HERMAN RAIDERS SINK Il VESSELS IN THE NORrA SEA Destroyer, One British, 5 Neutral Ships and 4 Mine
 SWeepers Lost. CONVOY ATTACKED
 ON WAY TO NORWAY Four German Destr0yerS SwOoppd Down and Overpowered Two Bri.-

London, Dec. 17.-One British and

l London, Dec. 17.-One British and five neutral merchantmen, a British destroyer and four mine sweepers have been sunk in the North sea by German naval forces.
 l The losses were the result of an at tack on a convoy bound from Scot land to Norway, Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, announced to- day. The total tonnage of the lost merchantmen were 5000.
 Eighty Scandinavians, two of whom are women, and 10 British were res cued by four British destroyers de- tached from q cruiser squadron which hastened to the scene. Other surviv- ors reached Norway in boats.
 The merchant vessels were being conveyed by the destroyers Partridge and Pelew. The Partridge was sunk and the Pelew was damaged.
 Sir Eris said the circumstances of the attack, so far as available, were that the Partridge sighted four enemy destroyers shortly before noon and with the Pelew engaged them, while the convoy scattered. The Partridge was hit heavily. Shortly afterward an explosion occurred aboard and she sank. The Pelew was pierced at the water line and her engines were dis abled, but eventually she was brought safely to port. The enemy then at- ] tackled the convoy, sinking the six merchantment and four armed traw1- CTS.
 The entire crew of the trawler Lord Alveston was saved in one of it's own boats. The casualties on the Pelew were one officer and three men killed and two wounded seriously. Informa- tion regarding the crew of the Part ridge and of one officer and 25 men from the trawlers is lacking.
 The German raid duplicates the suc- cessful enterprise of last October car ried out by two German raiders which attacked a convoy in the North sea. They sank nine neutral merchantmen and two of the escorting British de- stroyers. Five Norwegian, three Swedish and one Danish vessel were sunk without warning, three other merchantmen escaping. The raiders were heavily armed and succeeded in evading the British watchers on the return as well as on the outward trip. By penetrating the waters off the mouth of the Tyne the Germans car. ried out their operations close to the English coast for the first time re- gently. so far as the official communi- cations have shown. The Tyne flows through northern England into the North sea at South Shields.

Secretary Daniels of the navy dc

The fact is that American munitions

with shells. Their patriotism is OF
that variety which requires to be Cv.

of that kind OF patriotism, The Amer

HYPHENATED PATRIOTISM

That many Of our citizens who are
natives Of Germany are true and loyal
TO the land of their adoption is mani.
tested in the action Of several hun
dred members of a German club Of
Seattle in tearing down the emblcms
that graced the walls Of the club
room.
In the city Of Seattle there Is a
large element of German people who
are regarded as among the best citi-
zens of that place. After the break in
the diplomatic relations with their ma
tive land which brought about a crisis
that may mean war against their own
relatives, they held a club meeting to
discuss the situation and determine
upon q course of action in the event
OF hostilities. The outcome of the meet
ing was that they took down the pic
ture Of the kaiser and all the cmblcms
Of their native land that they could
find about the rooms. These symbols
Of the ties that bound them in senti.
mental loyalty TO a land they had put
far behind them, were replaced by the
starts and stripes.
This action rebounds to the credit OF
those individuals who could sacrifice
a sacred sentiment for an enduring
loyalty. The act reaches to the height
Of sublimity. And in it is also reflect
ed unbounded credit to the American
people and their institutions. What
manner of people are We and what
are the principles Of our government
that can instill such love In anothc,
people that they will cast cvcIythinc
else away and cling to us in the mo
ment that could be expected to near
The parting of the ways?

OUR SCHOOL NEEDS

4 situation confrOnts the pubic
school OF Elko which calls for remedial
action very shortly if we are to main
tain our present enyiable position in
matters pertaining TO education. Our
schools are now attracting attention
in educational circles all over the
west, owing TO the advanced ideas that
have been Incorporated in the con
structive work that has been carried
on under the direction Of those in
charge.
The work that Professor Jensen has
done for. the high school has given
us cause for pride in that institution
that we have shown in very mate,
vision for means whereby he can carry
the work to a still higher standard.
The new high school that will be built
will add the necessary facilities for in
creased efficiency.
In the grammar school work Pro
fessor McWhinney has performed the
same able and invaluable service for
the pupils of today who will assume
the responsibilities of tomorrow. But
If the good work Is to be carried on
to higher perfection the means for the
expression of such Il desired result
must be provided. Our public school is
now over crowded and the attendance
will be much larger next year. This
Is not mere guess work, it is n Ger
tainty.
There is now a great need for an ex-
tension TO the building. This cxten-
sion would not entail an alarming eX-
penditure but II will require funds
that are not now provided for. This
work should not be neglected If we
have the interests of the children at.
heart. 1t is not a matter of doing
something from mere Auditory mo-
tivcs, but 1t is matter Of doing that
which is within the field of neces-|
sity. The board of education sees
this necessity rs DO the professors and
teachers. 1t is proposed to build an
other wing onto the building. This
wing, if built will be added to the east
side of the structure and will give a
symmetrical balance to the building
as it now stands.
In order to perform this needed work
1t will be necessary TO raise funds by
some manner without placing the bur
den on the whole county, and it IL
proposed to bond the town of Elko for
the purpose.
II this is done the town can feel q
sense of proprictorship in the school
that is not exactly justiiiable when
the whole county contributes to the
funds for the enlargement and the sup
port Of the institution. 1t is to be
hoped that all public spirited citizens
will give their support to this measure
without stint
