j: S. AGAIN MAY HAVE
EUROPEAN SQUADRON
Held as Essential Because Of Ex.
panding Merchant Marine-Base
There Likely.

There are indications that the Navy
Department plans the revival of the
old European squadron. With the In
creased responsibilities Of the United
States in Europe, due to the war and
the expanding merchant marine. 1t is
regarded as probable that a large
naval force will be maintained in
European waters hereafter. It is pos
sible that steps may be taken TO-
ward establishing base facilities for
the upkeep Of the force. The Navy
now has a station at the Azores and
officers believe an arrangement with
the Portuguese government under
which the station will be continued
for some time.
In discussing the future of the
of a league of nations must produce
new considerations. AS the United
States is sponsor for the proposal for
a world league, it is assumed that a
concrete plan of action has been
mapped out for President Wilson by
his military advisers This would in
clude the proposal Of an organization
under which the combined fleets
would operate to police the world.
ing for an int. national police force
of the seas, many officers believe. is
to SO provide that the locality of the
disturbance to be quelled govern the
composition of any international
fleet to be sent to the scene. That,
also, would obvfate any difficulty as
to selecting the officer to command.

SPIRIT: IN CRISIS OF WAR
Was Powerful Factor, Rev. e. J.

Continuing, Father Sweeney said:
Much is left always to the individ-
ual, to his sense Of duty, to his patrf-
otism. It's power is the power Of the
nation; its will, the will Of the people.
"In this supreme hour our country
the country we love-ca11ed. Is calling
upon the devotion OF her myriad sons
And daughters. asking them for the
active unwearied patriotism that
shows itself in deeds. in sacrifice: a
patriotism that grasps the situation as
she sees it, and is willing to put all
aside for the welfare Of the nation.
ITO the very end was our cry-'te
the very end with our country, guided
by God. that all nations, as we, may be

Points Out Difficulties.
Majority Socialists Attitude.


The attitude of the majority social
lists in the government is set forth by
Philip Scheidemann in the vorwaer s
He declares that the alleged technical
difficulties In the way of early cleo
tions can easily be overcome.
There is no need. he says, for the
usual preliminary registration and the
drafting of election lists. Every SOL
der has a military pass upon the
presentation of which he would be
able to vote wherever he might hap
pen to be. The pass could be stamped
to prevent repeating. A uniform
pass easily could be issued to other
citizens and women emitting them to
vote in the same manner as the SOL
diers
1.-THE objection that If the elections
are held In January there will be no
opportunity for campaigning" says
Schefdemann, appears to be utterly
unimportant. He who does not know
whether he will vote for Stresemann,
Erzberger, Westarp, Haase, or Ebert,
will not know any better six or eight
weeks later. -
ut is my conviction that the ground
gained by the revolution can be more
securely entrenched the earlier the
elections are held. This belief grows
more firmer daily. The sooner cleo
ton day is announced the sooner we
shall have bread and peace

ACCIDENT ON WAY
HA[TS LIQUOR TRIP
Rockville Courthouse Gets
1872 Quarts Of Whisky on
Way to Capital.
AUTO DRIVER ARRESTED

One hundred and thirty-two quarts Of
whisky, evidently intended to quench
the Thanksgiving thirst Of portion Of
dry Washington, is on exhibition in the
Office Of Sheriff william L. Aud, in the
courthouse at Rockville.
The liquor was taken in charge by
Sheriff Aud last night, when Robert
Riley, colored. Of 100 East Capitol street,
was arrested on a charge Of recklessly
operating an automobile. Riley was
committed to Jail at Rockville to await
trial y
The automobile containing the wishky
was driven to the courthouse. There,
for safekeeping, the numerous bottles
were piled in imposing array in cor
ner OF the sheriff s office.
Arrest Follows Accident.
RiIey's arrest followed an accident at
Damascus, Md, in which Lyndal Cue.
ten years old, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. T. Cue, was seriously injured. She
was knocked down by an automobile
and was picked up in a semi-conscious
condition. No bones were broken, how
ever, and her recovery is looked for
Riley's trial will not be held until the
extent of the child's injuries are def
nitely determined.
The accident resulted in number
of the bottles of liquor being scat
tered along the road. These. or all
excepting a few bottles which sew
eral dry citizens grabbed first, we're
quickly gathered up by Riley, who
entered his automobile and drove off.
Sheriff Aud was telephoned to. how
ever, and arrested Riley midway be-
tween Damascus and Rockville.
Ownership in Doubt.
So far as the whisky is concerned,
it doesn't appear to belong to any
one. Riley insists that it is not his
and declares that he does not know
to whom it belongs. It is known,
however, that the liquor was obtained
in Baltimore and was on its way to
Washington.
1t is understood that Rileys auto
was accompanied by another machine,
even more heavily laden with wet
goods. whicc kept on its way when
Riley was halted.
