UNANIMOUS
FOR POWERS

While there may have been a differ
ence of opinion among members of the
new board as to the best men to ap.
point to some of the city positions
there was none when it came to ap-
pointing a chief of police.
Otis Power received the unanimous
vote of the board for the position he
has so very satisfactorily filled dur
ing the past several years. The vote
of the board was unanimous and the
satisfaction the appointment has given
is unanimous too.
For it is the strong belief here that
Chief of Police Otis Powers is just the
right man in the right place. Big,
hurley, and of fine physique, he is
amply able to handle any proposition
that may come his way, and to this
mere physical ability he brings a dis
corning tact and good judgment that
is invaluable in a resort town like
Hendersonville. During the years
Chief Powers has filled that position,
and not merely occupied it, he has es-
tablished a record for straight on;
efficiency that will compare with any
police official in the state, and the
citizens of Hendersonville are con-
graduating themselves upon securing ]
his experienced services for another
term.

SOUTH SEA HISTORY

If the United States should, through the formation of the league of nations, be granted the mandatory for some of the German Pacific colonies, an inter- esting chapter might be added to the political romance of the Samoan islands. To begin with in the dim distant past this group was subju- gated by a kaiserliche coalition of the Tongan and Fiji islanders. After a hundred years of life in the high bush the Samoans succeeded in driving the invaders from their shores. Then fol- lowed independence and serenity. But the whale ships of the American oil fleets of the days before the Civil war brought many pleasant white men to the islands and they were so well liked that the natives decided to an mex the United States. They sent delegation of chiefs to Washington to propose the union of the two coun- tries but Washington scornfully re- fused. Next the British prepared to annex the group but the Germans were too quick for. them and got such a foothold that neither could get an advantage. The United States, hav- ing declined Samoa as gift, next tried to edge in and take it away from Britain and Germany. A tripartite rule, interrupted every four years or so with civil war, followed. This be- coming an impossible condition, the islands were divided, Germany paying Great Britain a tremendous price to give up the two big islands, and the United States satisfying itself with the third in size, too small and noun tainous to be of commercial worth, but containing Pango Pango, one of the two storm-proof and shell-proof harbors in the mid-Pacific. There we are to build up-if congress ever makes the appropriations Heligo- land to guard the western approach to Panama. As for the German two- thirds of the group, that was snapped up by the New Zealand navy immedi- ately after war broke out in 1914 The Japs were day or two too late. The group is still in the, hands of the New Zealanders but the Paris confer ence may eventually award it to Uncle Sam, in which case the natives will get their original wish.

AT WARWICK CASTLE

You can't awe Tank. You can feast his eyes and his mind on history and castles and things that are so old trey are sacred. But you can't awe him.
 You can, as has been done for in stance, take him to Warwick Castle and show him the moat, the portcullis, Caesars Tower and wonders that date from 900 A., D. Then when he sees the broad rampant on the castle wall he thinks what fine place it would be to dance; and he does.
 Recently hundred Tanks on leave in England made two-day tour. They played baseball at the home of the late William Shakespeare, Stratford- or-Avon; visited bennington Spa, Coventry, Warwick Castle and the ruins of the famous Wentworth Castle.
 Just to add sort of finishing American touch to the tour they had peanuts at Warwick.think of it, pea nuts at sacred Warwick.
 But lest the Tanks be falsely ac- crsed of carrying peanuts to Warwick let it be noted that Harry Gordon Self ridge, former Chicagoan, now de- partment store man in London, sent up fifty pounds of the delectable goob- CTS just to make the boys feel at home while gallivanting about the castles meats and ramparts and towers and places.
 The soldiers were shown through the castle by their hostess, Mrs. H. Marsh. They saw the armor worn when knights were bold; they saw wonderful tapestries from 1904; price less originals by such artists as Van Dyke, Hans Holbein, Rubens, Hobday, Velasouez. and what struck them as picture of funny little fat king, namely, Holbein's portrait of Henry the Eighth.
 And to get straight on Henry's many wives they learned the little rhyme:
 Divorced, beheaded, died;
 Divorced, beheadcd, survived.

PUBLIC DEBTS, THEN AND NOW

How horrible expensive the war has been one does not realize until he compares the present military outlay with that of preceding wars The to. tai cost of the war of all belligerents, central powers, entente and United States combined, is now estimated at $179,0OO,000,O0O. To this staggering sum the kaiser's side contributed $59,. 419,000,000 and the allies and the United States $119,5S1 100000. The United States up to date has blown away $1S,4S1 100000 of national wealth, Great Britain has spent $57,. 1o0,O00,000 and France $27,OOO, ,0O0, ,O00 The American debt will shortly be augmented by another five or six bill. lions.
 Turning now from this ghastly array of costs one finds, almost with a chuckle of surprise. that in the Ameri can war of 1912, that taxed the re sources of. the young republic, the total army and navy outlays amounted to only $e2,9s9,o00. For the Mexican war the army and navy bills on the part of the United States amounted to only $117.048,00O. The Civil War so nearly wrecked American public finance that the greenback depreci ated until, at one time. it was worth only 85 cents. Yet the total army and

sLACKERS RUN TRUE TO FORM

A Chicago judge is authority for the statement that the stacker marriages of the first days of the war constitute the grist of the divorce mills today" This" according to the Salt Lake Herald, "only makes clear the fulfill ment of prophecy" and it continues:
 "Humorists have made much of comparisons of war and the marriage state, often overdrawing the picture, but occasionally seasoning it with the salt of truth. What the entertainers have said in jest is based on fact, and is bound to command solemn respect as the pathetic side is revealed in the divorce courts.
 '"The deluded look upon marriage as the cure of the ills of discomfort, forgetting the essential qualities of happy union. The man without the courage to face war does not possess the character of a good husband In hiding behind a petticoat to avoid con- flict he has merely buried his head in the sand. Time is relentless, and sooner or later must present problems even more complex than the original enigma.
 Being without the courage to face war, he lacks the stamina to face the trials and tribulations of mutual mis- fortunes. As a husband he is no more stable than he was as warrior, and he solves his problems by running away from them. A coward at heart, he deserts holy union in selfish pro- lection
 'The wreckage of the matrimonial craft of the first days of war can serve only as beacon light to the coming generations. The man who won't fight for his country won't fight for his wife and family. He is to be discovered before misplaced confidence becomes lasting regret It is not entirely masculine problem, because the girl who marrires to quit work too often finds her hours increased and her pay reduced. Divorces fail to solve these problems, for they only ease burdens where there should be no burdens"

When we come down to the Spanish-American war We find that the army and navy cost to the United States in that conflict was $71S,S36,900.
 Compare these figures with the $1S,- 4S1, ,O0O,OO already spent by the Unit ed States in the world war, and req lizo, for the first time, perhaps, what a really great war it has been

While you are about it, pass a law for the protection of the prospector. What do you say Messrs.

Our game law in that respect is huge joke for those of us who stay at home. It is no joke, however, with the prospectors.
 As the law is today, the black bear, which is but playful animal full of curiosity, nothing more, yet it has no protection by law. It is otherwise with the brown bear, which nature has created with disposition like the kaiser, and loves a prospector like a cat loves a mouse. Yet it is protected by law.

PARIS, March IA British admir-
atty semi official statement published

tbe last fortnight that the German
fleet will not be sunk. The French
and Italians want their losses made
good from Germany, and the smaller
nations, like Belgium. Serbia, Rou-

The British want the warships al
soted among the allies according to
che proportion of losses during thu

ment Of the vessels on basis OF per-
centage Of each nations fleet loss
during the war.
Thus, although Britain's num-
Der Of ships sunk exceeded Frances
sn point of numbers. they represent
a smaller proportion of the British
navy loss than OF the French navy,
because the British navy is much
larger in point of numbers than the
French. Thus France hopes to get
four of the Germans big ships and
Italy three. leaving England two OF
