FATALLY INJURED WHEN
81 AUTO OVERIuRNS
Mrs. Martin Swenson Of New Lon
don Dies Following Tragedy
Tuesday

Our New London correspondent
gives the following account OF the au-
to tragedy which occurred: last week:
"A frightful accident happened on
Tuesday of last week near Elrosa
when a party of four New London
people, Mr.. and Mrs. Martin ~Swenson
and Mr.. and Mrs. Hjalmer Wallin, re-
turning from pleasure trip to Eagle
Bend, ran over a. dog, which accident
overturned their car and hurled the
occupants out onto a pile Of rocks.
The men quickly recovered themsel-
YES, being only slightly bruised. Mr..
Wallin was the driver of the car. Mrs.
Wallin suffered broken finger, bro
ken ribs and other lesser injuries
from which she is now recovering,
but Mrs. Swenson was fatally injured
by the fall which crushed her skull
and injured her spinal column. The
injured were taken to Belgrade and
cared for by DR.. Townsend, with Dr.
H. j. Hanson in consultation. Mrs.
Swenson did not regain consciousness
;or many hours, and the hopes for
her recovery never seemed very
bright at any time. She died on Sat
urday afternoon and was at once brot
10 New London for burial here Tues
lay afternoon from the Swedish Lu-
sheran church. The tragedy seems
the darker, for following so closely
the wedding day of the two couples
who were married at Willmar only
last week. The ladies had been close
friends thru all their girlhood and had
chosen this trip to Eagle Bend where
they had both lived formerly, as their
wedding trip. The parents and all
The relatives certainly have the SYM
pathy of the whole community in
their sudden loss. Della Wallin
5wenson, deceased, is the second
daughter the C. A. Wallin family have
lost in death since they came to this
county two years ago.

MARINE CORPS

In order to retire certain officers
at the temporary grade held by them
in the world war. who incurred physi-
cal disability In line Of duty. the Sec
retary of the Navy has suggested
legislation.which has been referred to
the House COMMITTEES on naval affairs
1t il pointed out that demobilixation
led to prompt demotion of officers
holding temporary rank, but it is
stated that in some cases where 1t
has developed that officers are suffer-
ing from physical disability incurred
in line of duty the fact that this
disability had been due to war seFv-
ice was not . matter OF record ut the
time OF their demotion. There in no
law under which they may be re-
tired in the temporary rank held by
them. This situation, the Secretary
states. is a glaring injustice. is not
to the best interests Of the Marine
Corps. and it should be remedied at
the earliest possible date. The Navy
Department earnestly recommends
that the proposed draft Of a bill be
enacted at the earliest opportunity.
It is expected that the report on the
selection of permanent officers of the
Corps will be ready for publi-
cation about January Is. The work

THE NAVY

Had necessary legislation in August
1916. not been effected. which per-
mitted the Navy to enroll Qualified
men in the reserve, "the war could
not have been carried on" THIS
statement from q recent report gives
some perception of the value Of
trained reserve force Prior to the
war, it was public belief that. in event
of emergency, sailors from lake and
coast vessels would fill the necessary
quota of. men required. Omcials ol
the Navy know otherwise, for the
shortage Of merchant seamen during
tho war became a serious problem, due
to the great increase necessary IN
moving vast quantities of war mate
rials over inland and coast water
ways.
In operation only a short time prior
to the war. the number OF naval re-
serves enrolled on April /. 1919, were
S5,473. This force gradually Increased
until a total Of 305.089 men and 30,35S
officers was reached. Few had pre-
vious naval training, though many
were experienced in technical knoWl-
edge, and some had sea experience
The reserve force law created six
classes OF reserves for the navy;
Class ono is known as the Meet re-
serve. In the feet reserve. officers
of the regular Navy who have re-
signed and left under honorable con-
ditfons are eligible. Enlisted men who
served one complete four-year enlist
ment and have an honorable dis
charge, are eligible. In addition. men
who served in the regular Navy six
teen or twenty years continuously and
entitled to an honorable discharge
may be transferred to the fleet re-
serve and are known as transferred
fleet reservists." During the period on
inactive duty they receive one-third
and one-half, respectively. OF the
base pay, with all additions they. were
receiving when transferred to the
naval reserve force. Transferred fleet
reservists are subject to the rules and
regulations governing the Navy at all
times, but may, when not on active
duty, engage in any civil pursuits.
Class 2 of tho naval reserve force fs
made UP of officers and men who have
qualified and who are eligible for
duty on board combatant ships Of tho
Navy. Class is made up OF the
naval auxiliary reserve and composed
of officers who are follow
ing their profession in the merchant
marine and those who are actually
employed on the train in the Navy.
Glass 4, coast defense reserve, was
created for particular district work,
but at the present time. under re-
cent act of Congress, all reservists
must be enrolled for general service.
Class 5 of the naval reserve force is

COAST GUARD

In reading Commandant W. e.
Reynolds recent report, one wonders
how the coast guard asea and ashore
could have crowded so much heroic
and useful work into the year. On
all our coasts the guardsmen are
saving life at sea and on land
wherever men and women are in
peril. The report shows they saved
2,417 lives during the fiscal year; as
sisted 8,427 persons on board vessels.
and cared for SCI persons along the
surf line. Reynolds says that There
was not = day throughout the year
when service was not performed by
cutter or by station crews designed to
assist. relieve or comfort humanity in
one way or another"
While the Secretary Of the Treasury
has not yet announced his policy, as
requested in q letter to Him from the
Secretary of the Navy, relative to the
transfer OF officers of the coast guard
to the permanent Navy, as provided in
the naval appropriation act of June
4, 1920. an understanding has been
reached with the Navy Department,
whereby the applications of coast
guard officers desiring transfer will
be received up to the date Of the ex.

favored and recommended to the
American Congress, by a treaty, to

United Statea
The revolt Of the Santo Domfngo|
population, under Toussaint LOuveri
ture, against the French had
an important connection with the
history of the United States. Bona
parte, as first consul, conceived the
idea of forming a great French
colonial empire in the Mississippi
valley to balance the influence Of the
FAnglo-Saxona race in America To
this end he acquired Louisiana from
Spain by the treaty of San udefonso.
a secret treaty between France and
Spain (lSoO3, by which Louisiana was
retoceded by Spain to France in con-
sideration of an agreement ad-
vantageous to the royal family OF
Spain relative to Tuscany.
4 This treaty was directly fnstru-
mental in bringing about the pur-
chase OF Louisiana by ThomaaIeffer-
son in 1908.
Santo Domingo prior to this treaty
was TO be Bonaparte's military base
and its reconquest was to have been
his first step in his Mississippi val
ley scheme His failure in attempts
to recover 1t. coming with the op-
portunity of renewing war with Eng
land, caused him, instantly abandon
ing the whole scheme. to sell Louisi-
ana to the United States.
In 1869 the desirabflity of Santo Do
mingo as a coaling station for United
States vessels, and other American
interests there caused a movement
toward annexation of that republic
to the United States.
President Grant sent Gen. B3bcock
to examine into the matter, and on
his favorable report a treaty was
concluded November %, 1864 The
Senate rejected the treaty June, 1870.
and the movement became generally
unpopular. The President still per-
sisted and Congress concurred in
sending a commission, consisting of
Senator B. r. Wade, Andrew D. White
and Samuel G. Howe, to examine the
matter in 1871. Their report was
favorable, but Congress continued to
dfsapprove of annexation. President
Grant abandoned the question in
special message in April. 1871.
