Captain GranzoW was arrested in

Honolulu federal authorities, who bas-
ed their action on .affidavits made by
John Wessick, carpenter Of the Church
illi Otto Anderson, able seaman; H.
Munich, cook; and Lieutenant Ferris,
". s.. M, TO the effect that Captain
Granzow had deliberately wrecked his

The Presidents denunciation OF
Senator Chamberlain, for his at
tack in New York on Saturday
night upon the war department,
and the presidential approval Of
Secretary Baker and his prepar-
edness program, apparently has
only tended TO solidify the deter
minatinn of the Democratic SEN
ators to back up the proposed
plan for war cabinet, as outlin-
ed in bill under preparation in
the senate committee on military
affairs. The President has made
it plain that he will oppose this
Legislation and any other legisla-
ton along similar lines, but this
opposition will not drive any
Democratic support away from
the measure. rs
Senator Chamberlain refused
yesterday to make any reply to
the denunciation of himself by
the President, but reiterates that
there has been unexcusable de-
lays in preparing the American
nation for war and that the les
sons Of the past appear to have
been lost upon the war depart
ment, which excuses itself for
what has happened and makes
no pledges for future improve

ROOSEVELT. JOINS IN
Theodore Roosevelt arrived, at
the Capital yesterday to take part
i'll the controversy that is, raging.
At his apartments yesterday he
received stream of callers, to
whom he spoke frankly, making
it plain that he proposed to take
a leading part in the campaign
for greater and speedier prepar-
edness. -n ~. ..r.i
The ex-President said to news
paper men that he is in Wash
ington to help speed on the prep
arations for war, Although we
have been at war for nearly a
year now, he said, eve haven't
yet really entered it. We must
speed up and at the earliest pos
sible day assume our fair share
OF the burden our allies have been
carrying for four years. 49,. +.
FOR UNIVERSAL SERVICE
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he in
tended to get behind Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, Repre-
sentative Madden of Illinois and
Representative Kahn of Cali
iornia in their campaign to put
through legislation calling Tor
universal, compulsory military
service in the United States, in
order that the next time Amer
lca may be called upon to defend

worlds democracy she, may be
found prepared WI.

STRONG DRINK TABU

General Pershing's reply to
Secretary Baker bears out previ-
Gus reports concerning the con-
duct of the men of the: rexpedi-
tionary forces. 1t was announced
some time ago that Pershing had
issued strict orders that all
strong intoxicants must be avoid
ed by the American soldiets,
light wines and similar drinks
being the strongest they we're
permitted to drink.
His statement to Secretary
Baker effectuaIly nails the ca
nards that have been disseminat-
ed by Hun spies and TaitoEous
Americans to the effect that army
life was demoralizing and that
the men would come out of the
army worse than they entered it.
1t has been the belief OF govern
ment authorities that these
stories were spread in the hope of
arousing sentiment against the
war and causing difficulty in the
formation of the great forces that
the United States intends send
ing across the water to crush
the power of the Kaiser and his
Hun hordes.

WASHINGToN. January q
w -(Associated Press) No
body Of men in the world ever led
cleaner lives than do the men of
the American army in France, is
the statement of General Per-
shing. commander of the expedi-
tionary forces.
General Pershing made the
statement in reply to inquiries
cabled him by Secretary of War
Baker regarding reports that had
been disseminated of irnmoderate
drinking in the American army
in France. 49,
BEHAVIOR WINS PRAISE
Adding to his assertion that the
men Of the expeditionary forces
are leading the cleanest lives ever
lived by the men OF any army,
General Pershing said that not
only are they forbidden to use
strong drink and are protected
by stringent regulations against
other evils, but they have the
strong support of their own
moral courage. Their good be-
havior, said General Pershing, is
the subject of favorable comment
by all who come in contact with
them, especially by the Allies.
American mothers may rest
assured" said General Pershing
in his report to Secretary Baker,
that their sons are credit to
them and to the Nation for which
they are fighting" r..

Golden Hill Items

The Junior Red Cross Auxiliaries
of Forest and Keene's schools held a
festival at the new store, Golden
Hill, last Friday evening. In spite
of rain, quite a number gathered in
the prettily decorated building. The
young people presented a pleasing
program, and realized from refresh,
ments about seven dollars. Those
present discussed the possibility of
obtaining the new store as perma-
nent gathering place for the people
of Golden Hill. Through the kind
}ness and public spirit of Mr.. VIM. F.
Applegarth, the present owner, the
building has been used for all Red
Cross occasions. and other patriotic
meetings for sometime.
The following gentlemen were
named as a committee to arrange TO
buy the building, if possible: Messrs.
Howard Asplen, VIM. C. Edgar, John
is. Burton, Nelson Shenton, William
Mills, Edwin T. Keene and J. VIII
Bradshaw. The committee is asked
to meet Monday, July Is, at 8 p. N.
The cooperation of everyone, men,
women and children, is asked in this
undertaking to provide an ideal
place of public gathering.

Campaign for More
Hogs Successful

Although definite figures are not
yet obtainable. the Animal Husban-
| dry Division OF the Bureau of Ami
mai Industry is assured that the
| campaign TO Increase pork produc
ton at least Is per cent. over last
year has been successful. According
to reports practically every State has
done its part in obtaining this in
crease, and some have more than
made up their quota. Data gathered
by the United States Department OF
Agriculture show that on April l
brood sows on the farms in the
United States had increased 8 u per
cent over the number OF the same
date the previous year Weather
conditions during March and April
were very favorable over almost the
entire reproducing country, with
the result that there was a larger
percentage of pigs raised than has
been the case for many years past.

with limited income-was accepted
as well founded. This would certain
ly follow, as it would have made the
price of wheat III this market close
! to $3.50 a bushel, instead of $2.37A
which has been fixed for the top
grades.
1t was the unsettlement which
would have come from the increase
in the prices which gave the dealers
the most concern. These had been
fixed only after prolonged confer
ence, in which Food Administrator
Hoover, as we'll as representatives of
the leading grain exchanges through
out the country, participated.
They studied the whole situation
from every angle, including that of
production, as well as of demand,
and then raised the price practically
10 cents a bushel over the previous
year The prices in the various sec
tionS of the country We're establish
ed on this basis; therefore, had the
action OF Congress in raising the ba-
sic rate been approved, it would
have meant an entire readJustment
of prices for all sections.
Another feature pointed out as
making the change undesirable was
the fact that many farmers have al
ready thrashed their wheat and sent
it to market, receiving the prices al
ready fixed for the crop. If the price
had been legally raised there would
have been no way by which these far
mers could have recovered the differ
ence at which they sold and the new
price. 1t was not understood the
law was TO be retroactive, and more
over, the wheat already sold may
have changed hands two or three
times.
That the farmers would like the
change goes without saying. Many
of them feel that the basic price OF
$220 a bushel is entirely too low to
yield them an adequate return and
they naturally want TO obtain the
best price possible for the crop. But
the reasons advanced by President
Wilson for his refusal TO sanction
the increase We're accepted generally
as sound and reasonable.

Wheat Crop Of County Poor

The farmers of the county are be-
wailing the fact that their wheat has
not turned out as well as they expec-

much the crop has decreased since
last year. The following farmers

Baltimore Grain Men Approve.

Baltimore grain dealers were not
surprised that President Wilson We
toed the bill carrying a price of
$40 a bushel for this years wheat
crop. William H. Hayward, presi-
dent of the Chamber of Commerce,
was in Washington last week, where
he made inquiry as to the probable
fate of the measure and found that
the impression was quite general
that the measure would not be ap-
proved. Therefore when the an
nouncement of the veto came it ere
ated no commotion among dealers.
The chief reason given for the We
to-that it would make the cost of
flour almost prohibitive to the small
wage Garner and the housekeeper

The lines that manhood brings
And capering feet that still are shod
With childhood's wanton wings.

Like outgrown baby-toys.
