TRANSMISSION OF BLOOD.
War Has Caused Great Increase in
 Surgical Process.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 One of the many wonders of the war (now happily past has been the increasing employment of transfusion of blood to save severely wounded men.
 In the great casualty clearing sta- tions, says the London Daily Mail, may be seen vessels containing sup ply of human blood for this noble purpose. The blood is freely given by men at the front who find that they are none the worse for the loss of it, and are technically known as "doners."
 A full account of the methods em- ployed is given in Messrs. Wallace & Fraser's Surgery at Casualty Clearing Station (Black, los. Sd. nett, which is an intensely interest," ing book even for the lay reader.
 Practical tests have shown that there are four distinct classes of blood, distinguished according to their coagulating properties. The wrong kind of blood may kill. But when the right kind is injected the dying man returns to life.
 Many cases in these classes (of severe loss of blood) hitherto consid- cred as inoperable, and others as ex- ceedingly bad surgical risks, may oft en be revived to a degree which in- sures good prospect of ultimate re- covery. Again, where an operation has been performed and there has been great shock, blood transfusion is permanent feature of immense value"
 The steel helmet appears to have fully justified itself in war. With it's introduction say the authors, "the relative number of head wounds has been reduced, and the proportion of penetrating, as compared with non- penetrating, wounds has been dimin- ished" Moreover, it has been ob- served during the war that head in juries when skillfully treated do not necessarily cause the serious after consequences that used to be feared
 Perhaps one of the most curious discoveries of recent years is that brilliant green dyes have the proper ty of killing bacteria, but in some in- stances this property seems soon to pass off when they are are applied to a wound

.COlON|STS GLAD
 HUN RULE OVER
Tribal Chiefs Appreciate Relief From Cruel Oppression They Have En- ioyed Under British-No Rap
 ing of Women and Flogging.

London, Jan. 30.-Ignorant as they are, the natives of the former German colonies know enough to appreciate the relief from cruel oppression which they have enjoyed under the tempo rary British rule.
 A few statements from chiefs and headmen are printed in a government report:
 Enaw Aiyamba, chief of Obonye. Cameron, said: "I no like the Ger mans with my eye. They seized our goats, our women, and sent our people down to the plantations.
 Aiyuk Akum, chief of Akak, Cam eroon, said: "It was all the same as if the Germans were at war with us; they damaged us, seized our things. and raped our women. Now we are fat"
 Chief of Towe, Togoland: "The Ger mans taxed us, but under the English we are free.'
 Sub-Chief Hongbeto of Agweve. Togoland: "The Germans left no good hair on our heads"
 In Samoa the leading chiefs from every district met and prepared a De- tion that they remain under British rule, because: First. An English soci- ety first brought the gospel to Samoa; Second. The administration had placed the badge of Samoa on the government ensign, thus showing re- cognition of Samoas individuality. which the Germans did not do; Third. The administration consults the Fai- pules, representing the Samoans, be- fore changing regulations; the British officials have treated them with ius- tice, and they now win cases in the courts, formerly unknown to them.
 Southwest Africa protests aga "a return to slavery under the Ger mans.
 "The farmers" say the Berg Da- maras, "no longer fog their servants, and the lash is not heard every day at the police station" The chiefs de- clare that before restoration to Ger many the tribes must desert their homes and seek sanctuary in British territory.
 German East Africa, which until recently still saw guerilla fighting be- tween remnants of German bands and the British forces, remains reticent. A native recalled q tribal proverb: When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers"

CURBING EXTRA WAR POWERS

Washington, May 21.--Senator Wat son, of Indiana, soon after the new session opens, will endeavor to turn the government of the United States back into something like normal chan nels. He will introduce resolutions in the senate to take from the president that vast and underlined authority which was given him by Congress in a series of bills or measures which were passed under the plea of war necessity.
 Many Democrats and many Republi cans in Congress never believed it was necessary to put into the hands of the White House any such tremendous powers in order to conduct the war, powers such as Abraham Lincoln had never dreamed of seeking and far in excess of any he received.
 An instance is the sweeping author ity conveyed by the Overman act, which authorizes the president to turn the functions of one government agency over to some other government

SEND IN BILLS, STATE
 CREDITORS WARNED

Owing to the fact that final court ruling has not yet been received on interpretation of Senate Bill No. 90, prohibiting state departments from exceeding their appropriations, the commission of state institutions Tues day issued notice to creditors of the state informing them that unless their certified claims are presented be- fore the close of the present fiscal year they may have to wait for two years for a relief bill in the next leg islature. The notice, for the informa- tion of those concerned, reads:
 "The last legislature abolished the commission of state institutions, to take effect July 1, 1919. It also pass ed bill which will not allow pur- chases contracted during one fiscal year to be paid out of the funds of another year. The auditors office, ac- cording to law, should close its books at the end of the fiscal year.
 "For these reasons we ask that you immediately present all claims held against the state or it's institutions, If you fail to do so, claims unpaid will be forced to wait for two years and a relief bill passed by the legislature for their payment"

An Exodus of aliens is reported from the United States. They seemed to have waited until the United States had made Europe safe for them to get home with the money they earned here during the war. There is no objection to the alien who has studied our plan of government and comes to the conclusion that it is the kind of government he desires to live under; but we have little patience with the alien who endeavors to bring his form of government along with de- sire to "get rich quick" and take it back home with him. He is the cookie burr in the pansy patch.

RATE INCREASE NECESSARY

In statement issued by Director of Railways Hines it is shown that the total deficit to the government for 1919 in the management of the roads will amount to $76S,OO0,OO0, and implies that in order to make up part of it, it will be necessary to further increase freight and passen- ger rates.
 In view of the fact that Director General Me Adoo raised the passenger rates in many cases 50 per cent and freight rates horizontally 25 per cent, any further increase in rates is likely to raise as great storm as would the recommend ed policy of absorbing the deficit by taxation. In explaining the deficit, MT. Hines admits that there is tremendous falling off in business and that therefore expenses could not be correspond ingy readjusted.
 Industrial enterprises he says, "have gen eraly suffered embarrassment on account of the fact that business has been curtailed"
 It is likely that when Congress meets it will probe the causes of the deficit to determine just whether it has in any way been due to the mis- management and extravaganza which have been charged on all sides since the taking over of the roads by the government.

THE DISSOLUTE DANDELION

One of the few uses of the dandelion is in making wine. Where formerly the little yellow flower was only nuisance, now, with it's intoxi- eating properties, which before seemed negligi- ble it has become an insidious enemy of the gov ernment, gnawing at the very vitals of the con. stitution. Any person whose lawn becomes dec orated with dandelions should, at the earliest mo- ment, notify the nearest internal revenue office and force of deputies will be sent immediately to confiscate the illicit blooms-root, leaf and blossom--and put an end to their nefarious ca- reers forthwith.

NO SIGNS OF LET UP IN
 SATURNALIA OF WASTE

While the country is buying bonds, paying taxes and doing these things with patriotic willingness, as it should, what about the reduction of govern ment expenditures Are executive officials at Washington, the depart ment heads and others, compelling that economy which people demand and which they have the right to expect?
 The fact is that the saturnalia of waste which was permitted in certain directions while the war was on has by no means been entirely checked. It will not be checked unless the new Congress furbishes up the Big Stick and goes after extravagant officials with club by absolutely refusing to appropriate funds whose need can not be demonstrated. Congress could do much to remedy matters, but there is no sign of remedy on the executive horizon.
 As all know, the war resulted in bringing to Washington many thous- ands of additional employees. It was supposed when the armistice was sign ed there would be a speedy exodus of these appointees. But these have not been discharged, large numbers have been added, so that the net reduction is but little. Moreover, the joint com mission on the reclassifcation of sala- ries of employees within the District of Columbia has been advised that about July 1st, the Census Bureau will add 4,000 new clerks and other em- ployees. This will tend largely to make up for such employees in other branches of the government service as may have to step out July 1st for lack of appropriations.
 Thus the government war ma chinery speeds on expensively at full tilt in peace time, evidently forget ting two things-that the war is over and that some one must pay the taxes

It is mighty easy to see from this what the officers are going to be up against next July Just to show how widespread this epidemic is we quote an editorial from the Los Angeles Times on this same subject of great import:
 When national prohibition comes there will be a law against the propagation of the meek and ;lowly dandelion. One of the few uses of the vel low flower is to make wine. Anybody raising dandelions after July is likely to have reve- nue man come into the yard and confiscate the illicit blooms-root, leaf and blossom. No guilty dandelion should be allowed to escape.'
