Canadians Show Sympathy
by Tokens of Flowers

Ordinarily when a family is mourn
ing the loss Of one of it's members
through death, friends can express a
measure Of their sympathy with the
bereaved by sending floral token TO
the house of mourning
In Canada where, in the last three
years or more, very many families
have been plunged into mourning
through the loss Of loved one who
has given his life for his country while
serving with the allied forces, there
have been mo obsequies, no laying
away, nor even the consolation, If 1t
be consolation, of consigning to the
grave all that was mortal Of him who
has departed.
And yet, as in the other case. flow
ers carried the message OF sympathy
the words which could not be ex-
pressed in written form. The friends,
many of whom no doubt, had expert
enced a bereavement under similar
circumstances, sent boxes OF loose
flowers to those who mourned, accom-
panied by cord bearing the simple
inscription, Sympathy" They said
it with flowers; the blooms carried
the message of love, the handshake,
the emotion which few can hide when
called upon to face distress which
has come upon those whom we es-
TEEN, and with whose family circle we
have had pleasurable association.
This custom is widespread in Can
ada, and will hardly disappear until
the end of the war.

ty food administrator, from DR.. Harry
Barnard. federal food administrator
for Indiana:
"Give fullest publicity to following:
1t represents the policy Of the food

asseration Of the vital seriousness Of
the situation. | am today asking the
people of Indiana to go on strictly
wheatless diet l ask them to refrain
from the use of wheat -four and other

en- to every patriotic request made OF
them to this hour. They will comply
with this request. Their devotion to
the cause of world freedom will be
equal to the test"

The cards used in the registration
of women taken soon after the out
break Of the war do not answer the
present requirements, so the Indiana
State Council Of Defense has decided
to take new registration, and this
time will use the National Council of
Defense cards, which will be much
more satisfactory, and we hope this
registration will be complete.
When the cards are all assembled,
they will be arranged in alphabetic
order, according to the name of the
woman as it is written on the card.
The cards are kept in a cabinet pro-
vided for the purpose. During the
period of the war. the registration
cards will be retained at the county
seat of each county. Summaries of
local registration cards are to be
sent to the state headquarters. The
information on these cards will thus
be available to government officials.
both state and federal, and to other
authorized agencies.
1t should be understood that the
government is not asking any one
who cannot afford volunteer service
to work without pay. nor is it asking
any woman to work her entire time,
if she has other obligations.
The absence of either federal or
state law calling for such a census
forces those who are taking the reg
istration to depend upon their ability
to make the average woman under
stand that the registration binds to
absolutely nothing. The filling out of
the cards is done by the registrar
from the information voluntarily
given, and from patriotic motives.
The usual enemy opposition has de-
veloped, and such statements as the
one which conveys the suggestion
this this is a draft of women" that
the government would later require
women to perform such tasks as she
admitted she was able to perform.
that the information put down on the
cards would be used by CONSUMPTION
boards as the evidence OF the woman
being able to support herself should
her husband be called on for army

BRITISH ROYAL
FLYING CORPS
LEAVES TEXAS
Thousands Of Cadets Train
With Americans at Fl.
Worth.
(By Associated Press)

FORT WORTH, Tex. April 1.-The
British royal flying corps, commanded
by Brigadier-General Hoare. of Indian
jungle campaign fame. which has been
training here since October, will soon
be starting back to Toronto, Canada.
The training will be resumed In Can
ada. The British. thousands strong,
came to Fort Worth and shared the
three American fields here at the In.
vitation OF the United States govern
ment. 1t was return courtesy for
the British invitation last summer to
the Americans to train in Canada.
Famous Leader Present.
Among the first arrivals at the Am
erican aviation training fields was
Lord Wellesley. grandson Of the Duke
OF Wellington and now a lieutenant.
colonel. Lord Wellesley will head the
first contingent that leaves Fort
Worth for Canada. Another famous
flyer who reached the Texas fields was
Captain Vernon Castle. an ace Of the
air who was subsequently killed In an
accident
The British opened the three fields
here. taking charge before the Amer
leans arrived. They have retained
charge of the training, even Of the
Americans, and have directed the
aerial gunnery school continuously.
Major Ballard has been in charge Of
the gunnery branch since Major Kin
nersley was sent back to the western
front.
Training on Schedule.
It is not permitted to say how many
men and souadrons the British have
sent from Fort Worth to Europe, but
training has been up with the schedule.
The training has been rapid and in
tensive, nothing illustrating this more
than the large number Of cadets killed.
To date forty-seven deaths resulted
from accident at the three fields two
third being British. The vast major
ity of those killed were cadets-only
two captains succumbing to injuries,
though number of other officers were
injured. Three mechanics have been
killed.
II is also noteworthy that the num-
Der of mechanics sent abroad has not
been large. each squadron being COM
posed almost exclusively Of filters. so
great has been the call.
The British will not return to Can
ada in one body-the movement ex-
tending over ten days. After the men
in the fields have moved out. the head.
quarters staff will go.
Whether the British will return to
Fort Worth next fall depends upon
whether they receive an invitation
from the war department, 1t is said
here.

gument was advanced that the pas
sage OF such an ordinance would be
