BETTER FACILITIES
FOR. / I. c. TOURISTS
Visitors to State Need to Be
Shown Accommoda-
tions to Return

Raleigh, March More adequate
facilities for handling tourists, bet
ter protection of scenic and recrea-
tional resources and the raising of
standards for hotels, restaurants,
tourist camps and tourist cabin &C
comodations are among the things
most needed in North Carolina and
in other southern states in the opin-
ion of the. members of the Southern
Highland Recreational Committee
which met recently in Knoxville,
Tenn, under the auspices of the Ma
tional Resources Committee, accord
ing to T. S. Johnson, who represented
the North Carolina Department of
Conservation and Development Mr..
johnson is a member of this commit
tee, also head of the water resources
division of the department.
"The committee was of the unani-
nous opinion that this highlands area
in North Carolina South Carolina,
Georgia and Tennessee possesses ire
rlendous possibilities for recreation
al development, and that it can draw
visitors from very large area in the
eastern United States Mr.. Johnson
said. ut was also of the opinion that
the people in this area must be in
formed of these possibilities and that
they must cooperate in providing
more adequate facilities for tourists
and to protect their scenic and re-
creational areas against exploitation.
Perhaps the most important thing
needed in North Carolina and these
orher states in the sections where
tourist travel is already increasing, is
more adequate roadside control with
regard to signboards, filling stations
and eating places and for higher
standards among the hotels, restau-
rants, tourist camps and cabins, the
committee agreed. movement was
set on foot to secure the cooperation
of the U. S. Department of Agricul-
lure. through the Extension Service,
to distribute to interested persons,
through county agents and others,
macrphlets on approved tourist camp
designs and operation. Legislation to
~ecure more adequate roadside con-
troll and setting up definite stand
ards for tourist camps was also re-
commended"

ONCE Upon MARCH 21st

Tn Britain and some other Euro
mean counties democratic in form,
there is an orderly manner of carry
ing questions of great moment di-
rectly to the people at any time. Par
lament is prorogued, which requires
q new national election to be held
within a few weeks, and the parties
60 to the citizens with their appeals
to support or defeat a pressing issue
by electing or defeating candidate
for Parliament who favors or opposes
it. Thus the people have the oppor-
tunity of expressing their will in a
national referendum.
The same idea could be carried out
in this country without difficulty. If
there were ongressmen-at-large
from all States, it could become GUS
tonlary for them to resign whenever
there was an issue or proposal upon
which the people had a democratic
right to pass before final action by
their elected representatives. The
custom would require governors of
the States to call immediate special
elections to fill the vacant seats in
Congress. The people would then
elect the candidate best representing
their views on the problem at issue.
It would not be even necessary for
each State to have a Congressman-at-
large for the scheme to become oper-
ative. A selected group of represen-
tativs from districts in each State
could be the martyrs offered by for
the sake of this democratic process.
A precedent for the use of this
means of enabling the voice of the
people to be heard was provided SO
years ago today, when Joshua r.
Giddings, representative from Ohio,
resigned from Congress to return to

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY
20 Years Ago Today-What came
to be known as the Battle of Picardy
began. 1t was the first great en-
gagement on foreign soil in which
American soldiers ever took part as
units. It was also the greatest mill
decide the war, for it was Germanys
last bid for victory.
No attack on so vast a scale had
ever before been planned It had
been impossible to keep these plans
secret and the Allies knew what
was impending almost to the last de-
tail, yet it had the effect of a sur
prise for the Allies had vastly under
estimated the force which Germany
would be able to bring to bear. They
had not calculated on the strength
which the Russian armistice would
enable the Teutonic Allies to trans
fer to the western front. &
On total front of $50 miles, A.
100000 men came to grips. Principal
force of the first blow fell upon the
British Fifth Army, under Gen. Sir
Hubert Cough. To hold front of II
miles, Cough had IA infantry and
three calvary divisions. Since jan
uary he had been pleading in vain for
reinforcements. All his appeals had
brought were details of Chinese lab
OrerS.
Shortly before dawn on the Dist,
Germans facing Coughs army set up
a barrage with 5000 guns, plus trench
mortars. The sound could be heard
in England. At $3.50 a. m. first waves
of the German infantry began com
ing over behind the barrage. Forty
six German divisions were hurled
against the Is divisions Cough had
in the line.
simultaneously Is German dvi-
sions went over the top against the
10 divisions in the British Third
Army (Byng;s command) holding IS
miles of line on Coughs left
In the first days fighting, both
British armies were driven in 5000
yards.

ONCE UPON JUNE Goth

Those Pacific Islands that are SO
important today to Uncle Sans de-
tense system and transoceanic air
service are ours only because of luck
and error.
Although the visits of New England
vessels in the China trade, whalers
and explorers such as Wilkes, gave
the United States plenty of authority
to assert sovereignty over nearly all
the islands lying between California
and Japan. the government took nc
initiative in the, matter until it was
too late to claim anything except a
few coral reefs.
Hawaii was thrust upon us. Guam
is ours due to error. Forty years ago
today, the U. S. S. Charleston steam
ed into the harbor of Guam, while
conveying three troopships bound for
the Philippines. The formal salute
it fired was mistaken by the Spanish
governor as an attack, and having no
power for the guns in Guam's one
fortress, the governor surrendered
the island to the Charleston's Cap
tain Glass, who had no orders to
take it or any instructions concern
ing what to do with it. He left "a
detail of Marines to garrison it, pro-

of gun powder were loaded on the
Louisiana, an old ship of the United
States Navy, which was run in close

officers in charge of this operation
believed that the force of this ex-
plosion would cause the powder maya
zines within the Confederate fort to
Ignite and explode. The effect of the
explosion was hardly noticeable.
