IN BESTOWAL OF RANK
Senate Committee Favors Perma-
nent Vice Admiral Grade for
Sims, Benson and Mayo.

Permanent rank of vice admiral for
Rear Admira1s Sims. Benson and Mayo
is proposed in compromise bill
ordered favorabiy reported today by
the Senate naval committee. Presi-
dent Wilson had recommended the
rank of full admiral for Sims and
Benson, and this was provided for in
the measure as it passed the House.
Reasons for Compromise.
The Senate, compromise resulted
from opposition to giving the rank
of admiral to Admiral Benson. former
chief of naval operations, and also to
insistent demand that equal recogni-
ton be accorded Admiral Mayo, who
commanded the Atlantic fleet during
the war. The controversy is expected
to be continued on the Senate floor
when the substitute bill is brought
up.
Suggested by Senator Lodge.
The proposal that equal rank be
given the three officers was made by
Senator Lodge, republican, Massachu-
setts. and it was said that on the final
vote Senator Swanson, democrat, Vir-
ginia, was the only member to vote
against the compromise.

based his objection to the adjourn

A Declaration of Dependence.

I'VE will draft here a declaration OF
dependence, not of independence: a
declaration that we are united one
with another, that we live in one an
others breath, and that we cannot
live in isolation; that we must join
bands together. not for our own sake
alone, but for the greater sake of our
country and of the world.
This conference is destined to sue
cess, because you meet. not in a spirit
of arrogance, but in a. spirit of hui
mility. -
see the condition that it is in and you
lift up your hearts in prayer that you
may be given guidance from that
power above to discover what justice
is. and ask that power to give you
courage to follow in that way. bowling
before the greatest spirit, asking that
right abroad to give US a real Ameri-
can spirit of fairness and accommoda-
ton and straightforward honesty
among ourselves.
1--WE will work out a way, because
it cannot be that there is no way out.
We are like bats that fly at noon:
We grope our way through the world
democracy is not thing that is final
and finished. Democracy is q thing
that is a growth. Democracy is not
a thing that is done. A thousand
years from now, IL our dag still flies
we will be cropping still to find some
land beyond for mans spiritual self.
"And so we meet. looking back and
humility. that we may be guided to
find that way. We do not ask to see
the distant scene. One steps enough
for me-"

Prices of Fruits and
Produce Coming Down

Quantities of homegrown pro-
duce brought to the city markets
again to-day sent prices down to the
lowest figures this season. Some
produce was selling to-day for just
half the price charged for the same
commodities less than three weeks
ago.
Harrisburg housewives took the
strawberry situation in hand last
Saturday, refusing to pay fancy
prices for a supply to preserve. The
result was evident this morning.
Dealers who took scores of boxes
home at Saturday night saw that it
was useless to ask thirty and thirty
five cents a box and to-day the
berries were plentiful in good sizes
from fifteen to twenty-five cents a
box. and they were selling fast, too.
Efforts to keep the price of OK
hart and other sweet cherries up
met with the same result as the
strawberry move. The folks just
wouldn't pay twenty-five cents a
box, but when they came down to
eighteen the dealers began to make
sales.
Beans, homegrown, three weeks
ago, were selling at fifteen cents a
box, and to-day were offered at
figfteen cents a quarter peck. Peas.
kept at twenty-five and thirty cents
a quarter during the last few weeks,
went down toFeighteen and twenty a
quarter.
Cantaloupes were on sale, ten to
twenty cents each, according to
size; peaches. still looking a trifle
green, were sold at ten and twelve
cents for a small box. Tomatoes
were selling at fifteen and twenty
cents a box.
