London, April 5.—The greatest
moral lesson of the war would be to
sink the entire German fleet with
proper ceremonies, Josephus Dan-iels,
American secretary of the navy,
who recently visited the captured
German vessels at Scapa Flow, de-clared
in a statement to-day to the
Associated Press.
"The Germa.i fleet should be
sunk, in the opinion of American and
British technical experts in Paris."
the secretary said. "Those who are
not technical and who view the sit-uation
entirely from the moral side
have the same idr-i and believe that
the ships should be unk with bands
playing and flags living to keep
company with the n.e -hantmen the
German navy destroyed.
"I think.the greatest moral lesson
of the war would be the sinking of
the whole fleet with an unforgetable
ceremony. These ships, which I re-cently
viewed, are magnificent crafts
but virtually useless as a part of the
American navy. In the first place,
you would never induce an Ameri-can
sailor to live in the cramped
and unhealthy quarters, even of the
latest types, and none has bunker
space sufficient for our needs. The
ships undoubtedly were built for
lighting in the North sea. and not for
long cruises as is necessary in our
navy. The armor, however, is bet-ter
than the American or British."
The secretary said there is noth-ing
approaching a concert of opin-ion
as to the size of the internation-al
naval police force or as to what
responsibility each ally is willing to
accept. He added that "all must be
worked out when the league of na-tions
begins to function. But with
so many problems to faee the na-tions
are willing to leave that one
until later."

New York, May 5.—The one mil-lionth
man of the American expedi-tionary
force will embark for home
next week. Secretary Baker said to-day
on his arrival here from France
aboard the transport Washington.
The homeward movement of troops
Mr. Baker said, is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner and he
added that the 300,000 a month
mark would be reached in June.
Secretary Baker left here April 7,
accompanied by Warren Pershing,
Gen. Pershing's only son. He visit-ed
various points in France where
American troops are quartered, go-ing
also to the German line where
he reviewed the third army. Speak-ing
briefly of his visit. Secretary
Baker said:
"Kent Equipped Army in World."
"The American army abroad is in
splendid condition. The third army
which I inspected 'on the German
frontier is beyond doubt the best
equipped army in the world. It is
everything that an army should be,
in all its departments.
"The men are anxious to get home
and we are moving them as rapidly
as possible. I expect to see the 300,-
000 a month mark reached in June,
and the one millionth man will em-bark
for home next week."
Embarkation Camp at Brest.
Secretary Baker said he visited
but one embarkation camp—that at
Brest. "Its condition is simply
ideal." he asserted, "and you can
get the same expression from any
doughboy on this ship. I did not
see any of the others but am inform-ed
that the same good condition
prevails at all."
Mr. Baker'.- will remain over in
New York to-' review the parade of
the 77th division tomorrow, after"
which he will leave for Washington.

Washington, May 7.—President
Wilson issued a call by cable to-day
for a special session of Congress to
meet Monday, May 19.
Secretary Tumulty in making the
announcement said it would be im-possible
of course for the President
to be here on the opening day. The
date fixed for the special session

COUNTY WAS PRINCIPAL
SUBJECT DISCUSSED.
Raleigh, May 6.—Following a
heart-to-heart talk with the two
prisoners. Governor Bickett yester-day
granted conditional pardons to
Paul Jacobs and John Collins, two
A. E. F. soldiers, who were sentenced
to sixty days on the1 road from Wake
county for carrying concealed weap-ons.
The two boys were convicted
April 10, and the governor declares
that considering their war record
and the circumstances surrounding
the offense for which they were con-victed,
he thinks they have been suf-ficiently
punished.
The pardon is conditional upon
their good behavior, and it was very
forcibly impressed upon the two
boys, both of whom have seen ac-tive
service and carry wounds to
show for it, that any further of-fense
on their part will mean the
forfeiture of their pardon.
Collins lives in South Carolina-,
and will spend little time in North
Carolina hereafter. Jacobs, how-ever,
is a Henderson boy. and served

Arrangements are being made for
the American commander to hold an
investiture, probably at Buckingham
Palace, when he will decorate Brit-ishers
who won honors with the
American forces. General Pershing
will review American troops brought
here for the occasion and who will
march in a great parade with Brit-ish
and Colonial troops. The Amer-icans
will embark for home from
England. It is expected the troops
will arrive on May 22.

Washington. May 6.—It costs on
an average a little more than $200
a year to feed a child between the
period of birth and the age of 16'
years.
That was the rate set by Prof. W.
S. Ogburn during a talk on econo-mics
at the conference on child wel-fare
standards under the auspices of
the children's bureau of the depart-ment
of labor in the Washington ho-tel
to-day.
The actual cost of feeding each
child for the first 16 years of his life
is $1,750. The deficit in families
selected as the most economic exam-ples
for feeding a child for this pe-riod,
he declared was $71S. In most
cases this amount came out of lhe
needs of other members of the fam-ily,
parents often denying them-selves
food and clothing to feed the
children adequately.
The statistics were intended to
show that the average income of
families was too small to. provide
children with requisites of life.

Asheville. May 6.—Judge James
E. Boyd. of Greensboro, in charging
the grand jury in United States Dis-trict
court here this morning, took
occasion to flay the I. W. W. organ-izations
and the bolshevists of this
country, stating, among other things,
that the time had come when Ameri-ca
must tighten up the reins if these
people do not get a hold that will!,lovr in his pOSSPSii„u
paralyze the industrial situation in1
this country. Judge Boyd's charge
was one of the best that he has made
here in some time, and he was greet-ed
by a large audience, many of
whom were tourists stopping at the
hotels in the city who attended the
opening session of lhe court in order
to hear the judge's charge.
Reidsville. May 6.—Sheriff Gard-ner
and his deputies have been ter-rorizing
the moonshiners in this
county recently and have created a
panic among distilling circles. Three
stills and two men were captured in
the western part of the county Mon-day
and Tuesday of last week.
Friday night Sheriff Gardner and
Deputies Shreve and Brown captur-ed
three more stills, one near Went-worth.
one on the Thompsonville
road near the Caswell county line,
and a large copper still of 150 gal-lons
near Lenox Castle. This still
was one of the most up-to-date out-fits
ever captured in the county.
While on their way the officers met
two wagons near Lenox Castle on
which this still was loaded, presum-ably
en.route to a new location.
They also arrested Nick Harris, his
son. Samuel J.. and his son-in-law.
Cliff Scales, all negroes, who were
with the team. The two wagons and
three mules and a quantity of meal,
barrels, kegs, bottles and other dis-tilling
paraphernalia were captured.
The three negroes were brought to
Reidsville and put in the town jail.
They were arraigned before 'Squire
Hightower Saturday afternoon, who
bound all three of them over to the

All Are apparatus has been summon-ed.
Scores of women who jumped

minutes after the fire started po-lice
reported one known dead and
estimated those trapped may run to
20 or 30. A dozen small children
and babies in arms were tossed out

of the building is a mass of flames

United States railroad administra-tion.
The agricultural departments
of the railroads of Texas lately con-ducted
a campaign for more dairy
cattle on the farm, with the result
that several trains of pure bred ani-mals
have been shipped to Texas
centers for distribution. This caus-ed
a revival of the dairy business,
and a demand for more creameries.
Brewers desirous of turning their
property into something worth while
when prohibition comes, saw the
possibilities of the dairy industry
and proceeded with the change de-scribed.
Railroad agricultural rep-resentatives

The second session of the Guil-ford
county commissioners, in
monthly conference here Tuesday,
was featured and almost predomi-nated
by a prolonged and seldom in-terrupted
discussion of roads. In
every nook and corner of the county,
people want roads, and they believe
that the "50-50" law recently enact-ed
by the state legislature, with fed-eral
and state eld, should 'ins ire a
reputable highway in all part.; of IM
county.
Rut the county commissioner.! ari
skeptical, in that they do not see as
many dc.'lars forthcoming from
VVashingcon and Raleigh, as tin fea-tured
in Ihe nlS~ped illusions of tb6
people, and until provisions of the
act are investigated thoroughly. It
is assured that nothing definite will
be done. Sentiment of the commis-sioners
runs high for the road de-manded
by the people of Rock Creek
township, and it is believed that the
road will be built, although the
time of construction is still in the
conjecture stage.
A. M. Scales, Clem G. Wright,
David White and other persons who
own property abutting on the old
road to Guilford College, which is
really a Continuation of West Market
street, desire that it shall be paved
as the magnificent stretch of high-way
between High Point and
Greensboro. This will cost, it is es-timated,
between $20,000 and $30,-
000 a mile; one-half to be paid by
the- property owners and the remain-der
to be paid by the county. Al-though
the members of the board
spoke encouragingly, they do not be-lieve
that the county can stand the
expense at this time. Decision to
advertise the proposal was reached,
however, and definite action may be
taken witjtiVi the next few months.
On motion of Commissioner Jones,
of High Point, it was decided that
Mr. Boren should confer with state
and federal authorities to determine
exactly how much money might be
obtained in building the road be-tween
Gibsonville and Greensboro.
The commissioners realized that an
insufficient amount would be obtain-able
the first year from outside
agencies to construct the entire
road: but there is a probability that
the state and federal boards would
be willing to reimburse the county at
a later time, in the event Guilford
would advance all of the money so
as to. complete the road immediate-ly.
Until this has been guaranteed,
though, the road program must be
halted.
Garland Daniel, appeared before
the commissioners with a request
that the county should take over a
short stretch of road near the West
Market street terrace, so that it
might be paved as provided by the
abutting tax law.
The commissioners recommended
to the North Carolina State Board of
Charities the names of E. P. Whar-ton.
Mrs. Blanche Carr, of Greens-boro,
and J. W. Harris, of High
Point, for appointment in Guilford
county, pursuant to the requisities
of the state legislature. Realizing
that unusual care must be exercised
in selecting the whole time social
welfare worker for the county, the
members of the board decided to
forego the election of this officer un-til
the June session.
A total of $150 was appropriated
by the board for the negro farm
demonstrator. It was argued that
he should devote his entire time to
Guilford connty rather than dividing
it between this county and Ala-mance,
and on this account J. B.
Latham and C. W. Gold gave an ad-ditional
$160 each to he added to
the $900 furnished by the national
government. The demonstration
agent will now receive $1,200 an-nually,
and for this reason, it is be-lieved,
he may well devote his entire
