doing all
in his power to teach his aviators to
lead sober lives in every respect.
The rough and ready discipline ap-
piled to infantry or artillery or cavalry
has not been found adapted to avia-
tors on whose morale so much depends
Downright drunkenness and the con-
only two offenses which meet with
severe punishment, and the latter al
ways means court-martial.
Reminded Of Stern Fact.
For the rest. persuasion is used. In
tho nightly lectures on flying. the
aviators frequently are reminded Of
this stern fact: You have been sent
over here after great expense by the
government of the United States. A
whole lot of money is being spent on
you, probably more than some of you
are worth. But you were picked out as
first-class men. and it's up to you to
prove it."
A small handbook entitled Practical
Flying Hints has just been published
for the benefit Of the camp by one of
the Italian instructors, and the fore
word by the American commander
deals with the care of the body.
THE first requisite for an aviator is
strong and healthy body" 1t reads.
In addition to that he must have the
proper nervous and mental makeup,
always on the alert and with absolute
control over his body. He must not be
of an excitable nature nor know fear.
for aviation is not the branch Of serv
ice for man with a yellow streak"

The latter thereupon drew his re-

not until they had come to grips and
