Need of Merchant Marine.

War, especially so gigantic a con-
flict as the present, continually pre-
sents new problems. which must be
met by war measures. Congress is
proceeding rapidly in the way OF pro-
viding for the admission to American
registry of ships necessary to carry
abroad the surplus grain crop. The
incident is an object lesson as to the
need of an American mercantile ma
rine. When our citizens can not be
carried across the ocean or their pro-
ducts transported because foreign
ships, which are doing the work, are
liable to be hauled off at any time for
fighting purposes American pride in
sists that the deficiency shall be rem

the water shall have a dignity CORES

waiian steamer Nebraskan put out for
New York via the Panama canal. She
will be the first merchantmen to pass
through the canal from the Pacific
Coast. The Arizonan, of the same

direction August a. Traffic will be
received beginning August 10.
The Nebraskan bore many tokens
of goodwill, and was uproariously
greeted by the whistles of all the
shipping in the harbor as she got
under way.

Hospital Supplies Asked.

Washington, d. c. = Ambassador
Herrick cabled to the State department
an urgent request on behalf of the
American hospital at Paris for large
quantity of hospital supplies for sick
and wounded French soldiers. Miss
Mabel T. Boardman, chairman of the
National relief board of the American
Red Cross, notified the ambassador
that because of limited space on the
Red Cross steamer soon to start across
the Atlantic, only part of the big ship
ment could be sent at this time. Re-
quests for supplies also were received.

where there was a sawmill that en-
ployed good many hands. He knew
the sawmill owner, and was talking
to him when doctor who lived in q
village near by, where the postmaster
had just died, came along in a buggy.
The doctor stopped at the sawmill.
The sawmill boss introduced him to
Underwood, but the doctor had other
fish to fry. and paid no attention to
Underwood, and apparently didn't get
his name. He produced a petition
and said:
Now, boys, the postmaster over in
our town has just died, and I'm a can
didate for the job. I'm getting up
petition to send to Washington, rec.
ommending me for the place. i wish
you boys would sign it,

the doctor handed the petition to I'm

was addressed to the Honorable Oscar
