Philadelphia, June 13-Prohibition
"wet" and "dry" at class in "Vol-
steadism" being conducted in the off
ice of John w. Davis, director Of pro-
hibition in Pennsylvania.
Director Davis school is for the
purpose of instructing his agents in
the rudiments of obtaining evidence
against the violators of the prohibi-
ton law.
Explaining the two groups OF
agents are divided into two classes
agents, Director Davis said:
eve have agents of our force who
never drank. Again we have others
who do drink. The latter are eseen-
tial to the department to obtain evi.
dence.
agents who never drank are NOT
compelled to drink while in the SER
vice. And there is where the wet
agent comes into his own. By send.
ing out teams of wet and dry en-
forcers, the agent who drinks can buy
the liquor and the dry men can wit
ness the sale, thereby furnishing the
corroborative evidence required by the
government to constitute an illegal
sale of liquor"

Cites Example of Boston
Police Force During
Big Strike
TALKS TO WEST POINT
Restraining Force Is as
Necessary Now as 1t
Ever Was
By Associated Press)

West Point, n. Y, June l3.-As-
sertions that tn eUnited States does
not need an army were met by Sec
retary Weeks of the war department
in an address at the graduating ex-
ercises of the United States Military
academy today with the statement
that "the civilization of the world
rests on no surer foundation than
did the civilization of Boston" at !Le
time of the police strike nearly
three years ago.
"If it were not for the restraining
force fo the military establishments
of the nations Of the world" he de-
clared, "an indescribable state of
chaos would result and civilization
would be rapidly exterminated
through self destruction.
To say that the United States
does not need an army, he added, is
Just as reasonable as to say that
" Boston, Chicago and our other
large cities do not need police
force"
The question of the size of the
army, he declared, would always be
a matter of controversy, especially as
after a great war there is "an alarm
ing tendency for the overburdened
taxpayer to forget the lessons of the
past and cancel his insurance, trust
ing to luck for at least few years
without the national protection
which those more familiar with mil
itary matters and requirements deem
necessary. But there is no question,
he added, or difference of opinion as
to its quality.
"If it does not consist of more than
a thousand men," he continued, "it
shouldb an ramy of the best pos
.sible thousand men which can be de-
veloped. But you cannot have the
best army. or even good army, how
ever sound the individual elements
which compose tmay be, unless it
is efficiently commanded"

CAPITAL REMOVAL
OR DIVISION Of
STATE QUESTION
South Florida Stands for
Division as the Easiest
Way
DIRECTORS ARE SPLIT
May Leave Entire Matter
Up to the State Con
VentlOn

That a division of the state is pre-
ferable to capital removal was the al
most unanimous sentiment expressed
at the meeting today of members OF
the executive committee of the Capt.
tai Removal Association in session
here today. Twelve of the seventeen
directors were present. They were:
George H. Wilder, Plant City, presi-
dent; J, w. Hart, Palatka, secretary;
w. B. Dobson, of Brevard county, j..
J. Parrish, Brevard, Frederick Van
Roy, Citrus, 7. M. Shackleford, Hills
borough, J. H. Humphries, of Mana
tee, W. T. Gary, of Marion, R. F. Ma
guire, of Orange, DIR. J. V. Sutton Of
Osceola F. A. Pettibone, of Palm
Beach, George R.. Hilty, Jutnam and
J. H. Lord, of Sarasota.
The morning session began at 1880
and adjourned at 1890 after rather
heated discussion as to the next move
to be made by the organization, which
followed the transaction of routine
business. J. W. Hart was elected per-
manent secretary.
The debate started when 7. M.
Shackleford, of Tampa, offered a res
olution that a convention of the as
sociation be called at an early date
at some place to be determined by the
board for the purpose of sounding out
sentiment of the people as to whether
they preferred capital removal or
state division. There was no second
to the motion, those present taking
the position that the motion was out
of order, that the organization was
formed for the purpose of seeking
capital removal, and for no other pur-
pose.
Mr.. Shackleford spoke at some
length on why he thought that capl-
tai removal is out of the question, and
why state division can be more easily
secured. He said that sentiment in
south Florida is almost solid for state
division, but that there seems to be
general apathy at capital removal, as
evidenced by the meeting today, and
even Palatka people did not seem to
be interested, as there wasn't single
citizen present, except those on the
committee.
DR.. Sutton, of Kissimmee, said,
frankly that he believed his people
very much interested in state dlvl-
sion but cared nothing for capital re-
moval Mr.. Pettibone, Of Palm Beach
and Mr.. Mcguire, cf Orange took the
same view. But all agreed that while
there might be preponderance of sen
timent for state division that the
board had no right to switch the or
ganization off on to that issue.
The debate was still in progress
when Adjournment was taken for lun-
cheon.

From the messages of the foreign
leaders, the convention delegates ex-
pected to learn policies, practiced
abroad, that might be applied in this
country, and also be informed of the
labor movement abroad, especially in
the aspects applicable to both Amer
lean and European labor.

tion as delegates, chiefs of the rail
unions that are about to take a strike
vote plan a series of meetings this
week to consider various questions
before beginning a canvas of the
