Secretary Daniels returned to Wash
ington at midnight.
Mr.. Daniels explained that he came
here merely to get Mr.. Edison's views
abou. the personnel of the civilian
board. He said he would consult
with the navy engineering board be-
fore making public names Of addi-
tional members.
eve intend to establish a national
laboratory, where experiments may
be made with view to perfecting in
ventions,' Mr.. Daniels said.
The secretary referred to the fact
tat when he became secretary of
navy he found that Simon Lake of
Bridgeport, Conn, one of the two in
ventors of submarines in the United
States, was behind in his payments
and was in danger of not being able
to fulfill government contracts for
submarines.
"I went to Lakes bankers" con-
tinued the secretary, "and got them ito
give him further accommodations so
Il at he could go on with the work.
If I had let Lake go under, we would
have only one submarine builder to
rely on for the future"
Mr.. Daniels said that one object Of
the naval board will be to go to con-
gress and get additional money for
naval work. He added that the pro-
posed board was meeting with ap-
proval throughout the country, that
he had received scores of letters from
senators and representatives indors-
ing the proposal.
"They say" Mr.. Daniels continued,
chat we have millions in men and
millions in money, but we need some
thing more than that. We need ma
chinery and skill What we want to
do, is to bring about mobilization
of the brains of the nation.

however, claim to have repulsed the

satisfaction with the slow progress
against tie Turks, relying on break

tion of their ammunition supply. Ger
many's eagerness to have Roumania
allow the passage of ammunition
through that country to Turkey is
taken to mean that the supply is run

GERMANS STRIKING FROM NORTH
Hindenburg's Troops Star New At
tack on Warsaw, Capturing
Przasnysz.

London, July 15.-Abandoning for
the time their attempt to outfank
Warsaw from tne south, TIE Germans,
probably under Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, who is reported to have
said few days ago that he shortly
would astonish the world, have re-
newed their attack on the Polish CAPT.
tai from the north.
They not only have captured many
prisoners south of Kolno, according
to Berlin, but Faave occupied Przas-
nysz, fortified town so miles north
of Warsaw, which was taken by Won
Hindenburg last winter, but retaken
by the Russians in their counterof-
fensive.
This claim is partly confirmed by
yesterdays Russian official report,
which stated that TIRE Russians in
the face of strong German forces
withdrew to their second line of en-
trenchments.
A Complete Surprise.
This move on the part of the Ger
mans has taken the military critics
completely by surprise. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that Gen. Won Mack
enzen, after being strengthened, would
continue his attempt to reach the
Lublin-C5olm railway forcing the
evacuation of Warsaw.
But, as in all their operations, the
Germans have done the unexpected.
The new offensive probably will be
general and extend from the Baltic
around the East Prussian border to
the Vistula, west of Warsaw, for all
Russian troops in this section must
be kept busy to prevent them from
concentrating at the point where the
Germans hope to break through.
This is the second time Field Mar
shal Won Hindenburg has tried this.
His last effort very nearly involved
the Germans in disaster, owing to
the muddy ground.
Now, however, there are only bad

WON'T CHANGE POSITION
on SHIPMENT OF ARMS

Washington, July 15.-The United
States probably will send within an
other fortnight reply to the Austro-
Hungarian note contending that ex-
tensive shipments of war supplies
from this country to t11e allies are
mot in consonance with the definition
of neutrality"
Unoficially word came today that
Turkey would follow Germany and
Austria in making representations and
should a note from Turkey arrive,
officials would delay sending udeir an
swer so as to inform the Germanic
allies simultaneously of the unalter-
able view of the United States on arms
shipments.
Germany repeatedly has laid en-
phasis on the trade in arms between
the United States and the allies. In
a note replying to representations
from the American government On the
newly proclaimed war zone, the legal
right of the citizens of the United
States to trade in arms was conceded,
but it was argued that it was equally
the right of neutrals "to stop trade
in contraband, especially the trade in
arms with Germany's enemies" be-
cause of violations of otter neutral
rights by Great Britain.
A memorandum from Count Bern
storff, the German ambassador, dated
April 4 was devoted entirely to the
discussion of the alleged liberation
by the United States Of infractions
of international law by Great Britain
and pointed out that it was necessary
in connection with shipments of arms
to take into consideration mot only
the formal aspect of the case but also
tie spirit in which the neutrality is
carried out"
The Austrian note, extracts Of
which have appeared in dispatches
from Amsterdam, points out that the
American government would be cen
titled to prohibit the export of war
materials" if the trade in contraband
takes uae form of dimensions where
by the neutrality of the country will
be endangered"
Details of the American answer
have not been divulged, but it is be-
heved not only that the United States
will cite its right under international
law but will recall precedents in pre-
vious wars in which Germany and
Austria have been interested where
importations of arms were carried on
in extensive proportions.
The state department has not made
public the text of the Austrian note
and will not do so, until the reply is
ready.

Personal LIBERTY
AND PROHIBITION
MIR. j. T. j. Caldwell Discusses Great
Question to Be Decided at
Election September IA.
To t e Editor of The State:

To t e Editor Of The State:
l am fully aware Of the risk any
one runs who ventures to oppose the
prohibition movement which is to
take practical shape in the election
set for September a. He may expect
misconstruction, unfriendliness and
the imputation of gross, selfish mo-
tive; and he should not be surprised
if he be charged with being a de-
PRAYED sot, or the hired agent of the
makers and sellers of liquor. But 1
presume that "the otner side" will
be allowed to say something in The
State.
That movement, formerly carried
on by rational argument and appeal
to humane sentiment, has reached the
point of intolerance of all who op-
pose it. l do not say t-at all prohl-
bitionists mean to be unfair; but a
large portion of them, as little as they
suspect it, are infested with the same
spirit of domination and compulsion
which has led to all religious and
political prosecutions. Of course the
kind of discipline in this case is very
different from that employed in the
instances to which l have referred,
and this discipline is much milder in
degree; but in eacn case there is the
same insuferable spirit of meddling
in mems private lives, and endeavor-
ing to compel them 70 lead the life
that happens to suit the sect or party
undertaking to regulate affairs.
l do not mean to decry the agita-
ton of Uae cause of temperance. 1t
has effected great good throughout
the United States and in Canada; by
in large measure closing the saloon,
the hotbed of drunkenness, immoral
ity and crime; by leading thousands
of men to moderation, and many Of
them to tootal abstinence from alco-
holic drink in their own persons; by
causing individuals and corporations
to refuse employment 70 excessf7e
drinkers, and to forbid employes to
drink alcoholics at all willie at work;
and above all, by inducing general
sentiment of opposition to and con-
0emnation of intemperance. But waat
was a campaign of defense against
an evil has grown to be war of in
vasion and conquest, disregardful Of
mems individual right to regulate their
own lives and ready 70 sacrifice the
comfort of a hundred men for the
bare chance to benefit one; and 1t has
become, in principle, as far removed
from temperance as religious persecu-
tions is from Christianity. And since
the movement ! as received consider
able accessions in the way Of numbers,
a good many persons, yielding to the
propensity to follow the crowd
have Joined in a clamor as irrational
as it is homes. This propensity largely
controls all gregarious animals, from
a flock of sheep or herd-of cattle to
communities of men. Of course there
are others WI o join "the crowd with
the purpose of getting some profit for
themselves, but 1 am glad to, say tha;
I think that but small percenf age OF
the prohfbitionists are of that inferior
stripe. This swaying of the indivi1ua
by "u:e crowd" is not by intellectual

il 29 Of the ~ counties of the Stale,
a man can get MS whiskey or wine
or beer only by ordering II from out
side the State and can ge: only one
gallon per mont and must keep it at
his home or lodging room. How his
consumption of alcoholic beverages IN
these circumstances can disturb the
peace or happiness Of society. can
not conceive. Indeed, the case is too
plain for discussion.
BY the terms of the act of the legls-
lature, the ballots cast at the election
in September are to be worded, cit er
For the manufacture and sac of al
coholic liquors and beverages in South
Carolina" or Against the manufac-
ture and sale of alcoholic liquors and
beverages in South Carolina If the
first named ticket wins the liquor laws
of the Stare will be left as they now
are; if the second named ticket wins
all men in the State, except dispensary
boards, will Il enceforth be deprived OF
the privilege of having liquors, wines
or beer sent them from any place with
in or outside the State, and all dispen-
saries will be wound up and closed on
or before December 81, next. The form
of ballot looks very much like a drag
ne. designed to entrap all who are
opposed to either the dispensaTy or
the manufacture of alcoholic liquors
in the State into voting THEMSELVES
out of the right to order such things
from any place in the world. 1t is not
fair; because, if a man wants to Sc
cure his right to order from outside
the State, he must vote for the dis
pensary system and for the manufac-
ture of liquors, etc. in the State,
nett er of which things he may desire
or approve of. And if he wishes to
vote against the dispensary system or
against the manufacture of liquor in
the State, he must vote away his own
and everybody else's right and power
to order from outside the State.
1 intend to vote "for the manufac-
ture and sale, etc." although opposed
to both u e dispensary system and the
of liquor in the State, be-
cause l do not intend to help to de-
prive the people of South Carolina of
the right to have alcoholic beverages
sent to them from other States or
countries. The principle of personal
liberty. to my mind, is infinitely more
than tie question Of the
sale or manufacture of alcoholic bev-
erages. The fault will not be mine if
by my vote l assist the sale or manu-
facture, but the fault Of the legislature
who force upon US the alternative of
either favoring those two things OF
else abandoning Our rights. To be
frank, however, I may add
Il at I am willing to leave the matter
of dispensaries to the people of each
county; they are better judges than
l of what is good for them.
In conclusion, l would say that it
is the duty of every man holding the
opinions here written to register and
TO vote the ticket of mis- choice. If any
one is too lazy or too timid or too
polite to do so, he will have only
himself to blame if his preference does
not prevail. He should not leave it to
others to take care of him.

 Force Foreigners Out.

Washington, March 5.--The condi- tions of lawlessness in Mexico City were admitted by administration off cials today to be alarming. Secre- tary of State Bryan decsribed them as "very bad"
 The opinion was expressed ill naval circles that it may be necessary again to utilize the United States warships in Mexican waters for moral effect The British, Italian and Brazil ian ambassadors called at the state de- partment and had conferences with the officials there relative to the con- ditions of their nationals in Mexico City.
 Additional details of the utterly ir- responsible manner in which Mexico City is being misgoverned came through one of the embassies at Wash ington direct from Mexico City. It is said 300 representative citizens and merchants of Mexico City called on General Oregon to reason Witb him about the lack of preparations by the militray government to avert fam inc and the probable riotous conse- quences. The reply of General Obre- gon it is stated was to send the conl- mittee of 300 to jail.
 Another committee of citizens went l to Obregon and told him.. as given 1 cut yesterday by Secretary Bryan, that the merchants of the. city had sub- scribed funds for the purchase ol food. They asked for transportation i for the food from the interior. but the answer to that was the military order supprnssing railway traffic.
