Where, Oh, Where,
Has That "Dry
Navy" Gone?
Has the "dry navy" been
sunk without a ae
Or have the mungglers aboard
li quor ships taken them gap
Both these queries fell on
deaf ears today at prohibition
headquarters.
Reports that a few of the
sub-chasers loaned by the coast
guard, had slipped' out to sea,
n a war on rum boats, brought
a laugh from Commissioner
Haynes, but nothing confirma
rohibition officials still in
sist that their "navy" must
maneuver in absolute secrecy,
if at all, to outwit the liquor
enemy. -
CRITICISM BAD
FOR RILBOADS,
WILLAR SAYS
B. & 0. Head Says Congress
Is Hampered In Solving
Problems.
Dr 1steettesel News Ssrle.
Daniel Willard. president of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, today
told the Senate Interstate Com
mere Committee that "too much
criticism on both sides" was hinder
ing the efforts of Congress to solve
the American transportation puasle.
Answering criticism leveled at
him by William G. McAdoo, the for
mer director general of railroads,
Willard said he had not attempted
to reply in a "critical manner" to
McAdoo. but that he wasn Inclined to
believe the "real merits of the ques
tions actually before the committee
have been obscured and made more
difficult of ascertainment" because
of the constant heckling on the part
of the various persons and interests
involved in the railroad problem.
"What the railroads need more
than anything else at the present
time," Willard said, "is an oppor
tunity under the terms of the
(Each-Cummins) act to work out
their problems without unnecessary
and burdensome Interference; and I
have the utmost confidence that
they will successfully surmount
their present difficulties it given a
fair chance to do so."

Shore. to determine how best tp
go about it.
Dr. Root and Dr. Collinson are
particularly interested ( learning

the year. The time of their ap
pearance, Dr. Root said yesterday,
never has been ascertained defi
nitely. By learning their habits and
determining the eac prod at
It is hoped to devise more effective
means of extermination.
The idea, Dr. Root explained, is
to catch the mosquito before he
