National Chairman Passes Day
Receiving Reports From All
\ Parts of Country.

As he was going away from the office
of the Republican National Committee
yesterday. after passing most OF the day
at his desk receiving last hour reports
from various parts of the country.
Chairman VIII H. Hays said:
The latest reports from all over the
country make It certain that the Repub-
leans will carry both the Senate and
the House."
Through the National Committee.
Henry H. Ward. acting president OF the
Navy League. who passed fourteen years
as an officer in the navy. FIVE or six
years OF which was in a stan office, made
a statement declaring that the much her
aided programme for the construction OF
submarine chasers at the plant Of Henry
Ford had gone to pieces. Mr.. Ward
spoke in his individual capacity, as the
Navy League lie non,partisan.
Referring to the speech OF Secretary
Daniels to the employees of the New
London Ship and engine Company. in
whic. he appealed to them to support
the President, Mr.. Ward said:

publicly, then 10 use them to advertise
the efficiency OF the navy's administra-
ton and finally calling upon their oper-
atlves to vote for that Administration
because OF its efficiency, as attestcd Ivy
the favors created--seems to call foe
some comment upon how this method
has worked out In connection with tie
Ford operations.
THE public we'll remembers the vast
amount of publicity which Secretary
Daniels and his associates gave out
early in the war regarding the creation
of n fleet of submarine chasers. Early
last spring the Navy officials realized
that these chasers were not going to
measure up to expectations, and Secre-
tary Daniels launched another publicity
campaign as to the Eagle boat to no
constructed and assembled by the Henry
Ford plant.
July 4. with a great deal Of furrah,
one hull OF an Eagle boat was launched.
This boat was not fitted with any ma.
chinery, engines or other equipment.
Nevertheless. the publicity agencies OF the
Navy and the Ford company issued
statements about quantity production
and promised that beginning October
the Ford plant would turn over to the
Government a boat a day.
THE Government purchased a large
tract OF land near the Ford plant for
launchings, and the personnel division
OF the navy began assembling and train
ing crews, and even went so far as to
bring trained men back from European
waters. AT the present rate the Ford
plant 10 turning out Eagle boats not
more than 200 OF these 1000 men can be
taken care OF before navigation Ia closed

plant is not delivering the goods"

Mr.. Smith expressed the greatest con-
fidence in his election. This Is one Of
his reasons:
"A great dissatisfaction that will
bring about the overwhelming defeat of
Gov. Whitman has grown out Of the
tactics he has pursued In office and
carried through his campaign. The
overwhelming sentiment, as l have been
able to gather 1t. is to the effect that
as matter OF gratitude to the people
who have elected him twice he should
have debated the issues of the CAM

Prohibition Amendment to

special pe,patcA to Tnr srN.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--An item in the
programme Of war legislation Is in jeop-
ardy. Wartime prohibition tackled as
an amendment to the food production
stimulation bill, like Mahomet's coffin.
Ia lowering between earth and heaven.
with every indication that 1t will have
a protracted hover.
Introduced as a war time meas
ure Of imminent necessity for the
preservation of the manhood and
womanhood OF the republic In the midst
OF war. but framed not to become effec-
tive until June 80. 1919. when by APP
pearances there will be no war, the Jones
amendment to the Randall amendmen;
to the Lever bill, which is It's technical
title, Is now in conference between the
House and Senate.
The measure was passed by the Sem
ate more than six weeks ago and was
promptly adopted by the House. 1t pro-
vides that the sale Of all alcoholic bev-
erages shall cease June 80. 1919, and
that the manufacture of wines and beer
shall be stopped January 1. 1t depends
upon the existing stoppage OF dist.llatior
10 take care of the production OF whis-
key and other potable spirits.
As a deterrent to the consumption OF
alcoholic beverages during the demobil.
ization period the measure may be &C.
ceptable to the President. and It may
not. II is admitted even by its ,pos,
earnest proponents to have been a stol
gap measure designed as nearly a,
practicable to establish prohibition Will,
the question OF the ratification OF the
prohibition amendment to the Fedora
Constitution is still pending before the
States. But whether the same support
Of the measure can be enlisted once
the war Is over is another question.
Along with the other interesting fes
lures Of the prohibition situation Is tn,
fact that all OF the Presidents order,
with regard to the alcoholic content Of
malt liquors will end with the war. tn,
Food Administration law under which
the President first reduced the alcoholic
content Of beers and ales and ther
ordered the stopping of brewing as s
measure OF food and fuel conservation
becomes ineffective once peace Is pro
claimed. Here is It's language:
Section "a That the provisions of
this act shall cease to be in effect
when the existing state of war be-
tween the United States and Germany
shall have terminated. and the fact
and date OF such termination shall
be ascertained and proclaimed by the
President.
This presents a situation which ma!
result in the very sudden reopening o
the question of prohibition legislation
as a part of the post war ad5ustmen
programme, for in a large measure 1t Il
destined shortly to be removed from tn
realm Of effective law. II Marshal Foch'
victories shall be ratified by German &C
oeptance OF the peace terms.

LONDON. Nov S.-The Globe takes the
"fne disregard for all the decencies of
international intercourse for plunging
into a controversy which has now as
eumed the prominence Of the American
Congress election"
The Netos has been opposing the pro-
posal to hold an election in England be-
fore the first of the year.
THE present experience Of America
uay be repeated here" the Netos said.
THE Congress elections In the United
States have suddenly plunged the coun-
try into bitter political strife. Roose-
welt, with his eye on the next Presi-
,icans with characteristic ferocity.
Roosevelt has behind him the anti-Demo-
erat and financial forces which under
the mask OF patriotism are exploiting
tho war in the cause of militariSrn. pro-
lection and the maintenance of the
money power In domestic politics
Wilson has with him the Liberal
sentiment OF the world. Anything that
wea kens his authority at the present
time would be disastrous to humanity.
II would mean that the voice Of America
at this critical time would be uncertain.
America. however, has always shown q
striking capacity for making right de-
eisions at critical times. and II is not
probable the country will repudiate its
great President and stultify itself in
this supreme moment"
The Globe, commenting on this, says:
Americans without distinction Of party
will doubtless relish this interference
with their domestic politics. They will
row learn to appreciate at st hand
what our pacifist radicals are capable
~ in respecting the niceties and cour-
tesies between two nations associated In
the great cause of freedom.
