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 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 óñe 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 arIn cs than Germany and Japan, and air. üanleiB and the general board hoi love in the battleship unit ns the necessary line along which tho navy Should advance. Naval men concede, however,-that Congress will consider Using the appropriation usually made for.on o battleship for building 28 new submarines. > ? One of the chief recommendations the navy will make will be an Increase 'lit personnel, lt is estimated 18,000 mpre men are needed- More torpedoes ejeo will lh> uBked for. The army will appeal for more am¬ munition. Tho shortage in cholla and Other munitions has been emphasized fer many years without congressional ^j^moni-/More ney*, artillery ¿nd ÎS- inch boast dófenáe guns also will be urgently roquoBf./d. What'Secretary Garrison will seek chiefly,, howevor, is a definite settle¬ ment by congress of the much debsted problem of an adequate regular army, ft :1s understood he will reiterate in groa ter dotai) and with more empha¬ sis, this view, expressed in bis last report:, "For some years the army war col¬ lege section of tho genere! staS and Tcera throughout the service have working with great earnestness diligence'and enthusiasm for the »blfahraem, oí a definite national itary policy, the spread or mill- knowledgo among the people and creation of-a military reserve force to' the end that there abell be in all the watt» of life an increasingly largo number of men with a sufficient mili¬ tary knowledge to make them better prepared for the service ot their coun¬ try.

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¬ próles 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 ÍB 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* thererore dead. The firm offered to buy some of the bonds. invitations have been sent out by the Columbia Chamber of Commerce for the conference in Conimbia on No¬ vember' zs, when an attempt will be made to rejuvenate the State Fair. Members of the executive committee of the fair society and'a special com¬ mittee of five will altend the confer¬ ence when Columbia's aid in making the. fair a .success will be asked. Ev- iry county in the State will be ask- I d to join in Ute movement for a treater fair in 1916. Agriculture and live stock will be stressed.

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 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. Trade between the* United- States and those countries in some cuses virtually bas come to a complete stop, and in others has been seriously hindered. Foreign exchange has been badly demoralized. In con¬ sequence of these extraordinary con¬ ditions,, it has. been impossible to obi tain in the .usual ways the large amount ot cash required to liquidate the indebtedness incurred in the course of raising and marketing tho cotton crop. " *.:'. .>. ; "To meet this situation the plan in question has been proposed.

(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. 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.

G.-SecretariesGarrison and Daniels in their forth¬coming annual reports will lay beforeCongreBB tho lessons they believe thcAmerican army and navy should drawfrom the war in Europe. No extraord¬inary expenditures will be asked, butmethods obtaining a mobile and ade¬quate army and a powerful and effi¬cient fleet will be discussed In greatdetail.
Secretary Garrison will emphasizethe necessity for a definite, permanentmilitary policy. Secretary Daniels willrecommend two battleships but prob¬ably will ask for authority to expenda 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 thatóñe should be a sea-going vessel, prac¬tically twice the size of these used incoast patrol. Such submarines accord¬ing to naval officers, will he the mostpowerful in the world, able to accom¬pany, the fleet anywhere. Europeansubmarines have been able to make]only comparatively short voyagesfrom their bases.There ts every likelihood that Secre¬
tary Daniels will ask for a secondL-ubmarlno of tho sea-going type andthe usual number aoven or eight smal¬ler submarines for coart and harbordefense. While submarines have at-traded mont attention, naval strate¬gists do not believe tuero should belany .change in the permanent plansof 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 moroe ilhmarIncs than Germany and Japan,and air. üanleiB and the general boardhoi love in the battleship unit ns thenecessary line along which tho navyShould advance. Naval men concede,however,-that Congress will considerUsing the appropriation usually madefor.on o battleship for building 28 newsubmarines. > ?
One of the chief recommendationsthe navy will make will be an Increase'lit personnel, lt is estimated 18,000mpre men are needed- More torpedoesejeo will lh> uBked for.The army will appeal for more am¬
munition. Tho shortage in cholla andOther munitions has been emphasizedfer many years without congressional^j^moni-/More ney*, artillery ¿nd ÎS-inch boast dófenáe guns also will beurgently roquoBf./d.What'Secretary Garrison will seek
chiefly,, howevor, is a definite settle¬ment by congress of the much debstedproblem of an adequate regular army,ft :1s understood he will reiterate ingroater dotai) and with more empha¬sis, this view, expressed in bis lastreport:,"For some years the army war col¬

Northern Banks SubscribeFour-Fifths of Their Share
Secretary McAdoo Announces That $80,000,000 Had Been Raisedand the Remaining $20,000,000 of the $135,000,000 Cotton
Loan Fund to Be Raised in the North Was in Sight.
(By Associated Press.)WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Pour-fifths
of the share of northern bank* in the$185,000,000 cotton loan fund has boensubscribed, and unless bankers boldback for fear that consummation ofthe loan plan will be held in violationof the Sherman anti-trust law, theremainder soon will be forthcoming.
Secretary McAdoo announced todaythat $80,000,000 had been raised amongnorthern bankers, and that the re¬maining $20,000,000 to be subscribedin the North was in sight At thesame time it beeame known that cer¬tain bankers who had been countedon bud become reluctant to enter thoplan unless assured that that Utemethod by which the loan is beingraised does not violate the Shermanlaw.Such a fear was characterized by
Mr. McAdoo as pure "buncombe." ltis kuown, however, that the objec¬tion was considered by some authori¬ties sufficiently serious to bring a re¬quest for an opinion from AttorneyGeneral Gregory as to the plan's le¬gality. Distrust has come largelyfrom New Et t;land.
It was reported tonight that whenthe fund first was discussed thisquestion 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- wasno violation of the law, that the fundwas to be raised voluntarily and thatits 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 theattorney general, was sufficient formost of those asked to contribute. Itfailed, however, to convince the NewEnglanders. Their contributions,probably necessary to complete suc¬cess of the plan, are understood tohave been pledged contingent upon afavorable opinion by Attorney Gener¬al Gregory himself.Lawyers outside the treasury de¬
partment are for the most part of theview that no violation of the Sher¬man law can result. It generallywas predicted tonight that that viewwould be concurred in by Mr.. Greg¬ory, and that complete success of theplan will be announced shortly.Attorney General Gregory and Sec¬
retary McAdoo conferred for an hourtonight and later it was reported thatMr. Gregory had upheld his subordi¬nates tn the opinion that the loanplan could not be construed to be inviolation of the Sherman, act or anyother law. No announcement waamade, however, and although thc at¬torney general carried P. memoran¬dum to the treasury, lt was said nowritten opinion had been prepared.
