Special to Times-Republican.
Ames March 11.-One of the hardest
fought battles over the election of
school directors ever waged in the city
of Ames Is now on in full force. With
the memory of the recent trouble be-
tween the school board and Professor
Scroggie fresh in the minds of the Cit
liens, no stone Is being left unturned
by them to defeat the two members
of the outgoing board who are up for
reelection again. In spite of SEEM
ingly overwhelming odds against them,
these two members have determined
to make fight for their re -enstatement
into the circles OF the old board. The
excitement is at high pitch and not
until the ballots are counted Monday
night will either faction give in to de-
feat.
1t will be remembered that about
two months ago this city was at a
feverish pitch, caused by the stand
that the school board took in regard
to matters pertaining to the secretary
Of the board and Superintendent
Scroggie. The differences between the
secretary and the superintendent were
long drawn out and the circumstances
leading up to the final eruption involved
much, and as no satisfactory settle-
ment of the matter was reached Pro-
fessor Scroggie resigned. The citizens
were in favor Of retaining Professor
Scroggie, and were not at all backward
in 5expressing their opinion, maintaining
that the board and secretary were to
blame for the trouble. One member
of the board that had stood by the SUI
perintendent from the beginningI fin
ally resigned, and at the same time
the superintendent did the same. A
new member was appointed by the
board to fill the vacancy and q super
intendent selected to carry on the
schools AS the time has been draw
ing near for an election Of two new
members on the board, interest has
again awakened in school matters and
the two factions have again renewed
the fight. Some severe attacks. have
been made upon different individuals.
Monday bids fair to be the most excit-
ing day of all and it is confidently ex-
pected the largest vote ever recorded
in the city Of Ames will be polled.

mamfestly lofty and inspiring. At
the beginning of the war Japan
was tbird-rate naval power; its
close will find her not only in the
first class, but very near its head.
When forced by Russia's aggres
sive and insolent attitude to enter
upon a war she had tried by every
honorable means to avoid, Japan's
navy was rated even below Italy'S.
Above her in the list stood, in or
der, England, France, Germany,
the United States, Russia and Italy.
Shewas generally reckoned seventh
in strength and efficiency, though
a better knowledge of her power at
that time would probably have
changed the judgment of naval eX-
perts, and given her sixth place.
She is now certainly fifth, in
sheer strength, even before she re
pairs the light damage that Russia
has inflicted in the war. But in
fighting efficiency, she is doubtless
third, or next to France, and would
probably prove even stronger than
France, or second only to England
She lost only three torpedo boats
in the battle in the Korean strait.
These will be replaced within a few
weeks. At the beginning of the
battle she had five battleships, and
at its close she had seven, Besides
these battleships she has captured
two coast defense ships and a tor

gains by direct capture.
