Mr. McGuffey thinks that thorough
survey of the Missoula schools should

"Get Together"

For the development of the get
together spirit which seems the COM
mon desire of Mssoula people, Mr..
McGuffey suggests the extension of
community ownership. "All seem to
recognize that we need more of the
'set-together' spirit" he says. 'Pri-
Vate, selfish interests are the things
which divide us. Our common inter-
csts bind us together. Our common
interest in the public schools is prob
ably the greatest unifying influence
We have. Public parks and play
grounds will have the same influence

of such utilities as water and light

ESCORTED FRENCH
STEAMER TORPEDOED

Paris. Feb. 23.--The French steamer
Athos carrying Senegalese troops and
colonial laborers has been torpedoed
in the Mediterranean sea.
The torpedoing occurred notwith-
standing the fact that the Athos was
escorted by two French torpedo boat
destroyers, which, aided by a gunboat,
saved 1,450 persons from the steamer
The French steamer Athos of 1000
gross tons, according to the New York
Maritime Register, was last reported
as arriving at Kobe, Japan, January
II, from Marseilles, France. The Athos
was steel twin screw steamer and
was built in 1914 at Dunkirk, France.
She was sos feet long, 6l.7 feet breadth
and AL feet in depth.

burg line. they were trapped by the barbed wire entanglements which had been built with such great strength and thickness in front of them. The boast of the Hindenburg line has been it's belts of protective wire.
 Caught within the meshes of this wire, the German guardsmen screamed madly for help and guidance. Some, like trapped rats scurried up and down the outer barrier, searching in vain for openings. The British troops, mean time, had the greatest opportunity to open. field rifle shooting since the bat tie of the Marne. Lying upon the ground, they poured bullets into the panic stricken gray coated Germans until each man had fired a full 100 rounds.
 While this was going on. the British field guns came into play with a shrapnel barrage, which completed the demolition of the entrapped enemy.
 It was little wonder that later fifteen hundred German dead could be counted or that four hundred guardsmen sur rendered with upheld hands and emo- tional cries of "kamerad."
 Everywhere they have been pushed back from the British front, and espe- cially north of the rolled up" portion Of the Hindenburg line, ,ne Germans are endeavoring by every means to gain time in order to complete defenses upon which to fall back. Their efforts to dig in everywhere and seek the shelter of strongly fortified lines do not tend to coroborate the oft-stated Ger man hopes that the warfare might be- come open again.
 Lens virtually was invested today, although the Germans are making a desperate effort to hold their positions about it. Against the German strong points many captured guns were turned today, for which the heavy pieces talk en by the British were thousands of rounds of ammunition.
 Explosions continue within Lens and the outlying mine districts and there seems little doubt that the mines will be destroyed as far as possible. Fires still were seen inside the German lines.
 About St. Quentin, at the southern point of British activity, there has been hard fighting, much of 1t being hand to hand as one officer expressed it. Our men got in well with the bayonet, causing heavy losses to the enemy"

 THURSDAY TO
 BE b|G AFFAIR

The committees in charge of the celebration of Loyalty Day under the auspices of the Sons of the American Revolution, are rapidly perfecting their arrangements. They are meeting with success on every hand, and are sure Thursday afternon which has been se- lected as the date for the affair will be ever known as one of the biggest days ever recorded in Phoenix.
 The committee has been especially successful in obtaining speakers for the occasion. R. Wm. Kramer, lecturer for the Knights of Columbus, and one of the finest orators in the southwest has been secured for the celebration. He has attained a reputation for force- ful speakeing, and will no doubt drive home his appeal with commendable zeal aH
 The other speakers who have con scented to take part in the speaking are Governor Campbell and Hon. E. s. Clark of Prescott. Dwight B. Heard will preside at the meeting and make the announcements.
 The meeting will open with a pa triotic hymn led by William Conrad Mills and with a band accompaniment There will also be several selections by the bands, both of the Indian school band and the Pioneer band having do- mated their services for the afternoon.
 The spirit of '76 will be represented by fife and drum corps, these in- spring instruments being calculated to lend zest to the reading of Paul Re- vere's Ride" by Miss Georgia Mintz, who IS taking an intense interest in the success of the afternoon
 The Star Spangled Banner will be on hand in reality, it's history and deeds being commemorated during the after noon by the national hymn, which will he ehorused as the concluding number of the program. In order to give special significance to this chorus 1t is nepec to have waving flags in the hands of every one in the audience.

department that submarine mine layers may visit your coast, dump their cargo and return But the damage they do will not prove extensive. as each boat only carries about thirty mines. These mine layers have dropped their cargoes everywhere about our coast, and if l had the exact figures at hand of the number we have swept up and de- stroyed you would be astonished.
 Tt cannot be denied that naval strategy has undergone vast change as the result of the illegal use by Ger many of submarines. Of course, it is also undeniable that their use legiti mately has changed naval warfare. But the legitimate change is not so great, nor so difficult to cope with as the il- legal use of submarines. Their advent as a fighting weapon has made a coast blockade of an enemy's coast impos- sible and has added to the difficulties we face on account of the natural fea- lures of the German coast line for either attack or defense.

Business houses of the city are CO., operating with the Robert E. Lee chap ter, Daughters of the Confederacy, to make the vaudeville to be given at the Elks theater on April 24 for the benefit of the Red Cross the most gi- aantic financial success of any event of tbe year. !

Miss Bernice Warren Eggleston will give a monologue, Mrs. Charles Van der Veer, Mrs. Wallace Matthie and Miss Fay De Mund will be seen in a clever sketch and Miss Mabel Novinger will con- tribute a dance number. Mrs. w. Gaien BuTris will sing a group of songs and hu-h Wright is also scheduled to ap- pear on the program. A quartet com posed of Messrs. Wright, Williams, Ewing and Horrell will be a favorite number while another hit of the even ing will be Miss Georgia MintZ in a clever monologue. Major A. R.
