TONNAGE" IS THE GROWING PROBLEM
Increased Needs for Carrying Troops and Supplies Demand Greatest Effort Ever Put Forth in
 Ship Building.

London, Friday, Sept. : Delayed by the Censor) Ut is learned here that the entente governments have agreed that the shipping situation is the most serious problem of all those facing the entente at the beginning of the fourth winter of the war and Eevery effort will be made during the coming months to impress the peo- pie of England and America with the fact that the greatest effort of the whole war will be necessary to solve it. A government official informed the Associated Press today
 There is no disguising the fact that the shipping situation is seri- ous Do not misunderstood me-the shipping situation has not grown serious thru any increased success of the German submarine warfare. As a matter of fact the German sub marine war is being held down very well and the average sinkings show no increase either in ships or ton mage. The sinking in the Atlantic main routes are now very low and the greater proportion of the sink ings occur in out-of-the-way spots. indicating either that the subma- |rines have been driven far afield or Ia larger number of them are oper- ating
 Demand Is Increasing.
 But the total available tonnage is shrinking slightly, while on the oth- Ter hand, the demands for tonnage from all directions are increasing tremendously. Where three ships were needed a year ago, four are needed now France is very short of coal, one Of the vital neeessaries for winter. Italy is short of coal. and the shortage is so serious that it is causing the Italian government the utmost concern. For all these shortages there is only one remedy, namely, tonnage.
 But a still more important de- mand for tonnage comes from America whence the entente great reserve of men must come this winter. The necessity for tonnage to transport the American army and keep them supplied is perhaps the most important feature of the shipping situation
 50 the entente statesmen have arrived al the conclusion that the winning Of the war will depend on the new effort which will be de- manded of England and America this winters an effort to push quick ly to completion--more quickly than ever attempted before-fleet upon fleets of ships to carry the sinews of war to the fighting nations"

Some Have Lucid Moments.

Don't for a moment get the mo- ton that all socialists are pacifistsl
 For that matter, it would be wrong to conclude that all of them are crazy all the time some have lucid moments. at least For in stance, here's a Minneapolis socialist leader by the name of Simons, who gave his associates some good ad- vice.
 If J. P Morgan and were facing a pack of wolves. before would thresh out the economic problem with him I'd ask him to take a gun and fight of the animals If we want peace today we must fight for 1t If you stand in the road and interfere with the government and if by a single hour you delay a victorious peace, your hands are red with the blood of our own men. To interfere with the government isn't pacifism, it is murder" :"

SURVEYS FOR HIGHWAY IN
 WASHINGTON AND CRAWFORD
From The Fort smith Times Record.

From The Fort Smith Times Record.
 Early completion of road dis tricts for building highway thru Crawford and Washington counties of this state, the portion of the mountain trail having the hardest work, is assured by notice received in this city "Wednesday night that the promoters of the road district thru Washington county had com pleted arrangements with the state highway commission for the sur- yeying of that route. The party that has been making the survey thru Crawford county, has been instruct ed to make the survey, and accord ing Co advices received in this city, they crossed the line into Wahsing- ton county Thursday morning, the survey of the Van Buren, Winslow highway having been completed on Wednesday It is expected the sur Ney thru Washington will be com pleted inside of ton days and that estimates will be made up as soon as possible thereafter.
 The official route from here to Little Rock will be on the south side of the river the west half of the dis lance. This is due Co the fact that the people between here and Dar- danelle have been more energetic and persistent in the building of roads than those on the north side of the river.

ROAD MEETING IN COUNTY.
Much Bitterness shown Toward Those Favoring Jefferson Highway.

There was a road meeting at Oak Grove school house, a few miles east of Mena Saturday night, at which local preacher, the Rev. Mir. Whitaker, spoke against the enter prise and all who favored it, and Judge J. |. Alley for it.
 Mir Whitaker is reported as say ing many bitter and unkind things against the town folks, and partic- ularly the Commercial Club, which he designated as a grafting organi- dation. He praised Judge Wear highly for his opposition to the highway
 Judge Alley expressed regret that such plain efforts to align the country people against the town should meet with approval and ap- plause, and then went into the highway question on a more logical basis, and is said to have made a splendid talk in which he avoided all oiIensiveness and personalities. At the end a number came 10 him and expressed themselves as pleased, and as having been misled by the talks they had heard from the road opponents

They received orders to re- port at Little Rock Tuesday of this week, and as I write these lines they are busy getting ready for their trip. 4 banquet was rendered to tine company by the Girls Military Club, followed by a ball, and several weeks later box supper was given for their benefit. which netted the handsome sum of sig. This event was also given under the auspices of the G. NJ. c., and the organization gave each of the truck boys a feath- CT pillow, which was greatly appre- ciated Shortly after mobilizing the truck company was mustered into the regular service. In the ex- animation the company fell short ten men, and this deficiency will be made up at Little Rock. 4 majority of the members of the company were from the farms and when they began to drill they were very awk- ward and most of them acted as tho they were starting out on a pie nie As the days went by they be- gan to straighten up, and their faces to assume a grave expression Dur ing the last ten days of their stay they have been marching and coun- ter-marching like veteran soldiers As write these lines ] can hear the tlnkle of piano player in a nearby electric theater- and I can hear the shuille of many feet as the truck boys, as we call them, are enjoying Ia little farewell hop with their sweethearts.

MnEN TnE wAR coMEs HOME.

More than ever on this day. Sep- iember i9, 1917. the war is brought home to the people of Mena and Polk county and Arkansas for it is on this day that scores of our finest boys are going from home and fire side to the training camps, and, after that step to the battleflelds of Eu rope.
 We have become used to looking at it in the abstract away over there. Now it is so different.
 That most of the s7 boys arc sad at leaving their parents, brothers, sisters, and some wives and sweet hearts. all will concede, but their hearts are stimulated by thoughts of going to do, or die, if need be, in defense of their country and in the thoughts, too, of the great adven- ture before them.
 The saddest, then. are those left behind those who must face the drab days of waiting and anxiety thru the uncertainty as to what fate holds for their loved ones. And if tears are shed it is but human it is hard to give up a dear compan- isiiship thru duty's caii-even that which concerns the life and future and freedom of our country.
 But in Polk county we hear it de- clared on every side that it is bet ter to keep the war over there to send our boys and our food and mu- nitions, to strive and strain to win our fight in Europe than to let our allies suffer defeat and then have the lighting, the devastation, the German brutality brought to our land, to our homes, our wives, daughters, our aged and our chil- dren.
 And when that thought comes home, as it did to father on Mena's streets today, the declaration to his hoy was;
 ..Goi Fight. kill, and die, if neces- sary, to protect your home, your flag, your countryl"
 Such is the spirit that is uphold
  ing the fathers and mothers-all who today are making the sacrifice that is asked of them by their coun- try.
 The heroism is not all in those who are marching away

LBen Q. Eastin. SecretarYl

Will Ship Cream--In response to a notice from this office, Mrs. Sallie Ehrct states that she will be among the first to join the club Of cream shippers, and asks that we obtain a supply of milk cans for her.
 Cream is now bringing ii cents the pound f. Q. b. Mena, and the farmers may find a ready market for this product by applying to the secretary.
 Looking for Land -Dr. j. Frank of Farmers Branch, Dallas county, Texas, has been in the city for the past few days looking for farm land. The doctor says his first impression was not what he expected, but that after looking over the country and noting the various crops produced, he has become a good convert, and hopes to make a deal for a tract of land before returning home. He was especially "smitten' with Jansen park, and says it is the prettiest na- tural park he has ever visited.
 Ship P0tatOes-J M Hawthorne was another good farmer who found a market thru this organization. We shipped a nice lot of potatoes for him last Saturday, netting him Sl.50 per bushel for the lot.
 Seed Wheat Mrs. Josephine Dickinson, one of the progressive farmers and enthusiastic Jefferson Highway boosters of Hatfield, called Friday to place nice lot of seed wheat on sale. Mrs. Dickinson grows enthusiastic when good roads are mentioned. @nd says that if the matter was left to the women farm CTS we would not only have the Jefferson Highway, but that im- proved roads would be the rule all over Polk county.
 Makes Good Bean SaIe-Jas. NJ. pegram. dairyman and farmer. re- ports very satisfactory returns on string beans from the market se- cured for him by the Commercial Club, and will continue as an inde- pendent shipper.
 Making MOlasses-W William Low cry of Wickes, one of the first farm CTS to take membership in this club, and who has benefited upon several occasions by sales made for him, has placed on exhibition in this of- fee samples of very enticing new crop of cane syrup, for which he seeks a market.
 New Farmer Member M. B. Fried. one of Biz Forks push-ahead farm CTS. came in Monday to enroll as a farmer member, and incidentally to find a market for his new crop of molasses. Mr. Fried says he be- lieves the Mcna Commercial Club is doing a great work for all of Polk county, and thai he will soon have a nice display of farm products in this office to help out in the demon- stration department of the work.
