STRIKE HAS DELAYED
 POLAR EXPEDITION
SECTION OF SHACkELTON'S PAR TY WILL NOT START UNTIL
 NEXT SPRING.

London.-A Reuter- dispatch from Sydney, N. $. w., says a strike in the dockyards has delayed the departure of the Antarctic ship Aurora, which is to carry a section of Sir Ernest Shack elton's Antarctic expedition and that Shackelton probably will not start on his transantarctic journey until next year.
 Sir Ernest, with section of his ex- petition, left October 26, Buenos Aires for the Antarctic region on the EnGur. ance. It was planned to have the ex- petition go south in two sections, one going on the Aurora to Ross sea on the New Zealand side of the Antarctic, while that headed by Sir Ernest went by way of South America
 The two sections were to meet in April, 1915.
 The expedition plans to traverse a distance of 1,700 mics, from the Wed. dell sea to the Ross sea After reach ing the south pole, Sir Ernest will choose one of three routes to return. either the one taken by Scott, that taken by Amundsen or a third cross ing the Great Victoria chain of noun tains. It is expected much scientific information will be gathered

Pupils Make Hiqh Grades.

Nashville.-A group of forty-seven students of the Nashville High School, representing fifty per cent of the average attendance, made an average grade for the scholastic month of Oc- tober, 1914, of 95 per cent In addi- tion to these many attained an aver age grade for the month of 90 per cent or more. This is regarded as an extraordinary showing, and one that will compare most favorably with that of any school in the country. These students are in the high school In the eighth grade S5 per cent of the to- tai enrolment made 95 per cent, and 45 per cent of them made over 90 and less than 95. In the ninth grade 73 per cent made 95 or over, and 24 per cent between 90 and 95.
 At the suggestion of former Acting Governor w. c. Rodgers of this city, the directors passed a resolution two or three years ago giving an extra holiday to all students who attained an average grade of 95 or more in any month.

CONFIDENCE IN POWER
 OF THE BRITISH NAVY
WINSTON CHURCHILL SAYS IT HAS HAD ITS SHARE OF
 THE LUCK"
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 London.-Winston Spencer Church i'll, first lord of the Admiralty, in a speech in the House of Commons, told the country that despite the loss of some of the older ships of the British navy, there is every reason for confidence in the power of the navy.
 The first lord told of the danger to British ships from mines and subma rines, and the possibility of armored and fast enemy liners escaping to the high seas to prey on the allies shipping, which, he added, had been prevented thus far. He closed with the statement that there is another danger, that of an oversea invasion an enterprise full of danger for those who might attempt it."
 MT. Churchill said that considering the work the navy had done in the protection of British commerce, the restrictions it had placed on the en- emy's supplies and the conveying by it of great numbers of troops across the world, with ones eyes fixed on the mischances that had occurred and knowing all the circumstances, he was bound to say, T think we have had our share of the luck"

Memphis.-The federal grand jury returned indictments against c. H. Raine, president, and Claude Ander- son, cashier, of the Mercantile Bank at the time of it's failure for over S1,. 000,00O in February.
 A blanket indictment charges the two former officials with using the mails to defraud. Raine, who is in New York, is now under a $25,000 bond for appearance for trial in the Shelby county criminal court
 The indictment against the two of ficials grew out of the failure of the old Mercantile bank before it received a national bank charter.
 The government charged that in circulation through the mails of bank statements signed by the two officials the postal laws had been violated, the statement setting forth financial con- ditions of the bank which did not ex- ist- As a consequence the indictment declares, the depositors were de- frauded.
