NATIONWIDE PLAN TO

To provide homes for the returnin,

Lane recently presented to the Pres
ident an industrial Villages" plan fol-
the utilization of the 365 900 900 acres
of arid, swamp and cut-over lands OF
the United States. Touching on this
subject the Rocky Mountain News
says:
This is a nationwide plan for land
conservation for the use of the demob-
ilized American armies when they
have completed their jobs on another
continent. The preliminary work
should be undertaken without delay.
1t is big undertaking naturally, hav-
ing to do with the provision for mil
lions of abe-bodied men. There is no
frontier line outside of Alaska. Prac-
tically all of the most available public
lands have been appropriated. New
empires must be constructed of land
in waste arid land must be irrigated
swamp land drained, cut-over land
cleared of stumps and watered where
this is required. There is nothing +
Utopian about this plan The govern
ment would be increasing the re-
sources and the population and the
accumulated wealth of the whole
nation and Strengthening it's founda-
ton by adding millions of self-support-
ing farmers to lands now all but DESC
late. What is aimed at is to help the
newcomer to these lands to help him.

Liberty Loan speakers that tho Allied
military victories should be regarded

Syrian Capital Occupied by
Allcnby at End of 130-
Mile Advance

LONDON, Oct. 3 Damascus, the
capital of Syria, was occupied by Gen
cral Allcnby's forces on Tuesday morn
ing, according to an official statement
issued to-day by the British War Office
More than 1000 Turks. were taken
prisoner in the city.
The Turkish commandant at Damas-
Gus had asked for terms for the sur
render of tho city to General Allcnby's
forces, "Thc Manchester Guardian" re
ported earlier.
The Allied oNernmcnts have decided
formally to recognize the bclligcrcnt
status Of the Arab forces fighting as
auxiliarics with the Allies against the
common enemy in Palestine and Syria
The statement on Palestine opera
tions says:
Troops of an Australian mounted
division entered Damascus Monday
night. At 6 a. m., October 1, the city
was occupied by the British forces and
by Il portion of the Arab army of King
Husscin. Over 1000 prisoners were
taken.
"After It's surrender, with the exccp-
tion of necessary guards, all the Allied
troops were withdrawn from the city
for the time being. Tho local authori-
ties remain responsible for its admins
tration."
Damascus is the Turkish base in
Eyria and Palestine and its fall prob
ably means the end Of all Turkish re-
sistancc to General Allcnby in Palcs-
tine and Syria.
Alcppo, $50 miles northeast, is the
most important base in this region of
Asia Miuor, as it is junction point
of the railroads from Palestine and
Mcsopotamia, and this probably will be
Allcnby's next objective.
The capture of Damascus marks an
advance of 1870 miles by General Allen
by's forces since September 90, the day
he launched his victorious attack north
of Jerusalem. In that time the British
have captured nearly 10000 prisoners.
