From Newport News
AN AMERICAN
AMONG CREW {?
Details of Sensational Sinking of Brit
ish Steamship Bellevue, One of the
Wilhelm's Fourteen Victims of the
Sea, Told by Members of the Crew
By Associated Press,

Newport News, Va, April 14.-Ex-
pecting permission from Washington to
move into drydock, Captain Thierfeld.
er, of the German commerce raider,
kronprinz Wilhelm, to-day ordered his
vessel made ready to proceed up the
James river from her anchorage. The
examining board from the Norfolk navy
yard was due at any time to check up
on his outline of repairs necessary to
make the ship seaworthy.
The German commander did not
complete his inquiry into the national
ity of members of the Wilhelm IS crew
last night, as requested by Collector
Hamilton, but promised to ascertain to.
day whether any naturalized Americans
are aboard the ship. At least one
American is believed to belong to the
crew.
Details of the sinking of the Brit
ish steamship Bellevue, one of the Will
helm S fourteen victims, stated to-day
by members of the crew, reveal that
the British ship was held as prize
for 16 days before she was sent to the
bottom. The Bellevue was bound from
Liverpool to South American ports with
1900 tons of coal, 1000 cases of whis-
key and some oxen when she was cap
tured by the Wilhelm December 4,
last She was moored to the Wilhelm
with strong cables and stripped of ev-
erything of value after her coal had
been taken aboard.
When the French steamer Mont Agel
was sighted the Bellevue was left in
charge of prize crew while the Will
helm gave chase and finally sank the
Frenchman by ramming Then, on De-
cember 20, after all movable parts
were securely lashed down, in order
that nothing might be left floating upon
the surface to give the British cruisers
clue as to the Wilhelm S whereabouts,
the Bellevue was sent to the bottom.
Newport News, Va, April 1.-THE
German commerce raider Kronprinz
Wilhelm, it was learned to-day, is in
need of boiler tubes which cannot be
supplied at this port and must be man
ufaetured elsewhere To procure and

students before the year is over.
The Senior class numbers forty and
eight of these are finishing the adj
vanced course, which will entitle the
graduates to life certificate.
Equipment for the Domestic Science
department has arrived. Miss Bryson
is in charge of this department and a
large number of students are learning
the advanced methods of cooking, sew
ing, etc.
New equipment has arrived for the
manual training department, which is

the Minot Public Library, appeared be-
fore the students Wednesday, calling

MATTER WITH BABY
CHANCE TO GET BABIES EXAM
INED FREE AT BETTER BABY
CONTEST TO BE HELD IN CITY
OCT. IL, .

Is your baby a perfect child, or
would you like to know from medical
authority on just what points he does
not come up to the perfection mark?
If you have baby between the ages
Of twelve months and three years, you
will have the opportunity to obtain,
free Of charge, this important knowl-
edge at the Better Baby contest which
will be held in Minot October ~, 10
and IA, at the Presbyterian church
basement, under the direction of the
state Federation Of Woman's Clubs,
which meets in this city at that time.
The Better Baby contests are new
departure in the state organization of
clubs for North Dakota. The first one
was held at the state meeting last
year and proved a most successful I'M
dertaking. Minot is to have the priv
ilege of the second one. I"
All that is necessary for mothers to
do to enter their babies is to send the
name and age of the child to Mrs. S.
N. Swensen, 2O5 9Th avenue S. E.,
Minot. The information written on a
postal card will do. All entries should
be made by the sixth of the month and
not later than the eighth. AS soon as
each entry reaches Mrs. Swenson, who
has charge of the contest, the mother
will be advised by her of an hour when
she can bring her child to be judged.
The Minot mothers are asked to have
their children entered for the 18th and
18th, thus leaving the third day for
the country parents, who doubtless
will choose that time for visiting the
city.
Each mother is requested to bring
small blanket or quilt on which the
child will be examined, and toy for a
plaything.
The fairness of the contest will be
obvious when it is known that the
Judges of the babies are to be physic-
ians, occulists, dentists and specialists
from the city, who have generously
donated their services. No one per-
son will be the sole Judge Of any one
taby, but each examiner in his partic-
ular line will make scores, to which
will be added those of the other exam
iners in other lines, by an impartial
committee
A number Of the we'll known local
nurses will be in attendance to assist
the examiners in their work.
That the contest is attracting state
wide interest is shown in the fact that
several prominent people from other
cities will be here to assist. Among
the visitors will be DR.. Quain, of Bis
marck,a woman physician of promi-
nence; Mrs. Zimmerman of Valley
City, state chairman of the Better Ba-
by contest, and Miss Riederon, of Dew
lis Lake, who will represent the State
Nurses Association Of North Dakota,

an Organization which has recently

state president, of course will be a
visitor who is very much interested in
the movement.
The hours for the contest are from
ten to twelve o'clock in the morning
and from two to four in the afternoon.
Babies of all races will be judged
A few of the points upon which the
child will be marked follow:
Facial and ocular expression and
disposition; dimentions of head, shape
of eyes, position of ears, number and
condition of teeth, height, weight and
symmetry.
The prizes for the successful con-
testants will be handsome photographs
of the winners, which are to be do
mated by the Hart Studios of this city
Two prizes will be awarded, one to
the best boy and one to the best girl
baby.
