proposition which was withdrawn fol

' Government Must Decide.
The operators are prepared to leave
the entire situation in the hands of the

a way out of the difficulty, their spokes-
men announced. No joint meeting of
the sub-scale committee was held today.
' Dr. Garfield notified the mine owners
that he .would not meet their committee,
of which Thomas T. Brewster ia chair

New York, Nov. 22. The Prince of
Walea said good-bye to America to-day
and sailed for his own land. The cheers
of hundreds of thousands of New York
ers whoso friendship be had won dur
ing his brief visit rang in his ears ss the
great battle cruiser Renown,, one of the
mightiest vessels in the British navy,
weighed anchor and steamed majesti
cally down the North River. Edward
Albert waved , his farewell from the
fighting top to the great crowd gathered
on the banks of the Hudson to bid him
God-speed.
Airplanes dipped and eircled over
head and salutes boomed from (the
American warships in the river as the
Benown got nnder wny. The Prinee re
mained at his post in the fighting top
waving his hat in answer to the cheers
which reached him faintly across the
water until the shadows had finally hid
den the shores. As the battle cruiser
and her consort, the cruiser Constance,
entered the bay, seven American de
stroyers and. the American battleship
Delaware closed ia on her wake, each
with the British naval ensign flying
from the mala peak. They will escort
tho .royal ship to the vicinity of Halv

In Annual Report
BASES HIS JUDGMENT
ON WORLD WAR LESSONS
United States Has nothing To
Fear From Naval Operations
But Must Ouard Against
Seizure of Bases; Defends
Present General Staff Syi-
tern of Directing Army
Washington Nov! 22. A standing
army Of about 200,000 men, backed by
a universal ' military training "system '
to supply reserves, would meet the
peace-time requirements of the United
States, Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of
staff .declared,, Jn Jis, . annual report,
made public today, and whieh probably
forecasts recommendations to he msdo
by the War Department when Congress
reconvene.
General March founded his judgment
on lessons of the world war. That
proved conclusively, he said, that abil
ity to be self-sustaining for an indefi
nite period, provided the army was ade
quately prepared, was the nation's
greatest military asset
Mast Protect Naval Bases.
So far as purely naval operatione are
concerned, he added, the United States
has nothing to fear from "any conceiv
able combination" of naval powers;
but must be prepared to prevent seixnre
of bases by an enemy controlling the
sea and intent on landing troops.
"Without the possession of such bases
ia France," the report said, "we eonld
not have landed our army, irrespective
of the fsct that the allies had control
of the seas."
General March recommended fixing
the strength of tho regular army at five
army eorps, maintained at half strength
in peace-time. The proposals the de
partment presented tentatively to Con
gress during the specinl session called
for 509,000 men and the statement of
the chief of staff was taken to Indicate
that this would be scaled down to
,280,000.
The report aerennea trie present gen
eral staff system with authority central
ized in tha chief of staff. Proof, ol Us.
efficiency could be found, ft said, la
the faet that the United States had
sent more thaa 2,000,000 men and vsst
supplies overseas thus becoming "a
positive factor in the concluding mili
tary actions of tha war."
Need General Stiff.
"I am convinced," General March
said, "that without a properly organ
ized and efficient general staff with au
thority to formulate and execute the
army program, it will in future wars
as in this and every other war of our
history, be impossible for the activities
of the vsrious agencies, services snd
buresus of tho War Department to be
controlled and directed to the attain
ment of the common end."
"Under the terms of the treaty of
pedes," General March added, "the Ger
man general staff is abolished. Had
the Germans won the war they would
in all probability have prescribed some
what . similar terms for the United
States."
The war produced new practices, but
not new principles, the report said, and
"was not won, as some predicted, by a
new and terrible development of mod
ern science." but by "men, munitions
and morale."
The Amerienn military achievement
was possible "only because of the as
sistance of our allies," General March
said, and in urging an adequate mili
tary policy, added:
. Nation Self-Sustaining.
"Surely we can never expect to pre
pare for defease against the attack of a
powerful and determined agency again
under such favorable conditions to our
selves." , v-r-'
Military experts are agreed. General
March said, that the bulwark of Amer

-New York, Nov. 22. Bndieal literature,
including a Bussian language news
paper, urging seiiore of American ships
for tha Soviet government through
mutiny oa tho high seas, waa taken m4
a raid on an Last Bide communist
party headquarters here today.
The newspaper urged communists to
procure work on "any kind of transport
vessels of tho United States," giving the
address of the United States Transport
Service ia Manhattan as the place to
apply for the jobs. Plans for mutiny
after the ahip had reached tho open sea
included concerted action upon a pre
arranged signal ; seizure of all arms and
amr-nnitioa aboard; imprisonment of
the ship's officers; hauling down tho
American - flag; hoisting tho Soviet
emblem, and taking the captured vessels
to tha nearest Bussian Soviet port. .
A "rousing reception" awaited success
ful mutineers whenthey reached Russia
with their craft, the newspaper said,
and their achievement would win for
them the "favor of Leniaa and Trotsky."
Manifestos, programs, constitution
and reports to the "Communist Inter

fiscated. Portraits of Lenlne, Trotsky,
A. Joffe, Bolshevist ambassador to Ber

STATE DEPARTMENT WILL
W OPEN NO NEGOTIATIONS
Wsshingtoa, Nov. 22.-In the a bsene
of any official word from the State. De
partment on the outcome of the treaty
fight, diplomatic representatives of tne
ntento and associated powera here have
been communicating to their t'
mm.ls their own accounts of, whst hap
pened and the prospects for the Wtur.
The department takes the ground thst
technically the treaty is still. alive, not
having been rejected in the
that, therefore, it still is subject to re
vival and further action.
No doubt ia entertaieed by the various
Entente embassies that without 'lt'n
the further aetioa by the United States,
the four principal powers which already
have ratified it and also Germsny, will
call ia the several smaller states which
also have given their rstifieations and
will proceed to organize the League of
N .tio :a immediately upon theipiibliea
tioa of tho proees verbsle now set for
about December 1.
Yet the first step in that direction,
it is pointed out, must be made by Presi
dent Wilson, who Will find himself in
the position of being obligated to call
the initial meeting of the league, al
though he may not participate in its
deliberations. As the treaty remains
unratified by America there b no"1"
legal obligation upon President Wilson
to convene the league, but the other
powers have ratified the treaty with a
provision included requiring the first
meeting to be called by the President of
the United States, aad it is thought hero
that he will perform that funetioa as
a matter of international courtesy, if
not of obligation. ' .
In Japanese circles it is considered
that the door is still held open to China
to recover Shsntong and that, although
not one of the signatories of the Ver
sailles Treaty, China's first step is to
indicate to Japan her willingness to
begin negotiations.
As Germany under the terms of tho
treaty ia obligated to supply Japan with

all the documents aeeestary to settle

will also be serving mankind," declared
Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy,
to the fortieth international convention
of the association here tonight.
Mr. Daniels expressed high apprecia
tion of the association's work with the
army and navy during the war. Two
criticisms aimed at the association's
work, he declared, should be matters
of pride. The first was ss to its eanteen
work, he said, sdding "it is a record that
will live that when the hour struck the
association wss ready, equipped and
gave proof that it had practical faith
in preparedness."
"With army help it undertook the job
and though it sold at less thaa cost
the prices eharged necessarily were
higher than at home and some of the
soldiers made complaint."
The aecond criticism, Mr. Daniels de
clared, was that the Y. M. C. A. placed
religion to the fore in all its activities
with the armed service.
"Thst criticism is the erowning glory
of the association," maintained the
Secretary, "and whea it does not merit
this criticism, it will lose tho dynsmle
force which justifies its existence. It is
the power of Christian faith and Chris
tian service which has made tha Young

Pulpits Today
By T. A. 8IKES.
Wilson, Nov. 22. The opening fea
ture of the third day of the North Caro
lina Conference was the receiving of a
telegram from Bishop John C. Kilgo, ex
pressing his love and stating that al
though a bit wearied he was still in the
Christian fight
The reports from the nilniateis were
called for and the pastors of the Rock
ingham District were heard from. They
continued the progressive optimistic re
ports which hare characterized the
work of the conference in all of the dis
tricts. At the euggestion of Bishop Darling
ton the Conference expressed its sym
pathy for Rev. 8. E. Mi-rcer, whose
mother died last night. The audience
stood with bowed heads while the Bishop
led in a brief but feeling prayer.
Dr. T. N. Ivey presented a picture of
Liberty Bill, a famous houso built by
an early itinerant preacher, and tha
picture was accented and assigned -to
tha museum of xh Conference at Trin
ity College. .
Th Bishop submitted a proposition
headed dowa by the General Confer-
no to change the 23d article of faith
so as to make the minister of our
churches ia foreign lands amenable to
the civil authorities. Thia resolution
waa adopted unanimously.
Bishop's Address.
The real feature of the morning hour
waa the Bishop's address to tha young
ministers who are to be received into
full connection. He called attention
to the solemnity of the event and its
importance to both the candidates and
the Conference. The congregation was
called to silent prayer, after which the
Bishop gate the young men the vows.
Ia administering these vows he inter
spersed them with exhortations and ad
monitions of a helpful order. He de
clared that the matter of when and
where one was baptized, where one
served, the salary he received, was un
important. The ons thing that counted
was faith ia Christ. If he ia acknowl
edged as the Lord of all life all will be
well. But only a life of -misery will
result if one loses his hold upon Christ,
The times ore fierce and wild. Doubt
and despair are everywhere. The di
vinity of tho Master is questioned.
Spurious teachings wouid deny His
deity while they faintly set forth his
goodness. When a man loses his faith
in the Deity of Christ it is time he
gets out of the Methodist church. If
faith in Him is maintained, His pre
ence will go with bis followers wherever
they go.
The Bishop emphasized the grandeur
and greatness of the Christian life that
is sweetened by love and inspired by
a lofty ideal of goodness. Man ought to
leant to low God until there is no more
question as to his love for his Lord
thaa there ia as to his love for his owa
flesh and blood. The only way to reach
that desirable state Is to spend much
time in prayer. Only complete conse
cration can bring complete devotion.
Emphasis was placed upon the ne
cessity of devoting the whole life to then
work of the ministry. Secular wark was
to be avoided. When a preacher goes
to selling sewing machines and running
garages it is not fsr to failure.
Bishop Darlington also stressed th
need of paying attention U the young

Washington, D. C. Nov. 22. The
selection of John Motley Morebetd, af
Charlotte, by the Ninth district Repub
licans to oppose the Democratic nomine
for Congress in the special eleetioa en
December 10 is about th moat palpabl
effort to capitalize diasatisfactioa la
Democratic ranks made by th Re pub 11
esns ia North Carolina sine Merehead
was elected to Congress before.
Morehead'l nomination was predicted '
in thia correspondence sometime ago.
It will be, a little bit cheaper to rua
for Congress now than it will be to raa
for the United States Senate agalnat
Overman next November. And Mr.
Morehead figures, doubtless, that he can
get the drift of sentiment ia th Ninth
district just as well as anybody else
and have some little advantage over
everybody else whea the generals grt
together to start ths ball rolling seat
year.
Hope History Will Repeat Itself. .
The choice of Morehead ia viewed her
solely as a befief on th part of the
Republicans that they eaa repeat th '
Fifth district history of 1908, whea
Morehead -defeated Aubrey L. Brooks
for Congress. At that time Mr. More
head was a negligible factor ia th pon
tics of bis party, thong aa influential
cotton mill msa at Spray.
Brooks had bee nominated ovr Pro-. -feasor
Bolt, of Oak Bidge as the Dss '
oeratio aandldate, and th Osbora
for ia Guilford, who had supported
Holt, wer dlsplessed. Their disple-''
are changed to apathy aad Morehead
realised oa Democratic iadlffereaco
with th active aid of soms disgruntled
Democrat ia th district.
Everybody believes th X publics as .
have the same visioo aow they caught
in 1008. The Morehead supporter are
confidently counting- oa tho Hoey.rfc- '
Call contest for th , aomlnatioa t
leave enough disgruntled Democrat to
turn the tide in th Ninth. Th ery f
Mecklenburg, coming from Col. T. Lev
Roy Kirkpatrick aad others, for Hoey
to eome dowa aad let MeCall take '. i '
nomination has spurred th RepuMl
esns to plsy their best card la tha ef
fort to carry tha district aad break
North Carolina' solid Democratic del
gstion ia Washington.
The chances in tha Ninth ar hardly
as favorable as were the chance la
Fifth before. If Hoey wins th nemi
nntinn, Mecklenburg will be as active
in supporting him as they wouK h.
supporting Mr. MeCall. It will b a
pleasure to Mecklenburg to support
Mr. Hoey, if Mr. MeCall caat be aomi
nated, whieh is quits a contrast to th
aftermath of th Holt-Brooks fight.
Effect of Jadg Webs's Beaiaeae.'
Moving Judge Tate Webb into Char- -lotto
is one of th reasoas. While as
a matter of. faet, Judge Webb la bo
mora a resident of Charlotte thaa Jadg
Henry O. Connor is a resident of Ral
eigh, it is perhaps pleasing to Charlott
folks to hsvs Judge Webb designate
the Mecklenburg capital a hi "official"
residence. There will be those frieads
of Judge Webb who would certainly aot
feel unkind to Mr. Hoey evea after th
heat of a eampaiga ia . which their
eountymaa lost.
Another thing that will have a teal
ency to solidify rather thaa divide
Mecklenburg's Democracy, regardless of
who gets the nomination, is the break
Ins down of tha fiimmnns-w:iti.hln linea
All efforts 0 get them up again have
failed and the latest, linking MeCall
with Morrison, brings mors surpris to
Washington thaa anything: e fsr heard. .
MeCall might more properly be linked '
to Max Gardner sines he did aot sup
port Senator 8immons ia 1912. ,
Alignment af Candidates.
Washington has recently heard that -
the Lieutenant Governor, if hs is to be ,
linked with nnybody, had a littles bit
rather be tied to - MeCall thaa his :-brother-la-law.
For this attitude there
are two reasons. Th first ia his own
political sdvaneemnt against that af
his brother-in-law. Assistant District '
Attoraey Hoey, aad the second ia th
detrimental effect th election of Hoey -will
hay on the Oardner sTuberaatorial
campaign. . . . "
Legend has it that there has alwnv ,
been a bit of Jealousy between Clyde
Hoey and Max Gardner. Th areea
eyed monster has ever boon a trouble
some quantity ia th political careers of
th two. It dates back to th college
days of either and having com through
the "Bimmons and Kl tenia campaign,
whea brother Clyde carried tha horn '
county for Senator Simmons against
brothsr Max and. Kitehla, is now run-.
aing into the eampaiga of 1920. ,
Mr. Hooyw rasltion.
The Lieutenant Governor it said .to
hav been anxioua all th whil for '
Mr. Hoey to quit th race for Cob- 1
grass. Mr. Hoey, headstrong whea hm
starts, is said to feel that brother Max
moved up last aad that it is hi time
aow. H dossal feel that he should
sacrifice this opportunity to progress
for the truheraatorial aspiratioa ef h'sf '
brother-in-law, .
