This is very good time for con-
gress to take some action to protect
the public against exorbitant charges
for the necessaries Of life. Specu-
lators will take advantage of the war
conditions to hold up the consumers,
and their actions should be forestalled
at once. We had taste of this in
the prices Of coal during the past
winter. The price was raised on the
plea that transportation facilities were
Inadequate. We notice however,
that the extra price brought all the
coal needed showing that it was not q
scarcity of coal nor shortage Of
transportation facilities but greed
for bigger prices that was blocking
the game. Already coal dealers are
predicting high prices for next win
ter, and have advised local dealers
to lay in their supply at once. There
is plenty Of coal IN the mines. plenty
Of time to mine it and plenty Of time
to distribute il before another winter,

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

! Both houses Of congress passed the
resoultion last week declaring that q
state Of war exists between this coun-
try and Germany, and authorizing the
president to use all Of the military
strength and resources of the country
to carry on the war to successful
termination. In the senate there
were only six votes against the resol-
ution and in the house the vote was
373 to so in its favor. South Dako-
as record in the senate was credit
to the loyalty of the state but in the
house both Congressman Dillon and
Royal johnson voted in favor of SUBJ
mitting to the sacrifice of our rights
and of a menial submission to the inn
perial dictates Of Germany. 1t is now
up to South Dakota to put forth an
extra effort to convince the world
that. regardless of the showing made
in congress, this state is loyal, and is
ready to stand by the president in his
effort to uphold the honor of the
country and preserve the liberties SO
deary purchased by our fathers. The
president in his, message very nicely
voiced the sentiments Of the country
when he said "The right is more
precious than peace" and South Dako-
ia is ready to uphold the right.

The government crop report for the
first Of April gives the present con-
dition Of winter wheat in this state
as 81 per cent of normal, and in the
United States as 63.4 of normal. Of
course the spring wheat acreage can
be somewhat increased to overcome
this shortage but there is grave dam
ger of a wheat shortage this season,
and it is up to the farmers to crop
every available acre either to wheat
Or to something that can be used as a
substitute.

NEW WAR VESSEL UNCANllY
John Hays Hammond, Jr, Operates
Coast Defsnse Hoat ~
Wireless.

The most uncanny vessel afioat In
American waters Ii anchored In the
cove ct West Gloucester, Mass. The
only craft to be seen. IT. is the new
coast-defense boat invented by John
Hays Hammond, Jr. You feel that ii 4
is uncanny when you look at It afioats
In the little harbor and realize that's
without q soul on board 1t can never
theless be directed In any direction,
and when it is In line with an enemy
ship 1t can fire broadside as effec-
lively as q big man.of-war with q full
crew and complement OF trained gum
ners.
The wireless is the explanation
From the coast Mr.. Hammond can
start the motor on. the boat, set the
steering gear MS he Hikes: and then
train the guns on any desired target.
1t Is just another Of the marvels which
modern warfare has brought into be-
ing.
AS to its practicability, the inventor
is modest but positive.
ITS all right for coast defense work"
he says, ''and IT Is comparatively SO
simple that one week can be turned
cut by shipbuilder without difficuity.
In the event Of big order, the parts
could be standardized and made I'm
Wholesale lots, SO that the output
could be greatly increased"
OF course Hr. Hammond is not tell
ing the details of this new invention,
but the boat Is ready for service, and
from the window Of his laboratory in
West Gloucester the inventor can look
out on the little harbor and keep an
eye on his new craft, which may play
a part in the world war If the United
States becomes involved in 1t.

The farmers are fearing that on
account of the war there will be a
great scarcity Of farm help. While a
few years ago good men could be
hired for from SIS to 500 per month,
today men are asking from $35 to
$45. These prices really do look big
but compared with the prices Of farm
products the farmer is still ahead Of
the game. The 500 man was en-
ployed to raise Soc wheat while the
$40 man raises So. 90 wheat.

HAIC MAKES GOOD.
GAINS OF BRITISH
GREATEST VICTORY
Berlin Admits the Losses
Nothing Of Importance On
Other Fronts

Field Marshal Haig has made com.
plete his latest success, and his men
are holding tight to the new positions
taken from the Germans on Thurs
day. Crown Prince Rupprecht hurl-
ed counter-attacks against the new
British lines, but the Britishers held
on firmly to their gains. Berlin of
flcially admits that the British effort
was successful and that the Germans
were forced to evacuate some of their
defenses in the vital Ypres salient.
but it attempts to minimize the i'm
portance of the advance.
The number of German prisoners
taken by the British in yesterdays
fighting on the Belgian front now
exceeds three thousand, according to
British war affice statement tonight
The British yesterday repulsed sever
al strong counter-attacks, inflicting
exceptionally heavy losses.
The British losses in the assault
are reported to have been light.
On the southern end of the west
ern front the German crown prince
has suffered severe losses in an IN
successful attack on Mont Haut, in
Champagne. Other attacks by the
Germans on the Aisne front and near
Nerdun were repealed by the French.
There has been no marked fighting
activity on the eastern front. Gen
eral Alex if, chief of staff to Premier
kerensky, commander chief of the
Russian armies, has resigned. DIFF
ferences between the two men over
matters appertaining to the Korniloff
revolt are given as the reason.
The Austrians and Italians appar-
emily are resting on the Carso front.
In the Trentino, however, the two
armies have been more active. In an
attack at Gina Sief, in the Dolo-
mite Alps, the Italians gained the
enemy defenses. The impossibility /,
IF securing shelter, however, forced
he Italians to retire. !
