"ing the Entente at the beginning of the fourth winter of the war, an<l every effort will be made during the coming months to impress the people of England and America with the fact that the greatest effort of the whole war will be necessary to solve it. A Government official informed the Associated Press to-day: "As Britain's great effort of the first year of the war was to create :i j l uge army, as her great effort for the second and iiiil-.l years was to create an iriexliaustable supply of munitions, so. the great effort of the fourth year must be not only in Great, P.rlai but also in America to create a mercj ant i avy to seplace the subnv> inc 'o : ?s :: <1 supply th.e const: Mti. ha ''easing demands.

As a I matter ef fact, tl e German submarine iv being held down very well and average sinkings show no inuphease either in number of ships or tonnage. The sinkings in the Atlan-I tic main routes are now very low and the greater proportion of the sinkings occur in out of the way spots, indi eating either that the submarines have been forced afield or that a ! li.iger number of them are operating "But the rbt'il available tonnage n- j shrinking slightly, while, on the othei i hand, the demands for tonnage from all directions are increasing tremcM-j dously. Where three ships were need j eo a year ago, four are needed now. ^France is very short of coal, one of the necessaries for winter. Italy is short of coal, and the shortage is io serious that it is causing the Italian Government the utmost concern. For 1 all these shortages there is only one 1 remedy, namely, tonnage. "Hut a still more important demand! for tonnage comes from America, j whence the Entente's great reserve of men must come this winter. The necessity for tonnage to transport the American Army and keep them sup plied is perhaps the most important feature of the shipping stiuation. "So the Entente statesmen have arrived at the conclusion that the winning of the war may depend on the new effort which will be demanded -^of England and America this winter, 4 an effort to push quickly to completion?more quickly than ever attempt od before?fleet upon fleet of ships to carry the sinews of war to the fighting nations." o Piles Cured In 6 to 14 Pays Your druggist will refund money if PAZO OINTMENT falls to cure any case of Itching Blind, Bleeding or Protruding riles in6tol4days.

THE HORRY HERA LI How Long Must I S From the Pang Is there no real relief in sight? Doubtless like other sufferers, you have often asked yourself this question, which continues to remain unanswered.

External economic prcssuM is declared to be principally responsible for this, but various unp'ea an. incidents have contribu'ed thereto. In the recent British attack on : party of (Jci man merchant ships, ac-j cording to the official announc men*, he British warships violated Dutch wntors, and the Netherlands government has asked for the satisfaction it chums to be due under int' rnational 'aw, including the restoration of iho < : pturcd ships. An affair between two | it rman prize ships and a British sub .arine likewise took place recently again partly in Dutch waters, accordinn' iii tLin /tfc;..;?i -.I. f-j v*' vtiv v i i iv.

Twenty-three of such crafts mancd with 240 hands, have now been destroye 1 in this manner since the beginning of February, last. There was, too, serious conflict of view between the Netherlands and German governments over the question of the internment -of two German submarines, it being finally decided 'o release one and intern the other. The German Press complains that Holland permits violation of its neutrality of the grossest soit v>n the part of Britain and that the German n prie cannot put up with such weak 'ess. Tire recent multiplication of these s.cidents undoubtedly has enhanced he delicacy of Holland's position, i lemonstrating once again that she lands on the very brink of tin precipice. Critical as Holland's polit'cnl poo!iion constantly is, it is Ivor economi'. position that has lately assumed rave a hue. She is economically do pendent on both of the gi eat hellig > ent groups, and both have long b < n putting the screws on. But the late-" \meriean turn of the screw is cai: irg 'he keenest anxiety.
