annual canference of the Pan-American
financial conference opened here
today to consider financial problems
arising out of the war.
President Wilscn sent a message
declaring Pan-Amrica sought no self
ish purpose in doing its part to re
store world peace. Guided by a pur
pose to serve cne another and the
world to the utmost, the president
said in his message, read at the open
ing session, real Americans will re
gard as a privilege the fulfilment of
those obligations imposed by the
great advantages enjoyed by Pan
American nations which have given
to the world no small achievement is
eliminating the idea of conquest as a
national thought.

Ii ENFORGE
Asserting that liqoor is "the Hun
within America," Rev. W. O. Goode
made a strong appeal at the First
Methodist church yesterday morning
fcr law enforcement. He pleaded for
a wholesome sentiment and declared
that the American flag, with intoxi
cating liquors outlawed, had the last
stain removed from it and urged his
congregation to lend their efforts in
the gcod cause of prohibition.
During the course of his sermon he
remarked that even the Russians, who
have trampled everything that is -sacred
underfoot, do not want Enlma
Goldman and Alexander Bcrknian to
return to that country. These anar
chists have spit upon the American
flag, but they arc so vile that old asso
ciates do not care for them in their
native land.
Mr. Goode told of the slow growth
of prohibition sentiment in North Car
olina. He recalled the efforts of the
late Captain Hoyle in Cleveland coun
ty to have stills removed from near
schools. A few men and women and
children heard, but the men generally
had no sympathy with his "efforts.
It was the same way everywhere and
"good" church people w'ere against
prohibition. They simnly saw the
question m the wrong light.
Then he reviewed the actions of the
various states in voting dry until the
whole country was ready for prohibi
tion. We have ccme upon a better
day in the nation and .be called upon
ail church people to "assist the officers
in enforcing the law. There will be
men wdio will make liquor and men.
who will sell it, Mr. Goode said, and it
is our duty to create a strong senti
ment against it. Bootleggers Infest
this city and on Friday night and Sat
urday they are worse. The officers
ced the manhood of this community to
stand with them in detecting these
gentry. If wTe will do our part, we.

senate investigation of Rear Admiral ...
Sims' charges cf failure of the navy'
department to cooperate fully with the
allies is made to the "entire satisfact
ion of the American people," an in
quiry will be made by a naval board,
Secretary Daniels said today.
He added that no organization in the
history of the world ever did a bet-
ter job than the American navy. While
refusing to discuss Admiral Sims' let
ter, the secretary indicated that the
admiral frequently clashed with the
department through his "insistence
that more destroyers be withdrawn
frcm troop convoys to augment the
anti-submarine forces in European
waters."
"The paramount duty of the Amer
ican navy," Mr. Daniels declared, "was
to protect the passage of American
troops to Europe and the safe-guarding
of merchant ships, as important
as that was, was secondary."
Secretary Daniels emphasized that,
contrary to a popular impression, Ad
miral Sims wras subordinate to Ad
miral May, commander of the Atlan
tic fleet. He indicated that on th
question of the dis'tributicn cf naval
forces Admiral Mayo disagreed with
Admiral Sims and was sustained by
the secretary of the navy.
Every naval order, every document
bearing on the navy's war activities,"
Mr. Daniels continued, "is open, to, the.
light cf day and the more thoroughly
the record 'is laid before the people
of this country the greater pride they
can have in the achievement of , the
navy."
