Government Prepares
For Naval Warfare
Along Shores.
CUSTOMS BUREAU'S ORDER.
Boats Must Be Registered and Licenses
Taken Out Under New
Ruling.
i Washington, June 12.?In preparation
for a time when naval warfare
I may be brought close to American
shores, the customs bureau today issued
drastic regulations covering
the conduct of vessels in harbors
along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
coast. In addition to requiring the
regsitration of every boat more than
I twenty fee long, except vessels registered
in foreign or coastwise trade
the regulations forbid all navigation
within the harbor after dark except
for necessity traffic permitted
I by the port captain or collector.
| Licenses will not be issued to
I boats doing junk business and the
i licensing of chandlers' vessels will
I be limited to the few required for
I harbor needs. These may transport
9 articles to and from vessels in the
harbor only by written permission
| of authorities. Vessels in coastwise
I travel will be required to report
their leaving and arrival unless they
have special permits.
In addition every officer and member
of a crew of vessels in coastwise
travel including yachts, pleasure
bo^ts, must obtain identification
y>ai>r)c onH o Vmrhor lirpnse will be I
I issued to no vessel which carries anyj
person not holding such a card.
This do?* net hcTJVcr, on
ferry or other passenger boats. ' j
No person may carry a camera on|
any vessel in harbor, except by permit
of port authorities or unless the
camera is deposited with the purser
during the journey.
Ferries also are excepted from
this regulation.

SPARKS SPEAKS.
I Col. Joe Sparks spoke in the Court
House on Wednesday afternoon, at
6:30, in the interest of the War
Savings Stamp campaign. He was
introduced by Mayor Mars, and in a
short but interesting talk made
plain to those people who heard him
the work which lies before us.
He emphasized the fact that the
people have not yet felt the effect
of the war, and that if we are to
win the war it must be won at home.
)
The people here, he said, were decaying
themselves of nothing in or-j
r^m to help the government in its i
Wkulties, but on the other hand
practicing every kind of ex-j
travagance to which we are accustomed.
He warned the people that
there must be an end of this if we
are to play our part in the winning
of the great conflict.
He gave some valuable advice on
the way the money is to be raised.

have as yet not assumed any of the
burdens of the war in the way of
purchasing Liberty Bonds should
come forward and buy the War Savings
Stamps. No man he said,
should be excused, it being the intention
of the government to secure
the name of every man who refuses
to assist the governmnt with
his rasons for so doing, in order
that the government may know who
are its friends.
Every man is expected to do his full
part. No one can buy more than
one thousand dollars worth of these
stamps, and there should be a large
Limit Club in Abbeville County,
that is a large number of people who
are willing to buy the limited
amount of one thousand dollars.

The President's Appeal

TO BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS!

The President of the United States i:
has called upon the loyal men and | i;

j dent's solemn appeal?we must sign i
j the pledges, not because we feel |
forced to, but because it is an op-js
j portunity for us to help win the t
J war. The pledges should be signed 1
J cKteerfully, willingly, gratefully. I
women of America to pledge them- j t
selves .to save for victory. He has; l
issued an earnest appeal to all j B
Americans to buy war savings j
stamps as regularly as possible, in-;
vesting in this form of security the ^
j money saved through avoiding need- ^
j less expenditures. ~
"The 28th of June ends this spe- c
j cial period of enlistment in the j t
greatest volunteer army of produc-' q
tion and saving here at home. MAYj
THERE BE NONE UNENLISTED | g
ON THAT DAY."

What loyal American will refuse i t

| the executive head of this nation, | e
land the commander-in-chief of ouri
I
j armed forces? j f
We have the opportunity to enlist jg
in this "volunteer army of produc-| 1
tion and saving." In Germany, it] t
is a matter of compulsion. The t
iron hand of the German autocracy: o
forces it harshly upon the German i
: people, depriving them not merely; ^
j of luxuries, but of the barest neces-! v
sities of life. We are asked in|j.
i America to voluntarily postpone our; v
needless luxuries so that our sol-: g
1 diers and sailors may not lack their ;
necessary equipment. What the j r
' German nation does under rigid v
compulsion, certainly Americans;
j will do in a mild way voluntarily. .
i It is unthinkable that there is a
e
j man, woman, or child in America .
I who will refuse to sign the pledge j ^
to save and to invest a portion of.
j the savings in war savings stamps, j

lore than 1,000,000 American fightng
men will be in service in France
n the near future, declared Secreary
Baker in an address today to
37 graduates of the United States
nilitary academy.
Supplementing his recent aninimcpmeTit
in -Washington that Un
ted States troops, "exceeding 700,100
in number," have disembarked
n French soil the secretary told the
adets, "it is not unfair to speculate
hat we will shortly pass the 1,000,i00
mark."
Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of
taff, said that neither the menace
f raiding German submarines' off
he Atlantic coast, nor the territoral
gains of the enemy on the westrn
front, will affect America's pol:y
of sending men to France as
ast as ships can carry them. Today's
Taduation was that of the class of
919, whose members were awarded
heir diplomas a year ahead of
ime because of the urgent demand
f trained officers.
Mr. Baker, who awarded the
liplomas, told the graduates they
/ere destined to have a part in leadng
the armies of the nation to a
ictorious peace. "After that," he
aid, "as officers of the regular army
ou will prepare not for war, but be
eady for another war if anybody
i-ants to make it."
Mr. Baker declared that the Unted
States became a belligerent beause
"Germany tried to crush inlividual
human happiness and libery
which we call the theory of demo
racv."
