BRITAIN WILL ADD
$4,000 MEN TO Navy

LONDON. Jan. i9.-The govern
ment is planning the increase OF the
navy personnel by $4,000 men,
The active service list of the Brit
ish navy for l9l4-15 was l5i 600: for
both active and reserve it was 216.-
ass. total increase OF 1923 over
the previous year
Just to what extent the fleet has
been increased in number OF vessels
since the war began is unkonwn. but
hundreds Of motor boats have been
built or purchased abroad for sub
marine defence. and there is on record
the case of the light cruiser Caroline
said TO be one of the twelve-which
was laid down on May 81, 1915. and
completed on December A. Fifty
monitors are also known to have been
built and probably larger number of
destroyers.
Since the war began eight super
dreadnoughts have been completed,
and two more, those building for Bra
zil and Turkey in British yards, COM
pleted and required by the admiralty.
Kitchener Satisfied.
The announcement OF this and of Lord
kitchener's satisfaction with the terms
of the military service bill as enabling
him to do all that had TO be done 10 in
sure victory was the principal feature oI
the second day of the committee Stage
of the measure in the House of Com
mons, he said:
1T is impossible TO make estimates
on the numbers of men, for II the
Angel Gabriel made an estimate some
one would be found in the House OF
Commons to rise and challenge II. But
one essential thing is sure-it has been
complete answer to Germany. and
has shown that we will have enough
men to carry forward the war to a sue
cessful conclusion"
Derby Sure OF Victory.
When Lord Derby was asked what
successful conclusion implied. he
said
answering that might involve lay
ing down terms of peace. such as Ger
manys getting out OF belgium and
France. and so on. which is outside
of my province. But certain il is that
successful conclusion OF the war
means that Il will be prosecuted until
we have such a peace as will make II
perfectly sure that there will be no
further war OF this kind In our times
or I'm our children's children's time
Il will be absolutely conclusive, and
nothing short Of that"
Lord Derby has no doubt OF tho
outcome. and he referred 10 the abil-
ity of the rapidly expanding army 10
give Germany a good licking" and,
he added. 1T will do il all right"

GOOD TELEGRAPH POLES
ARE GETTING SCARCE

Along numerous rural roads during
the past winter and autumn months
many linemen have been observed
erecting new telephone and tele-
graph poles. But instead of these
poles being cut in this section many
are shipped here by rail from other
parts of this or other States. Tele-
graph poles cost much more than
they used to, as most of the large
timber is cut off.
Not so many years ago dealers
shipped hundreds Of poles from this
county. besides furnishing poles for
local use. but the business has de-
creased very rapidly in a few years.
The conservation Of our forests has
been neglected. There are some old
forests. but real old oak, hickory and
other varieties of trees are not avail
able for telegraph line uses.
