 ALLIED LOSS
(Ry United Press)

Washington, March 10.-The blame for the loss to the allies of 500,0 ,00O lives, 2.500000 tons in shipping and 515,000 100000 in war materials and naval craft, was placed on the navy department today by Rear Admiral William s. Sims, commander of the American fleet in European waters Admiral Sims continued his testimony today before the senate committee on naval affairs, which is Investigating the navy's record in the war.
 Admiral Sims declared on the stand that the terrible loss in life to the allies resulted from the failure of the United States navy to take prompt ac- tion against the menace of German submarines
 America could have put 1,000,00C men in France by March, 1918, instead of 300.000, had my policy been adopt ed" Admiral Sims said, Ut was adopted six months later, on the eve of the surrender of the Germans"
 When the German submarine men ace became alarming, Admiral Sim said he recommended that every avail able ship of the American navy b placed in the anti-submarine service His recommendations were held up fo' six months, he said, at a period whel 1 the German submarines were doing their most effective work.

PAY $2,357,000

Hartford, Aug. 3.-That the past
year has been decidedly prosperous
one Tor Connecticut corporations was
shown yesterday when announcement
was made by State Tax Commissioner
William H. Blodgett that statements
for the year which are to be filed with
the state treasurer show that there
are 2,162 miscellaneous corporations
which had a taxable net income as
compared with 1,S79 in 1919 while ST.
357, O05.62 has been assessed against
them as compared with 81 sos 1861 in
1919. These taxes are payable on or
before September l.
At the present time there are about
5000 corporations in Connecticut which
arc defined as "miScella neous'' in ad-
dition to the public utility companies,
insurance and other companies which
are classed separately. The increase
both in the number of corporations
which show a taxable net income and
In the actual amount of tax assessed
against them is a clear indication that
the majority of corporations have
Jared well in the last year. The 1920
figures just compiled show that the
amount assessed against miScellane-
,ous corporations, in excess of the
same class in 1919. is s68S, S6S.S1.
During the last few weeks the state
tax commissioners office has been
particularly busy as the compiling of
the corporation tax lists requires a
vast amount of detail work. Compa-
mics subject to tax but not paying as
easements against them by September
u will be penahzed.

GOING TO EXPLORE
NORTH GREENLAND

Copenhagen, Aug. 2-Lauge Koch,
the Danish explorer who heads an
expedition to Northern Greenland, in
an interview before his departure ex-
planned the purposes of his mission.
The enterprise, he said, Is in the ma
ture of jubilee expedition in honor
of the 200th anniversary of the arrival
in Greenland of Hans Egedes, the
Danish missionary.
During these 200 years Greenland
has been thoroughly explored" said
NJ. Koch. North Greenland, how
ever, has never been mapped out.
This is the aim of the present ex-
petition because otherwise, Denmark
would be obliged to apply sovereignty
| to regions which had not yet been Wis
| tied by white men.
'I have already proved to the sat
| isfaction of American and British sci
| entists, that in Northern Greenland
there is a mountain range 1000 feet
high, the size of the Caucasus range.
I further want to penetrate the in
terror of Pearyland leaving direct for
| Inglefield Gold, from which point ]
! will cross inland ice on motor trac-
| tor, establishing a depot at Warming
| land. Trials conducted during the
| last few months prove that tractors
| can attain a speed of six ki1ometers
! an hour, equalling the speed of a dog
| sled.
| THE expedition will be gone three
| years, at the end of which time the
| remaining fourth of Greenland will
| have been mapped I also expect to
! bring back a very interesting geo1ogi-
| cal collection

1t has been known for some time
that Chas. +. Booher, our congress-
man from this district, has been in
very poor health, and many have been
curious TO know whether or not he
would stand for reelection for his
eighth term.
While differing with Mr.. Booher,
politically, we are sorry to learn that
he will not stand for denomination at
the expiration of his present term,
which expires in March, 1921. II we
are to have a Democrat to represent
our district, we hope he may be as
clean, honorable and faithful as Mr.
Booher has been.

OF Grafton Saturday evening 1924, will
play the local team return game
here this evening at the Normal gym
nasium, the game starting at 7:45 in
order that the Grafton bunch can get
home tonight. The game this evening
promises to be one of the best OF the
year, and Fairmont has good chance
TO win. Grafton Just had q shade on
the locals Saturday, and playing at
home Fairmont should be able to Sc.
cure victory, as they are better &C.
quainted with the playing floor than
the visitors. Grafton has a very classy
organization and one which every bas-
ketball fan in this section should see
in action. Ward Lanham has been Sc
cured to officiate tonight.
The game was originally scheduled
for tomorrow evening, but owing to
the father and son banquet at the Y.
M. @. A. It was changed to Wednes-
day night. Finally it was changed to
this evening, owing to the fact that 1t
was found big concert was scheduled
here for Wednesday evening.
The Grafton team will come here
via elarksburg, in order to not take
any chances on the GIT train being
late. Alarge number of students and

Metzner Keeps School
Spirit From Grave at Grafton

Our late lamented friend, DR.. Osler,
who had the idea that after a man had
reached the 40 year mark he might
just as well pass in his checks and set
tie up at the desk, could have made the
limit OF usefulness much lower, if he
so desired, in the case of the men or
boys of Grafton high school, with the
exception of the basketball players. If
1t were not for the girls at Grafton
high school the team would get about
as much support from the cheering
section at the home games as might
be expected from deaf and dumb con-
gregation.
But a. pretty little lass, Eleanor
Metzner, saves the reputation of the
Grafton bunch for school spirit by get
ting the girls all tuned up for every
game and by personally conducting the
cheering from the gymnasium floor
before the game and between the
halves, and by keeping up a rapid fire
OF exhortation from the balcony dur
ing the progress of the game.
For instance, Saturday evening
when the local high lads were
having their little tilt with Grafton. eff
fervescent Eleanor was the whole
works in the cheering line. She went
down on the gymnasiunIsfloor about
Is minutes before the game time and
put the balcony female chorus through
fast and furious drill that was worth
going miles to hear and see. Eleanor
has some voice, believe us, and she Is
not one bit afraid to let 1t loose in pub
lie. She gets results, too.
What's the matter with the team"
she yelled and gave the atmosphere a
