ANOTHER YEAR
will soon have passed into history. Let us now turn our
thoughts to the future and resolve to make 1920 a better year
than any.
Our books close on January 1 st. when we begin our annual
inventory. We "clean up" once a year. We do not carry
past due accounts from one year to the next, .but dispose of
them otherwise. If your account is past due we will appreciate
check by January 1st. We will place in the hands of our
Attorney for collection all accounts dating prior to August 1 st,
1919. If your account happens to be (n the latter class, don't
blame us, it is your fault and not ours. '
Why not make this "Pay up week"? You could not
do a better thing for yourself nor for your creditors, and
all would make a happy start for the New Year.

Superintendent M. K. Weber, of the

a sep sorrow at the loss of Principal
Barton, of the Oranre Street
and paid a tribute to the efficiency

Mr. Weber said that while he had
not given the matter any thought as
yet, he .felt that It would doubtless
be best To appoint from the teaching
sum ui uranti oireei scnooi, a suc
cessor to Mr. Barton to be at the
head of the school, until a regular
principal coum - te named.
Owing to the fact that it is mid
season and all teachers who cared to
work, would be at work, he doubted
if a principal could be found before
next summer for the Orange Street
school. In that case the temporary
head would continue with the school
work until the regular principal was
finally selected.

Be sure to see our Rare Bargains. It's the
greatest Money-Saving event Asheville
has seen in years (
averaged 127 and of these on an aver
age forty-seven were in service at the
front. The fact that ruthless sub
marining was commenced with only
20 boats at sea he explained by the
prevalence of Ice off both the Gorman
and Flanders coasts, which necessitat
ed very cautious handling of the sub
marines and actually caused damage
to many of them.
It was explained' by Von Capello
that five submarines wero required
for each station. Of these, one was
actually at work, another was on Its
way home, the third was coming out
and two were being overhauled in
dockyards.
A good deal of the proceedings was
occupied by a discussion whether the
main committee of the relchstag was
deliberately misled by the withholding
of these details, and also of the fact
that many of the submarines which
it was told were beng built had not
even been commenced. Another topic'
of lively debate was the question
whether the naval authorities hoped
by ruthless submarining, to "bring
England to her knees," or merely to
"Incline her to an acceptable peace."
Von Capelle asserted categorically,
"No one in authority dreamed of
starving England out," but official
and semi-official utterances which
seemed to prove the contrary were
ouoted by members of the committee.
I Von Capella said that in 1916 it was
; the general view of naval men that
the "submarine cruiser warfare" was
not worth the losses it Involved,
though they amounted only to a fourth
nart of the new construction. The
commander in chief of the high sea
fleet was compelled by the ex-kalsor
to abandon his standpoint on this
matter and to take up submarine
cruiser warfare. New York Tribune.

Von Capelle Puts Blame on
Wilhelm for "Ruthless
Attacks."
LONDON, Dec. 1. The sitting of
the national assembly committee of
inquiry brought out valuable contribu
tions to the naval historv of the war.
says the Berlin correspondent of "The
London Telegraph." Admiral von Ca
pelle, von Tirpitz'B successor as min
ister of marine, admitted that the
battle of Jutland was one of the main
reasons why Germany built so few
submarines in 1916, and consequently
was Inadequately supplied with boats
when she adopted the policy of ruth
Icbs sinking in February of the fol
lowing year.
So serious, he said, was the damage
inflicted on the German fleet in that
battle that it was necessary to take
workmen away from submarine con.
structlon and put them on repair-
work. Other reasons which he gave
for the delay, in building submarines
in 1916 were his own untamlliarlty
with that weapon when he took office
and the laying down of the British
mine fields in the North Sea, which
necessitated the building of sweepers
on a large scale to clear the exits
from the German harbors.
Few U-Boats Built.
Von Capelle said that altogether
Germany gave out orders for 810 sub-
marines. Von Tirplts ordered 45 of
these boats before tho war and 188
subsequently. Von Capelle came into
orace tn March, 1810, and during the
remaining nine months of that year
he ordered 80 submarines. In 1917 hs
placed orders for 220. By cross-sx-
amination, however, Herr Gothein
elicited the fact that these Imposing
numbers only existed on paper and
inKi ui cicvrii fmo wiiiuii vveuiumijr
Were employed on the construction of
submarines only five actually got to
the point of delivering boats. Von
Capelle said that two vears or more
were required to build the largest sub
marines and a year for the smaller
types. It appeared that several yards
received their first orders for sub.
Unar)nes only In the spring of 1917.
