The officers located the plant about four miles south of Fayetteville and made a sally on it. There was no one present, however, the officers took thirteen beer ferraenters, containing some beer and several jugs of whiskey, together with several copper funnels and other paraphernalia -which the operators had on hand. Before the still was removed it must have been a pretty up-to-date plant, for there was a miniature blacksmith shop on the grounds which was capable of doing all repair work. Even a small anvil was on hand to be used in any emergency when the still should go out of commission. It was believed by the officers that the still had only been removed few hours when they appeared on the scene. It was suggsted that the dis tillers in that section might have a system of signalling by which they notify each other upon the near ap proach of the officers, The paraphernalia was brought to town by the officers, while the beer (Continued on Page Z.)

It was learn ed today for the first time that Presi dent Wilson is opposed to compulsory military training and service. Chair man James Hayes, of the House mili tary affairs committee, declares that the President is against any move in that direction. Assistant Secretary of War Breekenridge confirmed the statement. Secretary of War Garri son, General Hugh Scott, chief of staff of the army and other war de partment officials have gone on record m favor of compulsory service. The differences between the President and the military officials came to light at the hearing of the House military af fairs committee on the army bill. Assistant Secretary Breekenridge told the committee that the failure of the continental army plan probably would prove a strong argument for universal training. "Personally," he said, "I believe that universal service would be the most effective means of raising and main taining an adquate military force for the United States. That is tho opinion f the officials of the department and the o3icers of army and navy." "Vou do not presume to speak for the President on that ijuKstion?" ask ed Chairman Hayes. ''W e!J I can," continued Chairman Hayes. "The President is against the i'iea of conmpuisory service and is . great.y against any move in that di- 1 reetion." """I believe that is correct," said Mr. Breekenridge.' The possibility of equipping the navy yard of the government to turn out at once a fleet of tenty-five dreadnoughts was discussed before he House naval affairs committee. Rear Admiral Stanford, of the Bureau of Guards, was on the stand. The admiral declines to commit himself on this question, hut declared that the yards could be equipped in a short time so that work could begin at once on two ships at each yard. Questioned by the committee, "Ad miral Stanford said it would cost .-.bout vi2.!000,0no to get all these yards ready to begin work within six months. He seriously questioned the possibility to secure necessary ma chine tools without extraordinary ef forts and large expenditures. Representative Grey, of Indiana, ' precipitated a discussion by -endeavor-u ir to show. .that continuous increase of the navy was unnecessary be ause twt-i. e ships could be turned out 'y government yards in a shoii time.
