WAR STAMP DRIVE

Doubtful Whether City Went
Over Top in This Last War
Endeavor.

Great Fails probably did not 60 over
the top ia the War Savings Stamp drive
This campaign came to an end III mid
night last night and today the govern
ment WitAprodnce new issue of stamps.
However, whether this city went over
the top or not. and the definite result
is as vet uncertain and probably will be
tor several days until all the returns have
been received and tabulated, an excellent
record had been made when results
Teaching here several days ago were
compared with those attained in other
cities in the United States of the ap-
proximate population as that Of Great
Falls
Director S. S. Singer is confident that
were it not for the error on the part
Of the government official who was here
checking up results of the campaign late
in November. that the Cascade district
would easily have gone over the top.
At that time the figures announced BY
the governments representative were
so encouraging that those in charge of
the drive considered d special campaign
unnecessary. believing that the good
work would continue until the conclusion
Of the drive. 1t did continue but due to
an error somewhere Cascade county was
credited with all but $4,000 Of it's quota
three days prior to yesterday Then the
following day the error was perceived
and it was discovered the district would
have to raise approximately $4,000 to
put it over the top.
Director Singer announces if the
actual facts had been known a week ago
a special campaign would have been con-
Quoted and is confident the city would
have gone over. But everyone acquainted
with the citys reputation in the Liberty
bond campaigns and other war fund
enterprises admitted $1,000 worth could
easily be sold in this district in three
days. But $4,000 was something differ
ent. The announcement of the error just
a few days prior to the close Of the drive
was an unfortunate circumstance.

Navy Promotions on
Merit Suggested by
Secretary Daniels

Washington, Dec. 31.-Secretary Da-
niels in appearing today before the house
naval committee to explain the navy $
needs as regards personnel until per-
nanent establishment can be determined
in the light of the action Of the peace
conference, urged that hereafter naval
officers be promoted on merit.
The secretary recommended an amend-
ment that would withdraw all applica-
ton of seniority in making promotions.
Increased pay for the men of the navy
also was recommended by Mr.. Daniels,
the new naval bill provision making
from $G to tS15 for enlisted men. This
would make the pay range from $3b to
SOL a month. The secretary also asked
that one months pay be given navy
men as a gratuity when they are dis
charged from the service
In explaining TO the committee that
the department would not now ask for
any increase in the permanent enlisted
strength Of the navy, Secretary Daniels
said temporary increase should be
crranged to include 10000 temporary
regulars and $4,000 of the reserve for
operating transports, as total OF
25G,000 men would be needed for naval
ships and transports.
To give the 1000 additional officers
necessary for the permanent establish
n,ent by July, 1920, Mr.. Daniels said It
was proposed to transfer 1000 reserve
officers to the regular establishment to
rank as ensgns and lieutenants. These,
With 400 ensigns from the naval academy
next June, and 800 in june. 1920, would
make up the needed number

Think Conference
Should Be Hurried
to Forestall Action

Manchester, Dec. 31.-Commentlng on
President Wilson's visit and urging neees-
sity of assembling of the peace confer
ence without further delay, the GUARDIAN
tooay says:
"While we are talking and demon
strating others are acting and py no
means acting in sense favorable to the
translation of the ideal into the practl.
cal and the establishment of a rule OF
justice and good will among the nations
of the earth. Italy is creating accom-
plished facts on the western shore OF the
Adriatic, powerful party is forming IN
France which, not content with the re-
coyery of Alsace and Lorraine and the
happy healing Of that historic sore.
threatens to create fresh sore by an-
nexation beyond its borders. In Belgium
claims are being influentially asserted
not only to Luxemburg, but to suIid y
portions of Dutch territory on her no. Z
ern and eastern border. Poland Is
threatening and perhaps actually has oc-
cupied Danzig, German city with a
mere sprinkling Of Poles, and thus to cut
off East Prussia from West Prussia, ano
apparently she designs to pursue her en-
terprise by occupying purely German ter
ritory. further west and south.
The Guardian concludes:
Now this is obviously not exactly con
formabie to either the spirit or the let
ter of President Wilson's terms, but Is
an attempt tn forestall the decisions o1
| the conference when it meets and must
| tend gravely to hamper it's work

Apparently there has been a

that virtually all of them will APP
ply for license renewals next month,
notwithstanding the fact that the
emergency war measure makes the
country bone dry after July l..
The. majority of the men are will
ing. to take chance and pay the
$500 fee for the four months in
which the saloons may remain open.
Many OF the saloonmen also have
large stocks of whisky and in some
instances cheap grades of California
wine on hand. They want the extra
time in which TO dispose of their
stocks. r., '.~-
1t was the consensus of opinion
that the price of beer will &c, UP
considerably within short time.
There is much uncertainty as to the
price of whisky. Saloonmen are un-
able to tell whether the stocks to-
ward July 1 will be SO large that it
will be sold cheap or so depleted
that exorbitant prices may be- de-
manded rtrt
