Think Mena Ideal Place to Live.

E. 0. Johnston, who with Mrs. Johnston and son, has spent two summers in Mena, in writing from Sherman, Tex, on matters of busl- ness to C. NJ. Latimer, takes occasion to express himself as to the super for conditions prevailing in Mena for a summer home. He says; T would be very glad if you would remember us to any friends who may chance to ask about us. We feel that we have made some very cordial friends in Mena. The town certainly has a charm all it's own as a place to live in the summer season. l don't know whether it's is the fine spring in the Park, like Opie Reads story Of the Waters of Caney Fork, or its fine cool nights, but whatever the reason. the attraction is there. The natural advantages of the place real ly should be brought out, and more widely advertised, which l believe they will with the advent of the good roads now being built. When I get back next June, l hope to see a turnpike four ways from town.

Rob erts characterized as one of the iin- est presentations of the American viewpoint of the war that he had over heard.

AMERICAN SHIP WON BITTER FIGHT
flor Contest of Four Hours With German Submarine, and Seven Of Crew Wounded, Vessel Was
 Saved by Torpedo Boat.

French Seaport, Oct. Els eaning from a German submarine, after a bitter fight lasting nearly sour hours and with seven of her crew wounded, two of them seri- onslv. and American steamer ar rived here this morning from an American port. The timely inter vention of an American torpedo boat alone saved the ship from being sent to the bottom.
 few hours after the vessel had entered the danger zone, lookout sighted a submarine on the port how hut before he had time to re- mort it's presence, the submarine fired a shot which missed the stern of the ship by but few yards. The raptain immediately sent out a wireless call for assistance as the position of the submarine was such that escape was nearly impossible.
 The gun crews of the submarine and the steamer then began to ex- change shots. The chief gunner of the steamer opened fire at range of 5000 yards, but all the shots fell short. The submarine kept maneu- vering to keep out of the range of the steamers guns, at the same time maintaining a running fire in an effort to disable them. The mer- chant ship, after altering her course, started at full speed in an attempt tO escape.
 Desperate Resistance.
 The stubbOrnness of the battle is indicated by the fact that the sub marine fired 23i shots at the steam CT. which responded with more than 260 shots
 After the fight had continued for about two hours, and several shots had struck the ship, wounding four men, one shell hit the vessel and exploded in the engine room, putting the engines out of commission and rendering the ship helpless. The German commander then ap- preached nearer and the submarine continued to rain shells upon the disabled croft.
 Then to the Rescue!
 A high sea was running at the time and there seemed little hope of saving the ship, when a low streak of black smoke was sighted on the horizon. It later proved to be an American torpedo boat destroyer coming at full speed, running right into the sea, and at times nearly dis appearing from view.
 The destroyer had heard the calls for aid sent out by the steamer and travelled at a speed of as high as thirty knots to come to her assist ance She immediately made for the submarine, which dived and dis appeared beneath the surface. The American warship circled about the spot dropping few depth charges but no more signs of the U-boat were seen.

Y. M C. A. DOING GREAT
 WORK AT CAMP PIKE
Dr. L. W. B. Long Much Impressed by Work at Arkansas Cantonmept
 Saw Polk County Rows.

pr. l.. W. B. Long, who with Will $. MacLalferty and V. w. St John had attended the Y. NJ. c. A. war conference held in Little Rock Tues day, returned to Mena Saturday having come by way of Russellville where he had spent two days
 Doctor Long spent Tuesday even ing from till 9 o'clock at Camp Pike With his son, Donald. and many of the other Polk county. boys in the National Army. The visit partoOk or the nature of a reception, for all or the boys were delighted to meet some one from the home county. and all of them wanted Dr. Long to carry home the message that they were all dolng their utmost to live LID to the expectations of the folks at home. Among those whom he remembered particularly of meeting were Joe Donohue, Alison Wallace, Martin Bennett Sam Field, Willie Smith. Charles Wicoxen, Robert A. Jack son, Elihu Ford, John Mildfelt, Pat Hall, Hubert c. Durham and Ira Titus, tho there were others who erasped his hand and asked to be remembered to the homefolks.
 To meet and to greet the boys was. however not the only experience Dr. Long had at Camp Pike. He visited the Y. NJ. C. A. headquarters and saw there the great work being done for humanity and patriotism in furn- ishing a common meeting place where the boys are entertained, in- structed and, above all, are instilled with spirit of patriotism which will be the big factor in winning the war In the barracks where he at tended, 1900 soldier boys gathered for the evening session, and he says that when he heard them join in the patriotic songs. his heart swelled with gratitude for the sacrifice some one had made that this work might be possible.
