Prohibition in Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 9.-Gov-
ernor Hays signed the Statewide
Prohibition bill which prohibits the
granting of further saloon license
for 1915, but does not disturb those
already granted.
Forestalling the effect in Pulas-
XII County, Judge Asker granted the
petition of Little Rock saloon men
for licenses at 10:30 am, forty min
utes before the measure was signed.
Fifty saloons opened Immediately.
Arkansas is the sixteenth State
with a Statewide Prohibition law
among it's statutes, it was said to-
day at the national headquarters of
the Prohibition party here. John
A. Shields, headquarters secretary,
said ghe Arkansas law, as he under
stood it, provided for complete Pro-
hibition by Janhp1, 1916.
Some of the other States will not

us authority to organize and submit the
question to the people or voters of the
district.
Mr.. Jake Caldwell spoke of the pres
ent condition of the roads here and of
the neighborhood gravel road built near
his place some years ago, and that just
now this was the only part of the road
on which horse could strike trot.
This road was built under no special
system, but just graveled and some
eight years afterward covered with an
other coat of gravel. This was evil
dence of the stability of gravel roads.
J. M. Brice spoke of the record in
population made by an old county in
North Carolina under a system of hard
roads improvements, which was one
hundred percentage or more over the
old system.
Mr.. Sam Wade called attention to the
gravel streets in Union City, saying that
before these roads were built Geo.
Dahnke could not deliver ton of coal
with a team OF four horses. He can
now deliver two tons at load with two
horses. He said that what could be
done in Union City could be done in
Number Thirteen.
At the conclusion of the meeting, at
Mr.. Bratton's suggestion, motion was
made and carried unanimously that the
meeting indorse w. G. Reynolds for
appointment at the hands of the Gov
ernor as road commissioner for West
Tennessee. This appointment will come
under the new road law, whereby three
commissioners, one for each grand d.
vision of the State, are to be appointed.
The meeting adjourned until Friday,

GERMAN NAvY'S DUTY is
TO PROTECT The COAST
Admiral Won Koester to British
Inaction.

Berlin, via London, Feb. t.
Grand Admiral Won Koester, presi
dent of the German Navy League, in
an address at Kiel University to-day
discussed conditions governing the
part to be played by the German
navy in the war. He declared the
relative strength of the German fleet
compared to the Anglo-French-Rus-
sian feet is perhaps one to four. The
British, he added, perhaps estimated
German lust for battle so highly that
they had said to themselves:
Some day they will come and we
shall be able to assume battle in a
situation favorable to u.s."
Another possibility, Admiral Won
Koester stated, was that the British
have a higher regard for the German
fleet than Nelson had for the French
or the Spanish. That the offensive
spirit of the Germans is greater than
the British, the Admiral continued,
can Justly be assumed when one re-
calls that the Germans took an Of
fensive against England's east coast,
whereas the English have not dared
to approach the German coast.
eve are full of the firmest conf
dence in our fleet" said Admiral
Won Koester, but we know that sea
battle means death or victory and
that destroyed fleet cannot be
replaced in the course of the war,
even if it lasts for years. We, there
fore, must be cautious and allow
ourselves to be melted to no deed
which might eventuate in our de-
| feat.
SPIRIT OF NELSON DEAD.
For what would be the situation
if a sea battle took place tomorrow
in which each one of our ships took
hostile ship to the bottom with it,
and perhaps some others? We
would be without a fleet and Eng
land could proceed gradually in its
attacks against our coasts. And
you can be sure after the conduct of
England in our colonies that no city
would be spared. Our coast from
Emden to Memel would be most Sc
verely threatened. Landing at
tempts, if they were sufficiently we'll
prepared, could succeed at places
most uncomfortably for us.
"Our fleet must protect us under
all conditions and may accept battle
only when it can reckon on victory"
Admiral Won Koester declared the
course of the naval war up to the
present had caused him great sur
prise. He added that the British
Secretary of State for the navy
seven years ago declared that Ger
many would wake up some morning
and find her fleet gone. He also re-
called the utterances of Winston
Churchill, first lord of the British
admiralty, in a speech in London
last September in which the German
fleet was designated as a luxury
and in which he said that if the war
ships did not come out and fight
they would be dug out like rats in
a hole"
after these sayings" Admiral
Won Koester declared, lone expected
other things from the British fleet
than it has accomplished. l am al
most tempted to believe the spirit of
Nelson no longer lives in it."
