TO REFIT ARMIES FOR INDUSTRY

tai for agriculture after the war. These
holdings, he says, should be large
enough to enable the settler to grow
sufficient cereals and potatoes for him
self and family and to keep one or two
cows.
As for the Independent artisans in
class three, it would be for the inter-
ests of every community to do it's ut
most to attract labor to the land in it's
immediate vicinity.
Under class four. which would be
providing for peasant holdings, the dis
trict authorities and the provincial set
uement companies would have it to
deal with. These settlers would be
those who could command adequate
agricultural knowledge. those who be-
fore the war were tenant farmers,
farm agents, or belonged to the more
efficient class of farm laborers.
Herr Utsch believes that during the
first period after the war 1t will be
necessary to proceed mainly with the
establishment of individual settlements
near existing villages, for the settlers

Another article dealing with condi-

entirely different lines from the pen of
Z. ID. Sizzling, considers the extent in
which revolutionary ideas permeate the
German army and what may be the
outcome. The writer says:
The fuel of revolt is being heaped
up to await the torch that will set II
ahame. Competent observers foretell
that revolution will inevitably follow
the conclusion of the war. The
drugged and brutalized prOletariat is
waking from its trance. With organi-
cation and leadership the torpid Ger
man people will at last turn against
the false gods it has been worshipping
and dash them to the ground"

L0nd0n.-The British government is

task of demobilizing the army and the
reSettlement Of the soldiers into civil
occupations at the conclusion of the
war is 70 be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister of labor is
receiving careful attention, and it is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also is giving this subject
her attention and the series of articles
by Herr Ctsch in the Deutsche Land
wirtschaftliche PreSse considers the
proposed settlement on the land of sol
diers returning from the war.
Herr Utsch begins by pointing out
that it is national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
to support himself and his family in
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment, he says, due regard must
be paid TO the wishes and the capacity
of the individual and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization. for in no other do
main are the possibilities so great,
since vast tracts of waste land siill ex-

IN d u S trial


The cotton market was weak and un
settled again yesterday. The continued
favorable character of weather and
crop advices, with the bearish staOisti-
cal position and nervousness over the
war news, seemed to completely over
shadow bullish spot advices, and, except
for covering, there were few buyers
around the ring. July deliveries broke
to 24.4O, or 81 points under last nights
close and 145 points under the recent
high level. That month closed at 24.49,
with the market closing steady at net
decline of As to So points.
There were many overnight selling
orders at the opening and first prices
were II to % points net lower. There
was enough covering to cause some
irregularlty, but slight bulges increased
offerings, with the South among the
sellers, and the decline extended to
$500 for October during the middle Of
the morning, or about 81 to 66 points
net lower on the more active months.
Later fluctuations were Irregular, with
the close showing rallies of 10 to 20
points.
Another private crop report was pub
lished making the condition 80 per
cent, which was about in line with
previous advices. 1t consequently

1t was made plain at the annual
meeting of the American Iron and

the manufacturers were pledged to
deliver their output first for national
purposes, and that steel would be al

of Importance
The Fleet Corporation has contract
ed for new works costing upwards Of
mage of government orders at present
amounts to 16,S00.000 tons. Prefer
ence is given in delivery to ship plates,
shell steel and rails. Structural shops
under construction will call for 800, 900
tons to complete them, and to equip
the plants will require enormous ton
mage in heavy machinery and tools.
Ship steel in storage for Japan
amounting to 10000 tons has been
shipped, and $4,000 will follow later.
The increase in freight rates will
have a serious effect on the cost of
steel and iron, and may form the basis
of an argument for price readiust-
ment this month
Awards have been made for $4,000
axles, involving $4,000 tons, on the
government order for freight cars. The

Jamaica Bay Gets
Start as New Port
For New York City
First Municipal Owned
Pier on Shores Is OFF,
cially Dedicated

Jamaica Bay took the first step yes
terday toward a place of prominence
among the nations commercial har-
bors, when the first city owned pier on
IT'S shores was officially dedicated.
Thirteen other municipal piers are in
process of construction.
The future of the Bay was discussed
in glowing terms by Mayor Hylan, Bor-
ough President Riegelmann of Brook
Ign, Senator Calder and Dock Commits
sioner Hubert. They made the trip to
the pier aboard the police boat Patrol.
Air Greetings From Daniels
During the ceremonies of dedication
an aerial mailman circled over the 1000
celebrants, each broad sweep bringing
him lower. He volplaned and side
slipped from several thousand feet un-
til within a few hundred feet of the
ground, when he suddenly righted his
plane, and after waving his hand gaily

feet from the Patrol 1t contained a
message from Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to Dock Commissioner Hubert.
congratulatlng him on the opening of
the pier and mentioning the vital i'm
portance of rivers and harbors to the
nations welfare.
Mr.. Hubert, in his address. told of
his plans for making Jamaica Bay
world famous harbor. He said fourteen
piers of 1000 feet each, bulkhead of
two miles, from Barren Island to Mill
Basin, and the filling in of 200, 900 acres
OF swamps, will mean the realization of
this ambition
Mayor Hylan Landed the project and
told of the entire citys interest in the
development of Jamaica Bay.
Unqualified support of the new
scheme was pledged by Senator Calder
He said that New York's hope for ma
tional recognition and appropriation in
Washington rested in the House of
Representatives rather than in the
Senate.
Baked by Seniority Rule
Senator Wadsworth and myself,
though we represent more people than
thirty other Senators, have no more
power than they" he explained. in
fact, seniority has placed others at the
head of committees and often resulted

Public Works of Brooklyn, marshalled

OF the 47th and 18th Regiments, New
