OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Congratulations to the Libby foot
ball team!
They displayed top-notch fighting
spirit in their game Saturday with
much heavier and more experienced
opponents. They displayed good
generalship and good football, held
the visitors to small score when
the opponents rather thought the
Libby boys would be unable to
score, and all in all they put up a
scrappy game that pleased those on
the sidelines and won the praises of
their coach. Here's hoping for more
good games like the last game.

A surprising thing was
brought to our attention this
week in news article from
Troy. Read about 1t in another
column. The Troy correspond
emit copies from old files action
taken by Troy officials during
the disastrous flu epidemic OF
1918. And this Is the surpris-
ing thing: There was not one
flu death in Troy during that
fearful time, according to this
news item. That Is most re-
markablc in view OF the thou
sands Of deaths, the terrible
scouraxe that swept the nation
at that time.
And they do say there is man
in Libby who has $500 that says he
CAN catch the big ones ! i! l.
Libby parks and streets certain
ly look lot better because of the
careful ministrations of L. S. Dali
ton. This week he was busy cut
ting out unsightly growths of grass
and weeds that had grown along
the edges in certain districts. A
big Improvement!
Notice to deer and chink hunters:
Better take out life insurance be-
fore starting on that hunting ex-
pedition. They're killing them Oft
fast or filling them full Of lead OVER
in Washington. No telling when
YOU may be distaken for a bird!
Have you read the newspapers of
the past few days.
This" said the old desert rat,
waving a hand toward the seeming
ly endless expanse of sand and cac-
tus-'this is Gods own countryl"
The tourist pondered the state
ment moment, and then replied
We'll, it is very cleverly
arranged to discourage trespassing,
isn't it,"
Earl Buckingham has found out
that it is necessary to report to
state officials at Helena every auto
accident in which damage amount
ing to SIS or more has been suf-
fered. That's news to a lot Of car
drivers! Better chalk it down in the
memory corner Of your brain.
There are a lot OF holes left
in Libby streets, but Street
Commissioner Harmon and L.
S. Dalton have been filling up
some Of them this past week.
Tuesday they were laying
heavy blankets OF oil-mix at in7

thereby filling up ruts and inn
proving the drainage. Hope to
see the good work continued
throughout the city.

oBERLIN, May 26-Grand Ad-
miral Erich Raeder's warning
that American conveys for con-
traband to England would be an
"open war act" which would be
met by the guns of the German
navy if necessary removed AL
possibility of misunderstanding
over the significance of conveys
and what Germany holds to be
an act of war;" authoritative
sources declared today.
The statement of the COM
mander in chief of the German
navy, made in an interview with
Domei, Japanese news agency,
and published here yesterday
by DNB, official German news
agency, puts in precise techni-
cal language what has been gen.
orally known for some time, es-
pecially through the fuehrer's
words" in the opinion of the
Wilhelmstrasse.
Raeder described the Ameri-
can patrol system as "aggres-
sive" and said German warships
would be justified in engaging
any American naval units try
ing to protect cargoes of con-
traband for England.
His utterance has been re-
leased for verbatim reproduction
in the entire German press.
CARDS ON TABLE
I'VE have laid our sea cards
open on the table," authorized
sources furt..cr commented.
Admiral Raeder told the Ber-
lin representative Of Domei that
