NEWPORT, R. l., Oct. 5.-The
submarine Ssh was rammed and
sunk by the S. S. City Of Rome and
"a of its crew Of 81 died. As great
a disaster as that is, the bigger
story has not yet been told. To one
who has been on the scene since the
day following the wreck it seems

Of what happened from then till

read between the lines,
The Ssh was sunk on FRIDAY
night.
The first derrick lighter to ar
rive to help lift it was the John
Chittenden on Saturday night. It
was from New York and hired from
a civilian firm.
The lighter Century arrived from
New York "a hours later. It was
also hired by the government. 1t
made one attempt to hoist the sub
marine and almost went down in
the attempt.
The lighter Monarch arrived The
next day. It also was from Ne"
York and was hired by the govern
ment,
Then followed two days Of NOV
ing the Monarch and the Century
to Newport harbor and back to thd
the scene of the wreck. Whenever
the wind stirred the water to q
depth of six feet the lighters be-
came imperative and were towed
to shore.
Bv this time all hope of rescuing
the men trapped below had been
abandoned.
To realize the full significance OF
this situation one needs but to Vlsu'
alize the position of the sunken sub
marine.

OMAHA, Neb. Oct. 5.-A COM
plete decentralization of its work,
resulting in greater satisfaction
among veterans, was sighted as the
outstanding accomplishment of the
Veterans bureau in the past year
by General Frank Thines, director
Of the veterans bureau, in a prepar-
ed address delivered before the
opening session today of the Amer
lean Legion.
The attitude of the American Lee
gion toward Colonel William Mitch
ell, critic of the navy, was fore
most in the gossip of members of
the legion. Friends of the colonel
chagrined because he was not invit-
ed to attend as distinguished
guest, were Modified by the an
nouncement that Captain Junius
Peyser would read a personal mes
sage to the legion from Colonel
Mitchell when he arrives Monday.
While officials explained only COM
bat generals and admirals, are in
vested as distinguished guests,
Mitchel1's friend believed the omis-
sion was designed to keep him from
expounding his criticism on the con-
vention floor.
Alvin Owsley, of Texas, former
national commander is outstanding
among ,Mitchell's adherents in plan
uing a convention fight for endorse
ment of Mitchell's recommendations
to congress for separate depart
ment of the air service.
President and Mrs. Coolidge left
late Sunday-on their twentieth
wedding anniversary-for Omaha,
where, Tuesday morning, the execu-
tive will address the American Lee
zion convention. They expect to be
back in Washington Thursday.
Aside from their departure, Mr..
and Mrs. Coolidge observed their
anniversary such as they do every
Sunday morning, attending services
At the First Congregational church
and afterwards remaining in the Sc
cIusion of the White House. They
were accompanied to church by At
torrev General Sargent, their house
guest.

SCHOOL NOTICE.

From now on, on all pleasant
days the school building will be
open at 8:45 A. M. At that time
the pupil may come in if he wishes,
but on coming in he will be re-
quired to go to the basement if he
so wishes; then come up stairs in
single file and get a drink from
the fountain. The pupils on the
first floor use the fountain on that
floor and those on the second floor
use their respective drinking foun-
tain. The back stairs will be used
only when passing at recess periods
and when pupils leave the room
during class hours.
In this way we shall eliminate a
great deal of confusion and dis
order in the building. Once the
child is in the building he will be
expected to stay in unless for some
good reason he wants to go out.
In that case he may get permission
from the teacher on duty on the
first floor. When once in the
building he will be required to go
to his own room after putting his
wraps in the cloak room and sit

Observation-Disclosures
To the Voters of the Village of
Eagle River:
| have been asked by prominent
man of Eagle River to state my
position on the question of paving
some four or five of the main bust
ness blocks of the village. There
is no person in Eagle River who
wants to see the village grow and
prosper and look better than my
self, but as | have stated, | am not
in favor, at this time, of running
the town farther in debt and piling
more taxes upon the people unless
absolutely necessary. | thought the
paving of the streets was a per-
sonal matter to the adjacent prop
erty holders and county and state
highway system. So it is, with the
exception of the cross streets,
which must be taken care of by
the village and would amount to a
considerable sum. If the village
has any money to spare, and l
have been told by the present
officers that it took every cent that
could be raised to meet bonded in
debtedness and necessary expenses,
| think that the village streets
should be repaired and made pass
able, which today they are not, in
