BUTTE, Aug. 3.-The lynching OF
Frank Little, member of the execu-
tive board of the Industrial Work
ers of the World, who was taken
from a lodging house by masked
men and hanged to a railroad trestle
on the outskirts of the ethyl, is be-
ieved to be but the beginning Of a
campaign of determination directed
against men who cast reflections on
the armed forces of this country.
Little, who had made many attacks
on the Federal Government, during

His record was under investigation
by the Federal authorities. There
was one report current that Little

Little began TO make speeches on
the day OF his arrival In Butte three
weeks ago. In one OF them he attack
ed the Government and in some OF
them bitterly criticised the Admins

park, Little said: "If the mines are
taken under Federal control we VIII

TEUToNs MAKING GREAT
 PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN
By Associated Press.

LONDON, July 30.-Tons of sedi- tious literature, printed m many languages and intended for circula- ton in neutral countries, have been seized here and condemned by a prize court as part of a gigantic scheme on the part of the Germans to spread their propaganda to the four corners of the earth. The seiz- ures were found in the mails of steam ships. More than 1,500 bags, con- taining thousands of pamphlets were removed from the vessels by the British authorities.
 The attorney general, Tn asking the court to condemn the seizures, assert ed that the scheme was on the largest possible scale and had been carried out with ingenuity and thoroughness Information available to the British authorities showed that in virtually every neutral country, almost in every neutral town of importance, the Ger | mans had appointed agents whose special mission it was to distribute | the literature.

of proprietorship is made to rest large ly on the cultivation or -cultiva- pant be a bona fide owner or merely a settler he will be virtually compell- ed to cultivate the ground under his control in order to hold secure posses sion. In the event of failure in this respect the ground will be prac- tically open 10 allotment to another prospective cultivator.
 Probably the most unique feature
 of the system is the agreement of the government to indemnify owners
 of land for such of their property as
 may be taken up by bona fide cul-
 tivators, not by paying them for the
 lands, thus creating in many cases an
 incentive to sharp dealing, but in an
 area of land at least equal to the
 amount of which they have been de-
 prived by the occupancy of others.
 Although apparently crude in many
 respects, the new law is to be com
 mended in that it will prevent large
 areas of land being held idle and use
 less by private land owners, to the
 detriment of those who would appre-
 ciate an opportunity to devote their labors to cultivation.
 The whole system is clearly de- signed to rest upon the principle that the ground must be worked to the ad- vantage of the community as well as the individual and will doubtless have the effect of placing Mexico in the first rank of productive states. Under the old system of government, of the total area of the national domain
 not included in the government owned lands, more than four fifths was held l by a limited number of individuals and was only partially cultivated at best Through the operation of the older system the owning of land by the peasantry was practically impos- sible; under the new system 1t is possible for practically every adult male to obtain tentative possession of fair sized farm upon which he may | devote his labors under a government ra nj pf tho that he fulflls his contract to place the land in condition of productivity.

MEXICAN LAND DISTRIBUTION.

Late reports from Mexico indicate rapid progress in the application of the agrarian principle.
 Under the direction of what is known as the National Agrarian Commission, the government is mak- ing preparations to take over all un- occupied lands within the national boundaries and will later divide them for the benefit of small cultivators. Under the terms of the new constitu- ton the distribution of land will not he confined solely to the unpreempted public domain, ss bona fide cultiva- tors are allowed to appropriate un- cultivated lands for farming purposes even in the event Of such lands being included in the land areas of large estates. q provision which practically land under cultivation or surrender a portion of 1t to same other culti-
  tage of the agricultural possibilities. It is not the intention, however. to allow ruthless seizures ot the uncul- tivated sections. Application for land grants must he made in due form to the agrarian commission which will also properly indemnify the owners of lands which have al- ready been taken up by small culti- vators
 In all cases where people have al- ready settled on the lands of large estates and manifest Q disposition to engage in productive agriculture the government guarantees to protect them in their rights, and should the owner of the area thus appropriated petition the government for restitu- ton, he will be awarded, in the lam guage of the agrarian enactment; mot less than fifty hectares" (about 120 acres) of land. the government es- pecially indicating that this area shall not cover any of the Improvements made by the new settlers" Tn no case is the prospective settler on lands to be distributed by :he gov ernment allowed 10 take up an area In excess of fifty hectares and may remain in possession of the lands al- ,otted to them only so long as they respect the requirements Of the new law in the matter of intensive cultiva- tion Any lazlness or fail Ire on tbe r;rt of the new propr'c;c.s will Ie visited with forfeiture of their farms.
 While the wisdom of several fea- lures of the new land distribution plan appears debatable, the new Mexican government appears to have hit upon a happy means of avoiding the prin- cipal difficulties In effecting land distribution of the character con- templated.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-An in- crease of thirty per cent in the num- Der of candidates to be admitted into the second officers reserve training camps which are scheduled to open on August 27, was ordered by the war department today. Under the new ruling the number of men to be ac- cepted as candidates for commissions will be raised from sixteen thousand to twenty thousande eight hundred. It is probable that the additional candidates will be largely secured from the immense overplus, of names which have already been submitted and which were refused owing to the limit fixed by the war department.
