SENATOR FLETCHER SAYS
We NEED MORE SHIPS.
-FOUR HUNDRED AUXILIARY VESSELS A NECESSITY,
DECLARES The SENATOR FROM FLORIDA
ASSOCIATED Press)

New York, Nov. 13.-The necessity
of providing at least 400 auxiliary
ships for the navy as an arm of the
national defense was urged by Sen
ator Duncan u. Fletcher last night
at meeting of the Acadamy of Po-
litical Science at Columbia University
as justification in itself for the en-
actment of a bill for the government
ownership of merchant ships. Senator
Fletcher had charge of the govern
ment ship purchase bill in the Senate
last session and his words were listen
ed to as indicative of plans for en-
acting the measure into law at the
coming session.
Last January when the ship pur-
chase bill was before the Senate, I
pointed out that Great Britain, with
all of its naval establishment, had
found it necessary to commander
about 1900 merchant vessels during
the present war;" said the senator.
81 pointed out our need of naval aux
iliaries. The need grows on US. The
government is compelled to build and
acquire ships to meet the necessities
of the navy. Navy auxiliaries are a
certain and controlling need. These
auxiliaries can be constructed so as to
serve commerce in time of peace and
be made ready to serve the navy in
time of threatened or actual war. 1t
is an arm of the national defense
which must be developed and made
serviceable."
Private control of transportation
may serve the purpose today and to-
morrow may join foreign combina-
tions in utter disregard of both in
vestors and the public, he continued
to say.
eve must be free from foreign
domination" he added. 3I do not
know how this can be secured except
by government control, in view of the
great lead that the merchant marines
of other countries have secured"

1T ANXIETY OF THE ALLIES
ABOUT GREECE

Uneasiness is being shown by the
Allies over the attitude of Greece.
This is not likely to be allayed by
news Of the the German military mis-
sion& arrival at Athens. Paris official
fcles does not believe there is any
possibility of Greece changing her
position and distinctly favoring the
central powers. Such rumors became
so persistent though that the Greek
minister to France felt called upon to
assure the foreign Office that Greece
would adhere to her traditional friend
ship for France.

NEW FERTILIZER FORMULA
FOR USE IN MOUNTAINS


Those farmers who want 70 use 9
complete fertilizer for small grain this
fell, and find those mixtures contain.
ing potash too high in price, may use
the following acre mixture with very
satisfactory results, especially in the
piedmont and mountain sections of the
state where the soils contain a high
percentage of insoluble potash:
900 lbs of ground limestone or mari
300 lbs of 1870 acid phosphate and
100 lbs of cotton seed meal or fish
scraps or go lbs of dried blood.
This mixture will contain from $50
to $40 lbs of lime, or calcium carbonate,
about so lbs of available phosphate,
and about q lbs of available nitrogen
with a small amount of potash if the
cotton seeds meal is used. For best re-
suits this entire amount should go on
an acre.
In addition to supplying an essential
plant food in itself, the lime will react
with the inso1ubIe potash, phosphate,
and nitrogen of the soil and render a
portion of these elements available for
the growing crop. Indeed, lime is now
looked upon as a real fertilizer for ALI
crops, and especially those of the LEI
gume family, such as the cIovers, alfa1-
ia, peas beans, vetches, and SO on.

After artillery battles in the Argonne
forest which have cost thousands of
lives the Germans have advanced to a
point within "a miles of the outer edge
