 mands, and There Is No Doubt of Plants Coming.

 | Plant to Cover Over,Nine Acres.
 The buildings of the syrup plant will cover probably three acres, while seven more will be needed for experi- mental purposes. The main building will be three stories high. All build ings will be of brick. The site has not yet been chosen.
 Secretary Bloom of the Chamber of Commerce, in an interview with The Graphic last night said that he was very much pleased with the results of the Sorghum campaign" and that indications are that not the required 5000 acres of cane will be raised, but that over $500 acres would eventual ly be secured as pledges to secure the Sorghum Company here.

>Soldier! soldier! where'll we put he soldier? That is the puzzle game now up to the United States and it's Allies. The boys are coming home. We are going to give them Tone beeg, gran welcome" as John ny Canuck puts it. But, after the excitement has worn away what are we going to do? Are we going to repeat the mistakes made at close of the Civil War and let our heroes shift for themselves becoming in many cases objects of charity or in mates of Soldiers Homes? Or shall s.e make an effort to fit each-man with the right work and help him to become substantial member of his community?
 Canada has had four long years for the study of this problem Her

COM, HOOY[R'S ETERNAL CITY
 RELATION OF WILL RECEIVE
 RELIEF WORK US. PRESIDENT
In Belgium and Pitable Con- dition of Million and Half Who Escaped G 6 r m a Il Ravages

Washington, Jan. 1.-Relief work being carried on in northern France by the commission for the relief in Belgium and the pitable condition of the 1,500,O00 inhabitants of that sec tion who escaped the German inva- sion are described in cablegram re- ceived at the headquarters of the com mission here, from Herbert Hoover, at Paris.
 Mir. Hoover's message, made public tonight, revealed that the work of re- lief and rehabilitation in France will fall more heavily on the commission than had been expected. The destruc tion wrought by the German army was so complete, MT. Hoover said, that relief work must include not only fool and clothing, but housing over a considerable area.
 An enlarged organization to handle the situation is being built up and supplies have been obtained from the quartermaster's department of the American army. A large amount of second hand barrack material has also been taken over from the army and navy, and 150 volunteers from the American navy are experimenting the villages for the inhabitants.
 Industrial life in the invaded re- zion has been almost completely par alyzed MT. Hoover said. Railroads 1 have been rendered almost hopeless of reconstruction for many months, the coal mines have been destroyed and there is scarcely single factory that can be operated without very large portion of new equipment.
 "The destruction of some twenty 1 principal towns and literally hun dreds of villages renders the return of these refugees a stupendous prob lem' the message said. Every effort is being made to restrain them from going back until some systematic pro- vision for shelter can be completed but they evade all official urgings and the roads are continuous procession of these pitiable bodies Thousands of them reach their villages to fine every vestige of shelter destroyed, ant finally wander into, the villages fur. ther back from the acute battle ares which are themselves already over crowded to heartbreaking degree.
 New York, Jan. 1.-The American committee for relief in the Neal
 East announced tonight that it hat
 received notification from Herber
 Hoover, who is now in Paris, that i
 can obtain food supplies from tht stocks which the food administratio,
 will establish at the Eastern end D
 the ,Mediterranian.
 In endorsing the work of the com
 mittee, MT. Hoover pointed out tha
 the United States government can
 not furnish financial aid to the peo
 ples of the Near East, but that the. need help. On account of tte lacI ) of responsible governments thrcugf
 which the United States might ac officially, relief has to be left tt public benevolence.
 !, The committee, therefore, vii ; purchase it's food supplies from tn, : stocks to be established by MT. Hoo , yer and with the cooperation o
 the food administration, from tn, 5 sections of the Near East, in whicl there is a surplus of food.
 The chief cause of starvation il
 the Near East is said to be lack 0 ~ transportation.

wounded and discharged have been coming back in a steady stream dur ing this time and plans for education and assimilation have had time to be tested. Perhaps the most successful plan is that of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company which seeks to induce the soldier to take up farm ing. The benefits of this plan are two-fold: it takes care of the soldier and it ensures an increase in food production.
 This scheme is an amplification of the company's successful Ready Made Farm project. It aims to place the returned soldier on, a farm pro- vided with living and working equipments. The farms are grouped into communities known as Soldier Colonies" Only soldiers may settle
