A STATES EAST

Weather is Unusual But No
Aerial Records Have
S Been Broken.

Washington, April 25.-A general
cold wave with snow fiurries and
freezing temperatures prevailed today
over nearly all of the territory east of
the Mississippi river.
Although no April records were
broken so far as reports received here
Indicated, the cold. was unusua and
will lot begin to shade off before to-
morrow and Sunday. In Ontario the
temperature this morning was ten
above zero and 20 above in a number
OF places in New York state. Much
crop damage was predicted although
high winds last night saved early
crops from greater destruction. .
In looking over his map today the
weather man said it was entirely too
cold for baseball, especially as the
wind still was high and rather in
clined to show that it was trying to
reach Yesterdays mark of 40 or SO
miles. Many cities in the south re-
ported that it was more like football

cold, however, will not reach Florida.
It will be somewhat warmer tomor-

ley. The temperature is moderating
throughout the northwest, but even
there the readings are still below the

HOMESTEADS

Ottawa, April 25.-Among the
amendments to the dominion land act
which are being considered by the
government is M which If adopted
will put an end to. the present system
of free homesteads and substitute in
itsN place a plan under which land
may be purchased at a nominal free,
probably about So an acre.
Under the new plan residential re-
strictions will be abolished and cult

place. -.

others are being considered by the
government developed when Arthur
Meighen, minister of the Interior at a
conference here with western mem

The average man taking up a
homestead. he said, has little capital.
and the requirements as to residence

troops from the Baltic regions and
Lithuania.
They also consider as opnortune
the measures decided upon by the
German government for that purpose.
But when the German government
contends that the action they have
taken must absolve them from the
charge of having neglected to fulfill
their honorable obligations under the
armistice il is necessary to point out
that the orders of the German gov
