II General Crowder Pays the Soldiers.

From Washington there comes re.
port that General ENocH H. CEowDER
Is to be relieved Of his duties as Pro-
vost Marshal General and assigned to
the task of paying the soldiers.
Nobody doubts General CRowDER's
ability to clean up the mess incompe-
tence, red tape, and unpreparedncss
have created in the pay department.
His record Is the guarantee OF his
efficiency.
But is General CRowDER the only
man In the military establishment
who can tackle this Job with fair
prospects Of success?
Is there not under the stars and
eagles and other insignia Of the army,
outside of him, sufficient amount of
genius to devise and apply n pay sys-
TEN that will not keep soldiers and
their families waiting months for the
money Uncle SAM owes them?
Among all the men who have Joined
the colors in the last two years, is
there not at least one other with
enough capacity for orderly business
management to install an accounting
practice that will meet the require.
ments Of the army?
The implication Of General Crow
DEE's unofficial nomination for this
Job is that he and he alone can do
the work. If this is the case, if II il
actually a fact thar nobody exccpt
General CEowDER can pay the soldiers
promptly, If the United Statcs Is uf.
tcrly dependent on this one individual
for the administration of the army
pay roll, we should be told about it.

quainted with locations and with the
nature Of the soil, volunteered for the
employment.
The second plan proposed by the
Secretary would have to wait upon
action By Congress, but with tho far
reaching importance Of the social and
economic factors involved 1t Is reason
able to suppose that Congress will
act soon upon the advice of the Sec
Rotary. This plan Is simple, although
It requires investment Of Federal
revolving fund, to be repaid under
the terms specified in the law Great
Ing national irrigation projects. IL
would urge" Secretary LANE sayC,
ian appropriation for one or more Of
the largest schemes for which sur
veys are In an advanced state" The
special advantage Of this, as of the
FIRST plan suggested, Is that 1t pro-
vides immediate employment for thou.
sands Of demobilized soldiers In en-
terprlses which. in turn, provide land
for them to farm.
The third plan would also have the
value Of the others, but
would be more or less experimental.
The Secretary suggests that the Gov
eminent undertake "the draining Of
the most promising projects [of
swamp land reclamation, Govern
ment owned land preferred, but II
privately owned, to be bought at an
appraisement made by the Farm Loan
Board"
There Is no legislation which calls
for more prompt and wise action.
Here are plans which propose solu-
ton Of two gravely important prob
lens affecting the food situation of
our own and other peoples; immedl-
ate employment for soldiers, ultimate
supply of land for soldiers, an i'm
peratively needed increase In food.
1t Is not suggested that the plans
are perfect or that they will accom-
plish all that must be accomplished !;
but they promise something, and prom

Solving the Soldiers Land Problem.

he makes clear the major projects
favored by him in attacking the great
problem of providing land for SOL
dlers. lie has three plans in mind
which seem practical and, what is Of
great Importance, capable of immedi-
ate development and of giving en-
ployment to soldiers in the process Of
preparing land for their own use.
There is arid land which can be
brought under water through the op.
Grafton of existing irrigation sys-
tens, but the land needs to be lev
elled, ditched and put into physical
condition to receive the water. This
work would not only supply employ
mcnt for soldiers in preparing land
for themselves, but would give them
wages to be used in securing their
first necessary farm equipment. This
plan could be put into operation as

Ny husband belonged to Company F..
Second Engineers. and spoke OF helping
the marines and running tho Huns The
engineers lost quito a few Of their men.
He also wrote that the Second Engineers.
along with the whole Second Division,
won n great name for themselves, and
that the French claim that division to
be the best over there.
I also heard last week a marine back
minus n leg tell of the Second Engineers
giving them much help. He said they
fought right alongside the infantry Of the
division, We do not like TO give all praise
to one organization. l am sure all our
boys made good, but it is a pleasure TO
see that one officer appreciated the work
of his men and wanted them to have
the credit due them.
