The "Ex-Soldier" Took Revenge.

LONDON.-The correspondent of
the Express at Evesham says that an
Evesham dairyman. who advertised for
two men to help with q milk round. and
to quote his own explanation ''in q Al OF
temper and without thought" added
the words. NO ex-soldier need ap-
ply" has paid dearly for his lapse.
The advertisement appeared in a
cheltenham newspaper. and the Eve
sham branch of the British Legion
took action, and as a consequence
the dairyman's business was within
two days almost at q standstill.
The sequel came today when he
expressed his regret in the local
newspapers for "the slur on the men
who had fought" adding Il am sell
ing the business to an ex-service man
within q fortnight"
He also posted the apology on his
door and told the legion committee
that he had no grievance against
ex-eervice men.
