VIEWS ON WAR HAVE
CHANGED.

New York, April 22.-Max Eastman's

since American troops arrived II
France, the former editor of the social

today in the federal court here. East
man and three others associated with
him in the publication Of the periodi
cal are on trial, accused Of conspiracy
to thwart operation of the draft act by
publishing seditious articles.
HAS CHANGED HIS MIND
United States Assistant District At
torney Barnes asked Eastman to ex
plain an article which, written by the
defendant shortly after America en-
tered the war, alluded to the war as a
"a crime against America and the
world" Eastman said his feelings
were changed definitely, "since the
boys have gotten over into France and
are beginning to die in defense Of their
ideals and those of their country"
This change OF attitude, he declared,
bore out his previous assertions on the
stand that he had as great respect for
those who took up arms as for those
who remained true to their con.
sciences and refused to fight because
they believed the war was unjusti.

FARMS FOR SOLDIERS

The idea that many soldiers returning to this country after the will be best cared for by put ting them in possession of agricultural land has been advocated frequently for year past. It would have been an easy thing to do 40 years ago. but where is the land to be found now?
 Secretary Lane believes that it be found and is asking for the money needed make the farms ready for the soldiers home coming He points out that of the 230,000,000 in the public domaini more than half will never be fit for cultivation. The best of the remaining undeveloped land con ssts of arid land that irrigated, cut-ovcr land in tho Lake States, the Northwest and the South, and swamp land in the Middle West and South. The cut-over land will have to be cleared and the swamp land must be drained.
 In order to make this land available it must be located, studies must be made to determine how it be used best and plans be laid for re- claiming it before start is made toward of- fering the land soldiers As the Secretary points out, this is large undertaking in itself, and one that will a great deal time. He adso- cates attacking the problem once, that when the home definite offers of homesteads be made.
 Even if question of helping the returned sol desires to do would be valuable It will be indspens- able if the lands he has in mind are to make farms for soldiers of this
 The mines and fisheries and forests of Alaska can easily for few hundreds of thousands of the returning soldiers and with the development these will come room for other thousands the agrcul- tural lands of this Territory.

TURKS SACK HOSPITAL.

 It is presumed that after such an outbreak war will be declared on Turkey Just why this was not done long is mystery, but the most credible explanation is that the President and Congress hoped to spare other American hospitals and mis- sonary enterprises the fate that has overtaken the at Tduriz
 country as Germany and Austria, and have been right along. The hope may have existed in some minds that by failing to make formal declara- ton Of war against the two Balkan members of the Central Powers we were holding out an induce inert to Bulgaria and Turkey to desert the Teu- tonic combination at the first opportunity If so that hope must have pershed long ago
