CARAVAN KlTcHENs"T TO STAY
England, They Have Demonstrates
Their Usefulness.

One of the most successful wartime
experiments has been the caravan
kitchen, says London (Eng.) dis
patch.
Owing to the fact that SO many
mothers had to leave their families OF
young children to fend for themselves
while they went out to work to make
ends meet, Miss Horsborough con-
ceived the idea Of catering to the
needs of these children by means OF a
caravan kitchen.
Assisted by three or four other WON
ell, she Daraded the poorer quarters of
London, cooking en- route all kinds OF
toothsome and nourishing dishes. The
Riddles came running out with their
plates at the blowing Of n tin trumpet
and We're served with piping hot and
appetizing dinner in return for q
trifling sum of money, which had been
left with them for this purpose by
mother. tf s"S
The fame of the caravan kitchen
SOON spread abroad. and within shori
space OF time was paying its way, 50,
600 dinners a week being served II
one district alone.
So successful has been this travel
ing caterer it is likely the work viii
be continued on larger scale, and be
come permanent institution, insteat
of wartime measure.

1t is announced from Washington
that the Atlantic cable lines will be
returned to the owners on May End.
and Postmaster General Burleson has
recommended the return of the land
telegraph and telephone lines to the
various owners as soon as congress
passes laws which he considers essen
tial. The experience. with govern
ment management Of these lines has
been dismal failure. The service
has been deplorable. and the Fexpense
exorbitant. 1t is significant that this
order comes Immediately following an
appeal sent by leading democrats to
the president, urging the removal of
Mr.. Burlsson from Office. as be was
not only demoralizing the service but
was running the prospects of the DEM
ocretic party. 1t comes just before
the supreme court is to pass upon the
right of the postmaster general to fix
intra state telephone rates. and just
after Federal Judge Lands has ruled
tA0t AO uooc AoI Po'oSoS CAoS 1uSAoA1- :
ty. 1t comes just after the revela-
tion of the fact that press dispatches
to daily papers have been held up be-
cause they contained criticism of the
postmaster general. 1t seems very
evident that the taking over of the
cable lines was political move from
the start, as they. were not taken over
until after the armistice was signed.
The most plausible explanation seems
to be that the purpose was to get the
lines under government management
while the special war legislation gave
the president autocratic power to do
so. and get the management so con-
solieated and scrambled that it would
be impossible to return them. Auto
cratic powers. if carefully used, may
prove beneficial in times of emergency,
but if used automatically they become
intolerable to the spirit of America.
The plan now seems to be to make
Mr.. Burleson the goat, but it is we'll
known that every member of the
presidents official family has acted
strictly under his dictation, and the
administration can not shift the re-
sponslbility for the failures in this
case, any more than it can in the
failure of the railroad management.

ALL TO BE HoNoRED ALIKE
No Distinction In Headstones Over
British Officers and Men Who
Died in the War.

Speaking of the resolutions adopt
ed by the imperial war graves COM
mission, a writer in the London Times
says: From the first it was laid
down by the commission that no dis
tinction should be made ir the form or
character of memorial to officers and
men lying in the same cemetery. 1t
should be done for all, and that all,
whatever their military rank or posi-
ton in civil life, should have equal
treatment so far as their graves were
concerned. Were the erection Of
monuments left to individual initia-
tive, probably those Of the well-to-do
would overshadow those Of their poor
er comrades, to the loss Of the whole
sense of common sacrifice and service.
The place for the individual monu-
ment, it was thought, should be at
home. Therefore the creation of in
di4idual headstonea Of single uni
form pattern has been decided upon.
These heacstc1es will bear the badge
of the regiment or unit to which the
soldier belonged, together with the
name, rank, regiment, and date OF
death. They should be easy Of identi-
hcation, and will perpetuate the pres
ent effect produced by the wooden
crosses. AS a central monument in
each cemetery cross and memorial
stone are to be set up, simple but i'm
pressive in character. An inscription
for the stone has been selected by
Rudyard Kipling."

The spirit of concession and human
brotherhood, that would be expected
to characterize the International as
sembly charged with framing league
of nations to promote peace, is some
what disappointing. OF the five lead
ing powers engaged in this work,
France. as the price Of her partieipa-
tion, insists that she must have addi-
tional territory; Italy has quit the
council in huff because her claims
to the Dalmatian coast were not read
lily granted, and Japan accompanies
her demands for Chinese territory
with covert threats. This country
has no direct interest tn .any Of these
claims, and yet. as member of the
common brotherhood, we are forced
to become a party to the strife. The
alarming feature in this muddle is
that it is only the first chapter of a
long continued story. These strifes
will not terminate with the formation
of league of nations. but will be a
constant source Of annoyance.

The hydro.electric commission ap-
pointed by theslegislature to investi-
gate the feasibility of developing an
electrical plant to be run by power
from the Missouri river, has employed
Daniel w. Mead and Charles v. Sea-
stone. s.of Madison, Wis. to make sur
veys and report upon the water powers
of the Missouri river. The commits
sion has already made it's report, de-
claring the plan to be practical, but
they probably wish to have their re-
port confirmed by engineers. DR..
Mead is dean of engineering at the
Wisconsin university. Mr.. Seastone
is also said to be, a notable engineer
from q practical and thsosstical view
point. It is expected that these en-
gine ers will make their report within

From latest reports the 147th field
artillery. which contains large part
Of the old Fourth South Dakota Ma
tional Guard. and which thus 'inludes
quite a number of the boys from Scot
land and other parts of Bon Homme
and Hutchinson counties, are to sail
from .Brest on May End. A movement
is on foot. and is supported by Adju-
tant General Morris, to have this reg
iment demobilized at Sioux Falls. II
would be contrary TO the general plan
Of the war department. but inasmuch
as large portion of the regiment
consists Of South Dakota boys, it is
thought that an exception may be
made in this case 80 as to permit the
boys to be demobilized among their
friends where a suitable reception
may be arranged for them.

Two contestants for the Office of
governor have already thrown their
hats into the ring. They are Lieut..
Gov. W. H. McMaster. who aspires
to win on the grounds of political sue
cession, and Hon. Carl Gunderson
who bases his hopes on the grounds
that the laws of political heredity are
obsolete. Both men are recognized
as competent. and as the campaign
approaches there are likely to be 9TH
er Barkises." The decision will
doubtless depend quite largely upon
the issues that may arise and the at
titude of the various candidates tow
ard them. The present administra-
tion has drfted dangerously near to
the realms Of socialism, and the next
campaign is very apt to be fought on
the issues of socialism or sanity.

Steel gangs are working on the
Milwaukee railroad between here and
Sioux City replacing the old rails
with the new ones of the 80 lb. vari-
ETY.. The heavy engines that are now
being run over this division are too
much for the old road bed, and fre-
quent wrecks have been the result.
The foreman of one Of the crews
working near Vermillion remarked to
the editor Of the Plain Talk that he
never saw q poorer stretch Of road
than that between Vermillion and
Burbank. Judging by the frequent

Mobisn in Knoxville

New York, Sept. 30.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People today made public a
letter received from a colored citizen
of Knoxville, Tenn, reciting brutalities
and indignities to which colored people
in that city were subjected, making it
necessary for citizens, both white and
colored, to petition Governor Roberts
to order white soldiers removed from
that city. The letter is as follows:
1.-THE soldiers sent TO check the mob
that attacked the Jail here on the
night of August 30 and liberated all
the white prisoners, did almost as
much harm as the mob. A false report
was circulated to the effect that Ne
groes had killed two white men. This
was done to turn the attention Of the
soldiers from the mob at the Jail. The
soldiers, hearing this report, rushed
into the colored section with a machine
gun and began firing. As a result one
colored man and one of the officers
commanding the soldiers were killed.
1.-THE soldiers were given orders by
someone to search and disarm all the
Negroes. A more disgraceful order
