RED CROSS is HEAVY !"
LOSER IN THE FIRE
WORKROOM EQUIPMENT AND
SUPPLIES VALUED AT $1,000
pEsTRoYEo-oPEN IN MARIAN
MA MOTOR eco. BUILDING.

The Mariana chapter of the Red
Cross was a heavy loser in the Dig
fire on Tuesday morning. The work
rooms located on the second floor
of the McMClintock building were
DESTROYED with all contents. The
loss is placed at $4,000 with no in
surance.
The ladies had been working hard
on a big shipment of hospital sup
plies and were ready to box the ar
ticles and send them to New YORK.
The products of several weeks hard
labor. all the surplus supplies, sew
ing machines, tables and records
were lost.
Mrs. ]. |. Morris. secretary OF the
chapter, stated this morning j. y.
Ewart. manager of the Mariana
Motor Company had offered the dis
play room In his new building on the
corner of West Main and Church
streets to the Red Cross Chapter, and
Mrs. Morris said the offer had been
accepted. The chapter needs new
equipment. such as sewing machines,
tables. chairs, etc. Those who nave
any of these supplies that can be
spared for use in the Red Cross
work room are requested to notify
Mrs. Morris at once. The ladies 90
not wish to lose any time from their
work and will resume operations
lust as soon as they can secure the
necessary equipment.
Mrs. Morris states her regular
weekly report that appears elsewhere
in this issue is not complete for the
reason her records we're lost in the
fire.

defenseless boats and the destruction
of negligible amount of property is
the way to break the Yankee spirit
A German people, unaware that we
have sent more than 100000 SOL
diers to France and that we are
represented in the present battle by
seven army corps, German size, may
swallow such rot.
But does the German admiralty
send costly submersibles 5000 miles
on such little errands? 1t is impos-
sible. The submarine that performed
on Sunday morning was undoubtedly
assigned to lie in wait for the troop
ships. Her commander, however,
chose to fire at a tug which towed
three empty barges and fourth
barge laden with stone. He used
three torpedoes,' worth perhaps $45,-
900 at home and of incalculable value
at sea under certain circumstances,
and ended his work with a great
number of shells. Was it mere rage?
No, for brave undersea commander
could have vented his schrecklich
venom as well in battle with a
transport. 1t was rage, but mixed
with cowardice and despair. The gal
liant commander may have been tenn
pied sorely by the sight of women
and children on board the barges,
but it was not entirely to drown them
that he attacked the inconsequental,
harmless fleet. He was sick of these
waters, sick of his own failure to
hunt and fight the transports. Once
rid of his torpedoes he could go
home and lie about his great Sunday
morning battle.
What that submarine commander
was, Germany is-futile furious,
hopeless, striking right and left in
the blindness of despair; lost and
more horribly aware of 1t than the
most optimistic of her foes.-New
York Sun.

WHALE BITING AT FLIES
The striking feature of the Germ,

The striking feature of the German
submarines performance off the Mas
sachusette coast is not boldness, for
it was a cowardly performance. 1t
is not it's unexpectedness, for Ameri-
ca became accustomed to that sort of
thinp at the time of the raids off
New Jersey. What stands out just
beyond the righteousness of ter.
rifle assault with torpedoes and shells
upon a tug and few barges, is the
despair of it. The whale is biting at
flies.
1t is reported that Washington in

MUST GET LICENSE
TO OPERATE GINS

Notwithstanding repeated announce
ments on the subject, many persons
have begun the erection of gins in
various parts of the state, unmindfIi
of the fact that before any enterprise
of this nature may be operated it
will be absolutely necessary to have
a license from the United States
food administration. Approaching
the fact that it will no doubt save
considerable expenditure for those
who may not realize the necessity for
a license, Hamp Williams, federal
food administrator for Arkansas, re-
quests that all who contemplate erect
ing gins make application to his
office before any work of this nature
is undertaken.
The United States food admins
tration has requested that all appli-
cations for a gin be given careful
investigation by state and county
food administrators, and that gins
that have been built and are being
operated without the official license
be stopped at once.
"a license to build and operate a
gin," explained Mr.. Williams, will
not cost the applicant a penny. The
license is free, but the government
demands that application for permits
sion be made first. All who contem-
plate building gins should write to
my office and we will give their ap-
plication immediate attention. Do
not, however, go into the gin bust
ness without license, for you will
not get anywhere and only have end

warning will be given due consider
