I N Despite the covering of snow and tho threatening weather of the night before, the early morning service of the Moravian church at the Salem graveyard was attended by fully five thousand people. While this attend ance was less than usual on this occa sion, there were greater crowds pres ent than were expected, as very few visitors braved' the elements to at tend. The day broke perfect and as the first rays of the sun penetrated the beautiful cedars and the bands broke into their Easter carols the scene had all the beautiful signifi cance of former years and was great ly enjoyed by the impressed attend ants. . BiBhop Rondthaler conducted the sunrise service and the augment ed band of eighty-five pieces furnish ed the music. : At 2 o'clock Sunday morning the band, under the leadership ot I). J. Pfohl, and divided into several selec tions, went into every section ot the city and suburbs, playing anthems and carols until time for the Home church services. - This annual custom, per formed under conditions that made It hard and unpleasant for the band boys, was t none the less . impressive and when the street cars began moving at 4 o'clock they were quickly crowd ed with the throngs hastening to Sa lem. In automobiles and on foot they came and when the sunrise hour ar rived the church -was surrounded with crowds that had every appearance of being nearly as large as in former years. Altho underfoot the ground was wet and disagreeable during the day, the skies overhead were clear and the at mosphere moderate during Sunday and thousands of people, home folks am visitors, many from a great distance, thronged the streets .and sidewalks.' The air was too cool for the lav ish display of Easter dresses and fin ery such as usually characterizes this day in Winston-Salem, but the pretty spring hats and gay flowers on coats and suits added a touch of beauty to the scene, Salem was the Mecca tor thousands during the afternoon and a more lavish display of flowers, in the graveyards was never seen, many declaring tt the most beautiful display ever arranged. The churches on Sunday were" all filled to their capacity with attend ants' and the elaborate musical ' pro grams arranged were greatly enjoyed. The bright skies brought many visi tors from out ot town on the early morning trains and " many , remained for the festivities of today. The un usual storm of Friday and Saturday kept , hundreds of people away, no doubt, but those who did coriie found the traditional Salem welcome and were made to feel that Easter time is a most sacred and Impressive holiday to the people of this city and sur rounding country. Today is being observed as a local holiday. Practically all the stores were closed at noon. The postoffice also closed for the afternoon, while the banks and many ot the wholesale houses were closed all day. This aft ernoon the ball park is attracting many hundreds of baseball devotees watching the game between the Twins and the University:, boys, while the theatres are claiming their share of the populace., The graveyard is again the Mecca for hundreds and those who did not see the floral tributes yester day are taking advantage of this sec ond opportunity. Society (folk will be busy this week with their dances and receptions. Many visitors are here for the social functions and the Twin-City club af fair and 'private receptions will be largely attended.

GERMANY SAYS SEA Berlin, April 8, via wireless -A tre mendous increase in the activity of German submarines may be expect ed soon, it was stated at the admir alty. The officials asserted that their predictions as to the 'success bt the submarine blockade of England had been fully realized. "But the achievement thus far ac complished,' it was stated, "may be looked upon merely as a prospect of a tremendous increase ot activity to be expected in the near future iu this branch of warfare." Berlin newspapers display promi nent reprints of articles from tho British press dealing with alleged unsatisfactory recruiting results and the difficulty 1 ot securing, an ample supply 'of ammunition. Russian- Town Suffers. - The Russian town of Tauroggen suffered severely from shellQre be fore the Germans finally occupied it Other villages along the frontier have been fired and partly burned in the border fighting. .

Germany Protests. , London, April 3. A German pro test and threat ot reprisals on account ot the treatment by Great Britain of the prisoners taken on board German submarines was made 'public here? This protest was transmitted by Ger many to Great. Britain through the United States. The reply of Great Britain also was made public. The German government in its pro test asked whether Great Britain in tended to accord less favorable treat ment to captured German submarine crews than to other war prisoners and if so ' what form this discrimi nation would take. Germany states that it Great Britain adopted such it course, a British army officer held prisoner in Germany would receive correspondingly harsher treatment for each member of a captured German submarine crew. Foreign Secretary Grey, in his re ply, said that the prisoners ftora Ger man submarines had been placed in naval detention barracks and segre gated from other war prisoners, but were being treated humanely and permitted to take exercise. Further more, the foreign secretary said Ger man prisoners in England are better fed and clothed than are British, pris oners of equal rank in Germany, and the Germans are not suttfected to forced labor- ELECTION CALLED IN Greensboro, April S. An election was called today by the Guilford coun ty commissioners for a vote on the issue Mt; $250,000 county bonds to erect a new courthouse. The election was authorized,, ty a special act of the legislature. -The proposition far vored by the officers is for construc tion of an eight story building which will be partially devoted to commer cial use. It is the intention to use the first two floors for the county offi ces and to have the other six or eight as the case may be, devoted to office space for rent to lawyers and others. . This proposition has not net with universal favor. There is a wide spread objection to the city engaging In the task of .conducting an office building for profit This objection will be the chief one with which the fight against the bonds will be made. It is gener ally conceded that the county needs a new courthouse, for the- present one Is antiquated and inadequate tor the business of the county and the Super ior" court It is the belief that the election on the bonds will be close. GUILFORD FOR C. H BONOS-1250,000 UNITED STATESTO ION 1RLWEINT Secretaries Bryan and Daniels Comment on Effect of Prohi bition in England. DECLARE IT MEANS BETTER EFFICIENCY Action Expected to Have Impor tant Bearing on Question in This Country. Washington, April 3. -The sudden swing of the allied nations toward prohibition, forced, by the demandi for highest individual efficiency in their hour of .crisis,, has become here, as it is reported to be in England, the paramount item of interest in the war news. It is foreseen, first, that the estab lishment of prohibition in the Unit ed Kingdom' will have a deep influence upon the political situation in the United States in the next national campaign. The advanced position taken upon this issue by such mem bers of the administration as Secre tary of State Bryan and Secretary of the Navy Daniels makes the present trend with the allied nations a matter of peculiar interest and importance to Washington,,- Bryan's Views, , Secretary Bryan said: "It has been evident for some time that' the prohibition sentiment is growing throughout the world. The war has increased that sentiment. I can do no better than to refer to my recent speech at Philadelphia on the subject of abstinence. 'The European war is giving con clusive prof that total abstinence has Its value on the battlefield, Russia has gone to the extent of abolishing the sale of liquor, even though in doing so she sacrifices an annual revenue ot $400,000,000 in the mldat of war. The German emperor .Is an advocate of total abstinence. "The British government Is refus ing liquor to its soldiers, and in France the legislature is considering the liquor question. "If John Barleycorn Is a failure in a fight, who can respect him in time of peace? A man cannot advise oth ers not to drink when he himself drinks, Indulgence compels silence on the suibject" .'Means Efficiency, Says Daniels. "It is inevitable" said Secretary Daniels, "that I should appreciate any support which Is given to my conten tion that the highest military effic iency demands abstinence. So far as the navy is concerned, it is a matter of obtaining the highest individual ef ficiency for the officers and men, Just as railroads adopt such a course. "It has been said of my order that It tended to cause the public to think of the officers of the United States navy as men who drink to . excess Nothing Is further from the truth. "The nations ot the earth are com ing to realize that abstinence from al coholic liquors is essential to military efficiency, just as it is to industrial nd commercial efficiency, and to the very life of a nation," - Views of Senator Sheppard. National prohibition within five years, if not sooner .said Senator Mop ris Sheppard, of Texas,, leader of the dry forces in the senate, is the mean ing of England's declaration for pro hibition while the war lasts. "It means we will have a good chance to put our prohibition resolu tion through congress next winter," he said. "England's example, follow rag Russia's, will .give tremendous impetus to the movement In this coun try. The action taken will lead ulti mately to permanent prohibition." POLICE SEIZE WHISKEY AND BEER FROM NEGROES Officers' Wilson and Dalton raided the homo of Mary Martin, coloreu last Saturday armed with a search and seizure warrant and found ' 67 bottles of beer which aggregate a greater quantity than the law allows Mary was taken to police headquart ers and placed under a $200 bond for her appearance in the municipal court Tuesday morning. Another raid was made at the bom of James Hayes, also colored, on East Thirteenth street. They seized between two and three gallons of whiskey found in his possession, and he is also indicted for retailing whis key to his son. The last warrant was sworn out on the strengtn of the rec ords at the express office and facts developed that Hayes received rrotn his son money for a quantity of whis key. Ordering in his own name the father signed Cor the package at the express office and turned it over to the son, it is alleged. Hayes was plac ed under a 1400 bond for his appear ance for trial on Tuesday. EPISCOPALIANS TO RAISE FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND 1 The Episcopal church of the Unit ed States is endeavoring to raise 1400,000 for the cause of missions, this amount being needed in addition to the regular contributions ot the various dioceses for the year. The collection" at the 11 o'clock service at St. Paul's church will be contri buted to this fund. PROHIBIT DIVERS IKING TEST TO F-4 Go Down in Tube That Is to Be Used in Trying to Raise the Lost Submarine. DEEP-SEA EXPERTS ON WAY TO SCENE Men From Long Island Expect to Go Down Three Hundred Feet Or More. Honolulu, April 3. Repeated tests were made today of the diving tube constructed by engineers for the pur pose of facilitating the work of rais ing the submarine F-4. It is a week since the submarine went to the bot tom just outside the harbor here. Two divers experimented with the apparatus in the harbor, going down to considerable depths. It is understood that the tube proved satisfactory and it is expected that the divers will use it at the spot where the F-4 is believed to be lying. " Relief for Stricken Families. Lieut. C. E. Smith, commanding the submarine flotilla here, la engaged in assembling the salvage material available in this port and organizing his forces for thorough operations. Work will be begun, it is said, be fore divers and apparatus arrive from the mainland. A movement was begun In ' Hono lulu to raise a relief fund for the fami lies ot the crew entombed in the sub marine. Public memorial services will be held after the bodies are recovered. Rear Admiral Moors Reports. : Rear Admiral Moore, In charge of operations to raise the F-4, cabled the Navy Department that he was pro ceeding with the work, pending the ar rival of special diving apparatus and a corps ot expert naval divers from New York. The apparatus was forwaided to San Francisco to be shipped to , Honolulu on the cruiser Maryland. Rear Admir al Moore's 'dispatch stated that he "would not be able to report any pro gress for several days,": but that he was "making preparations to lift." The diving apparatus Is due to reach San Francisco late Monday night, and the live divers were under orders to proceed Immediately to embark on the Maryland. The divers are Gunner O. D. stlllson and Gunners' Mates Drel llshak, CrlUey, Neilson and Loughman. Divers to Go Down 300 Feet Dr. G. W. R. French, who has been observing their experimental work in long Island Sound for several weeks, will accompany the squad to Honolulu. That the divers were entirely confident of their ability to work on the ocean bed 300 feet or more below the surface was indicated in this statement by Secretary Daniels: "The navy deep divers have been down as deep as 274 feet In Long Isl and Sound, and are confident that they can work at a depth of 300 feet or more. Even with experience, how. ever, there is considerable risk In div ing operations at such great depth. "I am determined to do all that Is humanly possible in order to ascer tain the cause of the disaster in order to avoid a repetition ot this. Unless the accident was of such a nature as a rtianhlo the men in the boat almost instantly, it is practically certain that some of the personnel womu records showing what happened, REV. S. L.
