planes, which had driven the American
planes away before the battle. The
enemy's planes were lowering there
for one purpose only now-to take up
the work Of the fire control tops for
the regents ships. Officers in the
planes were watching the effect Of the
fire, and as it went over or fell short
Of the American ships they were sig
mailing the corrections. That was how
the Varon and the Floron could spare
their masts.
Bob recognized it. "Well, we knew
they were practicing that. It's one OF
the things we were going to get
around to-after awhile"
For himself he was incapable Of bit
terness at that, but impotent rage rose
in him as he tried now to encourage
his men when they fired and was told
only that they had missed. II was
'on!" Louden, the firing pointer, was
crying. II know, sir, was 'onv And
I fired when l was on sir! Sir, I
know that I was 'onr"
II know it, too, Louden," Bob said.
"We'll try again."
"But they're hitting, sir! They're
hitting" Louden was beside himself
as his mates begged him to be more
careful, to be sure to "give it to 'em"
this time
"We're firing over" Bob said as
calmly as he could. "Down 1OO!'
The floor Of the turret was tipping.
He had noticed it some time before,
but now it told that the Arizona was
listing badly. Bob saw that his men
realized it and fought on the more
madly for 1t. Their turret now was
firing alone. The after turret had
ceased entirely. And now even the
voice in the speaking tube was silent.
1t had been their sole connection with
the rest of the ship. Its ceasing left
them Isolated in the battle, alone.
But as they fired at the range and
DETECTION which Louden and Bob
agreed between them the doors to the
handling room below continued to
push up, and shells and ammunition
came up on the cars. Young Wayne,
the ensign, was working with his men

newer American ships, but he had only
twenty-five first line ships against thir-

The Idaho was fighting two ships; now
the Arizona was fighting two, and that
was hard with only one turret and
that commanded by Ross, probably,
who hadn't ever been in such turret
before. What was the matter with
the Pennsylvania? Wasn't she stand
ing up to her work? Standing up to
it! Good God! She had three against
her, two Trajans they must be, and
one Of the Pharaohs. And the Penn.
sylvania hadn't had her battle prac-
tice this year, for she had been de-
tached to Mexico. But If three ships
were against her, what was gone from
our line? The Oklahoma? That must
be it-there was a gap in the circle
back there. And was the New York
on fire? No; that must be the smoke
of destroyers trying to screen a ship,
but that meant the ship was beaten
1t was no longer able to fight.
Some more shells disrupted on the

OF the shells and correcting the range

why the guns were missing.

Flags were SUD- ported in each of the electrolier chains and large picture of George Washington hung from the light in the center of the room. Small red hatchets were the place cards. Be- fore being seated the entire faculty and tsudent body sang America after which the good dinner was much enjoyed.

 CITY ATTORNEY.
From Wednesday s Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
 By a unanimous vote the Conway city council last night adopted res olution of commendation for City At torney Ed Condray, endorsing his candidacy for prosecuting attorney and soliciting support for him by the Democratic voters of the district. The resolution in full is as follows
 Whereas, Hon. Ed Condray, City Attorney of the City of Conway, is at present a candidate for the Demo- cratic nomination as Prosecuting Att torney of the Seventeenth Judicial District of Arkansas, and
 Whereas, MT. Condray has effici- ently served this Council as it's at has creditably represented this coun- ty in the lower house of the General Assembly of 1915; and
 "Whereas, it is the opinion of this Council that MT. Condray is well qualified in every respect to fill the position which he now seeks; there fore, be it
 Resolved, by the City Council of the City of Conway, that we do here by endorse the candidacy of MT. Condray for Prosecuting Attorney and respectfully solicit that the Dem- ocratic voters of this judicial district accord him their support in the forth coming primary election; and be it further
 Resolved, that the mayor and re- corder be directed furnish to MT. Condray true copy of this resolu- tion and that same be spread upon the minutes of this council"
 Little aside from routine business was transacted at last nights meet ing of the council. The gas franchise was not brought up, on account of desire to give the ordinance further study and the absence of two mem bers from the meeting, but the coun- cil adjourned to hold special meet ing on Thursday night March 2, at which time the franchise will come up for final consideration. Reports were submitted by the mayor, marshal and city treasurer and were referred to the finance com mittee and city accountant. The mayor reported the assessment of $293.5O in fines and the marshal re- ported collections of fines and street work amounting to $268. The treas urer's report showed receipts of $372.S4 and expenditures of $929.77, I ~E $458.64. Accounts amounting to $306.75 were presented and allowed.

MAY OPPOSE TAX
 FOR CADRON DAM
OPPOSITION IS INVITED
BY ENOLA MAN TO JOIN IN FIGHTING COLLECTION OF
 "UNJUST TAX"
From Mondays Daily

From Mondays Daily
 The first indication of an organized opposition to the collection of special tax in the defunct Cadron Levee and Dam District for the pur- pose of paying claim of S1 ,666 to the estate of the late G. H. Burr for engineering services rendered the dis trict, appears in a letter received by the Log Cabin Democrat today from Postmaster J. H. Cunningham of Enola. Mr. Cunningham invites all who wish to join him in opposing the collection of this tax to write or con- fer with him.
 The special tax is now being col lected by Judge W. B. Wilson, who was appointed receiver of the district by the chancery court. Judge Wilson stated that quite a large number of property owners had already paid it.
 Attorney J. c. Clark, who secured the judgment against the district for the estate of Prof. Burr, said today that the tax will be divided into two annual installments The first, he said, is one and one-half per cent of the total better.nents, which were as sessed on the same basis as if the contemplated improvement had been carried out. About 60,000 acres of land are included in the district, which was organized by the legisla- ture of 1909 and abolished by the same body in 1915, with no work oth- CT than the surveys having ever been performed. Mr. Clark stated, how ever, that only the overflowed lands were assessed, which probably em- brace less than half the total acreage in the district The overf1owed lands are assessed a maximum betterment of $5 per acre. Whatever amount is collected this year will be deduct ed from the indebtedness against the district and a sufficient levy made next year to pay the balance.
 What steps will be taken to contest the assessment is not known here. Mr. Cunningham's call is as follows
 "To whom it may concern: Those wishing to join me in opposing the collection of an unjust tax for the Cadron lock and dam scheme will write or confer with me at EnOla, Ark.
