convenes May 10. there win be intro
duced bills covering the farms -for-sol-
diers plan.
Briefly the department is saying that
II such legislation is passed, work win
begin at once in the development of
cooperative farm settlements for SOL
diers and sailors in nearly all of the
states. In radically every state in
the union there are large areas of
land suitable for this purpose. There
is dry land in the West that needs
water, which can be provided by build
ingNdams and canals. In the East are
large areas OF cut-over or Iogged-off
timber lands from which it win be
necessary to blow the stumps and clear
off the underbrush. In the South is a
large amount of cut1over land and
49, imp land which must be drained.
.Iany of the soldiers have asked if
it win be possible for them to obtain
a job near their homes by draining,
clearing. irrigating and improving
these lands. That again depends upon
the action of congress in proviging
the money for construction. The plans
propose that these settlements be scat
tered all over the country. SO that it
would be possible for every honor
ably discharged soldier or sailor or
marine to work near his old home.
There would be work of all kinds in
connection with these settlements. from
the highest technical and clerical po-
sitions to that of laborer.
The plan involves the new farm
idea" in that there will be built what
are known as community settlements,
each containing number of farm
homes, so that the men viii have near

After these service men have build

after they have helped to erect houses

roads and laid out town sites, built
creameries, canneries, warehouses, and
schools, after they have in fact re-
claimed the land. the government in
tends to allow the men to pick out one
of these farms. The plans provides
that these farms and homes shall
be paid for in small payments over
long term of years. 1t is expected
that the men will be able to pay the

FOR MEN.

Washington, May 17.-With an ever
increasing flood of men returning home
from the war to take up anew the
tasks of civil life, many of them with
greatly changed ideas of life and am
billions and in a quandry as to Just
what to do. are appealing to the de-

to the intentions of the government
in it's proposed plan for providing
farms for soldiers. As.sssa
Such deluge of requests has been
received from the men who wore the
uniform as to emphasize the lesson of
all other wars that the service men,
because of army life, with its open
ness an dactivity, largely seek out-of-
doors vocations.
The interior department has already
explained to more than 10000 men that
the development Of its plans rests
solely with congress. Tt is expected
that early in the extra session which

anee can be paid from the proceeds
from the sale of crops.
It is planned that the government
win also furnish the new farmers with
the necessary stock and farm tmple-
ments, these to be paid for in small
payments spread over several years.
These farms will contain from forty
to eighty acres for general farming
purposes, from eighty to one hundred
and sixty acres for live stock purposes.
from fifteen to twenty acres for fruit
farms and from five to twenty acres
for truck farms.
Competent instructors in form prac-
tice will be stationed on each project
to teach the men how to make sue
cess of farming. This will make II
possible for men who know nothing
about farming to make success Of
these farms. The plan is to be open
to every man who has worn Uncle
Sans uniform in the great war.

effective. But even this privilege is SUBJ
ject to stringent definition, and rightly so.
The commanding general must approve
the visit. The period of duty to which
the private or officer is assigned must be
sufficient to justify the reunion. The re-
quest for it must come from the soldier
himself. There is almost the implication
of irony in this last proviso, but at least
it definitely assures the "home folks OF
a sincere and hearty welcome.

Major Ian Hay Beth tells an amusing
experience of an American officer with the
commander of a British tank in French
village. "We got there rather more easily
than I had expected" said the colonel.
"When our men reached the little market
square the reason revealed itself in the
form of British tank squatting plumb in
the center, having. beaten us to it by about
four minutes. The usual infant was in
charge. When he saw our senior major he
scrambled down, saluted and formally
handed over the village. The major saluted
back and thanked him. Then the child said,
kind of thoughtfully, Still, We wish some !,
how that he had something to show, sir, that
we were here first The major thought a
minute Then he said: 4 can fix that for
you. I'll give you receipt for the village
And he did, concluded the colonel amid a
rising tide of laughter: " Received from

lighter penalty than she planned to in
flict upon the nations which dared to dis
pute her right to rule the world. She
talks about justice. If justice were done
to her she would be wiped off the face
of the map. If financial concessions are
made they will be made solely in the in
terest of an enforceable peace and not
through any sentimental sympathy with
her misfortunes.
1t would be foolish to ask her for more
than she is able to pay, but it would be
criminal to ask her for less.
If Mr.. Wilson is holding out for the
full sum nominated in the original draft
of the treaty it is because Mr.. Wilson
believes that she can pay it.
But if we would remember that much
that is given out from Paris in these days
is for political effect in England and in
France, and has little relation to the
final terms of the completed treaty
we shall not be misled into believing that
the peace delegates are weakening in
their determination to hold Germany as
fully accountable as possible for her
many offenses.

THE serious charges made by Scna-
tors Lodge and Borah regarding the
alleged access of "Wall street Interests"
to the complete text of the peace treaty
are wholly unsuted to expression
through the medium of hearsay, rumors
or circumstantial tales. If th.re has
been a "leak" detrimental to fair play
to the Senate thai b dy deserves to be

THE INEVITABLE LOBBYIST

WHEN the capital of the nation was
w moved from Philadelphia to Wash
ington the eder statesmen of the period
were moved by belief that Congress
could function more efficiently, more
wisely and with greater benefit to the
country at large if it were permitted to
do its work and its thinking in a place
far away from the headlong tides of bust
ness.
Congress was supposed to be safe for
ever from contact with the interests of
selfish materialsts when it was estab-
lished in the District of Columbia. There
the members of the Senate and the
House were to be melted to idealsm by
a sense of aloofncss and dignified soli-
tude. They were imagined as having
withdrawn from the noisy world to medi-
tate gravely and to go about their great
tasks without any danger of being
swayed, harassed or influenced by con-
Germs of worldlings or affairs unrelated
to the nations welfare.
Lobbyists, hordes of lobbyists, under
various suave designations, arrive i'll
Washington for every session of Con-
gress. There are few important utilities
or interests that have not unofficial am
bassadors snugly established in offices or
hotel suites at the national capital. Lum-
Der and mine corporations, banks, rail-
way corporations, oil and land companies,
farmers associations, associations op-
posed to this and associations opposed to
that, have Washington representatives.
In Harrisburg and at every state capital
the emissaries of materialism crowd in
upon the Legislature and they are not
alone.
Whenever some one decides that he
knows more about government than Con-
gress or the Legislature he organizes an
association hires a press agent and ap-
points a Legislative representative" at a
big salary. The tumult and clamor, the
pickering and the Juggling that attend
many sessions in Washington and at Har-
risburg and in Legislatures elsewhere are
the natural and inevitable result of these
attempts at unofficial government.
Lobbyists in Washington are not so
bold as they used to be. They are not
cheerfully tolerated in the corridors of
the Capitol But they move contentedly
in corridor conferences at the hotels and
are practced dinner givers for green con-
gressmen and green senators.
The increasing compleXity of the eco
nomic system may make such unofficial
representation understandable to some
extent. But the lobbyist, under whatever
name he moves, is a living denial of the
theory that members of Congress and
the Legislature are elected because they
know what is best for the country or
their communities and are fitted to act
not in the interest of any special group,
but for the good of the great masses of
people who do not have lobbies organ
lied in their behalf

MUSIC ON A HUGE SCALE

LMINENCE in any artistic field is
= often subject of rosy generalities.
Not so, however, with Philadelphia's
claims for recognition as music center.
These are most impressively and tangibly
substantiated in the interesting array of
facts and figures submitted by Arthur
Judson, manager of the Philadelphia Or
xchestra, at the recent hearing in Harris
burg on the bill authorizing Sunday con-
certs.
1t was revealed there that this city has
205,0O0 students of music, that it has in
vested $20,000,000 in properties solely
devoted to music, that SS8,O0O,0O0 is re-
ceived annually here from the sale of
musical instruments, musical scores and
through musical entertainments, and
that Philadelphia musicians earn more
than 100000 year.
Although consideration of the local
musical status in such practical terms
may be repugnant to the esthete, it is the
substantial vigor here disclosed which
gives validity and significance to one Of
our major artistic pursuits.
Music is indeed lively factor in the
development of the city's cultural life
For many thousands of persons it is a
prime concern. Acquaintance with these
facts should make for clear thinking in
addition to providing stimulus for

CLEEP on brave lads in Flanders fields,
~ As year by year the poppy yields
Its wealth of beauty in whose blow
Your life blood's color seems to glow!
Your call was heard twas understood
BY freedom loving womanhood.
We gave our men folk, stffled pain,
So that great prize We died to gain
Might not be lost on battlefield.
And mid the years that come and 60
Somehow we would that you might know
That womanhood with all it's soul
Your deathless valor shall extol
And with devoted zeal will pray
That till dawns Gods eternal day
Ye sleep in peace in Flanders fields.
