Two things are necessary If you

citizen unless you pay your honest
debts. You can't have friends if you
are a dead beat. Settle up. Be able
to look any man in the face. You
can't be good citizens unless you
settle down. You've got to be identi-
fed permanently with the people of
some community You've got to be
fixture You've got to own a home

you are pretty sure to get it. Purpose
aims the one big thing in life.
The drifter never gets anywhere-or
rather, he is always getting some

and he goes on and on-and finally
he ends his career with nothing. The
drifter is not much Of a patriot
he never saved a nation, town-or a
dollar. The drifter isn't worth much

nifty where he happens to be stop

He is going to move next week. He
isn't knocker, because he hasn't
enough ginger in his blood to knock.
Knocking is a nnis-directed energy
The man who has no energy cant
knock. Better a knocker than moth
ing-but better still, booster Bet
ter to have an alma purpose. Bet
ter to want home-Better to get one.
A good man may live in a rented
house-but he is better man when
he gets home. Any red-b1ooded man
any man who is able to a days work
has a chance to own a home-a spot
that he and his wife and babies can
call their own. In every locality there
are men who will HEP other men to
own homes. Homes today can be
bought on the installment plan. A
small payment down, with modest
payments to follow, will give any
man a home in a few years-and
he can save rent bill while he's pay

dustrious - clean-cut, honest man =
installment home buying is a safe
proposition.

Home Addresses
Again To Be Given
In Casualty Lists
Change Will Relieve Anxi-
ETY. Among Relatives and
Aid Identification

WASHINGTON, May 2-The Wal
Department will resume tomorrow
publication Of the home addresses Of
men reported on the casualty lists from
France. Orders to that effect have beer
issued, and the list given out tomorrow
morning will be in the old form fol
lowed prior to Secretary Bakers in.
structlons sent from France early ir
April.
This action means that it has been
determined that any military informa-
lists would not be of sufficient value to
Justify the added anxiety among the
relatives of soldiers occasioned by sup.
preston of this aid to positive identi-
fcation. 1t ends controversy that was
waged in Congress for time, which
caused an open rupture of friendly re-
lations between the War Department
and the Committee on Public Informa-
ton. and which President Wilson him
self was called upon to take hand in
settling.
When the department began issuing
casualty lists without addresses the
fused to handle them, on the ground
form. Since then the lists have been
made public by the adjutant generals s
Office direct. Army officials are inclined
now, it is understood. to continue with
the present arrangement, holding that
the committee went wholly out of it's
proper field in refusing to handle the
limited lists.
The department is now said to be
convinced that the addresses can fur
nish no information to the enemy even
if means to communicate them to Ger
mary exists, and that then the total
number of casualties in any list tells
nothing.
The question of publishing addresses
with casualties is known to have been
fully discussed with General Pershing
but there was no information available
tonight to show whether he had been
overruled in the order to resume the
old practice. Many officers think he
probably approved the cange when he
was fully Informed as to the situation
at home.

With Feeling Improved,

LONDON, May (via ottawa .--"The

dent says there is decided improve

sequence Of the appointment of Ed
ward Short as Chief Secretary for
Ireland. He is not merely Home
Ruler, but voted with the Nationalsts
against conscription for Ireland
Premier Lloyd George, in a letter
expressing sympathy with the memorial
Of sixty thousand Irish workers on
the banks of the River Tyne, favoring
imme diate self-government for Ireland,
wrote:
"The difficulties have not been rem
dered easier Of settlement by the chal-
lenge to Supremacy of the United
Kingdom Parliament in that sphere
which always has been regarded as
properly belonging to it by all advo.

was issued by the Nationalist party
and the Roman Catholic hierarchy, in
concert with the leaders of the Sim
Fein.'
Andrew Bonar Law. Chancellor of
the Exchequer and government spokes-
man, declared in the House of Com
mons Wednes day he could not say
when an Irish Home Rule bill would
be introduced
"The Daily News" says the govern
ment has met with serious difficulties
in its Irish policy, and cannot find a
successor to Baron Wimborne, who has
resigned the Lord Lieutenantship, while
the committee appointed to draft a
bill up to this time has settled vir-
tually nothing except the preamble
It's deliberations, it is added, are held
up on the issue of giving the veto to
Ulster and also in considering past
ministerial promises to Ulster.
The only way out Of the difficulties
is, in the opinion of responsible Labor
members of the House of Commons,
chat the government temporarily aban-
don both conscription and Home Rule.

Downfall of
Lloyd George
Is Predicted
Editor of John Bull Writes
of Overthrow of the Pres
ent Government
lStof Correspondence
(Tribune Cable Service)


LONDON, May "A significant feat
ure of the political situation is the
desertion of John Bull" the Labo,
paper, with It's 100000 circulation
from the Lloyd George ranks. Under
the heading. "Why Lloyd George Will
Co." Aoratio Bottomley, the editor,
predicts in this weeks issue the down.
fall of the present government when
the Home Rule bill reaches the House
of Lords.
Though some political observers be-
lieve the situation will continue un-
changed until after the introduction of
the Home Rule measure, others think
crisis is likely to develop almost i'm
mediately.
The government opponents are fol-
lowing the tactics they adopted some
months ago, when they began to snipe
Lloyd George and his colleagues with
out attempting to press for decision
Asquith refuses to make a move which
could be interpreted as an attempt to
obstruct the government, though many
of his speeches certainly are calculated
to cause it much embarrassment.
Lord Hugh Cecil and Sir Edward
Carson seem determined to follow
these sniping methods from the Union
ist benches, while the Labor members
remain among the government opposi-
ton. The Irish Nationalists have de-
serted Parliament completely.
The Conservative Morning POST
Evening Globe" Spectator" and "Sat-
urday Review" are decidedly critical OF
the government and press for reor-
ganization Of the War Cabinet. The
Liberal "Daily News" Evening STAR
and "Nation" have grown more hostile
to the government.
Instead of consistently supporting
the Premier on all questions, the
Northclitfe press now is criticising
favorably or adversely, according to the
merits Of the case as it sees them. The
Liberal "Daily Chronicle" is following
much the same policy.
1t should be remembered that Lloyd
George is not the leader either of the
Liberals or the Conservatives, and his
position depends largely on the amount
of newspaper backing he enjoys. Ap-

Leymarie on Stand in
"Bonnet Rouge" Trial

PARIS, May 2.-At the resumption
to-day of the trial of persons involved
in the affair of the "Bonnet Rouge
a newspaper said to have German fin
ancial backing and to have been en-
gagged in propaganda for the enemy,
Jean Leymarie, former director of the
Ministry of the Interior under the
Malvy administration and later head
of the Secret Service, took the wit
ness stand.
He testified that NJ. Malvy. in Oc-
tober, 1916, told him to order the pre-
lecture of police not to deliver further
Bonnet Rouge" or to M. Marion, as
sistant manager of the newspaper
Later, after two of the defendants in
the present case, Landau and Goldsky,
had pleaded with him in Duval's behalf,
he allowed the latter to obtain the
passport because Duval declared it was
necessary for him to travel to Switz-
erland on account of French interests
in the liquidation of the San Stefano
Casino Company.
The witness explained the restitution
of check for 10000 francs to M.
Duval, after the check had been taken
said he had understood the Ministry
Of War had decided to return the check
because it believed the sum repre-
sented money from the liquidation
from the Casino Company.
M Vercasson, one Of the accused.
admitted having brought back from
Switzerland for M. Duval nearly 100000
francs, Duval assuring him the money
was from French sources.
Police Commissioner Faralicu, who
is charged with the Bonnet Rouge in
vestigation, gave evidence which tended
to show connection between this case
and several others that are now going
on.

Boys "Over There" to
Have "Mothers' Dav''

PARIS, May 2.-"Mothers' Day." a
day on which every soldier of the
American Expeditionary Forces, young
and old, high and low, is expected to
write home to mother, has been fixed
for May IL. The idea originated with
"The Stars and Stripes" the official
newspaper of the American forces in
Europe, and was approved by head
quarters, which is doing everything
possible to help it along.
The postoffice is rising to the occa-
sion and the Y. M. C. A. has promised
that on that date it's huts will be
stocked with an abundant supply of
writing paper. The censors have de-
cided to work overtime, SO that the
letters will be speeded on to the
United States without delay.
The experience of the army postof-
flee has taught that mothers come first
in the soldiers thought, and SO has
decided to mako every possible effort
that every mother in America whose
son is in France. shall receive tidings
from her "boy."
Mothers may expect their letters to
begin arriving early in June.
