 The premier is pledged by his cam paigning speeches to sweeping pro gram of liberal reforms, particularly the giving of land ana houses to work ing men and discharged soldiers His principal advisers are regarded as rep of land owning interests. who, following tradition, would place barriers in the way of such reforms.

DIRECTOR OF WAR INSURANCE BUREAU PLEDGES EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION

regarding the war risk insurance and pay of soldiers.
 The inefficiency of the bureau of war risk insurance would be a bur lesque if it were not a tragedy" wrote Mir. Mann.
 In reply. Secretary Baker said the war department had jurisdiction only in cases where soldiers allotments do not carry family allowances. paid by the government, and that payment of allOtments by the war department are not in any way in arrears"
 Regarding pay of soldiers, Secretary Baker said troops in the United States were paid promptly every month. but those overseas were in the fighting line from July to November and that any delay in their payment can be properly attributed to consideration of their service"
 He added that sick and wounded men returned from overseas were paid in part on arrival at ports or hospitals. and payment now was being made on their personal affidavit as to amounts due them.

DENVER JUDGE TELLS HOW ROOSEVELT WISHED TO TEACH KAISER A LESSON

Judge Lindsey told of the fortitude Colonel Roosevelt exhibited in talk ing of the death of his aviator son, Quentin, but that his words and atti- tude showed a tremendous pride in his sons war records.
 By George he said" continued the speaker. If this war keeps up another year I won't have a son left. But that is the place for them. Right at the front"
 The judges talk was largely re- cital of anecdotes concerning the colonel He told of Roosevelt's ap- pearance in Colorado in the second Mckinley campaign when Colorado had not forgotten free silver" and how stones were thrown at the col onef as he passed down the main street of Cripple Creek But that night at the hall where Roosevelt spoke. a strapping Irish sheriff ap- peared with a brace of heavy pistols. The grim. but silent, challenge did it's work and Teddy" received no sign of hostility from his audience.

Secretary Lane Urges Immedi- ate Appropriation of Hun dred Million to Put Plan
 Into Operation Immediately
By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Immedi- ate consideration of the interior de- partment's request for S100,000, 900 for 000,000 acres of tillable soil in this country by returned soldiers was asked today by Secretary Lane at an informal meeting of members of con gress, held today in the house cham Der.
 Secretary Lane said an appropria- tion of $100,000,00O would be suffici- ent to put the plan in operation, al though a much greater amount could be used.
 However, $1OO,OOO.OOO will provide for the employment of 100000 men," he said, 'and will result in the de- velopment of 25,OOO farms and that will serve we'll as a beginning. It is absurdly small, but it will help. wish that an amount equal to the war cost for a week could be given, about $500, 100000, but I suppose that is too much to hope for"
 The secretary said there were great tracts of tillable soil in nearly every state. which can be reGaimed by draining or irrigation and that be- tween Washington and the southern end of Florida there is enough land to feed the entire population of the country if drained and cultivated. Inn mense areas in the west could be made ready for use by irrigation, he added, and at comparatively small ex- pense, thousands of acres of rich land in New York, Massachusetts and Maine could be put under cultivation.
 Send Men to Farms
 "The department proposes that gangs of men be sent to these tracts of land and put to work" he said. "They would be housed in comfortable barracks, furnished good meals, and paid current wages. Then after they have worked for one or two years and the land is ready for cultivation, we would tell them to pick out their own farms. Enough money to erect buildings and purchase implements would be furnished them and govern ment agents would be near always to give advice in regard to crops and markets. Village settlements would be opened with schools, moving pic ture theaters, halls and churches. The soldier-farmer and his family would be happy and the great danger the country caused by the movement city wards would be counteracted.'
 That soldiers are anxious 10 become farmers is attested. the secretary said. by the fact that hundreds of let ters are being received daily by the department asking if farms can be ob' tained No answers to these letters can be made. he said, because money for the project has not been appropri- ated by congress

TONS OF LETTERS ARE UNDELIVERED IN FRENCH PORTS
Assistant Postmaster Praeger Puts Blame for Delays on
 War Department and lnef- ficient Clerks With Armies
By Review Leased vire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. To - From eight to ten carloads of mail for Amer ican soldiers are undelivered in France, Second Assistant Postmaster General Praeger told the senate post office committee today, and thou sands and probably millions" of let ters addressed to the men overseas will arrive in New York soon to be sent to the dead letter office, where an attempt will be made to return them to the writers.
 Blame for the failure to deliver this mail was placed on the war depart ment by Mir Praeger, who again ex- plained that the army authorities han dle all soldiers mail in France, the postoffice department delivering out going mail at Hoboken and receiving returning mail at the French ports.
 Send Clerks to France
 Mir. Praeger said one way to i'm prove conditions overseas would be to send a force of experienced mail clerks to France to deliver the mail to the soldiers.
 ''The trouble does not lie at the French ports" declared Praeger. Tt lies in the interior. The mail gets tied up somewhere between army headquarters, censors and the ports"
 MT. Praeger told the committee that one reason for the confusion in the delivery of mail to soldiers was the failure of the war department to keep up it's index system. This same cause, he declared, also was responsible for the departments delay in sending out

tion and for federal incorporation of railroads.
 Among the proposals of the state commissions are that state govern ments should retain their control over interstate rates, that state regional directors should be created to assist the interstate commerce commission and that the federal commission and the state commission cooperate in all matters pertaining to railroad regula- tion.
 They oppose the plan for a secre- tary of transportation. and insist that the so-called twilight zone" of author ity between federal and state govern ments does not truly exist.
 The proposed legislative programs of these interests will be presented to the senate committee next week.
 Clifford Thorne, representing ship .pers' interests, gave out a statement saying. that although the railroad ad-
 Iinistration had tried worthily to eliminate rate injustices caused by the general advance, many orders developed that are arbitrary and un- just" without granting shippers a hearing For this reason he urged that congress immediately restore the rate suspension powers of the inter- state commerce commission by elim- mating from the railroad control act the clause which states that the orders of the president may supersede the common law and the statutes of the state and federal governments {; and require the director general to pay final judgments rendered against common carriers.

Strikers Refuse to Grant Short Armistice and Declare They Will Hold Out; Employers
 Refuse Eight-Hour Demand
Secretary Baker Fails to Bring Relief and Refuses to Act as Mediator After Finding U. s. Shipping Unhurt
tBy Review Leased Wire,

MEX YORK. Jan. 10.-No hope of early settlement of the strike which has paralyzed the port of New York for two days, was apparent tonight. Leaders of the ,000 workers on tugs, lighters and ferryboats declared em- phatically that they were prepared for a finish fight. Their employers, mem bers of the New York Boat Owners association, were equally emphatic in their assertion that they never would yield to the demand for an eight hour day
 The visit to the city late today of Secretary of War Baker led to the hope that his influence might result in an adjustment, but the hope was short lived. When the secretary left tonight for Ottawa, he gave no intimation that the war department would take a hand in the controversy.
 Government Not Embarrassed
 On the contrary, he said the strike had not resulted in serious embarrass- ment to the department. Returning troops were being debarked without delay, he stated, and there had been no UllGTIuDllOu lO llON Ol SupBllCo to the army overseas. Enough navy tugs are available for this work.
 MT. Baker said, A. H. Smith, region al director of railroads apparently has failed in his effort to arrange an armistice of from 4S to 72 hours in the belief that if operations were resumed the differences could be com posed by conciliation. No reply has been received by Mir Smith to a let ter sent by him to leaders of the union, but the strike committee an- nounced earlier in the day that they would not agree to an armistice.
 Revoke Exemptions
 The most serious development of the day was the decision of the strike committee to revoke all exemptions previously made This action called out men employed on fire boats and those running to islands on which are located municipal charitable reform institutions.
 There was no actual shortage of either food or coal because of the strike, but it was realized that the situation might result in complete paralysis of subway, elevated and sur face lines.
 After a meeting of the boat owners at the maritime exchange, it was an
