L3 GET YOUR WAR DANIELS SPEAKS ON PRESENT PROGRESS World Has Advanced Century Since 1916, Says Secretary of the Navy CLEAN YOUTH NECESSARY IN SOLVING OF PROBLEMS Man Has Conquered World, Earth, Sea, and Air; Must Now Conquer Self One hundred years, in progress, have passed since the beginning of the war, and the man that expects to succeed today must be a century in advance of the man of 1916 in ideas and ideals, was the theme of an address delivered before 450 students of the State College in the college Y. M. C. A. last night by Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels.

The auditorium of the building was filled to capacity. The meeting was opened and closed with community singing, Mr. King happened to see Mr. Charles Butler, formerly one of Rev. Mr.

William Sunday's singers. He called him to the platform Mr. Butler finished program with a the song and two poems. The American Record. Mr.

Daniels commented on seeing the college men still in uniform, and said he was glad that military training was to be continued at the State College, though dropped at other North Carolina institutions. "It is a great thing to belong to a country withh a passion for peace," he said. "A country that hates war. We may also be proud that when the time came to make a decision we always had more men wanting to fight than we had guns with which to supply them. "They said of "they fought like devils, but behaved- like It been long time since boys had been called upon to fight; generation had passed without this country's going war.

It was often said that the men of this generation were soft and lacked the sturdy qualiof their fathers. The has refuted that statement. A Young Man's World. "Everything today depends on the young take little interest in old men. I can say that with perfect sincerity, for I never expect to belong to that crowd.

When a man becomes old in heart, in mind, in ambition, in zeal, he should stand aside; no place in a world of enthusiasm and faith. "This world is built on faith. There would have been no victory had the end been forseen ffom the beginning. Think of a man going over the top and knowing exactly what the end of the charge was to be. Everything was in the faith of the men who fought.

"One thing about the American young man in this business: there would have been no vietory, either, if they had not fought well in the supreme hour. The reason they conqueted the foe easily was that they had conquered themselves first. Clean Fighters. "Dr. Finney, of the medical co corps of the United States Army, was everywhere in training camps, recreation huts and trenches, says that in eighteen months ho saw only 18 men under the influence of intoxienting liquor, even where the men were subjeeted to temptation greater than those they ever met in this country.

"It has been one hundred years since we went to war--I mean, there have been one hundred years of progress during this war. You men will solve problems in the next few years and meet questions that would have staggered your father. We are now on the threshold of the time when man shall master the air as he has the problem of transportation on the surface of the earth. Science and skill have enabled us to conquer every element. Man must next conquer his own passions and appetites.

The man of the future will stand free and straight, 1111- hampered by the vices that have debauched the men of preceding genera- tions. Leaders of the Future. "The young man of the new generation, in order to solve these great problems, must enter the future with clear eyes and clean bodies. Only such men can qualify as leaders in human netivities. The Y.

M. C. A. and kindred organizations have done much to educate the men in the army and navy to this view. The victory you shall win over your vagrant thoughts is the greatest victory you shall ever win, and it will be a victory worthy of the country that produces such life." Mr.

Daniels also touched on the battie of the second division of Marines at Chateau Thierry, after which, he said, "There was not a man in France of high position that did not know that the war was over." He also stated that the State College men were doing well and making records of which the institution could be proud. Butler Sings. It was after the final community song that Mr. King called Mr. Charlie Butler to the platform.

Mr. Butler responded that he had come merely to have the chance of meeting Mr. Daniels, and that he was going to stay 80 that he could boast in after years how he had spoken from the same platform as the Secretary of the Navy. After a few words on his stay in Raleigh he recited James Montague's poem on the Navy, and sang his own version of Lauder's battle song: "The Laddies That Fought and Won." For an encore he recited a short poem, giving the Englishman's point of view toward a surrendering and Louder's poem, "Granny's Laddie: One of the Boys Who Went." BOOK NOTICE.

STAMPS I THE NEWS BIG FEDERAL RAID IN EAST RALEIGHI Seven Women and Four Men Caught in Houses When Officers Enter FIVE ARE DEFENDANTS, OTHERS TO BE WITNESSES Louise Price, Clara Allen and Blanche McCade Among Those Under Arrest Seven women and four men were caught in alleged bawdy houses of East Raleigh Saturday night in a raid by agents of the Department of Justice, Federal officers, military and city The raid was in charge of Special Agent Frederick C. Handy, of the Department of Justice, assisted by about fifteen aides. Those caught in the raid are Louise Price, 534 East Davie street; Clara Lester Allen, 540 East Davie street; Blanche MeCade, Green street; Nitney Cotton, colored, 507 East Davie street; Juanita Mitchell, colored, East Davie street; Gertrude Copeland and Rose do Barre, negro servants of Louise Price; G. W.

McConnell, South Bloodworth street; banks, of Wake county; R. H. Parham, contractor of High Point; T. G. Ferrell, of Raleigh, Route 3.

Louise Price, Blanche MeCade, Clara Allen, Nanoy Cotton and Juanita Mitchell are charged with immoral conduct within the five-mile zone of an army camp in violation of a special act of Congress of 1917. The four men and two negro servants of Louise Price recognized under bonds of $50 were, witnesses against the five defendants. Arraigned before United States Commissioner J. P. Batchelor, the defend-, ants all pleaded not guilty and were held for trial at different times this week.

Louise Price and Clara Allen were liberated on $500 bond ench. Louise Price gave a cheek for $1,000 to guarantee her own and Clara Allen's presence at the trial. Blanche MeCade gave $1,000 bond. Nancy Cotton and Juanita Mitchell furnished $500 bonds. As evidence to be used against the defendants, the raiders gathered up a number of bottles containing whiskey, rye and blockade, and also empty bottles which had held whiskey.

Some of the whiskey was taken from the men found in the houses. The raid had several elements of interest, including the escape of several who displayed unusual athletic ability in vaulting fences and dodging around corners. The officers made their visit to the section suddenly and quickly but it did not take the people there long to learn what was going 011. The alarm was quickly given and so suddenly did some lights go out that Agent Handy still wonders if one switch controls lights in more than one house. The work of arraigning the defendants and recognizing witnesses consumed over an hour, but Commissioner Bachelor's office presented a crowded scene at midnight.

NO WORD FROM SON SINCE SEPTEMBER 23 Mr. and Mrs. Harry Becker, of -this city, have not heard from their son, Carl Becker, since September 23. At that time he was with Company but his parents looked in vain for his name in the roster of the company as printed yesterday morning in the News and Observer. Young Becker left here with a company of Coast Artillery, but later, according to information received by his parents, was transferred to Company B.

As his name not appear either in the list as published yesterday his parents are mystified. Mr. Becker has written many letters in an effort to seeure information as to his son's I whereabouts. AND GROUNDHOG WAS CAUSE OF FLOOD Local Descendent of Original Groundhog Tells How It Happened BUT HE SAW HIS SHADOW: MEANS 40 DAYS WINTER Says He Will Instruct Weather Bureau That Cold Season Isn't Over Yet Mr. Aardvark?" What's In a Name? "Please go 'way and let me sleep.

I don't want to be I have nothing to say for publication." "But what do you think of the prospective weather?" "What do you think I am; a weather bureau?" aren't you the Official Ground Hog and representative of your tribe for this district?" Mr. A. Aardvark paused and considered. To be sure, he had heard of how people got rid of reporters, but this one seemed to be rather persistent. In the first place, the reporter had gotten the ground hog out with an alarm clock and the small animal objected to being disturbed.

Too Much Sunlight. "I wish you'd beat it," he answered petulently, taking care to make his sleepy yawn apparent to the reporter. "Here you come at this date--you say it's February 2, and I suppose you must knok- disturb my slumbers with one of those uncivilized alarnis and get mo out where the sun SO bright I don't dare open my eyes." "I'm very sorry, said the reporter in an unconvincing tone, "but the question is: now that you are up, are going to stay up, or are you going back to sleep like a t. b. m.

on Sunday morning? And why do you call yourself "That's my name," said the g. h. with dignity. "A scientific gentleman wit! whiskers as long as my snoot gave it to me years ago, and I've had it ever since. It's handy in winter he confessed.

"You see, nobody knows it means me, and so my creditors pass by my burrow don't bother me. But you reporters-" and he sighed as only a ground hog can. "If I could look around and see if there are any ants for breakfast, I could decide about staying up," he grumbled, rubbing his eyes with both paws. Then he opened them and started slowly to view a Carolina landscape. Suddenly he started, and with a snort of disgust darted toward his bur- row.

Forty Days. the matter?" asked the re- porter. "Matter enough," half squealed, half grunted Mr. Aardvark. "Can't you see that I'm being shadowed? And you knew it all the time and didn't tell me." didn't know it myself," lied the reporter.

"Don't try to bluff me," said the g. h. "I might have known that if the sun hadn't been shining you wouldn't have been this far out in the country. But I'll get even. I'm going word to the weather bureau by my private underground system that Raleigh and vicinity are to have bad weather for forty days." About the Flood.

"'And rained for forty days and forty misquoted the reported. "I wonder if Noah hurt the feelings of the only ground hog in existence?" "My! Ain't you bright," said the g. sarcastically. "But I'll tell you for your own information, not for publication, that you have hit on the real reason for the flood. Noah forgot to reserve the forward cabin, deck for Mr.

and Mrs. Aardvark and sohe broke off with another yawn. "It won't be that bad this time. Anyway, I'm going back to sleep!" and a minute later his snores were mingling with the chirping of the returning song birds. DONATION OF VETERANS GRATEFULLY RECEIVED Sharing of Allowance With Armenians Called 'Perfectly Beautiful' Act The veterans of the Soldiers' Home who gave a quarter out of their dollar monthly allowance to the Armenian relief fund received a letter of acknowledgement that they regard as abundant reward for their willingness to share with the Armenians.

It came from Mrs. Stella D. Whipkey, assistant secretary of the New York committee for Armenians and Syrian relief, and was as follows: "Mr. J. F.

Weathersbee, "North Carolina Soldiers' Home, "Raleigh, C. "Dear Mr. Weathersbee: "The account which you gave of the work of the members of the North Carolina Soldiers' Home was so interesting that I thought I wanted to answer it personally although you will receive an official receipt from the treasurer. "In the first place it is interesting to me to know that the soldiers receive spending money of a dollar a month. That seems small, and yet there are thousands people in New York very, City who do not have a dollar a month above their bare bed and board.

It is certainly interesting AS well as convenient that you always know what you are going to have. "But knowing that the amount. is so is perfectly wish that the limited, your generosity, sending it thousands of young people who have not learned the value of a dollar could read your letter and the clipping that you sent from the paper. "The Literary Digest article has brought in many gifts, large and small, but we are always touched most by those which bear a story of real devotion 1 and sacrifice such as yours. "With hearty congratulations on the success of your plan, and with deep gratitude to you and your friends, I am, "Sincerely yours, D.

WHIPKEY." GET YOUR WAR STAMPS I REV. GEO. D. ESTES BEGINS PASTORATE Delivers Sermon At First Christian Church On "Weapon of Certain Victory" POWER OF PRAYER IS THEME OF DISCOURSE Church Must Learn How To Pray, He Declares, If It Is To Go Forward "If a church is to go forward, it must get down to rock bottom and lear. how to pray," said Rev.

Geo. D. Eastes in his sermon at the First Christian church yesterday morning on "The Weapon of Certain Victory." This may in truth be called the opening sermon of Rev. Mr. Eastes in his work with the Christian church here, for he ouly hold services one Sunday in January, because the illness of Mrs.

Eastes REV. GEORGE D. EASTES. in Norfolk, prevented his taking up the work the first of this year, as planned. Rev.

Mr. Eastes based his discourse on the 12th chapter of Acts. This was at the period in the early church when Herod set out to destroy it. He killed James, the brother of John, and because he saw that it pleased the people, he took Peter also and put him in prison, intending to have him slain after the Easter time had passed. It was at this point that "The Weapon of Certain Victory" was brought into play, and "prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God" for the deliverance of Peter.

The church was having a great struggle against the mighty and wicked ruler, Herod, and when the only remaining leader of their faith was in prison and about to be slain, they went to God in agonizing prayer with faith that would not be denied. "I'm glad that time came in the history of the early church," said Mr. Eastes, "for it taught the people of the early church lesson--as should teach us of the present day." They had come to a time when they were themselves powerless to avert a great calamity so they turned to God in earnest petition, in a little home prayer meeting down at the house of Mother Mark, he added. It was through this agonizing, earnest prayer that God was noved through His angel to unloose the chains that bound Peter, and. thus set free the remaining leader of the early church.

In like manner continued the minister, it is only through prayer that a' church may move God to unloose the fetters that hold it back in any, undertaking.

MEETING HERE TO CONSIDER COTTON Tentatively Arranged To Discuss Ways and Means of Holding The Staple COUNTY AGENTS WILL HOLD A CONFERENCE Reduction in Acreage For Present Year Will Also Be Important Question Steps looking to the holding of cotton until a fair price can be realized and to the reduction of acreage for the coming year will be discussed at a conference of representative farmers, merchants and bankers, to be held in Raleigh probably on February 1.th, if the plans of a number of public spirited citizens of North Carolina, among whom are several high State officials, are carried out. The arrangements for this conference are still in a tentative stage but are expected to be completed within the next day or so. The movement for such a conference has been under way for the last several weeks and the suggestion has met with approval by leading farmers, merchants, bankers nad business men, who realize the absolute necessity of preventing the prevalence of a feeling of demoralization, which would upset business conditions. Conference of Agents.

The annual winter conference of the county agents and the home demonstration agents of the State will be held at West Raleigh on February 11, 12 and 13, which will bring to Raleigh 150 men, and women from every county in the State, half of them women and half men. It is realized that a well defined program of action, which could be taken back by them to the people of their respective counties, would be of farreaching importance. It is this fact which will likely determine the date of the conference. Dr. B.

W. Kilgore, director of the State extension work of the Department of Agriculture, has given careful study to the problems now confronting the cotton farmer of North Carolina and believes that a reduction in acreage of from a fifth to a fourth of what was produced last year would be a fair and equitable basis. He would favor a corresponding increase in stock growing and would also emphasize the continuance of the production of an ample supply of foodstuffs. How To Hold Cotton. One of the important questions to be taken up at the conference would be ways and means of holding cotton until a fair price can be secured.

This is a problem that vitally affects the merchant nad the banker. They have the opportunity to render a great public service by aiding the farmer in every way possible to avoid rushing his cotton to market, and how to do this would be one of the most important results of the conference now under consideration. The disposition on the part of some to become unduly frightened because 01' the decline in the price of cotton is not shared by conservative bankers and merchants. They feel that the average former in North Carolina has sufficient at hand to hold his cotton until such time as he desires to sell. They realize that money loaned on the basis 20-cent cotton would of necessity require additional security in the event that cotton went below that price, but they anticipate no difficulty on that score, as they believe that the average producer would be able to put up the additional collateral, if it were needed.

No Fear of Demoralization. It may be said that the conference is not being called because of fear that the cotton market will become demoralized but rather as means -of promoting the best interests of the farmer, banker, merchant or other business man in the same manner any other conference for the promotion of industrial conditions would be. There are some who feel that there should be as much as one-third reduction in the acreage, but Dr. Kilgore holds that this would apply rather to the Southern States further south, which produce cotton in greater bulk than North Carolina. One of the questions to be taken up at the conference will be the ratio of reduction that should be undertaken.

J. E. Underwood Delivers Sermon at Morning Service Edenton Street Church "We are learning today as perhaps never before the great truth that we are our brother's keeper," declared Rev.

J. E. Underwood, presiding elder of the Raleigh district of the Methodist church, in a sermon on Christian stewardship yesterday morning at Edenton Street church. His discourse, which was heard by a congregation that filled the church, was followed by the regular monthly communion celebration. "Give an account of thy stewardship," from the second verse of the 16th chapter of St.

Luke's gospel, was the text chosen for the occasion. Mr. Underwood explained that man's responsibility for his conduct in this necessary precedent to his accountability, there hereafter can be 110 without account- reability. Personal. the notable Responsibility remark To of God.

Daniel Webster that the greatest thought that ever came to his mind was his personal responsibility to God, the minister explained that if men and women everywhere could only realize this inportant truth, there would be far less frivolity and less waste of time and talents in the Mr. Underwood worldia down the broad principle that the inherent nature, of life itself involves responsibility because every endowment of body and mind is but an expression of God's free grace. To these endowments of nature, as we ordinarily term them, are added the responsibility of living in this great republic of opportunity for service to humanity, and the privilege of living in the greatest age of the world's history. The World's Greatest Age. Portraying the magnificent opportunities that lie on every hand, the speaker did not hesitate to believe that living ten years in the present day provided a greater field of opportunity for work and service than living for fifty years would have provided even a hundred years ago.

Mr. Underwood is optimistic as to the future and expressed that wish that every member "could visit the halls of the Legislature and see and realize how earnestly the legislators are striving to serve their day and generation." "I can realize when the sense of responsibility in our citizenship did not exist to the degree that it does now," said Mr. Underwood in speaking of Christian citizenship. "We are learning the great truth that we are our brother's keeper and that we are re- A Chin Chin Matinee Today at 3 O'clock Night Performance at 9 O'clock STOLEN Overland Little Six Touring Car was stolen from front of Capitol Apartments Saturday night, Feb. 1st.

Calling attention to the need of every man's realizing that he is a representative of God and that it is incumbent upon him to make the very best of life's opportunities, the speaker condemned unreservedly indolence and the disposition to "take things It was with rejoicing that the Christian people America have great, learned that national prohibition is at least a fact, explained Mr. Underwood, but we cannot now rest with the assurance that there is no more for us to do. All about us are thousands of people, who do not know saving power of the Gospel of Christ.

Mr. Underwood had no apology for preaching about money in the pulpit and cited numerous references in the Bible that urge the necessity of giving regularly and continuously. The more he had studied the Bible, the speaker explained, the more he had come to belive in the policy of regular and continuous giving to God's cause. Must Have Time Perspective. We cannot get a true perspective of life unless realize that all we have belongs God, Mr.

Underwood continued, and when we do that we will be willing to give a tenth of our income, if necessary, and the consciousness of having discharged our obligation as the testimony of thousands of men has shown, will enable us to make the remainder go as far or perhaps further than the entire amount would have done. Mr. Underwood did not urge the policy of giving a tenth except as indicating in a general way what men should give to the cause of the church. He rather emphasized the fact that we should give in proportion to what we have and what our incomes are.
