Land for Soldiers.

President Wilson in his cabled mes
sage again directs the attention Of
Congress to the plan Of the Secretary
Of the Interior known as the Gland
for soldiers and sailors project" The
President for the second time urgent
ly recommends the immediate and sub
staqtial support Of Congress TOR the
plan. There is every indication that
the bill carrying the appropriation
which will enable the carrying forward
of the soldier reclamation and settle
ment work is strongly Endorsed on
Capitol Hill. 1t promises solution to
the employment problem, increased
prosperity to the individual states, the
qualification of the ambitions Of
Americas fighting men, long ad-
vance toward checking the drift from
farm to city and sure return to the
government on large. part Of the
money invested. The fighting men are
coming home, 100000 month The
Opportunity to materialize their
dreams should be presented them at
the moment of their rehabilitation
not after the necessities Of the hour
have induced them into other less con-
genial occupations. The iron is red hot
now!
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1919-05-22

thought necessary by the conference,
and they have occasioned much con-
troversy.
The treaty itself and the Presidents
explanation of it may put many Of
these rumors out Of business. They
will inaugurate discussion based upon
text and fact. Both advocates and op-
ponents will be served by them, mas
much as both in their arguments can
refer to them. The result will be open
opinions openly arrived at from open
sources of information. With the pub
l:cation of the treaty and the delivery
of the Presidents message all secrecy
and its influences will disappear.
1t is not likely that the President
will be heckled during the delivery of
his address to Congress, but it is
thought not improbable that should
further information be desired by
members of that body it may be form
ally requested in some way. At the
dinner at the White House last winter
the legislators who listened to the
hosts explanation of the league of ma
tons were expected to interrogate him,
and several did so. And their ques-
tions and his replies added great deal
to the already absorbing interest the
subject had excited.

Trotaky's Intercepted Message.

Evidence that there is a secret I'M
Outstanding between the Hungarian
reds and the bolsheyiki Of Russia is
disclosed in the interception of wire
less message from Trotsky to Bella
Kun, by q code recently arranged by
airplane. It says: "Hold out at all
costs; keep on presenting a fair face
to the allies, thus fooling them until
we are in possession Of Rumania."
This should serve to thwart any plot
of bolshevik. Hungarian cooperation.
The allies need not be fooled in the
face of this warning, thus fortunately
given by the detected message. Evil
IDENTIFY there is work to do in Hungary
and in Rumania The red menace is
by no means checked, and it may be
necessary to take the field to prevent
the crushing Of Rumania, which should
be preserved from the bodsheviki at
all hazards.

echo Cho."

1t was happy thought to make
'Cho Che" the clown expositor- of the
principles of health at the bureau Of
education's exhibit in the Interior De-
partment exposition now being held
in this city. In no better way could
the fundamentals of the health crusade
which is being conducted in the public
schools Of the country be impressed
upon the children's minds. The ex-
Carnations and antics of "Cho Che"
emphasize in the most lasting man
uer the "do's" and the "don'ts" of the
health crusade catechism, and it is for
mate that arrangements have been
made to carry this demonstration
throughout the country.
1t is estimated that there are at
east 100000 undernourished chill
dren in the United States, and 10000
900 who are suffering from some phys
ical defect that might be prevented
or corrected. Through the bureau of
school hygiene a work is in progress
that is calculated to lessen these num-
bers greatly. The children by millions
are enrolled as crusaders of health.
They are learning lessons Of cleanli-
ness and personal hygiene and diet
that will stand them in good stead dur
ing their years of growth and in the
years to come. "Cho Che" is merely
the exclamation point in the warning
that is being given the children to
safeguard their health through clean
illness and proper eating.

Suffrage Wins.

Yesterdays vote in the House where
by the woman suffrage amendment
was adopted may be accepted a. an
indication Of sufficient change Of
sentiment for enfranchisement to
carry the resolution through the Sen
ate Is we'll and to lay it before the
state legislatures. Already changes
have been noted in the upper house,
and it is believed that two-thirds will
vote for the resolution when it is
brought up for final consideration.
When the House last voted on the sui.
frage amendment it carried by an e.
act two-thirds, a victory less pro-
nounced than the supporters expected,
but nevertheless sufficient. Yesterday
3o4 voted for the amendment, with SO
against, or more than three to one, a
margin Of ~ votes more than the nee.
esssry two.thirds. Nothing can more
clearly denote the steady trend Of
opinion in this country for the admis-
sion Of women to full political rights.
The House having made this resolu-

The American Legion.

As an evidence of the feeling of the

ton of the American Legion, the new
ly formed organization of veterans of
the great war, which has voted to allow
the Washington posts a representation
in the national convention as though the
i District had two senators and two rep
resentatives sitting in Congress. When
the matter was brought up at the st.
Louis meeting of the legion Col. E.
Lester Jones, commander then Of
Pershing, now George Washington,
Post, advocated the recognition Of the
Districts potential strength of repre-
sentation in Congress, and noted that
this city had furnished more comba
tants than some Of the states with two
representatives. This carried the point,
and consequently the District is now
established on its proper basis with
other departments.
In this connection it is worthy of
note that Washington may be the site
of the national headquarters Of the
American Legion. To this end the
business men Of the city should inter-
est themselves in making provision for
facilities here to accommodate this
large and important organization.
Washington is being constantly chosen
as the administrative center of large
representative bodies, such. as the
United States Chamber Of Commerce,
the American Federation of Labor, the
Knights Of Labor, the Anti-Saloon
League Of America, the National
Grange, the National Education Asso-
citation, Daughters Of the American
Revolution, National Woman Suffrage
Association. National Congress of
Mothers, National Geographic So
ciety, American Federation of Arts,
{ American Forestry Association, Amer
lean Mining Congress and others whose
names do not Immediately come to
mind.
It is only fit that the American Lee
gion should locate here as well, and it
will be to the advantage of the city to
secure this headquarters, and to that
end the business men of Washington,
through their representative organiza-
lions, should take promptly in hand
the matter of practical provision be-
fore some other city shows sufficient
enterprise to overcome the natural in
clination Of this new association, which
lis certain of great development and
growth, to establish itself at the seat
Of government.
