SMS CAMP BRAGG IS NOT TO BE ABANDONED Senator Simmons Wires Report ' Is Baseless. Fayetteville Up in the Air About Re- I port and Senator's Assurance Most Welcome Message Ever Be . ceived There. By A. M. MYBQVER. - -Fayetteville, Dec. 17. Assurances "that the report given circulation today by the Associated Press that construc tion of Camp Bragg is to be abandoned, is "absolutely without foundation" were received by Senator F. M. Sim mons from General Henry Jervey, chief of operations of the general staff this afternoon, according to a tele gram received late today by H. V. D. King, secretary of the Fayetteville chamber of commerce from the senior North Carolina senator. On learning o fthe contents of the Assocaited Press dispatch received by the afternoon paper stating that the field artillery cantonment at Camp Bragg was listed "among war depart ment construction projects ordered abandoned today." Secretary King at once telegraphed Senator Simmons asking him to investigate the report. "Your wire of today received" says the reply telegraphed by the senator. "Have just talked with General Jervey, chief of operations, general staff, who states that any report circulated to the effort that Camp Bragg is to be abandoned is absolutely without any foundation." The report when received here about noon created nothing but the blankest amazement. None of the camp or con struction officials had any orders or iknew of any developments that would indicate such a turn in affairs. Cham- ; "ber of commerce officials and business men were astounded. It was a bolt from a very blue sky as" far as Fayette ville was concerned. There was a ' marked tendency towards incredulity and the denial of the authenticity of the report contained in Senator Sim mons telegram this afternoon consti tuted one of the most welcome mes sages ever received in Fayetteville. BRITISH EMPIRE KNEW OF WAR IN 6 MINUTES Xfewa Was Quickly Flashed to Colonies and Islands on the Night Of August 4, 1918. London, Nov. 20. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) It required only six minutes to inform the British em- ' pire that England was at war on the night of August 4, 1914, says Lord Har- court, who was then colonial secretary. "On that unforgettable night," lie said to the empire parliamentary asso ciation, -"I was in the cabinet room, Downing street, with a few colleagues. Our eyes were on the "clock, our thoughts on one subject only; but there was a feeble effort to direct our con versation to other matters. We were waiting for a reply, which we knew full well would never come, to our ul timatum to Berlin. "When Big Ben struck 11:30 mid night in Berlin we left the room knowing that the British empire was at war. "I crossed to the colonial office to send a war telegram to the whole of the British empire. I asked the offi cial in charge of that duty how long it would take. He said 'about six min 1 utes.' "I asked him to return to my room when he had done his work. In seven minutes he was back and before morn ing I received an acknowledgment of my telegram from every single colonial protectorate, and even islet in the Pa cific. f So the grim machinery of war began revolving in perfect order and with perfect preparation because, more than two years previously, an individual . "war-book h3,d been prepared by the co lonial cnmmittpn rtf rlcfpnsp fnr ovorv single protectorate and island. It was at that moment locked in the safe of each governor or commissioner and they knew at once what to do." .."SQUADRON IS CROSSING THE COUNTRY IN AXRPIANBS ' Washington, Dec. 17.

C, and His Wife, Have Tried the New Root and Herb Medicine and 1 Recommend it to Their Friends. "My wife often had choking spells and her heart would beat very fast and made her uneasy," said A. J. Win ' "Sate, of Route 2, Sumter, S. C. - "I myself suffered from stomach dis order and indigestion and my sleep was badly broken so that when I got up . of mornings I was about as worn out as when I went "to bed the night before.

SENATE SPEEDS UP ON REVENUE BILL With Holidays in View, Leaders Make Rapid Progress. Only Handful of Members are Present, But Many Provisions of a Minor Nature Are Disposed of 1020 Tax. Debate Deferred. Washington, Dec, 17. Rapid progress on the war revenue bill was made to day by the senate, with leaders ap parently uniting to hasten its passage by late this week or at least before the holidays. 1 After Senator Penrose, senior re publican of the finance committee, had delivered a prepared address urging prompt passage of the bill, bu,t' dis approving its provisions to fix 1920 tax raters, the senate, with only a handful of members present and with perfunc tory discussion, adopted many impor tant amendments and- approval pases of minor provisions Consideration of all 1920 rates, however, was pompon ed by unanimous consent. Among important sections adopted were: The war excess profits rates for 1919, ranging from ?0 to SO per cent, as revised- by the finance committee and expected to raise $2,400,000 as compar ed with $3,200,000,000 under the house bill. Rates of $6.40 and $2.20 per gallon, respectively, on distilled spirits for beverage and non-bevelVge purposes, as reduced from the respective $b and $4.40 gallon rates of the house bill and estimated to raise $450,000,000 as against $70,000,000 under the house draft. Taxes on freight, passenger, express, Pullman and oil pipe line transporta tion as proposed in the finance com mittee's revision and estimated to raise $229,000,000; and repeal on July 1 next of the law increasing first-class mail rates from 2 to 3 cents an ounce a.nd providing for :eutoration of the old prewar rates involving a revenue re duction of about $"i0,000.000. When these provisions were adopted, reservations were made by several senator of the right to offer substi tutes or amendments later Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, republican, an nounced he would offer an amendment for revisions of the individual income surtaxes and Senator Thomas of Colo rado, democrat, gave notice that he would propose war excess profits rates in lieu of the committee plan. The committee amendment for restoration of pre-war postage rates on letters and postcards next July was adopted with out discussion, but acting was deferred on the companion provision for repeal of the existing zone rates on second class postage and substitution of the committees new, modified zone" plan. Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, an nounced that he desired to discuss, the second-class postage section. Besides adopting many sections in volving the finance committees rate changes the senate approved, without debate, virtually all of the administra tive provisions of the income tax and other sections, including those for amortization, filloAcinces to oil, gas well, timber and mining enterprises and for consolidated tax returns. Among important questions remain ing besides, 'the 1920 tax rate3, are the income normal rates, almost the entire war excess profits section estate and inheritance taxes, the in surance clauses, the child labor amend ment, luxury taxes and a few of the excise and other miscellaneous taxes.

Washington, Dec. 17. The. American fleet returning from Europe, which is to be reviewed at New York by Sec retary Daniels, is expetced to arrive off Ambrbse light vessel at daylight on Tuesday, Dec. 24. The navy depart ment announced that the ships will pass the Statue of Liberty about 9 a. m. and will then anchor in the North river from 55th street to Fort Wash ington. Besides the ships already announced as returning from foreign service and those acting as escorts to the presi dential ship, the George Washington, these vessels will take part in the review: Battleships New Mexico, Mississippi, Missouri, Maine, Wisconsin, Alabama, Illinois, Kearsarge, Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts, hospital ship Solace; supply ship Bridge and one or more naval fuel ships. Neither the exact number nor the names of destroyers or converted yachts returning from Europe are known now at the navy department. The destroyers and other small craft on their arrival will be anchored in berths on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river. As it passes into the harbor, the fleet will be reviewed by Secretary Daniels from the Mayflower. After the fleet has reached its anchorage the Mayflower, followed by vessels carrying New York city officials, will review the ships at anchor.

The department announced that as the parade will occur on Christ mas eve, generous leave of absence will be granted to both officers and men immediately-after its conclusion. The fleet probably will remain at New York until January 8. U-BOAT VICTIM OF ANOTHER'S TORPEDO Ship Saved by a Timely Wave, The Missile Pawing Under It And Striking: U-boat. London, Nov., 25. (Correspondence). Now that censorship rules have been much relaxed, extraordinary stories of close shaves and unexpected happen ings are being published. Hard to beat is one related by the Liverpool Evening Express. It tells now a tor pedo from a U-boat passed under an intended victim which at the psycho logical moment was lifted beyond its reach by a big wave and administer ed the quietus to another enemy sub marine on the other side of the steam er. Here is the paper's account of it: The British steamer Algories, com manded by Captain Frederick Taylpr, was off Bardsey Island and had a car go of timber from Rosslare to Gars ton. There was a heavy sea on and the ship was pitching about. The first to see the first submarine was the gunner who also spotted the track of the torpedo, which, if some thing like a miracle had not happen ed, would have struck them amidships. Nothing could be done in time to turn the ship clear of danger, but a heavy sea lifted high on its crest the steam er which was only drawing a few feet of water and then those who had just been expecting to be torpedoed them selves, saw a second U-boat which was working in conjunction with the one on the other side of the steamer, struck by the torpedo. They heard a deafening explosion and saw a mountain of spray thrown up into tue air. MERCHANT SAILORS WILL BE PLACED ON NEW VESSELS Washington, Dec. 17. Crews of mer chant sailors instead of naval men, will be placed aboard all ships of the United States merchant1 marine hereaf ter commissioned, except vessels en gaged in transportation of troops. This decision, the shipping board announced tonight, is in consequence of the elimination of the submarine danger with the attendant discontinu ance of the convoy and other naval reg ulations which governed the move ments of cargo vessels during the war. It is understood that no changes will be made for the .present in the .naval crews of merchant vessels already In service. In making this announcement Bain bridge Colby, acting chairman of the shipping board, said the board had been "guided by the necessity of restoring the usual commercial conditions gov erning the operation of merchant ves sels as rapidly as possible in order to enable the ordinary competitive condi tions to be met." OPPOSE FEDERAL RADIO OWNERSHIP (Continued from Page One. system was supervised by German radio experts. Mr. Nally recommended to "the com mittee that the government.be allowed to control coastal stations which re ceive and transmit messages between ships and land, but urged that the ownership of stations sertding trans oceanic or overland messages should be allowed to remain in private hands, Government ownership of the sta tions was characterized by Mr. Griggs as unjust, confiscatory, and a "menace to the country" as it would mean, he said, that riot . a single private, busi ness, or press message could be sent without its passing through govern ment hands, thereby setting up an ar bitrary censorship. . The committee was asked to ,review the bill, so if. passed it would provide for an arbitration board to decided upon' the amount to he paid the Mar coni company. FOSTERSPLAN FOR .

Smuts May Remain In War Cab- lnet as Loss as It Continues Premier Opposes Large Ministry. London, Dec. 17. (British Wireless.) The Daily Chronicle's parliamentary Correspondent says that Lieut. . Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, who was reported Monday as having resigned from the war cabinet on the ground that the war having terminated, -his services no longer were required, probably will re main in office as long as the war cabi net continues. The newspapers says that in the ordinary course of events the war cabi net will be superseded by a normal cabinet, of which Gen. Smuts will not be a member. Gen. Smuts ' will have important duties to fullfill in connection with the Paris negotiations, the Daily Chronicle continues, and either he or Gen. Botha, the South African premier, will be a member of the peace con ference. "It is understood that Mr. Lloyd George is averse to a large cabinet and when his government is reconstituted after the elections it probably will be found that the personnel of the new cabinet will not exceed twelve. Con siderable changes may be looked for i nthe ministry. "Lord Miller will leave the war of fice and Sir Eric Geddes the admiralty and it 4s an open ' secret that Austen Chamberlain will succeed Andrew Law as chancellor of the exchequer. Advantage may be taken of the na tionalization of railways to appoint a minister of transport a post for which Sir Eric Geddes has obvious qualifica tions. "The prfme minister has deferred his visit to Paris in order that he may be present in London Thursday to partici pate in the welcome to the victorious British generals. He will go to France Friday to meet President Wilson." EXPLAINS DEALINGS WITH HUN AGENTS (Continued from Page One.) said that they were made with full knowledge that Albert was. attached to the German embassy. He said the transaction was to be purely a busi ness one and that, it made no difference to him. then whether Albert secured the money from Berlin so long as con trol Qf the paper .remained with him self and his associates. The witness told of his friendship with Dr. Bernard Dernburg, who left the United States at the request of President Wilson, because of his pub lic speeches in defense of the sinking of the Lusitania. He said he did not believe "ernburg really believed all he said about the Lusitania. During the hearing today the committee-received a letter from Brad ford Merrill, editor of the New York American, saying that Edward Lyell Fox was not employed by the Hearst newspapers and that there was no rec ord that Marshal Kelley had been em ployed oy those, publications. .Fox's name frequently has been mentioned at the Investigation in con nection with German propaganda while Kelly was "said to have been sent to Baltimore t by . German agents to at tempt to negotiate for the purchase of the Baltimore' Sun. . . After receipt of .the "letter. Captain George B. Lester ' of ' the army intelli gence seryic'e,"?who had mentioned the names of Fox and Kelly in his testi mony, last . week, was recalled. He read into the' record credentials which he -said were given Fox when the cor respondent went . to; Germany .and which showed he -was connected with the Hearst o.ffice there."
