WASHINGTON, August 22.~When,
the soldier of 18‘5 laid down his rams:
to take up a civil occupation. he turn-g
ed westward to a matchless public do-
main which he helped to develop into
the world's richest farms and cities.
The Government was able to point the
way to a method by which the return-
ed soldier was able to turn his talents
for a livelihood. and the Government
now is laying the ground work tohave
similar land available when the great
war ends and the millions of Amen-l
soldiers return to civil life. §
While the vast domain that sawited
the Civil War veteran cannot be dupli-
cated for those 'who return from the
European battlefields, there are mil-
lions of acres which can be made
available with proper legislation and
subsequent development. and which“

Siberia in the train which had carried
the former Emperor Nicholas and his‘

The conductor was an energetic lit-

and had been employed on the Trans
Siberian expresses for several years.
He was a through oOnvert to the Bol-

royal party.
“This lack of deference seemed to
hurt the former Emperor’s feeling. At
