HARDING ORDERS 1 WORK SUSPENDED ON WAR VESSELS Navy Personnel Will Be Cut , Immediate . Saving of $5, 000,000 per Month As Result. NAVAL BASE WORK STOPPED. WASHINGTON. There was aot a momenta delay in putting, into effect the disarmament policy made Possible by the Five-Power Naval imitation ' treaty. Even before the treaties were delivered to the United States Senate and before some of the foreign delegates had left Washing ton President Harding ordered all inrork suspended upon construction of 11 war vessels, which under the pro isions of the treaty ( if ratified by .11 the powers) would be scrapped. fhis "included eight first clas battle ships and 'six battle cruisers now un der construction in government and private shipbuilding yards at various points in the United States. Work on some of these battle ships was 70 'per cent complete while on others it bad hardlv commenced. The naval 'construction1 thus halted by order of President Harding has been costing tiie government $5,000,000 a . month. Of course, in event some nation re fuses to ratify the naval treaty, and it threby fails to go into effect, work fk.p-.ii these vessels will be resumed In event the treaty does become ef fective, however, the work thus Sus pended will be wholly abandoned and (what has been done ujon the vessels twill be later destroyed according to Vhe terras of the treaty la addition to ordering all naval Snstruction work upon these vessels upended pending the consideration of the naval treaty by the respective wers, President Harding ordered alAwork upon the various fortiflca tloL and naval bases in the Pacific ocean stopped in accordance with the navrt treaty, which provides that (ex cept Vu Hawaiian Islands the Alas kan tLst, the coast and the main land the United States and the Panaalcanal Zone) all fortifications of thnlted States in the Pacific ocean rVt not be strengthened and no nevfl Mentions or bases may be astablsvi This includes the Isle M - . . - of Gum m cf the Philippine group ulsr possessions of th and Pacific. rid Pre ident Hanlluit ortlScations of Correg- the Philllplnes, were Im and ordered un- V loaded at Haulu The ilopil of nil of this nsval t costrucllon v and the stoppage of n etrengtbi- c 0f 0ur insular fortl - ficatlons ind l bases not only I OFFICERS INVADE CRAVEN AND CAPTURE BIG STILL. i A party of raiders headed by pro hibition officer W. D.. Allen magi a raid into the liquor infested part of Craven county Tuesday and succeed ed in locating And destroying a large whiskey making outfit. Those in the party besides Mr Allen were Sheriff T. M. Thomas Jr., James Hutton, Las- lie Newkirk and Douglass Whitehurst. The captured still was found on Hancock's creek in a neighborhood wnere it is said that a good deal of bJockadeing goes on, Besides the still, a copper one of 160 gallons' ca pacity, 22 barrels of beer and 3 vats containing mash were found and des troyed. In looking about the place the officers . ran across an old keg, containing four or five gallons of corn lipuor that had apparently been hid den away, for a long time. This was also destroyed. ' ' ; The mooonshiners had their plant well hidden back three miles from the road in a dense and almost impass able forest. Supplies for making the lifluor were carried to the place by boat v and the: whiskey carried off in the same way. It is a very difficult thing to find stills that are located in such places and considerable de tective work has to be done in order to get them.' A still like the one captured has the capacity of 35 gal lons a day and at $6 a gallon, which is said to be the market price for such liquor can make money fast if not found and destroyed. WANTS COUNTY AGENT. mrA ath- I United M f. So lfM unlt la idor Id"' stopped by I Editor of the News: As I was looking through the recent Reference Special issue of (he Progressive Farm er, I came across a list of names of counties and of the county farm a gents to whom the farmers of each respective county may go in order to seek valuable information relating to farm problems; and, to my utter astonishment, 1 found that Carter et was notcontained In this list Why is this . II. Editor? Is it that we are too poor to afford a coun ty farm agent? Really, do not the farmers ox our county deserve re liable man, well versed la scientific agricultural problems, who. can give them . valuable information as they do In other counties? Mr Editor, I do not propose to have the people of our county bur- dened with excessive taxes in order to pay an official for whom we have no use whatever; but I do hope that the people' of Carteret County will read the above mentioned list, which may be found in the Issue of the Pro gressive Farmer for ', February 17, and that they will consider as to whether or not they, or I will ray we, rather, really need such a functiou ary, whether or hot it would be a wise thing to have a county farm agent Sec'y, Denby Hears Market Reports By Wireless "AW J 4 V ROM A DESTROYED AND MANY, ARE KILLED.

When they arrived there, they were met by tile teams of the Orient and The United States government seems to have .bad luck with its for- eign , built - airships. Some months ago a big dirigible that the. Govern ment had contracted to buy from the British government was destroyed in England and on Tuesday the Roma a big airship bought from Italy was burned and 85 men killed. The ac cident Tuesday seems W have been caused by some accident to the steer ing gear. The following " is taken from th Associated Pess account oi tne affair: ' . , ri : . Norfolk, Va.
