15 VESSELS LOST
 DURING PAST YEAR
Of This Number, Six Were De-
 Stroyed by German Raiders

New York, Feb. 21.-F'ifteen cargo ships with a dead weight tonnage of 1O3,692 were lost during 1918 by the naval overseas transportation service, according to a report made public re- gently by the district supervisor of the third naval district. The removal of the ban of secrecy, vital during the war as a shield to these vessels and their crews, discloses that six ships, aggregating 42, ,627 tons, were destroy ed by enemy activity, five vessels with 8 combined tonnage of 44,071 tons, were sunk in collisions and four ves- sels, totaling 6,994 tons were destroy ed by fire and explosion.
 The report traces the growth of the naval overseas transportation service since the time of it's organization late in 1917 and describes the part play ed by it in transporting food, muni- tions and supplies for troops and na- val vessels abroad. Seventy two ships were originally assigned to this serv- ice and when the armistice was sign cd, November Il 1918, the cargo fleet numbered 453 vessels, including 106 ships ready to be taken over.
 Crews of navy cargo ships are said to have endured the greatest hard

FRENCH RAILROADS
 BADLY HANDICAPPED
Is Short 5000 Locomotives and , About 100000 Cars

Paris, Francs, Jan. 23 (Correspon- dencc of The Associated Press )- France, as a result Of the war; finds itself short of 5000 locomotives and 100000 cars, while the transportation material that is still nOminally on the active list is badly out of rCpair The shortage of rolling stock has become very acute lately for the number of locomotives and cars out of commits son for various defects has increased since July last by 10 and 30 per cent, Respectively.
 To meet the growing difficulties in , the matter of repairs, the state muni- ton factories at Lyons, Toulouse and ROanne have, since the armistice, been turned with all speed in,o railway re- pairing shops.
 The French government has long hcsitated to place orders in the United States, where alone new rolling stock could he procured, for fear of depres- sing he French rnIe of exchange un- duly; but the countrys needs became 20 pressing that orders have now been civen, it is understood, for purchasing 500 locomotives and 3, 900 cars, while 21,000 American cars that were

to have been shipped to France for the use of the American Expedition ary Forces have also been acquired
 Perhaps the biggest task before the French transportation experts is the restoration of the destroyed railway tracks in the invaded part of France. An army of 900 workers will be en- gagged on this great work for months. It includes the reconstruction of 14 tunnels and 16,oo0 bridges, for which 50,0 900 tons of metal are required.
 In addition, hundreds of miles of main and branch lines have been tenn porarily Borrowed" for military pur- poses from elsewhere, and must now be relaid.
 The departm affected have been divided up into sections for each of which a "chief reorganizer' has been appointed. Each of them has been required to give an undertaking that he will have his section in proper working order as regards transporta- tion in the course of the present year
 An appropriation of 120,OOO, 900 francs has been made by the govern ment to enable the railway companies to purchase rolling stock for urgent public needs. The minister of public works has declared that, in his view, the restoration of Frances Northern and Eastern railway systems should be made a first charge upon the war indemnity to be paid by the enemy.

ELECTION POSTPONED.
Voters Do Not Pay Poll Tax, So They
 Cannot Cast Ballots.

St. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 21.-Be- cause only four voters in the newly formed Flagler county paid their 1918 poll tax, Governor Catts, of Florida, has postponed until March a special election in that county to name a member of the lower house of the legislature. The governor, in his proclamation, does not refer to the dearth of qualified voters, but says Several citizens of said county de- sire to have said election postponed"
 Under a recent decision of the United States supreme court, which held that the legal quorum shall vote and be all sufficient, it is declared the four voters could have elected the representative had the election been held on the date originally set.
 Flagler county originally was a part of St. Johns county, of which St. Augustine is the county seat

 This fact, together with an island coffee crop of only half of what it was last year and a heavy demand from Spain and Cuba, has sent up prices throughout the island.

EXTRA LONG WEAR
 FROM SHOES

T. D. Collins of Ookala, Hawaii, makes Q remarkable statement which demonstrates the money-saving dura- biIity of NeoIin Soles.
 He writes, After wearing a pair Of Ne6lin-soled shoes off and on for thirty-three months, l wore them on a trip to the volcano of Kilauea and walked around the crater over hot lava six times and still thc Sclc8 showed only slight signs of wear. .,,
 This experience i8 rot occidental. It results from the scientific process by which Ne6lin Soles are made to be exactly what so1es should bc--com- fortable, waterproof and exceedingly economical because of the long wear they give. r

 to come back.
 Several million acres of cut-over and wet lands will be reclaimed and improved and made available to settlers upon them at small cost and on easy terms. The Southern Settlement and Develop ment association in a circular recently is- sued says:
 "The empire building movement in the southern states that is being engineered by the Southern Settlement and Develop ment organization is attracting attention in widely separated parts of the Ameri- can continent. Even Canada, which some years ago undertook to attract settlers from the United States, is apparently in danger of losing some of her own settlers.
 "Some of the men who were induced to go to Canada during the past decade or so are now thinking of getting into the southern states of the Union, according to information received. After the trying days of the world war Gods country looks better than it ever did before to these men.
 "As an example, recently the chief of the bureau of animal industry, depart ment of agriculture, received letter from T. Reed, at Calgary, Canada, sta ting that he had heard of the southern set clement and development movement and was thinking of going to one of the south ern states this fall to engage in mixed farming. Referring to speech made by George M Remmel, chief animal hus- bandman of the bureau, at meeting of the executive committee of the Southern Settlement and Development organiza- ton not long ago, Mir. Reed asked for in formation about where to locate, etc Must commence right away with the best of stock, or do you think goats could keep man going until the stock is developed? wrote the prospective immigrant from Canada"
 In Alabama especially in the southern pine belt, tens of thousands of acres have been denuded of their timber and it is said with comparatively small cost could be cleared of stumps and put in condition for cultivation.
 As cut-over lands they have small value, but it is claimed they can be con verted into profitable agricultural lands by scientific treatment.

How to Lose Your Tan,
 Freckles or Redness

A days motoring, an afternoon the tennis ground or golf links, q sunbath on the beach exposure a lake trip, often brings on deep tan or vivid crimson or, more perplexing still, vigorous crop of freckles. A very necessary thing then is mercolized wax, which removes tan. redness or freckles quite easily. It literally peels off the affected skin-just little at time. so there's no hurt or injury. As the skin comes off in almost invisible flaky particles, no trace of the treatment is shown. Pro- ounce of mercofzed wax at your druggists and use this nightly you would cold cream, washing it off mornings In a week or so you will have an entirely new skin. beautifully clear, transparent and of a most delicate whiteness.
