which rendered Decentralization more

The Austro- Hungarian government
then communicates the results of the
inquiry into the sinking of the An

The inquiry shows that when the An

served to hit After the third hit the
| steamer stopped and the Austrians
ceased firing. Approaching nearer the
commander of the submarine saw that
great panic prevailed aboard the
steamer and that he had before him
\ the passenger vessel Ancona, instead
of transport, as he had believed.
He gave more time than was neces-
sary to leave the vessel on lifeboats
After the expiration of forty-tiyo
minutes, and as no effort was mode
t. launch eleven lifeboats still on
board, the commander decided to tor
pedo the vessel in such manner that
1t ought to remain afioat for a still
longer time in order to leave sufficient
opportunity for the people still aboard
to be rescued.

Within few days Frank w. Miller,
state school superintendent, will an
nounce complete plans for the conduct
OF a state corn boys contest next year
This is the turn taken as the result OF
the difficulty between the new state
board of agriculture and the former
contest manager, T. p. Riddle. That
such contests may be properly under
supervision of the state school superin-
tendent and become part of the agri-
cultural work In the schools seems to
be generally accepted, The work is
20 be conducted by the county super
intendents IN the various counties,
and trips will be arranged by them.

test by the charges OF personal gain,
the exposure of the plan for the con.
test manager to run a huge state ex-
