of the Allies toward the German
border and the Germans preparing
for complete evacuation Of Belgium;
and with the victories of the Allies
in Russia and Siberia and the as
sembling Of duly accredited repre-

which England has already COM
pleted, which France and other
countries have long been planning,
and which Germany perfected in al
most every detail before the war
started.
We Americans have been pleading
that our tardiness in preparing for
war was due to the fact that we
did not believe in war, but we can
not advance similar excuse for our
delay in preparing for peace.
When peace comes, II Will come

army training camps and on the

The noisy and influential element
in this country that urged an invasion
of Mexico, two years ago, to "clean
up and establish law and order" will
be again confronted by the same

this course in Germany.
In an address to congress, in which
he stated the armistice terms, Presi-
dent Wilson gave notice that he did
not favor mixing in the internal af-
fairs of the Teuton nation, now in the
throes of revolution. He expressed
the hope that these peoples would
CHOOSE the way of self-control and
peaceful accommodation"
"If they do" he said, 1--WE will put
our aid at their disposal in every way
that we can. If they do not, we must
await with patience and sympathy the
awakening and recovery that will as
suredly come at last.
"The humane temper and intention
of the victorious governments has
already been manifested in a very
practical way. Their representatives
in the supreme war council at Ver-
sailles have by unanimous resolution
assured the peoples of the central EN-
pires that everything that is possible
in the circumstances will be done to
supply them with food and relieve

HOMES AND FARMS FOR
RETURNING SOLDIERS

Secretary of the Interior Lane has
initiated most important after-war
measure reorganization of Ameri-
can agricultural life through install
lation of system for the placing of
returning soldiers upon the farm.
The plan contemplates the estab-
lishment of approximately a million
homes and farms for returning sol
diers and sailors who desire to take
advantage of the proposition. 1t is
proposed that upon the valuation of
this property the soldier will be re-
quired to pay not more than 1 or
" per cent until he, thorugh his
own initiative, has reclaimed the
property by payments to the govern
ment, extending over long period.
Secretary Lane also advocates the
installation of community-plan ideas
which will make it possible for the
economic development and the scien-
tific operation of the farm. An ex-
pert director in agriculture, fruit
growing and stock raising will be
assigned to given area, who will
disseminate practical information to
the farm occupants. 1t is proposed
that the states shall provide the
lands in addition to the government
al domains. and the government is
to build the houses, roads and all
essentials necessary for successful
agricultural operation.
The senate committee on public
lands has reported favorably bill
to make an appropriation to survey
and classify all unentered lands of
the United States and other unused
lands with view to disposing of
them in line with the ideas advo-
Gated by Secretary Lane.
This far-reack.ng economic 3cheme
means much, Secretary Lane insists.
for the future stability of our coun-
try. His advocacy of such a meri-
torious and humanitarian undertak
ing is unquestiOnably largely the re-
suit of his lifelong association with
he Typographical Union.

present the matter in a communica-
ton to the local unions.
The report OF the committee de-
clares that now is the time to build.
1t also says that the strength of the
movement locally warrants the belief
that there should be no difficulty in
financing the proposition. The COM
mittee then goes ahead and outlines
a scheme for raising the wherewithal.
A contribution of 50 head from the
membership is suggested, with per
capita assessment through the union
of 25 cents month. The sum of
$4,000 it is estimated could be Sc
cured under clause one and about a
thousand dollars from the per capita
assessment. A plan for voluntary
labor on the building is also outlined.
along with an outline of suitable reg
ulations for control of the building
after completion.
Discussion of the relation of the
union men to the. Mutual Laundry
was taken up and the secretary of
the Council YVES directed to write the
different unions in regard to the
status of the Star and the Capital
laundries, and call attention to the
fact that some union members persist
in patronage of the unfair institu-
tiOns.
A large number of communications
were read, most of them being placed
on file.
No session of the Council will be
held on Thanksgiving Day, and at
the first meeting in December the
Label League will entertain the dele
gates with refreshments and pro-
gram.
