GERMANY WILL NEVER REGAIN
 MARINE POWER

FIRTH OF FORTH, Scotland, Nov. 26.-By the surrender of her ships of war and the capture and internment of her magnificent marine fleet the navigation of Germany is ruined be- yond all possible reconstruction. so it is believed.
 A German officer on board one of the warships that surrendered to the allies stated as follows: Nov we have only dishonorable record. None will want to serve in a dis graced service" It Is believed from the expression given that even the sailors of the German marine are ashamed of the humiliation put upon them by the allies and will seek the shipping of other nations to follow their trade.
 The German fleet was in a de- plorable condition when 1t surrender. ed. The lack of paint was noticeable; i; the ships smelled mouldy. owing to the electric ventilation systems be. ing out of commission and to all ap- pearances they had been neglected long time for the lack of funds to give them even the slightest atten. tion.

AUTO OWNERS BE RELIEVED
 OF TAXATION

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The sen ate finance committee, at meeting today, decided to strike from the war revenue bill the proposed federal tax on the use of automobiles and motor cycles.
 It was pointed out that the owners of machines were paying high prices for their gasoline, oils and acces- sories. and the added tax would make the operation of the cars prohibitive or else would be included in the high CT charges made by those who use their autos as a means of revenue.
 The striking out of the war tax indicates that the sources of reve- nue have been well studied out and no unnecessary taxes will be i'm posed.

TO -0BJECT TO THE
 SHIP TRANSFER

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The United States government refuses to approve of the transfer to British syndicate of eighty-five vessels of British register which are owned by the International Mercantile Marine corporation. The government holds that the corporation is doing business on American soil and the vessels are operating out of American ports; therefore the government has some say as to their disposition, if they are to be disposed of at all and will not countenance transfer under any con- dition, especially as the ships have been under the protection of the United States during the war.
 The government offers to buy the vessels under the same terms as have been offered by the British corpora tion wishing to purchase them. The liners are of the latest construction and include some of the most im- portant in Atlantic shipping circles. Many of them are of the class of the steamship Olympic.

The address of Senator Sherman, of Illinois flaying President Wilson, and other cabinet officials lacks weight of argument or reason. It is replete with party politics and old fogy policies, long ago, discarded by his own party. Uncle Joe Cannon, possibly suffered a tinge of conscience, after reading the account of this "wise mans views" which for the most part were biased and not based on fact or reason.
 The address intended for political affect will probably result in a boomerang for the "all wise" man from Illinois.
 He charges that the Democrats are "doing politics in the same old way"
 The real trouble is that the Demo- crats are not playing politics and the Republicans desire that politics be played in the old way" in pork bar rel fashion" Sherman just can't req lize that the old steam roller controll- ed, by Uncle Joe has been sent to the scrap heap for disposal as junk.

CAUSES FOR SOME THOT.
-W. S. S

The governments cotton report is sued this week is one which should give the farmers of Dixie, cause for sober thot.
 Planting the largest acreage in the country's history, the crop this sea- son will be approximately the same as for the last three years. This will be disconcerting to all farmers turnout the country. The total number of bales this year is estimated at 11,137,- 900 which is about three and a half million, short of what was expected.
 To make up on this shortage the farmers must plant fall wheat and other products that will bring them a return in money. Else the high prices that will be offered for cotton this 4all, will fall short of "tiding them overp during the winter.

NOT SURPRISING

The evident confusion of the Ger man armies when surrounded on all sides and attacked with precision like accuracy, is not surprising to those who are familiar with their tactics. Once started on the run they will never stop. This is realized by Strategtist Foch, who is giving them no rest.
 Once before the Allies had the Boche's retreating but after pushing them for several miles, stopped to rest. Marshal Foch does not intend to give this respite again. One con- tinuous drive, until German territory is reached, is evidently his plan.
 The case of the Germans at present is like that of the negro who saw a ghost. After running a marathon for about mile, the negro stopped to rest. The ghost also stopped and set down on the log which the negro had chosen for his place of rest. Well we sure did run, didn't we," said the ghost, by the way of opening the line of conversation. "H-ll no," re- piled the darky, you just wait a minute and will show you some run ming"
 The Germans have just begun to run. The ghost is right up with the Hun and intends to keep up.

Automobile drivers in Pine Bluff have apparently disregard for ped estrians. On the same hand few "jay walkers" have utter lack of res pect for the automobile. As a conse- quence much grief results to the three parties concerned.
 Several accidents of minor nature occur every day. Unless the drivers, the pedestrians and the ''jay walkers" have respect for one another, serious results are sure to ultimately occur.
 In this respect it might be mention ed that several of the railway street crossings in Pine Bluff could be inn proved. Crossings at several points are places of danger, for autoists who are forced to drive across the tracks.
