washington, Aug. 12.-When the

take up civil occupation, he turned
westward to matchIess public do
main which he helped to develop into
the worlds richest farms and cities.
The government was able to point the
way to a method by which the return
ed soldier was able to turn his talents
for livelihood, and the government
now is laying the ground work to have
similar land available when the grea
war ends and the millions of America n
soldiers return to@civil life.
While the vast domain that await
ed the civil war veteran can not be
duplicated for those VINO return from
the European battelefields, there are
millions of acres which can be made
available with proper legislation and
subsequent development. and which, !,
according to the present plans will be
offered to the returning soldier with
ample time to pay for the cost of de-
velopment if he desires to accept it.
Congress will be asked for legisla-
ton to make this land available, ac-

tary Lane and congressional leaders.
