OUTLOOK FOR ROAD MAKING
Rsther Dubious on Account of Short
age Of Labor-Decided Reforms
Should Be Made.

With the shortage Of labor for road
making and the more general use Of
the roads for heavy hauling, it is like
ly that the roads us they exist will not
he able to withstand the hard usage,
and the outlook is dubious for the au-
tomobile. Many industrial companies
are making use Of fleets of trucks to
deliver their goods, instead of subject
ing themselves to the uncertainties Of
the railroad service and the wear and
tear on the roads thus made use of is
more than they can take care of. This,
more than ever, makes it evident that
there should be some very decided re-
forms made in the matter of road
building The makeshift repairs which
have heretofore been made are not
now sufficient, and all new road-build-
ing work should be made on the most
substantial lines.

ENGLAND DemObiliZes
Her War Pigeons

London, June 4.-Demobilization Of
English war pigeons and men who
care for them in France has taken
place, with the exception Of birds
and men selected for the Army Of
Occupation. About 10000 birds that
had served their country faithfully
were sold in France and Belgium
and the proceeds of sale divided a.
mong charitable institutions Of those
countries and England in accordance
with the wish Of the breeders who
had donated the pigeons to the Bri-
tish army.
Many man owes his life to the
rapid fight of pigeon from brok-
en-down sea-plane. In the battle of
Messines 1000 pigeons were used to
carry messages, not single one Of
which went astray.
The German pigeon service was
very thorough. A Birmingham med
al maker initiated so perfectly a mes
sage-container devised by the enemy
that it was possible to send a mum
ber of "dud" messages to German
lofts with their own captured birds

Secretary Daniels says. a The sea-
plane will be disassembled and ship
ped to this country: .
The Secretary said the Navy con-

for the present and that the NC-4

In interest of Science.
The NC-4 flight was purely in the
interest of aerial science, he said.
"After we haf compiled the data
gathered during this flight, been
made confident by our mistakes and
reconstructed ours planes to conform
with the lesson We have learned, it
then will be time TO begin consider
ing further experiment in trans-At-
lantic flying"
Asked if the crew of the NC boats
would go to Paris, Secretary Daniels
said they would go if: President Will
son or Admiral Benson sent for them
Experiments are being conducted
with the c.. type of lighter-than-ail
flying craft, and it is possible that
when the next attempt at a trans.

h On the first acts of the new COVE
ernment was to appoint commits
sion to make recommendations for
reform in land owning. The commits
sion now has reported recommend
ing that the great estates should be
bought by the state and that no land
owners should be allowed to hold
more than about 625 acres. The
question as to what amount the state
should pay these land owners for the
land it appropriated in this compul-
sorry fashion has caused serious diff
ferences of opinion. All but. few

should be paid for. President Mar

to the land owners while Premier
Kramarz, who was always been i'd
entitled with the Czech Conservatives,
intervenes in behalf of the land own
ers by insisting that they should be
allowed to hold up to 1000 acros. +
