Still He’s Only 39 Years Old. By P. M. SARL. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON.—The “stormy petrel” of the British army, Major General Adrian Carton De Wiart, has turned up again—of course, in the latest war or the nearest approach to a war, Europe can boast at the mo ment. When the news despatches re ported that Carton De Wiart had been arrested by Lithuanian troops in that chaotic no-man’s-land be tween Poland and Lithuania which the League of Nations has declared a “neutral zone,” military circles said “Good Lord. Hasn’t that man had enough war yet?” But Carton De Wiart never seems to have had enough war. Wherev er there is trouble this brilliant Belgian-born British soldier is on the spot. At present he is the head of the British Military Mission to Warsaw, and it was in this capaci ty that he was on the Memal “front” f and suffered detention for a few , days before the Lithuanian "irregu lars” realized that he was not a safe man to hold. Still only 39 years of age, Carton De Wiart has received more wounds than any living British—or probably any other—soldier. S. C. HARDWARE MEN TO ATTEND CONCLAVE W. B.

FIDE TOIL HEAVY State Marshal Van Camp Says Life Loss Heavier Than That Caused By Auto mobiles. Pierre, S. D., June 23—(Special) Owing to the illness of a deputy, W. N. Van Camp, state fire marshal, wua unable to attend the firemen's tournament in Deadwood, where he was scheduled to deliver an address, but he sent the address which was read before the convention. In this talk one of the important facts which Mr. Van Camp called to the attention of the firement was that there are 116,141 automobiles owned in this state, but that with all this number and the fact that there are many reckless drivers there are more people burned to death in South Da kota in a year than are killed by cars. “Our per capita loss in South Da kota last year was $4.10”, according to the paper. "The property destroy ed by fire last year would have built and paid for 50 schoolhouses costing $50,000 each, or one for practically every county in the state. More is paid by the people of the state for fire waste, mostly carlessly burned than it costs to run the state govern ment." NEW TYPE OF GUARD RAILS ON HIGHWAYS Mitchell, S. D., June 2^—A new type of guard rails for state high ways is being erected this week on the Custer Battlefield highway Just east of Mitchell.

It is said that the cost of the rails will be twice that of the oldfashioned wooden rails, but It is pointed out that the average life of the wooden rail is seven years, the concrete rails shouldi be practical ly Indestructible. The new rails, which will be set up over a stretch of three quarters of a mile, over the fill between the James river and Fire steel creek, are the only ones of their kind in the state. They will be mount ed on reinforced concrete posts, 22 inches high, and sunk into the ground for a distance of nearly ten feet. The rails themselves are each 16 feet long 14 Inches wide and nine inches thick. It is believed they are heavy enough to stand almost any sort of an impact and remain intact. Also, it is pointed out , they are heavy enough to hold almAst any car in the roadi, a thing which the wooden rails never have been able to do. INDIAN YOUTHS ELOPE IN WHITE STYLE Pine Ridge, S.

GOVERNMENT The proposal for government owner *h'P and operation of railroads in the United States Is a menace to the ex iting forms of government. It Is sup ported by those who would destroy the courts and long-estaMIshed com mercial relations. Radicals of this lort favor government ownership as in entering wedge to he followed by die nationalization of all public utili ses and means of production of those commodities which p.fe essential to the public welfare, inc’udlng the coal and rteel industries. Success by them In establishing gov ernment ownership and operation of railroads wou’d.Inevitably result In de tfroylng our republican form of gov ernment, arfi ultimately result In de niul of aP personal rights In private property. Without discussing a political or ;conoirJc result, attention Is called to the fi lanelal results only of govern ment. ownership and operation of rail roads in Italy and Canada, and the ex perience of government operation in •he United States. EXPERIENCE OF ITALY In 1905 the Italian government took >ver the ownership and operation of .ts railroads, which, In 1920, com prised 9,747 miles. It has lost heavily, »nd only occasionally made a small profit. The number of employees has increased from 154,858 In 1915 to 216, >75 In 1920, and they have become an jrganlzed political machine, which, by frequent strikes and continued oppo sition have made efficiency of opera tion impossible. Since Premier Mus solini assumed control of the govern ment the number of employees has )een reduced by 40,000 In an effort to Improve the conditions, but he Is now offering to lease the roads to private operators. The deficit for 1920 amounted to 5165,931,943, fir $17,205 per mile of road. The capital Invested In these railroads Is about $1,700,000,000, and Mussolini has no expectation of earn ing any interest on this Investment, ilthough at 6 per cent It should yield 1112,000,000 annually. Disgusted with jovernment ownership, the Italian gov frnment has offered to turn over the •allroads to private enterprises. Under ihe leases proposed by the premier the •perators will be entitled to earn 7 per cent profit. Excess of profit above ^OWNERSHIP 7 per cent and not exceeding 10 per cent will be divided between tha lessees and the government, and after the profit exceeds 10 per cent, leasees must reduce passenger fares and freight rates. If the experience of Italy In 1920 la the operation of her railroads ur«ne t* be repeated In America with a toss of $17,206 per mile of road, there weald be an aggregate annual loss from oar 260,000 miles of railway of $4,420JB00r 000 and the number of railway em ployees would approximate ' 5,720,009 or three times the present number. EXPERIENCE OF CANADA The Canadian government owns and operates the Canadian national rail ways, comprising 17,338.3 miles of rail road. The expenses of operation la 1921 exceeded the revenues by $18* 092,902 and In 1920 by $30,842,970 or an average annual loss per mile of road for these two years of $1,500. If the experience of Canada in 1920 and' 1921 were to be repeated In the United States In the operation of our rail roads with a loss of $1,600 per mile of, road, there would be an aggregate an nual loss from our 260,000 miles of railroad of $390,000,000, without any consideration for the taxes now paid by the railroads which amount to over $300,000,000 annually, indicating thaf! under these circumstances there wonld be about $690,000,000 which It wonld, be necessary for the federal govern ment to secure through taxation. i EXPERIENCE OP THE UNITES STATES ; The actual and complete results of the experience of the United State* government in operating the railroad*! commencing January 1, 1918, are not fully known as yet, but the most con servative and reliable statements w* have Indicate that the loss to ihe gov ernment will be above $1 ,S00,000,004 . and the number of employees In creased 292,737. This result character izes this undertaking as one of tb* most unfortunate steps, from a finan cial point of view, upon which oar government ever ventured. The ex perience of the United State* has proved conclusively that the publle In terest Is best secured by private own ershlp and operation provided con-( struetive regulation can be secured.—* Advertisement. 1 5 Pass.
