Paris, April 21.-The big four met

claims with President Wilson absent.

her demands on the pact of London,

Settlement of the Italian claims
which held the attention of the "big

stated unofficially to have threatened
the entire peace settlement by with
drawing from the conference and hold

This stand is said to have been met
by a counter threat to exert economic

Paris, April 21.-(United Press)
Exile was reported today to
have been agreed upon by the
"big four" recently as the punish
nent to be meted out to Wilhelm
HohenzolIern. This is said to have
been decided upon unanimously.
AS result, it is understood, an
effort will be made to bring tho
former kaiser before an interna-
tional tribunal, to be tried for the
political offense of violating Bel
sian neutrality, rather than at
tempting to estradite him from
Holland for criminal offenses
committed against Belgium. In
case he is convicted, il was said to
have been agreed that exile, SINH
lar to that Of Napoleon, will be
the proper punishment.

The attitude Of the Japanese. how
ever, was based on their belief that

to be infallible because Of divine

as at least partially meeting Japanese
objections, since Wilhelm could take

worker is so close that it Is impossible to separate the two. Of course, there are other factors which enter into the question and industrial concerns have been trying to answer these by pro- noting in various ways the welfare or their employees. For instance, here Is what the Norton Company, of Wor- cester. Mass, which has been encour- aging home food production and gar dening among it's men. says on this important subject: f.
 A Great Success
 "The Norton gardening activities are no longer an experiment. On the con trary. they are quite qualified suc- cess. and the Norton Agricultural So- ciety is looked upon by the company and it's employees as @ permanent in stitution. Many who have never handled the spading fork and the hoe arc becoming enthusiastic amateur gardeners. Many of the latter through interest and study and the wholesome rivalry among the members of the society, are fast developing into skill full farmers able to reap increasingly profitable harvests.
 Far from turning good workman into poor farmer, one or the most important results Of the Norton gar den activities has been the making of good workmen into better workmen. The procession of men who at the end of a summer afternoon in the shop tramp over the hill to enjoy an hour of vigorous exercise out-of-doors' Is matched the following morning by the returning ranks or clear-eyed, VIZ orous men ready to engage with equal enthusiasm In the regular vocational

work which they have chosen. The harvest time which brings to the man the tangible evidence of what intel ligent effort. persistence and industry will produce in the garden, gives him a clear realization that the exercise of the same qualities in the shop is as certain to bring its reward. Better still, as the officers of the company and it's men busy thems elves In their gardens side by side, there arises the spirit of comradeship as among all who embark together on some great adventure"
 The world has just completed one "great adventure" in which hundreds of thousands of men from all walks of life, the rich mans son and the poor mans son. the heads of big concerns and the men who worked under them, gave their lives that liberty. truth and justice might prevail. The world has now entered upon another great ad- venture"--that of restoring the nations to their former prosperity and happi- ness, binding up the wounds of com merce and industry which have been made and giving the worker and the returning soldier his proper share of return for the labor he performs.
 Better WOrkmcn
 Making good workmen' into "bet- ter workmen!" That is one of the aims that is sought. Get the workman settled on the land, even if it Is only a small patch; get him to cultivating a piece of ground or a garden, either at his own home or in a community tract provided for a group of workers. There is nothing that tends so much to give him a feeling of contentment and satisfaction with his work and his

 Big industrial concerns all over the county have been helping their em- ployeg through welfare interest" de- partmlents and similar methods to be- come better workmen and at the same time better citizens. One of the means which is being employed in connection with this mutual betterment plan is to have the men buy their own homes. It is with a real sense of pride that the workman says: "rhis is my home. p It gives him pride in him. self. in his work and In his com munitK.
 The organizations. therefore, which are encouraging this year the "own a home" campaign are rendering a lasting service to the country. The more people there are in the United States who are the actual possessors of theEr own homes, the better will 1t be for the industrial progress, the civic improvement and the political advertisement of the nation. Democ- r~cy will be furthered by this pro- gram.

SurTOunulHBS.
 The National Federation of Con- struction Industries which in contunc- ton with many other national and local organizations is now conducting nationwide own-a-home campaign. is emphasizing as one of the attractive features the opportunity for garden ing. This Is "back-to-the-land move ment," which means more to the fu- ture welfare of the country than any other ever attempted. There have been many plans tried to keep the rural population on the land and to get city dwellers to move out into the country: but little has been accom- plished and the exodus toward the cities has continued.
 In providing for their workers conn fortable homes with opportunities for gardening. the industrial concerns seem to have hit on the right solu- tion of the problem. which even before the war was becoming exceedingly serious, and which with the return of hundreds of thousands of soldiers looking for work and for chance to make a good, clean living Is greatly enhanced. If these men are given the chance to locate in some place where they will have employment at fair wage and with the further opportunity to help themselves by the cultivation of a little piece of ground, they VIII be satisfied and contented and the ls- bor problems which loom so seriously on the future horizon as a result or Bolshevist disturbances abroad in which the leaders would like also to embroil this and other countries. will have vanished like mountain fog be- fore the morning sun.

They will be partners in the farm enterprise, bene- fit by it's progress and share in the profits. It is felt that this will give them real interest in the work and in whatever other industry they are engaged in while not working on the farm. It will help to put men on the land. and will add to food production. The workers will be raising at least part of their own food and at the same time increasing the nations supply and thus helping workers elsewhere indirectly.

 Great Britain At Work
 Ambitious plans along this line are being worked out in Gre at Britain. This is in connection with the replace ment of the men who have been in the Service of their country and who are now ready to go back to work at their former occupations or whatever new positions may be open from them. In order to help them get established once more and be happy, contented and prosperous in their civil life once more, there Is a plan afoot in England which may be modified in some of it's details. which will settle m any of the former service men on the land in large numbers. This will be partly garden or farm land an acre or so in extent. This will give the men an opportunity to earn their living by work Ing in the neighboring town or by tilling the land which they occupy, or by a combine ton of both. On the land which is furnished them they will be able to have a good-sized garden to supply their own needs and at the same time raise some vegetables and other prod ucts for sale if they desire. On the land they will have room also for keeping some poultry and pigs and for fruit growing. In addition the plan which is being advocated In England also calls for farms for these returned men. Each farm will be under the care of a manager and will be culti-
