FILED BY WASHINGTON
BY The United Press.

AN NV AIiAfU IIf~~s
WASHINGTON. March. 6.-Through al
lied channels. the United States Gov
ernment has officially declared il does
not assent to Japanese Intervention in
siberia. The Allies have 50 informed
the Japanese Government
At the same time the United states
has not protested against the inierlen-
tion-merely let the Allies and Japan
know in friendly fashion she does not
consider Intervention advisable at this
time.
This can Doe stated positively today
as the situation respecting the perpleN-
ing far Eastern problem.
American lack OF assent is no way
based upon fear or suspicion of Japan
ana this government has made 10 clear
that Japan would be the natural party
TO intervene if Intervention were deem
ed necessary
The allies suggested the question of a
japanese expedition TO the United
states This government has not as
sented 20 their ideas and while we
have not protested, we have pointed
out-not in a note TO Japan-bui
through the informal exchanges that
the fears of German action in Siberia
are apparently fantastic for the mo-
ment
An even more important point, how
ever emphasized In the American

than beneficial.

COMPULSORY LABOR

The Mobridge Tribune has started a
crusade for the control of the labor
resources of the state and
the enactment of a law by the state
Legislature which will be designed to
mobolize labor and make it unlawful
for a physically capable individual to
be idle i'm South Dakota. While such
an act of the legislature will effect a
few residents of the state who have
means of support Independent from
their labor, the law will be designed
especially to apply to the thousands
of ~able-bodied tramps who each sum-.
mer invade South Dakota and re-
main in comparative idleness until the
cold weather sets in.
1t is proposed that the Legislature
shall enact legislation which will en-
able the state and county authorities
to enroll such idlers and force them
into employment, either in South Da-
kota or for service at s%hipbuilding
plants and other war manufacturing
centerS.

very true indeed. 1t was an artistic
treat. From the Greig Sonata to the
wild, passionate Hungarian Fantasia.
She brought out the soul of the music
and showed a good technique. Miss
Carlisle brought out the melancholy
northern quality of the Greig Sonata
in e Minor, and gave to the slow move
ment a wistful dignity which was very
appealing. Her interpretations were
cry beautiful. The Irish Tune from
Country Derby was also prevailed by
deep sadness, very characteristic of
the more serious moods of the Irish
peasantry. McDowell's Rigaudon was
given a sparkling rendition. The Lii
bestraum was played with deep feel
ing. Chopin's Ballade was brilliantly
given.
The Hungarian Fantasia was played
in an artistic name and was probab-
ly mere enjoyed by the audience than
any other number on the program.
Miss Burrows played the second pi-
ano part faultlessly, taking the place
of Professor Peterson who had been
called home on account of his mothers
illness.
Miss Pier, who assisted Miss Car
Isle, sang excellently and with deep
feeling; the numbers, Call of the May

although they are very different from
each other in emotional quality, were
sung with the greatest appreciation
for both the gay and the thoughtful
in life. Miss Burrows accompali ments

A 90 BANK

Brookings is now the home OF anOth-
or 500, 900. 90 bank. The First Nation
al has doubled its capital and is now
the largest national bank in any of the
counties surrounding US. Steps lead
ing to this expansion were taken early
in the year at the annual meeting, and
now the comptroller Of the currency
has approved of the application and
granted the bank the right to increase.
With this increase in capital, the sur
plus has been maintained at a respec-
table figure and the capital and surplus
are now $40, 000.O 90. The growth OF
our financial institutions are testimoni-
ais Of the productive country that sur
rounds us, and of the achievements
that our farmers have accomplished.
There is nothing in the city that comes
from local development of which we
are so proud, as Of our banks. The
First National is growing all the time
under the efficient management of
Geo. w. Cobel, O. O.. Olson and the
corps of able assistants, and we do
not believe that any one could be
otherwise than proud of the good work
they are doing for the city.
