/
SECRET SESSION OF
PLENARY COUNCIL
At Which Terms Will Be
Outlined Is Likely to
Be Held
Details of the procedure to be observed
at the historic meeting of
allied and German representatives
at Versailles a week from Friday
are being worked out by the allied
delegations to the peace congress.
It is improbable that the world will
know the exact demands of the associated
governments until after the
Teutons have been formally appraised
of the price of peace.
It seems, however, that not only all
the allied governments but the governments
of those countries which
severed relations with Germany but
did not enter the war, will be informed
as to the details of the proposed
treaty. For this purpose it is
likely that a secret plenary session
of the peace conference will be held i
before April 25. All England is
waiting with intense interest the
address which Premier Lloyd George
will make in the House of Commons.
Mr. Lloyd George has been under
fire from political opponents for
some time and the NorthclifTe publi
cations have been especially vigorous
in their attacks on his reported
activities at Paris, and he is expected
to reply to his critics. It is improbable,
however, that he will do
more than outline in most general
terms the work that has been done
by the peace conference, there being,
it is said, a tacit understanding between
Mr. Lloyd George, President
"Wilson and Premiers Clemenceau
and Orlando that no^ details are to
be made public at present. The fact
that the British premier has decided
tc open the debate in the House of
Commons, however, would appear ^o
indicate his readiness to defend his
work at Paris, and his defense may j
bring out some significent state- i
meats,
The council of four, in which Arthur
.1. Balfour. British foreign min
inter, has temporarily taken the
place of Premier Lloyd George, is at
present devoting itself to efforts to
settle the controversy between Italy
and Jugo-Slavia relative to the eastern
shore of the Adriatic. In addition
it is declared in a semi-official
French news agency dispatch that
the Schleswig-Holstein problem, in
which Denmark and Germany are it
odds, has been adjusted by the arrangement
of a referendum, to the
people of the province.
Anarchy in Munich.
Violent fighting has occurred at
Munich between German government
soldiers and soviet troops, the lattei
seeming to" have won at least a tern
porary victory. It is. probable, how
ever, that the battle will be renewed
the government forces having beei
reinforced. Anarchy is said to rcigi
in the city. Labor troubles are stil

Experts Find Abundant Acreage

Washington.?What does the plan
fc-r turning undeveloped lands into
farmsteads for home-coming Ameri
can soldiers mean to soutn varol:na
?
As the lands most quickly reclaimed
are along the coastal plain, the
question might reasonably be narrowed
to this:
'What does the soldier-farmer plan
mean to coastal Carolina, to Carolina
in the neighborhood of Charleston
?
The answer is that if the recommendations
of the Secretary of the
Interior are approved by Congress
tne plan means a chance at a colony
of from 1,200 to 1,600- soldier-farmel
8, with farmsteads of 60 to 80
acres each, making up a total of approximately
100,000 acres, or 12 1-2
square miles.
'Such a colony would entail for its
establishment in South Carolina an
expenditure of perhaps $10,000,000
by the government, for the revised
project of Secretary Lane contemplates
the erection of a house and
barn on each farm, t besides such re- {
clamation work as may bo required
to get the land, or a considerable j
portion of it, into condition suitable
for its cultivation by the soldier.
New Plan Quadruples Old.
Recognizing that this movement ;
must be put into efFect quickly if it
is to be of use to returned soldiers
set king employment, and also that
the movement must proceed on both
a generous and general scale "if it is
to succeed, the Interior Department
h: going to ask for the appropriation
of about $400,000,000 for the pur- j
chase, reclamation and equipment of
cut-over, swamp or arid lands capable
of profitable cultivation. This
is four times as much as was carried
by the bill which Secretary Lane
asked Congress to pass at the last
session.
Congress failed to pass the bill,

THE HORRY HERALD, CONV
but provided instead for an examination
and survey of the reclamable
lands of the country, so that when
the lawmakers met again they would
have the best possible information
at to the extent and location of the
reclaimable areas and as to their
availability for the returned soldier
employment project. The reclamation
bureau of the department went
to work at once, divided the nation
ir.to three parts for purpose of the
survey, and is now prepared to report.
Indeed, it may be said that the
machinery of the department ;s
ready to function on the plan of giving
the returned soldiers good opportunities
for productive farming
and is waiting on Congress to say
the word. President Wilson is on
record as heartily approving of the
idea. More than 30,000 letters have
been received by the Secretary of the
Interior from soldiers expressing a
wish to operate such farms as the
plan proposed. These letters continue
to arrive by hundreds every
day, and seem to refute the widespread
original impression that there
would not be enough soldiers desirous
of farming to take up the offers.
The Recent Surveys.
The survey in the sixteen Southern
States was conducted under tho direction
of Mr. H. T. Gory, consulting
engineer of the reclamation service.
In Virginia -three opportunities
were found within which areas it
would be easily possible to secure
suitable tracts of 100,000 acres each
for a soldier-farm community. Two
of these opportunities were along
the coastal plan; one in the Piedmont.#
In North Carolina, where
tnere is much mo^e unreclaimed land
along the coast than in Virginia, so
many opportunities were found that
the surveyors did not go into the
Piedmont or into the mountains.
They reported five opportunities in
North Carolina in the coastal plain,
and there are doubtless others elsewhere
in the State.
It is the tentative plan of the department
to have only one colony in
each State; therefore, the coastal region
of Virginia and North Carolina
can afford to have from two to five
times as many opportunities as the
government needs. Drainage of
swamp lands, by the way, does not
cost as much as clearing of cut-over
lands and this is another reason why
suveys have not been taken in the
mountains or in the piedmont if a

Location, Appraisal, Repayment.
Great care will be taken in working
out the process of appraising the
lands which the government is 1o
i purchase for soldiers. It is the indention
to insist upon official coop- [
1 ei ation by the States in those proJjects
somewhat along \the line of the |
read-building movement, and it is
considered likely that the following
scheme of appraisal will be recommended
by Secretary.. Lane: j
Reclamation service and State com ;
missions to agree upon the selection 1
o1' a location. Then they must agree i
that the price to bo paid is fair, or r
the service will refuse to go further. ^
When these agreements have been
reached as to location and price the ^
federal farm loan bank of the dis- I
trict must approve the price. Fi-(?
nally, the Secretary of the Interior ; {
must approve. j j
Land will be purchased only where ,
it can be obtained in thousands of ^
acres at a time. Each farm when I
the soldier takes it will have a house',
and barn upon it, and will have one- !,
fourth of its area prepared for plant!
ing and one-fourth reclaimed suffi- |
ciently for pasturing, but not for (
seeding. The other half of the farm
the soldier must reclaim for himself
if necessary. To gain full title the
soldier will have to spend at least
f.ve months of each year for five
successive years on the farm, and at
the end of that time must have repaid
the government for the house
and bam.
Plan Tentative, But Dynamic.
Remember, these are the tentative
ideas of the department. They are
yet to go to Congress in the shape of
a bill, and when that happens Congress
itself will doubtless have some
changes to make, But the guess is
that the movement has so much in
it that it is bound to go, and go

development of each country
might permit, was headed by the
Marchioness of Aberdeen. She assured
the commission of the sympathy
with the League of Nations by
their organization, the international
council of women suffragists of
the Allied nations, and she urged the
commission to consider the recognition
of the equal right of women to
sit in the league.

few for less period. What these

y Colonel Hunt.
"In practice," he said, "men sei*vg
ten, twenty, thirty-year or life
entences arc really sentenced to ineterminate
terms. When a man

The extraordinary small proporirn
of men convicted of serious offenses
in the American army was
m.phasizcd by Colonel Hunt. "Out

system we got into the army a great
