The go- vernment owns the line be- tween this place and the fort, and hitherto the busi- ness has been handled by w. B. Woods, manager of the Postal Telegraph Go. MT.

 The ringing of the church bells in Holbrook every night at 9 o'clock since Tues day night was i n compliance with ar e quest made by the Nation al Liberty Loan committee. This committee desired all church bells throughout the United States rung at the same hour so that the people might be reminded of their duty to buy the Liberty Bonds. The request was transmitted to all sections ot the country by the telephone companies, the local tele- phone company passing the request on to the churches in Holbrook.
 Arnold, the eleven year old son of J. M. Lee, agent for the Santa Fe in Hol. brook, is probably the youn- gest investor in Navajo coun- ty in the Liberty bonds.

Housewives Urged to Save LaTge-NecK'

Housewives are urged to save bot
ties. especially wide necked ones, to
be used for preserving, in a bulletin
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The department points
out that there threatens to be a sert-
GUS shortage of regular jars and pre-
serving cans this fall. Fruits and
jams. when sealed with corks or para
fin. can be kept perfectly in bottles.
Fruit juices may also be packed in
small-necked bottles. 4.
Specialists of the Department are
urging canning clubs and housewives
not only to can products. but to dry
fruits as well. Nothing, they advise.
should be canned that can be preserv-
ed otherwise. The bulletin says:
Candy containers, or other glass
jars with cre tops or glass shoppers,
and in fact any receptacle Of glass.
Crockery, or porcelain. a be sealed

ten dollars each for the banquet ticket

COCKTAILS SIDETRACKS WOODEN

Submarine Menace Constitutes Most
pisieuIt Problem With Which Ship
ming Board Has to Contend.

fci1s6n Gardner in Charlotte Observer
washington, May 1S.-Addit1on OF
General Goethals to the shipping Doaro
has resulted in an entire change In the
wooden ship program.
For some reason the wooden ship
idea has been practically given up,
and General Cocktails is planning LOT
steel ships.
Contractors have received notlce
that contracts are cancelled and
stead of tremendous tonnage OF WOOD
en- ships to be ready in six months the

What is the answer to the German
submarine?
1t may be said with authority the
specific for the submarine mas not
been found. 1t is being sought eager
ly-almost feverishly-for on n out
come of the search may depend the
outcome of the a
England is being throttled by Ger
man submarines.
The naval advisory board has been
working on the problem, but W1tnout
definite results. Much labor has been
spent considering proposed solutions
Some looking promising.
This is the situation:
A submarine cannot fight a suoma-
rine. Under water a submarine is
blind.
Surface shipping is practically at the
mercy of the submarine.
With increased size and radius OF
new submarines no ports are safe from
surprise.
A Nation which can build 100 car
build 1000. Germany has ceased
building battleships and is ~concentrat-
ing on larger submarines.
The most formidable craft known to
| naval warfare is 10 match for the SUB
marine. The battle fleets of both
England and Germany have been dr1V-
on to cover by enemy submarines.
The answer probably is to be touno
along one of three lines:
New invention for sealing OF
breaking up bases from which sub
marines operate.
2.-Submersible cargo ships of large
tonnage.
3-Some marvel of electrical in
vention which will detect a submarine
at a distance or detonate an explosive
at a distance and without contact.
One plan for temporary cargo car
riers is to build large wooden submer'
sible craft not unlike ~whalebacks, }bu

Washington. May 18.-German sub
marines are being held in their home
bases by a new and greatly strength
ened patrol system. In this patrol the
American destroyer squadron is doing
its bit" and doing it well. according to
confidential advices reaching members
OF the foreign missions now here.
That is the real reason why there
has been a falling OF in the number of
sinkings. And the experts here who
are aware of what is going on declare
that never again will Germany have a
million ton" month.
The cure for the submarin evil lie
fast d~estroyers. well armed and eqip-
ped, which will watch the outlets from
the submarine bases. That is exactly
what is going on, officials say, at the
present time on the other, side of the
ocean. There are only certain chan
ne1s through which the big submarines
now being used by Germany can get to
the open sea. These are now being
watched SO carefully that it is esti-

wanted by the British and French adj
miralties.
Reports reaching Washington today
j from Scandinavia countries indicate
that Germany now is holding a num-
| Der of her biggest and best feet sub
marines at strategic points. 1t is sug-
| gested that these vessels are intended
for a raid against the Atlantic coast Of
the United States. Naturally officials
who know the facts will not discuss
this suggestion. but it can be assumed
that every possible precaution has been
taken to guard against it.
The navy feels good over the knowl-
edge that it's vessels and men are on
> the job overseas. This fact is expect
ed greatly to stimulate recruiting n
to help in many other ways in stirrin"
I'D enthusiasm. The scientists will
| continue their search for a new meth
cd of coping with the submarines. but
officials say. it is certain that the sure
way is to build more and more de-
strOvers and get them into commission
wherever there is a chance that a sub
marine may be located.
