Says the Houston Post:
Speaking of the relation OF land
to economic and political conditions
in this country, George F. Roberts.
vice president Of the National City
bank, of New York. declared recently
that statesmen OF Europe long ago
said that the real test OF American in
sttutions would come when our cheap
lands were gone.
He quoted Lord Macaulay as say
ing. AS to America. I appeal to the
twentieth century and the banker
adds. The free lands are gone; the
cheap lands are gone
Mr. Roberts was either referring
to only part of the country or
else he is very badly informed as to
| the facts. The cheap lands certainly
are not gone. There may not be any

law is of government institution and
makes explicit provision for confisca-

government property be exempted?
The American nation is opposed to
discrimination of any sort, especially
by the government against a private

that the postoffice building at Bir-

In the eyes Of the law. If this prop

Congressman Heffin may he right
in saying that German money is back
Of the propaganda to defeat the
League Of Nations. The gold in the
Reichsbank has been depleted, and
perhaps this is due to shipments OF
gold to this country to be used in ere
ating opposition to the league. Yet
We are skeptical. because we see little
opposition to the league except in the
senate. and of course no one there is
susceptible to gold marks. But when
Mr.. Heflin says munitions money and
gun manufacturers money is back OF
the propaganda to defeat the League
OF Nations We are quite able TO fol-
low him. The prevention OF war
would put an end to the munitions
business. which will be a good in
dustry to own stock in If the league

During the period of Federal control
the entire morale of the wire systems
was demoralized," says The Journal,
and continues:
Messages were taken with indif
ference and with no interest what
ever in the matter. They were sent
or not, and when inquiry was made,
as to reasons for non-delivcry of
messages always the customer was
met with a blank expression, and if
any explanation whatever was vouch-
sared it was merely that the govern
ment was responsible. All individual
responsibility was merged into a Fed
eral alibi and there was no appeal.
1T will be a colossal undertaking
to bring the thousands of employees OF
the wire companies back to proper
attitude toward the public. These en-
ployes have been coddled and spoiled
by the persistent attitude OF the gov
ernment toward the public, which

Photographs Taken by Altman Over
Mesopotamia Reveal Site of Once
Vast Metropolis.

Lieut. Col j. A Beazeley gives In
Geographical Journal Uondon, an in
teresting example of how photography
from an airship can extend our knowl-
edge. When making an aerial recon-
naissance in Mesopotamia over terri
tory occupied by the Turks he took a
series of photographs near Samarra
which shows distinctly the ruins of an
ancient city extending 20 miles along
the Tigris river and two miles and a
half wide, large enough to shelter
easily 100000 inhabitants.
This city would never have been
noticed on earth. since it is not marked
by anything but scattered hillocks. al
though pottery and medals had been
discovered on the site. But the photo
graphs show clearly its whole plan,
with its Notifications. canals for ir-
rigation, and streets.

passengers did not permit C0lane.

SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
Their System of Freight Transport
tation fs Obsolete.

That the war brought to France IN
object lesson in the utility of the
moiortruck as a means of freight
transportation appears In plans now
under way to develop a long haul
system. Ii is hoped thereby to quicker
the movement of goods and lessen
the impatience Of various business
interests with the slowness of rail-
way and waterway traffic. The prac-
ticability of the motortruck as a
freight carrier was a revelation to
Frenchmen of business who had de
pended in normal times on what would
be held an abnormally slow service.
From Havre TO Paris by boat means
often journey of at least three
months, and at the quickest, which
requires special arrangement with the
government, takes about fotr weeks.
Commenting on railroad transporta-
ton between Paris and the seaports,
a Paris business man is reported as
saying that from Havre one must ex-
pect delay of one or two months,
from Bordeaux a delay of two or
three months, and that when goods
fol- Paris reach Marseilles they stay
there" The humorous exaggeration
Illustrates the condition which is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project Of long hauls by motortrucks,
a solution which will probably de-
velop because the nation is already
provided with excellent roads.
