that Won Bethmann wanted to make

and that the foreign office believed
that If the United States came In

During the course of the converse

"The war must be shortened by every,

General Ludendorff agreed with this.
and Won Holtzendorff continued:

Another document gives an account
of the conversation between FIELD

Gated whatever goods had been i'm

upon more of the same sort and an In

The false permits were stamped with

as the "Schiebertum," !. e., those en-

publicity literature was sent to them
for posting and distribution, not only
In public buildings, railroad stations,
cities and towns. but also along the
rural mail routes. So thoroughly was
this preliminary campaign work done
that within few days the whole state
Of Tennessee was talking about their
own ship"
Well, they came to the recruiting
miners and backwoodsmen, many Of
whom had never seen salt water nor
stood aboard a ship. For four success

standing low In the list before the
drive, led all the cities Of the country
In the number of naval recruits fur
nished
Recruiting parties carried with them
30 uniforms of assorted sizes. When a
man was signed up he was Immediate
| ly fitted out and shaved, he was as
signed to recruiting duty in his own
home town. Naturally he became Mt
once sort Of paladin. Furthermore,
he was no stranger. Soon he became
more potent parsonage than either
the parson or the sheriff. In many in
stances, Captain Leigh says, such lads,
wearing their splc and span uniforms,
brought into the sub-stations from 10
to IL recruits apiece. More than one
half of all those who enlisted during
the state drive were brought In thus
by newly enlisted men In uniform.
Not long after the campaign began
Captain Leigh made a trip through
the state accompanied by Governor
Roberts speaking In most Of the cit
les and larger towns. He emphasized
not only the navy's opportunities for
education, adventure and sightseeing,
but he stressed always the local idea
Tennessee wants to man this new
est dreadnaught Of Americas victory
fleet with men from her own towns and
countryside"
Later, in January, Governor Roberts,
accompanied by his staff, made another
trip through the state, lasting two
wecks. He made frequent exhorta-
lions from his special train and from
town and city platforms. Captain
Leigh and his colleagues Of the navy
bestow upon the governor a generous
share of the credit for the success.
Following the governors tour re-
cruiting officers with brass bands gave
concerts In the schools and colleges
in different sections Of the state. At
the opening of the drive Commander
Station addressed the Rotary club In
Nashville. Similar organizations In
other cities were addressed by the re-
cruiting officers. who received valuable
aid from the Rotarians.
The 600 Tennesseeans thus enlisted
are an uncommonly fine lot of men.
Many Of them have been experts with
the rife since they cut their second
teeth, SO 1t rs not surprising to learn
that at the ranges large percentage
already have qualified as expert rifle

Not few, moreover, saw service In
the army during the world war in
grades ranging from private to SER
ceant.
or course the state Is very proud Of
It's warship. Usually commonwealth
bestows upon the vessel bearing its
nome handsome silver service in
token of its pride and affection. But
In this respect the Tennessee is going
to establish another precedent She is
to inherit the old service that be-
longed to the armored cruiser Ten
nessee. which Is now a wreck. And
then, too, as one Of the officers Of the
new fighter remarked, there Is not
quite the same utility for punch bowls
and the like aboard ship that there
once was.
But the state was determined to
do something memorable for her pet
craft besides supplying a major part
Of the crew. "We did not care to
have silver statue Of Andrew Jack
son." said Captain Leigh, 'and the
American Library association already
had given to the ship splendid IL
brary of about 5000 volumes. carefully
selected by our chaplain, Lieut.. @. A.
Neyman."
So 1t was decided in conference with
the ships officers that the state should
raise an endowment fund Of about
$50 900, the annual interest from which
should be used to supply entertain
ment. relaxation and ediflcation to off,
GERS and crew by giving them advan-
tages in addition to those provided by
the government.
Among other things there Is to be

be also athletic and educational equip

all directed toward making the Ten

Ira Nelson Morris Tells of Inner
Phase Of Postwar
Commerce. I
ARE GREATLY OvERSTOCKED
Ship Goods Back to United States,
Add Double Cost Of Transpor-
tation and Make Hand
C1 some Profit.

New York.-Ira Nelson Morris, Unit
ed States minister to Sweden who has
returned to the United States for a
vacation, is authority for information
concerning an odd phase of postwar
commerce between this and European
countries; and bearing on the high cost
or necessities here. He pointed out
that after the armistice Denmark had
imported from America In such tremen-
dous volume that the country became
greatly overstocked.
Until within the last three or four
months" Mr.. Morris said Denmark
was shipping back to the United States
the very goods that had been sent from
here to Copenhagen and reselling them
In America at profit after having
added twice the cost of transatlantic
carriage over the original costs.
Lower Freights to Westward.
"One reason why II has been profit
able to reship to the United States the
surplus stores OF goods and materials,
such as cotton originally received from
this country, Is that ships arriving in
Europe laden with American goods
would have had to return with empty
holds. The fact that Europe had not
enough else TO export TO America to
fill outgoing bottoms caused reduc-
ton IN the freight rates to the west.
Danish merchants thus engaged reaped
n harvest even with the rate of ex-
change against them.
Copenhagen, the ambassador said,
Is ambitious to become the great port
of entry for Europe, and to that end
Is seeking to handle permanently the
tonnage that used to go through Brem-
en- and Hamburg. A vast amount of
that business is now done in the Dan
ish port"
Scandinavian countries are keen to
do business with the United States.
said Mr.. Norris, and he added that 1t
was advantageous to them and to US
too.

and look TO America since England

Scandinavian countries" he said pa
