2 BATTLESHIPS AMERICAN ARMY AND NAVY SHOULD DRAW LESSONS FROM WAR IN EUROPE MORE MEN NEEDED Secretaries Garrison and Daniels! Preparing Annual Reports to Submit to Congress. I WASHINGTON, Nov. G.-Secretaries Garrison and Daniels in their forth coming annual reports will lay before CongreBB tho lessons they believe thc American army and navy should draw from the war in Europe. No extraord inary expenditures will be asked, but methods obtaining a mobile and ade quate army and a powerful and effi cient fleet will be discussed In great j detail. . Secretary Garrison will emphasize the necessity for a definite, permanent military policy. Secretary Daniels will recommend two battleships but prob ably will ask for authority to expend a lump Sum for submarines. ' The work of submarines in tho Eu ropean war hes recalled that last con gress appropriated moro than $4,000,- ! ?0.0 for submarines and specified that j ??e should be a sea-going vessel, prac tically twice the size of these used , in coast patrol. Such submarines accord ing to naval officers, will he the most powerful in the world, able to accom pany, the fleet anywhere. European submarines have been able to make] only comparatively short voyages from their bases. There ts every likelihood that Secre tary Daniels will ask for a second | L-ubmarlno of tho sea-going type and the usual number a oven or eight smal ler submarines for coart and harbor defense. While submarines have at . traded mont attention, naval strate gists do not believe tuero should bel any .change in the permanent plans | of tho general board for two battle ii 1)3 a year and a proportionate mini lr of auxiliaries and submarines. ,,\The United States already has moro e il hm ar In cs than Germany and Japan, and air. ?anleiB and the general board hoi love in the > battleship unit ns the necessary line along which tho navy .

Mc laurin, State warehouse commfssion or, has oppiied his office in the old state dispensary building In Colum bia. Clemson College, the State-depart ment of agriculture and the United States farm demonstration work will next week begin u campaign to urge thu farmers to plant more grain. It was decided at a conference here to day to begin the campaign In Laurens next week, then tv> Anderson, Green ville and Spartanburg, and Gaffney. A grain elevator for Bennettsville was commissioned toduy with a capi tal of $8,000. J. A. Brown, convicted in Spartan burg for violating the dispensary law, and sentenced to two years or a line 4? $2,000, was paroled today. A parole was granted to Albert Charping, con vict:! in Anderson for house breaking and larceny and sentenced to five years. Tbe Governor today appointed Ro land P. Traynham of Laurens as Mag istrate to succeed W. T. Crows. Several cotton warehouses were commissioned today. It was decided today by the State committee to abandon the movement for a South Carolina building at the Panama Exposition. Nearly 100 cotton warehouse com pr?les have been organized in South Carolina since the cotton season be gan. It is expected that many of these companies will make application for a commission as a State warehouse. Various estimates have been placed on the amount of-cotton that can be stored in the warehouses of the state. Insurance experts in Columbia declare tbat not more than 6,000 bales can be housed in the steel building at the fair grounds. The warehouses are located in every county in the Stute and it ?B believed that.there ls enough room to care for the surplus crop. Full plans as to tho operation of tho State Warehouse System will bo an nounced next week by Commissioner John L. McLaurln. There has been no decrease in the sale of fertilizer by the companies aa compared with the same date in 1913. This information waa given by the Columbia companies. The farmers of the State are planting more grain than.ever. The planting of grain is be ing urged by the demonstration forc es, and Clemson College. Since the -ad vent of the war tho agents have jent out. more, than 800,000 pieces of litera ture relative to grains. The farmers are in great need of seed just now. Advices received In Columbia are that the St Louis plan for financing the cotton crop is soon to be put into effect That the plan will be a suc cess was the opinion expressed by Edwin W. Robertson of Columbia, who is ono of the original promoters of the plan to. raise a pool of $150,000, 000 to bo loaned to the farmers on their cotton. There must be some money in tba country some where," said an official in tho office of the Secretary of state yesterday upon receipt of a letter from a bond brokerage firm of Cin cinnati asking for Information as to the proposed bond issue of 924,000,?. 000. The'people did not vote on the issus Buu lue law it* the re rore dead.

Grow Grain Eftort Will Be Made to Interest Every Farmer in South Caro lina in Great Movement Anderson county farmers do not1 need to be told tbat in the planting of grain lies the solution of the cot ton problem. They have already fig ured lt out and are now making their plans to plant more grain in Ander son county than people around here ever saw before. However, they are nevertheless interested In the effort, shortly to be made, to round the fa - mers of others sections of the Sta e into line. Plans for a whirlwind campaign n South Carolina to interest the farmers in the growing of grains are being worked out by officials of the State department of agrieu ure, the United States farm demonstration forces and Clemson college. A conference is to bo held this week between Commis sioner Watson and W. W. Long, State agent for the demonstration work and the Clemson extension work.) when the campaign will be discussed and the speakers selected Tentative arrangements provide for several parties to visit all of the counties. From five to six meetings will be held each day. Short ad dresses will be delivered on the neces sity of planting grain and questions asked by farmers will be answered. Automobiles will be used to make the trip over the State. The campaign In the interest of thc "live at home" movement will be j launched as a result of the law pass el* by the general assembly reducing the cotton acreage in South Carolina In 1915. NO VIOLATION OF ANTI-TBTJST LAWS (Continued From First Page.) called Sherman net, the so-called Clayton act and the trade commission act)' would be violated in any respect by the carrying out of a plan which has been devised for raising and ad ministering a fund of $135,000,090 to be lent on the security pf cotton. A cony of,the plan is attached hereto. ? "Countries which take annually about 8,000,000 bales ot American cot ; ton-more than half the crop, are now engaged in war.

(By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Pour-fifths of the share of northern bank* in the $185,000,000 cotton loan fund has boen subscribed, and unless bankers bold back for fear that consummation of the loan plan will be held in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, the remainder soon will be forthcoming. Secretary McAdoo announced today that $80,000,000 had been raised among northern bankers, and that the re maining $20,000,000 to be subscribed in the North was in sight At the same time it beeame known that cer tain bankers who had been counted on bud become reluctant to enter tho plan unless assured that that Ute method by which the loan is being raised does not violate the Sherman law. Such a fear was characterized by Mr. McAdoo as pure "buncombe." lt is kuown, however, that the objec tion was considered by some authori ties sufficiently serious to bring a re quest for an opinion from Attorney General Gregory as to the plan's le gality. Distrust has come largely from New Et t;land. It was reported tonight that when the fund first was discussed this question was raised, and that a repre sentative of the reserve board con sulted department of Justice officials. At that time it was the opinion of the official consulted that thei- was no violation of the law, that the fund was to be raised voluntarily and that its purpose was not td restrain com petition or reise prices, but to ex tend aid in making loans to produc ers. That opinion, though not from the attorney general, was sufficient for most of those asked to contribute. It failed, however, to convince the New Englanders. Their contributions, probably necessary to complete suc cess of the plan, are understood to have been pledged contingent upon a favorable opinion by Attorney Gener al Gregory himself. 1 Lawyers outside the treasury de partment are for the most part of the view that no violation of the Sher man law can result. It generally was predicted tonight that that view would be concurred in by Mr.. Greg ory, and that complete success of the plan will be announced shortly. Attorney General Gregory and Sec retary McAdoo conferred for an hour tonight and later it was reported that Mr. Gregory had upheld his subordi nates tn the opinion that the loan plan could not be construed to be in violation of the Sherman, act or any other law. No announcement waa made, however, and although thc at torney general carried P. memoran dum to the treasury, lt was said no written opinion had been prepared.
