Cardinal Gibbons Gives
Ideas on Ending Of War

Baltimore, Dec. 25. - Cardinal Glib
bons responding to an inquiry today as
to what he believed the most essential
thing to be done to end the war, issued
this statement.
Il believe that the best way to end
the war early in the coming year is
for the central powers to make a defi-
mite proposition, and one that will en-
brace all their aims and demands.
II think that all Americans should
put themselves In IA position to sympa-
thetically receive and consider any Of
fer embodying fundamental concessions
that would commend themselves to the
allies. and to ponder over these propo-
sitions in dispassionate and broad
minded way"

FARM LAND VALUES.

1t is declared that, according to
census figures, only about half the
farm lands in the United States is in
cultivation, the other half being rep
resented by the vast tracts used for
grazing or otherwise not employed
in the raising of food. According to
the census figures, practically one
fifth of the farm lands in the United
States was in tracts of 1000 acres
or more and one-tenth in tracts of
between 500 and 1000 acres. The re-
cent United Statse commission on in
dustrial relations reported officially
that more than one-fourth of the
areas of large holdings is being kept
our of actual use by their $4,000
owners, while 2,25O,OOO farmers are
struggling for a bare existence on
farms of less than fifty acres. Last
year the department of agriculture
reported that the average value Of
farm lands, exclusive of improve
ments, was as follows: In the North
Atlantic states, $31.71; in the South
Atlantic states, $23.79; in the North
Central states, east of the Mississippi
river, S74.95; in the North Central
states west of the Mississippi river,
$59.68; in the South Central states,
$24.09; and in the Far Western
states, $58.4O. In the United States
as whole, the average value per
acre was $45.55. The statement was
made that that tax of 5 per cent
on the farm lands of the nation
would raise 100000, more
than enough to float the entire Liber-
ty loan.
Whether any tax will be placed
upon unused farm lands or upon
farm lands in general which will
force the idle land to get busy re-
mains to be seen. 1t is clear that the
situation with respect to these lands
has very close connection with both
the scarcity of foodstuffs, with re-
sultant high prices, and with the po-
tential productiveness of the country
along this line-both having very
vital relation to the conditions con-
fronting the country by raeson of the
war.-Kansas City Journal.
