Farms for Soldiers.

The most intelligent and compre-
hensive plan before the last congress
looking to solution of the problem
of unemployment after the war was
the land reclamation scheme Of Sec
rotary Lane. The bill was lost in the
eleventh. hour legislative scramble.
Now Mr.. Lane is ready again to
offer his plan. expanded and worked
out more in detail, when the new
congress meets sometime in the near
future. 1t is program that cannot
well be ignored by those who realize
two facts: first. that a great number
Of returning soldiers are not content
to return to their old tasks. but seek
work with wider opportunities. and.
second, that the United States has
vast territories Of undeveloped but
developable land.-Philadelph Pub
lie Ledger.
When the government develops
markets for those now in the farming
game so that a gift farm to soldier
is not a gold brick, then We shall be
willing to vote for Secretary Lanes
plan, and not before. Just now the
"wider opportunities" Of which our
wise contemporary speaks so glibly
are decisions and snares worthy of
the last Congress if it had had time
with all its other follies. But for a
Republican Congress to embrace
Lanes plan under existing conditions
would be at par with the Maine
Legislatures, gift to the Democratic
scheme of buying labor leaders, for
political uses with higher salaries to
do nothing than they ever earned.

Never Again

One hundred years before Christ
100000 Germans invaded France,
numbering, burning. pillaging as they
went. At AK en- Provence they were
stopped and defeated. They sued for
peace and swore they would never do
it again. Sixty years afterward 240,-
900 Germans invaded the Jura dis
tricts of France. Six years later 4O0,-
900 Germans invaded the Jura dis
tween the Meuse and the Disc. They
were beaten. They swore they would
never do it again.
Sixty years before Christ the Ger
mans invaded the left bank of the
Rhine. Two hundred and thirty years
after Christ the Germans invaded
France. They were beaten. They
swore they would never do it again.
Twenty years later another invasion,
another defeat, another solemn
pledge never again" In PA A. d.
the Rhone basin was invaded by the
Germans; in 275 Northeastern
France. In 301 Langres was pillaged.
The invaders were beaten and they
swore never again." In ISL they re-
conquered the left bank of the Rhine.
In 1854 they devastated Lyons, in $50
Besancon. In 1854 they invaded and
plundered Belgium.
Here is tn, chronology of the sub
sequent invasions: 372. 3S2, 400. 41O,
413. 800, S5S, 97S, 1924, 1914, 1919. 1921.

1744. 1872, 1893. 1914, 1916, 1870, 1914.
Thirty-three invasions in little over
fifteen hundred years. an average of
one invasion every fifty years.
Whenever they were successful, the
Germans celebrated With unspeakable
atrocities. Whenever they were
beaten they swore they would never
do it again. )

fore the outbreak of the world war
Herr Haase, the German Socialist
leader. solemnly declared at Brussels
that the German proletariat would
oppose war to the utmost. Three
days later Herr Haase voted for the

-Four and a half years ago the Ger
mans again invaded France. Again
they were beaten. And now they
swear they will never do it again
New York Tribune.
We had been impressed by consid-
cradle evidence that they are not

with authority to give assurance that
some element Of Hun hellishness shall
not throttle a neighbor tomorrow?
Thus far We have no record of a
single expression Of repentance. or
even Of pity for the victims they
wantonly ravaged. They destroyed
