IL VESSELS SUNK I'm
WEEKS DRIVE BY PLUNCERS

U-boat snipers have II vessels as
their toll after a weeks hard work,
according to latest dispatches. These
are coastwise ships, mostly fishing
smacks and tankers. The raiders
are still at large although it is pos
sible one was sunk by bombs.
U-boat commanders have failed
completely to force relaxation of pro-
lection to transports and supplies
bound for Europe by their daring at
tempts along the coast. Naval
officials were still firm that ship lanes
to Europe must be guarded first al
though they are increasing their pro-
lection along the coast at the same
time. Fishing vessels working Off
New England are being guarded now.
Sinkings have taken place all along
the coast.

land roll of 1917 You should allow
no other deduction than that for real
estate. If you allow deductions for
unearned interest, insolvent accounts
or pro rata to equalize with other
assessments as be claimed by some
banks, the Tax Commission will COM
pei you to alter your roll so as to
restore such vlaues to the roll. We
can estimate those assessments to be
for the book value. There seems to
be some confusion in the assessments
of some counties whereby banks and
other property are listed to columns
provided for the assessment of other
property such errors must be adjust
ed so that all properly will appear
in the proper column roll.
There seems to be an undervalua-
ton of railroad steel used by logging
roads. This should not be assessed
for less sum than one thousand dol
lars per mile, and in many cases
should be assessed for much more
Let US have fair, equitable and
just assessment of taxes for 1918.
We expect to- do our part by fixing
fair total assessments for each class
of property for each county, and we
insist that you do your part by fixing
the assessments fairly and equitably
between the tax payers of your
county.
Yours very truly,

With all the counties heard from
in Tuesdays Mississippi senatorial
primary, Congressman B. P. (Pat)
Harrison has been nominated by a
majority in excess of 5000 votes on
the face of returns, some of them in
complete, from every county in the
state.
His opponents were Senator James
X. Vardaman, of Jackson, and former
Gov. E. F. Noel, of Lexington. A
few of the counties were incomplete,
but it was believed there were not
enough votes unreported to reduce
Harrison's majority lower than 1000

-FOUR MILLION YANKS
CAN WHIP GERMANY.
Present Plans of War Depart
ment Call for More Than
That NumbeS Next SPRING
March, Baker, Crowder Talk
of War Program.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Four
million American soldiers can defeat
the German army, is the belief of
General March, chief of staff, and
present plans of the War Department
call for more than that number under
arms next summer with some $780,
600 of them, or 80 divisions in France
by June 80.
These and othre important facts
concerning the nations effort in the
war as given to the Senate Military
Committee by Gen March, Secretary
Baker and Provost Marshal General
Crowder, were revealed by Chairman
Chamberlain in presenting to the Sen
ate the administration man power bill
Gen. March stated it was the pur-
pose to end the great world struggle
quickly and decisively. For the ma
ton not to put forth its maximum
effort at once, the chief of staff de-
clared, would be but playing Ger
many's game"
Thirty-one American divisions or
approximately 100000 are now in
France with as many more in camps
in this country as reservoir. Secre-
tary Baker said that the accelerated
program of troop movements over
seas which has enabled Gen. Perish
ing to organize his first field army of
some 250,000 men will be continued
of the generous action of the British
government in supplying shipping.
To carry out the present program
of eighty divisions overseas as by
June 80, nearly 2,000,000' men must
be sent to France in the next eleven
months. Mr. Baker would not be
drawn into any discussion of the
country's ability to transport men,
but II is known that many more than
that number could be landed in the
war zone at the present rate of ship
ment.
Gen. March told the committee, ac-
cording to the report to the Senate
that he was in favor of young men
for the army and youths registered
under the new draft law would be in
France by June 80. He estimated
some 100000 men qualified for full
military service would be secured
from the new registrants and he out
lined the calls for the next year or
more as follows:
August 100000; September 2OO,-
600; October $4,000; November
100000; January 100000; February
10000, and 100000 monthly there
after until the end of the next year.
These calls would aggregate 4,205,-
900 against the estimate of 2,300,-
900 to be had from the new registra-
ton, but no explanation was made of
this and other discrepancies in the
draft figures. Gen. Crowder has said
the present reservoir in Glass / will
be exhausted by next October /, but
Secretary Baker made it plain the
reservoir of men now in camp in this
country is sufficient to keep up the

Girdles Do Not Confine.

Whatever else the buyers tell you
about the new French girdles, they in
sist that they must not hold the waist
in for even an eighth of an inch. There
are no curves today. These girdles are
made of brilliant materials, and tulle
is one of the new fabrics that have been
chosen.
The gown in the sketch shows a
skirt of taffeta in biscuit color. worn
with a simple, round bodice of chiffon
in the same shade as the skirt, but
made more brilliant by it's embroidery
of gold You will notice that the
sleeves are cut Off at the elbow and
widened at the hem. and the reason
that you should notice it is it's i'm
portance. The short sleeve and the
round. half low neck have. to a great
extent, replaced the long. tight sleeve
and the high collar, which have been
entire failures.
The girdle on this frock is of bright
coral tulle. 1t is wrapped around the
waist in careless folds and knotted in
that peculiar way which has become
fashionable throughout all costumery
and which is taken from the sailors.
1t might be well to remember that II
you wish to make half worn gown
without much character into a smart
looking gown with character, you can
do it through the addition of one of
these brilliant new girdles. 1t is not
necessary to use tulle. A bit of COL
ored satin. Chinese embroidery, even
chair upholstery or brocade curtains
may be wrapped about the waist and
tied with or without ends.

Nanny Meadow Mouse is naturally
timid. Danny is. too. for the matter o!
that. but who wouldn't be in their place?
Just think of never knowing single day
when you could move about without the
certainty that before the day ended you
would have to dodge and run or hide for
your life at least once and perhaps sew
eral times. Do you wonder that Danny
and Nanny are timid?
But Nanny isn't quite so bold as Dan
ny and every little thing makes her
heart go pit-a-pat with fright So when
she heard Danny calling her as he ran
she Instantly made up her mind that
something dreadful had happened or was
going to happen and she shook all over
as she waited for Danny to come in
sight. She felt perfectly sure that be-
hind him she would see Old Man
Coyote or Reddy Fox or some other
enemy, and she was prepared to run
the instant she should know what to
run from.
Suddenly Danny darted out from one
of his little private paths right in front
OF her, and, though he was so excited
that he was unable for a minute to do
anything but call her name in his funny
squeaky voice. it was plain to see that
ne wasn't afraid. The relief to Nanny
was so great that she straightway be-
