eral authorities.
1t is announced in recent press
dispatch that Secretary Lane has
submitted to the senate public lands
committee an adverse report on bills
tn amend the homestead law so that
improvements placed upon the land
may be accepted as a consideration
for patent in lieu of cultivation.
Senator Bora's bill provides for i'm
movements to the value of $3.50
ner acre, and Senator Myers bill
snecifies the improvements at $3.50.
for homestead entry of 100 acres.
The secretary is strongly of the
oninion that the cultivation clause
should be preserved intact, and he
noints to that provision in the law
which permits him, on proper
showing of facts, to reduce the
amount of cultivation required of
any homesteader
~ am of the opinion" says Secre-
tarv Lane, in report on the Myers
bill. chat the burdens on the poor
Int deserving homesteader would be
unreasonably increased by such lie :
;slation, for many of them are not
able to expend $50 wear on land
entered ny lH6il ~ 10 OOAAOVO0 SUA
tiyation constitutes the best evi
dence of the entryman's good faith.
The secretary of agriculture, also
is opposed to the Myers bill. IF the
law is amended as proposed" he
saws, 'it would be possible for a
claimant to obtain title without do
ing any cultivation whatever. The
mere removal of part of the tim
her for sale might easily cost $3.50.
It has been the experience of this
department that where the public
land laws require claimants to make
expenditures in certain amount,
difficulty is frequently experienced
in establishing the value OF the i'm
provements made.
1T is appreciated that in few
instances homesteaders have some
difficulty in placing under cultiva-
ton the amount of land required
by the three year homestead law.
These cases are exceptional. 1t is
the belief of this department that
generally speaking, an entryman
seeking to establish an agricultural
home. and not simply to acquire IL
tie to land, will be able to meet the
requirements of the law as 1t no"
stands"

THE LONG FINGERS.

The National Security League may
be a bona fde organization really
working for what they think is the
best interests of the country in the
after of preparedness. But, some
times, these organizations have other
motives than the best and highest
which prompt their activities in some
sections.
An example of their propaganda,
whatever may be behind it, is the no
tice sent out by them showing their
active interest in the congressional
elections over the nation. They are
several months late in Georgia, but
are doubtless putting in their work
elsewhere. The article is:

TENDENCY TO GIVE PRESIDENT
VALDES LOYAL SUPPORT Now

PANAMA, Oct. 23-Following the in
augueration of President Valdes on
October / the contest over his election,
in which the opposition endeavored to
the last to prevent his acceptance by
the United States government, appears
finally to have melted away There is,
indeed, a general feeling of relief that
it is all over and there is a very gen.
eral tendency to give the new president
loyal support.
President Valdes has informed the
American Minister that he intends tc
push the investigation of the treasury
and customs scandal to a finish. He
appears also to be in sympathy with
the Minister'S suggestion that it is i'm,
portant to have a better system o.
accounting throughout the government
but he has not expressed any willing
ness to have an outsider appointed Il
take charge of this work and to act a.
either fiscal adviser or auditor witt
plenipotentiary powers, as urged b,
the State Department.

NEGROES GOING NORTH.

Official information is to the effect
that the migration of negro laborers
from the South to the North is unpre-
cedented. The situation has been oc-
casioned by the scarcity of immigrant
labor and the unparalleled activity in
all lines of business in the North AMI
East, and the high salaries in those
sections is proving attractive.-Au-
gusta Chronicle.
Yes, and some of the large number
which left Americas are now return
ing; others want to return-and some
are sick, according to reports, AMI
want the people at home to furnish
the money for their return transpor-
tation. The large majority of the ne
groes leaving had their expenses paid
to the North and felt assured of at
tractive prices for their labor-and
now they find it all dream and re-
mote from reality The South owes
them nothing for return trip, and
should only assist those who have kept
the faith of the people and are pros
pering here.
The following timely comment on
the movement is from the Cuthbe1t
Leader:
Eight or ten more Cuthbert negroes
left on Sunday for the North, lured
by the offer of plenty of work at good
wages. Cuthbert could spare some OF
her colored population but It's said
the ones we would like to get rid OF
are still here, while the better class
is leaving this section. Many negroe;
have gone recently from here to Con
! necticut, New Jersey and other North
ern states '-Americus Times Re

WANTS POT OF COLD
To HOLD OFF WARS

ZURICH, Switzerland, Oct. 23.-Dr
Oscar Busch, Swiss international law
yer Of note, has most ingenious sug-
gestion for securing permanent peace
in the world after this war. He would
have every nation deposit a big
amount of gold in an international
fund, this bond to be forfeited by a
government breaking the peace. DR..
busch, explaining his plan said:
Zone of the principal obstacles
which prevent an early peace is the
fact that the faith in the binding
power of international treaties has
been badly shaken during the present
war.
All of the belligerent nations have
treated the existing treaties as scraps
Of paper and they know that new
international agreements will be
broken without a moments hesitation
as soon as they conflict with the iu-
terests and aspirations of one nation
or another.
Lasting peace is only possible If
the civilized nations can be united in
to a Peace Trust under the leader
ship of the states which have kept out
OF the present war Every nation
joining this trust would have to make
a certain deposit in gold, as a guar
aDtee of its good faith. Five or ten
dollars per head of the population
would probably be sufficient.
THE gold trust-fund thus created
would have to be deposited in one or
rore of the neutral countries under
the administration of neutral COM
This commission would is
sue peace notes against the gold
deposited and turn them over to the
1epositors for circulation in their own
Should any nation start a war
an appeal to the Hague Peace
Court, or refuse to obey the decision
# this tribunal, the gold deposited by
t would be confscated and turned
,ver to the attacked country. Thus
he attacker would be punished dou-
'ly, because he would not only lose
lis deposit, but also have to redeem
he notes issued against it.
ITO prevent a fall in value of the
,old deposits, it would become neces-
airy to regulate the gold production
Internationally Should any country
Iecome so rich in gold that it would
lot feel the loss of few hundred mil
ion dollars seriously, its deposit
Fould have to be increased proper
THE Peace Trust is not an idle
ream, but a very practical proposi-
ion to bring the world out of the
resent maelstrom of slaughter and
destruction"

LET PREMIER MAKE
4 GREAT SPEECH

PARIS, Oct. 23.-Pierre Brizon, the
Socialist Deputy who recently called
war" and gave the Premier occasion
to deliver in the Chamber one of the
most eloquent speeches of his career,
,, is not taken seriousl in France, but
some portions of the address he deliv-
cred in opposing the war credits are
interesting. He is one of the three
dissident Social Deputies who met a
number of German Socialists during
the war in conference in Switzerland
In the course of his attempt in the
Chamber to arrive at a calculation of
what the war costs, he said:
How many men shall we have lost
at the end of the war? | have said
that it will last another year still, at
least with the policy OF Monsieur
BRAND. Supposing that, at the end of
the war, France has a million and
half of men killed. Going back to our
calculation of the value of their work
and taking an average of So years of
effective labor for each man, we reach
the sum of 100000 francs for each in
dividual. Multiply 100000 by million
and a half, and you obtain $50 million
francs at the economic value of the
Frenchmen who will have been killed
during the war.
Figures Touching Cost of War.
. Thus we have three figures; sol
billions and more public expenditures
at the present time; in year more 80
billions more, making a total of sol
billions for public expenditures. Let
us estimate five billion for the repara-
ton of war damages, making IS bill
lions, to which we must add our old
debt, that we are too likely to forget
IN these days, of 80 billions. which
makes lis billions. There is the gulf
that is to be filed in actual cash, which
when added to the 100 billions of econ
Omic loss, brings the cost of the war
up to 315 to 800 billions of France"
War is a business, cried Monsieur
Brizon at his point, provoking excla-
nations from all parts of the Cham
Der.
YES in the capitalstic period in
which we have lived for a century
past, war, colonial wars, and the pres
ent war is nothing but business.
Now business is treated in a bus
ness way, intelligently, prudently,
yith clear eyesight upon the future In
stead of giving the blood of his coun-
Try, if Monsieur BRAND could obtain
the result that we wish to attain-vic-
tory, according to you, or national in

or through Intermediates,
we can, and We ought, to negotiate. Be-
fore having arrived at absolute, posi-
tive proof that any peaceful solution is
impossible, we have not the right to
