Mrs.Daniels Makes Friends
Of Navy Yard Guardians

Mrs. Josephus Daniels is quite as
thorough a democrat as her husband.
Lately she earned the unending
friendship of the navy. yard guard
by her charming interest in one of
their number.
When she was on her way to visit
the wife of Admiral Glennon at the
navy yard the other day. Mrs Dan
iels' chauffeur was held up by the
armed guard now stationed at the
gate Of the plant where the huge
guns are being made which will pres
emily speak to the Kaiser in a Ian
guage he can understand. Accord
ing to usage. a young marine was
assigned to accompany the motor of
the First Lady OF the Navy to its
destination.
Invites Guard TO Ride.
Did Mrs. Daniels regard This young
soldier of the sea with an unseeing
eye and icily permit him to climb
in beside the chauffeur? She did not.
With a frank, gracious smile she
opened the door OF the tonneau and
requested the very much surprised
guard to get right in. As the big
machine spun on she talked with
him. showing a real interest in his
replies to her queries regarding his
position and the responsible duties
1t involved. She noted his sharp
shooters medal and this led to

GERMAN SHIPS
Auxiliary Cruiser Among
Vessels Lost-Battle in
the Cattegat.

London, Nov. S.-Eleven German
ships. perhaps twelve, one Of them
an auxiliary cruiser armed with g.
inch guns, were sent to the bottom
Of the Cattegat. the large North Sea
arm between Sweden and Denmark
by a British mosquito flotilla some
time during the last As hours. Ten of
the sunken vessels were patrol craft
Sixty-four prisoners were rescued
by the British torpedo craft. or the
crew of the Teuton auxiliary cruiser

by British shell fire. Capt. Latter
bach. her commander, and six OF
HIS men were picked up by a Danish
vessel and taken to Copenhagen. All
are seriously wounded.
Joy Throughout Britain.
Oficial announcement of the British
naval success sent a thrill through
all Britain. 1t could not have come at
a more opportune moment.
The question as TO whether a twelfth
ship was sunk by the British is raised
by a report from Copenhagen that a
commerce raider named Crocodile
was seen going down in flames by
the Danish vessels. She was of 1000
tons'and her crew numbered 100.
Reports vary regarding the time OF
the engagement between the Marie
and her British assailants. One YER
sion is she went down in flames after
a ten-minute combat. The Danish
report speaks of a two-and-a-half
hour engagement
Another Blow TO Germans.
In addition to the defeat in the Cat
tegat the Germans suffered a blow at
sea which was perhaps even more
painful tsince it means the shattering
OF hopes set on a new sea terror.
The admiralty reports the defeat and
destruction of IAN electrically con-
trolled high speed boat" which tried
to attack British partolling warships
OFF the Belgian coast.

The War Department is inclined TO
doubt the capture by the Germans
of any of the United States forces.
1t is admitted that such a cap
ture is possible, however, as our men
go on patrol in mo Mans Land as
part of their trench work. 1t is
pointed out that the Berlin dispatch
refers to the capture of North
Americans and the Canadians are
included under this term.
In doubling the capture OF our men,
the department asserts that Gen.
Pershing is under orders to report
Immediately, the capture of any
United States troops just as he is re-
Quired to report all casualties. The
department received word Of two
deaths in the Pershing forces. but
no reports of captures to the enemy.
The casualties were Private Ralph

CORN into MEXICO
Carranza Agent to Arrange Details;
May Lift Metal Embargo.

The United States will come to the
aid Of hungry Mexico. Arrangements
are now being made for the direct
shipment Of corn to the districts
where 1t is most needed, under guar
antees Of the Carranza government
that 1t will be properly distributed
and that the cars in which 1t is
shipped will be returned. In return.
for this aid, the Mexican embargo on
metals will be relaxed in favor of the

that a loan to Mexico may now be
arranged.
The state Department yesterday re-
ceived confirmation OF the failure OF
the Mexican corn crop and wide
spread distress there. The aid to be
extended is not only to relieve this
distress but to check the outbreak of

likely to follow when the Mexican
poems get hungry.

WISCONSIN'S
lST PROHIBITION
REFERENDUM

The current agitation over the Ev-
jue Bill with its proposal for a popu-
lar referendum on the question of
Statewide prohibition illustrates a
new the old adage, ''history repeats
itself" Sixty-four years ago the vo-
ters of Wisconsin endorsed such a
measure, but were cheated of their
desire by hostile legislation
In the legislature of 1852 the great
number of petitioners for a phohibit-
DRY referendum brought on a debate
in which the arguments, familiar to-
day, were banded to and fro. The
opponents Of prohibition inveighed,
then as now, against the confscation
of private property and the infringe
ment of personal liberty; while the ad-

now, upon the police powers of the
State with authority to prohibit any
thing harmful to health or morals. No
action was taken in 1852, but the next
year the volume of petitions became
so great, that State Senator G. L.
Sholes declared never before had a
law been demanded by so many Wis
consin people. This public pressure
resulted in an act ''to submit to the
people the question of a prohibiory
law" and the time for the referen-
dunn was set at the usual autumn cleo
ton Both parties to the question
prepared for the non partisan struggle
at the polls. The temperance people
perfected an organization that touched
every hamlet in the State The Ger

all in vain, for the temperance forces
won by avote of 27,519 to 24,1O9
Meanwhile their opponents had seen
to their political fences, and secured
a governor and a majority of the next
legislature opposed to prohibition. No
law, therefore, could be passed to put
the referendum into effect. The tenn

and elected a majority in the legisla-
