PUBLIC WORKS ARE BUILT Islanders Looking Forward 'With : Great Hopes to Future Develop ments in St. Thomas Harbor. ' ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands. July 5. t (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) These islands have been ma terially developed in some ways since they were purchased by the United States from Denmark less than two years ago. Now that peace has come the islanders are looking forward with great hopes of further developments In the future especially with regard to the harbor of St. Thomas. The islands are under the control of the navy department and the adminis tration of the naval officers and their relations with the local legislature, called the colonial council, have won the friendship of the inhabitants. The revenues of the islands are not suf ficient to meet their requirements and the navy department has appropriated annually $00,000 for public works and the general upkeep of affairs. Coupled with the frequent visits of American money by the forces stationed on the Jslands, the naval authorities have en deavored to give aid in every way. Americanization Is Coins on.

There are three bands composed solely of natives. War-time prohibition is in force. l.ivelv Interest Is Shown. Generally the islanders are showing s. lively interest in American Ideas and customs. ISvidence of this is the en thusiastic celebration of such national .holidays as Decoration day and Inde pendence day when the people join with the authorities in patriotic ex ercises such as saluting the flag, pa rades and other celebrations unknown here before. The same laws and methods of gov Verning the islands as under the Dan ish regime still exist. Lack of change -In this respect is attributed to the war. There is some dissatisfaction and agitation among local political as pirants who want American laws and customs to be extended to the islands. More conservative men do not share "in this agitation but trust that the riecessary changes will be made in time, when congress has decided what form of government the islands shall Jave. FASTER CABLE IS WANTED Honolulu Complains of Many Delays in Paciric Service. HONOLULU, T. H., July 14. (Spe cial.) Talk of the possibility of a new trans-Pacific cable has uncovered the long-standing grievance of local stock "brokers and business men against the poor service of the present cable. A few days ago the cable company an nounced that owing to congestion of business, commercial messages would be delivered a day late. This limit in creased to 30 hours, then to 36 hours, and recently the messages have been two and three days late. The stock brokers and business men will undoubtedly support any project that will insure better and quicker connection with the coast.

When 150 soldiers from overseas, some armless, some legless, some blind and others with a variety of in juries, were feted at a banquet at the Palace hotel in San Francisco last Thursday and taken through San Fran cisco on a sight-seeing trip, the work of the Soldiers' Friend committee be ban. Representatives of the Portland and Seatle lodges of Elks are responsible for the idea and its eventful beginning, which is expected to become nation wide through the efforts of all Elks lodges in this country. Julius J. Berg, exalted ruler of Port land lodge and Geo. O. Brandenburg, chairman of the Pep committee of the Btate Elks association, were Portland's representatives at the meeting at which the organization was formed. Mr. Brandenburg remnined in San Francisco and attended the banquet held for the wounded boys who were receiving treatment at the Letterman General hospital. While Mr. Brandenburg was on San Francisco he received word from the Portland lodge that a position for one of the boys was available and a young man who could fill the job was found, his discharge obtained and arrange ments affected so that he will report in Portland this week for his new work. Incidentally, San Francisco Is charged with lack of patriotic interest. "When we reached the hospital," said Mr. Brandenburg, "we found about 150 wounded men sitting on tfe lawn wait ing to be taken to the hotel. Seven cars was inadequate and as a result we were forced to hire a number of sight seeing busses. Had the appeal been made in Portland we would have re ceived twice as many cars as we asked for." Mr. Brandenburg will outline the plans of the Soldiers' Friend committee to the delegates in attendance at the annual convention of the Oregon State Klks association in Klamath . Falls.

The possibility of Hawaii becoming- "wet" again that is, legally "wet" is remote, indeed, according to Harry Irwin, attorney-general for the territory. A clause in the Sbeppard bill under "which the islands became "bone dry" provides that two years subse quent to the signing of the treaty of peace 20 per cent of the voters may pe tition for a repeal of the measure. Attorney-General Irwin believes that the two-year clause became null and void when three-fourths 'of the states of the Union ratified the constitu tional amendment for national prohibi tion after the first of the year. There is a possibility that Hawaii may become wet to the extent or beer and lisrht wine until the constitutional amend ment goes into effect. It has been reported that Prince J. K. Kalantaniole, delegate Jo congress for Hawaii, may ask congress to let down the bars here from the time that the wartime prohibition statue is discarded until January 1 of next year.

Price-fixing commissions by the government ars the only remedy for profiteering in the ne cessities of life, in the opinion of Will- lam Harmon Black, formerly vice chairman of the war labor board, who sailed today for England and France. He declared that even men who in tended to be fair had been forced into exactions not warranted by the situa tion. "The pressing problem." he said, "is the skyrocket cost of living. It is all paid by the ultimate consumer. The country believes that nearly everybody who can Is profiteering. Nearly every man is raising the price of everything he sells. If nothing is dona to check this abnormal Inflation in prices, the stage will finally be reached where there will be a breaking point to re lieve the tension." Suggesting the remedy of price-fix ing commissions, Mr. Black said as far as the power of the government to cre ate such commission was concerned, I'the supreme court which read 'the rule of reason' Into the Sherman act could read fair prices Into a decision which would validate an act creating a price-fixing commission." He pointed out that the war labor board had fgixed the prices of labor and that the price of wheat had been fixed and maintained that there was no difference In principle in his plan. If the federal government was found not to have jurisdiction over prices of production within the states, Mr. Black propose dthat each commonwealth ap point a commission to regulate prices within its borders. As to the composition of such com missions. Mr. Btack held that the unor ganized consumer should be represent ed, "especially that part of the con sumers who do not produce and who have most bitterly felt the pinch." He suggested that each commission should be composed of a laborer, a capitalist. a railroad man. a steamship avian, a farmer or miner, a manufacturer and a consumer and should Include one woman member. Mr. Black did not say whether he had submitted his plan to the presl dent.

COBLENZ, July 26. (By tne Asso ciated Press.) Reports of marriages between American soldiers and CJerman girls have been received at headquar ters from various parts of the occupied area durlna- the past few days, but as yet no charges have been filed against any of the men. It Is believed most of the marriages were due to misunder standings regarding the anti-f raternl satlon regulations. A week before the treaty waa signed, several of the chaplains through a mis understanding, informed the soldiers that marrlaices were permissible as soon as the Uermans accepted the peace terms. Officers say that a number of marriages took place before this belief was corrected by a special order from headquarters calling attention of of ficers and men to the fact that until the United States ratified the treaty Germany and America technically were at war and the regulation prohibiting fraternisation was still In force. At headquarters It Is said that even nffr the l"nlted Stale, rxtlfirs the treaty marriages with German girls will ba prohibited by an army order. ing at the time ha married Mrs. Frank lin last September, is to bs returned to Vancouver by federal officers for prosecution, according to statements made by army officers at Vancouver barracks.
