ARMY DEFEATS HIGH
SCHOOL BY 20 TO 7
IN GAME YESTERDAY

An eleven frop the ranny post -
Fort Barrancas defeated the High
School yesterday afternoon in Max>.s
park by the score of 267, and hough
they were considerably outweighed the
school boys made determined stand
against the soldiers.
In the opening quarter, High
School kicked off, and played well up
in Army territory. The soldiers made
consistent gains, however, and
ploughed down the field for the mi
tial touchdown, a few minutes after
the quarter opened.
Goal was kicked, and few minutes
later the stunt was repeated. Just to
show that it was not an accident that
they did it twice, and havino no super
stitious about the mineral the
soldier boys Immediately hong up an
other touch down, just before the
quarter came to a close, apparently
trying to get the pigskin in the habit
of slipping under the His" goal.
At the opening of the second quar-
ter the school boys made stand
against the army men, but the de-
Tense didn't last, and to prove that
all quarters look alike to them, and
that they were not partial to the first
quarter, the soldiers romped home
again, Juggling the spheroid along
with them. This time the HIGH School
goal had jinx on it, and the army
could not kick the GAL, but remained
content with the score as it stood.
In the third quarter the school boys
assumed the offensive, and Vickery
made touchdown when army fun
bled, running forty yards with the
ball neatly tucked away under his
arm. Creary promptly kicked goal,
and erased the blank on the High
School score cards.
Old High made tremendous effort
to repeat the performance in the final
quarter, but it wouldn't work, and
the whistle blew away their hopes
just as they were about to even things
up.

SINGLE ROOFS OUTLAWED
BY NEW ATLANTA ORDINANCE

ATLANTA, Ca, June 23.-Having eX
perienced a bitter lesson in the peril
of the wooden shingle when the re-
cent disastrous fire swept over $4,000
600 worth of property out of existence,
the city authorities have lost no time
in passing the anti-shingle ordinance
that hung fire for several months be
froe the confagration, and hereafter
the man who builds house in At
lanta must cover it with roof OF
strictly fireproof material.
In repairing roof, however. he can
replace existing shingles with new
shingles up to limited percentage OF
the total roof area, and as some humor
list has pointed out, by covering little
every year or every six months, the
house owner could continue to live un-
der shingles, if he preferred them to
modern fireproot covering.

U. s. DESTROYER
BANNED U-BOAT
CREW REPORTS

BASE OF THE AMERICAN NAVY
FIOTILI4A in England. June ga
German submarine was rammed and
sunk by an American destroyer after
German-born American bluejacket haC
Spied out the underwater craft, ac-
cording TO belief expressed by the crew
of certain American sea-watchdoe
which returned to port today
chis is the first German submarine
the word of whose sinking has been re-
norted bv crews of the American pa
troll fiotilla.
',he destroyer in question was cruis-
inc through calm sea. Directly
ahead the forward lookout sighted a
periscope. The submarine to which il
was attached Immediately submerged.
BY that time the destroyer was so
close to the spot where the periscop9
had showed that its guns could not be
depressed sufficiently to fire. Every
member of the destroyer's crew crowd
ed the rails, eagerly scanning the wa
ter for the sub-surface shadow which
would reveal the enemy craft.
In the midst of this eager watch, 4
German born sailor in the crows nest
of the destroyer shouted, There she is,
pointing directly alongside the de-
stroyer. The American commander in
stantly swung his ship and those on
board declared they felt the impact OF
a collision.
But even if the submarine was not
rammed, tnose who told the story said
today, it was likely another anti-sub-
marine device" which was Immediately
brought Into play by the American de-
stroyer, antshed the job.
Folks 'tack home" in the United
States can be sure that the American
Gotilla here is in the thick of things

HOkE MUST HAVE SEEN A
LIGHT; FAVORS FOOD CONTROL

ATLANTA. Ca, June 23.-The
changes in the food bill agreed on in
WASHINGTON removed practically all
of Senator Hoke Smiths objections to
the bill as originally introduced in
congress, and opposed by him. The
senator on leaving here yesterday af-
ternoon for the national capital ex-
pressed the opinion that these changes
would also gain the support of other
senators and representatives who have
been insisting on certain amendments,
and would thereby pave the way for
speedy action.
The people can accept it as absolute
ly certain that congress will give
them Legislation to put an end to
speculation in food and fuel. Senator
Smith declared, and since the changes
announced from Washington have been
agreed upon, it is now regarded as
very likely that the bill will pass by
July 1st
Senator Smith, who opposed food
control when the bill was first intro
duced by administration forces, now
says such legislation is absolutely es-
sential at the present time to prevent
the consumers from being robbed. He
opposed, however, the provisions of the
Wilson administration bill which would
authorize the food director to fix a
maximum price on agricultural pro-
ducts, because, he said, he is convinced
that a part of the program was to
fix a maximum price on cotton, and
since the South failed to secure the
aid of the government in securing 4
minimum price on cotton in 1914, when
bankruptcy was threatened, he says
he determined that Southern farmer
should not suffer injury at this time
! by reason of a maximum price.
