LAND AN0 MEN.

Cut-over lands in the United States

clearing; 10000, 0OO acres of swamp
land, Is, 900, 900 acres of arid land await

young men returning from France after
the war may, il opportunity offers,
wish farms to cultivate.
With statesmenlike provision, Secre-
tary Lane desires to bring these men
and the land together. There are farms
for all of them, and land still to spare
for future applicants. But one man by
himself cannot drain swamps or irrigate
dry land; nor can he often finance the
work of putting, cut-over land into crop
condition. These things the govern
ment can do, and Mr.. Lane is right in
thinking it should.
The war has suddenly revealed our
lack and cur need in food production

should in the end repay the cost of the
vast undertaking.

wastes, a million families turning to

moral resources. The preliminary work
of land reclamation for soldier homes

COLLEGE STUDENTS ON PAY.

Young men preparing to enter college
and who will register in compliance with
the selective service law today to pro-
tect their own interests should apply
for immediate induction into the Armv,
for then they may go on with their
education with their subsistence, cloth
ing, quarters and tuition provided by the
government and in addition will get the
private's pay of $50 a month. The
members of the.Students' Army Train
ing Corps will beIrated as soldiers on
active service. They will have the op-
portunity for special training IN the
lines for which they show aptitude and
from among them will be selected candi-
dates for officers training schools. As
a depot for filling up the ranks in the
tremendous enterprise in France known
as the Service of. Supplies, the S. A. T.
c. will answer admirably. there is no
doubt. The opportunity is not limited

THE TURNING WORM.

Presented with the necessity for
fighting with the spirit of desperation
or of losing the entire Hun holdings in
France, Ludendoff is reported making a
sitter resistance and vicious attacks in
an effort to keep the French and Ameri-
cans from duplicating the Haig success
to the north in breaking the hinge of
the German line and causing Douai and
Cambria to be the.critical pawns in the
entire situation.
TIL effort of the Germans using
crack troops to stay the relentless
pressure of Foch upon them in the re-
gion of St. Gobain and Celles-sur Aisne
and to save for the Germans their in
finitely important hold on Chemin-de
Danes is indication enough of the de-
termination of the Germans to retain
their ,strategical hold as against the
French-American advance at all COSTS
The Huns are seeking winter quar-
tiers in the old Hindenburg trenches.
But Foch will not permit them to lay
aside their mobility in favor of trench
action. They will Lbe kept mobile in
the direction of retirement, despite all
they may seek to effect otherwise. The
worm has turned, but the worm is al
ready nearly cut in two and the squirm-
ing in its hate will effect its release
from the sure fate that Foch is bring
ing upon it.

not be permitted to continue sending
the paper. Remember. your credit is
good. but The Republican as is the case
with all other newspapers of the
country, is under Governmental super
vision and the war board considers it
necessary for the winning of the war
that its order be obeyed.
With few exceptions the label on your
paper shows to what date the subscrip-
ton has been paid. Look at it before
you lay this copy of The Republican
aside and send check at once to cover

If conditions were such that we could
mail to each subscriber a personal let

the war board we would do so, but with
multitude of duties developing upon
US owing to the war and war conditions
we find it to be impossible, hence this
public statement.

school educstions may be assigned to
vocational schools.
The possibilities for good from this
plan of sending new soldiers to school
are almost without limit. 1t virtually
opens the doors of the professions and
skilled trades to thousands of lads who
had given up the thought of higher
education through the necessity of 60
ing to work. An extended discussion of
the idea is impossible here, but the
Students Corps is one of the most
significant innovations that has been
made since the war began and deserves
the serious consideration of every
student and educator.

BROOKLYN ROAD CHARGED
 WITH "INExcUSABLE NEGLECT
In Employing Women Conductors as
 Young as IA Years.

New York, June Exchanging the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company with ''inexcusable neglect in employing women conductors as young as 14 years and subjecting them to condi- tions detrimental to their physical mental and moral well being" a grand jury here today urged the immediate enactment of legislation ~'to protect the self respecting womanhoed of the country .s
 The inquisitors, after an inyestiga- tion covering several weeks, reported that the street railway company had hired women of questionable character and drug addicts and that they often were required to work more than ten hours a day. The conditions at the car barns, the grand jury said, were injurious to the community in gen. eral and particularly as affecting many decent and self-respecting women now employed or desiring employment by the railway companies"
 Admitting that the war imposes in dustrial hardships on all classes, th,e findings stated that, despite them, < these critical times advantage shouic not be taken of labor conditions. but l all employers, whether individual oi corporate, should be compelled by i suitable and adequate legislation tC
 provide for the health and morals oi
 their women workers, thereby insur- | ing the best of service"
 The opinion declared that while nc
 violation of existing law had beer l found, no eNgency, however great
 would warrant the continuance of tht l conditions revealed
