The attack began at S rs o'clock, just
as the first gray streaks OF dawn were
appearing. All night the British big guns

high explosive shells into the German
positions. great detonations overlapping

Suddenly, ten minutes before the
time set for the attack, every British
gun within range broke out with a
hurricane Of shelling and solid lines OF
crimson lightning belched from the
German trenches as the explosives broke
about them. To this lurid picture was

TWO OF FINEST CRAFT
OF TYPE NOW AFLOAT

Announcement was made at the
Wilmington High School this morning
that all athletic activities, because Of
the existing conditions, with the ex-
ception of baseball, have been aban-
doned by the school this season. Some
of the star men Of the track team have
volunteered to go to work on farms
to assist in increasing food produc-
ton. which greatly crippled the team.
The board Of governors, composed
of members Of the faculty, issued the
following statement this morning.
THE board Of governors, after con-
siderable discussion, decided to aban-
don all athletic activities for the
present season with the exception OF
baseball The track team will be very
much crippled by losing its best mem
bers. who have Joined the agricul-
tural forces of the State for increas-
ing IT'S food productions"
ITO lay plans for the annual held
events will also be too hazardous, to
attempt under the present conditions.
An exception has, however, been made
in the case Of baseball Inc PROS
poets Of a strong team are excellent
and it is highly probable that the
schedule arranged will be successfully
carried out.
"This change in our athletic ar
rangements is taken with consider
able reluctance. but under existing
circumstances. it was considered the
only wise thing to do. The members
of the Athletic Association arc in
tensely loyal and stand ever ready to
do their bit I'm the present crisis"
Il is much regretted that this
change will prevent the school from
being represented In the annual inter
scholastic field and track meet at
Delaware College on Saturday but un
der the circumstances IL was felt that
the team would be greatly handicap
ped and so Wilmington High will not
be represented In that meet.
