PROHIBITION NAVY"
NOW Being FORMED
Fleet of Swift Sub. Chasers to
Scout for Rum. Runners
in the Atlantic

Washington, ID. C.-The prohibition
navy" Will be ready shortly for oper-
alton in Atlantic coastal waters in
search of liquor smugglers, it was de-
clared at enforcement headquarters.
Arrangements have been completed,
officials said, whereby the prohibition
bureau is to have the use of subma-
rine chasers not now being used by
the coast guard. Nine of these little
craft, former navy terriers, are said
to be Immediately available for trans
fer to dry law commanders
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
declined TO divulge his plans for meet
ing in their own element the swarms
of rum-runners said to infest the At
lantic coast lest valuable information
reach the ears Of willy liquor skip
pers.
1t was learned, however, that pro
hibition authorities contemplate
screen of swift ships operating from
Maine to Florida and in the Gulf OF
Mexico to prevent the landing of il
licit alcohol. Sub-chasers to form the
prohibition fleet, officials said, are be-
ing loaned by the coast guard, as it
is unable to commission them for
this service because of lack OF funds
and trained personnel
The ships are 110-footers and are
now scattered at the various coast
guard stations, but the prohibition
authorities plan to centralize their
activities, probably basing the main
feet at New York with a strong
squadron on duty in Florida waters.
While the coast guard will retain
the title to the submarine chasers, the
prohibition bureau will bear the ex-
pense of their operation Enforce
ment agents will be on board each
boat
Whether the ships will fly a special
prohibition flag while on their new
service has not been decided but
Commissioner Haynes has several
more or less appropriate suggestions
for a design for an emblem

FIVE KILLED IN
SOUTHERN STORM
Tornado Wreaks Much Havoc
in Villages Near Georgia
and Carolina Lines
MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED
Heaviest Fall of Rain for Twenty
three Years - Rivers Overflow
Banks-Fire House is Blown
One Hundred Yards.

Augusta, Ga. - Five persons were
killed in tornado which ravaged mill
villages near here in Georgia and
South Carolina. The storm conferred,
according to reports received here, at
Warrenville, S. c.. where, in addition
to the five persons killed, a number
were injured.
The nearby Carolina towns of Lang
ley and Graniteville reported no cas-
ualties, but accounts of extensive
damage from all three places brought
out numerous instances OF hair
breadth escapes. In Warrenville, where
20 houses in the southeastern section
Of the village were demolished, the
homeless uninjured Immediately set
about the work of rescue, guided
through the binding rain in the dark
ness by cries for help. Many said
they had been awakened by the rumb-
ling Of the storm and the trembling
of their homes just in time to escape.
Clothing, furniture and wreckage
generally were scattered over the
ground and in tree tops by the wind,
which, with whimsical generosity, left
a large mirror, without a crack, under
the debris of a house and moved a
small corrugated iron fire house 100
yards without disturbing the leaves
of huge oak tree which sheltered it.
The small hand reel in the center OF
the building also remained undisturb-
ed.
Wilson, n. c. One person was
killed, 10 more or less badly hurt,
some of them seriously, and property
damage estimated at from $4,000 to
S5O,O00 was the toll OF a windstorm
which swept through the Evansdale
section.

in Macon since the weather bureau

Ocmulgee river was out of it's banks

rivers. The rainfall for II hours was

Political Character of MEETING
Is the Reason Given For
Not Attending
NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENTS
Hughes Says Hope of Revival Is Fu-
tile Without the Establishment
of Essential Bases of Pro-
duction" In Russia.

Washington, ID. c. The American
government has declined the invita-
ton to participate in the Information
al Economic Conference to be held at
Genoa next month, on the ground that
the conference is not primarily an
economic one, but is rather a confer
ence of political character in which
the government OF the United States
could not helpfully participate"
The refusal to enter the conference
was contained in note from Secre-
tary Hughes to Ambassador Ricco of
Italy, who had presented the invita-
tion on behalf of his government,
which in turn was acting for the al
lied ambassadors. Ambassador Ricco
Immediately communicated the text
OF the note to his government
The note stated that while the
American people were desirous of
suitably assisting in the recovery of
the economic life of Europe the
United States government could not
be unmindful of the clear conviction"
OF the people that they should not
unnecessarily become involved in
European political questions"
The conviction was also expressed
that all considerations of economic
| revival would be futile without the
establishment in Russia of the essen
| tial bases of production outlined in
the public declaration of the Ameri-
can government on March 25, 1921,
and urged that adequate action" to
that end be taken on the part of
those chiefly responsible for Russias
present economic disorders"
In that connection it also was point
ed out in the note that the American
government believes nothing should
be done looking to the obtaining of
economic advantages in Russia which
would impair the just opportunities
OF others" and warning was issued
that fair and equal economic oppor-
tunity'' in Russia was expected by the
United States in the interest of Rus
sia itself as well as that of all the
powers.
