THE POWER OF A TEN DOLLAR BILL.
Consider the POWER of a Ten Dollar Bill when it is spent AT HOME. It is like MAGIC. It CIRCU-
LATES, It pays off a HUNDRED obligations. It creates BUSINESS and' puts people to WORK in our communi-
ty. But the ten dollar bill that is sent away to the out-of-town house does NOTHING for OUR town. It be-
comes DEAD to US. It is out of commission forever as far as OUR town is concerned. We NEVER see it again.
Let US, then, give POWER to the money we SPEND. Let us remember that our BEST investment is that
POWER -MONEY that we spend at HOME.

GERMAN DELEGATES AT
VERSAILLES BUY UP SOAP
A despatch from Versailles says: --e
Germany's peace .delegates passed
the best part of their first day here
blaspheming the weather, in common
with other residents in this rainy,
windy, chilly township. The second
preoccupation of most of them, from
Count von lirockdorff-Rantzau down,
was the acquisition of soap. The
barber shops near the three hotels
where the Germans are quartered
were emptied of their stocks of soap
before noon. In search of the pre-
cious substance a party of German
newspaper eorrespondents strolled
far afield. Their appearance excited
adverse comment among the Versail-
les citizens, arid, although the hostile -
display was limited to prolonged hiss-
ing and hooting, M. Houdaille, who
has charge of the police arrange-
ments, gave the indiscreet soap
hunters a severe warning against
roaming beyond the immediate sur-
roundings of their billets.
HOLLAND WILL GIVE
UP THE EX -KAISER
A despatch from Amsterdam
says: -The Dutch newspapers, ex-
cepting one thus far have not com-
mented"on the proposal to try former
Emperor William of Germany, The
exception is the Telegraaf, which in
an editorial, says the extradition of
the one-time Emperor will not con-
flict with Holland's national right of
sanctuary,
"The ex-ICaiser," says the news-
paper, "would not be prosecuted
because of his intention to place
Deutschland Tiber Allies, but on ac-
count of actions which plunged the
world into misery and a repetition of
which would be contrary to the vital
interests of the Dutch people."
GERMAN UNDERSEAS
CABLES ARE SPOILS OF WAR
A despatch from Paris says: -Da-
vid Lloyd George, Premier Clemen-
ceau and President Wilson have set-
tled the question of the German
underseas cables. Tho decision was
reached that the cables were spoils
of war and belong to those powers
which took possession of them.

TWO BILLION FRANCS
TO GO TO BELGIUM
A despatch from Paris says: -The
Belgians have asked the Council of
Three for a first advance of two
billion francs on their share of the
German indemnity, according to
French circles, and it appears that
they have received definite and sat-
isfactory assurances.
CANADA BARS
"UNDESIRABLES"
Order -in -Council Prohibits Im-
migration of Doukhobors,, Men-
•nanites and Hutterites.
A despatch from Ottawa says
Until further order, immigration of
1 Doukhobors, Hutterites and Mennon:
rtes is prohibited. An order -in -coun-
cil to this effect was signed by the
Governor-General on Thursday. It
was passed under the provisions of
the existing Immigration Act which
'gives authority to this end.
The order recites that "owing to
conditions prevailing, as a result of
the war, a widespread feeling exists'
throughout the Dominion, and more
particularly in western Canada, that
steps should be taken to prevent the
entry into Canada of all persons who.
may be regarded as undesirables be-
cause, owing to their peculiar cus-
tom", habits, modes of living and.
methods" of holding property, they
are not likely to become readily as-
similated or to assume the duties
and responsibilities of Canadian
citizenship within a reasonable
t•hne."
The order adds that numerous re-
presentations have been received that
Doukhobors, Hutterites and Mennon-
ites are of this class and character.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT ON
LIFE OF CLEMENCEAU
Paris, May 4; Another attempt
against Premier Clemenceau appar-
ently has been frustrated by the ar-
rest of a nineteen -year-old youth who
was seized near the entrance of M.
Clemenceau's home. The youth, whose
name is Cornillon, was carrying a
stiletto and had in his possession
Anarchist literature. He declared
that he did not want to kill the
Premier, but desired only to make a
"gesture."
Cornillon was acquainted with Em-
ile Cottin, who recently shot M.
Clemenceau. He met Cottin in 1018
in some of the studios in Paris. Corn-
illon hails from Venay.

FRENCH ACE FONCK
C A% ION OF MR
Canadian Aviator, Lieut. -.Col.
Wan. Bishop, Comes Second.
London, Kay 4. -The Air. Ministry
'has decided that so"far as can be as-
certained the champion British air-
man of the war was the late Major
Edward Mannock. Lieut. -Col, Wil-
liar_i A. Bishop, the Canadian aviator,
who won the Victoria Cross, comes
next. Major hiannock brought down
73 enemy machines and Lieut -Col.
Bishop '72. Of all the allies, Lieuten-
ant Rene Fonek, the French ace, holds
'the record with 78.
The late Baron Richthofen, of Ger-
man circus fame, claimed to hold the
world's record for the number of ma-
chines he had destroyed, but the Ger-
mans worked on a different system
respecting official confirmation of
'each .victory, and his record has not
been confirmed.
Major Mannock was born •in India
of Brtish parents, thirty years ago,
and was considered the greatest aer-
ial tactician the Royal Air Force pro-
duced. Among his awards was the
War Medal of the Aero Club of Am-
erica. He was finally shot down by
fire from the ground.
GERMAN SHIPeTO BE
DISTRIBUTED AMONG ALLIES
A despatch from Paris says: -The
German fleet is not to be destroyed,
but it -will be distributed. Final de-
cision has just been reached on this
point. Great Britain, which at first
was inclined to oppose the plan for
the elimination of the German craft
as. war machines, shifted its position
and came to the support of France
and Italy, which had desired the par-
tition of the craft among the allies.
The American peace delegation op-
posed the plan of destruction from
the first.
STATUS OF KIEL CANAL
HAS BEEN FINALLY SETTLED
A'despatch from Paris says: -The
Council of Three to -day settled the
status of the Kiel Canal, Germany

national control.
May Be Another Week Yet
Before Germans Get Treaty
London, May 4. -It is not improb-
able that the peace treaty will not be
ready for presentation to the Ger-
mapas before the end of the week,
says Reuter's Paris correspondent,
owing to the fact that several ques-
tions remain unsettled and also be-
cause the actual writing of the docu-
ment is taking more time than had
been anticipated.

Soldiers From Dominions,.

ham Palace, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and Newfound-
land were represented among the
troops. Every arm of the overseas

overhead.

army, with his Staff, including Prince
Arthur of Connaught, headed the pro-
cession. Each unit was headed by
Commanding Officers and their staffs.
The parade was one of the many de-
monstrations designed to announce

STILL DELAYED
Mid -Ocean Winds Still Unfavor-
able to Waiting Airmen
St. John's, Nfld., May 4. -Harry •G.
Hawker'and Capt. Frederick P. Rayn-
ham, the British aviators contending
for first • /loners in a transatlantic
flight to the Irish coast, were com-
pelled to postpone their "hop off"
again to -day when meteorological re-
ports from mid -ocean, in face of per-
fect flying conditions here, once more
showed adverse winds and- weather
far at sea.
Official prediction of rain for Eng-
land for the next two days was re-
ceived here, and is accepted as indi-
cating a delay of more than forty-
eight hours.
The inauguration of daylight sav-
ing in Newfoundland to -night, when
clocks will be set ahead an hour
throughout the country, brought a re-
vision of calculations for the flight,
although it has not seriously altered
plans.
