hNOWN RESULTS
1.-THE results thus far are known to
be that two block ships were run ashore
and blown up at Ostend. 1t is too early
to say definitely whether they accom-
plished their object, but so far as the
officers could see in the darkness they
were slightly off the course At Zee
brugge two of three block ships attained
their objective, being sunk or blown UP
at the entrance of the canal. The third
grounded while passing in.
"A certain amount of damage, the ex-
tent at present unknown, was done by
gun fire and torpedo attack on an enemy
destroyer and other craft lying at the
mole. Coastal motor boats report hav-
ing torpedoed an enemy destroyer which
was trying to escape seaward. One OF
the two old submarines gained its objec-
tive and destroyed the piling approach to
the mole.
.Storming parties from the Vindictive
and the ferryboats attacked under an eX-
tremely heavy fire and fought with the
greatest gallantry, maintaining their po-
sition alongside the mole for an hour and

the enemy and inflicting considerable
losses. me ODJectlNeS Tor the StorfllhB

AMENDMENT DEFEATED
The constitutional amendment to
make Birmingham the permanent
headquarters and meeting place was
defeated, but Birmingham was selected
for the session in 1920.
Appropriate resolutions of thanks
were adopted in regard to the enter
tainment afforded by Birmingham
council No. 81; the cordial invitations
from the city commissioners and vari-
Gus civic organizations to make Bir-
mingham especially and the press of
the three daily newspapers of Biz
mingham, especially and the press OF
Alabama generally for the publicity
given to the principles of the order
and it's activities.
The following resolution was also
adopted: Resolved, That as always
before, the state council of Alabama
Jr. o. u A. M, in behalf of the en-
tire membership, pledges the utmost
support to the President and our coun-
try in the successful prosecution of the
present most righteous war in defense
of the principles of democracy"
The state council, representing an
organization which has been always
active in support of the public school
system, adopted the following resolu-
tons relative to the giving of credits
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1918-04-24
in public school work for work accom-
plished in Sunday schools:
SUNDAY SCHOOL CREDITS


Whereas, plan is being urged by
committee of the Alabama State Sum
day School association, providing that
additional credits be given pupils in
the public schools, for work done in
sectarian Sunday schools; and
Whereas, however laudable may be
the intention behind this plan, in that
it tends to increase the number and
diligence of pupils in various Sunday
schools, the plan nevertheless estab-
fishes a dangerous precedent and in
tringes upon our cherished principles
of preserving our public schools pure
and free from any faint of outside or
sectarian influence, and also establishes
standard of inequality foreign to the
foundation plan of our public school
system; therefore be it
Resolved, That the state council of
Alabama, Jr Q. U. A. NJ, depreoates
the above mentioned plan, and urges
upon the members of subordinate coun-
ellis that they oppose the introduction
of this double standard of scholarship
wherever it is proposed"

REMOVE SHORE BATTERIES

Some officers thought it probable that
the Germans had removed some of their
shore batteries for use in the fighting in
Flanders. This might have caused the
allies to move just at this time and ac-
count for the holiness of the operations.
Since the raid shows the German coast
defenses are not invulnerabIe, to some
officers this action is looked upon as FORE
casting the possibility of an attempt to
force landing in rear of the German
line, thus turning the flank of the whole
German position in Flanders That
possibility has been widely evident
since the deadlock of trench warfare be-
gan.
