INQUIRY STARTED INTO FIRING UPON
 AMERICAN VESSEL

Washington Nov. 18-Captain Decker, of the cruiser Tennessee, re- ported to Secretary Daniels, early to- day that, while proceeding from Your lah to Smyrna to make an official call he was fired upon.
 Captain Decker's report. confirming last nights news despatches, which Of aflcials heard and believed were inac- curate. left them today in a state Of amazed wonder. Every effort is being made to get more complete reports of the incident from the Tennessee's commander. His report does not say whether the Tennesse Of her launch, as was reported in news despatches, had, been fired upon.
 Aside, from being considered as a hostile act. the firing may be explain ed in various ways. The first report said the cruisers launch had been turned by three shots from the forts as it was entering the harbor of Smyrna Officials say the launch may have been entering during prohi bited hours or the forts may have taken against mine fields in the harbor
 There has been considerable t111- easfness about the Tennessee and also about the North Carolina, her sister sl1ips since they went to Turkish wa ters to look after the interests of Americans at the end of their voyage to the European continent with gold for stranded tourists.
 Further than caIliug for inquiries from other American officials in the vicinity it appeared that Washington was awaiting further reports from the Tennessee herself before proceeding It becaIne known also that England and France were asking their commanders in the Mediterranean for information

related how he drew material for his cottage by driving team across the sand. Walter Nichols also told how he and some old time residents fre- auent1y drove by way of the Lordship road. City Sheriff Richard Brown said he had often seen wagon sgoing across the sandy beach.
 It was brought out that most of this driving was done before a fence was erected separating the Tilyo1 property from the cottages. One wit ness said there was a. gate in the fence but it was pretty small.

 On the two main battle RR0nts from the Belgian seacoast to the Swiss border and along the eastern boundary of Germany renewed efforts were being made to bring about a decided turn in the progress of the war.
 The situation in Eastern Prussia presented, apparently, the greatest opportunities for quick and important change although Russian and German statements were still in sharp conflict.

co. SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

C. J. Biery is candidate for the
position of county superintendent OF
schools. This appointment is made
by the county Board of Education
who will meet on Saturday June 18th
to organize the. Board for the year
and who will probably elect their
superintendent at that time. Mr..
Biery has been the superintendent of
the Wauseon schools for the past
twelve or fourteen years, his long
tenure of office is commendation in
itself of his ability and efficiency.
The record he has made in building
up the Wauseon High School to its
present high standard is fine one
and certainly demonstrates his quail
ifications for the position as superin-
tendent of the schools of the county.
Mr.. Biery served for several terms
of three years each as member of the
Board of School Examiners for Full
ton county and is at present a mem
Der of the State Board of School Ex-
aminers. Among the edscators of
this and adjoining states his abilities
have been recognized and his spare
time has been taken up in institute
work, where his services as an in
structor of teachers has been appre-
ciated. Certainly Mr.. Biery is well
qualified for this position and the
schools of the county will be fortu-
nate indeed if the County Board Sc
| lects him as the first county super
| iinf1ndent,
