FARMS FOB SOLDIERS.

Providing farm homes for soldiers after their discharge from active service is occupying the attention of Secretary Franklin K. Lane and other officers of the Department of she Interior, but they seem to ignore he most important question in con- aection with this project: Will the returned soldier desire to settle down on undeveloped farmland, improve it, till it and make it his future home?
 The American army is thoroughly representative of American life. It is composed of mechanics, bank clerks, newspaper men, drygoods store em- ployes and members of nearly every calling in the world. History tells ns that after every great war there was a migration toward undeveloped sections of the country, which were thrown open to discharged soldiers.

nature, so poised, so self-reliant and yet so far removed from an absorption In selfish interests. Is not always right ly appraised during life. Only when they leave us are we fully aware of the sustaining comfort given and positive good done by these people all too few in our busy world-who seem to have Hearts at leisure from themselves, To soothe and sympa-
 thize'. Miss Tuck spent her early life spent where her father, the late J. Warren Tuck, was at one time prin- cipal of our High School and later an officer In the Union Works. Her III others interest in all good works. especially her devotion to the welfare of young girls whom she gathered in her home long before Y w. c. A. was thought of, are gratefully re- nemb bered here. Marie Tuck, her gifted sister, died when associated with the management of a girls school in Germantown. To all these losses and other bereavements in the
 larger circle of relatives, Miss Tuck brought her buoyant faith in a divine
 providence which marks the sparrow's fall and does not leave the lonely comfortless.
 
 breaking up of the home here, she
 found a delightful environment in the
 home of an aunt, Mrs. Lyford of Chicago. Here she received and gave
 the good cheer and family affection
 which make life worth while. Hers was the merry heart which doeth good like a medicine" She also enjoyed
 the opportunities a large city affords and when, after the death of MT. and
 Mrs. Lyford, her heart reverted to
 earlier days and familiar scenes here

 life enriched by interesting experi-
 ences. Very naturally she fitted into place all her own, in the town and
 church for which she had always
 cherished loyal affection.
 She will be greatly missed in all gatherings at the South church-and particularly in those devoted to the consideration of missionary activities It is true. however that while her consecrated imagination helped her to visualize and to work for the needs of far away peoples, she never neg lected the claims of those nearest her. In recalling her life one thinks in stinctively of Lowell's tribute to gentle womanho of the lines:
 ''She doeth little kindnesses, Which most leave undone, or despise;
 For naught that sets one heart at ease,
 And giveth happiness or peace, Is low esteemed in her eyes, The type of womanhood, represent ed by Miss Tuck, is rapidly passing. The subtle, pervasive influence of such quiet lives Is oftentimes discounted. Little as she would have believed it. in her modest, self-effacing nature-- we who loved her thought of Miss Tuck as having chosen, with Mary, the "better part As such we shall remember her and give thanks for her fricndship--so stimulating, so restful and so heartening.

OUT OF THE MOUTH OF BoRAH.

It is refreshing to hear the unvar- gress, especially in reference to the expenditure of money. Heretofore the public had been led to believe there was no waste or extravaganza In the appropriation and disposal of funds. But Senator Borah believes differently, and paints a drab picture of what is taking place under the nose of public that takes too much for granted and believes all it hears. Senator Borah's frank statement is:
 If the people really knew the
 method or the manner in which we expend money and the waste of which we are guilty, they would mob us. It is by reason of the fact that the details of these expenditures are kept from the people that public opinion Is not aroused to it's height in regard to this matter.
 Later on Senator Borah proceeds to reveal further peculiarities of Con gress:
 There is one thing Congress has never yet been able to do, and that Is to abolish Q bureau or abolish an office. Congress has great
 capacity to make twelve men do
 what one man did before but
 practically no capacity appar-
 entlv to curtail either the em-
 ployes or the expenditures.
 Why not have a wax record of the speech preserved and placed in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington
New Britain herald., 1918-11-15

Stephane Lauzanne, editor of the Parts Matin, whose address in this o4ty will be recalled during the lives o& those who heard it as a wonderful message from France, is not deeply impressed by the attitude of the Ger man people, who have suddenly come into power. He believes the Allies should not be too 1enient even though the German public professes to have undergone a metamorphosis resulting in their becoming civilized and humane overnight.
 ''Lst us remain strong. for strength is the only thing Germany under stands." M. I.auzanne says. Let us not be too generous, for sometimes generosity is understood as weakness. It is ridiculous to speak of the good shouted with glee in the streets of Berlin when the Lusitania was sunk with little American children. The German socialists are noisy now They WG0S S11SuC WIl0n b0IE1AIh W&dS IhNdu- ed, when the Brest-Litovsk treaty was signed. Let them be silent now"
 M. Lauzanne's warning is timely and worthy of consideration. Victory rests on our standards, but it should be remembered that victory was gained because Germany was beaten, not because Germany became con- verted to the belief her methods of warfare were barbaric. Our measure Of suffering has not been great when compared with the anguish which France was forced to endure and we are apt to allow our spirit of mag ranimity to gain the ascendency. By so doing we will be inviting Germany to try again. There is nothing like just punishment to chasten an indi- vidual or a nation. The Allies will give Germany her supper, spank her and put her to bed.

.ANIERICA'S COMMERCIAL
 FUTURE.

Standing at the gateway of a new commercial era, the United States is preparing to take advantage of every opportunity for trade expansion and unless professional politics and dema- gogy interfere there is no reason why our domestic wealth should not be augmented by a steady stream of gold flowing from every quarter of the globe. No longer will the Stars and Stripes be missing from the high seas, and ships built in America, by Americans and manned by Americans will be found in every port of the world, loading rich cargoes for the home journey after discharging their wealth of goods made in the United States
 Charles M. Schwab, chairman of the Emergency Fleet Corporation, says:
 From now on we are going to
 build ships for economic pern1a-
 nency. We are not going to
 strive for speed, but we are go-
 ing to build ships that will be
 the argosies of trade, sailing the
 seven seas, in the days of the
 long peace. And let me say
 right here that 70 per cent. of
 the ships already built have
 been built for economic efficien-
 cy. The program calls for 18,-

WAR HAS DEVELOPED
 SCIENCE OF THE AIR
Almost Unbelievable Progress Ha' Been Made in Aviation in Last
 10 Years.

London, Nov. 1 Correspondence of the Associated Press) No other de- velopment in human history has shown so remarkable results as has flying in the last ten years, says Lord Montague of Beaulieu, a British scien- tist and aviation expert.
 When the Wright brothers visited Europe ten years ago." he said, the airplane engines were of A horse- power. Today they are of 750 horse power in some cases, and the air p1ane's carrying capacity has in creased from about 126 pounds to 1-2 tons.
 Ten thousand feet was then the highest flight. Today we are doing .26,000. And while 40 miles an hour was then the highest speed, today we are approaching 160.
 The British army in France, began with only 36 planes I may not give the number today but it is huge"
 Long flights-to and from America, for instance-wOuld be possible after the war, Lord Montagu said, adding that he himself hoped some day to

CHARLES CROSSES BORDER.

Geneva, Switzerland, Nov. 15, (By Nov. 13 GNoon) (By the Associated Press) ).-Charles the former Austrian emperor, and Zita, his wife, according to the Vienna Arbeiter Zeitung, left Vienna last night on a special train. They are expected to cross the Swiss frontier today at Buchs, on the left bank Of the Rhine
 The former emperor and empress probably will reside in a town on the Swiss shores of Lake Constance until peace has been signed.

The popular belief that the ex-Kai- ser could not be impressed by public opinion must be revised. The New York World correspondent in Hol- land, who saw Herr Hohenzollern ar rive at Amerongen, describes him thus:
 He looked and acted almost shy
 and greatly embarrassed as he
 faced the small crowd of the
 populace and the reporters. He
 saluted formally, then hesitated,
 as the cheers of the crowd were
 enthusiastically mingled with jeers,
 groans, and catcalls.
 Amerongen is not a great distance geographically from Berlin but mor- ally and mentally it Is as far removed from the sabre -rattling imperialism of the Hohenzollern court as the sun is from the earth. A shy and embar- rassed Hohenzollern is a fallen Hoh- enzollern.

But tlmeS nave changed ana It IS doubtful whether the United States soldier of today will express any gen. eral eagerness to beat his trench tools into plowshares and devote the remainder of his life to raising the nations crops.
 At the close of the Civil War there cultivated reaches of the west, which offered extensive opportunities that do not exist now Experience shows that soldiers become accustomed to outdoor life and prefer to continue to live where a man may stretch him. self without fear of putting his fist in the eye of a traffic policeman, but it is still doubtful whether the bank clerks, store employees, mechanics and others who go to make up our army of democracy will not prefer to return to their former occupations.
 America cannot make bountiful awards of land as it has done in the past. Dwelling on this feature, Sec retary Lane says:
 We do not have the bountiful
 public domain of the sixties and
 seventies. Tn @ literal sense, for
 the use of it on a generous scale for soldier farm homes as in the
 sixties, "the public domain is
 gone.' The official figures at the
 end of the fiscal year, June 30,
 1917, show this: We have unap-
 propriated land in the continent
 al United States to the amount of
 230,657,755 acres. It is safe to
 say that not one-half of this land
 will ever prove to be cultivable
 in any sense. So we have no
 land in any way comparable to
 that in the public domain when
 Appomattox came-and men
 turned westward with army rife
 and ''roll blanket''-to begin life
 anew.
 Secretary Lane estimates that there now remain in the hands of the gov ernment fifteen million acres of lr- rigable land. He further says:
 The amount of swamp and cut
 over lands in the United States
 that can be made available for
 farming is extensive. Just how
 much there is has never been de-
 termined with any degree of ac-
 curacy. Practically all of it has
 passed into private ownership.
 For that reason in considering its
 use it would be necessary to work
 out a policy between the private
 owners and the government un-
 less the land was purchased. It
 has been estimated that the total
 area of swamp and overhowed
 lands in the United States is be-
 tween seventy and eighty million
 acres.
 This presents another problem. Will the soldier accept this swamp that these vast acres be made cultiV- able, but forcing them on man who has offered his very life for his coun" try will strike the average person as rather a poor reward. Then again, the purchase of these vast swamps from private owners opens the road to gross financial abuses as influential owners might be able to convince public officials, jealous of their posi- ton and power that the land is really located in Manhattan and should bring proportionate prices.
 Before appropriating millions for investigation and purchase it might be advisable to ask the soldier what he thinks about it.

 To all those who have known Miss Alice Tuck, through her life of rare unselfishness and gentle ministrations, the announcement Of her death brings a sense of personal loss not easily expressed in words. She went in and out. among friends and acquaintances, never obtruding her personal sorrows or making demands for sympathy, but radiating good cheer and a genuine interest in all whom she met on the highway of life, Such an outgoing

100000 more tons of shipping,
 and those ships arc going to be
 constructed. They are going to
 carry overseas the products of
 American manufacturers that
 will rebuild half a continent, and
 they are going to bring back the
 most precious loads of freight
 that ships ever carried in all this
 world-they are going to bring
 back the American soldiers who
 laid low military autOcracy over
 there and made the world safe

 Mir. Schwab's words ring with a spirit that should thrill every Amer ican heart. It is not altogether self ishness, the desire for gain, that adds sipnificance to his statement 'They are going to carry overseas the products of American manufacturers that will rebuild half a continent v Money can never give the satisfaction we can derive from the knowledge that we can build as well as destroy empires, build the empires of the people and destroy the empires of +ha autocrats.
