 League, 7:15 a. m.
 Preaching, S:15 p. m. Subject: What is the Fire in Hell that Never Shall be Quenched.
 The interest in the services has grown from the beginning. Have had 10 or more conversions. Let all the church membership do their utmost during the continuance of the services the next few days.
 You are not only lying down on the job if you are not attending these services but are cheating yourself out of great spiritual uplift.

 or anyway, we like their good works. They have killed seven wolves recent ly.
 Something, supposed to be the wolves, caught eleven of Mrs. Hula Sullivan's turkeys two or three weeks ago.
 The thresher is getting close enough to hear the whistle. It'll be here some sweet day after awhile Some are getting anxious.
 Mrs. Sarah Oliver and grand daughter, Miss Floye returned to their home at Mcguire Friday after several days visit with relatives here. Isaac Ferguson, on. of Uncle Sam's chosen, left Sunday for Camp Shelby. Miss. Isaac will be greatly missed here, but our best wishes go with him. Miss Josie Ferguson, Mrs. Eula Sullivan and son Earl, Isaac Fergu- son and Lois Byrd took trip to Eu- reka Springs last week. When they came home they reported crops good there They are so much better than those north of here.

fic. Therefore the director OF the port
contends, even though the Government
may lend generously to the upbuildlng
and equipment of the harbor, It Is OF
prime concern that the opinions OF ship
owners and the interests of shipping gen.
erally here should be needed before max
ing any plans that have for their ultimate
aim coordination with an entirely differ
ent system of transportation, the rail-
roads of the country.
Must Meet Foreign Demands, Too.
World trade does not involve accommo-
dating only our own vessels; it includes OF
necessity those of other nations, and re-
auires that we provide for them eonven-
fences and facilities to which they are
accustomed. We cannot prescribe the
sorts of ships that foreigners should
build; but we can make it profitable and
easy for them to do business with US by
providing for them every physical aid
when they seek our ports. New YORK
in the past has done this very thing, al
though perhaps not to the extent winch
may be expected hereafter, and New
Workers are probably better able than out
siders to decide what should be done TO
maintain the port as the nations greatest
focal point of oversee trade
1t is undeniable that we have not sur
ficient docking space to meet present con-
ditions and, therefore, are not eircuni-
staneed to deal adequately with the bust
ness that is bound to come in the near
future. To certain extent this situation
can be corrected. Thus something like
twelve or fifteen good sized piers could
be made available for carly use if the
handling of railroad freight were unified.
There are forty-six piers now occupied
by railroads on the water front of New
York, and third Of these are scarcely
utilized, but are jealousy held by the
lines concerned simply because they have
leases on them.
The director of the port has recon-
mended the expenditure over period OF
four years of $2O,413,44s. As he has
repeatedly said: money SO obligated is
really an investment, for the piers of this
city have brought and will always bring in
a handsome return. 1t is up to Greater
New York to recognize this and to take
prompt steps to safeguard our supremacy
and to do its part toward the nation at
large in this way"

east. Mitteleuropa, so-called, was to be
her bridgehead. And how terribly near
she came to succeeding!
"As developments have shown, she was
beaten by two serious miscaleulations.
England was not expected to come in at
the beginning, and the Turkish head of
the Moslem church was counted on at
the right stage to arouse the entire No
hammedan world in a holy war, naturally
at the expense of Great Britain. Naturally,
too, we should fight back, and fight Ger
many, but by the time the German cards
were thus exposed France was to have

the long established order of things, the
United States Shipping Board recon-
mended that freight be diverted to south
Atlantic and Gulf ports on account Of
'the inadequate facilities in the port Of
New York"
Last July Roy D. Chaplin, chairman Of
the highways transport committee of the
Council of National Defence, said, speak
ing to the Merchants Association of New
York:
"You have seen during the last six
months freight diverted TO many other
ports in this country due TO the impossi-
bility of handling that freight efficiently
through this port. 1t simply means that
if New York is to hold its place as far
a!i@&&d as it has in the past as the primary
port in this country every facility must be
perfected to handle all the incoming and
outgoing freight"
Not Yet at Peak of War Rush.
We have not yet reached the peak Of
the war service, but every new ship COM
missioned by the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration hastens the coming of that time.
1t has been authoritatively stated that
something just short of 40 per cent. of
the ships managed by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation are idle owing to their
undergoing repairs, &c. Why is this7 Is
it that the ships are actually having work
done on them to reft them for sea, or
is it that a goodly number of them have
repair facilities? This brings us to a
phase Of the subject of port equipment
which has to do with New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and the
other ports of the country.
1t is inevitable that an increased fleet
needs not only enough docks for the load
ing and discharging of freight but also
numerous dry docks and repair yards.
The bigger the merchant marine the larger
the number of vessels calling for repairs.
New York is short of these aids to ship
ping, though probably no worse off pro-
portionately that any of its seaboard
rivals.
In the latter part of June the announce
ment came from Washington that $685.
100000 had been asked of Congress by
the United States Shipping Board for the
purpose of building ten more dry docks.
These were to be located at Baltimore,
Mobile, Savannah, Jacksonville, Beau

war has laid its heaviest burden upon the
port of New York because of the harbor's
preeminenee and its existing facilities. In
consequence the needs of the nation have
absorbed to a, large measure what we have
Of available dock space. To just this e1-
tent commerce has been incommoded.
Mr.. Hubert says: During the past
year great difficulty was experienced in
providing accommodations for the 1921
vessels of foreign registry having a ton
mage Of about 100000 and 1,0S4 YES
sells of American registry having ton
mage of about 100000, which entered
this port. Any one possessing even
superficial knowledge of port problems
can readily appreciate how these difficult
ties will be increased during the coming
year in providing facilities for New
York's proportion of the 100000 tons
of shipping expected to be launched by
the United States Shipping Board, which
tonnage will be over and above the 49,
10000 tons taken care of in 1917"
Primary Problem That of Zonins.
While admitting the desirabiiity of i'm
provements in the way of loading and I'M
loading facilities, Mr. Hubert considers
the primary problem to be one of zon-
ing. As he says: I'm my judgment re-
adjustment of conditions Will be re-
quired after the war which will prae-
tically necessitate the coming of the port
for water transportation purposes"
The disposition on the part of the Fed
eral authorities is to insist upon degree
of Standardization, it is said, and it has
been suggested that facilities somewhat
akin to those employed in loading and un-
loading bulk cargo carriers on the lakes
should be employed here in New York.
To do this would call for an extensive
scrapping of special craft that fulfil their
missions admirably, especially in view of
the fact that they have to deal with all
sorts of ships and not with certain fixed
types which prevail almost exclusively on
the waters of the great lakes.
Again, because Of its geographical and
photographic characteristics the port of
New York is quite a different problem
from Boston, Philadelphia, &c. Shipping
came here before the days of the railroad,
and the railroads have found it to their
advantage to focus here because Of the
ports wide touch with ocean going traf-

This meant one dry dock apiece, an ap-
portionment absolutely out Of keeping
with the relative volume of water borne
commerce of this port.
True, other dry docks are being built
within the metropolitan zone and one Of
the very largest is that about to be started
on Newark Bay in connection with the
Federal Shipbuilding Company. This
dock will be one Of a group of four ca
pable of accommodating the largest mer-
chant ships afoat. They are to be of the
so-ealled craving type, that is, walled in
holes in the ground, permanent structures
of reinforced concrete. They are located
where they will be accessible only after
a channel of sufficient depth has been dug
in Newark Bay.
Admirable as the craving dock is, it is
not an economical repair agency except
when occupied simultaneously by two
ships that require the same amount of
work upon them or when filed with one
great craft The floating dock has ad
vantages over it in some respects.
The floating dry dock is commonly CON-
posed of separate sections which are
united only when their combined lifting
capacity is needed. At other times one
or two of the sections may suffice to ham
die the craft demanding attention. Again,
the entire lifting capacity of the dock may
he quite incapable Of sustaining the whole
dead weight of large ship and yet be
able to exert sufficient buoyancy to raise
clear of the water that part of the vessel
requiring repair. Further, the floating
dry dock can be built much more quickly
than craving dock of identical capacity
Floating Docks of Concrete.
Heretofore most floating docks have
been fashioned either entirely of steel or
of timber and steel combined, but latter1y
it has been demonstrated that docks of this
sort can be built of reinforced concrete
For these reasons the use of floating dry
docks instead of craving docks in some
cases is worth considering.
No matter if the rival seaports of the
country are modernized or ampifed in
their accommodations for ocean going
traffic, the fact still remains that New
York has won her commercial supremacy
