STATE MAY TAKE
over Land AS
after WAR ACT
France Considering Social
zation of Soil and Building
Garden Cities"

PARIS. Juno II (MaiD.-Nationan-
zation, or state ownership Of land,
decentralization Of the population. and
the replacing Of ruined towns BY
spacious garden Cities" are among
the propositions put forward In the
discussion Of the reconstruction Of
northern France.
The French parliament has adopted
the principle of indemnities In full to
property owners for the amount Of
losses by the war.
This, in the opinion Of advocates OF
these measures gives the state an ex-
cellent opportunity to take over the
land and thus be able to extend on
large scale experiments in the estab-
lishment of garden cities through CO
operative enterprises such as that al
Draveil, in the department Of Seine
and Disc.
500 Families Interested
This cooperative town started IN
1909 with a capital Of twenty thousand
francs; It now has a capital OF 800, 900
francs, in which 800 different families
are interested.
The essential feature of the Draveil
society were the purchase OF land and
construction of buildings on the in.
stallment plan. The state had moth
ing to do with this except by facili-
tating loans through the public loan
institution.
In the project for the devastated
regions of the north of France 1t Is
proposed that the state after acqu1r-
ing the land, lease 1t to the different
communes which in turn would let 1t
to cooperative societies or to indi-
viduals for farming or for building,
under restrictions that would prevent
the concentration of too great popu-
lation and could reserve to every set
Element ample breathing spaces. pub
lie parks and Fairgrounds with the
most improved hygienic installations.

Uncle Sans Orders

HOBOKEN, N. j., July 12-Saloon
keepers who refused to obey an army
order to close their places in the vicin.
ity of the water front at 10 o'clock last
night were awaiting the government S
next step today. Many of the saloon
owners exhibited spirit of defiance,
and did not lock their doors until mid
night, after learning that the corpora
ton counsel had advised Mayor Griffin
that the army had no control over the
city's liquor traffic.
A large portion of Hoboken's big
alien population resides within half
mile of government piers. While army
officers have such a disposition to be
lenient in the enforcement of meas
ures which would forbid these aliens
to remain in this district, they recent
ly informed the mayor that saloon
business within the military zone must
be regulated.

Fellow Citizens Young and Old:
That starry banner which floats
so majestically above our heads is
your flag and my flag. 1t is the
flag of more than 100, 100000 free
people. There are sacred memoir
les in every fold; the blood of pa
triots has consecrated every stripe
and every star. 1t has been borne
on many a battlefield, but always
on the side of human freedom, al
ways in defense of the right Of the
people to govern themselves, and
please God-it always will be.
1t is our privilege and our duty
to honor, love, and revere it, to be
loyal to it in thought, word, and
deed, now and always, and to give
our lives for it if need be, because
it represents the best and noblest
ideals of human life and govern
ment. Judge Winslow.
