Although he is personally con-
WINGED that monarchy Is the best
form of government for Germany,
Won Hindenburg realizes that any
attempt to re-establish it noW-or
probably for years to come-would
mean a bloody civil war. His guild
ing principle as outlined exclusively
to International News Service to-
day will be peace with the whole
world and law, order and unity
within Germany.
Replies Through His Son.
Through his son, Major Oscar Won
Hindenburg, the field marshal
answered the questions put to him
by the correspondent and gave the
high spots of his proposed program

trusted friend, Lieutenant Colonel
Won Feldmann, who Will ne MS

Anxious To End Strike.
The writer explained to Won
Hindenburg the views OF the out

HUGE LAND

ASKED
Railroad Grant of 1000, 900
Acres Contested by U. S.
Forest Service
By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
With 4O,OOO,O 900 acres of West
ern territory at stake, the North
Pacific land grant controversy
took a sensational turn today
when the Government called upon
the Sinnott joint congressional in
vestigating committee to recon-
mend forfeiture of all lands ever
decided to the railroad.
This demand, requiring an act
of Congress, was made by the
forest service of the Department
Of Agriculture in opening the
Governments "case."
Scores Of Cities Involved.
If carried out, the forfeiture
would turn back to the govern
ment a tract of land crossing half
the continent in an eighty-mile wide
belt from Wisconsin to Oregon.
The grant, on which scores of
cities are built and millions of acres
now owned by individuals. was
given the railroad during the Civil
first transcontinental line to the
coast.
The Forest Service drew this
mighty track into the controversy
in replying to a claim by the rail-
road for 100000 additional acres
for losses" on its original grant.
The issue came before the Con-
gressional committee for a decis-
ion when the railroad sought to
acquire $30,000,000 worth of the
governments choicest forest re-
serves in payment for these
losses"
Bases For Demand.
In demanding forfeiture of the
whole grant, the Forest Service
commended:
/. That the railroad failed to
construct 1907 miles of its line
''in the time required by law, there
by rendering the granted lands
subject to forfeiture"
2. That the railroad charged
more than $3.50 an acre for land
Fsold to settlers along it's right Of
way, in alleged violation of law.
3-That these sales were also in
violation OF law because they were
not public.

along it's right Of way in 1854 and
an additional grant Of 100000

told the committee that the second
grant placed a time limit on the
construction Of the road and limit
Of $3.50 an acre on all land sold

railroad violated both limits, which
were made by act Of Congress.
More Than Paid for Road.
The Forest Service also contested
the railroads claim for additional
acreage, charging 1t had expended
only $70,000,000 to construct it's

that from the sale Of lands in the
