SJOLDIERS Secretary Lane Urges Imme- dlate Attention Be Given to " the Sammies Returning From Francu Secretary of the Interior Franklin ,rIv. Lane has taken up the case of the soldier who Vill return from the war 'and the preparation of plans for pro--viding opportunity for them. The .secretary brought the matter to the -ntention of President Wilson a few 'days ago in a letter in which he out Mined the situation. At the close of nthe Civil war the public domain 'offered opportunity to the home re luming soldiers- President Lincoln had signed the' homestead law and ihe nation had farms to offer the mil lion of veterans. While the United - States does not possess the public do main of the sixties and seventies. Sec retary Lane calls - attention to the fact that there are millions of acres vof unde'velooed lands that can be 'made available for home-coming sol diers. In his letter to the president, iie says: : . r''We have arid lands in the west: 1 cut-over lands in the northwest, lake i states . and south ;' -and also swamp lands in the middle west and south, which can be made available through the proper development Much of this land can be made suitable for sfarm homes, if properly handled. But i it will . rquire that each t re of land ht dealt with in its own particular ; fashiom The arid land will require j waterthe cut-over land will require clearing, and the swamp land most be -drained. Without any of these aids, ! they remain largely 'No Man's Land.' rOie solution ot these probiems'is no (new thing- In the admirable achieve ment of the reclamation service in "reclamation 1 and drainage we have Hk&undant proof of what can be done. Conquest of An Empire In the South- ? '"iookine toward the construction jtof additional projects, I am glad to fray that plans and investigations nave een under way for some time. A Purvey ; and ' study has been in the .-course of consummation by the Ke gclamation service, on the great Col orado basin. That great project. ;I Relieve, will appeal.to the new spirit t America.

We must meet the new con ctt'ons of developing lands in advance security must to a degree displace speculation. , The Drift to Farm Tendency ; "There are certain tendencies which ve ought to face frankly in our con ' ideration of a policy for land to the .ome-coming soldier. First, the drift ?3 farm tenancy. - The experience of , :ie world shows without question that i e happiest ; people, the best farms , nd the soundest political conditions are found where the farmer owns the onie und the farm lands. The growth f tenacy in America shows an in rease of 32 per cent ' for r the 20 ears between 1890 end 1910. Second, Jhe drift to orban life. In 1880 of , he total population of the . United t. tates, 29.S -per cent of our people eXie in cities, and 70.5 per cent in the country. At the census' of 1910 36.3 per cent resided in cities and 53.7 er cent remained in theeonnty. It 3s evident that since the war in Eu rope there has been a decided increase in the trend toward the city because t industrial conditions.

Returning veterans win aiso coniriDUie 40 the amelioration of "these two dan per to American life. s i "A plan of land development, where y land is developed in large areas, Subdivided into . individual farms, shen sold to actual bonafide. farmers n a long-time payment basis, has een in force not only in the United States under the reclamation act, but Uso in many other countries for sev ral years. It has proved a-distinct .-. tuccess. : "'"It may be 'said that this country ?"tside of Alaska has no frontier to- j.iy. Of course, Alaska will still offer i opportunity for a pioneer life. And of course Alaska likewise has yet tin .nown remarkable agricultural possi . ulities, but unless we make possible I. he development of this land by the men who desire their life in that 'field, wc will lose a great national op portunity. ' t'Jrges. Immediate Thought on the I . Problem. 8 "This is an immediate duty. It will fle too late to plan for these things kwtien the war is over. Our thought ' iow should be given to the problem. And I, therefore, desire to bring to your mind the w'sdom of immediately upplying the Interior department , vith a sumcient fund with which to ' make the necessary surveys and stud es. We should know by the time the var ends not merely how much arid and can be irrigatea,-tior how much wamp lnd reclaimed, nor where the razing land is and how many cattle t will support, nor how much cut ver land can be cleared, but we bould know with definijeness where t is practicable to begin new irriga rm projects, what the character of e land is, what the nature of the "provements needed will be, and '.at the cost will, be. We should also, not in a general way, but .h particularity, what definite areas ' swamp land may be reclaimed, how y can be drained, what the cost of drainage will be, "what crops they 1 raise. We should have in mind cific areas of grazing landswith : sowledge of the cattle which are t adapted to them, and the prac Zlty of supporting a family upon them. So, too, ; with our cut-over lands. We should know what it would cost to pull or 'blow out' stumps and to put the lands into condition for. a farm home. . U. S. Should Be Ready for Soldiers. "In short, at the conclusion of the war, the United States should be able to say to its returned' soldiers: 'If you wish to go upon a farm, here are a variety of farms of which you may ta4e your pick, which the government h prepared against the time of your returning." I do not mean by this to carry the implication that we should do any other work'tfow than" the work of planning. A very small sum of money put into the hands of men of thought, experience and vision will give us a program which will make ua feel entirely confident that we are not to be submerged industrially or other wise by labor which we will not be able to absorb, or that we would be in a condition where we would show a lack of respect for those who, re turn as heroes, but who will be with out means of immediate self-support. "A million or two dollars, if appro priated now, will put tls work' well under way. H 1 , . ; "This plan does not contemplate anything like charity to the soldier. He is not to be given a bounty. He is not to be made to feel that he is' a dependent On the contrary, he is to continur in a sense in the service of the go';vT ment. Instead of destroy ing our enemies, he is, to develop our resources. " Work to Be Done by Soldier Himself, "The work that is to be done, other than the planning, should be done by the soldier himself. The dam or the irrigation project should be built by him; the canals, the ditches, the breaking of the land and the building of the houses should, under proper direction, be his , occupation, . He should be allowed tS make his own home, cared for while he was doing it, and given an interest in the land for which he can pay. through a long period of years. This same policy can be carried out as to the other classes of land. . So that the soldier on his return would have an opportunity to make a home for himself, to build a home with money which we would advance and which he would repay, and for the repayment we would have an abundant security. The farms should not be, turned over as the prairies were unbroken, unfenced, without accommodations for men or anmals. ' There should be prepared homes, all of wheh can be constructed by the men themselves and paid for by them under a system of simple devising by which modern methods of finance .will be applied to their needs. " - ' - - 1 - , ., "As I have Indicated, this is not a mere Utopian vision. . It is, with slight variations, a poucy wnicn otner coun tries are pursuing successfully. The plan; is simple. T will undertake to present to the cftngress definite, pro ject for the development of- this country through the use of the re turned soldier by which the United States, lending its credit, mav in crease its resources and its population and the happiness of its people with a cost to itself of no more than a few hundred thousand dollars that it will take to study this problem throtiirh competent men.

The speculators and profiteerers, knowing this fact, gather around the market square e"very morn ing and purchase from the truck gar deners their entire stock of fruit and vegetables.

A pushing, scrambling, heaving mass of womn, to the stranger unique even in a city of strange scenes and customs. Scores of them, from the old gray-haired black mammy of "bejor M'war" days to the young white girl in her teeni with evidences. of poverty in her bear ing and attire". J1 any have broods of children around them, others carry babies in their arms. Color runs riot, the bandanna kerchiefs of the negroes and the vari-Colored clothing of all combining to surpass the imagina tion. ' It is the usual Saturday 'morning distribution of five-cent pieces to the poverty stricken, a custom begun in New Orleans many years ago by a lottery company, the old residents say, and still observed weekly as a nec essary rite by at'least two of the larg est business concerns in the city. In the halcyon days; says tradition, the lottery gaveto all comers coins at certain times and on holidays, cheered the hearts of those in financial straits, by doubling the amount. "'t is just one of our hobbies " de clared the head of one of the con cerns, when asked why the firm ob served the custom, "We have done it for years and are going to keep it up. And this in spite of the fact that we belong to the Charity Organiza tion society, which discourages indi vidual giving." Chaos usually precedes the distribu tion of the "jitneys," as the negroes call the coins. 'The money is given away at 8 a. m., but an hour earlier a crowd already is on hand.

The appearance of the cash ier electrifies the crowd. With shouts hands are held in the air, the mass surges forward, each woman intent on being among the first to receive her coin. As each is supplied she leaves the crowd, to make her way to one of the many public markets where she usually purchases "seconds", of various vegetables from the produce dealers, then goes home to prepare dinner. The doling out of coins finally is concluded, the window slams down, for the sum to be distributed has be come exhausted. Many are disap pointed but there is the consolation of looking forward to the coming Saturday. They resolve to be on hand earlier next week. Pathos and disappointment were written plainly on the face of an old negro mammy one recent Saturday as she hobbled down the street, assisted by a battered crutch and a cane.

Seaplane in ',0 Italian Camp, Precarious Tcisl: American Seaplane Training Camp, Italy, Juije 22. A flying day on the beach here, with the roaring1 of the engines of dozens of seaplanes over head, on the water, starting out or returning, with cries of command in tw6 or three languages, presents ' a stirring picture.- . f . ' ; Life and death hang.in the balance every instant. Those in j command are far more apprehensive than they care to show. "You can't make omelettes without breaking egs." they explain, as they watch a ma chine beginning, to nose too - soon preparatory to making a1 landing. "Look at him, he's sure to cut in on that other fellow and bump him," one exclaims. To the uninitiated he two aviators who are trying to. make a landing near the home beach seem to have-hundreds of yards of space in which to maneuver, but the of ficers know they have but little space As the two machines ane traveling at 85 to 90 miles an hour oft their nose dive, the matter of a possible collision is soon settled aad favorably. Both hit the water safely on v their tails the proper way and race across the lake, snorting like a thousand sea horses, .gradually turn, and come home. . ,,, So soon as the camp commander in charge of the beach saw the two machines ta the water safely, his mind turned to other matters. .There is a special instructor who sits with a chart before him with the name of every student flying this day upon it, and he records merit or demerit marks there for every good or bad move the fliers make, and this will be submitted to Jhe commander later and proper observations made to the aviators. . ; . ' , ; "You must be careful in'this busi ness not to discourage the fellows," explained one of the officers. "Their netves are their courage,' their flying ability and if you take a 17 their courage, their confidence, you may spoil a bood aviztor." "Look out there, you'll break those wings," cal'.ed the American com mander as two seaplanes came shoot ing up the beich, too close for com fort. The helpers seized them and dragged them in to a safe landing, "That's one of the troubles with' hav ing too many machines about," ex plained the commander. "When a seaplane starts in for the, beach the aviator cuts off the power and then he can't steer it any longer. When the wind is unfavorable or the water is Tough they have to make several trials sometimes before they can get in head on."
