is losing her hold on the commerce OF
the East; not only losing it, l should
say, but has practically already lost
it. Where some years ago the Brit
ish flag dotted the waters of the Ori-
ent, it is now conspicuous by its alb.
sence. Germany, Japan and Amer
lea have taken away the shipping
trade that England once enjoyed in the
far east. England has permitted the
procession TO pass her. She kept on
the seas old and worn out ships while
Germany, Japan and even A1nerlco
provided shippers with modern boats
having every convenience for corr.
fort and safety. 1t was to be expected
under such conditions that the newer
and larger boats would be used by
shippers, but England apparently did
not see the commerce slipping from
her grasp. If she did she paid no
heed,
Another weakness of England has
been made apparent in the last few
years, and especially in thes last sew
eral months. 1t has been the popu-
lar belief that England is a nation
slow moving, calculating nation not
easily aroused-yet, whoever has seen
a more historical country than Great
Britain has presented ever since the
talk began about the possibility of
war with Germany, and the growing
thought that the latter country was
slowly, but surely, taking away Eng
lands commerce? Not even France
ever displayed so much hysteria"

A HURRY UP CALL.

The manager of the News has given
the circulation man a hurry up call
for collections on subscriptions. In
four months eff the present manage
ment, the News has progressed
enough so that if it can collect what
is due it can pay running expenses.
We think that you will agree that the
News is worth all you are expected
to pay for it. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to get white paper for nothing
and for that reason the payment of
subscriptions is just as important as
the payment for advertising. If you
are getting the News you are EXPECT.
ed to pay for it promptly We can't
do business unless you do. If you
are in sympathy with the work the
News is doing, pay up your subscrip-
ton and encourage the work. Our
present subscribers can also help us
by asking others to take the paper
In this connection We wish to saw
that we cannot afford to give away a
single copy of the News to any one
who can afford to pay for it. The
white paper bills for the News will
average about $500 per month. We
have not heard lately of any business
man who gives away his goods. The
News as it comes from the press is
l part of our stock in trade that
'osts money. HURRY UP AND PAY
YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. If all who
1--WE, will pay up, the Hattiesburg
Jews will pay running expenses for
he FIRST TIME since it's organ
cation.
