WILSON 4 CRITIC
OF BRITISH NAVY
(By United Press)

Washington, May 11-Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, testifying today
before the senate subcommittee inves-
tigating naval affairs, declared that
President Wilson was much dissaatis-
fed with operations of the British
fleet in the world war up to the sum
mer of 1917 Secretary Daniels de-
clared that President Wilson express
ed his dissatisfaction with Great
Brltain's naval policy in a confidential
address given to the American fleet
that summer.
The navy secretary also declared
that President Wilson made a special
plea to the American navy, its of
ticers and men, to throw traditions to
the winds and devise new and more eff
fective methods of combating the sub
marine menace. The president, al
that time, thought Great Britain was
not effectively dealing with the sub
marine menace, being bound down by
tradition and adherence to an archaic
policy.

stefansson Tells why
Peary Reached Pole

New York, Feb. 20 Elimination
of heroism and the application of com
mon sense in his methods made Peary
the foremost, North polar explorer
and enabled him to reach the pole"
This comment on the death of the
noted American explorer. and discov-
erer of the North Pole was made here
today by Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arc
tic explorer and a close friend of
Peary.
Before the time Of Peary explora
ton of the Attic was attended with
much heroisr. Explorers were ac-
claimed as popular idols and mar
tyrs," Stefansson said, "The result
was hardships, suffering and TRACE
dies that accomplished nothing.
"Peary went about It in common
sense way. He adapted himself to
native conditions. If the Eskimos
could live in the Artic regions in
comfort, he decided he could and he
did. For all the work possible he
used the, natives and spared the
members of his expedition.
"Peary achieved his success By
working in winter. Before his time
It was the general belief that nothing
| ao,lld he accomnlishea in the Artic
except in spring and summer. The
natives did all their work in winter,
and, watching them, Peary followed
the same practice with ultimate sue
cess. 1t was his ability to work in
winter that made it possible for him
to reach the pole"

War Trucks for Road Builders

| war lTuCKS LOT hOdQ Dil1uGlS
To date the War Department mas
turned over to the United States
Department of agriculture approx
mately $4,000 motor vehicles, as pro
vided in congressional legislation en-
towering the latter department to dis
tribute this war material among the
State highway commissions for use
in road building, allotments of the
vehicles to be based on the amount of
Federal aid for roads which the State
receive. This is practically all the
vehicles which the War Department
has to release. Of this total $4,000
have been delivered to the States.
The remainder will be distributed as
fast as railway cars can be secured
for their transportation. Represen-
tatives of the Bureau of Public Roads
in charge of the matter, believe that
within two Or three months all of the
vehicles will have been delivered to
the States. This equipment promises
TO be great aid in carrying out the
large bodybuilding program for 1920
The State highway commissioners
are also interested in securing allot-
nents of tractors, steam shovels, 10
connective cranes, automotive cranes,
industrial railway track, dump cars,
and industrial locomotives which re-
main to be disposed Of by the War
Department. A measure known as
the Kahn Bill, directing the Secre-
tary of War to release this material
for the State highway commissioners,
has passed the Senate and has been
reported out of committee in the
House. Until the Secretary Of War
has been directed by Congress to turn
over this equipment it is not likely
that it will be available for State dis
tribution.

From Bath Enterprise

Bath county appears to be ap-
preaching boom in the lumber in
dustry Two large operations are
now in course OF formation in the
western part of our count..
The Flynn Lumber Co., West Vir-
ginia concern, have secured rights of
way for a standard guage railway
starting at Kincaid and going up
Jacksons river, through the gorge, to
Harper McLaughlin's and then up Bo-
lars draft to Mountain Grove, we
are told. 1t is supposed that Kin
caid will be the base Of this COM
pany's operations, as they have al
ready secured site for mill at this
place. They have already purchased
several large tracts of timber and
have taken options on others. This
will open up an immense territory of
timber and farming land that has
heretofore been isolated.
Another concern, said to be the
Curry Lumber Co., of Wythville, Va,
now has engineers running the out
lines Ct the largest, tract of virgin
timber in the western part OF the
state. Starting at Crosses switch,
they have included the Grose farm,
the McDanald farm, the Hunt Club
farm and the Jarvis survey, which
extends to Highland county. This
includes approximately 10000 acres
LEI timber. This company is said to
have secured a right of way for
standard guarge road as far as j. c.
Mc-Gufln's and that the c. & 0. will
operate same when completed.
We understand that work will be
Estarted on both of these operations

Her mother, Mrs. S. H. Terry, and
her sister, Miss Hazel, who is. teach
ing in Dayton, Virginia, were with
Elsie during her illness. She was the
second daughter of the late H. H.
Terry of Jacksons River.
She was born March 2, 1899 and
died February Is 1920, lacking only
a few days of reaching her 21st birth
day. She was cut off in the bloom of
life when she could realize how
.wcct it is to live.
Elsie was graduate of the M. H.
S. session 1918, and taught the
Woods Terry school in 1873,
doing splendid work, and was attend
ing school in Arlington when she be-
came i'll, preparingherself for greater
work in life.

el Sundayschool has lost two good
and faithful workers in a little less
than a year, out of the same family

move these bright and intelligent
ones to brighter beyond. let lis sub

She was brought home for burial
and laid to rest in the Wesley Chap

years ago.
