WEBB'S SUGGESTION

Allies, Says North Carolina
Congressman.

Spartanburg Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Sept 12.-The
Hon. f. Y. Webb of Shelby N c..
representative in Congress from the
9th district OF North Carolina, and
chairman of the judiciary committee
an address here this afternoon before
mems meeting of the Y. NJ. c. A..
suggested that the United States
should stop the shipment OF muni-
retaliation for the attitude England
has assumed towards our commerce.
He said he believed England would
take cotton off the contraband list if
this country would let it be known
that war supplies from this country
would be cut of. He said he had
suggested such a course to Secretary
OF State Lansing last week, but re-
marked that he would not say what
Mr.. Lansing had replied.
Mr.. Webb said the United States
was the only neutral nation selling
munitions of war to the countries en-
gagged in the European conflict. He
intimated that legislation designed
to stop the sale of American arms
abroad might be enacted by the next
Congress. Passages of his speech
CT eated mild sensation among

DANIELS TALKS ON
NEW MOBILIZATION
Inventors, Chemists, Mathematicians
and Scientists Take Place as
Leaders in Modern Warfare.

Raleigh, Sept 12.-Secretary of
the Navy Josephus Daniels was in
Raleigh tonight and left for Wash
ington on the Seaboard Air Line
train. Asked about the announce
ment he had given out at Washing
ton, Mr.. Daniels said:
"The present European war has
demonstrated that the country that
will win is the country that has the
latest improvements of inventive
genius. We formerly looked only
to the general, aided by the secretary
of the treasury. We have learned
that men are only food for powder
unless they are furnished with muni-
tions equal to or better than those
of other countries. We no longer see
men march in columns to inspiring
music under waving banners. We
fight in trenches and must have guns
that will be effective miles away
Inventors, chemists. mathematicians.
scientists, therefore, take their place
as leaders in modern warfare.
"How can America be prepared for
an emergency? Not alone with big
navy and a strong army. 1t must
have equipment from the best brains
am seeking for the navy prepared
ness to mobilize the brains and
genius and inventive talent of
America. 1t Is gratifying that tho
most important societies in America
have responded to my invitation to
make the patriotic contribution.
With Edison at the head, the board
will render service of the highest or
der and its members are entitled to
the thanks OF the American people.
They serve without compensation
and are prompted to do SO because
their country calls them to patriotic
service.
