Convoy System a Success.

The conveying system is working out

can be added to the escorting forces. It
causes some delays to shipping. but the
disadvantages are more than out

Secretary Daniels is in frequent con-
ference with shipping board officials
the purpose being to adjust the two
building programs further. SO as to Sc
cure the maximum results from avail
able building facilities. The Navy and

ers and merchant ships.

Chandler was stricken with illness. He
was able to return to New Hampshire

In a lifetime Of endless political &C

in the development of the present fight

January 26. 1915, Senator Tillman of
South Carolina, referring to the reading
into the record of letter from Mr..
Chandler. regarding the naval bill then
pending, said:
Senator Chandler has had a varied
experience in naval affairs He was
Secretary Of the Navy under President
Arthur. and really began the construc-
ton of the new Navy. He was on the
naval committee when I FIRST came to
Washington in 1896, and was at that
time one of the ablest men In the
Senate. Although he has recently en-
tered his eightieth year, his mind is
still alert and vigorous. While he IL a
republican and I am democrat, we
have always been warm personal
friends. Necessarily he is better posted
On naval affairs than almost any man
In Washington, not excepting even the
Navy Department ITSELF"

WITHDRAW CHANCE FOR
DRAFTED men TO ENLIST
Special Order Granted This State Is
Rescinded by War Depart
ment.

Special concessions granted regis
tered and certified men of the state
of Washington who had not been
called for service under the first draft
have been rescinded by the war de-
partment.
Many registrants not yet called to
camp were anxious to enlist imme-
diately and were given that permis-
sion, upon request of Governor Lis
ter, on November 13.
Washington's full quota of 1926
was then at Camp Lewis, but the war
department now rules that failure of
other states to fill their quotas at the
same camp will cause confusion If en-
listment privileges are granted.
This means that registered men
can not take their choice of service,
but after December Is they can be
indicted into service Immediately il
they SO desire, upon application to
the local board for their district.

FOOD DEALERS MUST ACT.
Some Concerns Have Failed to Obey
Presidents Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3d.
Food dealers who have failed to
comply with President Wilson's proc
lamation placing them under license
must obtain licenses Immediately or
face proceedings aiming at suspend
ing their operations.
This was made known this week
when the food administration ad-
vised federal administrators in each
state that some concerns had not
complied with the regulations and
stating that action at once was nee
essary. All groceries whose sales
exceed 100000 yearly must have
licenses.
The advices also stated that some
firms which had licenses were not
complying with the rule to have
their license numbers placed on all
stationery. This is required to facil-
itate the requirement thatno licensee
shall trade with firm included in
the regulations and which has not
procured license.

PHONE COMPANY REFUSES
TO Ri.H|RE OPERATORS
No Vacancies, Manager Says, When
Strikers Return Under Agre-
ment.

! Striking operators of the local tel
ephone company, who tried to go
back to work Wednesday under the
agreement effected by the mediation
commission at San Francisco, were
met by an announcement from Man.
ager Robert Doragh that there are
no vacancies. They Immediately tel
egraphed the commission, claiming
violation of the agreement and ask
ing advice.
The agreement stipulates that all
strikers who report within seven
days after the agreement becomes
effective shall be employed without
discrimination and shall retain for
all purposes the former standing"
but Manager Doragh says his refusal
"is no violation of the agreement but
a necessity of the existing condi-
tion."
Thes company's action has stirred
up the city. which has been putting
up patiently with inefficient service,
and various city officials are endeav-
oring to find way to compel the
|company to live up to It's agreement.
The phone systems in Seattle and Ia
cone are also paralyzed, the opera
tors receiving the same treatment in
Tacoma. The mediation commission
Is expected to reach this section the
last of the week, when it is hoped an
adjustment can be made.
