GERMANY ALSO PREPARING
Colonization on Farms, Carefully
Worked Out by an Expert, Liable
to Be Upset by Revolt Of
the Proietariat.

London.-The British government Is
now at work considering how the great
task of demobilizing the army and the
rcsettlement of the soldiers into civil
occupations at the conclusion of the
war Is to be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister of labor Is
receiving careful attention, and It Is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also Is giving this subje
her attention and the series of articles
by Herr utsch In the Deutsche. Land
wirtsehaftliche Presse considers the
proposed settlement on the land of sol
diers returning from the war.
Herr Utsch begins by pointing out
that II is national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
10 support himself and his family In
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment, he says, due regard must
be paid To the wishes and the capacity
Of the individual. and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization. for In no other do
main are the possibilities so great
since vast tracts of waste land stu ex-
list In Germany waiting to be opened
up and the returning soldier cherishes
no dearer wish than to have home of
his own.
Sees Added Wealth.
At the same time, says Herr Utsch,
the interests of the country will be
served. since every fresh small colony
increases the national wealth AMI
makes IL more Independent of foreign
countries In the production Of food. He
, sees further advantage In attracting
labor TO rural districts,

pasture can make money in raising
hogs, and it pays to have a good
