MELINE'i PROPOSITION IS
FOR WASTE LAND NOW

PARIS, July 6.-The proposition of
NJ. Meline, Minister of Agriculture, to
effect cultivation of abandoned land
by the civilian population has been
extended to the army. Wherever there
is uncultivated land in the proximity
of garrisons or camps of troops, the
auXiliaries and territorials not con-
tinually on other service are detailed
for several hours work each day in
market gardening, The products are
either to be sold for the combined
profit of the soldiers working the
land and the owners or consumed by
the troops Civilians will not be al
lowed to draw any profit whatever
from this exploitation.
Among the civilian groups will be
organized similar to the workingmen's
gardening societies that existed be-
fore the war, to work all lands aband-
oned by their proprietors 10 the neigh
borhood of towns. These will be CO.
operative and the products as well as
the expense divided equally among

kind Of air torpedo.

Despite the huge bulk the ship gives
the impression of fish-like slender
ness. The steering gear form an exact
cross. The motors are 100000
horse power, able to give the airship
speed of 80 kilometers an hour. To
avoid breakdowns, the motors are 10
double number. The crew is said to
be about 80 or 40 men. The ship can
reach a height of three to four miles.
