Admiral Mayo Grateful
for Reception to Fleet

A DMIRAL MAYO, commander
of the Victory Fleet, was
greatly touched by the welcome
extended to the Homecoming men
in blue.
Speaking for the officers and
men of the fleet" he said last
night, II wish you would convey
to the people Of New York our
appreciation of the splendid well
come accorded them to-day. This
reception is more gratifying to
me because it expresses the
popularity of our navy in the
United States"

A naval officer OF very high rank,
who crossed the Atlantic with the first

saw every bit Of active service they did
and came home with them, told the
story Of thei rexperience and his for

He said among other things. that the

made against the squadron in the

Never Any Misunderstand ding.

Sometimes we were commanded
by British Admirals, sometimes they
served under my command; yet there
was never the slightest friction, mis-
understanding or petty jealousies. in
fact our mutual association in this
wars work has drawn us so close
together that in the Grand Fleet it
was instrumental in ripening friend
ship with brotherhood.
1T is most gratifying to state, that
within a very short time after Joining
and after our first operations with
the Grand Fleet, we were assigned to
one Of the two places OF honor and
Importance in the battle line. We
were known and designated AZ the
Sixth Battle Squadron. and as one
OF the two so-called fast wings. would
take station at the head or rear Of the
whole batleship force. dependent upon
certain conditions unnecessary to
mention. when going into action. AS
a matter OF fact when on one occa-
sion we came within a few miles OF
cutting OF from its base and engag-
ing the German fleet, the disposition
was such that the American battle
ship division would have been in the
van and have led into action had the
enemy not avoided action and taken
refuge behind his defence as usual be-
fore we could catch him.

gathering in the west preparatory

list which would have done honor
to trench battle on the Belgian
front The All6tar team included
some OF the most popular young
business men In the city and by
this demonstration they showed con
clusively their ability to comeback"
in . way which was disconcerting
to the school athletes, to say the
least. Several members of the team
found it convenient and comfor-
table to engage hospital quarters
for two or three days following the
contest. The list of All-Stars was
made up of j. r. Johnson, Pard

Not withstanding the sudden in

crowd gathered at the M. E. Church,
Tuesday evening, to listen. to q
short program, consisting of music
and readings. and afterward enjoy
ing an old fashioned box supper.
The boxes were sold to the highest
bidder, Mr. c. A. Jewett acting as
auctioneer. So well did he handle
the sale, that some of the boxes
bro't as much as two and three
dollars. Besides realizing the neat
sum of $3.50 from the sale of the
boxes, to be added to the Ladies

Don't Send Food.

Large quantities of the food sent
to the soldiers and sailors in the
camps and cantonments by their
families and friends is spoiled, and
consequently injurious to the
health of the MEN.
The Council Of National Defense,
therefore. has requested the public
to discontinue the sending of the
of the foodstuffs to the camps and
has asked the Colorado Council of
Defense to aid in stopping the prac-
tice. Abundant food is supplied
to all the camps, the state council is
advised. The aggregate quantity
OF food sent to the men privately
Is enormous. Much of It is con-
veyed long distances in heated ex.

Jasper School Notes.

The debate last Friday night between
the high schools of Jasper and Golden
City was decided in favor of Golden
City. While the team representing
Jasper in this debate did not win the
decision of the judges, its members won
the praise and commentator of every
one who heard them They won great
personal triumph even though they did
not win the decision of the judges which,
too, would have been greatly apprecia-
ted. The Jasper High School had to
defray the expense of transportation for
both the debaters of the Golden City
High School and the judges besides
other expenses, making total expense
of more than $40. This explains why
an admission fee Of % cents was charged
to bear the program.
The basket ball game Saturday night
between the same two schools was in
favor of Jasper, 80 to Al. The team
representing the Carterville High
School will meet the Jasper High School
team on the Jasper court Friday even
ing, January IL.
The second quarterly examination
will be conducted on Thursday and
Friday of this week.
