NO FEAR OF u, S.
Dictatorship,
DECLARES COL

Providence, r. L, Feb. Coon
gress will continue to place wide pow
ers and the resources of the nation
in the hands of President Wilson and
the country need have no fear of a
dictatorship" Senator Colt of Rhode
Island, declared today in an address
to members of the state general as
sembly, on the occasion of Washing
toms Birthday.
Congress realizes the necessity Of
unity, concentration and co-ordina-
ton in time of war" said Senator
Colt, land that to accomplish these
ends the President must have en-
larged powers. Congress also finds
in the great war powers conferred by
the constitution on the legislative
branch of the government abundant
justification for clothing our COM
mander-in-chief with every authority
necessary to win the war. But when
the war ends we shall retain on the
statute books no more of the present
legislation than is compatible with the
public interest and in full accord
with the personal rights of the indi-
vidual under the constitution"
Much of the senator's speech was
taken up with emphasizing the pro-
found influence eXerted at the present
time by the example of Washington
life.

SAILS UNCHARTED'
CHANNEL DODC|NC
U-BOAY FLEET

An Atlantic Port. Feb. 23-How
the master of an italian passenger
liner, the Dante Alighieri, lodged a
fleet of submarines in the Mediterran-
can by venturing a midnight passage
through an uncharted channel be-
tween a small island and the Spanish
coast, was related by passengers of
the ship on her arrival here today.
The wisdom of the captains move
was demonstrated the following
morning, they said, when 1ifeboats
were sighted carrying passengers and
crews of three torpedoed vessels out
of convoy of five which the Dante
Alighieri had passed only two hours
before the captain decided to risk
wrecking his ship in the channel
rather than take chances with the
submarines.
The names of the three ships sunk
were the Duca di Geneva, a passenger
vessel, the Vile de Verdun and the
Caprera, all Italian. The presence OF
the submarines in their path was
learned by the master Of the Dante
Alighieri through wireless warnings.
| The lifeboats were not picked up, as
they were within a few miles of the
shore

Hartford, Feb. 22.-The 10000 Boy

the $4,000 Scouts throughout the
country, have been asked by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury to enlist an
army of war savers in every state in

tons from their national headquarters
to ring every doorbell in the land, de-
liver a short talk on the necessity OF
saving, and take orders for govern
ment war-saving securities-the 25-
cent and SIS thrift stamps.
President Wilson will write a per-

each state who has the highest record
of sales during the year, and the wives

NORMAL SCHOOLS
IN SH|PYARDS
FOR men ON JOB

Hartford, Feb. 23-Ambitious men
who desire to qualify as foremen in
the United States shipyards through
instruction received at the Shipyard
Normal school at Newport News, Va,
are being officially advised that they
cannot go direct to the school after
enrolment in the Shipyard Volunteers
of the Public Service Reserve. Men
are selected for higher training while
at work in the shipyards.
Leo A. Korper, state director of the
United States Public Service Reserve,
has received a communication from
National Director W. E. Hall, which
is of particular interest to Normal
school applicants. The national di-
rector said:
THE men who go to the Shipyard
Normal School at Newport News, Va,
are selected from hen already at work
in the shipyards by their employers
The idea is that they are to be in
structed as teachers. They will then
return to the shipyards and train
other men who need instruction.
81, therefore, do not think that it
is possible to get any men into New
port News School who are not already
working in the shipyards."
instruction in ship building is be-
ing given normal school pupils by a
corps of experts who teach ship pro-
duction as their pupils, $50 at a time,
actually build ships. The graduates
return to their shipyards to show men
of lesser competence how to improve
! their work. to take responsibility and
! foremanships. They teach the new
men how to apply their knowledge OF
skilled trades to ship construction I'M
! der the same service conditions as
obtain at the normal school. In this
way they become the nucleus o.
trained supervisors whose knowledge
and skill are vital need in pushing
through the shipbuilding program il
order to bring the war to successful
conclusion.

Night and day enemy projectiles are
falling in towns and have been di-
rected at a number of strategical
points. The damage done has been
unimportant Three American artil-
lerymen have been wounded.
The Americans replied to the enemy
with shells for one, firing accurately
on roads and enemy works. Shells
were dropped on a party of seven Ger
mans repairing wire entanglements,
Some were wounded and the rest scat
tered.
Early today a small enemy party
attempted to raid American lines and
was driven off by rifle and machine
gun fire, after which artillery fire
chased them back to their lines.
A trench mortar projectile fell on
one of our trenches today, killing
three and wounding four. Rain has
prevented aerial activity and trenches
and dugouts are flooded.

SUBMARINE SINKS
SPANISH STEAMER

Madrid, Feb. 23-The Spanish
steamer Mar Casp1c has been sunk by
a submarine on her way to New York
with a cargo of cork. The crew
was picked up by the Spanish steam
er Claudio lopez Y Lopez, which also
was stopped by the submarine, but
later was allowed to proceed.
The captain of the Claudio Lopez ,
Lopez had the greatest difficulty in
inducing the commander of the sub
marine to allow him to continue the
voyage. The submarine commander
wanted to sink the Lopez because she
was carrying a number of cars con-
signed to the Spanish Northern rail-
road, which is partly French owned.

In discussing public eating house
control it is charged in the report
that the consumption, particularly in
high priced restaurants and hotels,
per capita. is nearly double of nor
NAL"
'"The bill authorizes regulations to
eliminate unnecessary use of essential
foodstuffs by manufacturers of food
products" said the report. "It would
be possible to effect a great saving in
food products by requiring higher
milling of the mixture of ingredients
in bread which cannot be so readily
shipped abroad"
Although it's does not authorize a
rationing system for consumers, in
the language of the report, 'it would
permit into a particular district or de-
livered to a particular distributor.
The President can. in effect, ration
the distributors so that a threatened
shortage can be spread out as evenly
as possible throughout the entire
country
The report recalls that the presi-
dent has no power to enforce economy
in consumption under the existing
food law and that the success of con-
servation plans depends entirely on
the voluntary cooperation of the peo-
pie. The appeals to save food have
met with gratifying results, the report
says, and it adds "but there is small
percentage of people who either will
fully or 4or lack of understanding,
fails to respond to the call made for
patriotic duty"
THE food situation as it affects US
and our allies" the report continues,
lis becoming so critically serious as to
warrant the committee in the belief
that the necessity is on us of adopt
ing compulsory methods of conserva-
ton in certain well defined directions.
1t would be foolish for us to shut
our eyes to the facts. 1t would be
cowardly in US to fail to attack the
problem of waste in foodstuffs in the
| most vigorous manner
1.-The bill is designed to meet a sit
uation that is closely allied to con-
servation. If we ship to Europe all
of our expcrtable surplus of certain
| foods there is never going to be more
than Just enough of such foods availa-
bic for consumption in the United
i States. To prevent local shorta ges it
is necessary that this normal supply
be distributed with absolute equality
| throughout the country, and such dis
tribution is further essential in order
to obtain the best POSSIBLE use of our
I.surplus products. From time to time
| there may be temporary shortages in
certain foods. In such u case the
president should have power to con-
troll the distribution in such way
that the shortage is spread out as
evenly as possible"
