NEWS ABOUT MARINES.

U. s. Marines who have hobnobbed
with Filipino headhunters, and have
long been friendly with the Chamoros
Of Guam, met their waterloo when
they tried to establish the entente
with the Cha-Cha Of the Virgin
Islands.
According to the Marines taeCha-
Chas are poor mixers They live
on the west side Of the lharbor Of
Charlotte-Amalie, decline to mingle
or intermarry with the negroes, and
resent any outside interference with
their affairs. They are the hardest
drinkers and the best workers, on the
island, their indutry bringing them a
good living as fishermen and the
weavers of straw hats. The tribe
said to have come originally from
the Dutch and French Lceward
Islands.
So far the marines have taken only
long distance observations Of the
Cha-Chas. For while the tribe is
not hostile, it's members plainly indi-
cate that they want to be lett alone.
The shades of night were falling
fast when Sergeant F. L. Todd of the
U. S. Marines finished a, climb Of H.
225 feet up Mount Hood, near Port
land and nailed the colors of the
Marines, to building that crown the
summit.
1t took the Sergeant just seven
hours to make his way through biz
ard to the highest peak in Oregon.
The flag he carried was a four-by-ten
standard, and his pack was loaded
down with hammers, nails, blanket,
and provisions for the journey.
Todd was once great adn1irer of
Longfellow. He says now that the
New England poet had the wrong
dope when he wrote Excelsior"

SWEET CLOVER GOOD FOR
IMPROVING SOILS; HANDLING
METHODS DISCUSSED

Sweet clover is grown on many
corn-belt farms for the express pur-
pose of soil improvement, Cor which
purpose it is unequaled by any other
1egume, says Farmers Bulletin zoos,
recently published by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In cases where sweet clover is grown
for this purpose the end in view is to
provide the greatest possible amount
of nitrogen in the soil and of veget-
able growth to be plowed under.
1t is clear, says the. Bulletin, that the
second year crop, which would 9TH
erwise be devoted to seed production.
will give the greatest growth in soil
improvement, but there are difficulties
in blowing under this crop unless
certain methods of handling it are fol-
lowed.
According to the bulletin the fall
crop of the first year should be cut
| for hay, which will not lessen mater
tally the amount finally returned to
the soil. About the middle of May
the second year crop should be clip
ped from s to II inches high and al
lowed to remain on the ground. In
order to prevent too heavy a growth
it may be necessary to clip the crop
again early in July, this time IL to
Is inches high, if possible This
clipping also remains on the field.
After the second clipping consider
able growth and some seed will be
produced, all OF which, together with
the two clippings, may be plowed
under later in the fall without spepc-
ial difficulty.
This is the method that should be
| followed il horses are to be used for
blowing, but when tractor is avail
able, clipping is unnecessary, for with
this source of power very heavy
crop of second year growth can be
plowed under satisfactorily. On sew
eral occasions large acreages OH sweet
clover which have failed to produce
seed have been plowed under by the
use of a tractor and gang plows equip
ped with special jointers, which are
very effective in t urning under and
completely covering large amounts
Of vegetable matter of this kind.

New Legislation Provides for Two,
Three and Four Year Hitches.

In order to secure men to replace
the reservists who entered the Navy
during the war, ands,who must now
be discharged to resume their former
occupations, and to secure crews for
the many new ships going into COM
mission, the Navy Department re-
commended that until june so of
next year enlistments be acceted for
terms of two, three and four years.
The new Naval Appropriations Bill
has modified all former legislation
that men may enliet for these short
periods and still secure all the bene-
fits-in proportion to the length #
enlistment : upon discharge and re-
enlistment which they received under
the old laws. These advantages are
extra pay upon reenlistment for cit
izenship and continuous service and
bonus of two, three or Hour months
pay.
The wartime increase in pay for
the Navy has been made permanent,
making the lowest pay Of the Navy
$500 per month clear Of living exc
penses. The pay fo- nien in higher
ratings ranges up to $l45.O0 per
month. All men enlisting or reen-
listing now will enter the Service at
the new rate Of pay.
The only restrictions made in ac-
cepting men for the short-term en-
1istments is that applicants for the
Machinists' School must agree to en-
list for at least three years this be-
cause of the lengthy course Of in
structioin during which the govern
ment receives mo benefit from the
money expended for the students
pay, rations and lodgings and for the
maintenance of the school
While the first year of u mans ser
vice is of little value to the Cow
eminent 1t requiring practically
that length of time to train him for
his duties afoat the Navy Depart
ment believes that large number of
men will enter the service for two or
three years who would not in the
present unsettled period accept the
! regular four year enlistment. Too,
more than S per cent of the men dis
charged afte completing their first
enlistment ship over, and it is believed
that the same proportion will obtain
in the cases of men serving the short
err bitches After they have learned
the opportunities and advantages Of
fered by the Service the majority
will decide to remain in the Navy.
The new Pacific Fleet will be in
San. Francisco shortly. Never be-
fore in the history of this coast have
young men of this section been Of
tered the opportunity to transfer di-
rectly from the training station to
the last word in modern super-dread-
thoughts, and they should not let the
chance escape them.
The nearest Navy Recruiting Sta
ton is located in Reno and informa-
ton may also be obtained from the
main station at 842 Market Street.

to the family of the ncighbor. Like wise when the UEitod States went to tEe rescue of France and England and Italy. our problems did not. after victory and duty done. at once shift from the United States to the nations of Europe.
 The best thing MT. Emery said in the address referred to was this: There is no room for sentimental ism" True; and MT. Wilson would save the United States much further trouble if he would follow this in junction. One great danger to the future of our republic is the ncbulous scntimentalism which passes for statesman3hip. With due respect for the position Mir. Wilson occupies, it must nevertheless be said, that his addresses on the other side of the w2ter have been choice in dictiOn but commonplace and incon3equen- tial in meaning.
 In discussing "Tko Responsibilities of Peace" most people who are in the habit of dealing with classroom theories and abstract ideas, fail to get down to facts and figures, which, after all, alone count The problem of peace is one of serious facts ad jLsted to practical human and ma tional ambitions and desires; not one of theories to be adjusted to existing facts.
 The only satisfactory peace adjust mcnt for the United States is that which promotes the material "nd moral interests of the United States first. That means nationality, not world dreams.

HENRY FORD AS PUBLISHER.

"A fool and his money are soon parted" is an old and true saying. This is especially true when anyone goes into the publishing business. The lat os; venture is an elaborate pamphlet entitled "Thc War Record of a west rrn newspaper. "aubmittcd to the Deo. rlc of Illinois. Indiana, Iowa, WiScon- sin. Michigan" end possibly some other states.
 The pamphlet is labeled Number one" indicating others are to follow, and was compiled for Henry Ford, late frce-tradc candidate for United States senator in Michigan, defeated by q protectionist This pamphlet is of fine paper and printed deliberately. It must have cost Mr. Ford from six to eight cents per copy. and il tn" five states indicated, together with others. were covered, the edition must have cost many thousands oi dollars Perhaps il l. well that Mr. Ford has transferred the management of hie automobile business to his son. At any rate. as Mir Ford is now going in the publishing game, he will need ell that he can make in his lcgiti- mate business ventures. The moment a business man who knows nothing about the publishing or newspaper business listens to the call of per sonal ambition and publishes pam phlets or newspapers to gratify his lcnfing for publicity and power, he begins to founder and slid" toward bankruptcy Even MT Ford with his supposed great fortune. is not i'm mune And vixen he gets through with his toy, Mir. Ford will find out that he has gained nothing but 1o, of expensive experience

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
 PEACE.

In d recent ;drcSs on ''Th" Re@pon- sib.Et.rs of pe"cc." Henry (. Emery, formerly chairman of the United States tarin board under President Taft. said:
 But there are other reasons wly we must live up to the principles of permanent peace and q new order Of society. based not on rival claims. but on q reign of justice IL k not only d matter of honor, but a matter of practical wisdom, of protection to ourselves, of insurance to the world. We must remember two things as we face the responsibility of victory: The first is that there are no more p;rochial problems; all problems are today world problems Sec only, we need above all else. at this jncture. clarity of purpose and san ity of judgment. There k no room Tor scntimentalism."
 The reign of justice" is certainly much needed, but no more now than thrC, or ten years ago. The war did not change this fundamental desire. for the reign of justice inspired the founders of this republic, and has been at the root of all human pro grces. But it does not and cannot take the place of rival national claims" if by that is meant ma t.onality." for nationality" means national justice" As McEmery says, 'It (the reign of ju3tice) is q matter of protection to ourselves"
 Does MT. Emery mean to say that the war has so altered the map of human nature and ambition as to sub, merge national problems in the vor' tex of world problcms?" Is the United States to take subordinate place, and is the world to como first in the activities and attentions oi our people; If so then We better have kept out of war and devoted our at tention to our own country. If oul neighbor calls for help in the name of humanity. and we respond and as sist, 1t is no reason why our first duty thereafter shifts from our own family

It may be too early to congratIlate ourselves, but the Tact remains nev- ertheless that times are looking brighter on Douglas island right now than they have for long time. Dur ing quarantine days there was more or less a spirit of depression hanging over the community that nothing could dispel
 The quarantine was raised a week ago and no new cases have appeared; people have mingled at the different rlaces of entertainment and their spirits have risen considerably The weather has been a great factor also in making the world look brighter. It has been so mild that it would almost seem as though spring has arrived Folks have been able to get out Of doors and the walking is good, as the rain has taken all the snow away.
 Taking everything into considera- tion, the fine weather of the mast several days and the spirit of optim- ism that prevails among the people. we should say that We are having q happy ending of very sad and sor- rowful season.-Douglas News
