CYcLONIC AREAS PREVENT
 TRANS FLIGHT

St. Johns, N. F., April 1S.-Cyclonic arear between Newfoundland and Ire- land which are preventing Harry G.. Hawker and Captain Frederick F. Raynham, rival aViators, from start ing their transatlantic aerial race for the S50.000 prize offered by the Lon don Daily Mail. will not move out of the course charted by the fiers for at least two days. according to state ment tonight by Lieutenant l.. J. Clements, Royal Air Force neteorolog- .ist.

 Captain Raynham, the Britisher, who has been able to assemble his Mar tinsyde biplane in the period his Aus tralian competitor has been held up by indictment conditions, annouced today he would ''hop off only when wind and weather offered 'even chances"
 Hawker, who has been growing res- tive with nothing to do but finishing" touches to a machine already found ready to take the air. is so eager to get the jump on his rival that it was said at his camp tonight he was ready to take even longer weather chances than last week.

The only action Of the bureau so far has been to refuse to author ze the sale of revenue staInpa 10 brewers desiring to make beer win this alcoholic cOntent, since resula- tions place at one haH Of per cent the maximum alconCIIe content fof ron intoxicating beverage of any kind.
 By refusing to sell stan the bu- reau inferentially held that con- taining 2 3-4 per cent. alcohol sas ;n- toxicating, but Commissioner ioper has not ruled specifically on this ? f7t since the question was raised seves ai weeks ago by the brewers. Before Ge- ciding finally he has awaited an opin- ion by Attorney General Palmer. This opinion has not yet been prepared by i the attorney general.
 ] The revenue collector at New York probably will have the initiative in any action against the brewers in this case it was said tonight by bureau 1 officials. No official report had been received here on the latest phase of
 the situation.

traffic in the harbor would begin at $ 3, nl.- Sunday. The main point of dis pute is the question of hours. The workers demand a basic eight hour day while the boat owners insist upon a twelve hour day.

 bers as proposed by the unions.

REASONS WHY PUBLIC SHOULD
 SUBSCRIBE TO VICTORY LOAN

Washington, April 1S.-Self interest
 constitutes the principal reason why
 the public should subscribe generous
 ly to the Victory loan. said the federal
 reserve board, in its monthly bulle-
 tin issued today
 If the obligations already taken by
 the banks are not liquidated,'' said the
 bulletin, commenting on the billions of
 treasury certificates of indebtedness
 already absorbed by the banks, the community at large will suffer from a
 continued imitation of banking credit
 and from the high prices that are con- sequent upon the condition of affairs. Only one remedy for the situation now existing can be applied-that. name ly, Of subscribing freely for the gov ernmept obligations when offered and of paying for them out of the proceeds of saving, either already accumulated
 or to be accumulated from time to time.
 Indeed. the urgency for adherence to this policy is greater now than it was during the war. inasmuch as at tEat time there was strict oversight and control on the part of the govern ment over production, distribution, and, in measure, consumption, while at the present that oversight has naturally and properly been greatly re- l faxed or. in many branches of busi- ness entirely abolished.
 The responsibility of saving and | conserving resources thus remains 1 with those who are the recipients of current incomes. either from invest 1 ments or from salaries and wages, in perhaps higher degree than was pre- | viouSly true.''

BOARD OF CANCELLATION
 HEARS LAWRENCE STRIKERS

Boston, April S.--Representatives of the Lawrence textile strikers who ap- peared today before the state board of conciliation and arbitration which is Investigating the trouble at the request of Governor Coolidge. denied that the strike Was a part of Bolshevist movement or was due to any other cause than the desire of the operatives 70 earn living wage. Speakers esti- mated that l5.00O workers were still out in Lawrence.
 A. J. Mustc, a member and former chairman of the strike committee. said that the period of unemployment fol- lowing the signing Of the armistice had wiped out any savings the operatives had been able to accumulate. Sixty three per cent. Of the adult male em- ployes now on strike were paid less than S23 per week. he added.
 Revolutionists. Mr. AIuste said, were rapidly being manufactured in Law renee, principally because of the stand taken by the police and the attitude of repression shown by the city govern ment.
 Asked why the workers struck against an arrangement which proved satisfactory to those in other textile ceutera. Muste said 1t was because Lawrence had the prestige of being a rtrike center. due to the strike in 1912 {: because inc workers were aggressive, and because other places generally look the attitude of putting such mat tlfs up 10 Lawrence on the theory that whatever Lawrence strikers could get would later be given voluntarily to workers iu other sections. The only way to establish better relations, the speaker said would be to permit and sven encourage the workers to organ Ze.

The council met at the White House." the residence in Paris of President Wilson.
 The opinion prevails iu Paris that, with the Italian demands now the re- maining obstacle to a full agreement, the situation is such that President Wilson will be able to sail homeWard in mid May with a signed copy of the peace treaty for submission to con- gross, which in some quarters in Paris it is believed will be called in extra session not later than June 1.
 Little opposition to the peace terms is expected from the Germans, ac- cording to the latest reports in circu- lation i'll Paris as they are declared to be anxious for return to peace con- ditions at the earliest moment possi- ble. It is asserted that there is to f be no German text of the treaty-the document to be issued only in the French and English languages. Although a general strike has been proclaimed in Bremen and the asser- tion has been made that it has been impossible to unload fodstuffs taken there on an American steamship, a German wireless communication as- serts that the unloading of the vesse l is assured. Employes of department stores and speciality shops in Berlin have joined the bank employees strike In Bavaria the situation still remains acute, but few details are available In Vienna there also have been Adis- lturbances. The Bolsheyiki attempted to storm the parliament building but were defeated.
