Foreword.
"The ending of the Great War has
brought peace. But the only safeguard
OF. peace is social justice and con-
tented people. The deep unrest so EN-
phatically and so widely voiced
throughout the world is the most seri-
Gus menace to the future peace of
every nation and of the entire world.
Great problems face US. They cannot
be put aside they must be met and
solved with justice to all.
I'm the hope of stating the lines that
will best guide us in their right solu-
ton the following pronouncement Is
issued by the Administrative Commit
tee of the National Catholic War Coun-
Gil
Replacement of Men in Service.
"The first problem in the process
of reconstruction is the industrial re-
placement of the discharged soldiers
and sailors The majority of these
will undoubtedly return to their previ-
Gus occupations. However, a very
large number of them will either find
their previous places closed to them or
will be eager to consider the possibility
of more attractive employments. The
most important single measure for
meeting this situation that has yet
been suggested is the placement of
such men on farms Several months
ago Secretary Lane recommended to
Congress that returning soldiers and
sailors should be given the opportunity
to work at good wages upon some part
of the millions upon millions of acres
of arid, swamp and eut-over timber
lands in order to prepare them for eul-
tivation President Wilson, in his an
nual address to Congress. endorsed the
proposal. AS fast as this preliminary
task has been performed the men
should be assisted by government loans
to establish themselves as farmers,
either as owners or as tenants having
longtime leases.
Farm Colonies.
sit is essential that both the work of
preparation and the subsequent settle
ment of the land should be effected by
groups or colonies, not by men living
Independently of one another and in
depressing isolation.
"a plan of this sort is already in
operation in England The Importance
of the project as an item of any social
reform program is OBVIOUS. 1t would
afford employment to thousands upon
thousands, would greatly increase the
number of farm owners and fndepend-
ent farmers and would tend to lower
the cost of living by increasing the
amount of agricultural products. If it
is to assume any considerable proper
tons it must be carried out by the gov
ernments of the United States and of
| the several States. Should it be under
taken by these authorities and oper-
ated on a systematic and generous
scale it would easily become one of the
| most beneficial reform measures that
has ever been attempted.

WINE, MILK, HONEY
WAS TH|EF'S MEAL

Some time Thursday afternoon or
night the residence of Father Meise-
kothen was enterd by someone with a
small hand and small feet. The Cath
olic priest had been away for a week,
attending annual retreat at Grass
Valley. He returned this morning
and has been busy all day straighten-
ing up his belongings. thrown every
where by the intruder. He said this
afternoon that nothing is gone from
the house, as far as he can tell now.
Possessions were found strewn all
over the house when the caretaker
went there yesterday morning. Every
drawer had been pulled out and the
contents scattered, trunks were
broken open, locks broken and papers
scattered everywhere. A tin contribu-
ton box was torn open. but was
empty, the priest says. except for two
foreign fifty-cent pieces, one Of which
was taken. A brace and bit had been
used to bore hole in a closet door
that small hand could be inserted
to turn the spring lock. Footprint
found outside indicate the intruder
was probably woman, but perhaps
a boy or girl. Because of the thor
ough manner the theft went through
the house 1t is thought more likely
an adult was the perpetrator. Moth
ing was overlooked in an apparent
search for money, even a roll of cot
ton being pulled apart; the lining OF
a drawing-instrument case was torn
out, etc.
Finally the would-be thief appar-
emily decided OF get something for thu
trouble. so went to the dining room
secured dishes, crackers, honey an6
milk. and topped of the banquet by
drinking bottle OF wine.

MORE GRAZING LAND
MAY Be AVAILABLE

A copy of bill introduced by Sen
fator Henderson, requesting the ad-
dition of 10000 acres of grazing land
to the Humboldt forest, has been re-
ceived. In an interview with the
Elko forest Office 1t was stated to a
representative of the Elko Free Press
that this bill was the result of a
series Of requests made by Nevada
cattlemen to add more grazing lands
to the national forest reserves. thus
giving additional range under the re-
Estrictions of the government.
/ Government regulation of grazine
lands in Nevada has met with hearty
enthusiasm, 1t is said, and has ten
dency to protect the interests of Ne
vada cattlemen against outside COM
petition. While the tracts mentioned
in Senator Henderson's bill have COM
|paratively small importance as forest
lands, it is possible that the bill
will be passed in the interests of the
|cattlemen of the state.
The following is copy of the bill
BE it enacted by the senate and
the house of representatives of the
United States of America in congress
assembled, That the president be, and
he is hereby, authorized to add tc

vada. any lands within the following
described area, which are found by
the secretary of agriculture to be
chiefly valuable for the production OF
timber, the protection Of stream flow
or the regulation and improvement
of grazing thereon, said lands to be
