DISPLAY OF WAR VESSELS
Chicago Has Many Famous Fighting
Crafts On Riverfront.

Chicago. June 14-[By The Asso-
ciated Press. There is a graveyard
of famous fighting ships in the heart
of Chicago's manufacturing district
In the Chicago river is assembled one
Of the strangest fleets ever assembl-
ed on the Great Lakes.
The submarine, once the U-97 and
one Of the prides of Admiral Won Tir-
pitz, has little in its appearance to
indicate its war record of seven al
lied ships sunk by torpedo and gun
fire and no one knows how many de-
stroyed by mines, for the U-97 was
mine layer. On deck she still
boasts a long range naval rife, but
below is only a shell. He men en-
gines and all her principal working
parts have been stripped out and
shipped to Annapolis, where future
officers of the navy will receive their
education on machinery donated by
the late imperial German government.
The U-97 was surrendered at Scapa
Flow after the armistice and was one
of five U-boats allotted to the United
States. She toured the Great lakes
during the Victory loan drive before
In this strangely assorted feet is
the Essex, whose ancient wooden
hull was designed to break up the
slave traffic on the African coast.
The Yantic was built as a yacht for
President Lincoln, then remodeled as
a naval corvette. Her most famous
exploit was the vain attempt, in
company Of the Proteus, to rescue
Lieutenant Greely's Artic exploration
party at Discovery Harhor in 1883.
The Hawk, formerly a yacht, was
sold by the late Mark Hanna, of
Ohio, to the government at the out
break of the Spanish American war.
She captured the Spanish liner Alton
so XIII off Havana and brought her
prize into port.
The gunboat Wilmette, still in her
gray war paint, bears little resebl-
ance to her former self when she was
the passenger liner Eastland, which
turned over at its dock in 1915,
drowning S12 excursionistS. Re-
modelled and armed by the navy de-
partment she is now what her officers
claim is the finest gunboat in the
ship.
Half a dozen submarine chasers
stationed here, all of which saw
service overseas during the war, are
to be sold, if the government can
find purchasers. Two have already
been disposed of, one bring $4,000
and the other 10000 They cost the
navy department about $4,000 each.

Formal laying of the corner
stone 81 the handsome new school
building now in process of erec-
tion in North Mankato We're held
this afternoon at two o'clock. No
special services were held, how
ever, several members of the
Board of Education and few
citizens were present. The only
inscription on the corner stone
were 1920. A metal box con-
tanning records which may prove
interesting to future generations
was placed in the box. The box
contained the census of pupils,
parents and addresses. The names
of the members of the Board Of
Education, Of the faculty, and the
constructor.
The addition to the school now
under construction is in fact a
separate building connected to
the old building by corridor
which extends straight through
from the present main entrance
to tn old building. The main en-
trance to the new building is
from Center street. The new
building provides four additional
grade rooms which increase the
capacity of the school 160 pupils.
These rooms are perfectly light
ed and in every way ideal rooms
for the purpose. Provision is also
made in the new building for
cooking and sewing for the girls
and for manuel training for the
boys. Toilet rooms are provided
for on both floors for both boys

HOPES WERE GIVEN BLOW
Those Who Expected to Realize "Joy
Water" Depressed in Spirit

Now that the mercury has climbed
up close to the 100 mark, and every
day in this dry belt resembles more
and more a dry Sahara, with no oasis
in sight. the conversation where men
gather together in groupes naturally
turns to means Of quenching the
thirst. "There is no dream about
that barrel of spring water which was
purchased for BOOZE" said one man
to day. That was straight goods, they
bought the barrel all right, but the
worst Of it was that for several days
previous they had promised their
friends that select few with the pro
per password would be favored with q
"Sluk," said the man who seems to be
on the inside, and then he continued
and said: There is one straight tip
can give you, and that is, that the
next time they purchase a barrel they
will have it tapped on both ends and
in the middle, and will smell every
bung hole to determine whether IL is
the real article, before the cold cash
is turned over"

STRICKEN BY APOPLEXY
From Mondays Daily.
Mrs; Florence X. stubbs Overcome At

Sibley Park; Condition Serious.
Suddenly overcome by a stroke of
apoplexy Immediately following her
taking part In the Flag Day exercises
at Sibley Park, Mrs. Florence K
Stubs of East Main street now lies
in very critical condition at I'm
manuel hospital. She was stricken
about three o'clock and had not re-
gained consciousness up to about noon
today. Mrs. Stubbs, member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, and a person who always took
an active part in patriotic demonstra-
tions, marched in the parade from
Sibley Park to the top of Sibley
Mound, where the services were held.
The temperature which stood at
Iinety- six in the shade at the time
Of the parade, must have been several
degrees warmer than that in the hot
sun through which Mrs. Stubs
marched. This added to the steep
climb up Sibley Mound, is thought to
have been the cause of over exertion,
which brought on the stroke.
DR.. Hiram Lloyd, who was in charge
of the singing at the services was
called to give first aid to the stricken
woman, and SOON afterwards had her
removed to the hospital. This fore
noon she was reported to be in very
serious condition.

est and grandest gift in the possession
OF a true American Our Flag"
Response BY Mr.. Stradtmann.
The presentation address was re
sponded to by Attorney William.
Stradtmann, adjutant of LorentZ Post
No. II American Legion. who thank
ed the Knights of Columbus for the
splendid gift presented. The speaker
dwelt at some length on the good
work Of the Knights of Columbus
overseas. The X. c. hut, on the bat.
tie front, where cheer and comfort
for the doughboy was always given,
will never be forgotten by the men of
America who fought and bled in the
great world war. In conclusion the
speaker said that one of the most
gratifying facts in connection with
the Knights II Columbus lodge all
over the land, is, that they have not
ceased to aid in their country's cause,
whenever the opportunity offers.
Following the presentation of the
colors, the impressive Elks service in
honor of the flag were carried out
In most pleasing manner. The his
tory of the flag was given by Attorney
Cecil j. Snow, the Elks tribute to the
flag by Attorney B. d. Grogan. The
mode Of delivery by those two gentle
men was very effective. AS part of
the services the Star Spangled Ban
ner was led by DR.. Hiram Lloyd, and
taken part in by the entire assemb.-
lage. Following the singing of Auld
Lang Syne, the principal address of
the day was delivered by Hon. Albert
r. Allen of Fairmont, whose entire
speech appears under a separate head
in this issue. Mr. Aliens address
made a deep impression on the au-
dience, and was received with en-
thusiasm
The services were brought to
close by the singing of America by
the entire assemblage, and the ex-
ercises by the exalted ruler.
Yesterdays services were by far the
most elaborate flag day services ever
held in this city. During the services
Sandon Band rendered splendid music.

Session

st. Cloud, June 14.-Owing to the
probable impossibility of completion
of the new Breen hotel before the
date set for the Minnesota Elks' State
association meeting whicn was sched-
uled to be held here August 19. ~
and 81, j. r. Jerraru, member Of the
executive committee of the aSsocia-
tion. wired President Frank Thomp-
son, Mankato, on Thursday saying
that because OF inability to provide
housing facilities for the convention
it would be necessary to ask the as
sociation to release st. Cloud. Pre-
vious to taking this action, an appeal
had been made to the state normal
board asking the use of the two dor
mitories of the normal school in this
city for the accommodation of the
visitors, but owing to the fact that
the convention would be held during
the same period that the closing OF the
summer term of school and the open

granting of the request would mean
the establishment Of precedent un
desirable by the board to refuse the

the convention to some other city,
providing a release is granted by the
president of the association. Earlier
in the summer. VirginiE was anxious
to secure the convention but st.
Cloud had already been designated,
the assurance having been given that
the Breen hotel would be ready to
receive guests. Owing. however, to
delays and hinderances beyond the
control of anyone, It Is believed that
the hotel will not reach completion
in time for the convention.
President Thompson stated today
that he will call a meeting of the
trustees of the state association to
discuss the situation.

ing company is doing the plumb
ing; G. M. Masters the heating
and ventilating, and the Mankato
Electric company is doing the wir-

The original building to which
this addition is being made was
erected in 1891. 1t was at that
time four room building with
q capacity of 160 pupils. This at
that time seemed so large that
only two rooms were finished.
However, the two additional
rooms were soon finished and put
into use. In 1904 this building was
so crowded that it was found nee
essary to double it in size.
The original four room building
was heated with hot air furnaces
and was without ventilation.
When the four room addition was
built in 1904 the hot air fur
naces were discarded and a steam
heating plant installed with grav-
ity ventilation. The present build
Ing marks another forward step
in ventilation since the gravity
ventilation sbeing discarded and
a fan system being installed.
All together the new structure
presents a very pleasing appear
ance, and the citizens of North
Mankato are to be congratulated
in their effort to help education
by providing better buildings.
