PROHIBITION navy
SOMEWHERE AT SEA
Maneuver Under Sealed Or.
ders for Attack on Rum
SmuggIers.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
First units of the new prohibition
navy are in actual operation some
where along the Atlantic coast. it
was learned yesterday on high OFF,
cial authority.
Officials continue to withhold plans
for the sea attack on rum smugglers
by the submarine chasers operated by
the prohibition bureau, but it was
declared that several vessels are now
on duty in Florida waters, and that
others were cruising farther north.
Officials indicated that as rapidly
as additional subchasers obtained
from the coast guard can be put into
commission they will slip out to sea
under sealed orders to join in the
proposed rum patrol along the At
lantic coast line.
Lieut.. r. L Jack of the coast guard,
the admiral" of the prohibition fleet,
is to have direct charge of the op-
Grafton OF his miniature warships. it
was stated officially, but he will
function under E. c. Yellowley, chief
of general prohibition agents. who
will bear somewhat the same rela-
ton Of the prohibition navy that the
partment does to the country's sea
forces.
Commissioner Haynes, it was un-
derstood. was waiting until the new
prohibition enforcement arm was in
full swing before making any state
ment, in order to avoid the possibil-
ity of information reaching the ears
of the liquor-laden enemy.
Two plans are being considered by
the Treasury for extending the
sphere of operation OF the prohibi-
tion fleet beyond the three-mile limit.
It is proposed. according to high
officials, either to make the prohibf-
ton agents aboard the subchasers
special customs agents or to
assign regular customs agents aboard
each of the prohibition ships.
Secretary Mellon, It was thought,
would probably favor the latter
method and authorize the customs di-
vision to designate a man for duty
aboard each of the rum chasers.
Without customs authority, officials
explained, the prohibition fleet could
not operate outside the three-mile
limit. Customs agents, however, are
empowered to board ships bound for
this country as far as twelve miles
at sea. :

The report of the special committee

Making due allowance for the sit

of the state and it's easy accessibility

absolute divorce, "yet the number of
divorces steadily increasing, in the
last two years. is utterly astounding.
Same Law for Years.
Practically the same law relating
to divorces has existed in Virginia
for years. 1t was the duty of the
judge of the court to see that DEGREES
of divorce were based on sufficient
evidence. and that the one years DOM

His attention was specially called

New Note Declares America
Will Not Be Deferred
From Pressing Claim.
QUESTION OF A DEFICIT
NOT TO AFFECT STAND
Supplemental Document Forestalls
Paris Suggestion of Error in
Our Calculation.

The American government has sent
to the allied powers another note
supplemental to that recently dis
patched and designed to support it's
claim for equality with those powers
in the payment of costs arising from
the Rhineland occupation.
The new note, copies of which were
presented yesterday to the British.
French. Italian, Belgian and Japanese
governments by American diplomatic
officials in the capitals Of those ma
tions. declared that whether or not
there should be deficit in the French
account for it's occupation army costs
as of May /. 1921, the claim for
equality on the part Of the United
States would not thereby be affected.
Plain II Not Diplomatic.
The American government in its
supplemental note, in words char
acterized by one official as plain II
not diplomatic notified the allied gov
ernments that no juggling Of book
keeping as regards the Rhineland oc-
cupation costs will deter the United
States from pressing what it con-
siders just claim.
High State Department officials, in
making public the new note. ex-
planned that the original identic
notes delivered to the five allied pow
ers early last week stated that ac-
cording to information and accounts
in possession Of the American govern
ment it appeared that the amount due
to France for it's occupation army
costs TO May l had been paid in full,
as had costs Of the armies of Bel
gium and Italy. Recent dispatches
from France, it was said, had in
timated that the American govern
ment made a mistake in saying that
France had been paid in full, and the
supplemental note delivered yester-
day was designed to forestal any
such suggestions.
Text OF New Notes.
The text of the supplementary
notes follows:
government of the United States
stated that according to the infor-
nation and accounts in the posses
sion of the allied governments, It
appeared that the amount due to
France for its army costs to May
], 1921, had been paid in full, chiefly
through deliveries Of property.
The government of the United
States is now informed that it is pro-
posed to postpone the debit to
France for the value of the Saar
mines as though delivery were made
in kind during the year 1922. This
government does not deem it to be
necessary at this time to enter into
questions relating to debts or
credits in the account or to consider
the effect Of the postponement of the
debit for the value of the Saar mines,
and all questions of this character
are fully reserved.
ut is deemed to be sufficient to
say that it is the view Of the gov
ernment of the United States that
the question whether or not there
would be a deficit in the French
account for army costs as Of May /,
1921, upon a final agreed statement
of that account Is a matter which
does not affect the position of this
government with respect to it's
right to receive the payment of the
actual cost of it's army of occupation
upon an equal footing with the allied
powers"
