OF THE PACIFIC IS
 AIM OF JAPAN
Special Steamers Are Be ing Constructed for Trade With United
 States.
WILL MAKE FAST TIME

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Toyo Risen Kaisha, the most important Japanese shipping company. is build- ing a new ship the San Francisco Mara, to be the fastest and largest on the Pacific, with speed of 2S knots, and accommodations for 1900 passengers, and a length Of CSC feet, which is 4G feet longer than the Empress steamers of the Canadian Pacific ocean service, Ltd. This com pany has been paying big dividends Since 1914. and has set up a spec ial reserve for after-war competition. More big steamers are to be ordered.
 The Japanese shipbuilders few weeks ago paid $lOO ton for prompt delivery of ship plates.
 Counsel Anderson, of Hongkong, says: "The inauguration of the ex- press system from Yokohama to San Francisco emphasizes the policy of the Japanese lines, under a govern ment subsidy, to serve the Japanese interests first leaving Manila and Hongkong interests and American trade there to be taken care of by other means.
 "The fast service will be of spec ial privilege and advantage to the Japanese silk interests, since the short voyage reduces interest charg- es on valuable silk cargoes to a minimum This is one of the vital elements in the silk import bust. ness lnasmuch as the Japanese silk interests in the past few years have developed almost complete mon- opoly of the raw silk trade with the United States, this fast service is likely to increase materially the hold Of the Japanese silk dealers up- on American manufacturing inter- ests
 Ti is becoming more and more evident that if there is to be any material improvement in the shipping services between the United States, Hongkong, and Manila, 1t must be from American sources. The inau- guratlon of the new service of the Pacific Mail Co. is being watchel watched with interest The vessels now in service are said to be com fortabe, attractive and satisfactory Tn every way, except in size and speed
 "The keenest sort of competition in passenger and freight service on the Pacific is expected at the close of the war, and the character or the vessels already in service or under is such that only those of the highest class may hope to have a reasonable part in the trade.

Berlin Naval Critic Says that Battle Cruisers Are Good for
 Navy.
JAPAN IS U. s. ENEMY
America May Be Forced to Test Strength on High Seas with
 Japan Next.

BERLIN, Nov. Reviewing the new American naval program, Cap tain Persius, the naval writer ex- presses the opinion 1t can hardly satisfy those Americans who believe that the uncertainty of the Panama Canal necessitates the maintenance of two fleets, one for the Pacific and 8 second for the Atlantic ocean.
 Captain Persius recognizes the en- ormous responsibility of naval se- curity in forming new program while various types of naval arms are still on trial. and only very meagre details as to their perform. ances, especially at the Skagerrak battle, can assure him, but on the whole he thinks the money granted for them wisely apportioned
 He thinks the American naval au- thorities deserve no little credit for having provided for comparatively large number of submarines, de- spite British attempts to minimize this weapons importance. He also approves of the American Admiral tvs disinclnation to approve the widely held view that dreadnought criusers failed to make good at the Skagerrak.
 Tn Germany" he says. "the Amer .cap fleets development will always be followed with great interest, but not because it is expected that our fleets is more or less dis ant time would be compelled to measure their strength, knowing too we'll that America's peril is west of Ter shores. in Japan.

interested me about what has been done recently by legislation for the benefit of the farmer is the question why 1t was not done long before. It is astonishing that the assets, the valuable, available assets. the yisi. ble assets of the farm should not have been available as a basis Of credit in the banks on the same terms as the assets Of commercial undertaking and manufacturing in- dustry. Cattle are just as visible and tangible as goods in warehouses and goods on trains.
 We have liberated the credits of the banks and we have mobili2ed through the department of agricul. ture the scientific intelligence of the world. With that combination, every nation in the world ought to come to us to learn how to raise oig crops. We ought to raise such big crops that circumstances like the present can never recur, when men can make as if the supply was so short that the middlemen could charge for it what he pleased. It will not do to be niggarily with the world in respect of its food supply"

 Another proposal which will come before Congress at the coming ses- sion is to make the District of Col umbia dry and on this the prohibit tion leaders are even more confl- dent.
 We only require a majority vote to turn the liquor traffic out of Washington and, in the face of the states voted dry in the recent cleo. tion. can't see how we can fail to win" said Mir.

 The difficulty for the District Of Columbia proposal like the national prohibition amendment, will come in the Senate, where one senator can prevent it's reaching a vote, but tho prohibition leaders are confident that they will stir up popular senti- ment that will force the Senators Co permit action.

President Wilson in a Speech Urges Those Who Develop Soil
 to Keep Busy.
MUST RAISE BIG CROPS
President Does Not Men, tiOn Recent Petitions to Declare Food
 Embargo.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - (By MaiD -rresidcnt Wilson blamed mid dlemen for the high cost Of food. stuffs here last night in a speech welcoming to Washington the con yentlon of the National Grange, the first formal speech he has delivered since the election. Urging that farm CTS increase their output, the Presi- dent said:
 We ought to raise such big crops that circumstances like the present can never recur. when men can make as if the supply was so short that the middleman could charge for 1t what he pleased. It will not do to be niggardly with the rest of the world in respect to its food supply"
 The President did not mention re- cent petitions asking him to declare an embargo on the eXportation of foodstuffs, from the United States to the rest of the world, and he did not refer even indirectly to the out come of the Presidential election. His address yves interrupted fre- quently by applause from the farm CTS attending the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the grange.
 Interesting Problems
 "It seems to me-" said the Presi- dent, that some of the most inter. esting problems of our life and of the life of the world lie before us, problems in connection with which he farmers of the United States will play a part such as they have never played before.
 Tn the future we have got to bring more of the area of the United | States under cultivation than is un. Ter cultivation now. We have got | O increase the product at every i Joint where it is susceptible of being increased.

Canadians Hard Hit if Great Britain Does Pass An Act on the
 Food Question.
LIQUOR QUESTION UP
Great Britain to Hear
Motion Prohibiting Manufacture of
 IntoxiCantS.

LONDON, Nov. Canadian im- porters here wonder exactly what steps the British government intend to take respecting imported flour under the new state regulation of food, the first instollment of which is expected this week. Mir. Runci- man. president of the Board of Trade, caused no little stir in the House by announcing that the gov ernment had decided that 70 per cent. flour can not be permitted in this country, that pure white flour, excluding offalC, etc., must not be milled. and that in future millers will be required to produce only al straight flour under a war scale of percentages, which will raise the yield of flour about S1s per cent
 Mir. Runciman added Tn order to prevent unfcir competition with our own millers. steps will be taken to control the importation of flour.
 LONDON. Nov. 21.-A motion that the manufacture of intoxicating li-I luors in Great Britain should be pro- hlbited will be made in the House of Commons. according to notice giy- en by a group of members after the speech of Walter Runciman. president of the Board of Trade, on the food situation
 The members of the group, their notice stated, will move that this should be imposed in view of Mir. Runciman's grave state nent respecting the shortage of corn, sugar and other foodstuffs.

Week of prayer, November II.
 The inspiration and uplift to the
 membership of the auxiliary observ- ing this season.
 You cannot come together daily and spend an hour in study of the work and in prayer for the work and fail to catch a great vision and re- ceive great blessing.
 The growth of the kingdom is de- pendent on the prayers of the chil- dern of God. Why this is so we can not tell, but it is true that every forward move is the result of earnest prayer. The Week of Prayer will make possible great advance and suc- cess for the church of our Lord in the whole earth.
 Obstacles of indifferent and unbe- lief will be overcome and the impos- sible will be done when we pray. The oqering of love which will spontane- ously accompany our earnest prayers vii provide the necessary money for this advance movement.
 There are many enlargements nee essary in the work already establish ed and many open doors waiting for our coming in His name. Many places are to be occupied for our Lord for which money is needed After prayer and study of the field, the council has selected the two points most needing attention just Institute, Loredo, Tex, and the school to be established in Rio Brazil.
 The study of the needs and oppor- tunlties of these two points will be gained from the daily program as we observe the Week of Prayer.

LOAN BOARD 1O
 VISIT ARKANSAS nhATno ny.r sAisTxrr
FARMERS ARE INVITED
Secretary McAdoo Heads Distin guished Federal Board Coming
 to Little Rock.

Washington, D. C., Nov. "A hearing of great importance to the farmers and farm organizations of Arkansas will be held at Little Rock on November 14, by the federal farm loan board.
 This hearing is for the purpose of getting information to guide the board in determining the boundaries of F federal land bank districts into which the country is to be divided for the administration of the new rural credits law, known as the fed eral farm loan act> The session will be held in the federal building at Little Rock.
 The members of the federal farm loan board who will conduct this hear ing are Hon. William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, George W. Norris, farm loan commissioner, Herbert Quick, Captain W. s. A. Smith and Charles E. Lobdell
 The board has issued an invitation to all farmers and farm organiza- tions of Arkansas to attend this hear ing to get information about the op- eration of the farm loan act, and to furnish the board with information about the farm loan needs of the state. It has also asked interested cities to present their claims for the location of one of the F federal land banks.
 Farmers will be asked to give re- garding the prevailing rates of in terest on first mortgage loans; the difficulty of getting eXtensions, the rate of commission charged de velopment of farms as atle by credit; farm tenantry as affected by the ability of tenants to borrow; and any other fact that will give the board an understanding of the farm needs of the state.
 The new federal farm loan act provides a way for the farmer or prospective farmer to borrow money on long time mortgages at actual cost. The government provides the machinery for assembling capital to be loaned to farm owners or prospective farm owners. The loans may run up to 50 per cent of the value of the land used as security and 20 per cent of the value of the improvements. The loans will be made at low rate of interest not yet determined but it will be less than per. cent. Pro vision is made for the borrower to pay off the debt, interest, and prin- cipal through periods of from five to forty years. at his own option.
 The legislation is expected to prove great boon to those sections of the country where farm development has been retarded of high interest rates, and it is predicted that it will tend to make agricultural prosperity per manent and uniform, stabilize and equalize interest rates, and greatly improve the condition of the farmer.
 The nation wide interest in the pro- visions of the bill is indicated by the fact that more than 100000 inquiries have come to the treasury depart ment for information about it. See retary McAdoo predicts that the banks will be established and ready to make loans early in 1917.
