DANIELS Wants
DRY NEpGHBORS
Writes Maryland Governor Urging
Liquorless Prince George County.

Secretary OF the Navy Daniels took
steps yesterday to remove the only
oasis in sight when the Capital be-
comes saloonless on November !.
All the weight of his official influence
is Incorporated in a letter to Gov.
Harrington, of Maryland, urging the
executive to make Prince George
County dry"
Secretary Daniels interest in the
question Is displayed in the following
letter sent to Gov. Harrington: MY
bear Governor-I lezLEQ that, the bill
To close up the saloons 81 Prince
George County is up for considera-
tion, and l have been requested To
state my views.
County to Washington, the seat OF the
government, near the Washington
Navy Yard and gun factory and the
marine barracks would seem to make
it not inappropriate for me TO express
the earnest hope that the bill will be-
come a law. thus giving protection to
the men in the navy who will be freed
from the temptation OF open saloons
when Washington becomes dry" next
November.
The nearness of Prince George
County to Washington would make the
open saloon there a temptation to
the young men in the national serv-
ice TO which believe they should not
be subjected. Cordially yours,
"JOSEPHUS DANIELS"
The announcement was sent broad
cast that the Secretary's letter brought
the legislation under the scope Of war
with the statement that the Secre-
tary's views on such question were q
matter of record since his grape juice

State Department Considers Chinese
Note Controversy Closed.

The Japanese situation has been
dropped by the State Department like
a hot brick. 1t was declared yester-
day that this government considers
the incident closed" Neither Japan's
nor England's reply to the American
identic NOTE will be made public by
the State Department.
In the view of diplomats. the in
cident closes as a diplomatic victory
for Japan, hut with America retiring
in good order and being in a position
to reopen the question Of the "open
door" in China at any time. Tokyo's
reply to this governments note is un-
derstood TO have indicated that Tokyo
considered our message to China ILL
timed, and to have carried the intima-
ton, though not the written word.
that Tokyo resents our interference"
at Pekin.
In other words, Japan now considers
herself paramount in the entire Far
East. and will oppose any advice or
caution to China by this country. 1t
is one Of the preliminaries, in the view
of some diplomats, to the slamming of
the "open door" and promises pro-
found developments in the not distant
future-after the war at least.

AIRCRAFT PROGRAM
Leaders Give Assurances of Support
of 100000 Appropriation.

The administrations program for
an immediate appropriation of $780,,
90. 900 for aircraft building, was ac-
CELEBRATED last night by the definite
assurance. given to leaders in both
houses of Congress that the Senate
subcommittee of the Military Af-
fairs committee had practically de-
cided to report favorably upon the
Sheppard-Hulbert bill to create a de-
partment of Aeronautics. A vote on
the bill has not yet been reached in
the subcommittee, but q majority of
the members are said to have pledged
their support to the proposal.
The subcommittee, headed by Sem
ator Sheppard, Of Texas, will resume
hearings this morning. A report to
the full committee is not expected
until late In the week. One OF the
most important witnesses will be
Brig. Gen. George o. Squier. chief
of the signal corps of the army, who
Will give the committee the benefit of
his experiences on the Western front
during a recent tour. Brig. Gen.
Squier gives unqualified support to
the aircraft program, and he asserts
that the United States can give the
allies supremacy over Germany in

SPAIN IS FORCED
TO SHOW WAR HAND
Officials Believe Crisis Demands Ex-
preston of Nations Attitude.

The crisis in Spain's affairs Is likely
to continue until a definite expression
OF the nations attitude In the world
war Is Forthcoming, and she either
casts her lot with Allies or repudi-
ates the advances made by Allied
diplomats, Is the belief in well in
formed circles here.
1t Is known that for q time pro-
German sympathizers have been in
the majority in the government, and
this has accounted in large measure
for the present troubles. While the
King Is believed to sympathize largely
with the cause of the Allies, his
cabinet is well divided, and the pres
sure from both sides has reached such
an acute stage that an absolute de-
parture from the governments s
avowed neutrality stand is expected
to be forced within the near future.
The report that King Alfonso will
abdicate in favor of a Republican
form OF government. and possibly seek
to hold the reins of government
through election to the presidency, is
not given serious consideration by
persons in close touch with the Span
ish situation.
At no time since the war started,
1t Is believed, has Spain been nearer
a departure from her, present stand.
Industrial discord. forced by high
prices due to war contracts and high
wages to certain classes of workers,
are declared to be vital factors in the
situation.

OF Marine WORKERS
Secretary of Labor Sees Unrest
Among Ship Builders.

A strike Of the marine workers in
New York harbor is feared by Secre-
tary Of Labor Wilson. He declared
last night that while the workers had
agreed to hold back strike action
until he could confer with the employ
ers next Saturday, the differences to
pc adjusted were great.
The disaffected workers are employ
ed in both building and repairing.
Should they go on strike the building
program Of the Shipping Board will
be hampered, and work on the intern
ed German steamships, which were
crippled by their crews when war was
declared, will be held up.
The only cheerful note Secretary
Wilson could sound was that similar
labor troubles had been adjusted in
Norfolk and other points to the South,
as we'll as on the Pacific Coast.
The trouble Is only local" said
Secretary Wilson, but II would be
very serious. Our wartime program
would suffer. However, the men af-
fected have nothing to do with the
Brooklyn Navy Yard"
The conference with the labor rep
resentatives was held Monday. OF the
twelve, not one was willing to Yield
TO the conditions imposed by the en-
ployers.

SENATE SCRAPS
over GOETHALS
General Is Assailed and De-
Tended in Fiery
Debate.

The name OF General Goethals was
once more a storm center yesterday in
the Senate. Indications of the heated
debate may be gathered by reading
"The man who buIIt the Panama
Canal and spent $50. co., 900 with no
breath OF suspicion upon him, should
not have his reputation kicked about
like a football. Senator Smith, of
Michigan.
7 don't see that General Goethals
has mads such a niche for himself.
l understand the Panama Canal pro-
Ject was a fzzie. ."-Senator Stone, of
Missouri.
The row occurred over the question
OF whether General Goethals was right
in making a tentative price of S95 for
steel. At one time the discussion grew
so acrid that Senator Weeks threat
ened to renew his>call for his bill pro-
yiding joint legislative committee to
conduct the war.
"A carefully conducted inquiry into
this matter would serve better pur-
pose than an aimless discussion on the
floor" he remarked very tartly.
Il don't want to attack General Goe-
thals unjustly. understand the Ship
ping Board has the power" said Sena-
tor Vardaman. Il want to put the
blame where 1t belongs. ! do know
that the steel companies have been
robbing the people. And want this
Then Senator Stone took up the ball.
He said he understood that Goethals
explained that the price of sos had
been fixed subject to the Shipping
Boards approval.
But the trouble is" he said. that
General Goethals was willing to give
that sum to a steel company that paid
ten per cent dividend on Its stock.
II Is watereu. It is still selling steel
at SO. Why did General Goethals do
this? What was his motive? What
interest had hep
Senator Smith, of Michigan. was
ready to interrupt Stone, but the Mis-
sourian continued:
Il do not hesitate to make the state
ment that even a tentative contract
price of ss5 has too much the sugges-
tion OF graft. I am not making an
accusation Of graft against Gen.
Goethals. But 1 do criticise the peo-
pie who would SO old-bloodedly try
to loot, the Treasury of the United
Goethals had never let a contract at
$50, said Smith, of Michigan. He said
the general desired a price-fixing con-
tract.
"I understand that the general and
the Shipping Board. anticipate that
they will not pay more than $S5 for
steel hereafter" he said.
Then 1t is remarkable that the gen.
eral ever consented to S95," interjected
Stone.
Gen. Goethals was being made the
goat" Of the administration, said
Smith, and he characterized the "as-
sault' upon the general as partisan
and cruel
DURING the debate, Stone said he re-
Joiced that such a man as Denman
headed the Shipping Board.
