Erie nds Expect
Be a tty's Advent
as First Sea Lord
Will Bring Epoch
of Gigantic Arm
ored Submarines
of Great Speed
By ROBERT C. sKERRETT.

DMIRAL SIR PERCy- SCOTT
Il set the British naval world
\ agog shortly before the out
break Of the war in 1914 when he de-
clared in substance that the advent Of
the submarine meant the doom of the
dreadnought and the fast cruiser.
With characteristic obstinacy the
British naval experts and technical
writer's attacked Sir Percy, and in
some directions they theoretically
Knocked spots out OF his advocacy of
under water craft. The Admiral, who
won his patent of nobility by his re-
sourcefulness during the Boer war and
his general experiences in matters of
raval ordnance, Jared his professional
brethren by his denunciation of the
accepted orders of heavy battle craft.
Like most men of vision Sir Percy
was promptly damned by his oppo-
nsuts and there the matter ended un-
III the Won Tirpitz school began to
give disquietingly practical demon
STATIONS of the U-boat's insidious
powers.
The cumulative dread OF the sub
marine was we'll evidenced in Admiral
Lord John Jellicoe's hesitancy during
the battle Of Jutland, when he turned
the Grand Fleet away from the Ger
mans, fearful. as he admits in his re-
cent book, lest his splendid armored
giants fall victims TO ambushing Teu-
ton submarines The btiefest sum-
mary Of sea warfare during the four
years and more OF strife inevitably
emphasizes the destructive and re-
presslve effects of the KAiser's sub
aqueous craft, and every well informed
naval man is fully aware Of just how
the British virtually bottled up the
bulk OF their Grand Fleet behind a
massive and complicated submarine
defence placed athwart the entrance
into Scapa Flow. The ships of those
squadrons ventured forth for needful
practice from time to time only after
the neighboring sea had been secured
TO make reasonably certain that there
was little danger of running into way
laying U-boats.
Beatty Not Humorous.
No one can accuse Vice Admiral
Sir David Beatty of timorousness, for
the world knows how CALAMITY he
fought his battle cruisers and bore
the brunt of the German fire when he
Intercepted Admiral Won Scheer s
High Sea Fleet off the coast of Jut-
land. And yet this brilliant leader
seemingly is much in agreement with
the prophecy made by Admiral Sir
Percy Scott more than five years ago
A recent cable from London an
nounces: There probably win be q
great change in Great Britaln's naval
policy with the advent Of Vice-Ad-
miral Sir David Beatty as First Sea
Lord. Vice Admiral Beatty's friend:

Roads Allowed to

CINCINNATI, Oct THE govern
ment's antitrust suit against the Lake

company and other railroads and
hooking Valley coal companies was
virtually disposed of yesterday. when

court the Hooking Valley and the To-

agree TO shoulder the losses sustained d
on the bonds of the Continental Coal
company which were held by order of

The difference between the selling
price OF the bonds and par-approxi-

equally by the two railroad companies

Higher Fares Laid to
Demands Of Workers

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct 7.-Ad-
dressing the opening session of the
thirty eighth annual convention of the
American Electric Railway Association
here to-day, John M. Pardee, president.
declared that the question of decreased
service or higher fares is one between
the wage Garner and the car rider.
Necessity for providing revenues to
meet the increased demand of the
workers and not the desire of the rail
ways to increase their returns has
caused the general raising of fares,
Pardee decIarcd Cost is the main
question in the railway industry TODAY,
he said, and the cost of labor is the
predominant factor in that cost.
Because public utilities no LONGER
attract the investing public the associ-
alton president asserted, it is not pos
sible to absorb the increased cost of
operation by reducing the share that
capital received from the earnings of
the enterprise.

JAMES B. BECKER

Was Treasurer and Director Of

Sixteen Years.

Rev James Bromley Becker, treas
urer and director Of Georgetown Uni-
versity for sixteen years. died early

native Of this city.
Father Becker entered the novitiate
of the Society of Jesus in his seven
teenth year, and afterward pursued
his philosophical studies at the

Prevent Grain Waste

Enormous waste OF grain ana much
loss of time result every thrashlng
season, because of the inefficient
work of thrashing machines that
have not been thoroughly repaired
and put in working condition before
the beginning of the working sea-
son. Defective parts are overlooked,
or neglected in the hope that they
will last through the season. When
they fail in the midst of the thrash
ing season, serious losses often re-
suit before repairs can be made. In
or just before the thrashing sea-
son new parts are difficult to get
promptly. because of the rush of
orders from many who have procras-
tinated.
AS soon after the close of the
thrashing season as possible, says
the United States department of ag-
riculture. the separator should be
overhauled, necessary repairs and
adjustments made, and needed parts
ordered. This not only will prevent
loss of time and money dufing the
next working season, but will length
en- the life of the machine.

Hart Is Building g.
1859 Potato Houses

1--WE have plans nearly completed
now to build nine potato houses this
year that will store $4,000 bushels
of potatoes" reports County Agent
j. H. Warren, of Hart county. "Ali
the money, in several instances, has
been subscribed, the lumber made
ready, locations secured and suit
able man booked for the work. con-
tinues Mr.. Warren.
1.-The success of 1918 was far bet
ter than expected, and having learn
ed a few things from Experience we
are in position to render far more
efficient service this year. We ap-
preciate the cooperation Of the peo-
pie in being willing to furnish the
money in 1918 and in. taking the risk
to give this project a fair trial."
says Mr.. Warren.
From this report we see the bust
ness of building. potato houses in
Georgia is no longer an experiment.
and the farmers are not asked to
risk their money. 1t is an excellent
business proposition for a communi-
ty, growing moderate amounts of
sweet potatoes, to take up.
There are certain things to re-
member when plans are made to
properly store and cure out sweet
potatoes.
They must be we'll matured when
dug; they must be carefully handled;
they must BE well dried and cured
after they are put into the houses;
they must be kept at a uniform tenn
perature after being cured.

CaIifornians Object to 'CaIif.'

The poStofhce department, at the
instance of the geographic board, has
changed the abbreviation of Califor-
MIA from Cal. to Calf. The reason
given for this is that to be that Cal.
looks so much like Col. in the uncer-
tain handwriting of many persons
that mail often goes to Colorado
which really is intended for the Col
den Gate state Commenting upon
this change, a writer in the Los An
geles Times gives vent to the follow
ing wall
Is the proud and beautiful name OF
our beloved state to be subjected to
this asinine abbreviatory absurdity?
The theory is that, through the
similarity of "Cal." and "Col." let
ter addressed, say, to Santa Monica,
Cal, might wander all the way to
Cripple Creek, Colo, because a myo-
pic postal clerk read the California
"a for the Colorado Co."
There undoubtedly are instances
where mail has gone astray for this
reason, but it is safe to say they are
comparatively few. Towns of the
same name in the two states prob
ably can be counted on the fingers
of the two hands, and only in a small
percentage of the total of the mail
for such places is it likely that the
"a" and the 20" are written in a
manner to confuse.

Drops a Month
Out of Her Life

Five-year-old Rosetta Pagano
has dropped month out of her
life. But Rosetta doesn't miss
it.
Rosetta slept for month in
New York hospital, a victim of
the strange malady that has gone
across the country.
When she aWoke, she hummed
a little tune which sounded like,
oh, How l Hate to Get Up in the
Morning." Then she asked
Where am II"
Nurses explained to her that
she had been very sick and must
lie very quiet for a while. But
Rosetta insisted that she was not
- and that she wanted her
dolly and wanted to know what
her playmates at the kindergar-
ten were doing, -a.h s.. -.
Rosetta was fed a pint of milk
and two eggs each day through Il
&c while she slept and she came
cf her long s1umber but two
pounds lighter than when she
at to sleep. Her eyes spar
killed. and she seems none the
worse for the experience.
