How Leaves Purify Air.

II has been calculated that single
tree is able through Its leaves to purify
the air from the carbonic acid arising
from the respiration Of considerable
number OF men, perhaps dozen or
even more. The volume of carbonic
acid exhaled by human being In the
course of twenty-four hours is put at
about 100 gallons, but by Boussln.
gault's estimate single yard of leaf
surface, counting both the upper and
the under side of the leaves, can, In
favorable circumstances, decompose at
least gallon of carb0nic acid day.
One hundred square yards of leaf sur
face then would suffice to keep the
air pure for one man, but the leaves
Of tree of moderate size present a
surface Of many hundred square
yards All other forms OF vegetable
life act similarly In abstractlng the
noxious carbonic acid from the atmos.

FIVE AMERICANS MISSING.

London, Nov. Hive American mem- bers of the Marina crew, sunk by German submarine are missing and are believed to have perished, according to latest dispatches Marina was sunk without warning.
 The Marina's wireless station was wrecked by the explosion of the torpedo. It is thought, however, that in the short time between the hitting by the torpedo and the sinking of the vessel no rescue ships could have reached the Marina even if the wire less had been working. Survivors said this today. United States Consul Frost has taken the joint affidavits of twenty eight Ameri- cans landed at Berehaven and fourteen who were landed at CrOokhaven. All declare the afternoon two life boats were crushed on the side of the vessel.

Vessel Was Sent to Bottom Without Warning Five Americans
 Lost Their Lives.

Washington, Nov 1.-The situation growing out of the torpedoing of the Marina today loomed into an issue fraught with the most serious possibilities since the sinking of the Sussex. With five Americans believed dead and no evidence yet to show that the submarine gave any warning of the impend- ing attack or offering any chance for the members of the crew to escape with their lives, the situation has become grave. Ger many has been asked to supply this govern ment with the report of the commander off the submarine If the final evidence shows the Marina was sunk without warming the German government, 1t is agreed by highest officials here, will face the necessity of talk ing drastic action to expatiate the offonse One submarine commander will have been proven guilty of prosecuting relentless and indiSCriminate warfare against vessel of commerce and the penalty which this gOV- 6rnment declared in the Sussex note of April l8 would be diplomatic break The German embassy said this afternoon the commander of the submarine, if guilty; would be punish ed his act disavOWed and full reparatOn of fered this government. %~@%@

German Super-Submersible Freighter Success fully Braves Perils of Sea and Lands
 Here With Cargo of Dyes.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 1.-The German merchant submersble Deutschland, the first vessel of this type to cross the Atlantic ocean, dooked here early this morning, completing the second voyage she has made from Ger many to the United States. Captain Paul Koenig who commanded the undersea freighter on his former voyage is agaln Ill charge of the craft The vessel left Bremen tWenty-one days ago and, according to Capt Koenig, the trip was uneventful except that he ran into bad weather occasioned by the usual October storms. He was delayed ten days in starting from the home port because the Deutschland bumped into another vessel in the Bremen harbor and sustained slight damages that necessitated repair work be- fore the boat could be safely put to sea. A cargo of highly valued chemical dyes made up the manifest of the boat.
 Capt. Koenig had crew of twenty-five men, all but five of whom were members of the original crew that came to this country with the Deutschland The commanding of- ficer said all the crew was in healthy con- dition and had been so all during the trip and that they were calm when the submersi- ble battled the storms The usual United States health regulations were waived in permitting the Deutschland, to enter New London. The officials took Capt Koenig's word as to the condition of the men,
 The commander said he sighted many enemy vessels but had no trouble in conceal ing the presence of his craft He does not know just when he will return or what car- go he will take back, but thinks it will be metals and rubber The boat brought mail for the German embassy and will take some back on it's return trip.

 with an accurate statement of it's purpose the same measure might be adopted And may not amendment No 14 be preiudiced in the eyes of many a voter, when he is mark ing his ballot, through that measure being officially but erroneously de- scribed as an act allowing an in crease in road taxes?
 The legislature soon to meet should take up the initiative and referendum enabling act and give at tention to the situation created by the inaccurate and misleading de- scription of amendment No. IA on the ballot for the 1916 election One thing that could be done would be to require the secretary of state to make public the official descriptions of proposed acts and amendments in ample time for correction to be made if correction seemed to be necessary as it undoubtedly seems to be in the case of proposed amendment No. IA

Friends of the amendment say that while the cap tion on the ballot does not in any sense express the purpose of the amendment there is no legal way to compel the change.
 A. W. Parke, assistant campaign manager for the measure, said that while the measure is under heavy handicap, he is confident that d sufficient number or the voters to insure it's adoption know it's purpose and will not be misled by the cap ton.

NEW FEE SYSTEM
 NOW EFFECTIVE

A measure enacted by the last general assembly which materially reduces fees incident to the several County offices of Greene county be- comes effective today. Senator ]. M. Futrell stated this morning that par ties having business with the vari- ous county officials would quite readily appreciate the saving effect ed. The recording of deeds. for eX- ample, that formerly cost $1 50, is reduced to $l under the new law. Subpoenas in circuit and chancery court, formerly taxed at soc each, are now entered at 25c. Record work. formerly 10 cents per 100 words, is reduced 25 per cent The brunt of reductions fall upon cir cult clerks Treasurers under the new law receive a uniform cOmmis- sion of , per cent, whereas under the old system commissions ire quently reached per cent. The same holds true with reference to collectors. For compiling tax books county clerks will in the future re- ceiye 25 per cent less than for merly.

Although Amendment No. II eX- pressly limits the levy of road tax to three mills and provides speci- fically that no additional tax for road purpose be levied in excess Of the three mill levy, it became evi- dent last night that the amend men will go before Arkansas voters bearing caption which says it is an amendment permitting an increase in the road tax. says the Arkansas Gazette Attorney General Wallace Davis. whose au- thOrization is necessary before a change may be made in the caption of the amendment as it appears upon the ballot, and who conferred yesterday with Secretary of State Earle W.

ROBBERS TAP

 >o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~~~e~~~ ing an increase upon the tax levied land collected for eXpendine in mak- ing and repairing public roads and bridges"
 As everybody knows, every coun- .ty now has the right to levy a three mill road tax, but this tax must be authorized every two years by the voters. Amendment No. 14 would simply allow the voters of a county to say that this tax could be levied for a period as long as thirty years, so that on the basis of that revenue, bonds could be issued for road and bridge building, the interest on and principal of the bonds being paid out Of the three-mill tax so levied. Iln- der amendment No. A the voters Of county could continue to au- thorize the hree-mill road tax for only two years or they could au- thorize the leyying of such a tax for period as long as 30 years. But amendment No. IA plainly says that
 The annual tax and the tax for a period of years shall not both be levied and be in force at the same time for any county-the levy of one SHALL EXCLUDE THE LEVY OF THE OTHER
 We are unable to understand why amendment No. 4 should be de- scribed on the ballot as ''an amend ment to the constitution al lowing an increase upon the tax levied < for making and repair ing public roads and bridges" when that measure expressly says that the annual tax and the tax for longer period of years shall not both be levied at the same time.
 It is a serious matter for pro posed act or amendment to have an inaccurate or misleading description on the ballot. It should be obvious that a measure might thus be so pre- judiced in the eyes of the voters that it might be defeated, when
