WAR INEVITABLE
WITH GERMANY,
BENSONDECLARES

WASHINGTON, May Admiral
William S. Benson, formerly chief of
naval operations and now chairman
Of the shipping board. today told the
senate committee investigating naval
conduct of the war, that even before
the outbreak of the war in 1914 he
believed the United States would ul-
timately fight Germany. He said he
felt the United States participation
on the side of the allies was newt
able from the day hostilities began.
He informed Secretary Daniels of
his opinion, the admiral said, but he
did not believe. in view of the gen.
eral sentiment of the country, that
the avy departmet wouldn have been
justified in preparing for war until
congress indicated the nations in
tentions.
Admiral Benson said he felt re-
sponsible for the navys policies and
operations during the war, because
he was chief military adviser to Sec
'retary Daniels Asserting that his
mind was quite clear regarding the
main principles involved, he said he
had carefully avoided a prepared
statement Of his testimony in order
that it might be entirely unbiased.
The sinking of the Lusitania alone
was not sufficient to Justify the Unit
ed States in openly preparing for
war against Germany, the witness
declared. Even after the German
ambassador was given his passports
in February, 1917, the feeling of the
people was such that war with Ger
many could not be considered newt
able. Admiral Benson asserted.
II do not wish to say anything
that might. be- construed as attach
ing any blame on Secretary Dan
iels for any alleged unpreparedness
Of the navy" said the admiral.
Did you feel that the sentiment of
the people you refer to was such as
to prevent the navy making plans
for WARP" asked Chairman Hale.
"The navy did have plans" was
the reply. They were not complete
and are not complete in some re-
spects today. We knew if we did
enter the war we would have to con-
form our operations to the general
plans of the other allies and we had
no knowledge of their plans until
after we declared WAL"

ONE MAN SLAIN.
TWO WOUNDED.
BY REVENUE MEN

A sanguinary battle between fed
in a Florida swamp and the attempt
ed ambushing of two revenue men
near Ellijay, Ga, were reported
Tuesday to D. J. CAN'T, director of
D rohibition enforcement in this dis
trict, making a total of three shoot
ing trays for last week in which all
the casualties were inflicted on al
legged violatorS of the eighteenth

partf that defeated a crew of six al
legged moonshiners in the heart of the
quagmire.
The officers had approached the site
from three directions by wading
through mud and water often neck
deep. Major Williams was sighted by
the alleged offenders before his two
colleagues arrived, and Immediately
became a target for a fusillade OF
bullets. Although it was broad day
light and dense underbrush hamper
ed the officer he escaped with no
more than a bullet hole through his
hat. He returned the fire and when
his companions chimed in the oppo-
sition fled, leaving two of their num-
Der behind, one dead and one badly
wounded.
In Gilmer county, near Ellijay,
Deputy Collector NJ. L. Cox and the
driver of his buggy were waylaid
just after cutting down deserted
still. oBth escaped injury, and dur
ing the exchange of volleys that
ensued after they had leaped from
