RAPID CITY ELECTION -
IN THE COURTS

The recent Rapid City election
landed directly in the supreme
court last week upon the motion
Of objecting taxpayers, the chief
obiector being Peter Duhamel. The
action is intended to test the vail
1ity Of the city manager law. Once
before the law was declared un-
constitutional, but a special ses-
sion of the legislature later made
amendments, and, although there
is a division of opinion apparently
"a good many lawyers think the
law will now stand fire. An early
decision is expected. In the mean
time tie old city commissioners
.are still in Office.
At the election there were twen-
tyfour candidates for the nine
places. The high men we're Chas.
.P. Title, Harry Wentzy, and Geo.
Philip, in the order named.

Washington, Nov. Submarines
are certain to figure largely in de-
liherations of naval experts of the
Big Five group now in progress.
That is one feature OF the American
proposals for reduction and limitation
of naval strength which the British
have indicated a desire to discuss. 1t
is regarded as virtually certain, how
ever. that the experts win find them
selves in agreement that sIbmersibles
have very definite place in naval
warfare, a legitimate, recognized place.
and that no serious proposal to abolish
water craft Will be advanced.
There may be some effort 70 limit
the size of the future submarines. A
precedent for such action already is
established in Mr.. Hughes plan TO
limit the size of future capital craft.
But the limit agreed upon Will not,
unless all signs fail, prevent the use
of submarines as fleet clements for
operations on the high seas.
Many criticisms have been applied
to submarines by British spolesmen
here. but have come largely from lay
men and not from naval experts. In
Ivestigation does not disclose that there
is a difference OF view between kmeri-
can and British naval officers as 10

is the use made by Germany of her

their Ueboats did not realize the full
