Tne letter also attributed to Pres- ident Wilson a suggestion that “this country was not willing that we ghould take any risks of war. Fortunately, I kept a diary in those days” said Mr. Daniels. “Here s ex- actly what happened at that cabinet meeting in February, before we had en- tered the war: President Wilson turned to me and asked: ‘Daniels, why have the British not convoyed their ships? “In’ reply I informed him that the policy of the British admiralty was against the convoy, that after long ex- perience in the war the merchant cap- tains preferred to take their chances sailing singly than' in convoy formation, and that they regarded it more dangerous in U-boat zones to sail in company un der convoy than for each merchant ship to go on its own. I added that some of our naval officers of high rank heid th same view.

TEMPERANCE WORKERS WILL MEET IN NOVEMBER Philadeiphia, Oct. 25.—Wearers of the white ribbon of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, representing nearly every nation in the world, will assem- ble here November 11-16 in the eleventh convention of their organization. Two great objects of the convention are an- nounced as follows: “The enlistment of every civilized .counbeyri world in the anti-liquor cause, and the develop- ment of a determined offensive against the movement to modify or repeal the United States dry amendment and stat- utes.” A polygiot prohibition petition which, when rolied up tight, fills seven huge Packing cases, and which contains eight million signatures set down in more than 50 languages, will be unrolled and drap- ed about the hall of assembiage in the Philadelphia Academy of Music. Delegates from abroad will come pre- pared to make a careful study of o methods used by American women (0 win the country to the prohibition cause and also those used for its enforcement now that the .country is legally dry. The visitors from Finland and Scandina- vian countries, where prohibition has been tried in modified form, will focus their attention on the enforcement phase of prohibition, that being the most troublesome part of their own lswe. W. C. T. U. representatives from China, Japan, Ceylon, South Africa, Burma, India, Australia and New Zea- land will be present prepared to listen |attentively to the stories of the experi- |ence of anti-liquor crusaders, in- differ- ent parts of the world, also to lay the tales of their own experiences before the convention for counsel and _criticism. From Mexico, Cuba and South America generally will come a host of women, many of whom were present at the re cent Pan-American Suffrage conference, Western Europe will be amply represent- ed. Ireland will send its quota and Scot- land, which in recent years has been a battieground of the prohibitionists and the supporters of John Barleycorn, will send its band of determined women. At the opening of the convention the organization will lack but a few months of being 50 years in_existence. Its white banner has been visible where- ever war against liquor or cigarette smoking has been waged. The reports received at the convention are expected to furnish a barometer of the state of prohibition in évery nation in the. world. Due to the death of Lady Carlisle, president of the world organization last year, Miss Anna A. Gordon, vice presi- dent, will be chairman at the conven- tion.
