Mine Precautions
Are Suggested by
Federal Officer

HELENA DR.. R. R. Savers,
director of the bureau of Mines in
washington, D. c., has recon-
mended increased vigilance to re-
duce accidents resulting from falls
of roofs, transportation and hand
ling material in the Prescott coal
mine of the Barr Collins company
at Roundup.
Milton r. Evans, federal mine
inspector on routine visit to the
Prescott mine in September re-
ported the mines accident frequency
rate last year was 1884, 3, compared
with the 1910 Montana rate of 1873.
The Prescott mine employs IS men
and produces about TOO tons of coal
a day. Of the 80 lost-time accidents
last year, 20 were caused by falling
rock or coal, haulage activities and
handling coal, timber and other
materials, Evans said.
Evans recommended improvements
in the ventilating system including
all haulageways on intake air,
using line brattices to conduct air
to the faces, removing underground
booster fans, and repairing air.

PAPEETE, Tahiti.-The war has
brought prosperity to the Polynesians of
French Oceania because of the demand
for vanilla, copra and mother of pearl
shells.
The residents of the nearby French
islands have been lifted to a state Of
plutocracy because they produce most of
the vanilla now available to the United
States.
Vanilla, for the growers always has
been feast or famine, with the price de-
pending on how much was produced on
the island of Madagascar. Now, with the
supply from Madagascar cut off from
the United States, the South Sea crop
is in great demand at high prices
The only fly in the ointment has been
a scarcity of merchandise. We, in Pa
peete, hear great chorus of complaint
because the natives have plenty of
money without means to spend it. The
idea OF laying up money for rainy day
never occurs to the Polynesian.
The urgent demand for copra also
brings good revenue to the colony when
there are ships to transport 1t. And, at
the Tuamotu Atolls, the demand for

must be to facilitate their army's ad-
vance. Nothing must be allowed to in
terfere with supply trains and communi-
cations-neither frenzied civilians block
ing roads ner any acts of sabotage. But
food must be brought into hungry people.
They must have shelter, safety, medical
attention. These are only first-aid meas
ures. But the Army must provide them.
Civilians can't. The whole thing Is too
closely tied in with military operations.
Assuming, further, that the advance
goes on, and decisive battle is won. The
enemy's resistance crumbles, and an
armistice is signed. An armistice Is not
peace, and soldiers and sailors must
stay on until the statesmen complete
their work. But If the resumption of
fighting seems unlikely, more stable mil
itary governments may be organized in
cities, provinces and departments.
A civil affairs team moving into a cap
tured city Is apt to find about everything
wrong that possibly could be. The water
supply and other utilities may be cut off,
with an epidemic threatened. Bombed
out and wounded civilians may be roam
ing the streets or huddled in hopeless
terror. Vandals may be looting. The
commanding officer and his staff thus
must combine a variety of experience
that takes in virtually every field of
human endeavor. There must be doc
tor a sanitary engineer, experts on water
works, electricity, railroads, telegraph
and telephone systems; lawyer, a man
skilled in public welfare. There will be
plenty of military police to enforce the
necessary DEGREES.
AS time goes on, and the early chaos in
the city gives way to more orderly
state, the responsibilities of the civil af-
fairs officers increase. With necessities
restored, the military government can
move toward more permanent stability
Industries must be started up again and
men put back to work as soon as possible.
Children must go back to schools The
banks must reopen. All this calls for
more eXperts-in fiscal affairs, education,
economics, industrial relations There
must be a public relations officer to
supervise the organs Of public opinion,
such as newspapers and radio stations.
Liaison officers must keep in touch with
the citizens.
In hostile territory, especially, and
often in friendly countries it is neceS-
sary to organize military commissions
and provost courts. Offenses against
the United States Army are tried in
these courts, the more serious charges
before military commission and minor
offenses before provost courts, each
consisting of single officer. If the
civil courts of community have broken
down completely and the occupation is
apt TO be long, the commanding gen.
eral may order military tribunals TO
try all types of cases, civil and GRIM
inal, with the laws of the country fol-
lowed. When the civil courts are run
ming, however, they are usually allowed
to continue undiSturbed

mother of pearl shells has brought great
activity and prosperity.
The war has brought back pearl but
tons because of the diversion of plastics
to other uses. In normal times only one
lagoon is worked by divers. Now ac-
tivity is in full swing at the Tuamotus,
east of here.
In Full Swing
Although there is more money than
usual, We must content ourselves with
black native tobacco, timed butter ra-
toned, dull razor blades (whiskers have

few other such minor inconveniences.
We have fewer gadgets. People have

But people in the United States can
envy these fortunate isles-we raise
our own coffee and can have as many
cups a day as we wish. Also, we have
avocados and the sweetest oranges in

great battle brings relief from the
anxiety for the sister colony of New
Caledonia.

proves that nothing can blemish the
