out Of politics through the establish

"As Europe increases the number and
size of her dreadnaughts. our Govern

our dreadnaughts. Why? Because we
know that in case of war it would be
silly for US to attempt to fight European
dreadnaughts with a fleet of old-fash-
ioned wooden frigates. This is our Gov
ernments position IN regard TO our
navy, whereas it is exactly the reverse
in regard to our business Tor while Eu-
ropean countries have been building up
great powerful business dreadnaughts in
the way of large industrial units. our
Government has been destroying cur
business dreadnaughts by tearing down
our great industrial units; and 1t has
the temerity to tell us that we can sue

Secretary of War Garrison recognizes
the vast moment Of the problem which
his department is called on to help
solve by submitting a general bill for
revision OF the military system. This
is reflected in a letter he has sent to
Brigadier General Macomb, head Of the
War College.
All commanders of coast defense dis
tricts have been instructed to make A
study of the fortiiications under them
and report on the methods Tor impro\-
ing them and bringing them up to date.
These reports are to be combined with
data originating here for use Of the
recently created general board to study
the defense of the country.

OBREGON At CELAYA
FACES ANN|H|LAT|0N
Cut OFF From Base, He Is Be-
tween Villa and Bandera
With $4,000 Men.

General. Obrezon's army of Carran-
zistas, which administered so disastrous
a defeat to the Villa forces at Celaya.
Is facing what appears to be almost
certain annihilat'on at the same point,
according to dispatches reaching Wash
ington today.
Obreson's communication with the
Carranza base at Vera Cruz has been
practically severed by Gen. Juan Ban
dero and a force OF Zapatistas, said to
be 1000 strong. Villa himself, with an
army estimated at 5000, Is making plans
to move against Obregon from the north.
and the position OF the CarranZa general
Is SAID to be perilous.
Although Washington daily hears ru-
mors Of the Presidents intention to rec
ognize the Carranza faction In Mexico,
officials find II hard to reconcile such
rumors with the fact that Carranza' 8
chief general and the flower OF his army
is apparently on the verge Of destruc-
tiOn.

Big Increase Shown in
Acreage of Potatoes

tremendous increase in the acreage
Of early potatoes planted in the United
States this year is shown in report
on the potato situation from the truck
crop specialist OF the Bureau of Crop
Estimates.
BY far the greatest increase is in the
eastern shore region of Virginia, the
greatest early potato section Of the
United States. The increase there Is
from 75.ON to 10000 acres, or e5 per
cent.
This acreage is in Accomac and
Northampton counties. In 1902. the
census year. the acreage in these coun-
ties was but 3o,s75. This makes an in
crease in six years of 22S per cent.

Serious consideration. however, was

business. and in a tariff made on a
log-rollinE basis only. Those beliefs be-
long to antediluvian times and have no
place In the economics of our present
reconstruction period. So long as those
archaic theories are persisted in and
the attempt is made to fit them to mod
ern actualities, neither the South nor
the nation can enjoy the prosperity the
great new world offers. Whatever
your politicians may think. however.
they may act. do not you business men
agree with me that the only way for
the new South to have her proper place
in the great new world is by declaring
for naticnalism. for cooperation, for u
tariff for prosperity only, prosperity for
one and all. II so, ! believe that this
Commercial Congress before 1t adjourus
should pass ringing resolutions to this
effect; that It should publish them
broadcast throughout the country. and
place them on file at Washington. BY
so doing 1t would not only render q
great service to the South. but an in
estimable service to the entire coun-
try.'
