,Sreat Britain's share is s.G0,0Oo. Translat-

CODE Commission
CHANGED THE LAW
Common School Districts Be-
come Independent on July l
Discovered Too Late
.. to Amend. .....a

Pierre, s. D., March IA consid-
cradle number Of towns on July / will
automatically, without any consent or
election on the part Of their voters,
become independent school districts,
instead Of common school districts
which they have been.
The situation has come o
through the provisions Of h new
cod language, concerning independent
school districts. Under the power or
the code commission to phrase the
code law, section 1882 and sections fol-
lowing relating to independent school
districts are SO worded now that ANY
territory, having within its boundaries
any city or incorporated town, here
tofore organized for school purposes,
under or by operation of any special or
general law, n n such territory
hereafter organized for school purposes
shall be known as an independent
school district, etc" Section 1884 goes
on to say, even further "the incorpora-
ton Of any town within the boundaries
OF any one or more districts shall ipso
facto operate to organize an indepen-
dent school district, embracing all the
territory Of the former district or dis
tricts."
This will consequently take In terri
tory In which a newly organized town
may be located-as well as the town It
self.
Some Districts Affected.
Under the old law Independent school
districts became such only upon the
vote of the persons residing in such
districts. The code law, as enacted as
a whole by the legislature, will go into
effect July land thereby constitute
these independent school districts of
The differences between common
school districts Some Of the many
towns affected are Gettysburg, Wolsey.
Highmore, Ipswich and Castlewood.
The differences between commend
and independent school districts are
quite extreme. One has a board of
three members, the other five. One has
high. schools, the other not, etc.
g. The matter did come to the attention
Of the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton and the attorney general until late
In the legislative session and they al
once prepared a bill to remedy the
cod provisions, SO that this situation
would not be forced upon towns un-
willing to have 1t. but the bill prepared
in some unaccountable way was not
introduced in time and so the code pro-
vision stands, and will become law July
/ to he conservation of a good many
towns Of the state. Appeals are com
ing in to the attorney general con-
corning it-but there Is at present nc
remedy.

Of Fighting and How Ger

n OF the -four units which began the

this city, was mustered out hast week
from the base hospital al Fort SHELL
ing, where he fglally was pronounced
cured from the effects of being gassed
the fifth day or the big drive.
The Americans were not decimated
by their own barrage." Farrell asserts.
what Governor Allen says is q mis-
take. Our losses were very heavy, but
not for that reason. 1t was the Ger
man f1iers that inflicted the heaviest
loss on our division. We were very
weak in the DIR at the beginning OF the
Argonne battle. The German filters
were UP all the time. They would
swoop down on our infantry. fire bursts
and dash away u~nhindered. They
kept this up for days, until We finally
got into the heavier woods Of the Ar
COME" 1924.
Fighting Was Desperate.
Sergeant Farrell says the Germans
made the most desperate efforts to
hold the Argonne against the Ameri-
cans. The Prussian guards, the flower
Of the German army, were stationed
there. The fighting was. the most des-
perate Of the whole a st. Mfhiel
was tame compared to 1t. Frequently
the two armies fought hand to hand.

First division. sent in as a relief divi-
sion, to it's post. He passed through
IL hospitals in France before being
sent home.
He says the Germans showed no
mercy in their treatment OF the French
women and girls who fell into their
hands. '.'
AT n hospital" he says, IL saw q
train of several hundred repatriated
French, women and girls ONE in. Out
of that crowd there were probably 800
girls between the ages Of Is and Is
and every one of them carried a baby
In her arms. Their faces were drawn
with suffering, they were half clothed
and half starved and looked like they
had been beaten often and hard, and
made to suffer all sorts of indignities."
