MENA DID spIENnlnLY.

When it was announced that . Red Gross fund of 100 million dollars was 10 be raised in the United States by free will offerings 1t looked like mighty big contract. But at the end of a week the amount had been exceeded by ii millions. The work goes on, and when it comes to a close, it is pretty certain to prove to be by a wide margin the greatest sum ever raised in the world for a like purpose.
 And in this all circumstances con sidered, there are mighty few lit,le cities the size of Mena who have done So vtell and the most sanguine would net have expected that we would have given more than five thousand dollars, as we have done. And other communities of Che coun- ty are on the honor roll for strong subscriptions, in some instances more by far than expected.
 The American people, while often accused of being money proud and selfish, show the other side when called upon, and any enemy that counts upon slackness or indiffer- ence when the test comes is due to a sad awakening.

SUBMARINES ARE
 IN LOSING FIGHT
Campaign Against sul,sea Craft Showing Greater Results and Brit ish Navy Convinced That IT.
 Boat War Can't Succeed.

London. July |. Won Hindenburg s boasting pronouncement yesterday was issued with view to bolstering up German sentiment in the opin- ion of the admiralty. The phrase, ''If we hold our ground until the submarine war has done it's work" !" has pleasant sound to the British naval ear, for the navy is now firm ly convinced that the submarine war has failed.
 A staff correspondent of the Asso- eiated Press was privileged to spend two days last week in observing the anti-U-boat campaign al close quar- ters at big naval base on the southeact coast. There was plenty of evidence of the effectiveness of the admiralty work in nearby wat CTS as well as of tremendous efforts being put forth.
 The navy still maintains secrecy regarding the submarines sunk, but the pursuit has become so lively that U-boat shows it's periscope in Channel waters only with the great est risk. It is impossible to keep entirely secret such incidents as that of all oil-driven destroyer which a few days ago swept into port with a part of rammed submarine hang ing triumphantly from her prov.
 Airplane and dirigible patrols in the Channel are proving highly eff fectiye, and U-boat once sighted by a dirigible has small chance of get ting away.
 In waters further afield, one of the best evidences of tho success of the Atlantic patrol was the safe arrival of the American transports at a French port.
