Details of the
Naval Battle

London, Dec. 11.-The German
cruiser Nurnberg which, with the light
cruiser Dresden, escaped after the
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig
of Admiral Won Specs squadron were
sunk Tuesday morning by Vice Ad-
miral Sturdee's British squadron off
the Falkland islands, was sunk after
a stern chase on the afternoon of the
same day, according to official an
rouneement of the admiralty last
night The Dresden has not been ac-
counted for officially, hut the British
ships were declared TO be in hot pur-
suit and there is an unofficial report
in circulation in London that this last
unit Of the fleet that defeated Admiral
Sir Christopher Craddock's fleet off
Coronel, Chile, on November 1, also
lad been sunk. The report is accept
ed with reserve and the further an
nouncement that the victory has been
made complete is confidently await

Official details of the terrific ma
val engagement of Tuesday, in which
admiral Sturdee avenged the death
of his close friend and comrade, Al
miral Graddock, are furnished by the
admiralty's statement.
The most remarkable paSsave of
Admiral Sturdee's report is that not
man aboard any of the British war
ships was lost.
The battle lasted for five hours.

High School Notes.
(By Thomas r. Wilosn)

Miss A. Stone, director of the girls
athletics, is holding a tennis tourna
ment for the last two weeks. We cx-
pect to have some girls in the Valley
1nterscholastic Tournament. which
comes near the end of the year. The
preliminaries have all taken place and
there are eight girls left to start the
semi finals. They are matched up as
follows:
Julia Grogan VS.. Marian Irwin.
Zona Waldrop VS.. Louise Rehkopf.
Lucy Johnson VS.. Althea Hillhouse.
Rosalie Oldham VS.. Mary Conley.
The baseball practice is in full
swing now. About twenty fellows are
out each evening and are put through
some stiff practice. There are only
two weeks of COED practice left un-
til the first game, as vacation takes
two weeks which would otherwise 20
for this purpose. We have Herschel
Williams and Lawrence Richards,
two members Of last years team, and
also Leslie Tilton, a member of the
Manual Arts team, so our chances
look good for bringing home the
championship.
Last evening the regular teachers
meeting was held and they discussed
the cooperation of the different de
partments of the school with the Eng
lish department in looking after the
grammar and spelling of the pupils.
Professors House and Maskey gave a
report on their visits to the schools
of Imperial, Brawley and Holtville.
They said our school was far superior
to the others.
A week from Friday there will Re
no school in the afternoon. Instead a
program will be given in the audi
torium consisting of singing and read
ings. After the program basketball
game will be played-most likely a
class game. After this the domestic
science class will serve a luncheon in
the cafeteria. In the evening the
play "The Rivals" will be presented
at the Holt Opera House. Everyone

survivors were saved, but of the crew
of the Scharnhorst none was found
alive, although the water all about
by this time was dotted with inert
forms.
The rescue of the living delayed the
chase of the fleeing Nurnberg and
Dresden, which was led by the flag
ship, but the GOLFERS accompanying
the German cruiser were easily over
taken and British crews Immediately
placed aboard them.
In the chase that followed, its di-
rection and duration, nothing is said
in the official statement.
The Nurnberg carried a crew of 322
men and as far as known none of the
crew escaped. This bring the total
loss of life among the Germans to be-
tween 1000 and 2,400 men.
The Nurnberg was built at Kiel and
went into commission in 1906. She
had length of 1882 feet on the
water line, was 43.6 feet broad and
her mean draft was 15.S feet. Her
displacement was 1896 tons and her
speed 23.5 knots. She carried ten
inch guns, two 1S-inch torpedo
tubes submerged broadside, eight
5-pounders and four machine guns.
The speed of the Dresden is one
knot less than that of the Nurnberg
and for that reason naval experts are
puzzled by the escape of the last of
the fleet. 1t is assumed that Admiral
Studee chose to make sure of the de-
struction of the Nurnberg by over
whelming it rather than to divide his
fleet to pursue the two vessels travel
ing in divergent directions. Thus the
entire fleet probably set after the
Nurnberg, confident of being able
quickly to account for her and then
set about the pursuit of the remaining
cruiser.
About the admiralty today there
was told what purported to be the
story of how Admiral Sturdee, who,
as far as the public knew, was still
on duty as chief of the British war
staff, came to be sent to South At
lantic waters to capture the German
fleet that destroyed the Good Hope,
flagship of Admiral Craddock, and the
Monmouth, on November l.
Through the long years of their
service there has been almost broth
erly attachment between Admirals
Craddock and Sturdee. Both had been
held in high favor in the royal navy,
Craddock Immediately succeeding Stur
Gee as naval aide to the king when
Sturdee in 1908 asked to be returned
to sea duty.
When the news was received that
Admiral Craddock was lost with his
flagship in the engagement off Chile
on the afternoon of November /, Ad
miral Sturdee besought the first lord
of the admiralty, according to the
story, to permit him personally to
command fleet of fast ships to
avcnge the death of his friend. Ad-
miral Sturdee's "whim" was humored.
And his friend and the service were
avenged.

High School Teachers

On June q, the Rio Blanco County
High School board elected the fol-
lowing teachers for the school year
beginning September, 1914:
Principal-LaFayette Ryan.
Assistant-Geo. +. Davis.
Teacher of German and I4atin-Miss
Maurine Tilley.
Miss Tilley received her degree, B.
A., from Mount Holyoke, Mass, and
NJ. A. from State University Of Colo.
RADIO, also had several years of travel
and study In Germany. Her creden-
tials from Germany state her pro-
nounciation of German Ia more per-
feet than a native German. Miss
Tilley's educational equipment and
her experience in high school teach
ing and assistant teacher of German
at the State University Of Colorado
should make her successful teacher.
The board went through many ap-
plications and credentials and aimed
to secure good teachers for the
County High school.

What Constitutes a State

What constitutes a state? Not
high-raised battiement or labOred
mound, thick wall or moated gate
not cities proud with spires and tur-
rets crowned; not bays and broad
armed ports, where, laughing at the
storm, rich navies ride; not starred
and spangled courtes, where low
browed baseness watts perfume to
pride. No! men, high-minded, with
powers as far above dull brutes en-
dued in forest, brake or den rs beasts
excel cold rocks and brambles rude,
men who their duties know, but
know their rights, and knowing, dare
maintain, prevent the loDgaimed
blow, and crush the tyrant while
they rend the chain; these consti-
tute a state.-Sir William Jones.

The Meeker-Rifle Mail Contract

"
After many weeks of delay during
which bids were rejected and others
called for, the postofiice department
has awarded the contracts for carry
ing the mails beteen Rifle and Meek
er and return for the next four years,
dating from July l. The two bids
each were submitted, for carrying
the first, and second-class and the
perishable stuff shipped by parcels
post, and for the third-class and
fourth-class parcels post. by Perry
Spurlock and George Clarkson. The
former bid 5000 and $l.OOper 100 lbs.
respectively, and the latter ~, $50 and
s71a cents, with the result that Mr..
Spurlock was awarded the contract
for the first and second-class mails,
and Mr.. Clarkson that for handling
the third and fourth class stuff.
Usually the contract for carrying
star route mail covers all four classes,
hut in this instance 1t will be seen
that two contracts were awarded,
and there being question rs to
whether third and fourth-class mail
must be transported daily or within
five days, the matter has been refer
red to the department for decision.
Under his present contract, award
ed four years ago, Mr.. Spurlock re-
ceived only 1880 year for hand
ling all the mail, with additional pay
Of 1876 month to cover parcels post
deliveries, and therefore Il jump to
$s. 600 per annum and 871a cents per
hundred as noted above il decided
increase. The government being fin
ally compelled to take cognizance of
the fact that this day of automobiles,
the mail and passenger business have
become two distinct functions, and it
was either pay something near what
the service was worth or there
would be "mailess Meeker" In the
dne course of human events.-Rifle

PANAMA CANAL OPENS AUG. is.


The opening of the Panama canal to
the worlds commerce on August 18th
1914, announces Secretary Garrison.
Probably the first vessel to pass through
the great waterway will be the Cristobal
the war department steamer now at
Colon. -
There will be no formalities in this
epoch marking event, the ceremonies
being left to the official opening, when
the international feet passes through
the canal in March 1915. The announce
ment declares: "The Panama canal will
be open for commerce of vessels not
needing more than 80 feet of water on
and after August 10, 1914. An appro-
pirate announcement ofthe official OPEN
ing will be made when greater depth
of water than 80 feet is secured"
1t is understood that the recent ex-
plosion in the channel at Cucuracha
slide has not interfered with the work
at that point and there issuficient water
there to permit the passage of large
vessel.
Whatever steamer is sent through, the
return trip probably will be made at
night in order to test the canal for night
navigation, and it is not unlikely that
an attempt will be made to speed the
vessel along in order to set a record for
future ma avigation.
