PROPOSES TRAINING
IN QUIET WATERS
Capt. Shackford Thinks
Crews of New Ships Would
Profit in Drilling.

Better results in the training of
the crews of new ships would be OBJ
tanned by sending them to some quiet
waters, such as the Chesapeake Bay.
according to a report received at the
Navy Department from Capt. Chaun-
cey Shackford, commanding one of the
new light cruisers, which the United
States is putting in service. The
Marblehead has just returned from
long foreign cruise, and now is un-
dergoing her final acceptance trials.
While exercises and drills have been
carried out on the shakedown cruise,
nevertheless, owing to the fact that
she ship was in foreign ports, 1t was
necessary to allow much time for
sightseeing parties by members of
the crew. Such would not be neces-
sary, it is suggested, IL ships were
sent into a place like the Chesapeake
Bay, where the vessel would be away
from the lure of liberty, and the crews
could be kept necessarily at boat
drills, gun drills, and other necessary
and highly important drills necessary
10 make a new man ofwar efficient.
Foreign Cruise Later. .-----.-- -
Although he says that foreign
cruises such as his ship has just COM
pleted are splendid things in many
ways for the training of officers and
men in the required ceremonies and
etiquette for the ports and OF high
officials, he believes that this could
be better done after ship has been
In commission and properly drilled.
Favorable action on the part of the
Navy Department of these recon-
mendations of Capt. Shackford, it is
pointed out, would make the Chesa-
peake Bay a rendezvous fer the new
ships of the Navy and incidentally
there would be d possibility that to-
ward the end of this training period
they could be sent up the Potomac
River to Washington to give the crew
an opportunity for Well-earned lib
erty, but also make it possible for
the thousands of visitors constantly
In Washington to get a first glimpse
of the new Navy as it is now build
ing. There are even many places in
the quiet Potomac where ships could
be anchored while undergoing this
training shake-down period.
Two Sides to Question.
OF course. from the point of view of
the naval officers directing the-opera-
tions of ships. there are two sides
to the matter. The other is that of
giving the vessel, and particularly.
those OF new types or classes such as
these cruisers are, stiff machinery
tet at ca and to determine accurately,
their radius of action as measured in
the fuel consumption, etc. 1t is ques-
tion with the officials as 10 which Is
the more important, the actual train
ing of the crew as fighting unit, or
a real test of the machinery before
final acceptance to see how 1T might
be expected to stand up under actual
service conditions
SO far. however, the decision seems

ENTHUSIASTIC ALACRITY
OF SWORN OFFICIALS
(Belleville ws-Dem.)

ProhibitionistS who are striving
to smother any effort 10 amend the
Nolstead prohibition act need ex-
peet to get little aid and comfort
from heads of the city administra-
ton in Belleville. On Friday
representative of the Rational
America League called at the City
Hall and received an enthusiastic
reception when he distributed peti-
tons calling upon congress to mod
ify the dry law, which is the aim of
his organization.
Mayor Anton, Chief of Police
Arbogast, Police Magistrate Wag-
ner, all aldermen and all policemen
and other officials who happened to
be about signed the petition with
alacrity. Not that the legalization
OF the sale of beer and light wine
would make much difference in
conditions in Belleville, as far as
the city administration is concern
ed, for it is its policy to ignore
state and national prohibition acts,
but merely for the principle of the
thing.
Needless to say, the city of Belle
vile has Won no silver cups for SUI
perior achievements in IT,? field of
prohibition enforcement.

NEW TEETH IN IOWA DRY
LAW
(Rockford Reg. -Gazette)

Iowa's legislature is in a prohibi-'
ton enforcement mood. The SEN
ate has just passed five bone-dry
enforcement bills, four without a
dissenting vote. The fifth, which
obtained bare constitutional ma
jority, prohibits suspension of sem
fences in liquor cases. Judges OBJ
ject strongly to this act.
The five bills limit the discre-
tionary power of judges, place the
burden of proof of innocence of liq-
uor law violation on the arrested
offender and require reports to the
county auditor of liquor shipments
received by manufacturers holding
permits to make hair tonic, proprie-
tary medicine and all like prepara-
tons. One bill takes away the
right from judges to impose fine
for bootlegging without imposing
Jail sentence.

PROHIBITION DOES PROHIBIT
ACCORDING TOLOCAL SURVEY

Quincy Daily Herald)


Police Patrolman Frank A. Ernst is
confined to his home, 1876 North Ninth
street, afflicted with nAammatory rheu-
matism, and has been off duty. Patrol
man William Muldoon is OH duty alone
on Maine street in the meantime.
SO far as business is concerned at night
Maine street in the business section might
as well be called Main street Does pro-
hibition prohibit? Let an o1d-timer walk
along the street between Fourth and
Eightll-between Front and Eighth for
the matter of that--and recall the pre-
Volstead days as he walks.
In days of old there were seldom or
never less than thirteen or fourteen sa-
looms where choicest wines and liquors
and malt beverages and cigars" were
openly dispensed in these eight blocks.
Now there is only one soft drink place
and it at the extreme east end.
Hampshire street within the same linz
its is as arid as Maine street, or nearly so.
On this street only two places openly
proclaimed a saloon for the sale of non
intoxicants, and one of them is merely an
adjunct to billiard and pool room and
is kept by colored man who is observing
the law and has never been molcsted by
prohibition law enforcement officers, nor
under the present management has the
other been. Between Maine and Hamp-
shire on Fourth, Fifth and Sixth, where
in pre-prohibition times seven or eight
dranl-shops hourished, there is not one
in which anything stronger than soda
pop can be obtained.
Between Front and Eighth and Hamp-
shire and Maine and cross streets there
were in the licensed saloon days some
thirty dram shops. In the same district
today thirsty individual with his parched
tongue playing tag with his neck could
walk up and down day or night and not
find single life-saving station

the ievee in these Sahara days there are
only two or three dives that are open to
suspicion of being GASES. And down
there the would-be customer has to be
we'll known before being given the privi-
lege of poisoning himself.

Raps Agreement
Reached in Coal
Situation in Britain

London, Aug. 1-(AP)-"A sue
cessful holdup of the community
and milking the taxpayer" are
phases which Former Premier Lloyd
George today applied to the truce
between coal miners and mine own
ers, the governments part in which
has brought the ministry more blame
than praise.
Premier Baldwin's critics accuse
him of having submitted to coercion
not only from the miners and the
trades union congress, but also from
the mine owners. 1t is alleged that
Winston Churchill, chancellor of the
exchequer. in seeking to protect the
taxpayer, tried to get the mine own
ers to agree to profit of fourpence
a ton, but after long and stubborn
fight he eventually had to concede
them profit of Is pence a ton.
The governments critics also con-
tend that the terms of the truce will
add to the cost of coal to, the tax
payer. Mr.. Lloyd George today put
forth the argument that it would be
impossible to limit the governments
liability under the subvention plan
or to prevent the extension of this
plan to other suffering industries.

A Bit IRREGULAR

New York, Aug. 2.-(AP)-Signs
Of irregularity developed in this
weeks financial and commodities
markets. The stock market went
through a period of reaction fol-
lowing sharp advance which car
ried scores of issues to new peak
prices for the year. The price
movement became stabilized, how
ever, as the week closed.
Time money showed a f1rmer ten
dency suggesting an increased de-
mand for funds incidental to expand
ing fall trade and crop movement.
Higher money had a reactionary eff
feet on the quoted value of high
grade bonds, rejecting sales by
banks and other financial institutions
which found more profitable employ
ment for funds elsewhere.
Wheat futures displayed a firmer
tone in response to reduced receipts
less favorable. crop reports from
Canada and rather pessimistic crop
advices from Europe. A sharp adj
vance in July contracts just before
options expired was one of the
webs features.
Cotton prices closed the week one
to nearly 1 IL cents a pound lower
on publication of reports showing
extensive relief from recent pro-
longed droughts.

There are very pleasing and attrac-
tive lines in this Colonial design
which give it an air of. refinement and
dignity. 1t would be well suited to
a suburban loca ton, having a number
of trees and shrubbery to give it a
proper setting. The plan presents a
well studied arrangement of rooms
and the construction of the house is
extremely simple and economical. A
shingle roof of dark moss green with
clapboard walls of a cream coloretd
tint make pleasing color scheme for
the exterior. The living room has a
large fireplace, with French doors at
the side leading to the sun porch.
The entrance is into small hall
which leads directly to both the living
room and dining room. The second
floor has three bedrooms and bath
with good closet space. The width
over all, including sun porch. is Al
feet. The dimensions of the main
house are 25x32 feet and 1t has an
area of 1856 square feet.

specifications, address Architect
care the Kennebec Journal, and refer
