 OF RETURNING MEN

That Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane is working on q well-organized plan to settle a large number of the soldiers returning from Europe in Alaska at the close of the war was intimated this morn ing by George Watkin Evans, district mining engineer for the United States bureau of mines for the Northwestern States and Alaska, who reached Seattle last night from Alas ka. where he has been examining the Matanuska coalfield.
 Evans accompanied a party sent north by the government which was composed of E. o. Mccormick, vice. president of the Southern Pacific Railway; c. c. McFadden, chief ell gineer of the Peabody Coal Company and l.. A. O. Gabany The commits sion was instructed to investigate the present status of the Matanuska coalfield and to outline a scheme for future development of that region.
 Mccormick, who is chairman of the commission, together with Nc Fadden and Gabany. visitedthe Cop per River district to study that field while Evans returned to Seattle to supervise coal tests for the use of the commission in making its report. Times

BOLSHEVIKI DO
 NOT FANCY TROOPS
 OF THE ALLIES

MOSCOW, Nov. 13.-A Bolshevik chorus of indignant. protests met the statements of the American British and Japanese governments to the Russian people, setting forth the reasons which impel them to dis patch troops to Russia. The editor- ials in official and non-official Bol- sheviki papers rivaled each other in the use of -denounciatory language and abound in such expressions as Ties" hypocrisy" stupidity" and others of a similar character, all designed to convince the readers that the Allies did not mean to help Russia but only to crush the Soviet government and draw the country into the war in order to improve their own position on the Western front.

MUST BUILD SHIPS.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Charles M. Schawb says: Until peace is concluded and until all of our boys have returned to America, it is vital that we keep on building ships with every ounce of our strength and en- ergy. After that we can consider the future" Chairman Hurley of the Shipping Board says: Our ship yards will be kept going to their capacity-they must not let up. The inefficient plants which have been permitted to operate because of the war emergency. will drop out when the emergency is removed. Efficient yards will be encouraged and sup ported because we can depend on them to carry out their promises and produce ships economically"

JAPANESE FEARS
 COMMON PEOPLE
 TOO DEMOCRATIC

TOKYO, Nov. 12.-The recent food riots in Japan are dangerous symp- toms of a widening social cleav- age in the opinion of Toshia Fuj- iwara, leading business man of -fokio and an authority on social questions. He contrasts the condi- tions under which the working class of Japan live with the enormous profits of great enterprise, and sees war millionaires a social irritant which is causing the theories of western agitators to work on the minds of the Japanese wage earners.
 MT, Fujiwara thinks that Jap anese skiNed workmen have already acquired the ideas of the working people of western countries. He adds: "These ideas, unfortunately mostly in wrong sense, are stead fly working upon the minds of our working people, especially those in big cities like Tokio. Osaka, etc. He continues:
 Leaders of the nation are there fore strongly urged to adopt some measures for relief of the general 1iscontent so that disaster may be lvoided. Should this general dis content of the working bssalfiMfih content of the working class be left without remedy, we may have more serious outbursts and these may bring about catastrophe to the Empire"

 Many believe that the same rule will apply to all telegraph and tele- phone and radio systems.

 The first foundation pile for Mea- cham & Babcock's ship tailor shop was driven on Salmon Bay site near Ballard, Seattle suburb, on July 4, 1917. The plant, filled in to a depth of three or four feet with dredged material, now covers an area of 23 acres. From it's six building ways we are dropping ships into the water every three weeks, just like glacier giving off chunks of ice," as Meacham puts it.

SEATTUE-MADE SHIPS
 HAVE NAMES CHANGED

Western Hero is the name now borne by the 8,000ton steel steam ship Seattle, famed as the direct contract ship delivered to the United States Shipping Board, the vessel being a product of the Skinner & Eddy plant of Seattle. The name of the Indiana, a communicated ship, also built by Skinner X Eddy, has been changed to Western Front.
 The names of these vessels was changed because they were trans ferred to the navy and the navy al ready has an armored cruiser Seat tle and a battleship Indiana, and it is practice to have noe names du. plicated in the naval service.

e. R. Bennett, field horticulturist

L. r. Bennett, field horticulturist
of the department of agriculture,
who was one of the speakers at the
farm bureau meeting held in the
Standard theatre last Saturday, has
furnished the Republican with the
following article on the planting and
care of gardens, which is of especial
interest just at this time because OF
the widespread interest in gardening
as helpful war measure.
The work done this month will
largely determine the value OF this
years garden. II the garden is
started right the work for the season
is half done. Last year many of us
made mistakes that were hard to
correct. We should profit by the ex-
perience of last year and thus avoid
many of last years troubles.
First make sure that the soil is
leveled in such way that irrigation
can be done efficiently This means
that the land must be made to have
an even slope from one side or end
of the garden to the other Make a
good seed bed by having the top few
inches of soil thoroughly fined. All
space not planted at the time the
garden is prepared should be kept
cultivated to prevent the growth Of
weeds and the loss of moisture. One
of the most serious losses in gardens
last year was from the work of the
so-called "cut-worms. Those worms
of last year that were not killed de-
veloped into moths which laid eggs
at the roots of plants in the gardens
and fields last August or September.
The resulting larvae have been in
the soil since that time and may now
be found in the gardens waiting for
to start If the soil is
known to be infested with them
they may be largely disposed of by
poisoning. This is best done while
the ground is devoid of plants so that
there will be no other food for the
worms than that which is poisoned.
The following formula which is
by the United States
of Agriculture, can be
made effective for Kidding fields and

He is your faithful guardian; your
tireless servitor.
He makes safe the ocean lanes fol
the way of the mariner.
He speeds the sure, swift fight o.
the three cent letter.
He safeguards the perilous tasks
of the miner.
He smites the rock, and the dead
waste of the desert teens with life
He makes two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before.
He measures the heat of the stars.
He makes your money and he regu-
lates your time.
He is the conqueror of disease.
He fixes the standards of weight
and measure.
He is the great record keeper and
the worlds master builder.
He is teacher and lawgiver and
judge.
He does a thousand things in a
thousand ways-and he does them all
for you.
And now he has turned warrior
For your protection he has grappled
with the mad power that has trans
crossed the rights of mankind and
upset the peace of the world.
Duty is to Lend.
He wants to borrow your money,
and you should lend it to him.
Your duty to your country is as
fixed as your obligation to your fam
lily.
This is literally true, because if
you do not maintain the integrity
of your government your wife is no
longer secure in your home nor your
children safe in their school.
Mind you, Uncle Sam does not ask
you to give this money; he merely
wants you to lend it.
Every penny you can afford toad
vance is that much saved for your
own use in the tranquil days when
shall have emerged from
this agony Of blood and carnage.
You may respond as freely as you
will in the assurance that your
money will not be used for the hate
full and CHASTITY business of conquest.
1t will be spent to soothe the hurts
Of those who are manned, to feed
hose who are hungry, to clothe those
who are not clad to shelter those
who are homeless, and to grid Lib
erty's defending hosts for their
mighty task Of crushing the brutal,
plunderer who has so
'hamefully violated the peace and
honor of the world and all but made
t captive.

by their own officers, even at the
risk of prosecution by the Military
authorities. One chapter of this
testimony reads, He was struck in
the face with the fist by Lieutenant
Erler, so that a tooth bled and got
loose. He was beaten till he was
bleeding but report of the case was
not sent higher up. Musketeer
Hempel shot and killed himself after
drill because he had been grossly in
suited by a corporal In front of the
company. A reservist threw him
self in front of railroad train; an
other drowned himself, because they
could no longer stand the abuse of
non-commissioned officer Huebner."
So overwhelming was the. evidence
presented by attorney for Rosa Lux
emburg that German Military au-
thorities never allowed the case to be
brought to trial. In another para
graph of this booklet Mr.. Altshul
states, IF Americans had been ia
miliar with the details of German
Militarism they would have expected
the worst during the stress of cam
paign, and would have been less un-
prepared for the unheard of barbara
ties practiced by the German in Bel
GUM and wherever they set foot
If officers, on-commissioned officers,
and professional regulars treat their
own recruits in the fashion described,
in times of peace what could be ex-
pected of troops commanded by such
rutflans in enemy country under the
terrific excitement of combat, and
particularly when "frightfulness" is
the slogan" Summarizing the hope
for the future Mr.. AItschul says
when the German people awaken
from the nightmare which now
holds them in its grasp; when they
realize it was the dream of world
power that had blinded them; when,
under the pressure of stern neces-
sity, they recast their views of |
and Of its consequences;
then here will reawaken that con-
science which the liberal press en-
deavored to stimulate in times of |
peace, and it will again be possible |
to treat Germany of today as with
the Germany Of old, when she had
not yet sacrificed her soul on the altar
Of efficiency.

BRUTALNATURE Of
GERMAN OFFICERS
German Militarism as it Has
Been Described in German
Papers, Exposed in Book
Issuer by Committee on
Public Information.

The naked brutality of Prussian
militarism in every day garrison life
Is revealed by the testimony of Ger
man soldiers, press and public men.
The German Government from the
Kaiser down has supported army Of
tlcers in their revolving brutality to
German soldiers. This is the evil
dence obtained In the United States
Governments latest war booklet of
the War Information Series, entitled
German Militarism and It's German
Critics" This booklet is releasd
through the Committe on Public In
formation, Washington, d. c., to the
American public, and anyone may
obtain copy without cost by writ
Ing the Committee. The author of
this booklet is Charles Altschul, re-
tired banker of New York City, who
has made careful study of German
newspaper critism. 1t is most
powerful expose of German Militar-
ism. Mr.. Altshul states beating and
abuse have been in vogue In the Prus-
sian army as long as 1t has existed,
nearly 275 years, and every effort to
eradicate the trouble has failed"
There are five chapters in this inter-
esting booklet, the first dealing with
German Militarism since 1914; the
second on the brutalizing effect of
Milttarism; the third shows the Ger
man militarism exaltation of the
army above the civil authorities; the
fourth chapter illustrates the IA
bern Incident" as an evidence of mill
tarism over civil authority; and the
fifth chapter deals with the hope for
the future in the conduct of German
military authorities. All material In
this booklet Is based upon verbatim
quotations from German newspapers
who stood aghast at the display of
license and unbelievable brutality
practiced by commissioned and non
commissioned officers In th$ German
army barracks. The main source of
information is the "Vorwarts," the
official organ Of the German Social
Democratic party. At the trial of
Rosa Luxembourg 922 men from all
parts of Germany responded and
we're ready to testify to something
like 10000 separate instances of
brutal treatmnt Of German soldiers

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

/ own land, haul grain or drive stock
to town, it would have done only a
little more than it accomplished by
its interdiet against the freedom OF
the sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition Of
the American farmer in the latter
part of 1914 and the first half of 1915
and see.
When the war broke out through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use of the sea as
highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. | know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 25,-
900 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
bushel Farmers in the south sold
their cotton FOR half the cost of pro.
ducing 1t. All this time those por.
tons of the world whose ports we're
open we're ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
1t never returned for the farmers of
those nations which remained cut off
from ocean traffic.
Take the case of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia.
SO In spite OF the efforts of the Gov
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed In &his country from the out
break OF the war until now If our
Government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price OF wheat and cot
ton, and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops? By no means! You would
fight to the last gaspl Not to make
money, but to be free!
When a man Is enslaved, all he
loses in money Is his wages. But, the
white man has never been able to ac-
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaved. There rises up
In him against servitude a resentment
so terrible that death always is pref
cradle.

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe
cially loves peace. Since the dawn Of
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out Of doors In plain
sight and is spoil OF war-his house
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations OF farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is q warrior
when war Ia the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the jewellers In the cities, because 1t
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast OF the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand its meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaiDtances. Instead
OF reading half a dozen extras day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time In a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
1t is impossible to set the farmers
Of the United States on fire by means
Of any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In a long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land In the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he Is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us OF our cattle or horses. No
saber-rattlers insuted our women. 1t
seemed to many of us that we we're
not at war--the thing was so far off.
We did not realize what giant war
had become--a monster with thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us threefourths of
everything we grew, But finally we
saw that 1t was 30.
II the Imperial German government
had made and enforced an order that
no American farmer SHOULD leave his
