A note on reparation does not pro
test against the payment by Germany
for the devastation wrought In Bel
glum and Northern France, which It
says Germany is ready to do willing
ly. It Is added, however, that Ger
many will not pay reparation for
this damage on the principle that
ehe was responsible for the war.
The note on the question of pris
oners says:
"The German peace delegation
notes with satisfaction that the pro
ject recognizes the principle of the
return of prisoners of war and civ
ilians with the least possible delay.
The delegation deems that all the
details of tile execution of ' tills
measure ought to he submitted to a
special commission.
"Direct oral discussions letween
the commission and nearly all the
helllgeranta concerning prisoners of
war have been considered, even dur
ing hostilities, as the surest means
of solving the difficulties. It ought
today to be all the easier to recon

clear up certain obscurities still ex

"For instance, as a result of th?
diversity of viewpoint of tlte law In
the different countries Interested.
the German delegation considers It

this principle regarding prisoners of
war and civilians of the allied and

necessary for reasons of equity to

treatment of prisoners, military and
civilians pending the time when they
may return to their own country."

THE ASHLAND THINGS
Settlement Of Land
Is a Vital Problem
At the meeting of the state land
settlement commission held In Port
land Monday Charles U Wheeler
made the statement that next to the
construction of good roads the great
,'eat need of this state is the settle
ment of Its lands. According to Mr.
Wheeler there are 2,500,000 acres
of logged-off land In Oregon In ad
dition to the vast areas which may
be reclaimed by drainage and irri
gation, and all of it can be made pro
ductive. "Heretofore lumbermen have been
interested only In cutting and mar
keting their timber," continued Mr.
Wheeler, "but they are now waking
up to the fact that the land needs at
tention after the timber is exhaust
ed. They are realizing that burning
slashings and settling logged-off
lands is a protection against forest
fires. By 'leaving slashings on the
ground, the cost of clearing each
year thereafter will be increased $6
per acre, due to the heavy under
growth which starts.
"In my opinion this land should
be burned over as soon as the timber
Is cut, then It should be classified by
land experts and' seeded to grasses
and the logging roads should be
turned into wagon roads. This would
partly develop the land for settle
ment Then the land should be
handled on the same basis as the re
clamation of arid land thru Irriga
tion. Settlers should be given tracts
of 40 acres or more on easy pay
ments and at a price fixed by some
should be given assiutance In clear
ing five to ten acres of ground. With
five acres of ground cleared and in
cultivation, a cow, horses, pigs,
chickens and a house, a farmer in
the logged-off land may be consider
ed over the top and If he has 10
acres In cultivation, he Is able to
lay aside some money. The land Is
extremely fertile and will raise tre
mendous crops.
"If a man goes alone Into the
logged-off land. It will coftt him
alout $125 an acre to dear the soil
and he will Just alxut get a farm
started during his life. With several
working together co-operatively and
with, a stump puller, the clearing
can be done for less than $50 an
acre. By adopting some sort of
plan whereby the work of clearing
five or ten acres on each tract will
he at small cost to the settler, it
would not be long before our logged-
Orres Tailor Shop
Tailors For Men and Women
off areas would be covered with
farms. The big thing in this line is
proper supervision, and to me It
appears that this Is one of the
things the land settlement commis
sion should undertake."
Plans for installing a number of
farm settlement units . in various
sections of the state were discussed.
Five such project will be launched,
one of which will be near Indepen
dence, one In Central Oregon, one
in Eastern Oregon; orie in Southern
Oregon and another in the coast ter
ritory. The commission baa only
$50,000 for these units, but should
the state reconstruction bonds car
ry, $637,000 will be available for
the work, and should this proposed
federal land settlement , appropria
tion of $500,000,000 be made, a
much larger sum will be placed at
the disposal of the commission.

LAND0R HAD PROPHETIC EYE
Brilliant Englishman Correctly Fore
taw Dire Events of Which He Vain
ly Warned His Countrymen.
The pamphlet to Lord Liverpool and
the British parliament, written by Wal
ter Savage Landor in 1813, of which
two copies only are known to exist,
makes highly spirited reading. In it
he sets out, with keen concern and
much energy of Indignation, to crltl
clxe the magnanimity with which Eu
rope, and more especially England,
showed themselves Inclined to treat
Napoleon after the battle of Lelpslc,
Napoleon whom Landor regarded as a
crlmlnnl, fit only for the gallows. Of
Elba, he declared prophetically that It
was "a rat trap open at both ends, from
which It was impossible that Napoleon
should not escape." Was the congress
of Vienna, he asked in bitter scorn,
with its "well-dressed ambassadors
and Ingenuous state papers," to pro
duce nothing more lasting Jhan an
other treaty, of Utrecht? He called In
vain for the temper of Lord Chatham
which should deliver the country from
a mere "experimental peace." With
in a year of Napoleon's banishment to
the "rat trap open at both ends," he
was back In France, and Europe was
once more plunged Into war.
Laugh Reveals Much.
There Is the man who Is always smil
ing, whose whole person radiates af
fection and good cheer. Els Is the
frank, open countenance that makes
and keeps friends, for he has the true
spirit of good-fellowship.
He lg the man whom you enjoy going
to with good news, and of whose sym
pathy you can be sure when you are
in trouble. He is the friend, always,
that everyone admires, trusts and
likes, Just because he has the smile
that spells warmth.
A laugh Is a little thing, and appar
ently to Judge a man by his laugh
seems like making a mountain ont of
a molehill. But "straws show which
way the wind blows," and psycholo
gists assert that the little things are
the real Indices to character. So watch
out when your friends laugh, and see
if they are worth while. Rehoboth
