MR.. DANIELS ENDORSES
LLOYD-GEORGE'S VIEW
Country is Gradually Coming to Eng.
Hshman's View on the Liquor
QuestiOn-Tar Heels in Navy.

Washington, March 30.-Secretary
of the Navy Daniels today indorsed
the views of David Lloyd George who
has threatened to prohibit the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in Great Britain.
Sometime ago Mr.. Daniels said, he
was talking to man from Whining
ton about prohibition. The Whining
tonian said that he desired the pro-
hibition law enforced until the state
was absolutely dry.
81 told the man that he had been
an opponent Of prohibition when we
were fighting liquor in the state" said
Mr.. Daniels. YES he answered, but
since that time I have bought inter
ests in a number of manufac cturing
plants, and we need our men, every
day. Prohibition is the thing
"The country is gradually coming
to that mans view. Lloyd George is
right"
Mr.. Daniels made public figures to-
day showing that of the 50,565 men
enlisted In the personnel of the navy
$50 of them reside in North Carolina.

LIQUOR DEALERS ALARMED.

The New York State Wholesale Liq-
uor Dealers Association at its recent
convention gave most serious atten-
ton to the movement for nationwide
prohibition. The annual report sum-
med up the situation which confronts
the liquor industry traffic as follows:
s'The events of the last twelve
months have created situation more
grave than has ever before confronted
our trade" the annual report said.
formerly we were called upon to op-
pose town and county option. Today
we must combat State and nationwide
prohibition. Originally our opponents
were few and scattered. Today they
are many and united"
That is a clear and truthful state
ment OF the situation. We were writ
ing short time ago, for instance, OF
ten prohibition States, little later OF
fourteen, still later of sixteen; now we
find that the number must be put at
nineteen. In the order of their ad-
mission to the apti-alcohol column

ALABAMA TAKES POSITION
TO ENFORCE NEUTRALITY
Lying in Channel to Sea She
Takes on Supplies
CONFERENCE At NORFOLK
1t Is RumOred That Merchant Ships
Have Furnished Supplies to
the Allied Fleet-Offic-
ials are Reticenk

Newport News, Va, March 39.-En-
foreement of neutrality Of the United
States in the port of Norfolk and New
port News was the subject of q pro-
tracted conference at the Norfolk navy
yard late today following the arrival
in Hampton Roads of the battleship
Alabama which took a commanding
position in the channel to the sea and
remained there tonight taking On am
munition and supplies.
Participating in the conference were
Rear Admiral Beatty, commander OF
the Norfolk navy yard; Rear Admiral
Helm, commander Of the reserve At
1antic fleet who arrived on the Ala
bama and Norman R. Hamilton, col
lector of customs for the port Of
Norfolk and Newport News. While the
conference at the navy yard was in
progress Capt Max Thierichens, COM
mander of the German converted
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich, still In
dock here, was c1oseted with deputy
customs officials in the Newport News
Office.
At the conclusion of the conference
at the Norfolk navy yard, government
officials refused to discuss It. Pri-
marily, it was learned, the Alabama
came to Hampton Roads to guard the
neutrality interests of the United
States between a German mGn-of-war
within an American port and q feet
of warships of the European allies
which is lowering of the Virginia
capes That the situation thus pre-
sented demanded the presence OF q
warship Of the United States was Esu-
orally admitted.
Reports that allied warshfps which
have been off the capes since hte Cor
man commerce raider arrived here
had ventured within the three-mile
limit and that merchant ships had
furnished them with supplies had been
circulated here for several days be-
fore the sending Of the Alabama. As
to merchant ships it was said that
they had taken deck loads Of coal at
ter filling their bunkers and taking on
other cargo. In the case Of one steam
er particularly which was called to
the attention of the authorities, Col
lector of Customs Hamilton tonight
said that investigation disclosed she
had brought coal from abroad which
she delivered to British warship and
that she did not get it In the United
States.

In this last comparison, we see that
Wayne county stands 5th in total crop
values and 18th in per acre yields;
yet upon the declaration Of the Euro
pean War last fall, the whole county
was thrown into commotion and dis
tress by the greatest economic crisis
that has been known in the county
for many years. It was found, how
ever, by studying the economic condf-
tions of the state through the North
Carolina Club at the University that
this crisis was not statewide, but only
local in its nature. That only the cot
ton and tobacco growing counties were
suffering acute1y from such . depres-
sion, and that the counties that pro-
duced most cotton were suffering most.
Scotland county, famed as q cotton
fu M for
producing power-$4z.02, was almost
bankrupted. On the other hand the
counties of the western part Of the
state with the lowest per-acre crop
producing power and with their diver
sified self-suffering farm system suffer-
ed less. Hon. Clark Howell says, "Our
one-crop mania is economic insanity" !"
Are we going to make q practical ap-
plfcation OF the lesson taught to us
by the European War, or are We going g
30 simply go on as heretofore and allow
our county 10 remain q Sleepy Hollow
community? Any modern Board of
Trade knows that the prosperity
around the city is much more import
ant for its growth than any new in
dustrial plant that can be built in the
city.
Farming should be suficing and
then commercial, not only for the we'll
being Of the individual farmer but for
the prosperity of the town and COM
munity as we'll. Tt is easy to see that
the farmer who makes what he needs
on his farm and puts only his surplus
acreage and time into the production
Of cotton and tobacco, cares very little
about what the prices of these com
modities will be in the fall. For then
he sells them when he p1eases and moi
when the creditors say sell them. He
is Independent. But as long as his
wheat-bfn is in Minneapolis, his smoke
house in Chicago, and his corn crib ir
Iowa he will never be Independent;
and sooner Or later the community viii
suffer because of such a system Of
farming. For the nearly self-sufficins
a community is the less it will suffer
in the time of crisis.

RESPECTING THE Law.

Charlotte Observer, March 16.)
One feature in the annual report OF
the American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. which struck The Observer as
worthy Of being passed along, is an
evidence of the company's respect for
the laws Of the country. We are told
that rom legal standpoint, ''the Bell
system is in an excellent condition,
there being no suit pending against the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.
or any of the associated companies,
charging any violation of any State or
dent Vail, in recognition of the con-
ceded fact that regulation and control
by commissions or business courts have
become a permanent feature of our
economic laws, advises support and
cooperation of organized business.
The system of regulation and control
could not have been expected to be
perfect from the start, he says, yet it
is being improved, and it is for the
public to combine in encouragement
and support OF these processes. Above
all should there be "an abandonment
of contemplation of all conclusions
when they differ from selfish desires
or opinions based on cne-sided and In
sufacient Information. Tt is for the
public to realize that any particular
gain, II at the expense OF other inter
ests, is no permanent gain at all, that
all business or public prosperity IL
based upon each party to any transac.
ton getting some benefit from it." This
is deliverance that does much homo,
to the head OF the telephone company
and it demonstrates spirit which
shou-d dominate all corporations con
Injected with public service. Expert
ence has proved that it is best fol
business OF all kinds to live within th,
law OF the land. It is troubled 80,
for those that fail to recognize thi
fact.

Likely Water-Logged.

Washington, March 30.-Eforts to
raise the sunken submarine F-4 off
Honolulu harbor were temporarily sus-
pended today after a hawser with
which the boat was being dragged to-
ward shore snapped.
Rear Admiral Moore reported from
Honolulu late today that the submarine
evidently was waterlogged and too
heavy to be raised by the equipment
employed by the searching feet. That
destroyed any faint hope that might
have been left Of finding any Of the
crew of Fl alive.
The vessel lies in As fathoms, 270

ing held while preparations for rails
ing her by pontoons are made.
