Washington, Oct. 25.-Declaring a wholly wrong impression" of import ant historical facts had been give in one of the recently published letters of Franklin K Lane. secretary of the in- terior under President Wilson, Josephus Daniels, who sat in the Wilson cabinet as secretary of the navy. telegraphed The Associated Press tonight a story of the events which he said had led up to the adoption of the convoy system of protecting American ships early in 1911.
 Mir Daniels message. sent from High Point, N. C.. made particular reference to statement in one of the Lane let ters saying that a cabinet meeting on February 25, 1917. Daniels said we must not convoy--that it would be danger ous.' The letter also attributed to Pres ident Wilson a suggestion that this country was not willing that we should take any risks of war"
 Fortunately, I kept a diary in those days" said Mir. Daniels. Here is ex- actly what happened at that cabinet meeting in February. before we had en- tered the war: President Wilson turned to me and asked: Daniels. why have ! the British not conveyed their shipsT
 Tn reply I informed him that ths policy of the British admiralty wa, against the convoy. that after long ex perience in the war the merchant cap tains preferred to take their chance: sailing singly than in convoy formation and that they regarded 1t more dangerou in U-boat zones to sail in company un der convoy than for each merchant shil to go on its own. added that some c our naval officers of high rank held thi same view. That was the only use
 made of the word dangerous.

10 DELAY ENFORCEMENT
 OF DRY SHIP RULING

Washington, Oct. 25.-(By the A. P.) Enforcement of the national prohibition law with respect to foreign shipping within American territorial waters will await a final interpretation of that sec ton of the stateufe by the supreme court it was indicated today by administra- ton officials. This interpretation is ex- pected by government officers late next month or in December.
 Decision of the executive department to withhold enforcement of the law as construed by Attorney General Daugher- ty, in his opinion of October was form ally communicated today to Associate Judge Brandeis, of the supreme cout who subsequently, refused to grant var ious steamship lines stay against the enforcement of Federal Judge Hands de- cision at New York dismissing their ap- plication for permanent injunction de straining federal agents from applying the olstead act
 Justice Brandeis was understood tc have agreed with counsel for the gov ernment and the steamship lines tha | the decision to withhold enforcement hat removed any necessity for a legal sta! through writ of supercedes which hat been requested by the lines and acquiesc I ed in by the department of justice.

Drop in Foreign
 Exchange Rates
Lowest Prices of the Year fog French, Belgian and Italian Currencies.

New York, Oct. 25.-French. Belgian and Italian exchange rates dropped to their lowest rrices of the. year today on heavy selling of those renittances in the foreign and local markets. French francs dropped Is 1-2 points to '6g1 cents; Belgian francs yielded 14 points to 6.S5 cents, and Italian lire sold off 1-2 points to 3.99 1-2 cents.
 The par value of each of the allied continental currencies is 19.3 cents.
 Several reasons were assigned for the further depreciation of continental ex- change. Speculative selling has been in- fiuenced by the huge French government deficit and the latest developments in the German econbnic crisis which has given rise to reports of a possible de- fault in reparations payments Cable despatchee today reported that the British were buying dollars to pay the | interest on their debt to the United States with French currency, which also would have a tendency to depress the l Paris rate.
 Local bankers also reported that con- tinental orders for purchases Nin thdr country were received in heavy volume | during the day.
 German marks lowered slightly above
 their low record to date. Is cents a hundred.

those Amcrlcan naval rl..cers u.lu aCreec with them were also wrong. and thai the British ought long ago to have con- voyed their ships. A few weeks later. I think 1t was the last day of March. 1917, or about that date, when, before the United States entered the war. in giving Admiral Sims instructions I told him that President Wilson had long believed that the allies ought 10 use Inc convoy and did not agree with our own naval officers who took the same posi- tion that the British admiralty and the other allies had practiced. Shortly after his arrival in London Admiral Sims presented President Wilson's views on the convoy to Admiral Jelllco and a short time thereafter the convoy system wac put in practice with good results.
 Our navy placed guns on mer- chant ships before the United States en- tered the war. The navy also furnished gunners crew for such ships. 1t was dangerous and the hardest sort of ser vice.

 While it was true, Mfr Mott said, that Mrs. Gibson. farmer and pig raiser, had signed a statement today that document did not contain anything she had not already told the authorities, and he could see no need at present for an immediate arrest. He declared. however, that he was ready to order one or several ar. rests without waiting for grand jury ac. tion if circumstances made haste advisa. ble.

 And what is within her capacity" he added, "she should pay.

 'I am in favor" he declared, "of making every reasonable concession in order to induce the U. S. to associate it. self with that great body if it can be accomplished.

BRIDGEPORT SUICIDE WAS
 DISCIPLE OF KARL MARX

New York, Oct. 25.-Relatives of Louis Powell, who committed suicide in a hotel room in Bridgeport, Conn, last night believed today that the act was due largely to a conviction of the futil- ity of trying to aid his fellow workers through the establishment of political re- forms.
 Powell who was born in Hopdan a suburb of Budapest, had long been a serious student of sociology and dis ciple of Karl Marx. He was a member of various socialist lodges and had spent great deal of life time, when not at the workshop, in discussions of present day economic conditions.
 Several weeks ago, his relatives say, ne broke off his engagement to a cousin, Helen to whom he wrote a letter before committing suicide saving 'Economic conditions are against us. Forgive me please"
