AMENDMENT NO.l4
 GETS A HARD JOLT
Someone Responsible for Puttina a Caption on Good Roads Measure That Is Wholly Misleading
 Will Not Increase Road Tax
Frolp The ArIsansas eazette.

@A'N -af NtAtt1d1 et etAAtANt
 Little Rock, Oct. 3i.--The caption given Amendment No. 1.-the good roads amendment-on the ballots certified to county boards of election commissioners is the result of gross negligence in someone" declared ]. NJ. Futrell of paragould. state sena- tor and one-time acting governor, in d telegram to A. w parke, assistant manager of the campaign for the amendment, received yesterday.
 Senator Futrell also said that is Hthe most charitablen view to be taken. The amendment was certified out as ian amendment allowing an increase upon the tax levied and col lccteG for expending in making and repairing public roads and bridges"
 With J. s. AbercrOmbie of Benton Saline county judge who is presi- dent of the Arkansas Good Roads ant Drainage Association, Secretary tf State Earle w Hodges and sttor- n"y General Wallace Davis met yes tertlay to consider whether the eap- ton could be changed Sunday Mir. Hodges expressed his willingness t., asd I'll mah ing a change if tho cap- tiGn were found to be unfair. There will be another conference later
 Judge Abercrombie suggested that the caption be changed so it would say that the amendment is for the purpose of allowing the qualified electors to borrow money, without increase of the tax, to build roads and bridges.
 Mir. Futrel's Message
 Mr. Futrell's message follows in full:
 My attention has just been called tn the fact that the State Board of Election Commissioners has certified Amendment No. ii as a measure pro- viding for increase in taxation for road purposes. The word increase is a fly in the ointment. This amend ment would neither increase nor make it possible to increase taxes for road purposes. as will appear from the amendment itself.
 The insertion of the word 'in- |crease is not the result of ignorance. for no one outside an insane asylum could misinterpret the langi!aec of the amendment The caption placed upon the measure by the State Board evidently escaped attention of tho members of the board, for they are intelligent men and could not have stultified themselves by desig- hating the amendment with such a misleading caption. The most char itable view that can be taken Of the matter is that it is the result of gross negligence in someone. If 1t be the trick of an enemy of the Amendment the crime is a contemp- tible and dastardly one. It is unfor- tupate for the people of Arkansas that their right to vote on an issue Iof this magnitude can be made the Iplaything of ignorance. indifference or hatred

TORPEDOED SHIPS,
 AMERICANS LOST
Two British Ships Sunk Without Warming by German Submarines Life Boats From One Ship
 Fired on as They Cleared.

London, Oct 30.-The American embassy here this morning received report from Esley Frost, American consul at Queenstown, to the effect that the British steamship Marina has been torpedoed without warn ing, and that it is believed number of Americans were aboard.
 Thlrty-four of the crew of f04 have been picked up and landed at Crookhaven, Ireland.
 Consul Frost now IS procuring af- tidavits from the survivors.
 The American consul at Queens town also reported the sinking, on October 26. of the British steamer Kenmore, which also was torpe- doed. He said seven Americans. in cluding five Filipinos, were aboard the Kenmore.
 Without Warning.
 Washington. Oct. i.--Dispatehes to the State Department this after | noon say the Marina when sunk, had mixed crew of British and Ameri- cans. and that she was sunk by gum | fire without warning.
 Consul Frost at Queenstown, who reported the affair to the State De- partment, specified in todays dis patches that the information he transmitted was provisional An investigation will be made at once to determine whether Germany has violated any of her promises to the United States.
 The report on the destruction of the Marina refers to the ship as a ! British horse transport" If it turns out that 1t was in fact in the British transport service 1t may be claimed that the mixed crew of British and Americans could claim no immunity against an attack with out warning such as attaches to a merchant ship.
 | Although no American lives were Host on the submarining of the Roan- more, and the ship altered her stat us if she made an attempt to es- cape, the officials here are disturbed | by the report that the lifeboats were shelled after they had cleared from the abandoned ship.
