All the rivers have been exceedingly high from the floods, al. though there has been no damage to amount to anything The earlier freshets of the river washed out at least a dozen bridges along the win ter trail between Dawson and White horse. These bridges will all be re. placed this summer.

IS TO EMPLOY WOMEN
 FOR AVIATION

LONDON, June 4.-That the Brit ish government will soon employ women as aviatOrs is the statement made today by George H. Roberts the English minister of labor. When making this statement, the minister said that the English government thought that women would make good flyers.
 The women of England have en tered many professions and trades since the Country has entered into war against Germany Aviation is about the only profession that has not been employing a great number of women. These British women have proven themselves to be very efficient in any trade they under take. It is believed that training camps will soon be started through out the British empire for the pur pose of training these women in the business of handling an airplane.
 Since this announcement has been made there have been many volun teers from all parts of the country who have requested the government that they be given an opportunity to prove their ability in handling an airplane. In the event of this policy being put into effect, there is nc doubt expressed that the govern ment will be able to fill all vacan cies.

MANY ARRIVING
 FROM DISTRICT
 OF BIG BATTLE

PARIS. June 4.-Pouring into this city today in a steady stream are the refugees from the battle dis. tricts along the Aisne and Marne rivers. These people hurriedly left their homes before the advance of the German armies. Owing to theil sudden departure they were unable to make any preparations for the trip. and for that reason many are in pitiable condition.
 The refugees are arriving in the city on trains and canal boats. Many of the families have foated down the Marne on makeshift rafts. A great number of these people have had no food since leaving their homes. As soon as it was learned by the authorities here that there were a great many desolate refu- gees on their way to Paris. several large auto trucks attached to the Red Cross were hastily loaded with provisions and sent to meet the people. Several thousand were af- forded temporary shelter and suste- nance in this way.
 Had it not been for this assist ance. there is no doubt that the suf- fering along the road to Paris would have been greater than it was. The trucks were not able to afford relief to all the refugees, and as 8 result many of them are in a precarious condition. Nasty preparations have been made throughout the city to care for the homeless guests.

steamer picked up an empty lifeboat which had belonged to tine liner Carolina. The boat shows signs of having been shclled by the enemy submarine. Above the water line the boat shows several splintered places as the result of being struck by shells. It Is not known whether those who were in the boat were drowned of were able to transfer to another lifeboat of the steamer.
 An early report states that 1t is possible that the death toll of the torpedoed steamer will be reduced to less than $50. This is based on the reports which have been gath cred showing the number of surviv- ors which are now accounted for. It is entirely probable that great many more people have been res cued than have been reported.
 Nineteen survivors of the steamer Carolina have been landed in Dela- ware. but there are still POP passen- gers and 128 members of the crew that have not been accounteds for The steamer City of Columbus. which was reported yesterday as missing, has arrived safely in an Atlantic port.

 MINE PICKED UP
 WASHINGTON. D. C.. June 4.- A mine sweeper belonging to the United States navy has picked up mine of the Delaware capes. The mine was found in approximately the same location that the tanker Herbert l.. Pratt was sunk. It is entirely probable that this was the cause of the sinking of the steamer.
