NO CAUSE FOR ALARM
OFF AMERICAN COAST
Biggest, Convoy Wauled lo
Wail When U-Boals Calnc,
But He Ordered It lo Go,
and Boldness Won Out
By a Staff Correspondent
Atlantic City, July 11.
Secretary of tlie Navy Daniels does
not contemplate n "dry zone" for
Philadelphia now.
"Conditions In Philadelphia have
Improved," ho said today In an Inter
view with an Evening PunLic ledger
representative.
Mr. Daniels, who camo hero to speak
at the "patriotic day" exercises of the
Klks' convention, was asked whether
the Philadelphia authorities had co
operated with the Government to his
satisfaction.
The Secretary shrugged his shoul
ders and Kmllcd. j
Vice, Condition Better
"Conditions have Improved mr.
TThat," lie replied, "but they are not per.
feet yet. Tliey begnn to get better nfter
I.leiilenuiil Colonel llulrli talked with
tlie Mayor.
' "So long n tlie city authorities uliow
n. disposition Ui nld, just an lone "I" I
let them work out the problem. Hut the
moment tliey relax I Hill tep hi mid In

"A five-mile 7one wouldn't acrom
pllsll the iitirtiosB of protecting tile men
in nervier. The only perfect zone would
bo from tlie North Pole to the South
role.
"fUernal vigilance," the Secretary
itald, was his attitude tbward Philadel
phia and other points sheltering large
bodies of sailors and marines.
Jlr. Daniels expressed the opinion that
the nation would ba "bone dry" after
January 1, 1919. The Secretary, whose
General Order No. 39 made the navy
dry four and a half yearn ago. said he
believed Congress would pass the pro
hibition amendment, whose supporters
won a 36 to 33 victory yesterday In
tb Senate. The ballot was on a test
votu
- No Cnuie for Alarm Off Coast
i "There U no came for alarm alone
the Atlantic const,'1 he asserted, n dis
cussing the l'-boat menace.
"As long as there Is a submarine In
tho ocean there will be danger," he
explained, "and one can always look for
the sinking of a ship or two. But the
fierman submarine policy along our
coastE was to instill fear. The first day
r mibmarlno was sighted off the At
lantic coast, tlie biggest convoy wanted
to wait a day or two. I ordered It to
start at once and It got through. safely.
"If there had been a delay of a day
or more, tho German purpose would
have been accomplished.
"When we entered the wnr, fierniany
said e couldn't train the nccemary
men. We trained nml are training them.
Then Oernmny snlil we couldn't supply
hlp enough. We Bupplled them. Then
their cry was we couldn't get the ,ahlp
arroim. They went over.
"The next claim was that our men
would be slaughtered when they met'
Prussian tctcrans."
Praise Marines
Tlie Secretary milled bioadiy as he
recalled the brilliant record of the ma
rines and other American fighting men
at the front.
"The marines have been particularly
successful, Jlr. Secretary."
"Conspicuously successful," he correct
ed. "Eighty-live per cent of the marines
urn sharnsdiooters and tliey excel when
hharnshootlng is tho essential. But our
fighting men will learn quickly enough.'
The navy head was silent on the re.
ported Impending Intervention of the
.Tnnanese hi the north of rtussia. He
refused to admit that now methods were
being employed by the navy In fighting
the submarines.
In dltrcusslng tnc broader aspects of
tlie war, he refeired to his chief, Presi
dent Wllac."
"The President has Initiative, grasp,
courage and boldness, when boldness Is
required," he sabl "Rashness, you
..know, is often disastrous. v
"No modern naval commander," he
asserted, "would say, like Farragut,
Damn the torpedoes; go ahead,' No
modern commander thus could dash
through the waters of Helgoland,
Say Science Will Win
The side that employs the newest
methods, combined with a knowledge of
old tactics, la the aide that will win,"
'was his dictum. '
And recalling that Kdlson and others
cf the nation's most brilliant men aie
laboring for the success of the Allied
arms, the Secretary radiated confidence
In the ultlmate'and complete triumph of
democracy over autocracy.
Tho Secretary was accompanied here
by Paymaster lleneral Samuel JlcGow
an. of the navy, and tho Secretary's
aide, Commander Joseph K. Daniels, a
submarine expert, who has just returned
from foreign waters. Mr. Daniels was
met here by a committee of Idles.
Preceded by the Philadelphia police
band, he vas conveyed, in a gaily decor
ated automobile, to his hotel.

Secretary Daniels Says
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
said today:
"Thn nation will he 'bone-dry1
after January 1, 1019."
"I do not contemplate a drj zone
at present In Philadelphia. Condi
tions there have Improved. Dut
they are not perfect yet. The mo

throw h dry zone about Philadel

perfect zone would he from the
North Polo to the South Pole."
"There Is no cause for alarm."
Jlr. Daniels sald. referring to
U-boats off the Atlantic coast.
"Tho biggest convoy wanted to
wait when the submarines came,"
he said, "but I ordered It lo start,
and It got through safely."

Secretary of War Baker Cays only 700,

Higher Rale Per Hour to Be

Carmen
Vt H.hlntrlon, July 11 The national
war labor board Is preparing to hand
down wage Increase awaids In the cases
of Twenty-fourth stieet car companies
whcjo employes appealcd( for higher
scales.
The hoard is expected to set a basic
rate considered a living wage, probably
fifty cents an hour. In addition higher
rales will he allowed for experienced
carmen.
Claims that higher wages ate impos
sible without higher fares are not ex
pected to Influence the hoaid's decision.
The board probably will tell the car
companies to carry this contention he
fore their State utilities commission or
other rate-making bodies In an effort
to secure increased operating revenue lo
meet the wage advances.
P. R. T. MEN TO SHARE .
INCREASE, IS BELIEF
As the Philadelphia Bapid Transit
Company was among those whose olll
clals recently conferred .vltli the Avar
labor board in. Washington, it is be
lleed that it will be affected in the
wage Increase awards and may have to
Increase fares lo meet the additional
financial burden.
Surprise was expressed by a repre
sentative of the company this afternoon
on Hearing of the reported early action
in the matter. It was generally believed
that all the testimony regarding the
various problems of the street railways
would not he submitted before June 22.
It was announced by the board at the
last meeting In Washington that tho
hearing of testimony would close on
that date and a decision be given before
August 1. There Is a possibility, how
ever,, tlie'.translt representative admit
ted, that the board had been 'confronted
with problems which required action at
an earlier date.
The fact that a large number- of
street railway employes aie leaving
their jobs to take up work In the
various war Industries tor better pay Is
also one of the reasons whv the board
will take more speedy action than was
first anticipated,

decided to work for themselves and
founded the company. Four months
later war was declared. MacAuley at

Lowe to manage the business.
All went well until July 2, 191R. when
Lowe obtained permission from his local

It is always dangeious to under

So far as physique goes, the pris

detachments of Americans among
them on July 4 were as sturdy a crowd
of men as I have seen since prisoners
first -came back from our battlefields,
and there was no sign of under-feeding
among Hiem. But when that has
been said, with sutllcleijt emphasis to
prevent any misunderstanding or false
optimism, one may allude to certain
signs of weakness among some of the
