try owes it's initial modern develop
ment to the requirements of the
Navy at time when the speclai
kinds of steel required in naval con-
struction were not produced mere.
Likewise, the Navy has been at. the
front in developing aerial Navigation,
with all of it's possibilities of useful
ness to the civil community. Inc
statement has been made, and l think
effectively supported. that all the
money that has ever been spent on
the Navy has been returned to the
community several times over in di-
rect stimulus. given to industrial de-
velopment. In many departments of
science and investigation the Navy
has taken a leading and highly i'm
portant part. IT has made possible
much of the accomplishment in chart
ing the seas and making them safe
for commerce. 1t has assisted IN
those studies of weather and climate.
of air and sea currents which have
produced results of the utmost prac-
teal value.
Cites World Flight Work.
During the recent flight of the
Army aviators around the world the
cruisers and destroyers of the Navy
patrolled the maritime courses over
which the flyers passed. The great
airship Shenandoah was construct ed
by the Navy. Its success has kept
us fully apace with other nations
in the art. of aero transportation.
That art is yet in it's infancy and,
though We cannot conjecture what
its ultimate developments may be, we
all realize that they are certain to be
of profound usefulness and significance.
THE depths of the oceans have
been sounded, the floors of the seas
have Ueen mapped, by the scientific
specialists of the Navy. 1t is through
such activities as these that the
vast possibilities of the sea as res
ervoir of food and other necessities
of mankind. will ultimately come to
be fully realized and exploited. The
Navy has always taken leading
part and interest in explorations and
in the studies of newly discovered
regions, particularly in the Polar and
Pacific areas. 1t has participated
likewise in the study of astronomical
phenomena. through. which much
valuable data have been added to the
resources of science.
These are merely suggestions of a
few of the services of the Navy to
peace and the arts and sciences of
peace. We may be sure that such
services will continue to be multi
piled in the future. We cannot doubt
that they will continue to justify the
maintenance OF the full naval capacity
to which we have agreed under the
terms of the Washington Conference.
We may be very sure that In the
future as in the past the Nays serv-
ices to industry and the arts of peace
and science will continue completely
to Justify it's maintenance in the
highest efficiency" -.

These statements were made by
Marshal Foch in a special interview

Inability to Control. .
Germany IS disarmed today, but we
cannot effectively control her arma-

and it is that spirit as it was en-
bodied in such men as Frederick the
Great and Bismarck which prevails
throughout the reich at the present

NEW YORK. October 20-Fivc
States having an equal number of Re
public an and Democratic Representa-
tivrs in the House. will be without a
vote if the House is called upon to
elect the next President Charles -.
Hilles vice chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee, declared
yesterday.
The States Mr.. HilIes named were
New Hampshire. New Jersey. Mary
land. Nebraska and Montana. He an
nounced he had plan, however,
whereby it would not be necessary
for them to become disenfranchised in
The matter Of a choice of President in
the House.
Public opinion should be arosed to
prevent an intoIerable situation aris-
ing from the possible failure to elect
a President on November A." he said.
THE sitting members of the House
from the five States should be induced
to declare what course they will pur-
sue.
Wishes of Electorate.
They should agree in advance of
the election to vote for the candidate
for President .in accordance with the
wishes of the electorate in their re-
spcctive States, as those wishes may
find expression a the polls on NoVem
Der 4.
II would welcome and applaud
declaration from the congressman
that they will agree to abide by such
:, result. 1t must not be forgotten in
this discussion that it is the State
which casts the vote and not the in
dividual representative. The latter
are only the agents to record the
voice of the State"
"The Constitution" said Mr.. Hilles.
provides that there shall be no cleo
ton of a candidate by the House
unless that candidate should have the
vote of mapority of the States. AS
there are 4S States the number neces
sary to choice is 25. +
Five Half-nnd-Hnlf States.
Fortunately. there are only five of
these half-and half States in Congress
today. BY subtracting the number
from 4S, without reducing the
minimum Of 25 States required to
effect an election. we may easily de-
feat the purpose of the Constitution"
Mr.. Hilles said it had been sug-
gested that representatives from half
and half States be entitled to cast
fractional votes in order that-their
States might not be considered with
out franchise in the choice Of a
President by the House.
If3this were done," he said. cit is
evident that Coolidge would receive
21s votes and Davis 2h votes from
these five States. But there is no
provision in the Constitution author
izing the splitting Of the vote of a
State and there is no evidence that
the trainers of the Constitution con-
templated any such rule.
There is no. precedent for any such
action by, the House. nor is there any
expressed inhibition against such a
rule s-r - g.. --

Farmers of this section are busiIy en-

scout government prevailed over the
City of Admission throughout the entire
day Saturday. At the city hall early
Saturday morning the executive heads
of the city turned over their offices to
the boys and took day of rest.
Scout Mayor James Moore and his
council held meeting in the council
chamber at 10 o'clock in the morning.
Many important matters were discuss
ed, and it was decided upon to launch
campaign against vagrancy in An
niston. Immediate orders were given
for a large squad of policemen to comb
the streets for. the Migrants, and it is
estimated more than 20 arrests were
made within two hours.
More than five alarm calls were
turned in to. the fire department, and
in each case the alarms proved to be
false. However, this gave the scouts
an opportunity to show the citizens how
they could handle the apparatus and
how quickly they could respond to the
calls. ~. st2>5
