However, it is contended by Senator

fact that China refused 10 sign the

copy OF an alleged treaty entered into

October by which the two nations are

said Jimmy hut, Judging from the

opened as far as our country is con

Yes added Joe, I'm beginning to
think that they worked the whole
problem backwards. n the Senate

it might have saved time il the Sena-
tors had participated originally in the

Uncle Harry smiled at this and then
seriously he said 'lt certainly looks
as though we weren't out OF the
woods yet, as the boys say. when it
comes to ratification OF the Treaty OF
Peace and The Covenant OF the League
OF Nations.
And, despite President Wilson's over
lures TO the Senate, there has been
very little indication that the feeling
OF that body toward the President has
undergone any great change.
In fact as regards the Presidents

course would be unconstitutional, in
the opinion OF Senator Lodge and

appointment to me that IL was not en-
acted at the recent sessions How
ever, would be very glad to reintro-
duce my bill at the opening of the
special session and to renew my eff
forts and to do everything in my pow
er to obtain such legislation ct the
next session and to cooperate with
you in every way within my power.
Really, 1t looks to me like too good
and big thing to give up. / hope
there may be special session and
hope it may not then be too late and
that we may yet procure the legisla-
ton. Not to do so, in view of what
other countries have done. would be
shame and reproach."
What the States Are Doing
A large number of the state legis-
1atures have taken action by appro-
pirate legislation or by the appoint
ment of committees to cooperate with
the Federal Government in anticipa-
ton of the passage of soldier-settle-
ment legislation at the coming spe-
cial session.
In Alabama, for example, a bill
providing for soldier settlements has
been enacted and the legislature has
passed a memorial urging the state
delegation in Congress to do every
thing possible to secure the enact
ment of Federal law. In Arizona an
appropriate bill for cooperation with
the United States has been enacted,
carrying an appropriation of such
sums as are necessary for soldier
settlement work in the state In Cal
ifornia bills have been introduced
providing for cooperation in soldier
settlement with the United States,
one of which carries an appropriation
of 100000. The legislature has
also passed joint resolution urging
the adoption by Congress of soldier
settlement legislation. In Florida
bill has been enacted authorizing the
Internal Improvement Board to use
state lands for soldier-settlement and
to cooperate with the United States.
In Massachusetts a bill has been in
PRODUCED providing for a commission
for Independent state settlement
work and for cooperation with the
Federal Government for soldier set
Element. The bill carries an appro-
priation of 100000. In Montana
bill has been passed providing for CO.
operation with the Federal Govern
ment on soldier-settlements and car
irying an appropriation of $50, 900. In
South Carolina joint resolution has
been passed urging action by Con-
gress to carry out the soldier-settle-
ment program.
| These are but a few of the exam
pies of state action in connection
with the soldier-settlement move
ment. which is nationwide in its
scope.
But this was to be expected. The
plan has an appeal which cannot be
denied, for it marks the end of the
hardships of the pioneer retaining
his little piece of land on the out
skirts of civilization, and brings in
the era Of the community settlement.
Instead of life of loneliness, of in
dividual effort TO make a home far
from the civilizing influences of COM
munity life, the returned soldiers,
sailors and marines who throw in
their fortunes with the plan of the
Department of the Interior will be
brought together in community set
Elements of 100 or more families, en-
joying all the advantages which such
community life holds as distinguished
from the hardships and privations of
|single-handed effort.-Army and

Back To The Soil

Z OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

AS these lines are being written.
there are ON file in the Department of
the Interior over 10000 inquiries
from soldiers, sailors and marines
from every quarter of the United
States concerning the plan of the De-
partment to provide work and homes
for them on reclaimed land-provid-
ed funds are made available by Con-
gress.
Since. the publication in the Army
and Navy Register of August 10.
1918, of my letter to the President
and to the members of Congress. out
lining in general way a comprehen-
sive scheme Of land reclamation by
utilizing the labor of our returned
fighting men, much has been done.
Under an appropriation of $780,
600, the Reclamation Service, under
the direction of Mr.. Arthur P. Davis,
director and chief engineer, has made
a preliminary survey of reclamation
possibilities throughout the country.
Although the limited amount appro-
priated permitted only rough re-
connaissance, data were accumulated
and presented to Congress summar-
izing the approximate acreage of irri-
cation, drainage and cutover lands in
probably feasible projects in practi-
cally every state in the Union, total
ing 100000 acres. These lands
might be called the cream of the agri-
cultural possibilities among our un-
used and at present unproductive
land.
Bills were introduced in Congress
providing for the carrying out of the
plan and calling for an appropriation
of 100000 for the construc-
ton of soldier-settlements. but, al
though these bills were favorably re-
ported in both the House and Senate,
the congestion of business in the
closing hours of the session prevent
q, them from coming to vote. The
author of one of these bills, Congress
man Taylor of Colorado summed UP
our disappointment and our hopes as
follows:
II can only say to the House and to
the country, and to the many thou
sands of our splendid boys who will
be sorely disappointed by this failure
of the House to pass this bill or act
upon this subject, that l will intro
duce the bill on the opening day of
the next session of Congress and push
the measure with all the energy /
possess, and sincerely hope and be-
lieve that it will be speedily enacted
into law. And l also hope that in
stead of the appropriation being for
$10O,O00,O00, it may be five times
that amount, because even then we
will not, in proportion to our wealth
and resources, be doing nearly as
much for our returning soldiers as is
being done BY Canada. Australia, and
all other English-speaking countries.
] am not only confident that this
measure will be adopted, but firmly
believe 1t will 60 down in history as
one Of the great constructive policies
of our country"
Senator Myers said:
IT regard the failure of this legisla-
ton as a calamity. 1t is deep dis
