navian ports and San Francisco, op- erating vessel each way about every fourth week. The Johnson line also has vessel over this line each way every sixty days. The Harrison Direct line has a service between Great Brit ain and the West coast as far north as Puget Sound, with vessel each way approximately every month. The Ma pie Leaf line sends its steamers from New York to Vancouver to return to Europe by way of California ports, ev- cry five weeks.
 To the Orient.
 To Japan, Siberia, China and the Philippine islands the traffic through the canal from the Atlantic cost of the United States during recent months has exceeded in tonnage the cargoes one way on any other of the routes named, with the exception of the ship ments from she West coast of South America to the United States.
 The principal lines operating in this service are the American and Oriental line, the Barber line, Shewan Tones & Go. and Alfred Holt & Go. Between these companies vessel comes % the Canal about once every ten days from New York. The American and Man churian company (known also as the Ellerman X BucknalD has a vessel at the Canal about once in three weeks. The Nippon Yusen Kabushika, Kaisha has fine vessel at the Canal approxi- mately every two weeks in each direc- tion. Messrs. Norton. Lily X Go. have ships in this far Eastern service at the Canal at irregular intervals, but ap- proxImately once month.
 To Australia.
 To Australia and New Zealand the United States and Australia line op- crates a vessel between New York and New Zealand and Australia about once a month. The Ellerman lines have a service from New York to the same ports. but with irregular leaving dates.
 The Luckenback line also has serv- ice between New York and Australia. The Federal Steam Navigation com pany, New Zealand corporation, has a vessel between New York and New Zealand every six weeks. In addition to these boats the American-Australlan and the Commonwealth and Dominion lines serve the same trade area with a vessel about every fourth week.
 That there Is no United States coast wise trade through the Canal. the Worlds correspondence from here has made as clear as that even for sailing vessels the Canal makes the voyage be- tween the east and west coasts of the United States one that is very cheap Prior to the high freight rates which the European war has caused the American-Hawaiian company was ship ping Hawaiian and West coast prod ucts to New York and other Eastern cities at great profit. The American Hawaiian ships have found 1t more profitable to abandon this coastwise traffic to carry nitrates to and gen eral freight from Europe.

DISTRICT DOPE.

Naturally, the Republicans have
ne reason to feel chesty over the
statement made by Democratic
newspaper in the district that the
Fourth Congressional District return
ed a Republican majority in the re-
cent county races. In the first place.
-'~- tk . election returns do not hear out
the statement, but show that the dis
triet went Democratic by more than
eleven hundred votes. This, too,
notwithstanding the fact that in the
largely Democratic counties of Har-
din, Nelson, Bullitt, Larue and Meade
there were really no contests and
hence no organization to bring out
tho voters; while in the counties of
Breckenridge, Grayson and Ohio,
which are normally Republican, the
opposition by Democrats was at least
strong enough to arouse the Repub-
leans to their utmost--even TO STRAIT
egg in the last named county, the
Democrats being forced to write on
the ballot the names of all eandi-
dates for whom they voted.
or course, in most all county
races, there is more or less crossing
and. in order to ascertain the stand
ing of the respective parties in the
recent election, we have compared the
vote in the race for Representative
where there was a contest for that
sHiee. IL none. then the vote in the
race for Senator, if a contest. And
in such counties as had no contest
in either OF these races, we took the !
average, considering the votes in all /
contests. This, it seems, is as fair /
as any estimate that could be made.
and the result by counties is given.
Republican majoPities: Green 33S,
Mart 17s, Washington SOL, Taylor
4s, Breckenridge 1854. Grayson 342,
ehis 3s5-total 2.20o. Democratic
majorities: Built 4o4, Marion ACC,
Nelson $40, Meade 3s2, Hardin S31,
harue 4ST-total $500, showing a
net Democratic majority OF 1,1s1.
In the second place, Judging from
tss past, the Republicans know the
result sugurs nothing favorable to
mem in the Congressional race next
year. In 1907, the Democratic State
ticket lost the district, but in the race
fer Representative in Congress which
followed Mr.. Johnson defeated Dr..
eaddis by an overwhelming MAJOR
". Then in 1915, the district went
for Morrow over Governor Stanley, ,
but in the succeeding election the ,
Presidential electors and Ben John =
sen carried the district over the Re- ,
publican electors and Ben johnson .
carried the district over the Repub-
lean electors and Mr.. Haswell by
mere than three thousand votes. =,
So, in answer to the question OF our I,
esteemed Democratic neighbor, we d
suggest that there is nothing the mat. n
.er with the Democrats of this dis n
riet, but on the contrary, the indiea-
IONS to us are that the Fourth Dis
riot will stand up next year with a h
'sesrd-breakins majority, when Ben v
Johnson will almost certainly be the v
congressional nominee of the Demo-
ratio party,

NUMBER OF ARMY OFFICERS
IN U. s. NOW 100000

With the adjournment of the See
ond Officers' Training Camp, just
completed, Official figures place the
number of officers in the United
States Army at 100. ooo--as many
officers as there were privates nine
months ago. The whole military es-
adjustment today, with the marines
and auxiliary forces included, num-
bers a million and half. From
1000 enlisted men nine months
ago, that branch of the, army has
grown to 100000, already one OF
the biggest factors with which Hin
denburg is forced to reckon in his
campaign for the year 1918.
This army constitutes the largest
armed force that the Western Hemis-
phere has ever seen. If the whole
army could be lined UP to-day, in q
solid infantry column, four abreast,
it would reach across Ohio from
Cincinnati to Toledo, and on to the
Michigan line.
The highest total engaged at any
one time in the Civil War was reach
ed during the final year OF the strug-
gle, when the Federal army totalled
$4,000 men. The figure 400. 900,
sometimes quoted as the enlisted |
strength" of the Federal Army, in
eluded great numbers Of re-enlist-
ments.
The American army already far
outnumbers the force with which
Great Britain entered the war. The
First Expeditionary Force that sail
ed for France numbered barely 10o,-
000-a contemplate little army"
the Kaiser called it, prior to a mora
thorough acquaintance with it gain
ed at Mons. This army, and the en-
that it brought to the
French, were sufficient to avert de-
feat in the FIRST year of the war, and
to save Paris from the on-rushins
Huns.
A force ten or twelve times as
great, which America is sending to
Europe, say the military experts,
should ensure victory.
A large part of these forees-it is
not known just what proportion
are still in the training camps OF tn.
still undisciplined soldiers.
But not all OF them. OF the new
American force, more than 100000 (
men are Regulars, members of what
