Mrs. Salter Entertained. Tren.
ton Chapter. D. A, R. An
nual Chrysanthemum
Fair November 3.

Mrs. T. P. Salter was hostess to
the Trenton Chapter D. A. R. on
Friday afternoon. Despite the fact
that the afternoon was very rainy
quite a number of daughters enjoy
ed Mrs. Salter's charming hospitali-
ty. The business of the afternoon
was planning for the usual Thanks
giving dinner to be given at Wise's
hall. The ladies have been very sue.
cessful in past years and it is hoped
that the dinner this year will be up
to the usual standard in every de-
tail. The funds from this dinner
are to be added to that already on
hand for the erection of a hand
some hall and library. A most in
'teresting historical program was
rendered after which Mrs. Salter
served delicious salad course with
coffee. The chapter was pleased to
have present one of their non-resi-
dent members Mrs. Eva Miller
Jones, also two new members, Mrs.
E. L. Ryan and Miss Salter. The
next meeting will be with Mrs. J..
D. Mathis, the third Friday in No
vember.
The ladies of the chrysanthemum
association met with Mrs. r. L..
Posey on Monday afternoon. Mrs.
y. B. Knight was elected President,
Miss Maude Belts vice-president,
Mrs. Will Posey Secretary and
Treasurer. The funds are used for
keeping, improving and identifying
the cemetery. a dinner is to be
given along with the annual flower
exhibit on the third of November
at the Baptist parsonage. There
will also be a baby parade and all
parents are urged to enter their lit
tie ones under four years of age.
Being given for worthy cause, it
is hoped the ladies of the associa-
tion will meet with perfect success.
Miss Maude Bettis is at oome af-
ter a short visit to her sister Mrs.
Wolfe in Orangeburg..
Mrs. Guner Patton spent the week
end with friends in Columbia.
Mr.. j. w. Miller spent Monday
in Augusta.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel B. Posey

Mrs. B. r. Tillman has returned

Rev. Bailie made visits to some

membering the sick too in his
rounds.
Mrs. A. B. Miller's home was
greatly damaged by FIRE on Monday
night, in fact it was considered a
wonder that it was saved. 1t is
thought that rats caused the fire,
as it originated between the walls
of the parlor and dining room about
one o'clock. The contents of both
the rooms were completely ruined
and the furniture throughout the
house greatly damaged. Mr.. and
Mrs. Miller have scores of friends
who sympathize with them.

EAGAN WILL ASK
INVESTIGATION OF
W|NDBER AFFAIR
Congressman TO Lay Alleged
Violation of Neutrality Be-
fore State Department.

| HOBOKEN, Dec. 4-Congressman
John J. Eagan, of the Eleventh New
Jersey district will ask the State
department today to investigate the
charges made by the Pacific-Ameri-
can Fisheries Company, of Belling
| ham, Wash, that the French cruiser
/ Conde held up the American steamer
Windber on November 13, sent a
| boarding party aboard and took of
| A. c. II. Piepenbrink, steward, as
| prisoner of war.
| The company contends that the
French cruiser violated the neutrality
of the United States in interfering
with the steamer, which was bound
from one American port to another.
According to Captain Emil Jackson,
of the Windber, his ship was held
up by the Conde in the Atlantic
Ocean, $50 miles south of Jamaica.
1--WE sighted the cruiser early in the
morning of November 13, when she
came quite close to us, hoisted the
French tri-color and told us to heave
to-" said the captain. Lieutenant La
Porte, with a dozen French blue
jackets, came aboard and immediate
ly asked to see Piepenbrink, who has
been in the employ of the company
for eight years. Although he has been
in this country for nearly a score of
years, he has only taken out his first
naturalization papers. How the French
knew these facts is a mystery to me-"
Robert Rieser, secretary of the Ho-
boken Board of Commerce, yesterday
received a letter from Piepenbrink,
who is interned in a concentration
camp in Jamaica, in which the writer
declared that he was being treated
with great severity by the English.
Mr.. Rieser Immediately wrote letter
to Secretary of State Bryan, laying
the facts before him.
The windber is lying at the Lacka-
wanna Pier No. here. She is the
first vessel that ever made the trip
from the State of Washington to New
Jersey through the Panama Canal
She carried a cargo of 100000 cans of
salmon. The captain said that ship
ping expenses are reduced at least 80
per cent. by sending the salmon
through the Panama Canal to the
East and reshipping it by rail to vari-
Gus parts of the country.

OLD DBATTLESH|PS
MAY Be ASSIGNED
TO NAVAL MILITIA
Commander Bassett Recon-
mends Use of the Maine for
First Battalion, N. j.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The new
militia act is working well, even
though 1t has been in operation for
a short period only, according To
Commander F. b. Bassett, ir., chief
of the naval militia bureau, in his
annual report today. On the whole.
he says, the naval militia increased
IN numbers during the past year for
while several divisions were disband-
td, number were organized and the
( increase is expected to be even more
marked during the coming year
owing to the enthusiasm and inter-
est aroused by the passage of the
act.
Inspectors reports showed that the
naval militia, with the exception Cf
two divisions of South Carolina, were
qualified to participate in the allot-
ment of Federal funds. Several or
ganizations are top heavy with Of
fcers and petty officers. and In many
cases the rank of the officers is too
high
Because of the difficulty in getting
returns from naval militia officers,
busy with their own affairs, consid-
a cradle government property is not
properly accounted for, and Com
mander Bassett recommends that at
least one competent yeoman be as
signed to each naval militia vessel
TO assist in this clerical work. He
recommends also that some of the
old battleshipS now in reserve be
assigned to a naval militia of GER
. tain States; the reserve officers and
men on the ships to remain aboard
While they are also occupied by the
militia. The plan is for the Illinois
to. be taken to Brooklyn for use by
. ar hot NkaIf
York naval militia; the Maine, to
New York for the use of the
First battalion of the New Jersey
smilitia and the First battalion If
1.-THE New York militia; the Ala
bama to be taken to Boston for the
use of the Massachusetts, naval
militia, and the Kentucky to be
1noored in the Delaware river for the
use of the Second battalion New
Jersey naval militia and the First
ebattalion Pennsylvania militia.
AS the naval militia is a purely
voluntary organization, made up of
business and working men, the time
they are able to devote to naval
militia matters is necessary limited
and should, in the opinion of Com
lnander Bassett, be devoted to drills
and the details of the naval profess
sion. He asserts that they should
not be expected to spend much time
scaling bilges, painting double bot
toms or repairing material, and he
recommends a considerable increase
Of the number of shipkeepers to take
care of this work.
While several adverse comments on
the personnel of IL naval militia
were received from officers of the
regular navy in whose ships the
militia cruised in general, the per-
sonnel was commended for its in
telligence aptitude and efficiency
The necessity of having an officer Of
the navy make the cruises with tho
naval militia on vessels loaned to
the States is strongly emphasized
