C. T. r., Lynchburg.-Thc tonnage
of ship is the carrying capacity or
weight of the ship expressed in tons
There are four ways OF expressing IT.:
Gross tonnage, net tonnage, dead
weight carrying capacity and displacc-
mcnt tonnage. The gross tonnage Of a
ship is asccrtaincd by dividing by 100
the whole interior capacity expressed
in cubic feeD OF the hull of ship
and its incloscd lighthouses; this
method presumcs that an average
cargo of light weight freight will re-
quirc not far from 90 cubic feet for
each ton of actual weight. Net ton
mage is derived from the gross ton
mage by dcducti:g the capacity of all
spaces not used for cargo or passen-
gers. The dead weight tonnage is the
actual weight OF cargo Il vessel can
carry without immersing 1t too deeply
for safety. Displacement tonnage is
the weight Of ship and cargo or con-
tents when Immersed to some fixed
depth. For war vessels the displacc-
mcnt tonnage Is usually given for an
arbitrary condition called lat normal
draft" which is assumed TO be the
average seaGoing condition. with about
two-thirds OF all fuel and stores. For
merchant vessels tho displacement is
usually given for the full load con-
dit!on--that u.s. when tho ship il i'm
mcrscd to its Plimsoll mark.

end OF the battle front apparently is being
securely held.
The enemy is hurting dense masses Of
troops against the British, and his losses have
already reached appalling proportions. For
every foot of ground gained he is paying u
fearful price in killed.
While the British have been forced to
yield ground. it by no means implies that
they have sustained serious disaster. The
battle is still in its initial stage and General
Iiaig doubtless anticipated that it would take
the course it has. if the enemy was willing
to pay the price. His orderly retirement to
prepared positions indicates that the element
OF surprise has not interfered with his pre-
arranged plans for determining just where
the stand shall be made which will decide
the issue OF the whole battle. Allied general
ship has not been caught mapping, and we
have that confidence in its strategy which
encourages the belief that for the Germans
their present onslaught will prove another
Nerdun on more disastrous scale.

Argentina still delays declaring war

fected by vote Of the two houses of Congress
favorng sHch" action. The President of the
republic, unfortunately, stands out against
the declaration. However, the ties between
the republic and the allies are steadily being
strengthened. Recently an agreement has
been reached by which France will purchase
large amount OF supplies from her, in addi-
ton TO the 100000 tons of wheat which she
promised in January to the allies This will
prove helpful, and later may be followed by
larger assistance. Food will help win the

Good people all. this lit,lc song

And mother starts her busting,
Is just to keep the yearly theme
OF every poetastcrs dream
From rotting out or rLsting.
Or breaking up or busting.
For as you know. who ponder verse.
Some good. some better. mostly worse,
Who writes sans rime or reason
Must grab his calendar betmes
Fer opportunities for rimes--
And 'twcrc poetic treason
To slight the cleaning season.
He writes. who would do duty we'll
And please Il hungry clientele.
OF New Year, Easter, Christmas.
OF All Fools Day and Halloween
And an the holidays between,
From New York to the Istmas,
Until he has stTabistn.aS.
And so the time approaches when
Yours truly. and all writing men.

From summary sun to wintry snow.
