given by President r. GoOdyn Rhett OF
Charleston, S. c., to the 5000 dele
gates who gathered for the opening
meeting of the chamber of commerce
Of the United States at the Auditorium
theater.
Four days of conferences, chiefly re-
lated to war work, have attracted mem
bers of the association to the first an
nual meeting ever held outside Of
Washington. Secretary of the Navy
Daniels and Secretary Of the Interior
Lane both will speak. The delegates
were welcomed by Lucius Teter, pres
ident Of the Chicago Association OF
Commerce, and President Rhett re-
! spond. He said in part:
st Is not enough for the business
man to turn his genius to the saving
Of America from the menace of German
militarism. There is another equally
important part for him to play In pre-
serving America from the foes that
threaten her from within.
"That unrest has arisen by reason OF
the distribution of the great wealth
which has come to the people of this
country through industry and COM
merce, and the comforts and enjoy
ments 1t has brought its possessors, is
not to be questioned.
'sThat it must be reckoned with and
adjusted If industry and commerce Is
to go on under private initiation and
private leadership and management Is
perfectly plain, and 1t is the part OF
business to find the solution for It..
/ otherwise, the extremists will find will
ing ears to their strange doctrines and
willing arms to aid their strange ex-
periments in government; and the boil
shevikl will appear in America as well
as in Russia to paralyze all business
to turn us over to the tyranny of the
mob-which is more cruel and destruc-
tive even than that of the autocrat."

U, S. SUBMARINES
CROSS ATLANTIC
TO FIGHT U-B0ATS
American Divers Are Aiding Allies
in Common Battle Against
Huns.
LEFT HERE LAST WINTER
PeriIous Trip Made During Gales and
Severe Cold Weather--Most of
Boats Arrived Under
Own Power.

Washington, April lin the face
Of bitter winter gales American sub
marines, primarily designed for oper-
atoms off the home coasts, have
crossed the Atlantic to engage in the
common fight against German U-boats.
They are now aiding allied naval
forces, as are American destroyers and
American naval airmen, and they have
been In the war zone for some months.
Secretary Daniels revealed the fact
that the submarines had gone "over
there" In his address at Cleveland last
Saturday at a Liberty loan celebration.
but gave no details.
1t Is now possible, however, to tell
for the first time of the midwinter pas
sage of the boats across the seas in
the face of the most severe weather
known In years. In the perilous pas
sages the best traditions Of the serv-
Ice were maintained.
Arrangements Kept Secret.
The first submarines to leave got
under way In early winter. Arrange
ments for the trip were made without
hint appearing In the papers.
The steps taken to get them across
cannot be disclosed, but the fact that
the department has no disaster to re-
cord Is pointed to as proof Of their
sufficiency. M

A laconic report of uneventful voy-
ages bore out that confidence.
In mid-December others got started.
While 1t was fair on sailing day ahead
of the submarines 100-mile gale was
brewing. Into 1t they plowed, rolling
and tumbling.
Submarines Hunt U-Boats.
Little has been said of the work Of
the British and French submarines In
the U-boat hunt. They art playing
definite part, however, and lurking
close to enemy bases. There have been
encounters between submarines re-
ports of which read like fiction.
The service has been described as
trying one, for which men of courage
and daring are needed. 1t is in that
work, presumably, that the American
submarines are engaged.

Many Of the men were taken from

some instances the aliens had left
their homes and were on their way to
work, whereupon the machine would
be driven to the shop or factory, there
to await the person.

third floor and lined up In the east
corridor. Twenty-Five men who ap-
peared to have no permit whatever,

Under regulations promulgated last
year by President Wilson, every enemy
alien was required to appear before
the United States marshal for examin-
alton and to receive, If there were no
objections, a permit governing the

All of the enemy aliens taken in the
drive are men who have violated these
permit regulations, some of them re-
peatedly, and if investigation warrants
some may be interned as measure OF
safety. Those men found to have new
err obtained their permits also may find
themselves in an unpleasant situation
as the government believes that the
\ law is by this time known to all.
| A permit regulation recently was
supplemented by an executive order
that required all enemy aliens to un
dergo a separate registration carried
out by the police department in places
of 5000 population, and by postmas
tiers in places under that figure.

his actions he thinks a great deal of

once a week and sometimes twice.
About two weeks ago he began to
act different toward me. So one
evening l questioned him as to his
troubles. He said that he was kind
OF angry at me, but that didn't amount
to much. He asked me to write to
him that week as he would be very
glad to hear from me. l sent him a
letter but he didn't answer it. In
stead he came down the evening of
the day he received my letter, but he
didn't act nearly as friendly as he
used to.
What do you think is bothering
him? What can I do and how can I
act to gain his friendship, as l hate
to give him up?
