She related incidents which explain clearly the crowded conditions which are being faced in the ldcal school situation and stated .the need of the cooperation of every man, woman and child in the city inl i'providing for the pupils proper rooms ~and equipment for their studies.

Especially entertaining features on the program included a violin solo by {Mrs. C. R. Sanborn, a vocal solo by Miss Ella Laqua, and readings by Miss Josephine Parker. These num- bers were all very well received. : Following the close of the pro- ;gram, a light lunch consisting of jice cream, cake and comee was served by the reception committee and a so- :ciable hour was then enjoyed by all. ‘Th association rooms were neatly decorated with flowers furnished by Huffman. & O'Leary for this occasion. i BUSINESS COLLEGE REGISTRATION MONDAY The Bemidji Business college will open for registration of students | Monday next and_classes proper will istart Tuesday.

Washington, Sept. 4.—A vivid de- scription of the accident to the sub- marine F-5 and the plight of the crew of the submerged craft, was given in a report received today by Secretary of Navy Daniels, from the commandant of the Philadelphia navy yards. “The F-5 made a quick dive for ex- ercise at 2 o’clock Wednesday after- noon and a large valve in the air tank failed to close, admitting a’large quantity of water to the living space. The boat reared to the bottom. Got valve closed and expelled all water possible, whereupon the stern barely lifted out of the water, bow on bot- tom and inclined 60 degrees. Water ran into the forward compartment. a storage battery gave out strong chlorine fumes; forward compart- ments exacuated and all efforts of seamen to expel water were unsuc- cessful. Chlorine gas forced all to vacate control room, after which thirty-eight officers and men crowded into two machinery spaces aft and soon began suffering from bad air. “With the stern just clear of water, the lieutenant commander, Cooke, and- crew began . filing a hole with small hand tools. Very slow work. Could only work few minutes at time accoint bad air. At 3 Pm. Thurs- day the steamer Alanthus passed the submarine and came close, attracted by calling and waving through small ‘holes which had been drilled through the submarine by Commander: Cooke and men. Alanthus -had no tools for: enlarging hole, but saved lives of whole crew by pumping air in with small water puipp. Steamer Goethals next arrived. Her chief engineer climbed onto the stern and worked with a small hand tool for eight hours. Splendid work. Finally bored hole large enough at 3 a. m. Friday so all crew escaped without serious injuries. All suffered from thirty- seven hours in bad air. Séme tem- porarily incapacitated.” Marion, Ohio, Sent.. 4.
