KNUTSON HAS NEW !
SOLDIERS LAND PLAN

4 st. Paul, Dec. 30.-A national COL
; onization plan to properly place re-
turned soldiers and sailors on the
land will be presented to ongress
within the next three weeks by Rep
resentative Harold Knutson, it was
announced here today.
Details of the plan were developed
at conference at the St. Paul Fed
eral Land bank.
Il Representative Knutson desires
the federal land banks to act as the
I'agencies for the government in in
with Vice President B. F. Faast, who
made the land settlement community
plan dream come true in Wiscon-
sin. and with n. r. Mitchell, Belnidji
editor, and P. A. Preus; treasurer OF
the St. Paul land bank.
Z The details of the plan were not
disclosed at the request of Mr.. Knut-
son but it includes a large appropria-
tion and the assuring Of both social
and marketing facilities for each col
ony- --
Ii Representative Knutson empha-
sized that his plan provides for the
I grouping Of the soldiers and sailors
instead of their isolated placement as
provided in other projected plans.
The Knutson colonization plan re-
lates only to men released from mill
tary service and does not conflict
with that originated by President E.
G. Quamme of the Federal Land bank
which calls for the placement on pro-
ductive lands and the financing OF
any citizen whether penniless or with
small capital.
The Knutson plan would place the
soldiers. and sailors if communities
with stores, churches, schools, cream
cries, elevators and other business
and social essentials. as we'll as prox-
unity to a good market and trans
pOrtation

WHAT SHALL WE NAME
THE NAVAL WAR BABIES

London, Dec. IL. <(By Mail. )--1n
connection with the proposal to di-
vide surrendered German battlecraft
among the allies and the United
States, it is suggested here that the
battle cruiser Hindenburg be given
to France and renamed the "Marchal
Foch.'
This is on the theory that since
Germany named the hattleship after
her greatest soldier, the ship should
be given to the nation which really
produced the greatest soldier.
1t also is suggested that the Sey-
dlitz. the German flagship, be al
located to England and rechristened
the "Beatty" after the admiral COM
manding the fleet to which she
struck her flag.
