HUNTER LOST TWO
DAYS IS RESCUED
H. n. HILL FOUND NEAR PORTER
CREEK BY WILDER. HOFFMAN,

among those searching for Hill since
Sunday. Hill was found in an almost
exhausted condition near Porter
creek in the Black Hills.
Mr.. Hill, together with several COM
panions. started ou: to hunt deer in
the hills Sunday. In some way Hill
became lost from the rest of the party
and when night came was unable to
locate himself. With one match.
which was all he possessed. he light
ed fire and kept himself somewhat
protected from the elements for that
night. Monday he started to wander
about, endeavoring to hit a trail,
finally reaching Porter creek. which
he followed for many miles. each
mile taking him further into the
hills. Without food or fire and wet
through by the rain, Hill wandered
all night and all day Tuesday. Late
Tuesday afternoon the sun burst
through the dense clouds and enabled
Hill to locate the direction he was
travelling. He re-traced his footsteps
and early Tuesday evening he was
found by the two searchers. When
found he was about six miles from the
McCleary road.
Mr.. Hill was brought to his home
in Olympia, where he is suffering
from exposure and shock.

war between the United States and
Japan was sure thing. He dis
guised it, however. by calling 1t the
''next world war" in which Japan
and the United States would be ia
volved, leaving the inference that
they would be arrayed against each
other. He misrepresented Japan's
position on the Shantung matter, en-
tirely neglecting to say that Japan
was given only the German conces-
sions in the Shantung. which conces-
sions were indorsed by John Hay,
when secretary Of state. Col. Robins
particularly praised John Hay for
his Chinese policy. which, of course,
included the German concession. He
did not mention that Japan has
agreed to get out Of Shantung when
she has had time to get the value Of
the German improvements.
The chief cause for denouncing the
League was put on the very basis that
the I. w WIS and the bolshevists Of
Russia base their objection, namely,
that it would forever shut out the
proletariat from running the various
governments. Col. Robins was very
careful not to say one word against
