Some years ago an American flect--theoretically a hostile one theoretically attacked northern Long Island, to see if 1t could be theoreti- cally captured. It couldn't--so tho referee decided.
 Early in the theoretical fight the shore defenders theoretically sank all the enemy warshlps. But they kept on coming. Hay" signaled the shore force, you're theoretically sunk" "The heck we are!" signaled back the fleet commander, getting landing parties overside. Thus, after being completely wiped out, the in- vaders captured the island.
 This may seem funny. but in real warfare it's exactly what's liable to happen. Destroying an enemy the eretically" isn't quite sufficient. or course in these Long Island maneuvers, the referees decision finally stood, but in wartime 1t WOulQn [.

COLLEGE BOYS ECONOMIZE
Tailors Hard Hit in Oxford, Eng
land-Many Quit.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
OXFORD, England, May 5.-Not-
withstanding the rage among Oxford
students for elephant leg" trousers
which are considerably more loose and
roomy than the bloomer effect worn
by the United States Navy sailors, the
boys here are buying fewer clothes
than formerly. Three long established
tailor firms, one of which had been
in business here nearly half a cen
tury, have gone out of business lately
because, it was claimed, they could not
make a living.
The boys haven't got the money
they had in other days to spend for
clothes, aver the tailors. The students
wear knickerbockers a great deal, one
or two suits for the season, and can
not afford to have a different suit for
every occasion as a great many OF
them did before the war.

He further stated that lead, man. ganese, and other metals which ten years ago were down in price are now being quoted on the mar ket at considerably increased prices. Lead, for instance, has gone from four to nine cents MT Free burn said there had never been a time when it was easier to get money for the development of le- gitimate mining propositions and that he saw no reason why Wran- gell should not develop into a min- ing center.

A hundred and fifty thousand dollar fire occurred between twelve and one o'clock Wednesday night when the Lake Bay cannery burned.
 It is not known how the fire originated. All that is known is that it started in the electric light plant.
 The bunk and mess house and oil dock were saved. The fuel tank and 150 barrels of oil were burned. The seines also went up in smoke.
 After the cannery closed down last fall new piles were driven and the cannery put in first class shape with all arrangements completed to put tip a pack of 50,000 cases the coming season. The stock of cannery supplies consisting of cans, boxes and labels were all completely destroyed.
 Frank S. Barnes, the cannery superintendent, was at fox ranch on an island at the time of the fire. Grover Foster left Lake Bay before day for Screen Island to re- port to the superintendent. Upon learning that the cannery had been completely destroyed MT. Barnes
