American and German Efficiency

The searchlight of war has
brought out many interesting
facts, and one of these is that the
vaunted German efficiency will not
always stand the test of compari-
son with American efficiency.
The Germans boasted of being
the greatest farmers on earth. In
vestigation shows that in efficiency
in agriculture, measured by the
produce per acre, America being
graded 100, Belgium leads the
world, at 205, Great Britain comes
second, at 1854; and Germany
third, at 1856; America comes
fourth.
But the better test is the man
test rather than the acre test, and
here America leads the world by
over 2 to l. Again, grading A
merica at 100 per farm worker,
Great Britain produces 43 and
Germany Al. The American farm
er cultivates 27 acres, the German
farmer but 7. With the aid of
vast quantities of fertilizer the
German produces more per acre,
but he produces at a much greater
cost per bushel and he produces
much less than half as much per
man.

Accidents Few in Aviation

Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning OF
training in June, 1917, to Febru-
airy %, 1918, the fatalities at mil
itary aviation fields in this coun-
try have been 81; 10 officers and
20 cadets killed in training flights,
and IL men killed in unauthorized
flights and ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviatorS
have flown considerably more
than 100000 miles. Hundreds of
hitherto inexperienced men have
been learning to fly. Their early
flights are under the guidance of
instructors, and prior to these
flights two OF, more months are
spent in preliminary ground work.
There comes a time, however,
when every student aviator must
take his machine up alone, and ev-
cry precaution has been taken to
reduce the number of accidents
and safeguard the aviator in his
solo flights.

FISH CONSERVATION
Discussed in Meeting in Jackson.
vile

Last Thursday, a large number
of fish dealers met with state and
federal officials in Jacksonville to
discuss the proposition to remove
the restrictions imposed by the
Florida law upon commercial fish
ing, The following special de-
spatch to the Tampa Tribune,
dated Tallahassee, Mch. 1st, gives
a resume of what was done at the
meeting:
Hon. w. A. McRae, commission.
er of agriculture, returned from
jacksonville today where he at
tended the meeting of fishermen
and dealers. At this meeting Ken
meth Foyler represented the food
administration and DR.. HI. f.
Moore the Bureau Of Fisheries.
Mr.. McRae said that there were
over 100 men at this meeting,
which was a continuation of one
held in Washington last week,
called to determine whether or
not the inland waters of Florida
should for the duration of the war,
have restrictions regarding catch
ing of fish removed.
Among interesting talks, was
that of DR.. H. l.. Hughlett, who,
as state senator from Brevard, st.
Lucie, Palm Beach, and Dade
counties, has in his district more
than 104 miles of the waters of the
Indian river. DR.. Hughlett show
ed what lack of conservation had
done in this river, stating that
thirty years ago it was almost i'm
possible to navigate a small boat
in that stream, so great was abun-
dance OF fish. Since that time the
waters had almost been depleted
of fish and that three years of re-
striction had proven that beyond
doubt, under present state laws,
there is material increase in fish.
He urged that control of inland
waters be left to state authorities.
Senator James Alexander, of Vo-
lusia county, took same position.
While no one knows what the
decision of the food administra-
ton will be, from expressions of
the great majority of those pres
ent, one might judge that restric-
tions will not be removed. No
doubt the decision will be reached
in few days, as the fifteenth of
March is the time for government
licensing.

Big ROAD QUESTION
Being CONSIDERED
Bv Commissioners of Lee and De-
Soto Counties
JOINT MEETING IN ARCADIA
Strong Efforts Being Made to Di-
vert State Road via Bermont to
Olga and Leave Punta Gorda
Out Commissioner Whitten
Firm for Punta Gorda.

The board Of county commits
sioners of Lee county, including
County Attorney W. o. Shepard,
met with the DeSOto county COM
missioners Monday morning, the
gentlemen from Lee county hav-
ing come here to request the De-
Soto commissioners to join them
in a petition to the State Road De-
partment to make a state aid road
of part of the BermOnt road.
The gentlemen contended that
by finishing six-mile gap in this
road it would connect with a road
running north from Fort Myers
and would thus shorten the dis
tance between that city and Area
dia by about 21 miles.
1t is not intended, at least at
present, that anything but a
graded road should be made, but
the Fort Myers commissioners and
a number of Arcadians who were
present believe that the building
of this short stretch of road will
serve a most valuable purpose, at
least until the hard-Surfaced road
by way of Punta Gorda shall have
been fully completed. When this
is done there will be few autoists
who will not prefer the longer
route via Punta Gorda over this
better quality of road.
The matter did not come to a
vote, though it was easily seen
that a majority Of the DeSoto
county commissioners were willing
to join the Lee county commission
ers in this resolution. 1t is GUS
tom, however, for the board Of
commissioners in the various coun-
ties to let each commissioner in a
large measure control the road in
terests in his district and commits
sioner Whitten of Punta Gorda
district is unqualifedly opposed
to joining in the petition. By his
request the matter was postponed
until this morning for further con-
sideration.
The Lee county gentlemen pres
ent were: Chairman R. G. Col
lier, Estero; Commissioner w. FL.
Tolles, Ft. Myers; DR.. w. S. Turn
er, Captiva Island DR.. w. E. Phil
lips, Alva; Commissioner E. E.

The local board says that there
are over hundred men who have
failed to come for their physical
examinations. Even if they have
not received their notification they
should come in, as they know they
have been drafted and it is their
duty to appear for examination.

will be imposed which will not be
pleasant. Uncle Sam is not going

AMERICANS DEFEAT
A GERMAN ATTACK
On Their Sector in the Battle Line
in French Lorraine
FRENCH WIN AT vERDUN
Japan Will Protect Allied Inter-
ests in Siberia Disgraceful
Terms of Russo-German Peace
Agreed Upon Roumania
Yields to Huns.

Yields to Huns.
Once more the American troops
holding the sector east of st. Mi
hiel, in French Lorraine, have
proved themselves more than
match for the Germans.
| Another of the numerous sud-
den strokes the Germans on this
front have been launching recent
lily upon the American positions
was driven in last night apparent
ly with considerable force as the
attack was one to warrant notice
in today's French official state
ment. 1t was met firmly by the
Americans, however, as was last
week s German thrust in the same
region, and the enemy was driven
back.
Resides repulsing this enemy at
tack, the Americans on the Lor-
raine front were active in patrol
work in which they took prisoner
a number of Germans.
Japan reports indicate that it
will protect allied interests in Rus
lsia. British, French, American
and Italian ambassadors to Japan
will ask that government to take
whatever measure is necessary to
stop the German propaganda in
Russia and protect the military
stores in Vladivostok.
1t is believed in ashington
military activity by Japan is i'm
minent.
Need for japanese action has
been increased by the signing Of
peace by the bolsheviki, and the
German invasion Of Finland. AL
so there are further reports of the
hostile attitude of the bolsheviki
element in Siberia as well as
of the thousand of released Aus
tro-German war prisoners who
have been armed and drilled. A
belated dispatch from Peking says
that Russian forces are menacing
the frontier of Chinese or eastern
Turkestan. Turkish and German
agents have been active in this ter
ritory attempting to arouse the
Mohammedan against the Chinese
government.
Attacks of larger proportions
than usual and intense artillery
duels continue on the western
front, but there have been no in
dications of reopening of opera
tions on large scale. In the Ver-
dun sector a French surprise at
tack at the Calonne trenches car
ried the attackers forward 600
yards on front of 200 yards to
