Washington, July 4. 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. Sen

nebulous "Association Of Nations" that
he has talked about, but no one appears
to be able to say what that
That he finds the Republican majority
in the House aid Senate laggarl in the
work of niving to the country legisla

the report that comes from those close
to the White House and it is said that
he has about reached the opinion that the

Congress Is doing nothing, and they are
calling for a speeding up ana not, get

Tariff and Taxation,
The Question of the tariff and taxa
tion sre both bothering the Republican
leader. 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. Delegations from
many sections sre protesting against it
and have even carried the matter to the
President. 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.
And the number of rows about the dis

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

regimental baseball championship. The
Seventeenth claimed the victory, moet
ly because the Fifteenth was unable to

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

The statement was expected to deal
chiefly with working rules on which
union leaders assert they will not yield
without a struggle.

Senator Delivers Strong Ad

Held at High Point
High Point, July 4. Thousand of
men, women And children from all parts
of -this section were h-erc today for trne
of the greatest Fourth of July celebra-
ions in the history of the Furniture
Citv. 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. "Fortyfour nations' have agreed
on a peace treaty. Do you suppose th"?
aro going to get out of it to joia Mr.
Harding
Cheer after cheer followed he words
of the speaker when he aaid he was go
ing to work until he secured a bonus
for the -men who were forced to cross
the seas and fight during the recent
war. "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.
Men who are forever attempting to
overthrow this government have no
place in the United States," the Sena
tor declared. ' I believe in a free press.
i oeiieve in Tree speech, but when men
stand under a Red flag and preach over
throw of government and anarchy I be
lieve they ought to be arrested and
stopped. '

A Genuine "Wet" Parade
Perspiration and Thirst Be
. ing Liberally Mixed
New York, July 4, A great many New
Yorkers let the world know today that
they ber no love for the F.ighteenth
Amendment. 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

Bands played drinking songs nad scngj
dedicated to the absence of drinks. Han

sentiments ef the thirsty with he lighter

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

The serious signs asked everybody to
notice that alcoholic aridity had done to
the American Merchant Marine.
Biblical Quotations
They suggested' Bible resding ss
means of learning who made wine from

little wine for thy stomach's sake," was
also quoted.
' There were pictures of the Lest Sup

that bound her arms, together.
Some of the banners urged people to

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. Should secretary of Associa

Sims Says United States Has
Actually Forbidden Public
Criticism of Government
Officers r- Ail He if eri
Newport R. 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. The govern
ment, and to a certain eitent the peo
pic, resent criticism of anything Ameri
tan.
Admiral Sima expressed the hope that
his hearers would "Be kind enough to
consider me an American, aotwithatand
ing ths title that has been given me by
certain unfriendly critics of 'the most
popular British admiral in the Ameri
can Navy I "

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.'' RALEIGH MAN NARROWLY '
