CREDIT FOR FEDERAL LAND.
Large Government Holdings MOI a
Disadvantage to Western States
i'm Building Of Highways.

States like Wyoming. in which title
10 Il large percentage of the area is
still held by the national government,
will not he handicapped thereby in the
building of IL national highway system,
through the operation of II measure
recently introduced in congress by
Charles Il. Townsend, United States
senator from Michigan. and incoming
chairman of the committee on postof-
fees and post roads.
Il have given his matter very seri-
Gus thought stated Senator Town
send. because any basis of distribu-
tion which did not take into account
these large government holdings would
not only be manifestly unfair to those
states but would present serious diff
culties in accomplishing my primary
purpose, namely, "A connected system
of interstate highways.
ut is perhaps not generally under
stood that unqualified title is held by
the federal government TO 39.5 per cent
of the total area of the United States.
Included in this domain are national
parks, forests, Indian reservations, ba-
sic material reservations, water sheds,
national monuments and other areas,
including millions of acres of public
lands.
"In some states the federal is far
larger than state and private holdings.
As examples, i'll Nevada the federal
government holds 90.6 per cent of all
the land area in Wyoming, T1.9 per
cent in Arizona, 71.2 per cent, and in
Utah 1913 per cent. while in each of
six other western states the govern
ment holdings are so per cent or more.
OBVIOUSLY, under such conditions,
states with sparse populations and
small taxable areas, and generally low
in valuation as well, could not develop
their highway facilities if the fedora
government restricted its own activi-
ties by failing to allow credit for the
national holdings.
"To meet this condition l nave in
cluded n provision i'll my measure
which says that in states where there
are federal holdings. the actual road
mileage shall be taken us ii relative,
and that the mileage of national high
ways shall be based upon the actual
mileage plus the same rate of mileage
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT areas. To
Illustrate, if a state has 10000 miles
of highway, while 30 per cent of the
area of the state is held by h fed
eral government, the states share of
the national highway system will be
based upon II total of 10000 miles of
highway. instead of 10000 miles, thus
doubling its allotment of national high
ways. / should mention in this con-
~nection that the general plan of the
bill is to construct a total mileage of
national highways in any state not to
exceed five per cen of the total mile
age of highways in that state"

DENVER YARDS SHOW BIG GAIN.
Destined to Berome Greatest Feeder
Market i'm the World, Says o. w.
Allen, Representing Yar5A

Ia o. W. Allen, the ht;stling -eprescn-
tative of the Denver Union Stock
Yards Company, spent Tuesduy and
Wednesday in Saratoga looking after
the interests of his company. Owing
to a confusion of dates, Mr.. Allen nail

tion meeting his year, as hc had
planned to do. From here he goes to
Big Piney to attend the ROheO On
June 20 and 81, to be given by the
Green River Valley Fair Association.
Mr.. Allen reports Il considerable in
crease in the business of the Denver
yards from Wyoming during the past
year, and states that the increase in
shipments from the Platte Valley to
that market was very noticeable. He
prophesies that the Denver nlarket is
due to become the greatest feeder mar
ket in the world, owing to the quantity
and quality of Wyoming and Colorado
cattle marketed there, and which in
variably top the markets when they
leave the feed lots Of Ohio, Indinna,

the military and civil authorities of France and Italy, the Y. M. c.

"Y' work CTS have served in Mesopotamia, in Saloniki, in the Portuguese army, among the Chinese labor battalions, and in Russia.
 The work in the home camps has been "at the peak" for more than a yea. Nearly 5000 workers are in the home camps and cantonments, but far the greater number of them their war service is nearing the end. On the other hand industries whose war production has been accelerated by the program of the '. M. C. A. are demanding a continuation of this service during the period of recon struotion.
 1t has been the boast of the Y. M. c. A. that the Red Triangle went everywhere with the army except over the top. The review declares that for months the troop train or troopship that has not had "" man to serve the boys has been the exception. Ar ransements have been made to nave "Y" secretaries return to America with the units to which they were at tached during the fighting and occu- patton periods. For three months after being mustered out the soldiers are to have full membership priv ileges in the local Y. M. c. A. without cost. Finally, it is announced. that the war program of the 'Y' will be continued as long as there is a uni formed unit overseas or in the demob- iliZatiOn camps.

Y. M. [. A. REVIEW EXPLAINS CHARGE OF CANTEEN FEES
Only Criticism Aimed at Branch of Organization Which Has Increased Five Fold in Few Months Mott

NEW YORK, Jan. A review oi the year which the Young Mems Chris tian association regards as the great est in the history of the organiza- tion in effort and accomplishment was made public today by the associa- lions war work council. The review deals with the complaints of canteen overcharges made by some of the re- turning soldiers, refers to the war de- partment investigation which, 1t says, exonerated the "Y," and states that because of frequent reiteration of these and other complaints by re- turning soldiers. John R. Mott, gen eral secretary of the war work council, has asked that the entire administra- tion of the Y. M. c. A. war program overseas be investigated by the in spector general.
 Tt is our judgment" says pr. Mott, that these complaints should be frankly and fearlessly faced. If we were to ignore criticism we would be false to our trust It is our duty to discover the unfounded criticism so that a patriotic organization, as IldlLGE OI nOuGotsf may AAOb CO blighted unjustly It is equally our duty to discover the well founded crit icism in order that we may adopt constructive program that will obviate in our future policy any lax admins tration of the past.
 'Is it true that the Y. M. C. A. has been guilty of profiting in the opera tion of its post exchanges overseas? The following telegram from the third assfst stant secretary of war, Frederick P Keppel, is self-explanatory:
 "Matter of prices asked by Young Mems Christian association for its articles sold in canteens overseas already investigated by war depart ment and conditions being remedied. Young Mems Christian association originally asked by General Pershing to run canteen for army on cost basis. To do this had to reckon in price fixing such overhead charges as transportation charges and marine in- surance, so that prices were much higher than in this country. Young Mems Christian association made no profit, but lost thousands of dollars. Arrangements now made will enable them to obtain supplies from sources that will reduce overhead charges and keep prices down

tribution to the review of the year that 700 workers and 140 tracks were assigned 10 this area and operated successfully in the face of great diff. culties
 As an instance of efficiency. the review mentions the agreement made
 with the Red Cross, Dy which dupli-
 cation of service was avoided and
 the Red Cross assumed responsible
 ity for the entire war service pro.
 gram in the hospitals, the "Y" con- lining its efforts to providing for the welfare of the men who were not in
 valided This work, from figures furnished by the construction depart ment, is now being carried on in more thar 150O huts and about 400 other buildings, hotels, theaters and leave area resorts.
 The Y M. c. A. now operates seven distinct leave areas in France. The soldier on leave may take his choice of mountain, country CT seashore re- sorts. Facilities for accommodating tens of thousands of men at one time are operated. In these leave resorts, as in the camps and trenches the "" provides the home, club, church, theater and school. Except for occa- sional reduced period vaudeville per formances in the leave areas all the service is without charge to the men, says the review
 Motion picture entertainment, ac- cording to the reports, has been given without cost to an extent that the ''Y'' estimates could be duplicated in this country only at a box office in- come of $4,000,00O. This is based on the operations of an average month. during which 5000 shows were given to a turnstile count of 5,9S2,000 men from the American and allied armies. Nearly 90 theatrical companies, re- cruited in the United States, were sent overseas by the Y. NJ. C. A. to entertain the soldiers and the men were encouraged to develop amateur entertainments among themselves. To this end 25 professional coaches were sent to France, hundreds of one-act plays were loaned to the men for their shows and costumes without number were supplied.
 In athletic sports the records of the "" state that the soldiers had the use of nearly a million dollars worth of sports equipment and entered into great mass athletic games under the leadership of several hundred sports directors. That this program will continue during the winter is shown by the shipment of athletic supplies valued at s173,OOO during November, 1918,
 An activity which was not on the "Y" program at all one year ago has now become its most important func- tion Under the direction of the Y. NJ. C. A. army educational commission hundreds of thousands of soldiers are to have school facilities during the period of occupation and demobiliza- tion. Correspondence courses will play an important part in the system. The most elementary subjects will be taught and men mechanically qualified will be admitted to French and Eng fish universities.
 Nearly all of the activities which have been set up in the American forces are to be found in the French and Italian armies. At the request of

 the widespread rumor is most unfair
 to an organization which is doing
 heroic service
 Criticism of the "Y," the review
 states, was thus leveled at branch
 of the associations work which was
 multiplied in volume by five-during
 the year. Receipts of less than $1,-
 100000 in the post exchanges system
 last January had grown to more than
 $5,O00,000 a month by September, 1918, and since then have maintained that level. At these post exchanges, millions of dollars in remittances to the folks at home have been handled without charges by the "Y."
 One year ago, according to the re- port of the personnel board of the Y. NJ. c. A, there were fewer than 1900 "Y" men and women overseas standing by the men in uniform. From figures available on December Is, 1918, it is estimated that today there are 604S men and 1895 women in "Y' uniform overseas. Women are now being sent overseas at the rate of 100 a week for work with the army, in the leave areas and debarkation ports of France aud England.
 The Y. M c. A refers with pride to the response of the men and women of America to the associations call for service with the colors, and re- calls their war record and the list of casualties among these civilian work CTS. The "" casualty list, complete only so far as the list of dead is con cerned, follows: Nine workers, two of them women, were killed by shell fire while on duty; 23 were wounded or gassed severely; many others re- ceived minor injuries, and 31 died in the service, chiefly because of ex- posture and overwork Also, on the records of the personnel board are the names of ten workers who have been decorated for bravery by the United States or allied armies
 In every major engagement in which American troops took part, the review adds, the Red Triangle of the r. M C. A. was in the thick of the The report records that a "" woman was the first American woman in Chateau Thierry. During the German drive which was stopped at the Marne the "Y" lost hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sup plies which had been assembled where they would be most needed. During all these engagements of the spring and summer, the review states, the "Y" workers gave away to the men in action more than a million dollars worth of smokes and sweets, not drinks and other comforts. Sup ply trucks were used as ambulances and the "" stretcher bearer drill proved its value in actual practice.
