Two Plans for Soldier Farms.

Secretary WILSON'S plan for help
ing those soldiers who want to go
back to the land Is communistic; Sec
rotary LANES, by comparison, is en-
lightened political economy. The lat
ter programme would provide work
for soldiers at going wages in Fed
eral projects for redeeming land for
farms by drainage, irrigation and by
clearing cut over timber land. Land
thus made available for farming
would be sold to soldiers upon easy
terms, but terms which would recoup
the Government for all costs.
Secretary WILSON wants the Gov
eminent to purchase privately owned
land for the soldiers. Aside from the
easily imagined political pulling and
hauling, the purchase of undesirable
land, overpayment and other evils
which would inevitably attach to Gov
eminent purchase Of millions of acres
the Government would lose beyond
calculation in ignoring the present
opportunity Of using thousands of
trained workers. easily organized into
great and efficient working force.
young men eager for land who. by
the methods suggested, would con-
vert millions of acres now worthless
into valuable farming lands.

The status Of Parole Agent Reynolds.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: An
item in THE Sun of December 10 rela-
tive to the exclusion OF James NJ. Rey-
nolds Christian Science chaplain" from
Sing Sing is incorrect both in its facts
and implication. Mr.. Reynolds has not
been prohibited from holding Sunday SER
vice in the chapel, and the monthly tes-
timonal meeting in the visitors room.
as heretofore, but has been forbidden
admission to the shops and grounds in
common with other welfare workers.
Mr.. Reynolds Is not and never has been
chaplain, but is voluntary welfare
worker who for nearly six years has
been interested in improving the lives
of the inmates AS parole agent he has
had the care OF more than $50 liberated
men, for whom he has secured positions
and exercised that friendly oversight, in
terest and encouragement which paroled
men so much need. That no one of
them has returned TO a disorderly life is
the best evidence OF the kind OF work
he has done. During these years Mr..
Reynolds has saved the State a great
sum OF money. besides helping many men
to better living. There is absolutely no
foundation TO the statement that Mr..
Reynolds sis slated for prison post
when Governor-elect Smith takes office"

limit Of Government operation or to
do anything else with them beyond
what already has been done. On
the contrary, aside from cleaning up
its unfinished business with as little
mischief or offence as possible, this

The Biggest Job That Any Type
writer Ever Undertook.

BY republishing the text of the So
called Pact of London Mr.. VILLARD's
Nation incidentally suggests the d.
mansions of the job that is ahead Of
a certain illustrious typewritlng ma
chine now on its travels.
The Pact of London is the agree
ment entered into on September 3.
1914, by Great Britain, France and
Russia establishing solidarity on the
part of the Allies with regard to
peace terms. When Italy entered the
war her Government also became a
party to the compact.
After engaging themselves to con-
clude no separate peace the Allied
Powers recorded this declaration:
The three Governments agree that
when the terms of peace come to be
discussed, no one OF the Allies will de-
mand conditions OF peace without the
previous agreement of each of the other
Allies"
Except with regard to Russia,
whose Government has been over
thrown, this compact Is as tight as
a drum, as inflexible and inevitable
as law of nature, as valid rs the
almanac for 1919.
Our Government is not a party.
The United States Is not one of the
Allies. The representatives of our
treaty making power are free to de-
mand whatever conditions of peace
the negotiating Executive can induce
the Senate to ratify. In concluding
peace on our part we are not bound
by formal agreement 70 insist on
nothing which has not been approved
In advance by Great Britain, by
France and by Italy. The method
proposed in Senator KNox's resolu-
ton Is as clearly open to us in honor
and good faith as it is clearly sane,
sensible and American.
But If a certain typewriter is to
assume the role of King of Humanity
and realize its own regal or near
regal ideas about the Encouragement
of European boundaries and the regu-
lation of the future destinies of Eu-
rope, 1t will not be enough for it to
convince France and Italy as against
Great Britain, or Great Britain and
Urance as against Italy, or Great
Britain and Italy as against France.
IL must convince all three, for all
three are bound by the Pact of Lon
don to unanimity of action.
All the splendid celebrations in
honor of America and the friendly
welcomings of the American President
along the line of procession from
Brest to Rome and from the Monte
Quirlnale back 10 the Thames En-
bankment cannot alter this central
fact of the situation.

The UnOff1cial but Authentic Log Of

nent member. With a stan drawn from

little different each trip. Among the
transient editors there appeared the au-
thor of The Foolish Dictionary" which
came out some years ago, Mr.. Towne's
efforts being manifested in rhymes OF

trip Lieutenant Streeter who has de-
lighted so many thousands with his
"Dere Mable" letters, delighted others
with more such letters dealing with a

too, q reputation for improvldence,
which may account for that squan-

defences Of Ehrenbreitstein and AS
terstein, could dream himself into q
feeling Of perfect security for the
Fatherland. Coblenz Is out of the
Munich and Wurzburger zone. The
people are no judges of the products
Of these Bavnrlan cities. But they
know the products of the Rhine and
the Moselle valley vineyards. The
good wine Of these valleys flows In
ceaseless streams into Coblenz to be
bottled, doctored and sparkled. A
good share of it is sent out to the
world; there Is too much of It even
for Coblenz, Its tourists, Its visitors
and its great companies of officers to
consume. In fact, Coblenz ia gay I'M

General March Gets a Medal.

General PEYToN c. MARCH, Chief Of
Staff, is one of those fortunate men
to whom opportunities have come to
win distinction in many fields. AL
prove his capacity as leader of men,
an organizer of vast enterprises, and
an administrator of great affairs.
The Distinguished Service Medal has
appropriately and properly been be-
slowed on him, and the circumstance
that this honor was recommended by
General PERsHING is symbolical of
the fact that an army is not merely
an aggregation of combatants, but an
intricate body of interrelated units,
each essential to the others, and all
serving the supreme purpose of the
nation in war.
There has been considerable irri-
tation among army men and civilians
because in certain cases men of no
particular value in any capacity have
had so-called bombproof Jobs, which
carried with them the privilege of
wearing an honorable uniform. This
feeling of resentment has found ex-
preston in complaints that require
painstaking examination. An I'M
worthy man in uniform deserves the
contempt of all, but before contempt
becomes audible he should be proved
to be unworthy. THE Sun has fire.
quently pointed out that in the corps
of the army which have to do with
the supply and sustenance of the
forces on the first line there have
been since the country went to war
thousands of individuals who re-
garded their detention from the thea
tire of battle as a terrible hardship
and injustice. They were too useful
in the posts to which they were as
signed to be released for the duty
they coveted, and their desires were
of necessity subordinated to the de-
fence of the country.
In the person of General MARCH
these men may properly be said to be
typified. Nobody will question his
courage, his professional skill his pa
triotism. Nobody will doubt that, de-
spite the Importance Of the post he
has filled, his personal inclination has
been to be present with the combatant
forces. General MARCH had a par
ticular reason to wish for service in
Europe; he had been In France, and
done the onerous work of organizing
the artillery for the American Army.
He must have longed to see his plans
in operation, to observe in what de-
tails they called for amendment, to
provide for new situations, to impro-
wise methods of meeting emergencies.
But he was needed In this country,
and to this country he came, here to
win new praise.
Thus he stands ms the representa-
tive of hundreds OF thousands of his
comrades, some of thom, like himself,
