DANCE AT THE
COUNTRY CJCB

Last evening at the Wilson Coun-
try Club, Mrs. B. e. Howard was
hostess to a most delightful dance,
given in honor of the twin birthday
of Miss Reba Howard and Miss Glyn
Gardner These attractive young la
dies were IL years old yesterday and
their 18th birthday will be long re-
membered by the large number of
their young friends and many of their
older friends who attended.
The clubhouse was artistically dec
GRATED in foliage green, which served
as a delightful background to the
pretty dresses of the many lovely lit
tie girls.
During the evening the big punch
bowl, presided over by Mesdames
Clayton Barden and John Woodard,
was a popular center Of attraction
between dances.
The young folks gathered in full
force early in the evening, AMI under
the inspiring strains of the famous
Garber-Davis orchestra danced with
pep and enthusiasm that spelt Joy
and good time such as only real
young folks can feel.
During the time usually given to
the intermission, Miss Glyn Gardner
and Alton Barden and Miss Frances
Daley and Floyd Davis proved win
| ners of prizes in exhibition dances
Little Miss Anderson and little Miss
| Finch also did some clever dancing
AS the evening grew late and the
little folks sleepy, the older persons
| present joined in the dance. During
the entire evening the clubrooms
were filled with guests, dancers and
| spectators. The large number of
| them prevents our publishing a list
of those present.
/ A large number of birthday re-
membranes brought by. the little
guests were seen on the table at the
entrance of the ballroom of the club
The music of the Garber-Davis or
chestra always excellent, was better
even than usual. One of those pres
ent, watching the influence of Mr.
Garber's music upon the little folks
!; laughingly compared him with tn,
Pied Piper.
: Mrs. Howard is to be congratulat
I ed upon the splendid success of he
: efforts to delight the little guests o
honor and their many friends.

MERCHANTS FAIL

WITH MANUFACTURERS

Raleigh, Nov 22-The merchants |
of North Carolina, through their spe-
cial committee, and Food Admins |
traitor Henry A. Page, yesterday fail |
ed to agree upon a margin of profits |
to be put into effect in the State. The |
efforts of Mr.. Page and the merch- |
ants to get together on a fair mar
gin of profits were ended after the
merchants had presented PROPOSE
tiOn with a view of securing fair
prices of uniform application over
the entire country.
The conference yesterday between
Mr.. Page and the special committee
was a waste of time as far as the
adoption of fair prices. When the
meeting ended stood that a fair price
will be set probably were no nearer
an agreement than before the begin
ming of negotiations
AS their only solution of the mat
ter, the merchants offered a resolu-
ton expressing their sentiment on
any action looking toward the fixing
of prices unless tho profits should
apply in every Sta,e.
Mr.. Page told the committee that
he could not accept nor sanction the
proposition, since his activities were
limited to North Carolina After his
ultimatum the committee held an ex-
ecutive meeting and then notified Mr..
Page they had no further solution to
Offer.
The efforts to reach an agreement
having been unsuccessful, the next
move by Mr.. Page is uncertain. He
has given the merchants a chance to
agree upon margin 9f profit, it is
pointed out and they have stated
they cannot agree. While Mr.. Page
has not announced the future course
he will pursue, it is understood that
! fair price will be set probably upon
| advice from Washington and then
warn merchants that they must con-
duct their business accordingly.
! The resolution submitted to Mr..
Page, who rejected it, is as follows:
Whereas, the provision of the
Lever act, as amended, applies uni
! formly over the whole United States,
! and the merchants of North Carolina
;, CO not desire any advantage and OBJ
| ject to any discrimination as COM
! pared with the merchants of other
States; and
\ Whereas, it is the sense Of this
meeting that any action looking to
fixing prices or profits should apply
| uniformly all over the United States

method and it was not until American
counsel was added upon our joining the
war that the Admiralty at last agreed to
throw overheard the patrol system and
adopt the convoy system.
The British Admiralty's principal objec-
tion to convoy was that there were not
enough of the proper types of warshipS to
guard the convoys and that therefore sub
marines could concentrate and slaughter
ships in convoy as wolves in a flock of
sheep. This reason seemed sound to the
British mind. but it was not. for the reason
that the number of guards required was not
as great as at first thought, and they SOC n
found that many of the patrol war ships
could be dispensed with and used to guard
conveys The convoy system required care
full planning to prevent contacts at sea at
night or in fogs. but after all merchantmen
were i'm convo' the risk Of collision at sea
was much less, for conveys travelling in
one direction were given routes clear Of
those in another direction.

ployed during a war to define the power
of a beligerent to use the sea with reason
able security, denying its use to its enemy.
In all past wars previous to the great
war the belligerent accomplished this
command" with surface war ships Now
airships and submarines, both instruments
capable of disputing the command Of the
sea against surface war ships, have arrived
to alter, not the principles involved but the
method of their application.
Surface vessels in sufficient types and
numbers can control the surface Of the sea
and can destroy all enemy vessels that
must remain and fight in plain sight on the
surface Of the ocean. Surface vessels can
not conquer airships or submarines, for the
very simple reason that they cannot catch
them.
Airships must be attacked by airships.
The principles underlying fighting in the
air are the same as those applying to sur
face ships; in other words a more for
midable air fleet than the enemy is a ne
cessity. But the submarine cannot be sub
dued in this way so easily. for the reason
that underwater vision does not exist
Once the submarine leaves the surface it
disappears from sight. and despite all pre-
fences to the contrary, 1t cannot be heard

bility

Weapon of the Weaker.

The submarine traverses the surface IN
der one kind Of motive power. the Diesel
engine. and the most improved type can
keep continuously in motion at about five
OF six knots until it has travelled ten thou
sand miles: that means a submarine can re-
main away from its base for about five
months without refuelling Under water.
the submarine is driven by storage batteries
through electric motors. The energy ex-
pended in running submerged is replaced
by the Diesel engines charging the battery,
the motors acting as electric generators.
In the hands of brave and determined
men the submarine when in numbers. be-
comes a very formidable opponent and one
the surface vessel naturally breads because
it can never know when it may be blown
suddenly TO pieces by a torpedo fired at ii
by an unseen and unheralded foe.
Command Of the sea permits the belliger-
ent possessing II to continue its commercial
activities by water across the sea highways.
This assures the keeping open of communi-
cation with neutral nations reached only by
water and insures obtaining the necessary
material and money TO continue the war.
The submarine is the weapon OF the
weaker belligerent. 1t cannot gain command

Adopts the Convoy System.

The underlying principle OF the convoy
system may be explained by saying that it
brought the mountain to Mahomct." Be
fore its adoption England permitted about
twenty-five hundred cargo ships to arrive
singly into her ports and about the same
number to depart Singly. This made pro-
cession OF ships passing and repassing over
the same narrow sea routes. What a won
derful chance for the submarine.
To protect this never ending procession
small! patrol vessels Of many types had been
scattered over these narrow waters and
their duty had been TO attack the submarine
when sighted insufficient numbers of pa
trolls permitted ships to be torpedOed by the
score weekly, while the patrol boats arrived
only in time TO rescue the crews after the
ships had disappeared beneath the waves.
The patrol method was wasted effort yet
the Admiralty held to this method until
forced by outside opinion to abandon it.
The convoy system collected all mer-
chant ships into a compact body which was
given larger number Of small war ships to
guard it until well out on the high seas
away from the narrow waters where the
submarine lurked. There the convoy was
diSbanded to 60 to the several destinations.
This did not involve great risk. for the seas
were wide. The conveys made up in the
United States and other countries sailed in
these compact formations until arrival in
ports Of England or France and through the
narrow waters were given escorts Of patrol
boats. Now the kernel Of the case was
this:-When a submarine torpedoed a ship
IN convoy il had 10 do 50 in sight OF one
or more patrol boats, therefore the patrol

Command of the Sea.

The German brain could not conceive OF
continuing the fight after their armies and
navy were forced upon the defensive. It
takes a finer courage to fight on the de-
fensive than on the offensive. for or the
offensive the spirit Of man receives inspira-
ton from the result Of his attacks. while
on the defensive "dogged does it," a trait of
character not possessed by the German.
The term command OF the sea" is en-

boats were given the opportunity to attack
the submarine, which they all along desired.
Furthermore, the submarine had been using
its guns upon merchant ships sinSly, but to
do this upon a ship in convoy now brought
the submarine TO the surface and in contact
with the guarding patrols close by.
True, submarines still took their toll upon
merchant ships, but under greatly increas-
ing dangers to themselves. The convoy sys-
TEN forced the submarines TO come to the
patrol boats because they remained with the
submarines intended victims. To avoid the
patrols the submarines naturally would
have had to avoid attacking the merchant
men which were the objects OF their work.

Her First Weak Answer.

So battle ships and cruisers. the mon
archs Of the sea, are helpless before the sub
marine in he same way that prize fighter
is helpless before burglar with his auto
matte pistol drawn. The prize fighter can
not dodge a bullet
EnGland's reply was characteristic OF her
past sea strategy developed through count
less years Of controlling the sea highways
a concentration or warshipS 10 fight the
submarine at the focii OF trade routes. but
this method. although it had brought sue
cess to England in the past, did not do so in
this case and the reason was that ian
enemy which fights in the open can be met
and defeated by superior surface force. but
one that turks in the depths Of the sea can
not be subdued by those familiar means. but
must be met by a new and more up TO date
method Of attack"
The consequence was that England in at
tempting to apply the old principle Of con
centration OF force against the submarine
found herself. after several months Of
effort, face to face with failure and her pop
ulation and army faced with starvation. and
all because the Admiralty was attempting
TO apply well known principle in the old
way without appreciating that, although
the principle was applicable, yet the method
OF its application was wrong, owing to the
changed characteristics Of its enemy.
All know now that the submarine menace
was held in check and England did not
starve. yet how many Of us realize that the
submarine as a weapon could not have been
defeated. for on the day OF the armistice
Germany owned a greater number Of sub
marines OF the most improved types than
az any time since the declaration Of war in
August, 1914. and this after having lost by
casualty nearly two hundred submarines
during the four years Of operation.
England finally held starvation at arms
length by a method long understood but
the Admiralty was very loath TO use this

but won the victory because OF a yellow
streak in the German character. While the
German was torpedoing or sinking by gun
fire the unescOrted merchantmen he was in
no danger for it was impossible for the few
patrol boats to cover all the seas. 1t seemed
therefore like play to the German. He was
on the crest of the wave - winning - his
morale was high. He saw the enemy's great
ship sink without resistance. Should
patrol appear on the horizon, the submarine
quietly passed from the insecurity of the
surface to the more hOspitabe depths Of the
ocean, where no eye or ear could detect him.

The Submarines Power.

1t has been ever more or less mystery
to the American naval men why the Ger
man submarine did not carry out its threat
against our transport conveys. As is well
known, large conveys Of American troops
entered the ports Of Brest and st. Nazaire
weekly, and during the months of May,
June and July. 1913. even more often. This
must have been known 10 the German Ad-
miralty. yet no real concentrated attack
ever was made. These great conveys, con-
tanning often as many as fifteen large
transports with total in convoy Of 10000
men, were seldom molested. From the
United States to the neGhborhood of the
Azores practically no anti-submarine es-
cort was furnished. but the ocean is wide
and it was consequently difficult for the
submarine to plan TO intercept the conveys.
From about longitude 20 west to the
French ports OF debarkation numerous de-
stroyer escorts were furnished the conveys.
Here was the submarines opportunity. yet
he seldom grasped it. The reason is the
same-the personnel did not have the sand
to attack in the presence Of so many vigi-
less hazardous work and attacked mer,
chant conveys only where destroyer escort
was small in comparison 10 the large num-
Der Of ships collected into one convoy. The
German submarine officers, even as early
as the spring Of 1913. felt that the morale
OF their crews was not equal 10 attacks
upon we'll escorted American troop con-
voys.
As n weapon the submarine was not van
quished The result again proves Napo-
Icons formula that in war the personnel is
TO the material as three 10 one. Germany's
personnel suffered break Of morale which
took from the submarine warfare three
fourths Of its sting
This new method Of keeping up her lines
Of communication did not give England the
victory over the submarine as a weapon.
