personal views. On May i, 1917, I
cabled as follows:
British Admiralty has decided to
give trial to the convoy scheme de-
scribed in my last dispatch. It
will strain British resources Of per-
sonnel and ships to the limit and we
must assist by taking one route, at
least, if the plan is TO be carried out.
/. very urgently recommend IA
vorable action"
This message was not answered
The United States Naval Attacha
cabled on May 25, urging that the Ad-
miralty be given decision. There was
no answer to his cable either. On May
81 l cabled' again, saying: "The depart
ment's cooperation with the plan set
forth in my dispatch Of May is
urgently recommended. Early reply
important in order that Admiralty
plans may bo governed accordingly"
On June IA, Is and IL ! cabled again.
Still no answer came until June Is, and
that answer read:
Regarding conveys consider that
American vessels with armed guards ON
board are safer when sailing inde-
pendently."
On July 8, 1917, received message
containing this brilliant passage:
About 1000 troops will be
dispatched in each ship. Do you think
that they should sai1 in company or
singlyf'
Thus, three months after the British
had decided to strain their resources
to the breaking point to provide escorts
for merchant ships, our Navy Depart
ment under Mr.. Daniels, who poses as
the champion Of the convoy, could
question the convoy as applied to troop
ships. The British had conveyed troop
ships from the very beginning Of the
war!
On July 9, 1917, I wrote long and
detailed letter, explaining the necessity
for the convoy system. It was on July
%, 1917, that received this cable:
"Your letter No. II. Rules for con-
voy therein will govern"
Therefore, from the above docu-
mentary evidence 1t may be judged how
much truth there Is In the following
statement by Mr.. Daniels:
Neither before war was declared
nor during the war did I hesitate 60
adopt and carry out any policy
that promised protection"
Mr.. Daniels cannot very we'll claim
that the convoy policy did not promise
protection, for on October IL, 1917, Ad-
miral Mayo reported officially to the
Navy Department: "The loss Of vessels
in convoy to the loss Of vessels not in
convoy is at present to 90"
Between April II, 1917. and July 90,
1917, Mr.. Daniels must assume re-
sponsibility for the greater losses that
continued until he could be persuaded
that the convoy system was essential
to victory.

Legislation OF Interest
To Our Readers

Senator Wiley Williams has intro
duced bill to annex Irwin county to
the Cordele Judicial Circuit, taking it
out of the Tiff Circuit. This bill was
passed last year by both houses of the
legislature but was vetoed by Gov.
Hardwick, as it would have left Triton
circuit with only two counties. We are
informed that Colquitt County is to
be added to the Tiff Circuit his year,
which may give Senator Williams
measure chance to become law.
A bill introduced in the Senate to
abolish the State market Bureau and
apply its 100000 appropriation on the
purchase of free text books has the
support of strong element in the
legislature.
