They aer entirely separate and dis

Of the Signal Corps OF the United

americans attached to various French
Units will probably receive captain

Others. who have only been at the
front for short time will be made
first ieutenants, and 1t is expected
that all the practically every
man holding brevet from the French
schools will be made a second lieuten-
ant in the United States Army.
This will be marked promotion,
as in the French air service the men
automatically become corporals when

DIVIDING UP THE LAND

One of the many big steps being
taken toward practical democracy has
lust been reported from Italy.
THE government has been granted
full powers for the reQuisitiOn any
distribution among the people OF all
the available land for utilization ID
agricultural works. Tools and nipple
ments will be given, together with all
the necessary fertilizer, to those TO
whom the land is assigned.
..Proper instruction will also be
given in order to have the right kind
of culture for the different kinds OF
land. The distribution is gratuitous,
and all expenses will be paid for by
the government till the land be-
comes profitable"
The change of political and econ
omic policy this signifies is tremen'
dous. The details are not clear, but
II is evident that Italy is really dlvid-
ing up all her agricultural land among
her people. bringing under cultivation
the Idle portions and giving every
family a chance to possess its own
home and till its own plot Of ground
A nation that has suffered from all
the evils of landlordism for 1000 years
is being enabled, with government
help, to get back to the soil"
The land, presumably, will have to
be paid for, but the payments will
not begin until the occupants are de-
irving a proper income from their
holdings, and the terms will be so
easy as to cause no hardship.
