NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.

New iberia, La. Sept. Is, 10.
To the citizens Of the Sixth Ward
In last Saturdays Enterprise,
there appeared suggestion as to
the location of the new High
School, and the retaining of the
present high school for a ward
or grade school. In order that
there may arise no misunderstood
ing, l take this means of placing
before you, informal expressions
made by the members of the
School Board from the Sixth
Ward to me as Superintendent,
there having heon no official meet
ing Of the building committee APP
pointed by the School Board, com
posed of the members of the
Board from the Sixth Ward and
the Superintendent. who proposes
to do, as was done with the qucs-
ton Of determining the amount
for which the tax should be called.
and the length of time for which
it should run. In this matter it
held a public meeting at the office
Of the Chamber Of Commerce and
invited all who were interested to
be present to discuss the question.
At that meeting. some Of the citi-
zens present expressed their opin-
ion that the tax should be for less
than the amount called, and SOME
expressed their opinion that more
was necessary, the committee hav-
ing previously gathered some data
as to the cost Of structure suf-
ficient to meet the needs, gave
what information it had. and the
matter was placed to a vote Of the
citizens present and the voice Of
the majority adopted. The same
thing was done with reference tc
the length Of time, in which case
some thought twenty year ample, |
some thought thirty years, and
others advocated forty years. |
Again the matter was discussed,
placed to vote. and the voice Of
he majority accepted, and every
body left satisfied. It is the plan
# the said committee, through
similar meetings to discuss all
'uch steps as the selection Of the
lite. the selling of bonds, and in
act the various steps, as they are
cached, placing before such meet
ng all information it has at hand |
n order to facilitate the reachingl
# proper conclusion. In fact,
he committee will welcome any
'ugeestion that any citizen has to
make, as we wish the citizens Of
he Sixth Ward to feel that each !
me has some direct interest sipl

ART TREASURES ARE
 VALUED AT TWO MILLION

LONDON, March 2S (by Associated Press) Art treasures in London, pur- chased by the late J. Pierpont Mor- gan, have been valued, for fire insur- ance purposes, at more than two mil lion dollars, according to testimony given by an art dealer in a court ac- tion here. Some of the pictures, china and other treasures are in the Nor gan residence at Wall Hall, Watford, and others adorn the residence of the late banker in Grosvenor square.
 The art dealer, who was suing an other art expert for commission for appraising the pictures, declared that MT. Morgan secured such good values on his pictures that if they were put on the market today they would bring not only because of MT. Morgan's care in making his selections, but also lon account of the halo round Mr. Nor gan's name."
 Among the pictures described are a Troyon, valued at $75,000; a Crome, placed at $1O0,OO0; two pictures by Frank Hals, valued at $125, 1000 each; a Van Hoffman, placed at s75,000; a Greuze, two Constables and a Breton. In the Watford house, the dealer said, were picture by Velasquez, valued at $100,000; a magnificent picture by John Russell, and fine picture by Abbott of Lord Nelson.
 The china, the witness said, included "a magnificent Sevres desert service" There are also fine Italian embroider- ies. The Grosvenor square treasures were appraised, the witness testified, at $1,339 ,000, and those of Wall Hall at $785,OO0.

 It is known that three American fighting ships were lost through en- emy action-the destroyer Jacob Jones, the armed yacht Alcedo and the yacht Owasco, which was used on patrol work. Three were sunk as the result of collisions, and the rev. enue cutter Tampa was sunk by an ex- plosion the cause of which never has been ascertained

OLD GERMAN SHELLS
 DESTROYED BY TANKS

TREVES, Germany, March (by maiD Zeppelin bombs of uncertain age and manufacture have been de- stroyed by the hundreds recently by ssm@rican soldiers engaged in clean Ing ups after the withdrawal of the enemy. These bombs, of no practical use owing to long exposure to the weather, were found near hangar in the region of Treves when the Ameri- can army of occupation crossed into Rhenish Prussia from the Luxemburg border.
 The task of destroying thousands of old and in many instances worthless German shells began several weeks ago, the explosives being placed in great pits and covered with steel rails and wood and piles of earth and fired by electricity.
 Thousands of anti-aircraft shells also have been destroyed on the summit of ridge of hills skirting the Moselle in this vicinity, and ordnance experts in charge of the work expect to finish the task here soon and then move on to other German ammunition dumps awaiting their attention along the Rhine and other parts of the occupied territory,

VICTORY GARDENS ARE
 BEING PLANTED IN UTAH

SALT LAKE, March Although definite plans for resumption of Salt Lakes war garden campaign under the classification of victory" gardens have not yet assumed shape, home garden plots will again thrive in this city and other Utah communities this year. The city war garden commis- sion undoubtedly will conduct cam paign, it is announced, but definite announcement of the extent of this years efforts may not be made until April, by which time it is hoped the water situation will show improve ment.
 Last year free water was given to those who had planted war gardens, but lack of snow in this vicinity to the first of March made it impossible to predict how far the war garden campaign might be encouraged this spring and summer.
 Victory" gardens will replace war" gardens with the faculty of the University of Utah. Already twenty eight instructors at the university have signified their intention of culti- vating gardens on the eighteen-acre plot adjacent to the university, which has been donated for victory" garden cultivation. The university will fur nish free water, while the engineering department will survey the ground and apportion it to the faculty mem bers.

ACTIVITY OF
 NAVAL FLEET DURING WAR

LONDON, March 2S (by Associated Press) The United States had 374 vessels on duty in European waters and a personnel of 80,711 afloat, at bases or headquarters when the armis- tice was signed, according to a sum- mary of United States naval activities prepared at headquarters here. Nu- merically the submarine chasers head ed the list, with 120; then came the destroyers, with 70, while the third class was the unheralded 55 colliers that assisted in keeping a steady stream of coal moving from Cardiff to maintain the allied armies and pre- vent France from freezing.
 Of the fifteen classes of ships emu merated in the report, the work of the destroyers stands first in dramatic interest. The twenty that were here on July 1, 1917, immediately became active in the war game, and that ac- tivity constantly increased as the num- her of boats gradually swelled until it reached the maximum number on November Il, 1918.
 With 25 converted yachts and few other vessels, they escorted 900,000 troops of the United States expedition ary force to Europe without the loss of man from enemy action, and they escorted 27 per cent of all United States, allied and neutral shipping to France and England from April 6, 1917, to November 9, 1918. In this and other work they steamed approxi- mately 275,000 miles every thirty days.
 The convoy system was not adopted until shortly after the United States entered the war, but in the year and seven months from then until the end, 1S,653 ships were brought over in 1,474 conveys, that numbered from one ship to as many as forty. United States destroyers based at Queens town and Brest escorted more than 600 single ships through the danger zone, and in this work encountered some of their greatest hazards. Only the largest, fastest ships were sent across alone, and in rough weather the de- stroyers were considerably battered when forced to maintain high speed against heavy seas
 Reports of contact with the enemy by American vessels total 256, and the most of them came from destro commanders. A submarine was ae. tually in the vicinity in 183 of these cases, but the others have been listed | as false alarms. Methods of determin- ing the presence of a submarine are l varied, but usually are based upon | curacy the day-to-day movements of the underwater craft.
 The report gives list of 22 encoun- ters the majority of which resulted in the submarine being probably slightly damaged" or possibly slightly dam- aged" One is given as possibly sunk" and one captured. The accuracy of information of the movements of submarines is evidenced in the case of the yacht Lydonia, in command of R. P. Mccullough, who was credited with sinking a subma- rine although he never saw it. The Lydonia dropped depth charges after 3 torpedo had been fired at conveyed ship. The submarine had been re- ported in that vicinity, and as it did

some men rates that will not pay Tor
the protection received and over
endless chain whereby You can get
members at younger ages to pay IAN

That was the old method by which
fraternal societies undertook to oper-
