manufacturer, captain of industry and
capitalist, is several times million

YIRGINIANS MUST GET ALONG
WITH LESS LIQUOR IN FUTURE

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov Like Geor-
gians did in the month of April, anti
cipating the Georgia prohibition laws
which went into effect on May /, Vir-
ginians have laid in large supplies OF
whiskey wine and beer, it is said, in
anticipation of the lew Virginia pro-
hibition laws which went into effect
today; and like the private supplies
of certain Georgians, the private sup
plies in the Old Dominion will soon
run dry and individuals who want a
drink will be compelled to fall back
or the small monthly allowance pre-
scribed by the law
The Virginia law is even more strict
in the shipping limit than is the.
Georgia law. In this state, at present,
an individual can order two quarts of
whiskey in a month, or four quarts
of wine, or forty-eight pints of beer
But in Virginia the lawmakers fixed
a limit of one quart of whiskey per
month, one gallon of wine and three
gallons of beer.
A Tightening of the reins by the At
lanta police authorities within the
last few days has caused an advance
in the price Of blind tiger Nhiskey OF
course, the blind tigers, ever since the
present Georgia laws went into effect,
have demanded and received higher
price for whiskey than the purchaser
would have to pay for similar grades
in other times. but the police have
lately made their operations SO dam
gerous that they are now charging as
much as $4 per quart for whiskey
that ordinarily brings only $3.50 per
quart.

DEUTSCHLAND IS
AT NEW LONDON
On SECOND TRIP

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. THE
German merchant submarine Deutsch-
land, which arrived from Bremen last
light, had on board a cargo of seven
hundred and fifty tons of dyestuffs,
medicines and chemicals The twenty
one day voyage through the North
Sea and across the Atlantic was de-
clared to have been uneventful by the
snir's agents here.
Preparations are being made to un-
load the Deutschland's cargo as soon
as permission is granted by customs
officials here.
Capt. Koenig, commander of the
submarine, and Capt Hinsch, chief
representative of the Eastern For
warding Co. here, were both uncom-
municative concerning the trip of the
Deutschland this morning, but prom
ised to see newspaper men later dur
irg the day.
Crowds of curious persons thronged
the dock of the Eastern Forwarding
Co, early this afternoon, but none of
these were able to see the Deutsch-
land, so closely guarded is the ves-
sci.
The Deutschland was submerged for
only 120 miles, near the British coastfi.

FLOUR AND GRIsT MILLS
SPRING UP IN SOUTH

COLUMBUS, Ca, Nov. 1.-The indus
trial Index says in its issue TO-! this
week:
THE establishing of more and more
-four and grist mills in the Southeast
is another evidence of the substantial
and general character of the crop di-
sersifcation that is building solid
foundation for prosperity in this part
OF the country.
with this crop diversification, tire
development of lands for agricultural
purposes continues steadily by in
yestors of other sections as we'll as by
local people. A notable instance is the
formation of company with head
quarters at zellwood, Fla, and with
capital stock of $5,0O0,0OO to develop
FL extensive area of Florida land which
il has acquired. The erection of build
ings and founding of industries will
be part of the development program.
A company has been formed at Bruins
wick, Ga, with capital stock of $780,
800 to develop lands for colonization
purposes.
"a great volume of construction
work continues steadily in the South
-ast, with indications that there will
ac minimum interruption in the win
ter season."

U. S. Asks Information.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Ger
many has been asked to furnish the
United States any information the i'm
rerial government may have concern
ing the sinking by submarines of the
British steamers Marina and Rowan
more. The request was forwarded, ii
became known last night, through the
American embassy at Berlin.
1t is understood the state depart

sources and survivors of the ship
because it was considered desirable
tC assemble, at the earliest possible
moment, complete information, par
ticularly regarding the Marina, on
which several American horse tenders
apparently lost their lives. The re-
quest is informal and is intended in
10 sense as an intimation that Ger
man submarines have violated inter
rational law or the pledges of the
German government to the United
States
While tie Marina is the first vessel
on which American lives have beer

she was attacked without warning

more, which, admittedly, sought des.
perately to escape, there seemed tt
be only one point to clear up-whethel
the submarine actually fired upon the
boats leaving the ship, as alleged by
survivors.
1t may be week or more before
the German reply is received as the
submarine, or submarines, which
made the attack probably would moi
return to their bases and report un.
der several days. Unless there is an
unreasonable delay at Berlin no seri-
5 action will be taken here, pend
ing the reply even though complete
information from other sources
should make it evident theat there

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. Sec
retary Lansing t; day authorized the
statement that the present national
political campaign in progress over
the United States would not affect in
any way the Wilson Administrations
investigation of submarine attacks or
merchant vessels, and that there has
been no change in the policy of the
belligerent activities.
He said further that no decisive ac-
ton will be taken by the Washington
government in the case of either the
Marina or the Rowanmore, or in sub
sequent attacks, until Germany has
replied to inquiries for that govern
ment's version of the attacks in ques-
tion. It was also stated that the
American embassy as Berlin had been
instructed by the state department at
Washington to ask the German gov
ernment for an investigation of the
Marina and Rowanmore incidents, and
not for an explanation of the reported
attacks,
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador at Washington, has re-
quested his government to transmit
him wireless as quickly as possible all
available details concerning the sink
ing of the Marina.

Arrived During Early Morning.

NEW LONDON, Conn, Nov. THE
German submarine Deutschland ar
rived in the harbor here early this
morning.
Captain Koenig said the Deutsch-
land left Bremen ON October TO- and
made the trip here without special in
cident The crew comprises % men.
The Deutschland appeared in the
cutter harbor shortly after midnight
and proceeded to the dock of the
Eastern forwarding company.
The Deutschland was said to have
a large cargo of chemicals.
The big merchant submarine was
closely guarded during this morning.
and no visitors of curious persons per-
mitted TO get more than glimpse Of
tie blockade-runner The German
steamship Willshad, which mas been
here since the beginning of the war,
protected one side Of the Deutschland
with floating gate pier and the river
tank protected the others. Members
Of the crew of the Willshad and spec
ial detectives kept visitors away from
the vicinity of the submersible, and
piling under the pier of the Eastern
Forwarding Co., where the Deutsch-
land is at anchor, was heavily wired
to prevent possible attempts upon the
ship during its stay in port.

Although very large number OF
the sailors in port are English sub
jects, there are also a great many
from other lands. These men, ac-
cording to the report, are largely
either deserters from military service
or are avoiding sevice by coming to
this county. Many of these men are
Greeks who contract for return voy-
age to British ports and desert their
shir on this side without pay. This
according to Dr. Webster, is one rea-
son for the noticeable shortage in the
supply of seamen which many ships
have suffered from when preparing
for the return trip.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS BANIsHED

The much discussed liquor advertising bin has been
passed by the legislature and when it becomes effee-
tive will effeetualy restrain propreors Of newspapers
throughout the state from publishing the announcements
Of saoonsts and others who deal vnous, spirituous
and malt liquors
While the Commercial does not publish liquor adj
vertsements had nothing say either for or against
the enacton of the forbidding their publication
believe that this is matter that should be decided
by the editors individuals rather than the lawmakers
Of the state 1t is largely matter Of what is right or
wrong and there is an old adage the effect that leach
the keeper of his conscience, which, in our
opinion applies to this case.
Without any desire to disparage the new law, we
very much doubt if it will have the deterrent effect upon
the sale Of liquor which its proponents claim for it. An
examination of the files of Mississippi newspapers re-
veals the fact that very few whiskey advertisements
have appeared therein for several years past and it us
generally known fact that the salooniss make most of
their announcements to the public in circulars sent
through the mails The sending of these circulars
not be estopped except through national legislation and
until Congress takes action in the matter liquor dealers
will experience little difficulty in advertising their
wares.
Under the provisions of parliamentary procedure
the bill up for reconsideration, but all efforts
to defeat it are likely to prove Intellectual, and it vii
doubtless ultimately find its way the statute books OF
the commonwealth. The Commercial favors the rigid
enforcement of all laws, and believes that publishers OF
newspapers throughout the state will cheerfully comply
with the provisions of the statute banishing liquor
advertisements from their pages

Those who take bookkeeping often
