Although the Argonaut has not

Another round remains to be
drilled. Another blast will be fired.
Then it is hoped an effort can be
made to enter and search for the
forty-seven men.
Excited crowds pressed as close
as possible to the forbidden mine

blast had been followed by the sig

Kennedy shaft spread like wildfire.

jective.
The Turks have communication
with the Bolsheviks by the long
and difficult overland route through
the Caucasus. Their shortest COM
munication would be via the Black
Sea.
Depends on Artillery.
The British and allied fleets,
which at present control the Dar-
danelles and the Bosphorus. also
prevent sufficient usage of Black
Sea routes for war purposes, such
as the transport of troops or SUD-
plies. in quantities to materially
affect the issue.
If the Turks are to invade Eu-
rope successfully and recover Con-
stantinople. the first issue which
must be faced is the driving of this
fleet out of the narrow water of the
Bosphorus and the Dardanelles.
This is entirely a question of ar
tillery of sufficient caIiber, with the
proper supply of ammunition. If
the Turks possess sufficient heavy
field artillery. and with modern
means of traction. the narrow wa
ters which separate the Black Sea
from the Aegean can be rendered
untenable to any ship af1oat.
Aside from the possibilities Of a
Russian Bolshevik army following
the path of the Russian army which

entirely on the Turkish power In

TRUSTEES PROTEST
GUARDIANS ACTION
in CLOSING SCHOOL
Little Less Than Crime
Against D. c., Declares
Head of Board.

Bitter protest against closing the
Industrial Home School, which he
branded as little less than a
crime" was voiced by +. W. Nc
Reynolds, president of the Board
of Trustees of the Industrial Home
School, in letter to the District
Commissioners, yesterday
"All experts agree that many de-
pendent children are not suited for
homes when first taken charge of
by the authorities, and also that
the right home for each particular
child is difficult 70 find" the COM
munication declares. For this rea-
son we believe that the closing of
the home school is little less than
a crime against the wards of the
District, against which we earnest
ly protest"
Superintendent errick Resigns,
The letter was sent to the Com
mlssioners to inform them that the
Industrial Home School had been
closed and that the resignation of
Superintendent Albert c. Herrick
was regretfully accepted" From
the gist of the communication it is
intimated that a ''deplorable state
Of affairs will result form the clos
ing of the school,"
Most dependent wards need. for
a few month at least, careful moral
and physical supervision" it is fur
ther stated in the letter. This they
got at the home school and cannot
possibly get in the so-caIled board
ing home where the wards are sim
ply taken for the money that can
be made from board paid and labor
performed by Them
DenOunces Guardians, Methods.
In response to w. w. MILAN, pres
ident of the Board of Children's s
Guardians, ask ing that a conference
be held with the board of trustees
of the Industrial Home School. Nc
Reynolds denounced various meth
DDS by which MILAN and his board
members are alleged to have "se-
cured the closing of the school and
the resignation of Herrick."
When Herrick was asked to re-
sign from the home school McRey-
nolds declared that the board of,
trustees were ordered to commit "a
deliberately cruel and unjust act
without the slightest excuse in the
world"
