THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION
Brings Pride and Caution in Conflict.


Voters of Mineral Point are called up
on to decide at this springs election
whether or no they favor borrowing
S75, 600 for the purpose of acquiring a
new site and the erection thereon of a
new high school building.
This proposition puts in conflict the
spirit of pride and that of caution, to be
found in the breast Of all good conscien-
tious citizens
Pride in having everything of a
worthy, progressive nature, equal, at
least, to the best.
Caution, because of the great cost of
material and labor greater at this time,
beyond doubt, than at any time in the
history of our city.
The Tribune doubts if S100, 900 would
secure, under the present high prices
of labor and material, such building as
Mineral Point ought by all means to
have, should it be so decided No make
shift as heretofore will suffice.
The best and sufficient for fifty years,
judging our city's growth from the past
or wait while, is fair motto.

stroyers were assigned to escort the
rest to Brest. The following CONVEX
sation-typical Of those that were
constantly filling the air in that
area-now took place between the
American flagship and the British:
Conyngham to Acbates: This Is the
Conyngham, Commander johnson.
would like to keep the convoy together
until this evening I will work under
your orders until l leave with convoy
for Brest.
Acbates to Conyngham: Please make

officers might know that there was

convoy system rested upon the the

But submarine, as already said
could not strike without the most
thorough preparation. 1t must get
within three or four hundred yards
or the torpedo would stand little
chance of hitting the mark in a vital
spot. The commander almost never
shot blindly into the convoy, on the
chance of hitting some ship; he care
fully selected his victim; his calcula-
tion had to include it's speed. the
speed Of his own boat and that of
his torpedo: and, above all. he had to
be sure of the direction in which his
intended quarry was steaming: and
in this calculation the direction of
the merchantmen formed perhaps the
most important element. But II the
ships were constantly changing their
direction it Is apparent that the SUBJ

possible to fix the position by astronom-

not be at its appointed rendezvous. For
this reason the destroyers now deployed
on a north and south line about twenty
miles long for several hours. Somewhat
before the appointed time one OF the
destroyers sighted faint cloud OF
smoke on the western horizon, and soon
afterward thirty two merchantmen. sail
ing in columns of fours. began to as
sumo a definite outline. At signal
from this destroyer the other destroyers
Of the escort came in at full speed and
ranged themselves on either side OF the
convoy-a maneuver that always ex-
cited the admiration Of the merchant
shippers. This mighty collection OF yes-
sells, occupying about ten or twelve
square miles on the ocean, maintaining
its formation so skillfully. was really
beautiful and inspiring sight. When the
destroyers had gained their designated
positions on either side, the splendid
cavalcade sailed boldly into the area
which formed the favorite hunting
grounds for the submarine.
AS soon as the danger zone was
reached the whole aggregation, destroy
ers and merchant ships, began to zig
gag. The commodore on the flagship
hoisted the signal, "Zlgzag A." and In
simultaneously the whole thirty-two ships
began to turn twenty-five degrees to the
right. These ships, usually so cumber-
some, made this simultaneous turn with
all the deftness and even with all the
grace Of q school of fish into which one
has suddenly cast stone. All the way
across the Atlantic they had been prac-
ticing such an evolution; most OF them
had already sailed through the danger
zone more than once, so that the ma
neuver was by this time an old story.
For ten or fifteen minutes they pro-
ceeded along this course. when I'M
mediately, like one vessel the con-
voy turned twenty degrees to the
left, and started in new direction.
And so on for hours, now few MIN
utes to the right now few minutes
to the left, and now again straight
ahead, while all the time the de-
stroyers were cutting through the
water, every eye of the skilled look
outs fixed upon the surface FOR the
first glimpse OF periscope. This
zig-zagging was carried out accord
ing to comprehensive plans which
enabled the convoy to zigzag for
hours at a time without signals, the
courses and the time on each course
being designated in the particular
plan ordered, all ships clocks being
set exactly alike by time signal.
Probably 1 have made 1t clear why
these zigzagging evolutions consti-
tuted such a positive measure. All
the time the convoy was sailing In
the danger zone 1t was assumed that
a submarine was present. looking for

ONVOYING ships in the stormy
fall and winter waters, amid
the fog and rain of the eastern


the fog and rain Of the eastern
Atlantic, was monotonous
and dreary occupation. Only one or two
incidents enlivened this particular
voyage. AS the Parker, Commander
Halsey Powell, was scouting ahead at
about o'clock in the afternoon. her
lookout suddenly sighted a submarine
bearing down upon the convoy Imme-
diately the news was wirelessed to every
vessel.
AS soon as the message was received
the whole convoy, at signal from the
flagship, turned four points to the left.
For nearly two hours the destroyers
searched this area for the submerged
submarine, but that crafty boat kept
itself safely under the water and the
convoy now again took up it's original
course. About two days sailing brought
the ships to the point at which the pro-
tecting destroyers could safely leave
them to return unescorted to America;
darkness had now set in, and under Its
cover the merchantmen slipped away
from the warships and started west
ward. Meantime the destroyer escort
had received message from tn
Cumberland, the British cruiser which
was acting as ocean convoy escort, to
convoy 'HS IA Convoy Is six hours
late" she reported, much like the an
nouncer at a railroad station who in
forms the waiting crowds that the In
coming train is that much overdue. Ac-
cording to the schedule these ships
should reach the appointed rendezvous
at 6 o'clock the next morning; this mes
sage evidently moved the time OF ar
rival up to noon. The destroyers. slow
ing down so that they would not arrive
ahead of time, started for the desig-
mated spot.

I'M WHICH ELECTED.

Two new faces will appear among
he members of the quarterly county
court when it conyenes the second
Monday in April ii special elections
are called in time TO fill the yacan-
eies that will be created by resigna-
tons.
In addition to the vacancy caused
by the removal of Il. II. Swami from
tho Sixth to the Seventh district, the
resignation OF Charles L. Harris as
Justice of the peace Of the Fourth
district has been received and ac-
eepted by County Judge w. c. Whit
thorne. Squire Harris tenedered his
resignation because he had moved hia
place of residence to the Ninth dis
trict. The resignation of Squire
Swami has not been presented, but lie
declined to participate in the January
session of the court and it is under
stood that he will resign.
Friends of Capt. Thomas Y English,
now serving as Captain of machine
gun company in France, have sug-
gested him as a probable successor to
Squire Swami. This suggestion has
met with public approval not only be-
cause of his qualifications for the
place, but also because he was a mem
Der of the court when he entered the
service at the beginning of the war. 1t
is thought probable that Captain Eng
lish will be home within few months
