patience, and not expect that the expe-
dictionary forces landed in France can
be rushed Immediately to the front line,

To put an Inadequate, insufficiently
supplied force into actual combat, he
said, would be a mistake, which the
Germans unquestionably have hoped
ana expected the United States would
make. 1t is the determination, rather,
that when America does take her place
in the line, shoulder to shoulder with
the other allies next year, She will be
fully prepared to go through the SUM
mer campaign and make the Germans
feel the full weight of her military
power.
Those Of 1s who have fully studied
the situation and who know what is
necessary to be DONE" said General
Pershing to the Associated Press, ..are
anxious that the people at home shall
strive to realize the immensity OF the
task in which we are engaged and
shall, through patience and confidence,
help US to accomplish that task in the
shortest possible time. Everything is
going well with us both as a nation and
as an army. We are making giant
strides day by day, but We aresjust

ACCOUNTANT
WILL DIRECT FUNDS
Auditor Must Pay Rural Credits
Warrants on His Approval,
Court Rules.

Pierre, s. d, Sept. 3.-The supreme
court rules that the executive account
ant, and not the state auditor, is the
officer charged with approval OF the ex-
1penditures OF the money Of the rural
credits board. Some little time ago suit
was brought to test the constitution
atty of the rural credits law, and the
supreme court completely upheld the
measure Lately the rural credits board
sought to have a warrant for 5000 is
sued out OF the rural credits fund, and
the state auditor refused Sc to do, on
two contentious, until he had a court
ruling to order him to do so.iHis first
contention was that h law itself did
not dirct the state auditor to authorize
expenditures from the rural credits
fund; III his second contention was
that If he did so, he must hav an item
lied statement filed with him for such
expenditure.
To the first contention, the court
said: ssThe first objection is in our opin-
ion trivial. 1t is true that the appro-
priation contains no. express direction
to the state auditor to issue warrants
neither do many OF the appropriations
contained in ia specific acts,-chap-
tiers 4 to lit inclusive-nor the appro-
priation acts Of other sessions. 1t is un-
necessary for each appropriation act
to direct the state auditor to issue a
warrant for the appropriation. That is
taken care of by section II of the po-
litical code, which prescripes h q all
accounts and claims against the state
shall be by law directed to be paid out
of the state treasury shall be paidSupon
thegwarrant OF the state auditor.
To the auditors second contention
the court says in part: There is more
force in the second contention, but IN
view of the various provisions Of the
rural credits act we are Of the opinion
that tina it was the intention OF the
legislature, under the broad powers
given to the rural credits board to ex-
cept this appropriation from the re-
squirements OF code No. 76, and that
it was the intention to place the whole
sum OF $20o,00 at the disposal of the
rural credits board to be disbursed &C
cording to the Judgment OF its mem
bers." The board filed with the auditor
an itemized statement of the minutes
of the board asking for the warrant OF
$1,000, and this the court holds,aswas
sufficient In the way Of an tented
statement
The provisions Of the { state that
the executive accountant shall audit
and check the expenditures OF the rural
credits board. n the court says in
part OF these provisions: we think
that it is the clear intention OF the
legislature to substitute the executive
accountant for the state auditor as
and 1t is the! duty Of the state auditor
to issue warrants on the state treasury
for such sum as may be called for by
the board out OF UGH appropriation
upon presentation OF vouchers by the
treasurer OF the board, accompanied by
81 certified copy OF the minutes OF the
board showing such Judgment"

also unsatisfactory.
Accordingly, he postal authorities
and government secret agents working
out OF Aberdeen were notified, and
eventually-t the sender Of the package
and the man to whom it was d

phorus is a highly dangerous sub
stance, which is harmless In water Y
which ignites when dry and exposed to

The arrest Of the men was kept SCI
cret, and mail addressed to them was
intercepted until altogether eight
members OF what is believed to be a
dangerous incendiary gang were placed
under arrest, three Of them in; Aber-,

The men under arrest here are Stan
