1t has been said that blind p2ssen-
ger being driven in car through this
section of the country could easily tell,
by the poor condition of the streets,
when he was passing through viii
lage. While our streets are probably
no worse than those in a number of
other towns, they unqucstionably could
stand some improvement. Everyone
appreciates the prudent administra-
ton Of the council that has so greatly
reduced the village indebtedness but
let us not practice too rigid economy.
The Scenic highway passes through
here and we expect some day to have
the pavement extended from Elk Riv-
err to Princeton. Improving our vii
lage streets might not be a poor way
to advertise the fact that this town
is interested in good roads. The high
way department may be inclined to
help those who help themselves.

May % has been set as the date for
the trial at Leipzig of 900 Germans,
whose punishment has been demanded
by the allies for crimes committed
during the war, and seven judges have
been selected to try the cases. Unless
they try the prisoners in squads
those judges, we fancy, will get nigh
ty tired before they wind up the work
But there is possibility, Of course
that the procedure will be trial in
name only, such as those mock affairs
which our school boys occasionally
stage. The kaiser, it goes without
saying, will not be there.

If discussion gives any indication of
coming performance, Great Britain
will be the first nation to put into
operation regular transatlantic
airship service. This subject is re-
ceiving much attention from both
press and magazines throughout the
United Kingdom and even in America.
One writer, Major C. C. Turner, re-
Gently said in the Observer that no
apparent reason exists why limited
service should not be attempted with
in the next year. There is scarcely
a doubt that airship transportation
will be effected between America and
Europe within a comparatively short
period of time.

A Sad Commentary


A business woman of Buffalo, N.
Y, has been committed to one of the
state hospitals as insane. Declaration
is formally and solemnly made that
the cause of loss of reason was worry
due to fear thac she would lose the
little store she operated and which
represented her all. Her fear de-
veloped because of concern lest she
had made an error in her income tax
report to the United States govern
ment.
She was satisfied that if she had
made an error the government would
confiscate her business. 1t develops
that she had made diligent effort to
satisfy the thirst of the internal reve-
nue. department for information about
her income, but that some of the in
quiries were so complicated and there
fore blind that when she finally
turned the statement in to the federal
officials there was a gnawing fear
that she had made an error.
Worry, continued and becoming
more intense, did it's work. The
schedules had romped and cavorted,
zigzagged and foxtrotted through
the weary brain until there was no
room for anything else.
1t is an Indictment of the forms got
ten up by so called experts" and a
very sad commentary upon the way

Exactly Our Sentiments.

Some outfit known as the Christian
Publicity league, Minneapolis, pro-
fesses to be greatly elated because the
legislature in it's closing hours passed
a resolution suggesting the closing of
the state fair on Sunday. Whether or
not the board Of managers Of the state
fair will heed the suggestion, remains
to be seen, but so far as this paper is
concerned they may ignore it and we
will not be angered by their so acting.

reformers is that they get so hide

In view of the fact that Russia s
so-called soviet government has pro-
hibited the landing of deportces from
the United States, we would suggest
that the 70 radicals now awaiting de-
portation at New York be shipped to
the Soloman islands in the southern,
Pacific ocean and turned loose among
the cannibals. In this there would be
one great advantage-thc radicals
would have but slim chance of ever

HARDING TO APPROVE
ARMY APPROPRIATION
Likely to Insist on Modifica-
ton at Next Session.

WASHINGTON, June rs. - Although
President Harding IS expected to
sign the army appropria ton bill reduc-
ing the standing army to 10000, ne
probab bly, will call the attention of Con-
gress to certain provisions OF the meas
ure which he is understood to consider
will require modification at the next
session.
The measure which has been referred
by the White House TO the War Depart
ment, was discussed at a conference
late to-day of the President Secretary
Weeks. Speaker Gillett and Republican
Leader Mondell OF the House, Repre-
sentative Greene (Vt), a Republican
member OF the House Military Commit
tee. and Senator Borah (Idaho). 1t is
understood that Il provision OF the bill
adopted at the suggestion of Senator
Borah and affecting the reduction of per-
sonnel occupied most attention. and that
the President explained why he con-
sidered that this provision might need
modification later. Senator Borah was
said also to have explained his position
frankly.
AS II has come from conference the
appropriation measure provides that the
reduction to 10000 men must 5e ac-
complished by October I. War Depart
ment officials say this will require the
discharge OF several thousand men By
arbitrary means. Under the Borah pro-
ylsior the department Ia prohibited from
exceeding the actual amount approprl-
ated. stipulation which Secretary
Weeks Is understood to feel might force
the Government, in its effort to reduce
the enlisted strength, to break its en-
listment contracts with some OF the men

Mr.. Harding has only three days in
which to approve the bill if a lapse OF
army appropriations at the beginning oil

avoided II is understood that the
shortness OF the time led to his decision
to attach his signature and leave OBJ

EVACUATION TERMS
Proclamation of State Depart

Obligations.
Special Despatch to THE New YonK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Waahinrfon m II Ittua


The United States to-day issued a
benevolent ultinatum" 10 the people OF
Santo Domingo. 1t is in the form Of a
proclamation which the State Department
has instructed the American Legation at
Santo Domingo to make public in order
to clarity any misunderstanding that
may exist concerning the terms under
which American troops are to be with
drawn.
Tho Government finds itself in the po-
sition OF the person who has adopted a
ward. has given to 1t rudimentary edu-
cation and has incurred obligations for
it's further Improvement, and desires to
assure itself that these obligations will
be observed. 1t might happen that the
ward would prove unwilling to carry
out the terms of these obligations. That
is the situation In which the Government
Of the United States finds itself.
During its occupation the United States
started the construction of schools, roads
and other improv ements, and negotiated
minimum loan of $2,5000o0 to insure
the completion of those improvements
for the advantage of the Dominican peo-
pie.
Before evacuating the republic the
Government Of the United States wants
assurance doubly sure that those obliga-
tions will be taken care of. Without
such assurances the American marines
will remain in the island and the present
military Government Will continue. II
was explained that the proclamation Is
not In answer to the recent protest made
by the sDominicans to the terms OF
evacuation, but merely to clarity the
situation.
