day on the first leg of their journey
across the Atlantic via Nova Scotia,

starting platform.
Five small seaplanes circled about as

also was in the air. These six craft
were expected TO form an escort for the
journey as far as Montauk Point, where
the trail leads from Long Island.
The sky was gray aud there was a
mist over the water before the planes
started, but a west wind made starting
conditions favorable. Roports irsm the
New England and Nova Scotia coast
also made it desirable to start the flight
today.
Naval officers said ii was expected to
make the flight from here to Halifax

CONVERSION OF TWO

Secretary of the Treasury Carter
Glass few days ago issued circular
authorizing the conversion of two pre-
of Circular 1877, which is the announce
ment authorizing the conversion, in
clude converting per ccntum bonds
of 1932-47 of the First Liberty Loan
converted and a per centum bonds of
1927-42 of the Second Liberty Loan
into A 1-2 per ccntum bonds"
The Secretary of the Treasury sets
out that the period of conversion be-
gins with the date Of the circular,
| March 7, and shall ceaGe upon six
months notice from the Secretary of
the Treasury. 1t is particularly set
out that the circular authorizing the
conversion "does not apply to any con-
version privilege which arose in fav-
or of the IL per centum bonds of
1932-47 of the First Liberty Loan
Conversion shall take place through
the Federal Reserve Banks through
out the country, and each request must
be accompanied by a formal request.
Divested of all the technical phrase
ology, the conversions can be made
under these general rules: .. ~.
/. Registered bonds will be issued
upon conversion of coupon bonds, and
bands will be delivered in a different
denomination or denominations from
the bond or bonds surrendered, if the
appropriate form of request is duly
executed.
2. Coupon bonds will be issued up
on conversion of registered bonds if
the registered bonds presented for
conversion are duly assigned to the
Secretary of the Treasury for con-
version and exchange into coupon
bonds in the presence of an officer du-
ly authorized to witness assignments
of United States registered bonds.
8. Changes of ownership will be
permitted, subject to the provisions of
said Circular No. 1877, upon CONVEX
sions of registered bond if the regis
tered bonds presented for conversion
have been duly assigned for transfer
in the presence of an officer duly au-
thorized to witness assignments of
United States registered bonds.

THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE

AS the United States naval trans
port was about to start from its Ho-
boken pier for France with President
Wilson on his second and final jour
ney to the peace conference, the Pres
ident told newspaper correspondents
sailing with him that he was confident
the people of America would back up
his endeavors to end all war.
The President declared that every
statement made in his New York
speech in support of the League of
Nations and every utterance during
his brief stay at home would be under
stood by the people at large, if not
by certain politicians.
Almost at the moment the President
was expressing the conviction that
the fathers and mothers of the boys
who went to France to rid the world
of the war lord and his cohorts, and
the crusaders themselves, wanted I'M
iversal peace and would not be denied
it, the news was being flashed from a
typical American center that the peo-
pie had spoken.
For on Tuesday there was a special
election in the Twenty-second dis
trict Of Pennsylvania to fill vacancy
in Congress caused by the death of
the sitting member Last November
just four months ago-this district
elected a Republican by a majority
over his Democratic opponent of T.
231. On March the same district
elected Democrat by majority over
his Republican opponent of nearly 500
votes.
"What is the answer" asks the

of, Nations. John Fl. Wilson, the sue
cessful Democrat, went before the
voters, pledged to support the Pres
ident in bringing about the formation
of league upon the lines drafted at
Paris, or as they may be perfected
later. The Republican candidate, on
the other hand, in answering queries
by voters, declared his action on the
league would be governed by the
course Republican leaders decided to
follow.
1.-THE course of the Republican lead
crs had been masle plain by the Lodge

and Westmoreland counties received
the news of the course laid by the Re-
publicans on the day of the election.
They voted with the issue directly be-
fore them, and the result of the bal
loting was therefore a direct and en-
phatic approval of President Wilson's
course and of the League of Nations"
