Mr.. E. L. Perkins, our county farm

Gently and gave an interesting lecture
on forming farm life, and boys corn
club work. AS a result he secured
the names of the following for enroll
ment in the boys corn club: Robert
Allen, George Simpson, Otto White

Britain. There are many other boys
in this section who should enter this
0rk and we hope Mr.. Perkins can
i1terest them later.
Last Sunday was missionary day at
the Methodist church. A large crowd
was in attendance at Sunday school
and church. Rev. Huneycutt is a

REVIVAL SERVICES CONTINUE
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The revival services which began at
the Methodist church ON April II are
yet in progress, but will likely close
before Sunday.
The attendance has been unusually
good and the interest has been above
the average.
The preaching of Rev. E. NJ. Hoyle,
pastor of the Haywood Street Methc-
dist church of Asheyille has been in
teresting, instructive and helpful and
as a result there has been a number
of converts, with many asking for
special prayer.
The building has been comfortably
filed at nearly every evening meeting
and many people have taken advant-
age OF the opportunity to hear Rev.
Mr.. Hoyle at the morning service. On
last Sunday night the building would
not accommodate those who wished to
hear Mr.. Hoyle's strong and inspiring
sermon on the immortality of the soul.
The length of the meeting will DE
determined by the interest shown In
the services.

"The submarine is a most useful

inadequate for the navy in 1917 even
on a epace footing. The ships then in

break of war is the prime essential to
the defense Of country situated as
is the United States bordering upon
two great oveans. A navy strong en-
oughonly to defend our coast from
actual invasion will not suffice. De-
Tense from invasion is not the only
function of the Navy. 1t must pro
toct our sea-borne commerce and
drive that of the enemy from the sea.
The best way to accomplish all these
objects is to find and defeat the hos
tile fleet or any fits attachments at
distance from our coast sufficient
ly great to prevent interruption of
our normal course of national life.
The current war has shown that a
navy of the size recommended by this
board in previous years can no longer
be considered as adequate to the de-
fensive needs of the United States.
Our present Navy is not sufficient to
give due weight to the diplomatic re
of the United States in

ADMIRAL GEORGE DEWEY THINKS THAT THE U.
S. NAVY SHOULD Be EQUAL TO THE MOST
POWERFUL IN WORLD NOT LATER Than 1875

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 22.-The
American navy should be equal to the
most powerful maintained by any 9TH
er nation of the world" not later than
1925 in the opinion of the Navy Gen
eral Board headed by Admiral Dewey.
The annual report of the board made
public last night, discloses that this
naval policy was formulated by the
body in July last in answer to the fol-
lowing proposition propounded by
Secretary Daniels when the Admin
istration reached its decision to enter
upon a campaign of national prepar-
edness:
What the Navy must be in the fu-
tare in order to stand upon an equal
ity with the most efficient and most
practically serviceable."
The boards conclusions follow:
1.-THE Navy of the United States
should ultimately be equal to the most
powerful maintained by am other
nation of the world. 1t should be
gradually increased to this point by
s.ch rate of development year by
year, as may be permitted by the ia
calities of the country, BIT the limit
above defined should be attained not
later than 1926"
At the same time the board present.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1915-12-22

lower grades which confront navy
officers under the present system, the
board urges that Congress establish
the number of officers in any grade on
the basis OF the total number of offic-
ers in the navy and not by providing
for a fixed number in each grade ex-
cept the lower ones. Additional leg
islation should be sought it says, to
secure proper flow of promotion for
ali officers or the efficiency of the
service generally will suffer.

ers, be authorized in 1916. Secretary
Daniels has recommended to Congress
however, that only two dreadnaughts
and two battle cruisers be authorized
at this time. Under the boards plan
the total expenditure for the five years
including 100000 for the aviation
service and $11,OOO,OOO for reserve
ammunition and material would be
$499,S76iO00, the last appropriations
for which would be made in 1922; the
Secretary's recommendations call for
total expenditure of 1902, 4S2,214, the
last appropriations shown being for
1921, and increases being made over
the boards estimates for submarines
and reserve ammunition. The board
program contemplates the building of
thirteen feet auxiliaries while the sec
rotary recommends only six.
The board highly commends the
proposal to establish a continuing
building policy for the navy, saying it
will sta,balize 1he warship building
industry in the country and tend t 0
reduce contract prices Off new ships.
The board reviews the course of the
European war so far as it involved
naval actions, to reach this conclus-
fon:'
"As to types of ships, the battleship
is still the principal reliance of ma
vies, as it has been in the past"
eBcause of great naval superiority
Of the entente, allies, the report says,
their control of the seas has never
been challenged and they have Sc
ourely held the objective OF all naval
effort Naval warfare has been con-
fined, by reason of this superiority, it
states, to "a double series of minor in
cidents.~ In the first group it places
German commerce raiders. which
have finally been destroyed or driven
from the seas by systematic pursuit, !"
and in the second, the activities of
German submarines, first against al
lied warships, where the high score
obtained is asserted to have been due
to surprise attack, not to inherent
eombatant superiority" and second,
against vessels of the allies. OF this
campaign the report says:
Attacks on Commerce.
after six months of war the sub
marine form drew renewed attention
by its direction against hostile COM
merce. American public attention was
redoubled toward this side Of the war
owing to the humanitarian interests
involved, and to the diplomatic ques-
tons which were raised thereby. To
hastily formed public opinion, it SEEM
ed that submarines were accomplish
ing great military reslts because lit
tie else OF Importance occurred in the
maritime war to attract public atten-
ton. Yet at the present time, when
| the allies have learned in great meas
ure how to protect their commerce, as
they learned a few months previously
Il. protect their navies from the sub
marine menace, it is apparent that
the submarine is not an instrument
| fitted to dominate naval warfare. 1t
appears from British returns that the
| first eight months of this submarine
warfare against British commerce re-
suited in the loss of 1873 merchant YES
sells and IT'S trawlers. The total
British merchant tonnage lost was
not greatly in excess of one-half OF
million; the total loss under all flags
was about $50 tons. In the same time

compliance with the Secretarys re-
quest for "a program formulated in
the most definite terms, planned for
consistent and progressive develop
ment of tbs great defensive arm of
the nation"
Details of the boards reply are not
revealed, as subsequently in October
OF this year, the Secretary asked the
board to prepare "a building program
for the Navy that will continue over a
period of FIVE years with an expendi-
ture Of about $1O0,O0O,OO0 each year
for five years on new construction
only" The Administration plan for
the construction of sixteen capital
ships within five years is ofunded on
the boards answer
The Great Future.
At the same time the board again
developed its idea of the place the
American navy should hold in the
world in. the following language:
"The General Board believes that
the course of the present war in Eu
rope affords convincing reason for
modifying the opinion which it has ex
pressed for the past II years as to the
proper size of the Navy. A navy in
firm control of the seas from the out
