"a Hamburg newspapers correspondent
who has seen Yankee troops In France
writes that they "look like the sons of i'm

Pershing has got
An excellent lot
OF immigrants sons in his columns;
They're happy and proud
To be shouting aloud
For Liberty's cause in a turbulent crowd;
And, with all this bold crew.
Nothing will do
While the fields are so green
And the sky is so blue
But to push on the columns to Potsdam.
In the camp you may hear
Every lingo In vogue
The sweet German accent
The rich Irish brogue.
And exiled combiners
For freedom at home;
Berlin's Forty-niners
Have grandaons that come,
And with all this bold crew
Nothing will do
While the fields are so green
And the sky so blue
But to push on the columns to Potsdam
Let Schreckl!chkeit tremble,
AS free men assemble
Poles, Irish Huns, Jews.
Their zeal cannot lag;
All one in their views

APPRECIATE AMERICAN ALTOS,

batavia. Netherlands East Indies, oct. 1S.-An outstanding feature of the rapidly expanding commercial in- lefcourse between the United States ana M the Netherlands East Indies is tAe soaring rubber export to Ameri- ca and, on the other hand, the grow ing use of the American automobile III the colony. Despite the shortage od cargo sEace, East India's shipments oi rubber to the United States have risen from 5000 tons in the first half or 1916 to 9,70O tons in the core spending period of the current year. Eight hundred and fifty automobiles were imported in the first quarter of 1917, nearly all from America; while z,4o0 arrived in 1916.
 The serious conditions arising out or the lack of cargo space threaten me country with an economic disas. 1er' and urgent representations are being made to the colonial and home governments on the subject. Of the 1916 sugar crop 2,5O0,OOG tons last months awaited shipment, together With 100000 piculs of the coffee crop, SS,000,00O pounds of tea, 9OO,- 900 bales of tobacco and 2,O00 ,OOO tons of rubber, copra and oil.

Find Real FIyina Draoon.

What is said to be the only reptile that can fly has been recently discov- cred in B0rneo. This creature is liz ard about ten inches long, it's body brilliantly colored. It does not have wings in the usual understanding of the term, but it's ribs, widely extended, enable the lizard to soar in much the same way that an airplane or bird drifts on current of air. These fly ing lizards commonly travel in swarms, frequenting the deepest forests, says m exchange. Seen at distance they are said to look much like birds, with their brilliantly hued bodies. Science has not as yet hit upon q name for the newly discovered specie of reptile, but has called It the flying dragon. which seems an excellent name, everything A0nsidered.

FEDERAL COURT GRIND.

Little Rock, Oct. 1S.-By a stipula- tion waiving trial by jury in cases in which James A. Conner, trustee, is plaintiff against Max and Jake Cosso- yer, the civil court docket of the United States district court for Thurs. day was cleared during the forenoon and the members of the jury were dismissed for the day. These two cases were sent for November 2.
 In the case of William w. Kennedy trustee, vs. Hiram Sutterfield, ct al., default agreement was entered against Sutterfield for $3,591.33 with interest amounting to s15263. The case was dismissed as to Harry Churchill, one of the defendants.
 The case of the New York Central Railroad company against the South ern Cotton Oil company was con.1n- ued by consent.
 The suit of Mrs. Myra Smith against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain x Southern railroad was dismissed at the plaintiffs cost. The defend ant had previously asked that the case be dismissed on account of the lack of jurisdiction, it being alleged
 
 that the cause of action, if any, arose before the dismissal of the receiver,
 Mrs. Smith, resident of Shirley claimed that by mistake of the DOT ter of one of the company's trains, she was put on train bound for St. Louis instead of Little Rock When this was learned, she claimed, the railroad company agents promised to put her off at Bald Knob.

She sued for $25,00C penalty and $10,000 as actual damages.

.TY COBB CAME BACK.

New York, Oct. 20.-Ty Cobb has "come back" After palying second fid- de to Iris Speaker last season, Ty this year resumed the batting leader ship in he American league and fo1 the ninth time asscended the throne as king of swatters.
 Unofficial batting averages for the past season show nine palyers in the American league and seven in the Ma tional league who hit for 300 or bet ter.
 According to these figures each league is shy two members in the fast set, as compared with the figures of the preceding year. The 1916 crop of 300 swatters included eleven American leaguers-Speaker of Cleve- land, Cobb, Spencer and Veach of De- troit, Jackson, E. Collins and Felsch of Chicago, Rumler and Sister of St. Louis, Strunk of Philadelphia, and Gardner of Boston. The nine National leaguers hitting for 300 or better in 1916 were Chase of Cincinnati, Hoelke, McCarty and Robertson of New York, Huggins and Hornsby of St. Louis, Daubert and Wheat of Brooklyn, and Hinchman of Pittsburgh.
 Six of the American leagues 300 hitters of last year-Cobb, Speaker, Sisler, Veach, Felsch and Jackson- and found in the, list of leading bats men for the past season. In the Ma tional league only two performers Hornsby and Wheat-duplicated their last years stick work by landing among the 300 hitters.
 The newcomers who have broken into the 300 set this year include Mo- Innis of Philadelphia. Lewis of Bos- ton, and Harris of Cleveland. in the American league, and Groh and Roush of Cincinnati. N"''fF, Burns and Zim- merman of New York, in the National league.
 To all appearances the American league heavy hitters are better able to hold their own than are the Ma tional leaguers. In the Johnson cir cult the same old crowd has held sway the past two years, while in the Ma tional league an almost entirely new set of sluggers comes to the front each year.
 Since 1913 Cobb has led the Ameri- can league three seasons and Speaker one season. During the same period for different players, Daubort. Doyle. Chase and Rouch, have. led the Ma tional league batsmen.
 Cobb's record is the most remark able of it's kind in the annals of the national pastime. The Tiger star has led the American league hitters nine different seasons. seven of which were in succession. The nearest approach to this record is that of John (Honus) Wagner, of Pittsburg, who has led the National league batsmen seven seasons in all, -four of which were in succession. "a.
