Washington had a hot and sultry Fourth o July and tho city appeared lately reduced Jn pjcplttion, for there were fewer people oa the streets than at any other time in the four yean that I have been bore. Crowds had gone to the country and the lummer resorts, the city streets having even more than the Sunday ca w. With business houses closed for th day, it seemed almost in the class of a "deserted Tillage," "Nothing doing" is the news from 'he eapitol. The Senate has not btcn in session since'triaay, nor the House since an eicht-nnnrte session Saturday This afternoon the only member of the North Carolina delegation to be found was Congressman, Brinson, who told me that he found his office as cool as any place he knew of in Washington.

Wrangling about the tariff is roinz on. and ta particular mere is biff bunch of Republican Congressmen who are protesting against the proposed tariff on lumber.

There is one group of Be Tturiliea.nl who keep insisting that the first thing wanted by the people is re daction of taxes, and it is being urged that this be taken up in Congress, but the Republican leaders, knowing that their promises aboit tax reduction are all bank, are trying to aeep that in the bank around.

General To Begin Work Today of Making Camp Bragg The Brag Artillery Camp of The World : Comparatively Young Seen Extensive Service By BEN DIXON MACNEILL (8taff Correspondent) Camp Bragg, July 4 Four months ago Col. A. J. Bowley found his plans for building Camp Bragg into the great est artillery school in the world shat tered when be was relieved of eommand nd sent to Governor's Island for duty Today he came back wearing tha silver star of a brigadier- general in place of the silver eagles he wore away from here and formally assumed command of the camp again. Camp Bragg would have celebrated the Fourth anyway, but beeause of the General's return, every man and every officer on the reservation turned oit and put over such a celebration as it had not seen before nor since the Scotch were dispossessed and great artil lery began to roar across those wire grassed hills. Begins Work Today Tomorrow the General begins work n earnest. His first order, issued about ve minutes after he got to camp, was abolish road building in the camp a morning, and substitute drills. This is an artillery camp, and not a road building, polo playing camp, he declared to hie brother officers. Things bad gone a little stale during his b senee, but tomorrow morning they will begin to hum again and the General is going to make Brngg the brag artillery eamp- ef the- world. This morning was the enlisted mens day, and again this afternoon the Fif teenth and Seventeenth regiments, both of which have had Bowley as command ing officer undertook to settle the inter regimental baseball championship. The Seventeenth claimed the victory, moet ly because the Fifteenth was unable to get then enner. goal see visitors cap tured at Chateau-Thierry. Hae is rather" threadbare and age-worn goat by now. but still has considerable kica in her forehead. Unnsaal Officer General Bowley is )an unsuual sort of an army officer, a big, twofisted man with straight eyes, and a friendly smin that is for officers and men alike. The men like him, and the officers respe;t him. Ho knows what he wants, how ho aims to get it, and nothing at all about not getting it. He wanted to stay at Camp Bragg, and he is going to stay, now that he is back. In some army circles they call nun a Dolitician. but be is not that. Ho :s straight-forward, and not at all bashful about asking for what he wants, or un willinir to fight for it. Ho wanted t3 be a brigadier general, and he wanted to eommand Camp Bragg. Be is a Jmg adier General and he is in eommand. And Camp Bragg if nbout to get on the military map and stay there. The General's popularity is not eon. fined to the camp. Fayetteville turned out to the ball game and the polo game this afternoon to welcome him back to the Cape Fear country. Raleigh knows him from his presence at the .Morrison inauguration, and remembers the eourto sies that he extended the State at th-it time in the way- of rmhtary delegations, and the French trumpeters in partieu lnr. Extensive Service Though yet a comparatively yemn? man, riowtey nas seen a wiae rang? of service, He was in Pckin with the Americans in 1900. and in the F.uro pean War he eommandered the artillery of the Second Division. He wears the ribbons of decorations from most of the Allied nations, and among them the Croix d.e Guerre with five palms. His brother. Major Bowley, has been at Camp Bragg for several months in com mand of the Fifth Artillery, which is one of the oldest regiments in the American Army. NO PLAN OF ACTION BY RAILWAY LABOR CHIEFS Chicago, July 4. While no plan of action has been worked out y the 1,- 500 general chairmen of railway unions in sesaioa regarding the wsge eut which became effective July 1, a formal state ment was expected today setting forth railway labor's attitude toward the impending abrogation of national work ing agreements.

United States Senator Ice a. Overman was the principal speaker of the day. Occupying the city bandstand on North Main Street, Senator Overman addressed an audienre of more than two thousand people. He cited the Lis tory of the naLuin, goiag back tothe days of the' Revolutionary War when tho 13 colonies fought for liberty. This Southland and this North Carolina land that we love so well did more to bring about this independence than all the other, powers." senator overman praised the men who fought snd died for liberty. He mentioned the heroes of every war in which the American soldier has fought No soldier hae ever been born like the American soldier," said the speaker. 'They have got the initiative. They don t have to have loaders every time but they are ready to fight their own battles. I voted to draft our boys. I voted to carry those boys 3,000 miles across the waters to fight in the trenches, bnt when it comes to giving to their country and giving their help you'll never find them denying." The Senator from North Carolina be lieves that Gere should be no wars. He made it clearly understood that he is a strong believer in the peace treaty and exp. 'iscd the belief that the United 8tates would ''get in some day, either through the front door, back door or slip under. Senator Overman doesn t believe the gun -makers want peace, be cause they are in the business to make money. "In God's name let ns do something with tho other nations,'1 he said.

"I am going to give the soldier a bonus if I can get it for him. They had to go. All the world is suffering as it has never suffered before. I am will ing to take this money and anticipate it some day in order to give these boys real compensation.

Several thousand of them raised a terriUie thirst tramping up Fifth avenue in an antt prohibition d?m onstration and others packed the side walks for more than two miles to cheer them. It was called a 'wet" parade, and it was wet soaking wet with pers piration. The afternoon was one -of the hottest of the year, a scorching sun shining down thjaugkjMaud atmos phere that carried scarcely a whiff of breete. Mayor Hylan smiled and sweltered ir (ho te.it of honor in the reviewing stand at Madison Square. Each group greeted him with complimentary outbursts as they passed by. The native born ad dressed him blatantly and intimately and every now and then somebody would loudly inquire if His Honor did not long for a schoner.of lager on such a hot day. Foreign Born Kespectfal. The foreign born and they made up a big perrehtage of this demonstration against dryness always addressed the mayor by his title, or as "Mister Hylan." Some of the marchers bore banner? which called on all to witness "the out rage on physical liberty" against which they perspired in protest. Not 4 few women nnd children par ticipated in the parade. They were so outnumbered by the masculine marchers, however, that it seemed manifest that the male of the species is more thirsty than his mate. Everybody in the line had an American flag, and many wore miniature liquor bottles appropriately inscribed and pinned to their lapels. S00 Organisations la Line. There were more than 300 organize tions in line, about one hundred of them Italian,, those in charge... announced. Bands played drinking songs nad scngj dedicated to the absence of drinks. Han ners by the hundred mingled the serious sentiments ef the thirsty with he lighter view of people on the water wagon These placards, in a manner speaking, put the kick into the parade. Placards With Kicks. One placard read: "Prohibition took the sunshine from our homes and put the moonshine in, ' Another said : Ttusna went dry in 1919 and mad in 1921. How rational do you feel yourselft" A third declared: 'Four million sol diers fought for Liberty snd were re warded wph prohibition.

Biblical Quotations They suggested' Bible resding ss means of learning who made wine from water that the wedding feaat might be merry, and the Biblical line "Use little wine for thy stomach's sake," was also quoted. ' There were pictures of the Lest Sup per and of the Goddess of Liberty shorn of her prosy pose by shackles that bound her arms, together. Some of the banners urged people to iaka'thn Tt&rarln and'tha Antimant it represented 'with, seriousness, explaining that ''the marchers wanted' the Eigh teenth Amendment repealed and the Volstesd Act "liberalized' and further more, Uiat they were going to fight for the cause.- When the parade ended participants ana spectator, hot and . dry -throated poured into every available soda foun tain to quench their collective thirst with soft drinks. , n- ' .

Cities Will Have Until July U Within Which To File Statements Governor Cameron Morrison and the Council of State, meeting at noon at the Mansion yesterday, considered the finan cial stutoments filed by half dozen municipalities in the State in sup port of the Municipal Association's pe tition for a special session of the Gea. eral Assembly, and continued action until July 14. This gives the niunirtpalities ten days in which to file their statements. Thus far, there has been no concerted action oa the part of tho municipalities sin-e the meeting oft be association which pre sented a resolution to the Governor ex plaining that without legislative ro lief the cities cannot function this year in the face of the invalidate 1 muniel pa! finance act. But following the so Hon of the Council of State yesterday, W. L. Dwell, aecretary of the asaocla tion wired Gallatin Roberts, of Ash-! villo, president, suggesting the 'advisa bility of communicating with the muni cipalities, urging them to hasten their statements. It is certain that Governor Morrison and the Council of State wiil not call a apecial session of the legislature un ess the need for it is general and mand atorv. Tho fact that only hair dozon cities thus far have filed statements rather strengthens the suspicion on the part of some of the members of the Council that when tha cities arc tied down to individual action and a de tailed show of cause, tha demand for a special session will materially dwindle Borne of the municipalities, it is said are apparently afraid of publicity in the matter and are hesitating over furnish ing a financial statement for fear of printers ink. The Governor is not go ing to make public these statements. They will be considered for their true valuo and in their absence tho cause c the cities will fail by default. , Baleigh has not fet filed its financia statement, but it has beer, considered and wit! probably be f rrrwrnrrled ' to rlfo Governor today or tomorrow. Secretary Dowell's communication to Gallatin Bobcrts of Asheville, last B'gbt follows: "Understand Governor and Council of State held a meeting today snd decile to give municipalities until fourteenth within which to file financial statements showing necessity for calling specinl ses sion legislature relative granting finan cial relief requested by municiyal nsso riation.

I., To Consider Him As An American Newport, R. I., July . The attitude of the United States, which he said not only - liar always neglected to prOTidfmerTliaa Hffirly Torelgii wveraswta for pun lie criticism or omcers or m I armed forces, but has actually forbid-1 den it, was contrasted with that of some European powers, by Besr Ad miral William S. Sims, in an address today before the Hhode Island Branch of the Society of the Cincinnati. The American people, the Admiral said, knew less tbout the elements of warfare and leas about the actual con dition of their military forces than the people of any other great power, ad ding that Though this has militated against our preparedness in Hie past. nd although we have nevertheless Sl avs attained our object in war with- t very serious loss, still it must be evident that a similar attitude cannot be made in tho future without very serious risk. In a country governed as rs. the efficiency of its various de partments must necessarily depend ery largely upon tho Interest tne peo ple take in this emciency. Strcaaee Pakilclty It behooves us, therefore, seriously to recall the admonitions of our great first President in regarrd to prapared ness for war and adopt the necessary measures to insure that the public shall at all times be adequately informed of (heir progress through public discus ston carried out under such regulations as to safeguard the publie in this". Washigton s injunctions, Admiral Sims doclared, embodied "the immut able, fundamental prirfiples of the art of war and their application to- na tional security." They have been In isted upon he said, but they have failed to take hold of the minds of the people. I believe he delared, "tnst the re turn for the dangerous lack in our pco pie of a "prflTr TrfmcltudeWW1ia tlonart security is due chiefly to onr.be lief that our geographic isolation ren ders is practically immune from serious attack. Feeling ef Safety "America has never been defeated in war and suffered humiliation or loss of territory. Our independence has never been in danger and we have al ways heretofore had .the feeling that a never likely to be, though this folly has lieen somewhat ahaken by recent events. "Contfsst this condition of mind with that of some other country- Tl French know what it means to have a farcign enemy march through thei capital, to lose territory snd pay heswy indemnity. Other continental powers have had a similar eiperience In all these countries the national de fense is a live issue. "Under these circumstances the truth about the actual condition of the armed forces is so vitally important that any one who can point out a defect or sug gest an important remed will earn the gratitude of his government. Criticism is recognized as vital to efficiency in that it is not only welcomed but invited and is rewarded when it proves beneficial. Right of Criticism. ''Officers not actually on Htty are -at liberty to publish any criticism they please of the actions of the gpvernmen or of any of its departments. For ex ample, since the signing of the armis tice books have been published by Ad mirals Jellico, Fisher, Scott, snd Baco and by Field Marshal French. Thes- books contain criticisms of such sever itr as to make any of those which have appeared in America sef m very mild i comparison. "In the United Mates we nave not only always neglected to provide for public criticism of our olttcers, lui r have actually forbidden it. "More than a year ago a Senate com mittee completed an investigation ot matter of vital importance to our first line of national defense. Practically a of our Navy Depsrtment is such aa t make it impossible effectively to pre pare for war or to conduct war. ft M withstanding the importance of this in vestieation, the report of the eomm tee has not yet been made. Are ou people losing any sleep over this) They are not. "The missing element in Americanism is that it does not ineluds adequate solicitude for our safety.

Referring, la his reply, to th revolt f the Asscricaa eelealcs, Mr. Harvey declared: Pralam Grge V. ""Whether the territory comprising the Tnited States could have been retained is wholly speculative. But one fact is certain if George the Third had issued proclamation even approximating in eloquent sincerity snd appealing fore that uttered the other day by George in his faithful endeavor to reconcile nation, there would have been no ringing or bells in Philadelphia one hundred and forty-five years sgo this night, nor for many years thereafter." i Ambassador Harvey declared the mutual helpfulness which all desired could not be realized until two grave misapprehensions hsd been rrpovr-d, one of which pervaded Europe respecting th I nited States and the other permeated the United States as to Europe. Impression As T I . S. I "I find in Europe the common impres sion that the United States alone among the nations of the world," he said, "is today a land of milk snd honey, whose people not only are universally prosper- ous, though recalcitrantly contented, "trat are rich beyond the traditional dreams ot avarice. Yott have only to supple ment the fsncy with a suspicion which I. find not wholly lacking, that all this opulence snd this happiness are direct results of the great war, to account for the wholly natural sense of resentmeat. .'What are the facts! Did the United States really profit from the war to sueh a degree ss to make the lives she , sacrificed seenf to the cynical and sor did mind relatively insignificant!" Ambassador Harvey proceeded to cite the tremendously increased national debt, the Congressional appropriations for 1920, and the heavy income taxa tion. 11 o added: America's Sacrifice. "In dollars, the cost to America of her participation in the war, when finally computed, will fall not so very far short of the entire indemnity upon Germany. I make no comparisons. There has been too much of that al ready. Surely no good can eeme- now, wben we all are striving to get to gether in common purpose for the com mon and from disputing over the rela tive sizes of the contributions to ths great cause. ''The two men swirling down tha Niagara Falls River did not profit by dropping their paddles to quarrel over the distance to the falls they suc ceeded only in making their fate cer tain. .'.'Let. .us. in. a position . hardly less perilous, not emulate their idiotic ex ample." The Ambassador said the staggering present cost and the great price must be paid by the nest generation from ' those countries which had been so piti lessly denuded of the flower of their youth, who were relied upon to carry on. "Nothing could be further from my thoughts or more repellant to the In stinct of any American than to measure money sgainst men," he went on. "My sole purpose is to win fair considera tion from any who may have overlooked the fact that the Uni.'ed States, slong with Europe has her full share of ma terial burdens to bear for scores of years, in addition to her grief at the incalculably greater loss of those who perished in the service of their coun try.''
