GERMAN ALLIANCE IS FOR PERSONAL LIBERTY

Passes Resolutions Against Plan by Which Prohibition is Being Furthered Here.

SAJST FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 3.— Opposition to national prohibition was expected to take some tangible form today in the shape of a definite program at the second day's business session of the National German-American alliance of the U. S. Dr. C. J. Hexamer, Philadelphia, president, said tha sessions dealing with subject of prohibition would occupy a prominent part of the convention, which will conclude Saturday.

Report of Secretary Adolph Timm of Philadelphia, recommending that prohibition be opposed was adopted yes- ,, terday and steps were taken by some of the 500 delegates to formulate a plan of action. It was indicated that the alliance was not opposed to proj- hibihtion in itself but that in the meth*jy ods of gaining it were not likely to stamp out the drink habit. Education, it is contended, was a better means of $ moderating the consumption of liquor.

Jj Perpetuation of the German ideals by Germans who had become natural^ized Americans was advocated last &£& flight by Dr. Hexamer, who admonished the delegates that their first duty was to their adopted country, but at the same time to preserve the ideals £*1 of the fatherland and transmit them to their children.

PEACE DELEGATION REBUFFED.

British Adopt Motorboat

to Stop the Submarines

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. Great Britainls answer, to the German submanTie. is almost:ready.. At least., it is one answer, and it is ekpected to be an effective one.

The so-called war zone about the British Isles is to Lo constantly patrolled by an enormous fleet of extremely speedy motor boats, each of which will mount one or two quick firing guns.

Within a few months it is expected there will be several thousand of these sea wasps in commission. Orders have been already placed in the United States for 500 of them and the work of construction is far advanced.

Speed of 30 to 60 Miles.

The submarine hunters will be from sixty to eighty feet in length over all. They will be driven by gas engines which will send them through the water at from thirty to sixty miles an hour.

Their small size will make them a poor mark for torpedo attack, even if it were worth while to launch a missile which costs $8,000 in the chance of destroying a boat which—compared with other war crafts—is not expensive to build. Their great speed and ease of handling also will aid to make them almost invulnerable to attack by gun fire.

It is planned to guard the sea lanes with swiftly moving patrols of thsje armed motor boats. A number of them will be sent out to meet and convoy incoming munition ships and merchant men.

They will be fitted with searchlights, and once a screen of them has been formed about a liner it is not thought that any submarine will be safe in poking its periscope above the surface of the water within gun shot distance.

by the persident in which he had spoken of "mutual helpfulness" between the U. S. and the othfer American republics, and this gave rise to the belief that he had been thinking for some time past of joint PanAmerican action in Mexico. It is not believed, however, that the military operations are being contemplated as a next step.

It was recalled also that President Wilson a year ago accepted very gladly the "good offices" extended by the representatives here of Brazil, Argentine and Chile which led to the Mexican mediation conference at Niagara Falls.

July's Circulation at Library Over Twenty Thousand Books—Year's Report Cloeed.

'Twould seem that most of Terre Haute's population had turned book worms, much to the delight of Mrs. Sallie Hughes, librarian, who reported Tuesday that in the past year 281,011 books had been in circulation at the Fairbanks Memorial library. This is an increase of 100,714 books over last year. "It is almost phenomenal,*' Mr*Hughes said, thoroughly pleased that the library is so rapidly becoming of such importance to the reading public.

Mrs. Hughes was making up her ninth annual report Tuesday and her first one phowed that 86,749 books had been in circulation that year. "When we realize how the circulation le jumping, we just wonder what we are going to do to give it a big boost for the coming year," she said. "But I hope to have township extension circulation next year which will mean that the library will serve a much larger number of people. It will 'be of special Value to the school children. By levying a tax of one-half mill, the township would be eligible to the 'use of the library free. This 16vy" Would be made the first of September."

The library's circulation for the month of July was 20,920. "For the same period last year it .was 11,993. Mra. Hughes attributes'this large circulation for a summer month due to the fact that the summer has been cool so that people could enjoy reading, that many people have staid home this season instead of seeking summer resorts and that the summer schools have increased the demands.

Fines, rentals and payment for lost books for the month of July amounted to $59.

HENRY H- RAEBER (City building and plumbing inspector)—Syl Doyle is talking so much about that four-legged chicken of his that, although I am very modest in speaking of myself and my belongings, I am forced to put in a word. I've got a little canary bird that was bom at 10 o'clock in the morning and when I went home to lunch at 12, noon, it was whistling "It's a Long Way to Tipperary."
