HIGH PAY ASHORE
WINS OVER NAVY
IN BID FOR YOUTHS
Admiral MCGOWAN Also Tells
House Committee High Cost =.
of Living Grips Service

Washington, Nov. 23.-High wages
ashore and the increased cost Of living
have seriosly hampered navy recruit.
ing, Rear Admiral MCGOWAN, paymsster
general, told the House Naval Commit
tee to-day, in explanation Of why there
are only about $4,000 enlisted men in
the service, although Congress has au-
thorized total strength of 1900. lie
said it was hoped that a total Of 10000
could be reached by the end of 1918.
Their inability 10 send home enough
money TO keep those dependent upon
them is the governing factor in pre-
venting many men from enlistinG." said
the admiral. From long experience with
the accounts of bluel he said, he
WAS certain a majority had wives,
mothers, sisters or other dependents at
home.
Refreshments now average above So
per cent Of the available men, and the
percentage steadily is going up. There
is something about the life that men
love" Admiral MCGOWAN said. Most
of those who make good in the navy
love II so we'll that they want TO stay"
Aside from slow enlistments, the
witness said, the navy was feeling di-
rectly the high cost of living. The
average cost per man per day for ra-
tions in 1916, he said, was 37.062 cents,
but in the last quarter of that year a
figure of 3s.975 cents was recorded. in
dicating heavy advance for the whole
Of the 1917 year.
Admiral McGowan's estimates showed
that the navy expected 20 pay 20 cents
a gallon for the enormous amount OF
gasolene to be consumed in its air
craft, motor boats and submarines, the
quotation being a heavy advance over
the last previous estimates. 1t was
SHOWN also that the consumption of
fuel oil in the navy probably will reach
5000 900 gallons in 1918, as against
$4,000, 900 two years ago.

Hides Head in the Sands
of Present Prosperity,
MarcOssOn Warns
TRADE WAR WILL
COME WITH PEACE
Writer Tells Salesmanship
Club of Difficulties
Business Faces

The commerce Of the United States
was likened to an ostrich. hiding its
head In the sands Of temporary pros
perity and taking no thought Of the
conditions which will confront it at
the close of the present war, by Isaac
F. Marcosson, the magazine writer,
who spoke before the New York Sales
manship Club in the Cascade Room of
the Biltmore Hotel last night.
Mr.. Marcosson has just returned
from Europe, where he has made an
exhaustive study of present and future
financial and industrial conditions in
France and England. He believes that
it will take great effort and much pres
ent forethought TO keep the United
States from falling into the position
of second rate commercial power at
the wars end.
Not Considered by Allies
az any business man in America,
he said, "now intrenched behind the
bulwarks of fancied security, has any
doubt as to what is likely to happen in
business after the war, let him exam
inc for moment the record, Of the
famous Economic Conference held in
Paris last summer. This conference
met to fix the price Of all the sacrifice
of blood and treasure that the Allies
have heaped and will continue TO neap
upon the huge altar OF the war. by
the terms of the agreement the Entenle
nations bound themselves together py
economic ties and pledged themselves
to present q united economic trout
after the war. -,
"They decided to meet, by tariff dis
elimination, boycott or otherwise, any
individual or organized trade advance
of the Central Powers; TO forego any
sfavored nation relation with the en-
emy for an indefinite period; to con.
serve for themselves before all others
their natural resources during the
period of reconstruction; to make them
selves independent of enemy countries

products essential to their economic

themselves and by special and state
subsidies to shipping, railroads ana
telegraphs.
an short, self-sufficiency becomes the
aim of the whole Allied group, to be
achieved without the aid or consent
of any other nation or group OF ma
tions, be they friends or foes"
Face German Milestone, Too
Mr.. Marcosson does not believe that
the great commercial organizations oil
Germany can be stamped out by what
ever efforts the Entente Powers may
make. He thinks that their tremen-
dous efficiency and the manner IN whlcn
they are already schooling their boys
to take the place of men in the rae
tories will raise them again 10 a
great world power in trade.
"Thus, no matter which way we turn
when peace comes we shall face the
proyerbisl millstones in the. shape OF
two great alliances" he said last night
offence the vital need Of prepared
ness to meet the inevitable conflict
for universal trade. We, as nation
are as unready for this emergency as
we are to meet the clash OF actual
physical combat. Commercial prepared
ness is as vital for the national we'll
being as the training for arms"

BRYAN TURNING
FROM POLITICS
Interest Waning, He Tells
Rotary Club, in Favor
of Moral Issues

William Jennings Bryan told some
$50 members of the Rotary Club at
their weekly luncheon yesterday IN
the Hotel McAlpin that he was begin
ming to lose interest in political and
economic problems, and becoming
more and more interested in moral Is
sues.
He said that he had been in politics
for quite while, and that thirty-sM
wears ago he began expounding the
theory of low tariff, explaining It's
principles so eonscientiously and
plainly that he thought even Re
publican coul0 see its justice.

COOPERATION the Century's Slogan
Mr.. Bryan said that cooperation
was the growing word of the century
and that such organizations as the
Rotary clubs of the country could do
enormous public service by lining up
on the right side in all questions al
fecting public morals. He said the
surest sign of progress in this coun..
try was that the coercive power Oh
the government was less and less APP
piled. He told the Rotarians Of New
York that the Rotarians of Louisville
had recently passed an order that at
none of its functions should any story

dicted this example would be followed
by Rotary clubs and other civic organi'
cations the country over.

Great gaps were made in the villa

was after this repulse that villa went
among his men, rallying them, promis-
ing them that Juarez would be the
prize, once chihuahua was taken, and
that the rich border land of plenty
would be open to them.
Alternating between promises and
curses. the chief, whose own men call
him insane, exerted such an influence
upon the almost beaten bandits that
thew begged to be led once more against
the Carranza positions.
Around the state penitentiary, in the
southwestern part OF Chihuahua, the
battle ragged more fiercely tonight than
at any other point. The Villistas
fought their way into the city from di'
rectiy south of the PRISON and were
battling for possession Of the building,
which they once before had captured,
when darkness caused suspension OF
hostilities.
From the penitentiary to the heart OF
the city the path will be clear for villa

it as a base. Villas old home is close
to the penitentiary, and he to-day
fought in sight of it. Tonight the

chihuahua had ceased and that the
Villistas had been repulsed all along
