Around Montello and in the region
of the lower Piave Italian cavalry is
being used to help push the enemy
back. They are aided by armored
cars carrying machine guns.
The rising waters of the Piave
and the activity of the Italian ar
tillery are making it difficult for the
Austrians to obtain food. While the
water carries some bridges away and
damages others, the gunners are
sinking boats and hammering the
damaged bridges and floats.

City May Buy Liberty Bonds.

Frederick.-Mayor Lewis H. Fraley
submitted to the Board of Aldermen
the question of the city investigating
in the next issue of Liberty bonds.
The Aldermen decided to defer action
until an audit of the city's financial
standing is completed. 1t is expected
that the audit will be completed and
laid before the board at special
meeting within the next week or ten
days. Mr.. Fraley stated that whether
or not the city would be in position
to invest in Liberty bonds would de-
pend upon what surplus the corpora
ton may have. In placing the matter
before the board he stated that the
corporation might as well buy bonds
at Az per cent interest as to put the
cash in banks at per cent. He said
he was in favor of investing in Lib
erty bonds and that if the audit shows
a surplus he would recommend lend
ing the Government as much as could
be spared.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD
Farms To Soldiers.

To allot farming land in Maryland
70 Maryland soldiers on their return
from the war in order to give wider
and more equitable distribution Of re-
turned soldiers who must earn a liv-
ing, to develop unused farm lands and
increase the agricultural output of the
State, is the object of a movement
fostered by DR.. H. J. Patterson, of the
State Agricultural College, and John
D. Douglas, editor of the Maryland
Farmer.
The plan has the support Of Frank
lin X. Lane, Secretary of the Interior.
It is said that a movement is on
foot among real estate brokers of the
Far West to sell irrigated lands to
returned soldiers and that lobby
to further this is already at work in
Washington. The plan of the Western
men will be fought by DR.. Patterson
and Douglas.
In discussing the advantages of hav-
ing Maryland soldiers take up vacant
land in Maryland DR.. Patterson, in an
article in the Maryland Farmer, says:
"Such a plan would do much to
stabilize agriculture and have the fol-
lowing advantages:
Il. Give a wide and more equitable
distribution of the soldiers.
"2. Enable the men to settle and
farm under conditions with which
they are familiar and thus increase
their efficiency.
80. Allow men to live near their
friends and amid congenial surround
ings.
a. Prevent the bringing of large
bodies of Western land into compe-
tition with the Eastern and Southern
farmers, as was the case in the allot-
ments made after the Civil War.
IS. Develop the unused and unim-
proved lands in the older States.
&c. Prevent the taxing, to any great
extent, of the farmers in the older
States for providing irrigation. trans
portation facilities, ETC., for lands
which are now distant from markets.
az. Enable the men to settle in Sec
tons which are already provided with
good roads, schools, churches, trans
portation facilities, etc.
IS. Place most of the men near the
big centers Of population; thus giving
them good markets. This would be of
mutual advantage to producer and
consumer"
