SHIPPING SITUATION SERIOUS.
BUT NOT DESPERATE.

EVen though 1t develops that the sub
marine menace has been effectively
checked, both American and British au-
thorities realize and freely admit that the
shipping situation is constantly becoming
more serious and presents one of the most
difficult problems Of the war.
A large hole has already been made in
the merchant navy, and the constantly in
creaslng demands for tonnage is greater
than bottoms now afioat or in building can
supply.
Countries everywhere are calling for
supplies and. their pleading. multiply as

Will require an estimated shipping of five

sisting that all neutral ships loading at
American ports must carry cargoes to
France and England. This will work hard
ship on some neutral countries which are
depending upon us for supplies and will
further complicate our problems OF domes-
j, c transportation, but the prime considera-
ton is to rush needed supplies to Our allies
and to our own fighting men abroad. This
can be done quite satisfactorily If all avail
able ships are assigned to that service.
Later, as our shipyards advance with their
program of turning out the greatest vol
u1ne of tonnage ever produced in the same
length of time, attention will be given
other countries and domestic needs more
fully met.
Serious,as the shipping situation is, it is
not impossible of solution, and there is lit
tie cause to fear loss of the war through
inability to transport ample supplies across
the Atlantic.

Like any other crop kukZu will
make stronger growth on rich land
but it does well on land that is too
poor for other hay crops and rapidly
improves the soil by drawing the nj
'trogen from the air through its
leaves and fixing it in soil by means
of the bacteria in the tubercles on its
roots, for it has the same power that
cow peas and other legumes have in
this respect. This addition of nitro
gen to the soil and the protection
from washing rains and the baking
heat of the sun afforded by the dense
growth of vines causes rapid i'm
provement in the quality of the land
planted III kudzu. Even poor, worn
out land soon becomes like rich soil
that has been recently cleared from
virgin forest. Yet although poor
land becomes rich within a few years
when planted in Kudzu it is advisable
to use some fertilizer in such soil the
season in order to hasten the growth
of the Kudzu until it can draw in this
atmospheric nitrogen. After this it
will not require fertilizing for its
deep root system draws potash and
phosphoric acid from the sub soil
while its leaves draw all the nitrogen
needed by the plant from the air. In
this way the soil becomes richer
every year instead of becoming ex-
hausted as from growing grasses for
hay. Their deep roots live 60 great
age and becomes stronger and more
vigorous as the years pass by. One
planting is permanent and the yield
of hay increases as the ground be-
comes more thickly set with plants.
The great number of vines struggling
for air and light have a tendency to
become more slender and leafY.
This improves the quality of the
hay by eliminating any coarse vines
thereby enabling horses and other live
stock to eat it up clean without any
waste. The vines that run along the
surface throw out roots at the joints
that becomes new plants and bind the
soil firmly together thereby prevent
ing the soil washing and erosion of
hillside by heavy rain. While this
improvement of the soil takes place
the field is giving fine returns to its
owner by the immense supply of rich
green forage on which all live stock
can Craze, thereby keeping fat and
in fine health at very small cost for
eight months of the year. The roots

PENSACOLA BOY WRITES
OF CAMP LIFE AT SCREVEN

Editor Journal:
Thought that / would write you and
tell how much l enjoy reading The
Journal, as it is sent to me daily by
my mother.
But there is one thing that really
makes the boys here hon1e-sick, and
that is for them to read The Journal
of the different entertainments that
are given for the benefit of the boys
in uniform. Why We boys Of Fort
Screven, Ga, never hear of such a
thing, if the people of Savannah was
to give free dance for US, why we
would think that the war was at a
close.
Again we must admit that we have
found a few families that try and
entertain the boys, as they have
either, son, brother or nephew, some
where in the service, and they realize
what it is to be soldier.
We have mostly all Florida boys
in this camp and when they receive
their home town paper and notice
that the boys stationed all over Flor
Ida are given so many entertainments
and treated with all due respect, I'M
I'll we are mace real HOiIlS-SiSh LII
dear old Florida and beg to leave
Georgia, which we expect to do soon
for Somewhere in Texas" My tent
mate, III. G. Fuller, of Tampa, spent
nine months in Texas with the Ma
tional Guard and he tells of how well
the boys were treated during their
stay, and will only be to glad to get
back where he knows that the soldier
boy will be as welcome as they are
in Florida.
This note is merely to try and ex-
plain the difference in treatment that
we boys from Pensacola have to put
up with. Why | never did realize
what dear old Pensacola was until
have spent seven weeks in this
fort, and have been here long enough
to find the great difference in the
people as to the respect Of the boys
in uniform.

More About Kudzu

of Kudzu penetrate so deeply as to
make it proof against any kind of
weather, that is ever likely to prevail
here. This feature and it's peculiar
habit of neither blooming or bearing
seed under field cultu.e causes the
vines to remain green and growing
during the entire term from spring to
fall. The hay can be cut at any
time that is convenient when weather
conditions are suitable for curing the
hay as Kudzu does not become in
jured by waiting for good weather as
other hay crops do. This feature
gives an immense advantage over any
other hay crops.

ANOTHER PROBLEM SOLVED.

Scarcity of gasoline, or PETROL, as the
3ritshers term it, threatened to necessitate
suspension of the motor-driven busses
which are a most important factor in the
transportation facilities Of London. A
mechanical genius, however, hit upon the
idea of slightly modifying the motors and
equipping the upper decks of the buses
with mammoth bags for the storage of fuel
gas. The scheme has proved feasible and
is said to have been generally introduced
on suburban lines, numerous gas lamp
posts having been converted into filling
stations.
The war has given England many
mechanical problems, but each seems to
have been solved with readiness which is
splendid evidence of her inventive genius.

SKIPPER THINKS He
2. SAW GERMAN U-B0Af
Strange Moving Object Seen
Amid Some WreCkage Off
Cape HatteraS.

New York. May 1.-THE skipper of a
Danish steamship which arrived here
today with sugar from Cuba had a
mystery story to tell. involving the
possible presence Of submarine of
Cape Hatteras.
His ship was 33 miles north OF east
from Diamond Shoals lightship on May
10, the Danish captain said, when
wreckage was encountered
An officer sighted what appeared to
be a spar sticking about IS inches out
of the water. As the Danish vessel
neared it, this object slowly submerged.
Some distance to starboard a British
steamship was moving northward.
The Danish skipper suspected he
might be in the presence of mine
laying submarine which, having de-
stroyed one vessel, was lying in walt
for the Briton TO starboard and he at
once ordered fun steam ahead and fed.
