which was loved by the other sailors.
This was an act of senseless cruelty
Coleridge punished his character by
hanging the dead bird about his neck
as a reminder of his offense. The
strange happenings that follow in the
immortal poem show the mental dis
indignation of the man resulting from
mis- cruel deed.
The U-boats sail on to doom more
certain with each day. The U-boat
commanders are killing, but they are
being killed. The ratio between the
lawless submarines and ships carry
ing passengers and cargo is going
against the submarines, and civiliza-
ton has the sea gulls to thank.

GUIDE DESTROYERs TO HAUNTS
OF U-BOATS.

The. following article, taken from
the st. Paul Pioneer Press, sounds
reasonable and is very. interesting.
Read it over and see what you think
| of it:
Won Tirpitz has become the Ancient
Mariner. About his neck hangs the
seagull, the bird that is first cousin
to the albaross Much as the tragic
hero Of Coleridge's poem, the old
gross admiral. of the German navy
and father of submarine frightful-
ness cannot escape the sea gull. II
haunts him always, betraying him tc
his enemies.
This unique fact has just come to
light, the royal navy having given
permission for it's publication to the
correspondents of the London papers
The "sea gull" method of catching the
U-boat is one of the secrets of the al
lied success against the submersibles
1t has been previously kept out of the
British and Am arican newspapers
along with the lately developed me-
chanical devices.
Gulls Follow U-Boats
The combined American and British
destroyer fleets discovered that focks
of sea gulls follow the submarines
everywhere. The carrion birds. evil
IDENTIFY expecting a meal, fly above
the long green shadow which courses
the deep, being able to see the boats
far down in the water, exactly as the
aviators see them. Bluejackets scan
the horizon as closely for fiocks of
sea gulls as for periscopes, and when
ever a low-lying flock is seen the de-
stroyer makes for their line of fight
and drops death bomb near the
head of the grewsome line. Or the
patrolling vessel may sail with leveled
cannon alongside the line of fight
he'd by tho gulls, waiting for the sub
marine to raise it's periscope.
Even the allied sailors, hating
"subs" as they do, feel cold touch
of horror at the screaming and
shrieking of the expectant birds. 1t
is believed by the British navy that
the gulls, being carrion hunters, were
first attracted to the U-boasts by the
frequent dead floating near them af-
ter the sinking of steamers.
Birds Quick to Learn.
The CHASTITY birds are quick to
learn, and getting much of their liv-
ing from the corpses of fish that come
bellying to the surface, are not
squeamish when the cadavers of sail
ors and passengers appear before
them. They associate U-boat with
a feast and with ghoulish optimism
fly steadily above the shadowy sub
surface craft whenever they discover
it.
And like the Ancient Mariner who
had cast the die, Won Tripitz nor his
successor can free the U-boats from
the carrion birds. The sea gull dan
giles about the German admiral's neck
wearing him down, just as the dead
albaross which the Ancient Mariner
wore around his throat in punishment
for defying justice and humanity tore
at the mariners nerves and drove him
to madness.
Won Tirpitz decreed that Germany
should virolate every rule of peace
and war in her submarine campaign.
The Ancient Mariner, prompted by
some fiendish freak of mind, took his
crossbow and shot the white alba.

tai of 28,168 boys and girls from the
high schools of California were en-
gagged in productive industries dur

to a report made public here today by
VIII c. Wood, state commissioner of
secondary schools. OF this number
1892 worked in the fields and or

THE records show the high school

INTEREST
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 10
Tennis players of the Pacific coast
are one in commencing the action of
the National Lawn Tennis association
in it's proposed restoration of cham
pionship in the future. 1t is felt that
considerable hasty action was taken
when the country was first plunged
into the war which more mature re-
Election will show to have been mad
visable.
With the elimination of champion
ship events, it is felt that the princi-
pal incentive and objective of players
is removed and that interest in the
game had suffered accordingly. This
in turn, it is urged. will have it's
effect on the future of the game.
Reconsideration of the action TAX
en-, in disseminating various lines of
sport has been going on in various
parts of the country Army and navy
officials headed by no less than their
commander in chief, the president of
the United States, have come out
with the assertion that athletics
should be continued for the welfare of
the younger men who soon may be
called to the colors and that they
should not be deprived of the body
building enjoyed by their elders.
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-01-10

While the Olympic club of San
Francisco is proud of the manner in
which it's athletes have responded to
the call of the country for men to the
various branches of army and navy
service, the members are wondering
what kind of figure they will cut in
future competition, as a result.
Every line of sport has been af-
fected. Probably its severest individ-
ual loss is Norman Ross, the swim
mer, who holds half a dozen records
including both worlds and national
figures. Football has contributed the
greatest number of fighters to the
nation so that the clubs Rugby, soc.
Ger and American teams have been
reduced to mere skeletons with prac-
tically ali the best players missing.
Reports from various parts of the
country indicate, however, that prac-
tically the same conditions prevail in
all of the larger organizations and
this is borne out by the fact that re-
ports of games and sports held on the
athletic fields of the various military
environments largely are made up of
the names of club and university
stars.
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-01-10

schools there has been a marked ten
dency, especially in the large cities
where industries offer many oppor-
tunities for gainful occupations, on
the part of the pupils to leave school
to accept positions after having en-
rolled, the report said. Eighty one
high schools in the state have re-
ported instances of this nature.
In summarizing labor conditions
during the harvest season Commits
sioner Woods report said that 1877
high school districts reported a short
age of labor during the summer and
that there was a serious shortage of
harvest hands in 40 districts. Ninety
schools postponed the date of opening
because of a pressing need for stu
dent labor. At Calistoga the opening
was delayed nine weeks and there
was postponement of six weeks at
Lodi, both districts are in vineyard
sections of Napa county.

ton by high school pupils and to en-

This tree, the most noted in the
