in hurry. 1t is expected that the
Governors message will be read dur
ing the forenoon.

THE HOME-COMERS.

It reported that many of returning soldiers and
sailors instead of going back to their homes entering
the large cities to seek employment.
Inc large cities are preparing to take of their
own returning men, and employers will naturally replace
them in their old jobs in preference engaging non
residents
Two things compcate the employment question in
cities at present One that many employers have been
forced by the wartime distinction between essential and
nonessenta industries to lessen their product and must
wait for the indications of returning demand to in
crease it.
The second consideration is that many women and
older men have taken the places of young men, and in
many their services cannot in fairness be imme
diately dispensed with.
These conditions will make the city difficult place
at present for the young from small towns 1t will
be better for such young at present to return
his own home, where he is well known and take his old
job for the time being He watch the development
of business and make his descent upon the city when
conditions appear favorable.
1t may be that formerly too proud to fight
but certainly now proud of our fighting.
1t looks as if President Wilson would have full hand
OF kings and queens to show down upon the peace table
If it is decided to sink the German fleet better select
few German submarines to do it. They have had ex-
perience in that line

Opinion expressed by people along

there were some bitter attacks made

OLD MEN GOOD FLYERS
(By Associated Press.)

London, April 16.-The fact that
only young men capable of passing
severe physical tests were accepted
for aviation work during the war
has caused the belief that flying as
a sport will be barred to persons past
the prime of youth. That is a mis-
take according to British experts,
who say that for ordinary peaee-time
flying there should be no age limit.
The only qualifications they set are
good eyesight and a sound heart.
Flying an airplaue II Is pointed
out, is much simpler. and far less
nerve-racking than driving an auto
mobile or sailing a yacht. Amy man
who has lived decent open-air life,
especially II he has played games and
hunted. will find that learning to fly,
even at the age of fifty, Is quite an
easy business, experts says. A mod
ern airplane will virtually fly itself,
and the controls are so arranged
that a man, even on his first trip, II
is argued. does the right thing in-
stinctively.

mean much to both terminal cities
and be the means of linking the west

one OF the few remaining large tracts
of Everglades lands, they contracted
to begin the building of this railroad

London, April 16.-Replying in the
House Of Commons today to previous
criticisms of his activities at the
peace conference. Lloyd George said
the situation is still full Of perils for
all countries. He pleaded that those
who are trying to do their best should
be let alone, as the time spent by the
conference in framing the League Of
Nations plan saved time instead OF
wasting It," he declard, e"as the
League would provide a means for
the adjustment of possible errors"
"I would rather leave Russia to the
Bolshevik until they see their way
cut, rather than see Great Britain
Handed in bankruptcy" was one dec
laration.
1T is not true that the United
States and Europe have been at vari'
ance," the Premier declared. He de-
precated the attempts to show dis
sension among delegates. The Pre-
lnier said his conviction was tha
military Intervention in Russia would
be the greatest act of stupidity, ant
declared that reliable informal tiol

force apparently is growing, Bolshe
Eikism itself is gradually waning
