Recollection.

Mr.. v. r. James this week authorizes
The Sentinel to announce him as can
didate to succeed himself rs County
Superintendent of Public Education.
Mr.. James was reared in the county
and is too well know to need any intro
duction through the columns of The
Sentinel.
He got his scholastic training in the
common schools of the county. at the
Slate Springs Industrial Institute, in
the Winona school and at the Iuka Nor
NAL Institute. His first teaching was
done as an assistant in his home school
at a salary of SIS. 90 per month, he lat
er taught one of the largest schools in
the county and was a member of the
examining board for two years before
being elected to Office. He was active
in the campaign for local taxation
whereby the term of the schools was
increased to six months and the fact
that his vote has increased at every
election warrants the assertion that he
has the confidence of the teachers and
the patrons of the public schools. His
friends claim for him that he has been
the inspiration for much improvement
in the schools of the county and that it
has been through his activities that new
buildings have been erected and sup
piled with some of the latest equipment
His record in the corn club work is we'll
known and it is but just to say that he
should be better qualified now than ever
to serve the schools of the county. and,
that if elected. he will continue to give
the very best service of which he is
capable. 1t might not be amiss to state
that there are other county superinten-
dents of education that have served
longer than he.

GET FARMERS, HIS PLEA.
William II. Manss Tells Ad Club Il
Can Help State.

Pointing out the necessity Of de-
veloping the rural districts of Mary
land as a means of creating more
profitable market for the Baltimore
merchant and manufacturer, William
H. Manns, vice-president and general
manager of the Southern Settlement
and Development Organization, spoke
before the members of the Advertising
Club of Baltimore, at their midday
luncheon at the Hotel Emerson. The
speaker declared that the lack of prog
ress made in the development of the
untitled acreage of Maryland was
somewhat alarming and asserted that
1t was time that some concrete steps
were taken to attract farmers here
from other States to assist in the de-
velopment of the country sections and
In increasing the wealth of the State.
Mr.. Manss went on to say that at the
present time he had list of 5000
farmers, merely eking out an exist
ence in other States, who were anxious
to come to Maryland, but that it took
money to bring these people here and
that it was up to the people of the city
and State to do something.

ELECTRICITY TO
PROPEL WARSHIP
BattIeship California is the First
to Be So Equipped.
DANIELS AWARDS CONTRACT
Electric Drive Cheaper To Construct
Than a Turbine Installation,
Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels Says.

Washington. - Electric propelling
machinery for the new battleship Cali
fornia, the first battleship of any
nation to be equipped with the electric
drive, will be built by the General
Electric Company of New York for
$4S1, 900. Award of the contract was
announced by Secretary Daniels.
The California is under construc-
ton at the New York Navy Yard,
which submitted an estimate of $751;
900 for a steam equipment. Mr.. Dan
iels' decision to install electric ma
chinery has created keen interest in
naval circles and some officers think
the success of the experiment would
mark as great an advance in marine
propulsion as did the advent Of the
steam turbine.
mot only is the electric drive
cheaper to construct than turbine in
stallation," said the Secretary, "but
it offers also superior economy in
operation, a reduction in weight and
utilization 0f full power in backing.
The latter is an important military
feature, which is not obtainable in an
all-turbine installation on account of
limitations of space and weight i'm
posed in the design Of the ship.
"There is further advantage that
it will be unnecessary to provide a
backing turbine as reversal of the
shafts will be accomplished through
the motors instead of by turbines"
The American collier Jupiter was
the first naval vessel to be equipped
with electric propulsion.

VIV|ANI SAYS
PEACE IS NOT NEAR
French Premier Quoted in The
Hague Dispatch.
INDEMNITY ONLY TO BELGIUM
Editors OF Paris Papers In Heart-To-
Heart Talk Told Not To Lead
Their People To. Ex-
pect One.

The Hague. - Absolutely reliable
news has reached here of highly i'm
portant statement by M. Viviani, the
French Prime Minister, that there is
no question of peace in the near
future, and that France, at least, has
little, of any, hope of obtaining war
indemnity from Germany, even if de-
feated.
This statement was made to the edi-
tors of all the leading Paris newspa-
pers, who M. Viviani summoned to his
working cabinet for heart-to-heart
talks on the situation. The Prime
Minister said:
at is highly advisable not to give
the people the impression that peace
will be concluded in the near future.
"It is also highly advisable not to
lead the people to believe that we shall
obtain an important monetary in
demnity from Germany"
By 1--WE" the editors understood M
Viviani to refer to France. After their
chat with the Premier their convic
ton was that any indemnity that could
be wrung from Germany would not be
heavy enough even to cover the cost
of the ruin of Belgium, and that Eng
land and France, as guarantors of he1
neutrality, would be in honor bound tc
hand over to Belgium the total sum
that Germany may pay.
; Paris editors also understand that II
Is the opinion of the French Govern
ment that, contrary to what might be
expected at the winding up the great
war, the peace preliminaries will oc
cupy very little time. Once peace is
seriously mentioned on both sides hos
