THE people OF South Carolina voted
by 10000 majority yesterday for entire
prohibition all over the State. This will
do away with dispensaries and stop the
sale OF beers. wines and all other liquors.

The English people, exasperated be-
yond endurance at the raids OF German
drigibles which have caused the death
OF so many innocent persons, are de-
handing that reprisal be made and that
the Germans be given a liberal dose OF
their rwn medicine.
Two wrongs have never yet made a
right.

LITTLE CASE is WEIGHED
AT NAVY DEPARTMENT
Findings in Trial Of Rear Admiral
Are Now Being Reviewed
by Officials Here.

The case of Rear Admiral William N.
Little, jr.. U. S. N, retired, recently tried
by court-martial at Boston on the charge
of neglect of duty in the inspection Of a
submarine now is at the Navy Depart
ment awaiting the action of Secretary
Daniels. The proceedings of the court.
including the findings, will be subject to
review by the bureau Of steam engineer
ing on technical points and by Capt.
Mclean, judge advocate general OF the
navy, on legal and other points, before
submission to the Secretary OF the Navy.
Several days at least will be consumed
in this preliminary consideration.
Whether the verdict of the court was
for acquittal or conviction is not known.
but the friends of Little are predicting
acquittal. Other naval officers make the
same prediction. basing their belief upon
the short executive session Of the court
following the last testimony and the sum-
ming up.
If there had been a long secret session,
they point out, it would have meant that
the board had found Little guilty of care
lessness and neglect. of duty in passing
the storage batteries on the submarine
K-2, the charge upon which the defend
ant was hailed before the naval court.
The court-martial board is made up OF
Rear Admirals Fiske, Helm. Parks.
