British Naval Losses

Mr. Churchill placed the navys loss
es during the war a $500 officers and
men. most of whom were killed by
submarines. The Germans. he said,
had lost a like number, chiefly by
gunfire. The British had taken prison
ers So German naval officers and 954
men. There were no British naval pris
oners OF war.
lettering TO the suggestion which
has been made that a courtInartlal
should be held whenever a ship was
lost, Mr.. Churchill declined to adopt
such a course. He felt that the sug
gestcd courtmartials might cause
commanders to play for safety and
avoid the responsibility Of positive &C
tons.

STOP FOOD FOR GERMANY
Continued From Page y

During the six months of the war,
Mr.. Churchill said, Great Britain's to-
tai losses at sea, including all ships
except trawlers. amounted to only six
ty-three. Nevertheless, it was neces-
sary TO be on the lookout for another
German attempt to harrass their trade
routes. although the ocean is black
prospect to a German cruiser" he
said.
Referring to Vice Admiral Jellicoes
command Of the sea with his fleet as
silent. unsleeping and as yet unchal-
lenged," Mr. Churchill said that the
admiralty had moved men at home
and abroad. including Belgian and
French troops and the wounded. %
the number of 100000, without an ac
cident or the loss of life.
Mr. Churchill said that the recent
cruiser action in the North sea, al
though incomplete, was of great i'm
portance because of the light which il
had thrown upon questions concerning
armament, design and relative gun
merry. Referring to the steaming quail
ties shown by the British cruisers, Mr.
Churchill said that the navy is soun1
as a bell, all through"
Germans Thought Of Flight
The Germans in the cruiser action
thought only of flight while. we
thought only of battle" he continued.
They were wise in their thought. If
they had thought otherwise they would
have been destroyed. When, if ever
the grand fleets draw out for battle
We shall hope to have a fleet superior
in both quality and numbers.

A Bonar Laws Opinion

A. Bonar Law, leader of the oppo-
sition, who followed Mr.. Churchill,
spoke of the "iHevltable imitation" to
the neutral powers in connection with
their shipping. He thought that the
strictest regard should be paid to the
interests and susceptibilities of neu-
trails and he said their rights must
be respected.
Mr.. Law thought it probable that the
pressure of British sea power ulti-
matelv would compel the German En-
peror to risk his navy in sea fight
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford con-
tended the best way to end the war
would be for all the allies to send a
Joint note to Germany declaring that
they had decided to stop all supplies
that could be Of benefit to her"
IT don't think there would be any
trouble" Lord Charles added, with
that great country of the United
States or with the other neutral pow
ers."

Instructions to Correspondents

The following instructions are given to the correspondents of The News with purpose of getting news from the various sections now repre- sented in these columns, and for the benefit of those who might wish to write for this paper in the future: The instructions were taken from The News of Jnauary. 1899, and will perhaps prove new to a great ma jority of the present correspondents;
 1. Write only on one side of the paper, and paragraph each item, leaving a blank line between each item,
 ?. Don't say there is much sick sss in the neighborhood." but tell who is s'ck and what ails them.
 3. Write plainly, and be very careful to write names of persons and dates, so there will be no chance of sn error on the part of the compost tsr. Humanity is about the same the world over There are very few people who are not pleased to see their name in print, but no one likes to see his name spelled incorrectly
 l. Always mail your letters so they will reach us by Tuesday night at the latest.
 ,. When very important happen ings occur after your letter has been mailed, use the telephone at our ex pense.
 6. Don't send rumors for facts. If it is a rumor say SO
 '. Don't give anything to be a fact, unless you know it to be a fact.
 s. We are not averse to harmless jokes, but don't write anything that is understood only by yourself and one or two others.
 g. Our advice Is to let everyone in your neighborhocd know you are a correspondent The people will thus be able to give you many little items of news, that you would other wise not get
 10 In concclusion. we want the ews, all the news, while it is news. When your supply Of stationery Is exhausted let it be known and more will be sent you.
 II. Never fail 10 write your real name and address at the bottom of your letters in addition to your non de plume, or writing name.
 A careful following of these instruc. tions will enable us to handle your letters each week, and to give gour letter proper attention The handling Of some forty or fifty letters each week, frcm as many different see tions of the country is no small job, and when some of them come in writ ten on both sides of the paper, un- paragraphed and written in very poor hand, it is almost impossible to give them space for publication.
 If your section is not represented in The News, write letter request ing supply of stamped envelopes, and same will be sent you by return mail We send the paper to all cor respondents free. and furnish them with stamped envelopes. this being the oaIy remuneration given our cor respondents for their work.

CITY'S STATEMENT.

Tn this issue of The News will be found statement of the financial condition of the City of Springdale, the statement includes all the money received by the City since May ,, 1914 and also includes the various expenditures. It will be noted that for all fines collected the sum amounts to s3S570. This is an unas- ually low amount, considering the larger amounts given in other towns and cities over the state, ard tends to show that Springdale is not af- flicted with a large police docket,
 From licenses alone the sum Of s21265 was received, and the dog tax amounts to only s39.50. From the dog tax amount it is to be un. darstocd that Springdale has very few of the dog kingdom, or either someone has been overlooked by the collector The city property has been rented for eight montfs for the sum of s35, according to the state ment, and it will be noted that sl07.- 24 has been paid by the telephone company as tax on their poles, while the light company has Laid s6o.65. From all taxes from the county, in the three different departments the City has received it's largest revenue, and a total amount of s2 463Sl has been received.
 In the funds that have been paid oIt will be noted a large sum for street work, and items paid out as in terest to different banks il the city. The light company in the past eight months has been paid the sum of s650.S0 It will be noted that he city has outstanding warrants to the sum of s497.5S, and that there is, on d epOs.t Sl05.44 It will be noted that the city inherited" a debt of S93.12 from the administration of N. c. Ownbey, as Mayor, and it wi also be noted that the City has some outstanding notes, payable to c. \. Rugal for additional lots in Cemetery. Addition. These notes amounted to s3100 when issued, and bear an per cent rate of interest It will be fur ther noted from the statement that at the time I. T. Lane was elect cd Mayor that there was aside from the deficit from the preceding ad- minstration, an amount of sl435. B due on the Cemetery notes, and that all this indebtendess had been taken Up oa January 9th. 1915, except s9323l.
 The total indebtedness of the city of Springdale on January 9th, this year, was sl l,324.27.

law, and with which he should be ia miliar The same will hold good for all former sheriffs of this county. The News would like to see the mat ter brought to a head, and sitting of all facts take place. This is the only proper way for the people to get at the bottom of the matter, If ex- sheriff Caudle is in the wrong, then he should be placed right; if not, then the reports should be curtailed.
 
 THE LEGISLATURE.
 At the present time the legislatures Of forty-three states are in session, Arkansas among the number. Polit- ical heelers are swarming around the different statehouses, business men are demanding legislation need ed for the development of state re sources, office seekers are clamorous, and persons with notions and pana- ceas are presenting their usual yis- ionarv propositions. It is real mans job 70 be a member of the state legislature.
 As a whole the people of the sever al states do not seem very well sat isfied with these bodies. Perhaps the worst trouble, is that the most capable men are so reluctant to take time off their business to serve the state. There are always plenty of good men and competent men in every legislature. But there are also many mere self seekers of very mediocre, and "stunted' ability.
 A legislator is very much on his honor when he gets to the state capi- tol. If he votes as the leader sug- gests, and is present on the most important roll calls, no one seems to notice it if he lodges a cocmmittee meeting, and hearings, takes no time for independent study of public ques- tions, and enjoys the session as a rest cure, and sporting loaf
 Wouldn't it be a good idea II some organization of citizens would undertake to watch more closely, re porting absentees from roll call and committee meetings, and supplying information of such inatteation to all the home constituencies?

BRITISH REPLY
Tothe American Note about the
Use Of American Flag8is
Being Prepared.

s. LONDON, Feb. 49,. British for
eign ONCE is preparing reply to the
American mole concerning the use OF
tho American flag on the steamer
LusitaniR. The reply will be forward
ed to Washington in a few days, prob
ably before February is. ~
The British officials have never adj
mitted the German charge that q gem
cral order was issued by the British
that British ships should
use the flag Of neutral states. Neither
has the admiralty confirmed the runor
that the Lusitania was ordered to use
the neutral nag.
The position or the British govern
ment, as will be set forth In the reply,
probably will be that captains OF Brit-
ish merchant vessels have been adj
vised to- use neutral flags should an
emergency demand such action to save
the lives OF those ON the ship. Il The
note probably will make IL clear thai
no general use OF neutral flags has
been contemplated or advised.
The feeling among officials and Eng
lishmen generally is that the Amer
lean note is entirely friendly. y s5
