China On Eve OF Celebrating
Its Independence Day. Oct. 10

years ago on Oct. 10. But China
had a series of Independence to
win before she could fully complete
her revolution.
First she had to win indepenr-
ence from her own rival warlords.
This was accomplished when Gen
eralissimo Chang, after the North
ern expedition in 1926, established
the national government in Marking
in 1927.
China also had to win her indie
pendence from such foreign DOM
nation as had been forced upon her
by the unequal treaties established
with the old Manchu rulers. This
was in part accomplished with the
abolition of the extraordinarily
treaties with Great Britain and the
United States in January 1913.
China's fight-long and stubborn
and gorgeous for independence
from the threat of invasion from
Japan, and from the territorial en-
croachment of the Japanese military
machine has now lasted for more
than one-third of the short period
since her republic was born. This
fight is a part of her revolution,
which fact is one of the secrets of
China's logged determination. The
people of China are fighting not
alone for their existence, but for
their right to complete their ~revolu-
ton and establish their democratic
form of government.
Even after World war II is won,
and China is in possession of her
own territory onc more, the revolu-
ton will not be over.
There was a plan behind China's
revolution, developed by the found
er of the public, Sun Yet-sen, which
is still being carried out by China's
leaders and China's people. This
plan outlined three stages through
which the revolution would have to
pass. The first was that of unity
by military force. The second was
that of political tutelage, during
which the Kuomintang, the revolu-
tionary party, would give the peo-
pie political leadership. And the
final step would be that of political
democracy when the government
would be handed over to the people.
In a world completely at war, the
final stage of the Chinese revolution
has had to be postponed. But in
September 1913, a promise was
made by the Kuomin-gang that that
stage would be entered within one
year after the victory is won. At
that time the Peoples congress will
be called which will adopt the per-
manent constitution for China.
This means that at least until
that constitution is adopted, China's
revolution from a monarchy to a
Jul -fledged constitutional republic
will not have been completed. The
celebration therefore of ~Independ-
ence Day in China On October 10
is the celebration of participants in
a revolution as well as the celebra-
ton of beneficiaries of a revolution.

Council Grants Temporary Use OF
Riverside Park For War Prisoners
Needed To Harvest Sugar Beet Crop

prisoners to supplement present
labor supplies for the harvest OF
sugar beets in this locanity. Three
camps of German war prisoners are
now located at Billings, B~allantine
and Forsyth to help with the beet
harvest in those areas.
A delegation of Laurel farmers
who are without sufficient labor,
and factory representatives, appear
ed before the city council Tuesday
evening and asked the city's CO.
operation and permission to use
Riverside park south of the Yellow
stone river as a prisoner camp. The
period of such use would be for the
duration Of the harvest.
An army officer had earlier in
spected the site and pronounced it
O.. k.
Because of the emergency the
council granted permission for the
park to be so used, provided two
clubs-Laurel Rod and Gun club and
Laurel Rifle and Pistol club, who
have leased buildings in the park
agreed to relinquish temporarily.
Directors of the two clubs held
meetings Tuesday evening and as
sented to the proposal.
Although the city government and
the two clubs have agreed to CO.
operate with the beet producers and
professors, there is no definite as
surance prisoners will be quartered
here. That will depend on whether
they are available. Missoula also
has asked for prisoner labor for
harvest of beets in the Bitter Root
valley, and it is not known which of
the two districts will be supplied
first, if at all.
1t is understood here that the
prisoner labor groups number from
200 to $50 each. They are mostly
Germans, with scattered Russians
and Poles among them. The Rus
slams and Poles were forced to
light the Allies and were captured
With the Germans.
1t is said about $40 acres in the
Laurel territory and adjacent dis
r without labor for the
harvest.

CITY ON VERGE OF
BUYING CEMETERY
NORTH Of LAUREL
Owners and Council Reach Vir-
tual
Club To Donate $500

The city of Laurel is on verge
of becoming the owner of the Lau
rel cemetery, should negotiation:
now under way be completed. Tao
it assent to the proposal resulted
at the first October meeting of the
council Tuesday night when mem.
bers f~avorably viewed the purchase
from C. L. Morris and G. E. Setter.
gren, who have owned and operated
the cemetery many years.
Final action is likely to come at
the next council meeting. 1t is
understood the owners will make
their proposal in writing, confirm
ing discussions of the past few
months between them and a COM
mittee from the council, for the
councils acceptance.
Morris and Settergren offered the
tract, consisting of unsold lots, for
$1,000. The city countered with an
offer of $1,000. At the last meet
ing of the Commercial club direc-
tors that body appropriated $500
from it's funds and Morris and Set
tergren each offered to make dona-
tions of $3.50. Thus the matter of
price was adjusted. The city will
pay $500, the Commercial club
will donate $500 and the owners
will donate $500.
The cemetery was created some
40 or more years ago from a por-
ton of the Holman farm north of
the then village of Laurel. When
it becomes property of the city it
will be in the department of parks
unless a cemetery board and depart
ment is created.
The water supply is from the
Cove ditch and is elevated by a
pump to a tank west of the ceme-
terry. Water is available during
warm weather months in which the
Cove ditch is operated.
At the council meeting Tuesday,
representatives of st. Anthony's
Catholic cemetery board indicated a
desire to have water facilities of
the city extended to the st. Anth-
ony tract.
