POLK COUNTY TO
 BUILD HIGHWAY
Watkins and Gardner and County Judge Wear in Session With Engineer Dove-Decided
 on Graded Highway.

After conference Monday between J. w Gardner and W. E. Watkins, two of the commissioners of Polk County Road Improvement District No. 1, and F. J. Dove of Winters & Dove, engineers, here from Fort Smith, it was decided that Mir Gard ner should go to Little Rock to consult with W. B. Owen, highway commissioner, relative to securing the S15,000 appropriated to Polk county on a modified road plan, and also to consult with authorities as to getting the road built thru the forest reserve, and with Gunter & Co.,, bond buyers. Mir Gardner left for Little Rock this afternoon.
 Report has come to the commits sioners of the State Highway De- partment was anxious to see the Polk county road built, and believed that Polk county, instead of some other county, should have the $15,000 appro- priated for the purpose, and under the circumstances was not inclined to insist up on troublesome technicali- ties in the case.
 County Judge A. E. Wear also met with the commissioners and entered fully into the discussion all agree ing that Polk county needs the road, and should build 1t as a start toward better roads. It also was agreed that a good graded froad could be built at from $30,000 to $35,O00, and that such road should be built at quickly as practicable.
 When Mir. Gardner returns with the desired information, if it is favorable, it is probable that the commission will get to work and push the building of the road.

GERMAN U-bOAT
 TRIES POISON GAS
Released by Means of OH That Spread Over Water Near Coast Guard Station-Six Men Overcome,
 None Fatally.

Washington, Aug. 12- Using poi soned gas, German submarine at tackled the coast guard station and lighthouse On Smith Island off the North Carolina coast Sunday night, the navy department tonight an- nounced Six men were overcome by gas.
 The gas was released from oil spread over the surface of the water by the submarine, the navy depart ment announcement said. Three large areas of the oil each larger than an acre of ground near the Island The gas which appeared similar to mus tard gas, used in fighting on the western front, was effective about 40 minutes. None of the men overcome by the fumes died.
 The announcement made by the navy department said:
 'The navy department has received a dispatch from commandant of the Sixth naval district, Charleston, s C., stating that an attack with ga! was attempted on the North Carolina coast about , o'clock Saturday after noon with the result of temporarily putting out of business the coas guard station and lighthouse person nel.' The report goes on to say:
 About 10 minutes after the attack three large oil spots, each over ar acre in extent, were observed passing by Smith Island to the north. This oil from which the gas was no doubt generated, must have been released from submarine in the vicinity of the entrance of the channel with the hope that it would come in with the tide, but the tide, fortunately, set along the Island.
 The incident was reported by Col. Chase to the naval district command ant. Smiths Island is off the mouth of the Cape Fear river near the en- trance of the channel to Wilmington, N. c.
