TIDE EVER
 IN NEW YORK HARRoR

New York, Feb. 5.-Huge waves rolled up by a fifty mile gale were still sweeping the north Atlantic coast tonight while cities and towns along the shore were trying with in different success to dig themselves out of the deepest snow drifts of years. Damage done by the sea to resorts and summer homes along the New Jersey and Long Island coasts was estimated at hundreds of thous- ands of dollars.
 Shipping remained at anchor or moved with the utmost caution. In the land-locked waterways around New York huge ice foes menaced navigation. The steamer Maine of the New England Steamship Com pany was driven ashore on the north end of Long Island and four other Sound liners were reported creeping along through fields of ice. The Maine, which carries five passengers and a crew of seventy, was reported in no immediate danger and a tug has been sent to her reliC@

 While mountainous seas were bat tering the coast, the highest tide ever recorded in New York harbor caused floods along the Hudson and Harlem rivers. Flooded ferry houses on tAe New York and New Jersey sides of the Hudson hampered still further transportation lines already strug- gling with deep snow. Water from the Erie terminal dripped into the Hudson tubes at Jersey City.
 At the headquarters of inc reeioDa1 director of railroads, freight condi- t!ons resulting from the storm were chara cterized as difficult but not dangerous It was asserted there had been no blockade but that traffic was moving slowly. The worst con dltions were said to be between New London and Boston on the New Ha- ven road, about Port Jervis on the Erie and in the big New York Cen tral yards at West Albany and De Witt.

DANIELS TELLS OF WILSON'S
 PLAN TO OVERCOME U-BoATS

New York. Feb. 5.-President Will son was given credit here tonight by Secretary Daniels, speaking at the democratic club dinner to National Chairman Homer $. Cummings, for having seen the necessity Of shutting German submarines off the seas as the only effective method of combat ting them before naval staffs 'on either side of the water" moved to that end.
 You must shut up the hornets in their nest" the president was quoted by MT. Daniels as having said in quarterdeck speech to officers of the battieship Pennsylvania, early in the war, flor you can never end the sub marine peril if you let them out and then have to devote yourselves to chasing them all over the ocean,
 "'The barrage finally built across the North Sea" MS. Daniels said. was the American navy's answer to the presidents counsel It was pro- posed by. Admiral Earle (chief of ordnance) in April 1917, approved by Admiral Benson and Admiral Mayo,
 by the general board. by the secre-
 tary of the navy and by the presi-
 dent. It was the greatest new con-
 structiYe naval measure of effective ness in the whole war. It was
 factor hoth in destroying the morale
 of the German navy and in it's dead
 ly destruction of submarines"
 President Wilson had also pointed out before naval staffs had reached
 that conclusion. MT. Daniels said, that the only way to most surely safeguard merchant ships was to send them in conveys protected by
 armed ships.
 Tho 0lr vaorrS
 of congress since 1918, when "dishon-
 est appeal to hyphenated politics en-. abled the republicans to elect a ma
 jority of this congress- and declared the people had already found they got a gold brick That record he characterized as certain to defeat the [ republican party next November, .'as , it is certain that the democrats will have the wisdom to go forward and self a platform Of constructive leg i islation.''
 1 Mir. Daniels said he believed that a 1 league of nations such as that pro- i posed in the treaty would enable the world to maintain peace without i competitive naval building. but that i without such a league, American i duty was "as plain as a pike staff" i He quoted President Wilson's state ment Tn 1916 that the navy should be l "incomparably the most adequate l navy in the world" and added that l none of the present American build i ing programme would be delayed or abandoned.
 Reviewing the history of the mer- chant marine through forty years of republican neglect and indiffer- ence," the naval secretary declared it was not until President Wilson's first inauguration when a shipping bill was introduced in 1914 by Rep
 resentative Alexander, now secretary of commerce, that a constructive measure. to give America a merchant 1 marine with administrative backing had been presented.
 This new merchant marine is in l jeopardy again, he said. Unless the people register their high resolve
 never again to let America be depen-
 dent upon foreign bottoms this re- i publican congress will start the mer- chant marine down the toboggan
 slide out of which Woodrow Wilson
 pulled it against republican opposi- tion and hostility"

BRITISH TO CEASE THE
 IMPORTATION OF COTTON

London, Feb. 5.-The situation cre- ated by the. decision of the cotton inn porters to cease importations is un- precedented in the history of the Lancashire trade but although it is admitted to be serious, it is asserted that there is no cause for anxiety.
 According to the figures printed here the stocks of American cotton total 766,5 ,53S bales, while an addition al 43S, 900 bales are on the sea Aside from these stocks the spinners are said to hold considerable quantities, probably enough 10 keep the mills going for two or three weeks.
 Sir Charles Maeara, former presi- dent of the Master Cotton Spinners' Association in an interview in the Daily Mail says the problem is very serious.
 If importation is stopped for a considerable time, the cotton must also cease" he asserts. "The govern ment ought to move energetically."
 The Mail quotes T. " Cook, former president of the Liverpool Cotton As- sociation as saying that the stock of America2 cotton on hand would car " on trade for a considerable time He cited the re- exportation of Amer lean cotton to America at a profit to the shipper on this side as showing that the Liverpool market today is the cheapest in the world and point ed out that although the low ex- pressing is against the importer it favors exporters of finished goods which undersell the American pro- duct in It's own market

Git|OW Guilty of
 Criminal Anarchy
Former Bronx Assemblyman Was Remanded to Jail Un- til February II For Sen tence.

New York, Feb. 5-Benjamin Git low, former Bronx assemblyman, was found guilty of criminal anarchy by jury in the criminal branch of the state supreme court here this after noon. The jury was out 2lk ho1irs
 Gitlow was remanded to jail until February Il for sentence The law provides maximum penalty of from five to ten years in state prison. He was indicted with James Larkin, Irish labor agitator
 Clarence s. Darrow of Chicago. Git lows cousel, indicated that an appeal would be asked, taking exception to many of the comments of the court" to the jury during the charge. Dar- row objected particularly to some of tie definitions of Justice Weeks, in cIuding those of the words 'advo- cate, ''proletariat", "bourgeisie'' man. ifesto' and appropriate" which re- cured throughout the trial.
 Gitlow was arrested in. a raid on Communist quarters here last Novem- Der. He was charged with criminal anarchy in connection with reprodltc ton of the Communist party mani festo in the Revolutionary Age, an extremist newspaper with which he was connected.
 In two hours charge to the jury, Justice Weeks stated that evidence had been produced to show that Git low paid for the printing of the is sue Of the paper and that the de- fense had conceded that Gitlow was responsible for the publication. The test must come whether or not the manifesto came under the criminal anarchy. statute in that it advocated overthrow of the government by force violence or other unlawful means. he said, adding that the words in the manifesto must be read "wjta their ordinary meaning"
 Gitlow, who is 29 years old, said he was a clothing cutter until he be- came manager of the Revolutionary Age last June

TO FINANCE TRANSFER
 OF MERCHANT MARINE

Washington, Feb. 3. Investment funds of the American people must be drawn upon to finance the transfer of the government-ow mercantile ma rine to private ownership, TrN M. Campbell. former admiralty lawyer of the Shipping Board, said today before the senate commerce committee Funds in banks and other commercial chan nels will not be sufficient, he said, and for that reason he advocated legis- lation to give ship mortgages and bonds issued against them higher standing as liens against seagoing vessels.
 The legislation 1 have prepared at the instance of Former Chairman Hur- ley. of the board, said MT. Campbell. will make ship mortgages liens on vessels prior to number of charges now elassed ahead of it, and will give a quick method of foreclosure against vessels. If we want to have the ships go to a permanent class of new small operators, something like this must be adopted"
