This pie did most thoroughly, with the re- he and Senator Borah, riult that account of this one item, forced the defeat of the naval bill on the 4th pf March, and made necessary this session. Senator King went to. pains to get at the bottom facts, and when he was fully informed he explained the situation to Senator Borah, who Joined with Mm In a determined attack upon the Alameda project. When Senator King UnU Senator Borah this session exposed the entire affair, nineteen Resome publican senators, including rge navy advocates. Joined them In trlking the provision from the bill. The Alameda provision had an Innocent appearance. It called for the (appropriation of only $l.f00.000 for the establishment of naval supply base. If It had been adopted, the government would have been committed to the expenditure of something like at Alameda, and the scrapping of the Mare Island navy yard, which hat cost the government $40,000,000. Aside from the great expense Involved, the Mare Island navy yard, as Senator iKing showed from official reports. Is the most efficient shore establishment maintained by the government. To begin with. Senator King divulged the fact that the Alameda site was really a quicksand flat covered wit-- i an average of about twelve feet of water. Although borings to the depth of iriO feet have been made, no solid 'foundation had been found. With a wtlid foundation, the cost of filling In the flat would have been $6,000 per acre. The navy department's plan, Senator King showed, called for over 6.000 acres, and as a result the government would have expended at least $30,000,000 in securing ground at the site upon which to erect its build- ' 1150,-000.00- 0 ing!'. In contending that there was no reason for the establishment of another base on San Francisco bay. Senator King submitted official reports to show that with an expenditure of $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 the entire needs of the new Pacific fleet could be provided for at the lower end of Mare Island. The senator simply overwhelmed senators with information from an official source to sustain his position In the Kven Senator McCorm-Ic- k controversy. of Illinois, who hart origally proposed the resolution by which another Ibase was to have been selected for Senator .Ran Francisco bay, Joined 'King in protesting against the paseage jof the Alameda provision.

The island empire might capture the Philllpplnes, Hawaii or even a part of our west coast, but when mighty resources and technical skill of this vast continent were once mobilised, Japan, unable to draw on bankrupt Europe, would be literally starved to her knees.

There hnve been two events in Washington recently winch are essential signboards of fundamental tendency. The first and most obvious is our refusal to Interfere in Silesia. This step marks the delimitation of America's new policy In foreign affairs. We are going to ask to "sit in," in fact, we are going to press our right to "sit in" in all matters as to which America has an interest. The theory of our new policy is that America's SENATE RECEIVES interest and America's right go hand In hand, but where America's Interest ends America's right ends, and that In STOCK LOAN BILL those matters where we have no right we are going to avoid entanglement. Broadly speaking, America's new policy Is that we have an interest in every economic matter taken up by the SENATOR STANFIELD OF OREGON PRESENTS BILL ASKING FOR supreme council, but that we have no AID FOR U. 8. 8TOCKMEN Interest In any political matter affecting Europe that may be taken up by that body.

' spection of District. In response to maiy Inquiries from men In the Middle West regarding government land grants, Irvin I. Feinrite, secretary of Argonne post of the American Legion In Des Moines, la., has made on lnvesiigution of th situation. "Persons desiring to make homes! eud entries," said Mr. Feinrite, "should first fully Inform themselves as to the character and quality of lands they desire to enter and should In no ease apply to enter until they have examined each legal , subdivision for which they make application. Satis factory Information concerning the lands may be obtained from a personal plsit to the district in which una wishes to take out hind. "Each applicant Is required to swear that he is well acquainted with the character of the land described iu. hi application and the only way that he can assure himself that prior settlers have no claim Ms to make a personal Inspection of same. "An man is required to tstablish residence on the land Involved after his entry Is allowed, un- ess an extension of time Is granted on account of sickness, climatic reasons or similar excuses. Credit Is given for service In the Army, Navy or Marines, providing the applicant has had eighteen months of service. If such Is the case, tl.e applicant is required to live on the land only seven months. If he obtains so much credit for military service that there Is required only one year's residence, he must prove only such amount of cultivation as will prove his good faith as a homestead claimant. If his credit for service requiresnmore than one year's residence, he must show cultivation to the extent of of the area of the land beginning with the second year. Regardless of credit for service, all applicants must prove that there Is a habitable house on the land. "There Is only one portion of the country where land may be obtained without the requirement of a homestead. At Sentinel, Arl?., there are 10,000 acres open, for which no homestead is required, hut which necessitates the payment of seventy-fi- r dollars for three hundred and twenty acres and an expenditure of on dollar per acre for Improvement. This Is arid land which may be used for cotton raising If Irrigated. When Irrigated, it sells for from two to three hundred dollars an acre. It la estimated that the cost of Irrigation on three hundred and twenty acres Is about $10,000. "Approximately 132,000,000 acres of land are open, Including every state west of tho Mississippi river except Iowa and Texas. The first thing to' do Is to decide on the state. Then, gft the location of the land offices in that state. All "blank forms of affidavits and other papers may be obtained for the district office In which th land lies. "Inking out a homestead Is not a speculative proposition. If the applicant can afford to establish himself for the period required under the homestead laws, taking advantage of the credit allowed him for service In the World war, he will be well repaid rfter a few years." th BACK TO NATURE FOR HEALTH Man is Attending College In Bathing Suit and Living in , Pup Tent.
