KING TEAM MEETS

Seeks Revenge Tonight for
Setback Suffered Here
Last Winter.

OLUMBUS UNIVERSITIES
I undefeated ring record will be
placed in jeopardy tonight
when a formidable aggrega-
ton representing King College Of Ten.
nessee invades Turner's Arena seek
ing revenge for setback suffered last
year at the potent mitts of the local
boxers. The card, consisting of eight
bouts, will get under way at $50
o'clock.
Probably the most enticing bout
on the program is the lightweight
scrap involving Bill Wilkinson, Kings
ace fighter, and Mike Morton, famil-
lar to followers of amateur boxing
here. Wilkinson last year spoiled the
otherwise perfect record of the tall
ented Leon Shub by holding him to a
draw in a CORY battle.

 Germany deliberately resumed the submarine attacks. sank the Lusl- tania with Americans aboard, and it was a case of fight or admit we didn't mean what we had said months before.

An Unofficial War

Our very first excursion into the fighting business after the Revo- lutionary War was our scrape with the Tripolitan pirates, who had en- slayed American Seamen. It took the young republic four years to win the war that followed.
 Meanwhile, the French were i'm pressing American seamen into service against their war with the English, and the republic finally had to start capturing French men o'-war. A peace treaty" ended that unofficial war in 1901.
 The English were doing the same thing on the international seaWays and that also brought a war in 1872, after the Britishers had grown bold enough to capture the crew of the American convoy Baltimore Again the United States was vic torious.
 It was not until 1898 that an other "sea incident" aroused the nation. Then it was the battleshir Maine that blew up in Havana harbor and started the war witf Spain.
 Then there's the Lusitania incl dent of World War days, and the peculiar chain of notes that forced

Nations Like Persons
 The ritual would be meaningless and empty if the nations had been unable to build themselves up as personalities on an international stage. sensitive to friendship, en- mity and all the other reactions Of individuals.
 Like individuals, they must ap- peal to law when they are injured. If a warship is bombed, the incl dent is the more seious-because a warship is the property and symbol of a whole nation, not merely the private property of citizen. That's why a government usually gets sore enough to demand a bonus above actual damages when a warshlp IS destroyed. In law they call it "puni- tive damages
 American diplomacy is particu- larly sensitive to sea incidents involving either private or public vessels, because all of our wars except the Mexican war, have grown out of troubles over shipi at sea.

 Have Fine Fishing

George Bidwell and R. F. Jeftcies returned Wednesday from an eleven day fishing trip at Duncan Canal. Mir. Bidwell reports that one day they had the finest trout fishing lie has ever known when they took 53 big cutthroats.
 Other days the trout were net caught easily because of the abua- dance of salmon fry from three quarters to an inch long. The trout taken were found to be literally gorged with these fry, and Mr. Bid well says it is easy to see what a destructive force trout are to the salmon.
 He has never seen vegetation SO luxurious as this summer. the ferns at Duncan Canal having attained a remarkable growth, as well as all plants.

Building Operations We'll Under Way At Hidden Inlet Cannery

Two hundred thousand fish were on the floor of the Waterfall can nery on Thursday of last week, ac- cording to N. Nussbaumer, super intendent of construction at Water fall and Hidden Inlet for the Nakqt Packing Company.
 MT. Nussbaumer came up by plane from Hidden Inlet to see his family off to Seattle enroute to their new home in Mt. Vernon, Washington. On his way to Wran- gell he stopped for a time at Water fall on the west coast of Prince of Wales island twelve miles from Craig.
 The new 5-line Waterfall cannery with it's capacity of 12,0OO cases a day, is claimed by the company to be the largest salmon cannery in the world and the most modern. Re- building operations started in 1882 when Nussbaumer, with a crew of Wrangell workmen, built a two and half story warehouse 40 by 220 fe et. This was followed in 1894, by 8 superintendent's residence and new radio station.
 A fish house, two and half stories in height and 60 by 100 feet, was built the next spring and last year, before and after the canning sea son, a new store, boarding house, cannery, power house, second two and half story warehouse 60 by 300 feet, five Broom bungalows and a dock to deep water, 80 by 260 feet, were under construction but not all were completed. The maritime strike last fall closed all building actiV- ities in November. This spring the plant was completed in time for the
