JAPS TAKE VLADIVOSTOK
Capture City From Soviet Forces After
Eight Hours Fighting.

London, April 6.-Japanese troops
have occupied Vladivostok after eight
hours fighting, a news agency dis

Russian social revolutionaries took
control of Vladivostok early this year
after defeat of Admiral Kolchak's all
Russian anti-soviet government. The
city has been at the mercy OF Japan
ese forces since that time but the
Japanese apparently had acquiesced

WE ARE SURPRISED THEY DID NOT THINK.

A few days ago we received a copy of the 15 page program
of the coming State Teachers Association with the request that
we publish it. The program showed the imprint of one of the
States leading job printing establishments. We did not pub
lish it for the reason that it would require too much space, and,
besides, we thought it just a bit strange that the teacher or
teachers who had to do with printing the program did not think
of the newspapers which have job printing departments when
they were choosing some one to print it. However, we suppose
that the teachers felt that they were emulating many others
who believe in dividing their business" by giving the job print
ing esta adjustment that part of the work which pays and the
newspaper that part which is free.
We are surprised that the teacher or teachers did not think.
The newspapers of the State are the teachers best friends.
The teachers, as well as the balance of the world, are not done
with needing the newspapers.
1t is a sort of habit for benevolent minded people to get to-
gether in Jackson, resolute and get out literature which is print
ed at convenient job printing concerns, and then send the
said literature out to the country press to get their message" to
the people. We are sure that we speak the mind OF many
other newspapers that have job offices when We say that we
have about reached the conclusion to tell those afflicted with
remembering the press only when they need free space, to take
for publicity.

A NEEDED LAW.

The Board of Supervisors should pass an ordinance making
it unlawful for any person under sixteen years of age to drive
an automobile and requiring all who drive cars to have a
chauffeurs license. One can see every day on the streets of
Grenada cars driven by youngsters who can hardly see over the
steering wheel. There is no doubt that they know how to stop
a car but would they act quickly enough in case of emergency?
They might perhaps in some cases but we hardly think so in ev-
cry instance. There have been no serious accidents as yet in
Grenada when children were driving but we can never tell
what's going to happen.
The money obtained from the sale of licenses could be used
along with the regular funds-in keeping the roads and streets
in good condition or it could be put to other uses as the authori-
ties gee fit.

THE TELEPHONE v

The telephone service we get nowadays is absolutely the
poorest for many years. To get a number one has to wait some
times four or five minutes-which always seems longer-be-
fore central answers, and then, after a minute or two, the de
sired party may answer if the wrong number" isn't given. If
the wrong number answers, it all has to be tried again.
Something should be done. If the head office doesn't allow
sufficient funds for proper operation, it should do so. Subscrlb-
ers pay for service and are entitled to service.
