Shall No Longer Be Used Except For Commercial Purposes
-Aeronautic Commission to be Sent to Germany.
A despatch from Deals says:-!
The aerial terms of the German dia.;
armament as adopted by the Supreme;
War Council provide that airplanes `•
and dirigibles shall no longer be used;
for military purposes. The Council
concluded t.heAt it was net feasible to
prohibit airplanes for commercial,
uses. The drafting committee was,.
directed to make clear the distinebion
excepting commercial airplanes in'
the terms incorporated in the peaee
terms.
All forine of military airplanes are
barred to Germany, the only excep-
tion being the temporary use until
October 1 of 100 hydro -airplanes and.
1,000 men in gathering mines in the
North Sea;
The Havas Agency =ays: "Ger-
many mast deliver all airplanes to
the allies and must prohibit the con-
struction of other airplanes until the
conclusion of peace, the Supreme
War Council decided. The terms do
not decide the future fate of the air-
planes 'which may either be destroy-
ed or divided among the allies. The
British and American delegates
brought up the 'imestioan of a distinc-
tion bewe'en commercial 'aerial navi-
gation, which will be authorized for
Germany after conclusion of peace
'under certain guarantees and mili-
tary aerial navigation which will be
prohibited,
"The Council decided to send an
aeronautic commission to Germany
to investigate the question of com-
mercial aerial navigation. Deputy
Aubigny, of the French Chamber,
will be chairman,"

UNHAPPY OUT OF KHAKI -MISS
COMPANIONSHIP OF ARMY,
Large War Bonus Offered Is One or
the Chief Incentives -Lack of
Jobs influenced Others.
t Thousands o,f the British army who
d 1'oeently becalm so war weary that
they openly threatened mutiny unless Mill-
i they were soon discharged have ed abc;,ut face and are volunteering
for the new army, according to the
military authorities of Great Britain,
who assert thee they are satisfied that
there will be littlo difficulty in scour,
mg the 900,000 nen who will do Great
t Britain's share in safeguarding the
- peace the Allies shave won.
e The causes 88,3d to havo sent the
men flocking back to the colors are
the unexpectedly large .war bonus of-
fered to men who "take on" oils tie
acute industrial situatirui, The fist
factor has been of pl;.line importance
in the case of boys from eighteen to
twenty-one who have been two or
more years already in the army and
who have no trade to fall back upon
in civilian life. in the new army they
will be fed, clothed and sheltered, and
draw a minimum of about 35 a • week
as pocket money. , They have quickly
awakened to the realization that there
is no such prospect awaiting thein on
a return to "civvies."
Prefer Army to Civil Life.
The industrial upheaval plays the
main part in the decision of the older
men. In the first rush for demobiliza-
tion no man was permitted to go who
had not a definite offer of employ-
ment; The government did all in its
power to make certain that such of -
fors were bona fide, but in spite of
every precaution thousands of men
got their release on bogus papers.
These nic+u soon found themselves in
an unenviable position. They could
not, get 'a ort and they faced some very
uncomfortable inquiries if they ap-
plied for the out -of -work pay provided
for those who are idle through no
fault of their own. The recruiting
sergeant was an easy road out of their
troubles, and that astute individual,
who draws` a bonus for each recruit,
was not blind to his opportunities. •
A third factor of minor but real is
portance is the fact that numbers of'
nien who have been home on liberal
leave since the armistice was signed
have discovered that they are not
nearly so happy out of khaki as thee -
imagined they would he. They frank-
ly admit they miss the companionship -
of the army, the lack of responsibility
and the easy hours. Now that the war''
is over the army is resting on its
laurels, and in the great camps around
England "work" is confined to one
Hour's parade a day, with football
games, paper chase and other sports
to fill in the remainder of the time.
That is a considerable contrast to
eight or nine hours of monotonous
toil in a shop or factory.
The army authorities have not so
far made public any figures on re-
cruiting. but some indication is offer.
ed by the experience of two battalions
in one of the largest camps in the
sontli of England. In one unit, where
all the men had seen service overseas,
more than 200 re-enlisted iu less than
two weeks. In the other, an "A4" bat
talion, made up of boys under mile
tary age, more than 300 took the oath
in the same period, a large number for
the regulation period of twelve years.

SUB OUTRAGES REACT ON HUN
Enemy to Blame for Lack of Vessels
to Distribute Food.
Control of the German ship's is
a necessary condition to the feeding
of the German people and the Ger-
mans havo made that situation, de-
clares the Westminster Gazette in
discussing the b:eak in the shipping
negotiations at Spa.,
"Again and again during the last
taro. years," the paper adds, "it has
been pointed out to them that the
destruction of merchant tonnage by
their ruthless submarine warfafe
would produce a situation lin which
it might be totally impossible to sup-
ply Germany; herself with the food
and raw materials which she would
need when the war ended. This is
the often •predicted nemesis of 'ruth-
less submarine warfare.'
"If the Allies are unable from lack
of tonnage to send sufficient coal and
food to their friends, the use of Ger-
man tonnage will enable them to do
justice to their friends and at the
same time providte for their enemies,
but we are obliged to tell the Ger-
mans that this is the only way and if
it seemis harsh and repugnant they
have themselves to thank for it."
The stand taken by the German
representatives at Spa in refusing to
deliver German merchant ships is
commented upon by the newspapers
as an attempt to blackmail the Al-
lies, says a Paris despatch. The
newspapers say that the incident
most be regarded very calmly.
The Homme Libre, the organ of
Premier Clernence.au, rays that 'such
attempts at resistance will prove fu-
tile, "Premier Lloyd George having
demonstrated that the Allied govern-
ments will be still more exacting
than the miitary experts in regard to
disarmament."
The Matin says: --"Germany for-
gets too easily that she is vanquish-
ed. The sole result of this incident
will be that the reviictualling of Ger-
many will now depend en the accept-
ance by Germany of all conditions of
the new armistice,"
Canadian Red Cross Arisist
Starving Prisoners in Siberia
A despatch from Vladivostok
says: -The desperate condition of
enemy prisoners and returned Rus-
sian prisoners in Siberia is now oc-
cupying the attention of the British
and Canadian authorities and pro-
posals aro now under consideration
by which the Canadian Red Cross
would 'assume charge of the situation.
Five carloads of supplies have al-
ready been shipped for the poisoners,
but immense operations are neces-
sary to relieve 200,000 enemy prison-
ers and 800,000 returning Russians.
The British Red '•• Cross unit in
Siberia has been demobilized and the
Canadians are carrying on the work.
Tunnel Under Berrin.g Strait
Canada to London by Rail
A despatch from London says: -
The Daily Gra,phdc, in publ,i•shin.g
further details of the Channel tunnel
echemte, says dt includes the construc-
tion of a tunnel from the Asiatic
side under hoeing Strait, where
there is already a railway to Cape
Prince of Wales, near Daween. City,
Alaska, which would enable a pas-
senger to make a through railway
journey -from London to Canada, the

A certain clergyman who passes
much time in France and England
during the war, picked up this story:
Queen Mary was visiting wounded
soldiers in a hospital in London. She
stopped beside the bed of one Tommy
Atkins and asked hint in what battle
he was wounded.
"At Wypers," said he,
"Ypres," said the Queen.
"I was struck down just as we were
nearin' Wypers," said the soldier,
-"Ypres," said the Queen.
"I lay on the ground until I saw
oomin'• out of Wypers"--
"Ypres," said the Queen.
"What did the Queen say to you?"
asked acompanion a few hours, 'later.
