place is decided. Itasca and Eveleth
tangle this weekend for undisputed
possession of first place. After this
game, Eveleth will have to settle ac-
counts with Virginia and Ely, and
Itasca must face Hibbing and the
Queen City, all mighty important con-
tests that won't be decided until the
final gun. On the other hand, Ely has
completed the toughest part of its
schedule, having Duluth and Eveleth
remaining.
The Eveleth game looms as big one
at the present time, conceding Ely can
defeat Duluth, and the winner may have
a chance at taking first or second place
in the final standings Virginia is also
very much in the running, but faces a
tough assignment in games with Du-
luth, Eveleth and Coleraine

GINA game, the local club in the week
that followed lost much of that vital

and plainly showed it during the initial

The second half the boys came back
with a rush. They outplayed the visi-

made them look like a bunch of be-

British Are Bitter

Extensive Inquiries Are
Likely; Parliament
Repercussions Loom
BY the Associated Press.


BIRKENHEAD, England, June 3.
Hope vanished tonight for SO men
at the bottom of the Irish Sea in
the sunken British submarine
Thetis-the greatest number ever to
perish in an underseas disaster.
The admiralty gave the men up
for dead nearly IS hours after
the air supply was calculated to
have been exhausted behind the
Thetis' silent, thick steel walls. Ad-
miralty officials acknowledged that
slow seepage of water into the sub
marines batteries probably had
formed chlorine gas and that the
fumes had killed the men.
A British medical authority ex-
pert said that if they died from
chlorine gas poisoning the men
probably met a painless and easy
death.
Chlorine gas fumes. in a con-
fined space like the interior of a
submerged submarine, would cause
early asphyxiation, Immediately pre-
ceded by loss of consciousness" said
the authority, who is an official Of
leading medical association.
Public Is Critical.
Brltains man in the street,
stunned by the Thetis disaster, was
sharply critical, along with some
newspapers, of the futile rescue ef-
forts.
1t was predicted freely there would
be repercussions in Parliament and
the possibility was mentioned of a
civil as well as an admiralty in
qulry.
The tone of newspapers became
increasingly bitter when it became
apparent there was no hope of saw
ing the trapped men. The Sunday
Express in London. in front-page
headlines. asked, Gould these men
have been saved?"
Public opinion demands a prompt
and full explanation from the ad-
miralty. Why could not we do what
the United States did?'
The Sunday Pictorial headlined
this demand: Who was to blame?"
Expert Withhold Judgment.
Marine circles, however, generally
withheld judgment until all facts
were known. They pointed out that
the layman has little knowledge OF
the extent of technical problems in
volved in submarine operation.
But soberly balanced against per-
plexity and questioning were these
assertions:
l. R. S. Johnston, managing di-
rector of Cammell Laird, Ltd, the
submarines builders, said that
whatever has been done in the res
cue work, we were thinking only OF
the people in the ship and not of
the ship itself"

they will be obliged to remain away

Mrs. Hancock, Chairman Of In

mittee, In Charge

The Woman's Club of Pocomoke
held its regular meeting Wednesday
afternoon with the president, Mrs.
Cassel C. Hall, in the chair. This
was an open meeting and a large at
tendance was in evidence. No bust
ness of particular interest to the pub
lie was transacted.
The program was in charge Of Mrs.
Bates Hancock, chairman of Inter
national Relations, who introduced as
speaker of the afternoon, Rev. &. B.
Stewart, pastor of Pitts Creek Pres
byterian Church. Rev. Mr.. Stewards
subject was international Relations
from the Standpoint Of the Church.
and he astounded his audience with
his knowledge Of international affairs
from political standpoint and in rela-
ton to the church. Seldom is it pos
Eible for people of Pocomoke to have
the privilege of hearing a speaker SO
well informed on his subject and so
able to discuss it.
Two solos by Miss Lena Mariner
and two duets by Mrs. Henry II. Wat
son and Mrs. w. B. Rock added great
~ to the program in a musical way.

MEETING WILL
DECIDE FATE
CHARITY CLUB
Meeting To Be Held Monday To
Decide Whether Kings
Daughters Continue
HAS BEEN PRODUCTIVE
OF MUCH ADVANTAGE

Whether or not the Kings Daugh-
tiers organization will continue to
function in Pocomoke City will be de-
cided at the regular meeting of the
Kings Daughters to be held Monday,
January 9th in the Club Room of the
Municipal Building at $3.50 P. M.
All members and friends who are
interested in the organization that has
functioned in Pocomoke City for 80
years are invited to be present as
their presence will decide this mo-
mentous question.
The membership fees of this organi-
cation are 81 per year, well within
the reach of everyone and it's a small
price to pay for the wonderful work
done by this charitable organization.
Officers do not receive any remunera-
ton for their services; the money re-
ceived, from dues and voluntary do
nations from churches and other or
CARNATIONS, is used to help the needy,
to minister unto the sick and to help
those who are not physically and fl
nancially able to help themselves.
Regardless of welfare work and un-
employment contributions it is the
concensus of opinion the Kings
Daughters Organization should con-
tinue to function and carry on the
good work which able leaders start
ed fifty years ago. The organization
is unique in that it responds immed-
lately to calls for assistance, financial
aid is given when needed, spiritual aid
is also freely bestowed and many
homes have been made a happier place
in which to live by the ministrations
of the Kings Daughters.
The little silver cross bears the,
initials I. H. NJ, meaning GIN His
Name" and has functioned in past
years with this thought in mind and
with the cooperation of the public
will continue to function.
Lend your support by attending the
meeting on January 9th in the Club,
Room of the Municipal Building.

ROADS COMMISSION
NSTALLS DANGER SIGNAL

Due to the frequency of accidents al
the junction of the Pocomoke-St Stock
ton road and the bypass at Dryden's
Mill, light has been installed by the
State Roads Commission, and is now
in operation.
This danger signal is the result OF
agitation first by Donald Lang, who
took pictures of one fatality and sent
them on to the Commission. Later,
the matter was taken up by the Po-
comoke Rotarians, who were assured
the warning light would be forthcom-
ing.
Although the view at this crossing
seems fairly unobscured, there have
been numerous accidents at this spot,
and the action Of the Commission de-
serves the highest approval.
