THE BOOK OF ANN Ann Explains Her Part in the Awful Event at the Beach

HEAVY DECLINE IN
 WHEAT CONDITION
Winter Crop Placed at 1885, 617,00O Bushels, as Com pared With 731, 1,636,OOO
 Last Year
By Associated Press

Washington, April s.--A severe win ter. the Hessian fly and an unfavorable seeding period caused heavy decline in the condition of winter wheat in the principal producing states.
 A department of agriculture fore cast today placed the crop at 4SS,6l7 ,ooO bushels, compared with 7S1,6S6,000 bushels last year.
 The acreage planted was not as great as the year before, but a larger crop than forecast was anticipated.
 In the principal producing states Kansas, Illinois, Missouri. Indiana and Ohio-the condition of the crop on April 1 ranged from 59 to 79 per cent of a normal compared with a ten-year average range of from 79 to 90 For the country as whole the condition was 75.6 per cent of normal, compared with 99.S last year and S4.1, the aver age for the last ten years. The decline from last December was 9.6 points.
 In the great central winter wheat belt the crop condition is very low and considerable abandoned acreage will be shown, according to reports reaching officials here. The percent age of acreage abandoned this year will be reported by the government in May.
 There were 3S.77O, 900 acres sown to winter wheat last fall. compared with 42, ,301 ,0o0 acres in 1918 and an average of 32,300.000 acres for the past ten years.

constitutional right of the Congress to pass such legislation, insisting it was con- templated invasion of the treaty making powers cor fersed on the executive branch and the senate.
 Historical legal precedents were mar shaled to support this view and the writ ings of authorities on international law quoted at length. The republicans quoted other authorities and precedents and maintained that all that was sought was to end legally a war that had, in fact. ended long ago
 The treaty making powers were not affected they insisted, and a formal treaty with Germany could be drawn and ratified as provided by the constitution.
 Representative Campbell in presentnc the rule assured the house that there vas no intention to permit any other vote than upon adoption Of the resolution and one vote on recommitment.
 Representative Flood, democrat vir- einia. leading the opposition. had not determined tonight the form the motion to recommit would take. Possibly it win contain instructions that a substitute resolution. more acceptable to the demo crats. be reported back by the foreign affairs committee but there was no an. ticipation that such a move could be put through.

SCHOOLS TURN OUT
 ID HEAR O'NEAL ON
 TENTH AMENDMENT
Former Governor Stresses States Rights as Very Foundation of Liberty
 and Welfare

Cullman, April .)-Pupils of School and large number of the. voters of Cullman county heard Former Gov. Emmet O'Neal at the curthouse. today, when he spoke in the interest of his can didacy for the United States Senate, short term.
 Because of the presence of the students, who attended in a body, accompanied by teachers, Mr. O'Neal devoted a greater part of his speech to discussion Of the basic principles upon which democratic government, with a special reference to the circumstances which led to the adoptin of the federal constitution and the reservation to the respective states of right to govern their own internal af- fairs, generally spoken of as states rights.
 The former governor expressed the opinion that the eighteenth amendment, providing for nationwide prohibition, is
 in conflict with the tenth amendment which, in substance, provides that all powers not delegated to the United States nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively. or the people meaning the people of the respective states.
 NOT BOUND
 This reservation. he said, is 10 the states respectively and not collectively; and that hence state that refused to stify the eighteenth amendment was not bound by it's provisions. He stated that the states had never delegated to the federal government the control or beverages, but by the tenth amendment --s.. f..ff -o1. CTS He argued that if the eighteenth amendment is sustained by fae supreme court, the tenth amendment would be abrogated and our government would be converted into q centralized beaurocratlc enlpire with all power over the hates, customs and the drink Of the people of the United States, emnating from Wash
 ngton; a power which would be en' forced by aliens and strangers to our people, who would disregard our habits and customs and take all their orders from the central authority at Washrt ton With such construction. the gov ernment created by our fathers WouIt cease to exist and with it the personal liberty of the individual citizen Ut is not a question of whether we shall drink or where we shall drink, but it is a question of personal liberty which overshadows all others, he said. MT ONeal ridiculed and denounced the more drastic features of the Vol stead act which he referred to as ehe pi ohibiton force bill" and prmised that, if elected to the Senate, he would make it the first act of his senatoriai career to introduce bill so to modify that act as to permit the sale of light wines and beer.
 The speaker was introduced by W. F. James and at the conclusion Of his ad- dress was given an ovation by the cltl- zens, many Of whom had stopped thclr delayed blowing in order to be present to hear and to meet him.
 | The Cullman brass band met the , former governor on his arrival. paraded the streets of the city in his honor ana made music at the courthouse while the crowd was gathering. The speaker was repeatedly interrupted with cheers ana 1 arplause.

ADMIRAL W|LSoM
 SAYS NAVY READY.
Says Complete Plans Were Prepared to Meet German
 Naval Offensive
 By Associated Press

Washington. April S.-Admiral H. B. Wilson commander-in-chef of the Att
 lantic fleet, disagreed today with many
 Of Rear Admiral Sims criticisms of the
 navy departments conduct of the war.
 Before the Senate investigating connnit- tee, the admiral declared the active
 fleet never was better prepared for war tran in April, 1917 the department
 "hole-heartedly and energeticaIly coop
 erated with the allies from the moment war was declared, and full and com plete' plans were prepared to meet a German naval offensive.
 The navy's accomplishments in the war the admiral said, deserve the commen- dation of the nation" for they were so stupendous as to make relatively unim- portant any mistakes.
 Five days after the United States de- clared war, Secretary Daniels told rep
 resentatives of the allied admiralties that the United States navy would do what
 ever they suggested as best for the com mon cause, the witness said, and plans then agreed were immediately placed
 iE effect At that time he asserted, the foi eign officials did not express any
 dire need of urgency for naval assis- tance. eested that greater authority and re- sroEsibility be given the chief of Raval operations but said that he would not have that official encroach on the au- thority of the secretary of the navy for he added. the navy's salvation is to have civilian~at the head

 MT. Palmer referred to criticisms of his QuAkerism and statements, that he had refused the post of secretary of war in 1916 and could not, therefore, be the com- mander of the army and navy as Presi- dent. ~
 Far be it from me to deny the faith of my fathers said Mir Palmer.
 T couldn't accept post in the piping days of peace where I should have 70 spend four of the best years of my lie in preparation for war that l believe IS impossible" declared the speaker.
 But I was for this world war. Every boy in my family and eevry boy in my wife's family, all QuaEers, were in the war from the first to the last.

TENANTS HOWL WITH
 GLEE AS THEY WIN
 OVER RENT GOUGERS
,continued from Page one)

(Continued from Page One) Trahl granted 43 tenants permis- sion to stay in their apartments another year at the present rentals.
 The landlords proposed to add S or s6 to rents varying from $l9 to s25. Justice Trahl suggested a flat increase of $2 and the landlords offered to withdraw increases. Then the court told them such a step would necessitate payment of $10 costs for each case, and the land- lords agreed to let the tenants stay a year at present rents.
 After Justice John R. Davies in his court had thrown out most of 250 eviction cases that came before him, he declared war on all classes of profiteering.
 "We are going to stop all profi- teering" said Justice Davies.
 First we are getting after the landlords and next in turn will come the servant girl profiteers. then the shoe dealers, and then the dealers in flour"
