The following interesting case occurred in

1t was dusk and a candle placed on the table

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Although the
speech of Winston Churchill, in the
House of Commons gave England every
assurance that her naval power is in
no way threatened, many today believe
the First Lord of the Admiralty deliber-
ately placed his head upon the block
and by one remark in his address left
the way open for his removal as First
Lord of the Admiralty.
Even as he was making his speech, de-
claring that England could lose a
drcadnought each month for twelve
months and still remain superior to
Germany. announcement came of the
loss OF three more British ships. The
collier Khortoum struck a mine and
two merchant ships were reported sunk
bv submarines OIL the French coast.
There is no denying the fact that the
heavy losses sustained by the navy
have greatly concerned England. There
Is much criticism Of the Admiralty. I'm
the clubs and in the ''noar government
circles. the affairs of the Admiralty are
practically the sole topics Of discus
sion. I'm view of this situation, tn,
reference by Churchill TO the making
of any necessary changes in the depart

.HOLCONB Slides
into Revenue JOB
Continued From Flrst Page.


The appointments were announced by
Major Rolcomb this morning after a
conference with Senator Salisbury at
his offices in this city.
When Mr.. Holcomb was asked If he
expected to continue as secretary TO
Senator Salisbury and serve as deputy
collector of internal revenue at the
same time, he said he no longer was
secretary to the senator 81 resigned as
his secretary when / went to the special
session of the Legislature" Mr.. Hol-
comb said. He was speaker Of the House
in the last Legislature Mr.. Holcomb
said Senator Salisbury has not selected
new secretary.
However, Major Holcomb has been
in frequent consultation with Sena-
tor salisbury, and the announce
ment that he is no longer the Sena-
tors secretary will be surprise to
many persons. Major Holcomb also
is Democratic county chairman.
Mr.. Mooney, the new inside deputy,
lives at No. 1909 West Second street.
He was a member Of the recent
House, and supported Mr.. Salisbury
for Senator. He is 30 years of age
and has been active I'm Democratic
politics He was elected Represen-
tative from the Fifth district by one
Of the biggest maiorities ever piled
up in that district For four years
he was chairman Of the Tenth ward
in which ward he was born and has
since lived.
Mr.. Mooney introduced the bill
regulating the hours of employment
of women in the last Legislature, and
came into prominence because OF the
/ aggressive fight he made for the en-
actment of that measure. He made
many friends by his attitude on that
measure in the Legislature. Mr..
Mooney also is a member Of the Ma
I chinists' Union and of the Brownson
Library Association.
The appointment Of Major Holcomb
to be outside deputy. It is thought,
was made as an easy way out of the
/ fight between Henry d. Boyer, of
Smyrna, and John W. Hutchison. of
this city, formerly Of Clayton and
Smyrna, for the appointment. Friends
Of both had been urging them for the
job, which, Il was claimed, should 20
10 a Kent or Sussex man. One man
/ suggested that possibly Mr.. Holcomb
might resign the revenue Job later in
favor Of a Kent man.
