JAPAN TO STRIKE
BLOW AT SOVIET
REMNANT OF WRAEGSL'S ARMY
TO BE USED BY ANTl-BOL-

Survivors of Semenoff's Following

Directed From Observation-Disclosures
Foreign Minister Protests To Allies.

IOndOn.-WireleS messages from
Moscow report new attack launched
against the Soviet Government. Re-
ports state that Japan is assisting the
White Russian forces that have seized
Vladivostok.
The Soviet Government is said to
have definite information that the
Japanese Government has arranged for
the transfer Of the remnant of Gen
eral Peter Wrangel's Crimean army 70
Nladivostok and plans to unite this
force with what remains Of General
Semenoff's armies, in an attempt at a
new invasion of Siberia.
The workers and peasants of 81
IBERIA are preparing for stubborn re"
sistance, and Foreign Minister Tehi
tcherin, of the Lenine Government,
has protested to the allies, saying they
will be responsible if Wrangels troops
are sent to the Far East.
TOkio.-Omsk has been captured
by anti-Boishevik forces and the Boil
sheviki are withdrawing toward To-
bolsk, according to semi-otficial re-
ports from Siberia.
Other dispatches received here tell
of revolutionary movement in Eka
terinburg, while advices from Japanese
sources report that an insurrection
that recently broke out in Moscow was
suppressed with difficulty with the as
sistance of Communist sailors from
Petrograd. The situation, however, is
described as still being serious.
Russian newspapers declare there is
close connection between the anti
Bolshevik movement in Vladivostok
and the ''Intelligensia," it is asserted
in Hardin dispatch to the Jill Shin
pa, the conservative organ. 1t is said
the journals published in Hardin urge
the necessity of the anti-Socialist fac
tions abandoning their strife if they
hope to establish responsible gov
eminent in the maritime province Of
Siberia.

Pueblo, Colo.-A downpour of rain,
amounting almost to a clOudburSt,
again was falling. Whether or not the
rain followed the course of the Arkan-
SaS River above Pueblo could not be
learned because Of the darkness. Fear
was expressed for the safety of per-
SOILS living in towns on the Arkansas
River below Pueblo. There was no
way of spreading a warning from here.
Pueblo, Colo.-Three times during
the last 4S hours the waters of the
Arkansas River, breaking from their
course, have inundated the greater
part of this city, with the resultant
loss of probably not less than $50 lives
and property damage estimated at
$1O,OOOOOO. To the first flood this loss
of life and damaged property is due
for the most part. The second and
third floods found little of value not
already ruined by the water, and were
looked upon with concern only because
they hindered rescue and reconstruc-
lion work, First estimates of the dead,
based upon reports from excited wit
neSses who told of having seen bun
dreds of bodies swept through the
streets of the city, are considered to
have been exaggerated.
While no official count of the fatali-
ties has been attempted, it is stated
that the death list probably will not
exceed $50, If that high. One hundred
h11t &c,
expected that when the mud and
debris which fills the streets and build
ings in the flooded area are cleared
away more bodies will be found. Re-
lief work is progressing under the di-
rectiOn of Red Cross officials and mill
tary officials. The greatest danger at
the present time is said to be from pes
thence.
Food is being rationed. Those with
out funds with which to purchase pro-
visions are being cared for by the Red
Cross and other agencies. To those
who have funds military permits are
being issued, allowing the holder to
buy only a limited amount of food |
from local stores.
Pure water is at premiUp. The
public has been warned to boil water |
before drinking. In anticipation of an |
epidemic large quantity of typhoid |
anti-tOxin has been called for and will |
be administered as soon as available. |
Five hundred persons are in tempo
rary hospitals as a direct result of the
food, according to J. L. Morehead, sec
rotary of the Governor. There are
cases of chicken pox, typhoid, diph-
iberia and two cases of insanity.

CROSSING TIE HOT SANDS

President Harding answer, in the
affirmative when anyone wants to
| know: "Are you Mason?" In fact
he frequently works ut it until "the
Wee Sma' hours" That put him in
exact tune with Washington throngs
during the convention of the National
League of Masonic Clubs, and it gave
nm another opportunity to strike up-
on the chords of "fraternalism" in an
appeal to his countrymen to get back
to prc-war basis. Having crossed
the hot sands" with the Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine, the Nations Chief
Executive reminded these flocks Of
betelzed and jovial visitors that there
was real purpose in life before
them; and he directed their atten.
ton seriously TO the problems con-
fronting the country. "There are pler-
ty Of people in this country who are
willing to help the President" he
said, but most of them are desirous
OF helping in their own way" Great
organizations of men, he reminded
them, are capable of acting together
In the accomplishment of great pur-
poses. The Masons scratched their
heads, became serious for a moment
and promised themselves "to think
about it," and then they planned
trips to the Capitol to see the wheels
OF Congress go round; or they hunted
up tho time schedules of Mount w..
non trains and boats in order that
they might lay an invisible sprig Of

great conventions, but this one will
likely rank with the foremost of the

CREED

TO live as gently as l can;
TO be, no matter where, a man:
To take what comes of good or i'll
And cling to faith and honor still,
TO do my best, and let that stand
The record of my brain and hand
And then, shall failure come TO me
To work and hope for victory.
To have no secret wherein
stoop unseen to shame or sin;
To be the same when Pm alorc
AS when my every deed is known
To live undaunted, unafraid
OF any step that | have made
To be without pretcnse or sham
Exactly what men think | am.
To leave some simple mark behind
That l have lived for men tc find
If enmity to aught | show
TO be an honest, generous fee:
10 play my little part, nor whine
That greater honors are not mine;
This, believe, is all ! need
For my philosophy and creed.

Many Of the Pioneers have expressed
for themselves and their comrades the
greatest appreciation Of this work, and
the large representation Of the men and
women who first made this their home,
and who returned to it on this occasion
to assist in dedicating the monument to
one of their own respected and loved
members, testifes powerfully to their
love for the early home of their choice
and Of their appreciation Of our &C
knowledgement of the sacrifices and
hardships which they endured to lay
the foundations of our homes
A large group of members ofthe Asso-
citation of Black Hills Pioneers marched
in the parade, and our pleasure at seeing
them there was marred only by the
pressing thought that they were now too
few and so rapidly growing fewer. 1t is
most feryently hoped that they will re-
turn to MS another year, and they may
rest assured of the most hearty of vel
comes.

thought out floats. The representations
were so strikingly portrayed that one
witnessing the parade, although Of the
least imaginative mind, could not but
feel himself transported to the time Of
the early pioneer days when the first
soldiers. prospectors and settlers came
into the beautiful French Creek valley
and made their camps on the present
townsite of Custer, the Oldest Town in
the Hills.
The soldiers in uniform were accurat e.
ly represented, and both proceeding and
following, true to the history of the Hills
settlement, came the prospectors and
settlers Much Of interest was added for
those who knew some Of the participants
in the parade. Many of the characters
were in reality old settlers and prospect
ors, who in that character were actually
reproducing a section of their old early
lives. The prospector panning gold
while his companion stood guard with a
rifle, and the old prospector and trapper
seated at the door of his log cabin with
the inevitable rifle across his knees were
reproductions Of every day scenes in the
early seventies The old stage coach
loaded with passengers in early costume
surely must have brought poignant
memories to many older spectators who
witnessed it, The lone prospector with
his burro and pack likewise recalled to
many similar bygone incidents in their
own lives.
In addition to the historical features
there were many floats of dgntied
and beautiful character representing
either some excellent thought for the
perpetuation of the splendid work start

hardy pioneers TO discover gold in the
Black Hills The monument is erected
at point but a few blocks from the
exact place where Mr. Ross panned the
frst colors ever taken out in the Black
Hills Itis doubtless safe to say that it
is one Of the most unique monuments
anyw here to be found. Composed large
! ly Of specimens Of every variety found
in the Black Hills region it is a gem OF
beauty and furnishes a study rich in
possibilities to either the geologist or

A most interesting ball game followed
the dedicatory services Custer chal-
lenged the crack Keystone nine to a
contest aud beat the Keystone boys by a
score ofsix to nothing after hard clean
fight.
From six to seven o'clock in the even
ing, the Rapid City Military Band gave
concert from the bandstand on the
Monument Park The Rapid band is
one Of if not the best in the state at the
present time From the opening parade
and during the entire day they furnish.
ed music of the highest grade. The re-
putation Of this band has travelled far
and deseryedly and none who heard it
on this occasion but know its reputation
to be justified. The Rapid Band was
most ably assisted by the Hot Springs
High School Band which came to Custer
in force and donated its services for the
occasion. Its work is splendid and Gus
ter desires to thank, most heartily, the
boys who SO generously participated in
the work
The evening was filled with wrestling
matches, picture shows, dances and vari.
gated forms Of entertainment which
kept the large crowd in attendance
pleasantly occupied and entertained as
long as they liked.
The 2Sth, the second day Of the cele-
bration, was given over to racing, ball
game, wrestling, and broncho riding,
and as We go to press we are unablenow
to report the results OF the contests.
To Mr.. II f. Way, donor Of the Monu-
ment Park, and to the many residents
Of Custer and vicinity, who for months
have given of their time, money and
labor to plan, and execute their plans to
build and dedicate the monument, and
to the many committees who have so
consclenciously striyen and successfully
carried out the plans, the Pioneers and
residents Of Custer and community owe
large debt of gratitude,
