SOLDIER APPROVES FARM LAND PROJECT WASHINGTON, Juno 21. Although nearly a hundred witnesses have appeared ap-peared before the house public lands committee to argue for and against Secretary Lane's project of farms for soldiers and sailors, its was not until today that a soldier was heard on how enlisted men regarded the proposition. Private Einil Lehman of E company, 326th infantry, was the witness. He entered the committee-room seeking information in-formation regarding the proposal, and Representative Scott Ferris, Democrat, Oklahoma, insisted that he take the stand. Lehman was rather reticent. "Well, it looks as though it is a mighty good thing," was the most he would say.
