The country will applaud Presi~

resignation of Chairman Denman of
the shipping board and of General
Goe.hals. general manager of the
emergency feet corporation. These
two men we're at loggerheads and
their quarrel. increasing as the days
passed. by, was allowed by both of
them to interfere with the country's
defense. However much the people
may think of Goethals for his COM
Fiction of the Panama canal. and
however much respect Mr.. Denman
may have inspired in President Will
son, what the nation insists upon is
that the administration build or buy
the ships authorized by congress.
Not realizing, apparently. that they
were in Office for the purpose OF
action and not to air their personal
differences. Messrs. Goethals and
Deman did not do what the people
wanted. says the Reno Gazette.
Now that these two obstacles have
been removed. let the new shipping
board get to work as quickly as il
knows how. The argument thai
England is building steel ships to
provide for the mercantile marine
after the war and that, accordingly,
we should do the same if We do not
want England to outdistance us in
the carrying trade. is ~specious but
the point IS that it will take thrice
as long to build steel ships. and per-
haps longer. than IL will to build
wooden ships. And ships of some
sort We must have.

BOYS HAVE SHARE IN
 MEETING WORLD NEED

One million dollars is great sum of money. It is an appreciable part of the $35 5,00O, ,000 needed by the war council of the Y. M. c. A. of the United States. As such it is not to be ignored.
 But who shall measure the blessings which shall be conferred upon the boys of America who shall partici- pate in the sacrifices they shall make in order to raise this sum? How shall we determine the character-build1ng values which will come out of this effort in every case where the boy has made real sacrifices?
 One hundred thousand of the B. 000,00O boys of America between the ages of 12 and 20 are this week be ing called upon to earn and give to this great cause ten dollars each, not so much for the million dollars that is so badly needed in the work for our soldiers in the trenches, but that they may, in limited sense, realize what it is to deprive ones self of some of the luxuries of life; that the boyhood of our nation may be put to real test and at the same time have a share in meeting the world.need. It is sacrifice they are being called up on for, not the million dollars.
 Given a fair chance, our boys will meet this test and never fail. They will not lack faith in their ability to
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1917-11-15

achieve the goal set for them. The Pine Bluff boys will today prove their ability to achieve the goal of seven hundred and fifty dollars which has bee nset as their part of the one mil lion dollars.
 Information has been received by the local committee that 150 Fort Smith boys have already signed the pledges to earn and give $1,500 dollars while the little city of Van Buren has had 104 boys to pledge $1,030. And three negro district in Lee coun- ty have pledged $500. Pine Bluff boys are not expecting to outrun or attempt to surpass any other town or community for the sake of beating them but they will not agree for their fair little city to be- out of the upper ranks, and 1t will no be surprise If they exceed their quota.
