A Great Submarine Fleet.

One of the things this war has
already settled is the great value
of the submarine as a weapon
of naval defense.
The battleship fleet of Great
Britain lies at anchor among the
Orkneys or off the north coast
of Ireland, because the Admi-
rally dare not risk its capital
ships nearer the German coast,
where the deadly submarines lie
in wait. There are presumably
only a few submarines in the
Dardanelles, but they have &C.
counted for several of the allied
fleet already. On the other hand
the British submarines have made
brilliant use of the opportunities
they have had in Turkish waters
and the German high sea fleet, if
it should ever come out of its
fortified harbors of Kiel and
W~ilhelmshaven. would have as
much reason to fear the British
submarines as to fear the British
battleships.
For such a nation as the United
States, a strong fleet of subma-
rines is especially valuable; in
fact, it may fairly be said to be
indispensable. We are not a mil
itary people and are not likely to
wage an aggressive or even an
offensive war against any other
great naval power. We are sew
eral thousand miles from an enc
my who could threaten us, but
in these days of powerful steam
or oil-driven battleships, distance
is not the protection that it once
was, and our thousands of miles
coast cannot be easily defend
ed by Notifications. But a large
and efficient fleet of submarines
several hundred of them, if
necessary-could make it a tick
matter for any fleet to ap-
proach our shores, and almost
impossible to transport hithet

Hashuqua Speaks.

Mr.. Doty Hurst reports that
the Hashuqua neighborhood has
been visited lately by many heavy
rains, and if they continue the
farmers will be greatly retarded in
their work. That section has
already had too much rain for the
crops to do their best, he says, but
as the boil weevil is not so bad as
it was last year, they still hope
to do fairly well if the rains do
not continue so as to prevent
proper cultivation OF the crops.
MI. Hurst's letter also con.
veyed to all the candidates and
to all the people of Noxubee a
cordial invitation to attend the
speaking at Hashuqua next Wed.
nesday. Hashuqua may be hilly
and sandy, but tie deepest, rich.
est soil does not produce a finer
spirit of hospitality and equity
spirit than Hashuqua does, and
everybody will be welcome there.

favorable comment, and were

favorable comment, and were
novelties to many of the North
ern and Western delegates. Some
of them had never seen johnson
grass hay before. The test of
this Johnson grass hay, its feed
ing value being the criterion,
showed it two points better than
timothy. Mr.. Stokes carried a
sample of No1:ubee alfalfa from
George Richardson sprairie farm
and it was adjudged the best
over hundreds of samples of
other alfalfa.
The Mississippi Hay Growers
Association meets next Thursday
at the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College, and the president is
anxious that all parties interest
ed in hay growing attend. Am
pie and technical Information of
the action of the National Asso-
citation and its value to the hay
industry will be given at the
meeting.

and land an army large enough
to be dangerous.
We have a submarine fotilla,
but it is neither large enough
nor, if the recent naval manou-
vres tested it fairly, efficient
enough to he of much value.
That is principally because the
importance of that arm Of the
naval service was not fully un-
derstood before the outbreak of
the present war. The Secretary
of the Navy is acting wisely in
taking steps to build up for the
United States a large and SER
yiceable submarine feet. If it
grows to be the largest in the
world, it will be none too large
to defend our six thousand miles
of coast.
Secretary Daniels has selected
Capt. Albert W. Grant, soon to
be made a rear admiral, to take
charge of the submarine service.
He and his staff will plan a
really powerful feet. and Con-
gress will be asked to appropri-
ate enough money to carry out
the plan. In no other way can
the United States more efica-
ciously prepare its defense
against possible invasion.

EDWIN DRooD AT THE DREAM

A Shubert feature ill five gigan- tic reels, enacted by the World $ Famous Players, called The Mystery of Edwin Brood. This is the picturiz- ation of Dickens last novel, the one that he never finished. The Shubert people have finished this great novel and put in in movie form. The story is clear and well told ,and follows closely in it's earlier portions the line of development followed by Chas. Dickens. On the whole the accuracy of detail, comprehensiveness of treat ment is delicate and definate inter pretation of the work of the famous Dickens. This picture will rank with the remarkable achievements of the moving picture art, such as Dante s Inferno and Quo Yadis. Remember two nights only at the House of Quality, Thursday and Friday.

TAX RATE FIXED BY COUNCIL
 REGULAR SESSION LAST NIGHT

The roll call of the local council regular session last night found all members present, with the singe ex- ception of one member who came in before the other members had gone very deeply into the business of tine evening. In taking up the business confronting them the chairman of the Street Committee reported a pcti- tion from N. Casperson stating the property holders anolg the alley from the intersection of Dock and Bawdcn streets would donate one foot on each side of the alley if the city would lay the planking After considerable discussion the paper was laid on the table awaiting petition from tine property owners along the alley guar nnteeing one foot on each side of the alley, and one third of the cost in completing the work. Chairman Walk. CT, of the Street Committee, reported the approach to the City Float in New Town in very bad condition and in his opinion something should be done immediately as the piling un- der the approach was practically gone below the surface of the water.
 The question of whether the city should build the sidewalk in front of Hunt s store to the walk in front of the Ketchilkan Cold Storage build ing was brought up and after some discussion it was decided that the city would build the walk.
 The Committee on Water and Light. Finance, Cemetary and Police had nothing to report. The special com. mittee on the enlargement of the law atories at the school house reported their plans incomplete and asekd for more time.
 At the last meeting of the Coun- cil a special committee was appointed to investigate the advisability of the city buying a rock crusher for street use
 Chairman King reported at the meeting last night that the proposi- tion had been investigated and thought it a useless expenditure of money as the cost of the crusher and equipment with the extra man neces- sary to operate the crushcr and gel the crushed rock to the street would Ee about double the present pian He produced figures to show that the cost of using crusher would he 2.
