HIGHWAYS BEING WORKED

In a. talk with Commissioner A. L.
Bunday the Register learns that work
Is being done on the highways in his
district north of the city and that sew
eral teams and men are busy all of
the time. He says that it is very hard
to fill up many places as a very little
rain makes them soft again. He is,
however, making every effort to keep
these roads in good condition and
promises that nc pains will be spared
to keep them as good as possible. He
also told us that two two-ton and one
three-ton truck would be sent to this
county as our share of the trucks
turned yer by the government to the
state. 1t is the program of the com
missioners to use all trucks together
at one time and shift their use to vari-
Gus parts of the county. He also said
that c. A. Gullick, who is acting as
county highway superintendent, was
busy getting the King of Trails road
in good shape and that he had also
been putting some work on the Black
and Yellow trail between Bookings
and Volga. The county auditor is al
so trying, at the suggestion of Mr..
Bunday and the rest OF the board. to
find out II the federal government has
any steam shovels that they are dis
posing Of as they did the trucks. II
It is possible this county will obtain
one for use.

RETURNED SOLDIER KILLED

One of the returned soldiers of the
147th +. A., Leo Labadie, who lived
at Fort Pierre, was visiting at Pierre
Saturday and after the big demonstra-
ton in the evening he and three 9th
ers escorted their ladies home. On
the return while driving rapidly
through the streets on Capital Hill the
car struck a building that was being
moved and occupying the street. 1t
was blocked high and the auto ran
under the frame and this young sol
der was crushed and only lived an
hour. Two others, Privates Whiteman
of Pierre and O'Reilly Of Fort Pierre,
were also injured but it is believed
that they will ecover.

The supremacy of the United States
in first achieving the passage Of the
Atlantic by the air route was made
possible by the arrival of the navy
hydroplane in Lisbon, Portugal, on
Tuesday. The last leg of the trip be-
ing a stretch of SO miles made at the
rate of 80 knots an hour. The total
elapsed time from Newfoundland 10
Lisbon was 26 hours and Al minutes.
The final flight is from Lisbon to Ply
mouth. England. IT'S nautical miles
and is expected to be accomplished
Immediately if the weather conditions
continue right.
Lieut.. Com. Albert G.. Read started
this plane out from Rockaway Beach,
Long Island. and has made the trip
complete with the same crew. A de-
sire of the flight commander, whose
plane failed at the Azores, to finish in
this plane was vetoed by Secretary
Daniels, who believed that the man
who had accomplished the hardest
part Of the flight should have the sole
honor of completing the achievement.
the transportation question Of the
twentieth century has been solved by
the remarkable performance of the
navy and once more the supremacy
OF the United States is maintained by
a department Of our government
whose deeds are becoming as diversi-
fed as they are famous. Our navy Is
today by this performance she be-
comes the mistress Of the air.

STATE MEETING OF SCIENTISTS

A joint meeting of the South Da-
kota Academy of Science and the
South Dakota section of the American
Chemical Society was held at the
State University on Friday and Sat

B. A. Dunbar, president of the Chem
ical Society; j. G. Hutton, president
of the Academy of Science; Messrs.
E. R. Series, M. c. White and G. S.
Taylor. The party motored through
TO Vermillion on Friday. arriving in
time for the evening sessions of that
evening.
The prime feature of the joint meet
ing was an address delivered before
the societies by DR.. Roger Adams. of
the University of Illinois, who set
forth in a mastery manner the great
opportunities open to chemical re-
search as a result of the new era of re-
construction. Saturdays sessions
were devoted to the presentation of
short papers and their discussion, in
the nature of the report of results OBJ
tanned from investigation and sugges-
tive of the new animus that is enter
ing into the whole of the scientific
work of the state-that of independ-
ent research along more practical lines
than formerly obtained. Professor
Hutton presented the results of his
investigations into the necessity Of
close attention to the phosphorus O
tent of our local soils, as found by
experimentation OF State College
plots. Mr.. White read a paper on o

GERMANY TO FORCE
ALLIED OCCUPATION
AFTER FORCE IS APPLIED THEN
TO SIGN THE TREATY AS
UNDER PRESSURE
BRITISH AVIATOR FOUND On THE SEA
Hawker, The Daring Flyer For Lon
don Daily Mail Prize, Is Picked Up
After Engine Went Wrong

Latest developments, according to
Frank H. Simonds, the historian, indi-
Gates hat the German government
will keep up its active opposition to
the peace treaty even to the extent
of compelling the Allies to advance
their armies into the country. After
this demonstration has been made,
then having saved their face, they will
sign the treaty under protest and make
a good showing to the people of that
country and claim that they have done
all that they can. This will be cost
ly, as the Allies will make them pay
for this move, but no matter what the
cost, 1t will ave the government from
accusations from the people and Is a
political trick pure and simple. OF
course there may be no other way to
convince the people that they are lick.
ed, but 1t is going to be a cure that
- really worse than the disease. To-
day is the last day in which Germany
has in which to aiix their signatures
and before midnight it will be known
which course they intend to pursue.
The Austrian delegates are waiting
for the treaty to be given them for
consideration, and growing impatient,
they have been allowed to consider
some portions of the terms. There is
a marked contrast between the atti-
tude Of these delegates and those who
came to represent Germany, the Aus
TRANS making friends as far as pos
sible and acting with courtesy and
friendliness. While there is a strict
accountability to be demanded from
Austria, the manner of its p%resenta-
ton and the phrasing of the terms
will indicate that the Allies have
realized that the representatives of
that fallen empire are acting in good
faith and do not intend to make de-.
mands to compass delay.
There is an evident intention on
the part of the council of -four to pro-
coed to recognize the Russian govern
are fighting to such good effect under
Admiral Kolchak and General Denl-
kline. The Allies are to furnish sup
plies, munitions and funds, but will
w~ithdray their military forces and
leave the application Of all force to
the solution of the problems of in
ternal Russia TO the Russians them
selves.
Another thing announced from
Washington is the decision of the
United States to retain possession of
the zoe, 900 tons Of German shipping
that was seized in American ports.
Great Britain had proposed that All
vessels be pooled and divided accord
ing to the ratio of loss by sinking. but
President Wilson refused to admit
this contention and held out until
Great Britain came to our way of
thinking about the matter.

A L

A special dispatch in the daily
papers from Volga, dated Saturday,
said that Ralph Elders. infant son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Elders, of that
city, was accidentally killed while
playing with two other children when
a tine from a p~itchfork was driven
through his skull piercing the brain.
How the accident happened is un-
known, as the other children were
too young to describe what had oc-
Cured. The little boy lived several
hours after the accident, but physi-
clans at the Volga hospital were un-
able to save his life.

n TRIUMPH OF THE NEW DIPLOMACY

If Japan has been hoping 10 put anything across" on China while
the rest of the world wasn't looking, that hope has been dashed in the
developments of the past few days. Whatever the future relations of
the two governments may be, they will now be arrived at in the open,
subject to the pitless inspection and criticism of the whole civilized
world.
Perhaps the most interesting phase of the latest Chino Japanese
situation is the manner in which it was given publicity. In the United
States, at least it was clearly given the widest possible publicity
through official channels. 1t did not leak out or become known by in
terence. The whole thing was thrown open at once and with such
trankness that it carried conviction almost instantly; and from it public
opinion will doubtless almost as instantly crystaIze.
This IS the spirit of the new diplomacy. 1t is based on the theory
that the judgment of people rather than that OF a handful OF diplomats
supposed to represent people, is the only final and Just court; and that
the proper way to get a decision Of this high tribunal is by direct ap-
peal.
Japan already is dsclaiming any Interior purpose in her dealings
with China. But the fact remains that she was attempting to carry
On secret, or as she terms them CONFIDENTIAL" negotiations. In this
she has laid herself open to suspicion, for suspicion is the child of
secrecy. If the distrust aroused in this instance is ungrounded, as
japan insists, no harm has been done.
The day is passed, we thankfully believe, when nations may carry
on clandlstine intercourse with one another. That there was ever any
valid excuse for such practice may be doubted; and undoubtedly most
OF the horrors or wal and national misunderstanding in the past have
grown out of it. But at present the relationship of all nations is so
close that none has a right to secrecy in dealing with another.
If the league of nations, which is taking birth today in Versailles,
is ever to hold the world in harmony as is hoped, it must find its power
in public opinion rather than in armies and navies; and in the inherent
spirit OF fair-play and justice in mankind as a whole, which is the true
meaning of what we call democracy.

IN OPPORTUNITY MISSED

Physicians seem to agree that the schools should not be closed on
account OF the influenza epidemic; in fact that the disease could be
better fought when the children were under regular observation.
The argument is also put forth that the lessons in sanitation and
health preservation taught the children in the schools will be carried
home with good results.
A further development of this educational idea might we'll have been
in order. For instance if we had board of health that was really
awake and onto its job, we might see it taking advantage of the pres
ent situation to drill into the masses Of the people the basic principles
OF hygiene and disease prevention. The conditions are ripe for such
propaganda yet the opportunity is being almost wholly neglected.
Instead of closing churches and theaters, the board might rather
have made these places the ceners of intensive instruction. We have
mad the benefit of such effort in our various war campaigns. Our 4
minute speakers might have been drilled for the new work. Advertis-
ing on a huge scale by public press, posters, lantern slides and public
speakers might have been instituted in a way that would have reached
home to every man, woman and child in the territory, of whatever de-
gree OF intelligence.
All this sounds radical, perhaps, but that is simply because Hawaii
is behind the times and never has had the benefit of an up-to-date health
department. In spite of the influenza epidemic on the mainland, the
New York City health administration resisted the demand of the re-
dictionaries for general closing of public gatherings, and instituted in
stead a campaign of education with result that New York suffered less
in proportion to its population than most mainland cities.
North Carolina is one of the several states which have recently
adopted modern methods in dealing with disease, a most important
and successful campang having recently been conducted there by the
state board of health against tuberculosis.
The basic idea in all this is education; a determined attack upon
the greatest evil in the world today-ignorance. And in no other field
does ignorance play a more mEchievous part than in that of disease.

Death OF
Kamaaina Resident

Henry Kekeleiaiau Baker, one of
the old and well known residents of
Maui, died suddenly from heart fail
ure in an automobile in front of his
home in Waikapu, last Saturday even
ing. He had been visiting his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Waikoloa, in Kahului and
has just returned home when the
collapse came. He had not been in
good health for some time, but his
condition had not been considered
serious. He was 81 years of age.
Mr.. Baker was a brother of the late
Governor Baker, of Hawaii. He is
survived by the following children:
Mrs. Waikoloa, of Kahului; Mrs. l..
Van Lii, of Molokai, Henry Baker,
Jr., John X. Baker, Kaapuni Baker,.
The funeral took place last Sunday
afternoon and was attended by a
large of friends. Inter
ment was in the Waikapn cemetery.

was rough aud "f course the easy
way of fishing getting was put off al
together.
Six o'clock it was decided to in
wade the "opihi" and that meant a
trip of about two miles away.
Away went all the fishermen, who,
having caught no fish during the night
at least wanted to get the innocent
opihi. The tide was a little high and
the opihi was in deep water.
1t was late in the day, when the
fishermen started over the rocks for
home inventing all kinds of hard
luck stories to tell their wives when
reaching home.
