.BANNOCKBURN GOLFERS
WILL LENGTHEN COURSE
Cabin John Club Soon to Carry Out
Original Plans for 18-Hole
Links.

Within the next three years the
members of the Eannockburn Golf Club
expect to be playing over an eighteen
hole course which will be the equal OF
any in the south. When the new
course was laid out in 1912 under the
supervision Of 7. J. W. Brown. the
plans called for the inclusion OF the
entire eighteen holes in four years.
This project has been held up largely
by lack of funds, but. according to
several members OF the green's COM
mittee. the work of clearing and de-
ye,oping the new holes will be carried
out steadily, starting this fai- a

tees and greens on the new holes al

the lessening of play this fall ana

earnest on the lengthening Of the
course.

nine holes. and the plans for the new
nine do not include any artificial dim
culties. At least two OF the present
greens have been found to be too
much of a slope, as in the summer
when the ground gets hard it is very
difficult to make a pitched ball stick.
These have been changed, in the case
of the second hole by making pots in
the green, the bottoms of which are
level and in the case of the ninth by
raising and widening the green itself.
The present nine will not remain intact
under the new layout when the holes
now under construction are ready for
use Some will be changed in the or
der Of play and others will have differ
ent tees.
Great credit is due the members of
the club who have worked increasingly
in the last four years for the develop
ment of greater and better Bannock-
burn. T. J. w. Brown, former chair
one of the pioneers in the enlarge
ment of the clubs plans and has been
ably assisted by Daniel L. Hazard, the
club president; J. r. De Farges. John

Mackie. Miss Alice Sanger and Miss

board of governors, also have helped

LoHp0N. Friday. September : de

that f1ie entente governments have
agreed that the shipping situation ~
tho most serious problem of all those
facing the entente at the beginning OF
the fourth winter of the war. and every
effort will be made during the coming
months to impress the people or Eng
land and America with the fact that
!he greatest effort of the whole war
will he necessary to solve it. y gov
ernment official informed the Associated
Press today:
Ass5tritain's great effort of the first
year OF the war was to create huge
armyt;iS her great effort for the second
ami third years was to create an mex
hauStibie supply Of munitions, so the
great sftort of the fourth year must be.
not only in Great Britain. but also in
America. TO create a merchant navy TO
replace the submarine losses and supply
the constantly increasing demands.
Situation Is Serious.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the shipping situation Is serious. 10
not. misunderstood me - the shipping
situation has not grown serious through
any iHsreased success OF the German
Subnatine warfare. As matter of
fact. the ierman submarine W ar is be-
Ing held down very well.
The sinliings show no increase either
in nuspberrof ships or tonnage. The
sinEinPs in the Atlantic main routes are
now Very low. and the greater prOpcr-
tion of the sinkings occur in out of the
way spots, indicating either that the
submarines haze, been forced afield
that a larger number of them are oper-
atng
But the total availa BILE tonnage is
shrinking slightly, while, on the other
hand. the demands for tonnage from
all directions are increasing tremcn-
dously. Where three ships were needed
year ago. four are needed now. France
IS very short Of coal. one of the vital
neCessaries for winter. Italy is short
of coat and the shortage is so serious
that IL is causing the Italian govern
ment the utmost concern.
ALI these shortages there is only
one remedy-namely, tonnage.
u. S. Needs Troop Ships.
But n still more important demand
for tonnage comes from America
whence the entente's great reserve of
men must come this winter. The
necessity for tonnage to transport the
American Army and keep it sup
pied Is, perhaps, the most important
feature of the shipping situation
SO the entente statesmen have ar
rived -at the conclusion that the win
