WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 17.
Stirred by vigorous criticism of their
dilatory tactics delivered by Con
gressman N. J. Sinnott of Oregon,
the house committee on Irrigation
has decided to hold another meeting
Saturday on the subject of tho bil
lion Jollnr reclamation bill.
"You should put this bill beyond
tho rhetoric stago in this congress,"
he said with emphasis in addressing
the committee. "All you have done,
gentlemen, has been to fiddle-faddle
and Indulge in beautiful rhetoric.
What wo demand, what the west de
mands, and what the returning sol
diers are going to demand. Is action.
I shall hold this committee and the
present national administration re
sponsible for this do-nothing policy,
and I shall see that the country finds
out who has stood In the way of this
much-needed legislation."

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 17.
Many a maq has come back more or
less disabled and hns been placed in
some sort of a Job In which charity
Is a moving consideration. A patri
otic employer of labor takes on one
or more of these men. They are not
doing anything of value they are
not expected to. It Is nn evidence
of patriotism that employers nre
ready to do this, and tho motives
actuating them are most praise
worthy, though misguided.
But, how long will these Jobs Inst
nfter the' first fever of patriotic im
pulses has waned? In the after
years tho war spirit will inevitably
calm down. In. the sharp competi
tion of business the useless expenses
must be cut, the handicap of dead
weights eliminated, and for one rea
son or another, these disabled men
will find themselves out of work
with no spocinl ability to do dnything
woll, nnd small chnnco to find any
thing else to do In competition with
skilled men. '
Those men vflio have been passed
upon ns eligible' for, or who muy be

huge scale, while British War Min

The American position opposing
this military policy remains un

The Russian siuation is again the
most important issue before . the
peace conference. The tentative
date for a Joint meeting at Prinklpos
expired Saturday without anything
being accomplished.
The supreme war council expect
