Lieut.. Donley also asserts that the
sentiment of the soldiers overseas is
that the peace terms should have
been settled long ago and not mixed
up with any plans for a leage of ma
tons.
Lieut.. Donley made a distinguished
record while serving in France. At
the beginning of Americas participa-
ton in the war he enlisted and was
mustered into the service as sergeant
of Company ID, South Dakota national
guard. With most of the other boys
of that company he was transferred
to the 18th field artillery, but after
reaching France he attended an
artillery school and was commits
stoned a lieutenant.
He was transferred to the marines
and served with that branch until he
was mustered out. His division saw
some of the hardest fighting and suf-
fered perhaps as great a percentage
of losses as any other American di-
vision. He escaped without a scratch.

some CONFUSION
TWO HIGHWAY LAWS ARE IN
CONFLICT.

Pierre, May 21.-There are two
conflicting statutes in South Dakota
in relation to county highway work.
consequently the attorney general
has made a ruling as to which n
shall be law. Two bills were passed
by the recent Legislature, one the
rev highway commission act, and the
other amendments to older acts. The
new acts provide that there shall be
county supervisors of highways, such
supervisors to be appointed by the
county commissioners, and the APP
pointment to be approved by the
highway commission. This act was
signed later than the other. The
other act is an amendment to an old
law and provides that the county
commissioners shall select one OF
their own number to supervise the
the highway work in the county. AS
this act was signed first and the other
was signed later, and they conflict
PLAINLY, the n signed later is up
held, and for the additional reason
that it is part of a complete highway
act, in which the highway commits
sion is created and its duties pre-
scribed, and the whole system of
highway work is based upon it, so
that consequently its provisions are
in harmony, and other conflicting
acts would only upset the general
working of the law.
