employment TO every man who wouic
need work. and that almost irnmedl-
ately. As an immediate program Sec
retary Lane suggests the government
should first offer an opportunity o.
present irrigation projects. and that
such tracts should be developed under
an appropriate land settlement plan.
As a second step he urges an apprO-
priation for one or more OF the lsrr-
est irrigation schemes for which sur
veys are in an advanced state Pr
vately owned land could be bought BY
the government al an appraisement
made by the Farm Loan Board anc
subject to the approval OF the Secre-
tary OF Agriculture as 10 fertility %
soil and desirability OF location.
The acreage allotted TO each soldr
should be limited to that which wi
be sufficient to reasonably support a
family. The program involves the rs-
turn to the government with interest
OF all moneys advanced by IT, The
important consideration, concludes the
Secretary. is that the land and the

DATE OF SIGNING
PACT Indefinite
State Department Lacks
Any Information as to
Time Required Abroad.
By DWG
pv!A4

State Department officials yesterds Y
expressed the opinion that the sign
ing Of the protocol or preliminaries
to peace by the allied and German
delegates by January l6 is highly i'm
probable.
Predictions made in foreign centers
that the preliminaries would be ready
for signature when the German dele
gates arrive in Paris together with the
report that the agents Of the central
powers had been requested to apear
January l6 gave rise to the belief in
some quarters here that President
Wilson would be able to accomplish h
the major part of the program within
five weeks OF his landing and would
be able to return to America before
February.
As yet no indication has been re-
ceived by diplomatic agents here OF
the nature of the program to be fol-
lowed by the allies in the formation
of a defnitive peace treaty. The be-
lief is general however. that the
greatest task confronting the dele
gates is a unanimous agreement upon
the underlying principles for the final
peace treaty. such principles being set
forth in a series of declarations COM
posing the preliminaries.
Officials attached to foreign agen-
cies here were agreed yesterday that
much progress undoubtedly has been
made by the allied leaders and Col.
House in outlining some Of the con-
Ventions of the preliminaries.
1t was pointed out that allied and
American officials have gone freely
into Alsace-Lorraine and in addresses
openly recognized that the return
TO France of Alsace-Lorraine is to
all intents an accomplished fact.
The State Department is inclined
to discredit the report that Polish
soldiers will occupy any German ter.
ritory, stating that no advices have
been received indicating that any
change has been made in the arrnis-
uce terms. Officials incline to the
belief that even il the revision OF
the armistice terms now in process
should call for the occupation Of Po-
sen. no movement of troops would be
made in anticipation of such revision

 to produce gold under present condi
 tions. Of course, the government can take over many of the mining properties and in that way absorb their losses; such procedure encour. ages paternalism to too great an ex. tent; in fact, paternalism has already gone beyond safe limits. If the gov. ernment took over mining properties and met with losses it would be obliged to cautiously and gradually readjust conditions, as it would be Possibly it would be wise for the government to encourage gold pro duction either by granting a temper ary royalty or through exemption of the payment of taxes.
 Tt may be pertinent to state here that in theory gold is absolutely ines sential in carrying on our banking system, but the disuse of it requires a degree of intelligence in the banking community that is almost impossible to secure. In other words, the bank CT would be thrown entirely on his judgment of character in dealing with individuals demanding credit; further the situation would entail a knowI- edge of political and economical con ditions which it would be almost i'm possible for him to possess.
 Gold is used. therefore, as 1t serves as a barometer and this proves splendid guide for bankers in car rying out their financial operations. Therefore, the discontinuance of gold as the basis of our credit system can not be thought of. The present ser ious financial and economic condition can be corrected. No matter what is done, however, it is impossible for us to escape the readjustment which is necessary on account of the frightful losses due to the war. There. is one way to meet the situation, and that is through thrift, economy and efficien-
