DESTROY THREE BOATS
Drop Depth Bombs Into Sea After
Sighting Submerged Boats.


/! London, June l0.-Accounts of tht
obstruction of three enemy submarine!
by British aircraft were publishe,
Saturday. 1t is explained that tht
long hours of daylight enable air
planes, airshipS and kite balloons Il
assist materially IL hunting down Z.
boats. Summer conditions favor the
submarine hunters. whose incessant
searching of the seas forces German
! craft to seek deeper waters.
An observer,in a British towing bal
loon sighted certain things which to
his trained eye, indicated the presence
of U-bc:,t at great depth. Depth
charges were dropped. and the sub
marine was obliged to shift it's posi-
ton. The balloon continued on watch.
and hour later a submarine was OBJ
served to emerge long distance away
on the horizZon and start shelling a
sailing vessel.
The balloon was towed rapidly to
the spot and in the meantime the u
boat was forced to submerge by shots
from the towing vessel. Under the
direction Of the balloon observer the
towing vessel got over the track Of
the U-boat and dropped nine depth
charges. A large quantity of oil came
to the surface, spreading gradually
until it covered an area of square
mile.
A British diril:ible sighted IT,.
boat attacking a merchantmen. The
dirigible reached the spot just after
the U-boat submerged and dropped a
bomb three feet astern. A quantity
Of oil came to the surface. The dirigi
ble dropped second bomb, scoring
direct hit and lifting the submarine
to the surface momentarily after which
its disappeared in pool of oil.
a seaplane sighted a Uboat sub
merging and dropped bomb which
brought a quantity of air bubbles to
the surface. The seaplane dropped q
second bomb into the center Of the
churncd water and q great quantity
Of oil came to the surface. The dis
turbance continued for so long time
it was evident the submarine was NOR

GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Sermon on the Duty of Good Citizens
Who are to Vote at Tomorrow's
City Election.

At the First Baptist church last
night before large audience, the pas
tor, DR.. Z. 3. Jackson, spoke on the
duty of "Citizens at the Polls" in an
ticipation of the election for the city
council and the board of aldermen to
morrow. He declared that "some very
vital problems were pressing upon the
city for solution and they demanded
the right type of men in Office. He
thought that we should inquire into
the candidates and vote for only the
very best men. A city official should
have the reputation for absolute hon
esty in his dealings. He should not
be a profteer and he should not take
an unfair advantage of his position
for selfish reasons. Then he should
be a man with ideals and willing to
stand positively for those ideals. Let
the voter be certain that he is found
in association with the forces of right.
eousness in the community. Let him
be held in awe by the forces that
would treat the laws of our state as
scraps of paper"
"Then, too, he must he man who
does not hesitate to declare himself
on moral questions and matters that
touch the vital interests of our COM
munity. If he is afraid of possible
effect OH his popularity or his business
he is scarcely ft for these positions.
at is evident that if certain state
laws touch the rocketbook of some in
Alexandria we need a council which
will support our police force" said
Rev. Jackson. "We are rapidly ap-
preaching the time when our children
will need to be safeguarded by cur.
few law-vote for the man who has
care for the children. We need men
who will see that the community is
not outraged by unseemly exhibitions
that may endanger our girls.
"We need men who will appreciate
the Importance of carrying on our
public schools with the greatest eff
cheney, and who will furnish funds
necessary to secure first-rate teach
ers. Let all citizens see that proper
men are put in Office"

many OF the young men and young

Sergeant Oscar Olsen. Dancing was
begun shortly after Q o'clock and con-
tinued until about II. Lights were

state that no expense whatever con-
