7 UTIAND, the low-lying, sandy
peninsula whose name histori
ans probably will employ to des
ignate the great naval battle
fought off its shores by the British and
Germans, is the continental portion of
Denmark and comprises nearly two
thirds the area of the kingdom (eXclu-
sive of colonial possessions), but with
considerably less than half the total
population. 1t compares with Vermont
in size, but has density of population
three times as great, says bulletin of
the National Geographic society. It's
most striking physical characteristics
seaboard, particularly on the west
coast. OF these the largest, Limfjord,
is today misnomer for since 1922 1t
has been a sound, joining the waters of
the North sea with the Kattegat and
making an island Of the extreme north
ern portion of the peninsula which ter
inmates in cape called the Skaw.
Owing to the character of the soil on
both banks the rapidity of the current
and the violent impact Of the floating
ice in the spring, only a pontoon bridge
spanDed this sound at Aalborg until
recently.
The highest point of land in Jutland,
which is also the highest in the king
dom, is 564-foot "eminence" in line
of low hills near the center of the pen
insula.
Ancient Home Of the Cimbrl.
Jutland was the ancient home Of the
warlike Cimbri, tribe which for IL
years kept Rome in a state Of panic,
and which was the first Germanlc host
to make its way across the barrier Of
the Alps into northern Italy, antici-
patlng the descent Of the Visigoths by
five centuries. The Cimbri came with
III the purvlew Of recorded history in
113 B. c., when, after having been
driven from their northern home, sup
posedly by North sea inundatiOns, and
having made their way southwark
through the German forests, they in.
ficted signal defeat upon Roman
army under Consul Papirius Carbo at
Noreia. Instead Of following up their
success into Italy, the victors pushed
westward into the Rhine valley. Four

ing on the first Tuesday, Mayor
elect G. S. E, Darlington and the
new town council were duly quail
flied, Councilman w. J. Burris
acting chairman while admins
tering the oath of Office to the
Mayor.
The matter of electing marshal
and clerk of the council was de.
ferred for a full meeting, the
present incumbents to continue
service meanwhile.
Only the most weighty matters
were acted upon in the time left
after organization, the most i'm
portant being the refusal of the
new council to accept the re.
sponsibility of the Police Jury in
supplying the town with water.
Enforcing the cleanup ordinance
was also acted upon, that the
vacant lots may be sure to be
cleared of rubbish from storms
and fires.

the town now has as strong a
council as it would be possible to
obtain. Mayor Darlington being

necessary enthusiasm, energy
and judgment to push city affairs

Unsinkable Boat Here; to Beat
U-Boat, Says Naval Adviser

William L. Saunders. chairman of
the Naval Consulting Board. startled
the country nine months ago by de-
claring that the U-boat menace had
been solved. Instantly he was assailed,
inside and outside government circles;
openly accused of misleading the coun-
try and as far as possible discredited.
Last night, speaking at the annual
banquet of the University of Penn
syivania Club of New York City. held
at Delmonico's, Mr.. Saunders made an
other and even more startling state
ment. He declared that the unsinka-
bic boat had been found. that the So
luton Of the U-boat problem was at
hand and that the first beat to leave
the shores of the United States out
fitted with the devices which make its
sinking impossible would sail within 81
few days.
There was something dramatic in
the manner of Mr.. Saunders's an
nouncement.
He spoke in SO suppressed a fashion
