Though it did not come up for ac- tipn at the last session of congress, the idea of providing farm land for the re- turning soldiers and sailors as adve- cated by Secretary of the Interior Lane has not by any means been abandoned. As the result of the failure to reacn the measurc more thought has been given to it and when it comes up in the next session, as it surely will, it 11 be presented along different lines and call for a lorger apprppriation. The revised plan is 107 alot plots containing 80 acres, with 20 acr cleared for grazing, 20 acres prepare for seeding, the other 40 acres o0 be cleared by the occapant. who will haye a house and barn bailt for him.

With an alleged shortage of 700,000 automobiles in this country with which to fiil orders, it is quite evident that some industries are going to have plenty of busin for 2 while. If as claimed the railroads of the country are in better operating con- dition than ever, with congestion, cleared up, it would appear to be the very time to see that they were kept busy hauling coal. When General Allenby teils the trou- ble makers in Egypt “I intend to do my duty; it is for you to do yours” they ought to know enough about the man to realize that he usually accom- plishes what he sets out to do. When the Germans hold up their hands in protestation egainst the thoughts of the Poles going into Po- land through Danzig, they fail to con- sider what little impression the pro- tests of the Belgians made upon them. Nothing is more welcomed than the announcement to the effect that one of our largest industries is soon to go from the manufacture of war goods to the production of a staple article widely used and much in demand. It augurs well for future industrial activity. in | the door and shut out the|s FACTS AND COMMENT Nearly three weeks have elapsed since President Wilson arrived in France and the peace treaty that was confidently expected is npwhere in sisht. The chiet stumbiinz. blocks are Fjume, Danzig and the valley of the Saar. Fiume, the important Adri- atic port of Hungary, is demanded by Loth Jugo-Slavs and Itaiiars. The city itself is largely Itaflan but geo- graphically 1t is the ourlat for a great Slavic hinterland and _thvs the new state of JUgo-Slavia deniés the jus- tice of Italy's efaim. A suggested sclution is Ttalian possession with Slavie tradé rights, but no decision hes yet been reached. Danzig on the Baitic sea, earlier a Polish port, has been Prus- sian since 1993, have for 2 chort time daring ‘the Napoleon era. This city is demanded by Poland not only as a just reparaticn of what was once wrested. from her, but also in accord- ance with the thirteenth of President Wilson's fourteen e: s tc a last- ing peace, namely free and secure ac- cess to the sea.
