LAND FOR RETURNING SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-The COM
mittee on public lands of the senate
has unanimously reported in favor OF
bill appropriating million dollars
to make surveys of farms for return
ing soldiers. In it's report the com
mittee says the proposed legislation
is for the purpose of providing an
opportunity to procure homes for
those of our returning sailors and
soldiers who may wish them upon
their return from the war, as we'll as
giving a like opportunity to thou
sands of workers in munitiOn fac
tories and other war industries, who
at the conclusion Of the war will be
out of employment. 1t is intended
to promote as nothing else has "the
back to the land spirit"
It is recognized that one Of the
great evils of the times in our coun-
try is the overcrowding and conges-
tion of people in the cities, many OF
whom are utterly untitled for city
life and not adapted to the vocation
thereof. After the war this undesir-
able condition will be greatly inten-
sifed Further, there will be hun
dreds of thousands of young men who
will have returned from service in
our army and navy who will be out
Of employment and for whom there
will be no jobs or positions. In ad-
dition there will be thousands and
thousands of men and women, now
employed in the munition factories
and other war industries, which will
have to close at the end of the war,
who will be out of employment.
Many of them will have some means
which they will have saved at their
employment and with which they
could locate upon and improve and
and engage in agriculture, horticul-
ture, or livestock raising.
All of the above described classes
of people will be needed on the land
The land will need them and they
will need the land 1t should be the
object of the government and it is
the object of this proposed legisla-
tion to provide them with the oppor-
tunity of getting on the land. Fur
thermore, the object which this pro
posed legislation contemplates, if en-
barked upon by the government,
would afford employment to thou
sands of men who will be out OF
employment at the termination OF
the war, when there will be clamor-
ing for employment
This bill is in line with proposed
legislation suggested by the secretary
of the interior, and the committee
believes it of great Importance. The
committee further believes that it
should be attended to in ample time
and that no time should be lost in
doing SO. The war may end in an
other year, and if this scheme is to
be embarked upon at all no time
should be lost in doing SO.

THE RESTORATION OF RUSSIA.

While the news of the surrender of
Bulgaria was welcomed Throughout
all of the allied and most of the neu-
tral countries of the world, and while
the detection Of that little Balkan
state is having powerful effect in
demoralizing the autocratic govern
ments of the central powers, an event
which is perhaps of even greater i'm
portance in connection with the
worlds welfare has just occurred at
the city of Ufa (the capital of the
state of ufa) Russia, about nine
hundred miles east of Petrograd on
the line of the great Trans-Siberian
railroad.
The decentralization and temporary
destruction of all semblance Of re-
sponsible government in Russia after
the fall of Kerensky in the early part
OF 1917, followed by the disbandment
of Russia's enormous army and the
consequent release of Germany's east
Z y
ern army for service on her western
front, was the beginning of series OF
disasters to the allies which came
very near meaning the conquest of
France, England, italy and the entire
world by the Germanic alliance And
just as the destruction of the great
republic of Russia by Bolshevikism
and German propaganda was the
darkest calamity of the world war,
So this reorganization of powerful
central government at the foot of the
Ural mountains, representative OF
practically all of the peoples and
states of the former great Russian,
nation, seems likely to prove to be one
of the wars brightest events.
On October 7th, the Russian en-
bassey at Washington, D. c., was no.
, titled of the formation, at Ufa, Rus
sia, of provisional government
which has taken over, by what is
claimed to be rightful succession, the
powers of the Russian provisional
government of 1917. Similar com
munications have been received BIZ
Russian diplomats throughout the
world, and the various governments
are being officially notified by them
of the facts with reference to the
organization of the new central gov.
ernment, all of which indicates new
era of unity, liberty and prosperity
throughout Russia and Siberia, ana
the re-entry of the Russian people,
with a powerful army, as one of the
allies, into the great war for univer-
sal human liberty.
! This new government is proceeding
rapidly with the organization of an
army and has already raised more
than two hundred thousand soldiers
who are being given strict course OF
training under the direction of ove.'
thirty thousand officers. The acad-
emy of the general staff of this new
army is located at Tomsk, Siberia,
about one thousand miles east of Ufa
