action of the Makee Sugar Co. in
sending several of their huge steam
plows from Kealia to waipouli last

by the hot sun. instead Of in the early
morning, when the asphalt would have
been hard. As q result Of the passing
of these huge engines. the surface OF
the road from Kealia to Waipouli. al.
ready in a very poor condition. was
so badly torn up that large holes were
to be seen right in the center OF the
road, caused by the soft asphaltum
adhering to the huge wheels of the
steam plows and being pulled out OF
the road bed. The holes were hur'
riedly filled with sand by county road
employees.

Fire Entr '6 Men
 in ,dcky Mine
They Are Three Miles From Entrance - Little Hope of Rescuing Them.

Darlington, Ky, Nov. 16.-Fire near the opening of the Arnold Mine, near here, has entrapped sixteen men and with the confiagration growing little hope is held of rescuing them.
 The men entrapped, three white and thirteen negroes are three miles back from the entrance and it is feared that they will suffocate from the thick smoke which is pouring from one opening. An effort is being made to reverse the air through the air shaft, thus keeping the smoke from the miners.
 Work was begun at 10 o'clock to tun mel around the fire affected part of the mine and in this way reach the entomb- ed miners. The opening of the mine has caVen in, thus shutting off the air open ing and allowing less smoke to escape rom the fire, making the plight of those inside the mine more precarious If the tunnel can be dug around the fire quick ly enough, it is hoped that the smoke will be diverted from the Ar end of the mine, making survival of those inside more likely
 Making no headway in combating the hre' rescuers are considering sealing up the mine to smother the flaSnes The confiagration has progressed beyond con- trol and this is thought to be the only method of extinguishing it If the en- tombed men can be attracted to an air shaft where the men can be furnished with air this course will be pursued. Of hcials of the mining company expre ss little hope in finding the men alive. even should their rescue be effected iu- mediately

INVITES REPORTS OF
 IRREGULARITY OR MISCONDUCT

Washington, Nov. 16-A blanket invi- tation to every citizen having knowledge of "any irregularity or misconduct or the part of any agent, employe or officer of the war department" to submit such evil dence for investigation fas issued today by Secretary Baker in reply to recent criticisms of the surplus property di- vision appearing in a New York news~ paper. The secretary's statement pledged thorough inquiry in every accusation brought to the attention of the depart ment.
 Declaring that the particular articles referred to charge, first. that the war department bought too many supplies, and second, that irregularities, favoritism and profiteering have characterized the dis posal of surplus stocks, the statement em- phatically denied both allegations Sup plies were bought, it said, on the basis of an expected duration of the war.
 Had the campaign of 1919 been neccs- sary," it said the American army would have been greater in numbers than the combined French and British armies in France"
 The rapid demobilization of the army, the statement continued, left vast ac- cumul3tion Of material which, if dumped on the market would have resulted ill widespread unemployment with demobil- ized soldiers and war workers %LDless and the economic, condition of the country prostrated."
 The policies which were followed en- couraged the resumption of industry and America is the only country actively en- gagged in the war which has up to this time attained full employment condi- 1 tions," it added
 Total appropriations for the war de- i partment from April 6, 1917 to June 30 l 1920 were approximately 25,500,0G0,. 0O0, of which $16, 100, 100000 was ex' pended and $7,S00, 100000 turned back tC the treasury, the statement said. Deduct l ing balances on hand and amounts redi ized in sales prior to June 30, it contin, ued, the net cash outlay to June 30 was | 5,7T0 100000, which credit and easl sales not yet turned in would reduce tS i about S13,,500 ,00.000.
 "In other words" the statement said congress provided with an unstirtins hand and the war department took ever, step i'll its power to prevent shortage O i any necessary war material and built 1t plan to meet the great army in tn process of formation. There was no short age. In spite of all this. however, ou of a total of about S25 900 000, ,000 appro priated, about $13,000 000, 900 will be tn
 net cost of the war throrgh the war de partment, and this figure includes grea and valuable properties and facilities ac
 quired by the department mad permanent
 ly retained for the use of the militar
