THE USE OF SUBMARINE,

The reduction of the number of
submarines and auxiliary craft as a
part oI .ne ulaelr.iaLuenL proposals
seems to be making more trouble
than the reduction of the larger YES
sells Of warfare. This is a very i'm
portant question, and probably more
important than the proportionate re-
ductlon of the larger vessels, for the
reason the submarine is more de-
structlve and we may expect greater
improvements in this line of offense
and defense as the years roll on. In
Tact the sea plane and the s.,
rine on sea and the air plane On land
may be expected to play the largest
part in future wars, since the chem
lists of the world are able to make
explosives which if droppe.l on cities
and vessels will bring about their
destruction.
Again the fact that air planes and
submarines can be built at confpar.,-
lively small cost is another reason
they will be more plentiful. since all
nations with sea coast to defend. and
am billions to extend their territory
and commerce to satisfy, may D. eA-
pected to add number to their list
of fighting craft. For this reason
another conference should De held
within reasonable length Of time,
after the present convention to
which should be invited all rations
who are most likely to be interested
in submarines and aircraft.
1t has seemed to US that the pres
>ent conference has not beea suffi-
-c1ently representative of the 1a.ions
OF the world, and the impression =
been left that the great powers ha
treated the smaller nations with lack
of consideration in arriving at the
size of ornaments. This is calcu-
lated to cause the smaller nations
that have sea coasts to defend te
feel that the great powers think thai
they are too small for consideration
The submarine, the most danger
Gus of craft should be eliminated al
together if possible, but we hardly
see how that can be done unless {
greater number of nations are invit
ed to the conference than to the one
now in session.
We can understand why the pres
ent administration should have made
the conference as unrepresentativs
to all nations had been extended i
would have had the appearance o
another league of nations conference
and this would never do according
to the Republican way of thinking.

DIR. J. ERNEST THACKER.

The following testimonies of the re-
suit Of Thacker's meetings elsewhere
were clipped by Rev. Mr.. Flanagan
from the Christian Observer, a reli-
gious newspaper published in Louis
vile, Ky.
Charlotte, N. c., First Church
DR.. Albert S. Johnson, pastor.-Dr.
J. Ernest Thacker, the evangelist of
the General Assembly, closed a two
weeks meeting in this church, Sun
day, October 18th. Rarely have the
people of Charlotte heard such a Sc
ries of sermons, two daily. DR..
Thacker is in every sense of the word
sane evangelist. He is clear cut in
thought, eloquent in speech, and
earnest in delivery. His remarkable
memory enables him to weave Scrip
ture into nearly every sense, so that
each sentence becomes, like the Word
of God, "quick and powerful" His
enunciation is clear, with none of
that cadence at the end of a sentence
that makes it meaningless
His singer, Mr.. Roddy, is also an
exception to the average evangelistic
singer. He failed to give humorous
jokes before each song, and he really
inspired his audience with spiritual
yearning for the truth.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

TIL Times wishes each and every
reader a happy and prosperous New
Year, and desires to express the hope
that our troubles are behind us and
that the Improvement that has started
will continue and be multiplied dur
ing 1922. This year has been grad
ual improvement over 1920 when
the industries of America were hard
hit. and the products of field and
factory sustained severe declines.
There is every reason to believe that
we are on the upgrade, and all we
have to do is to smile, hustle and
forget the worries of the past.

IN NEED OF FUNDS

IN NLLD oF fO MIS-
Chicago, Dec. 3o.-Julius Rosen-
wald, President of Sears-Roebuck q
Co., the big Chicago mail order house
pledged approximately $4,000, 900
of his personal fortune yesterday to
see the company through the period
of business depression and readjust-
ment.
Mr.. ROsenwald purchased certain
of the company's Chicago real estate
for $16,000,0OO, making first pay
ment of $4,0OO,O0O in cash and Lib
erty bonds, and making a trust deed
without personal liability for the bal
ance of the purchase price.
In addition, Mr.. Rosenwald made
gift to the company OF 10000
shares of its common stock Il
a par value of $5.OOO,OOO. 1t is stip-
ulated that this stock is ne
sold for less than par and that Mr.
Rosenwall shall have an option of
three years to repurchase the stock
for cash at par.
The purchase of the property pro-
vides that the company may contin-
ue to occupy it under a long term
lease. Both the lease and the de-
ferred payment of $12,OOO,OOO,
which Mr.. Rosenwald is to make,
run on z per cent annual interest
basis. In effect, this means that,
aside from the payment of interest
on $4,0O0,O0O the company will be
enabled to use the property with
out charge.
The gift of $4,000 shares of COM
mon stock made by Mr.. Rosenwald
from his personal holdings at 60
represents a market value of about
$3,0OO,00O, but if the company later
disposes Of the stock at par or Mr..
Rosenwall exercises his option it will
represent a donation of $5,OOO,OO0.
In any event, the gift will enable r1e
company to reduce its capital liabil-
tiles by $5,0OO,O0O, while Mr.. Rosen-
wald's initial payment on the prop
erty purchase will increase the COM
pany's cash assets by $4,OOO,OOO.
The larger effect OF Mr.. Rosen-
wald's action will be that Sears,
Roebuck & Company will be enabled
to work out its financial readjust-
ment without impairing it's capital
stock. 1t will be able to write off
ing down the stock holdings of it's
stockholders, many of whom are en-
| ployes. 1t also is expected to bring
appreciably nearer the time when
the company will be able to resume
the payment of dividends on the
common stock, which were discon-
tinued early this year.
''The price which Mr.. Rcsenwald
paid for the property reflects the
value as determined by an independ-
ent appraisal which, by reason of ap-
probation over many years, is far II
cess of book value.' A. H. Doeb, vice
president of Sears, Roebuck G Co.,
said tonight. Ono expense in the
transaction was incurred by the
company for bonus commission .r
| brokerage. The company will of
course, have the use and occupancy
of the property for twenty years,
and no doubt for as much longer as
it may desire.
According to a forecast Of the
final 1921 figures, it is evident the
year now ending will result in a
large net loss, but by reason Of Mr..
Rosenwald's purchase of the prop
erty and gift of stock the company
is enabled to go through this period
of readjustment with it's capital un-
impaired and with small surplus
The company is now operating at a
profit, it's condition is daily improv-
| ing, and hte outlook is decidedly
promising"

STEPHEN H. LONG
STABBED TO DEATH
Died Within an Hour After Wound Was Inflicted.
John A. Pilchard Accused of Committing
Deed i'm Defense of Brother

Last Tuesday evening about six
o'clock John Pilchard of Holly Swamp
killed Stephen H. Long, Superintend-
ent of Colored Schools of Worcester
County, while Long was in an alter
cation with his brother, William Pill
chard, in Pocomoke City.
According to the best information
obtainable John A. Pilchard and his
brother, William, went to Pocomoke
City from their farms, about seven
miles distant, driving a horse and
carriage. After tranSacting several
matters of business in town, they
drove to the bicycle shop Of Noah
Gunby, negro. John a. Pilchard left
the carriage, and went into the BIZ
cycle shop to transact some business,
leaving his brother, William, outside.
Pistol Shots Fired
While John A. Pilchard was still
in the store, it is reported that some
pistol shots were fired by some un-
known person in the rear of the
store, and that soon thereafter Long
came along the street on his way to
his home. 1t is said that he was
accused by William Pilchard of Car
rying a gun"
This charge was denied by Long and
it is said an argument with Pilchard
took place, whereupon William Pilch-
ard is alleged to have attacked Long.
The two, it is said, were clinched in a
struggle when John A. Pilchard came
out of the shop. 1t is reported that
he Immediately drew his pocketknife
and rushed into the struggle, stab

Four Weeks Without Rain
Prove Disastrous To Shore

tree and counties in Delaware.
While the western part of the State
has had a fair amount of rain during
August and September, the Eastern
Shore and Delaware have been having
particularly dry period for more
than forty days, according to the re-
ports. The average rainfall for the
State during August was more than
four inches, while on the Shore it was
less than two inches. The big rain
Of several days ago. which broke
records for this section for early
September, failed to cross the bay.
Director Spencer, of the Baltimore
Weather Bureau, ascribes this condi-
tion to the fact that all during the
summer there has not been pro-
tracted rain-storm. Such rains as
fell were more or less local in nature,
he says. These storms, he said, for
some reason as yet unexplained, have
failed to cross the Chesapeake.
