Sam M'GOwan's Efficiency.
New and Courier.)


Endorsing the idea that one man
should be given control over the pur-
chasing Of supplies for the army and
the navy, for the shipping establis =
ment, and for export to our allies, the
Baltimore Sun says that zone of the
difficulties in the way of centralized
control seems to be the fact that the
navy department has got along so well
unaer the present system and Pay
master General MCGOWAN, the naval
purchasing authority, has been so ef-
ficient in Office that the navy depart
n.ent officials are unwilling to con-
sent to a change"
1t is hard to see why this should
constitute a difficulty, and if it is so
regarded. The Sun itself suggests Il
remedy. Why not put Paymaster
General MCGOWAN in charge of the
purchasing for all the departments /?
The same abilities which have made
him so extraordinarily useful to the
navy would make him useful to the
army. The same methods which he
has worked out for taking care of
the cast naval supply problem would
go far toward solving the army sup
ply problem.

chasing officer for the navy is about
the strongest argument there is in
favor of one-man control. For 1t

. NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-Roy How ard. president of the United Press, who sent the we'll known cablegram which sent this country into a pre- mature celebration of peace on Nov. /, issued a lengthy statement today supplementing that of Nov. 8. How ard had just returned to New York from Washington, where he had been n conference with Secretary of Navy Daniels. His statement reiterates the assertion that responsibility for the false report rests with Admiral Wilson, who was in command of the American navy in French waters at the time, and says that |" were the same identical proposition presented tomorrow, we would act as on Nov. /.

FOUR POUNDS OF SUGAR AFTER
 DECEMBER 1

PHCENIX. Nov. 2O.-The sugar allowance will be increased from three to four pounds per person per month beginning the first of Decem- Der, 1t was announced at the state headquarters of the food administra- ton today. This basis will be tried out for one month, it is stated, and if the consumption for the country does not exceed the available supply it is probable that the four-pound allow ance will be maintained as the nor nal requirements for some time to come.
 Hotels and restaurants will also be benefited by the new increase, the new basis being four pounds of sugar for each % meals served. They are warned by the food administration, however, that the four-pound allot- ment has not been decided upon as permanent allowance, and that they should not count too strongly on the continuance of this supply.

 34O MAJORITY
Special to the Journal-Miner.

PHOENIX, Nov. 20.-The official
 count which ended today with the i checking of the last Maricopa county
 precincts gave Thomas F. Campbell
 "a majority in the State of 340 votes
 over Coltcr, thus setting at rest all
 stories ailoat regarding the discov-
 cry of errors in some of the outside counties amounting to over 200 votes. | The reason for putting out such ru morS IS hard to account for, as it has
 been apparent all along that Camp bell was elected and that his major Iity, although not as much as at first
 supposed, would not fall below 300. At one time there was much talk on the part of certain Democrats in this county of their willingness to bet huge sums of money that Colter would receive the certificate of cleo ton, but when attempts were made
 to cover it, it turned out to be only
 talk money. The size of the major
 fly accorded Campbell has also ef-
 fectively and effectually squelched any further talk of contest. It is
 known that Golfer himself opposes a contest. realizing that he was fairly
 and squarely beaten and those in
 position to know aver that he will not be made the goat" of those who
 wagered on his election.
 Interest now turns to the probable appointees of the governor-elect, who so far has not indicated in any way the personnel of his official family Naturally there is much speculation on the subject but the chances are that the curiosity of the public and appo;ntment-seekcrs will not be satis- 1 fled for at least quite time to come. i

LONDON, Nov 20 - (British Wireless Service)-The following ac- count of the surrender of the first batch of 20 German submarines at sea is given by an eyewitness. More than so others are to be handed over to the Allied naval commanders be- fore the end of the week.
 The British fleet, after steaming toward the designated place off the Dutch coast, met the submarines just at sunrise Soon after seven o'clock the 20 submarines were seen in line, accompanied by TWO German de- stroyers which were to take the sub marine crews back to Germany after the surrender. All the. submarines were on the surface, matches open and the crews standing on the decks. The vessels flew no flags and had their guns trained fore and aft in accordance with the terms of surren- der.

METZ, Nov. 2O.-The historic event accomplished at ? o'clock this afternoon when Marshal Pctain, com- mander in chief of the French armies, made his entry into Metz, the great stronghold of Lorraine and the pivot of Germany's effort to crush France, may be said, more than any other happening, to conSccrate the victory of the Allies in this war.
 The occasion, in which the French commander figured for the first time as a marshal of France, also gave rise to one of the most picturesque demonstrations ever carried out by the people of Lorraine.
 From early in the morning all the roads leading to Metz were crowded with Lorrainers on their way to the city to raise their voices there for Marshal Petain and for France People unaccustomed 10 any tongue other than the German for years be- gan many days ag9 brushing. m their knowledge of French in preparation for this occasion and although the majority of the population undoubt- cdly has perfect acquaintance with 10 otier tongue than the German, little of that tongue was heard in the streets today.
 Other things German had disap- peared overnight, including the status of the German rulers, which had been hauled down by the citizens. William I. had toppled over from his eques- trian monument, while Frederick IT. who, for many long years, had point ed a menacing finger at France, from the pedistal upon which he stood. had come down with a rope around lis neck. Former Emperor William II. was still left to figure qrotesquely IS a statue on the facade of the -athcdral. The hands had been chain ed during the night and into them had been put a band with this in scription: 'Sic Transit Gloria AIundi."

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O.-Secre- tary McAdoo and members of the capital issues committee have agreed that the committee should continue indefinitely its supervision of the proposed issues of stocks and bonds, as a measure of rationing capital in the preparation of future war loans. 1t the same time it became known that the treasury plans to float about eight billion dollars more securities next year. IL hopes to get at least two billion of this sum from war savings
 Because the work Of the committee in Suppressing fraudulent securities which promoters might seek to ex- change for liberty bonds, was hamper ed through a lack of authority on part of the committee, some are ad- vocating that congress give the com mittce compulsory power. while oth- CTS propose that the functions Of the committee be taken over by a treas ury agency 10 which the president might delegate his power, conferred by the fourth liberty loan act. to regulate the sale of liberty bonds.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 20. - Con- tinued naval expansion by the Unit ed States without regard at present for possible decisions Of the peace conference, the formation of league of nations or reduction of armament, was recommended to congress today by Secretary Daniels at private con ference with the house naval commit tee, which is framing the 1920 naval appropriation bill
 Discussion with the secretary largely concerned the league of na- tions and disarmament, called for in President Wilson's peace principles. Daniels insisted that construction should proceed because these ques- tions are for future settlement and no one can forsee the decision.
 Secretary Daniels said he favored a league of nations, without which, he thought, a great fruit of the war would be lost As such a league would require an international police force of sufficient power to compel obedience of its decrces, he said, the United States must have . larger number of dreadnaughts and battle cruisers. While the navy had expand cd in the last year, he explained. con struction of big ships had been put aside to provide small craft to fight submarines.
 The new three-year building pro- gram, approved by the president, calls for construction of 10 super dreadnauPhts and six battle cruisers besides l40 smaller craft.
 Tn a league of nations, the secre- tary said, the United States must pro- vide large part of a police force, this being made ID with respect to the tonnage, shore line and commerce of the member nations Because of these factors, Daniels said he believ- ed this country, as the richest in the world. always would have to con tribute a large part of the sea police force.
