It is now on display at the Naval Academy. When the Marines went ashore, Gen. Williams sald, the Spanish garrison had fled, and the natives were looting the Spanish military supplies. After dispersing the na- tives, Gen. Williams disposed his Marines as a and then or- dered the United States flag run up on the staff from which the Spanish had hauled their banner down.. Later, Gen.

U.S. Fleet to Add Sub Chasers, World War Nemeses of U-Boats A new fieet of submarine chasers, or “Cinderella” boats, will soon en- ter the war in an effort to equal or better the records of activity against German U-boats in the first World Allied attacking fleets and hunted in offensive operations across a good | portion of the Seven Seas. One hun- | dred of them were manned by | French sailors, and also did a job of | War. hunting and attacking. As an indi- | The Navy announced yesterday that an undisclosed number of the chasers — officially known as PC boats—would be built at once by contractors scattered throughout the Nation. Many of the firms which will build them built some in the earlier World War, it was said. The chasers of 1017-8 made life miserable for submarine command- ers. They were 110 feet long, and 440 of them were built. This time there will be two lengths—110 feet and 170 feet. Although the Navy does not say so, the larger ones probably will have a longer range than the 500 miles the former used to make without refueling. The Cinderella boats screened the cation of how fast they can assemble and get into action, the Navy yester- day recalled that 33 of them joined in the hunt for the German subma- | rine U-151 when it appeared off the | New Jersey coast in June, 1918. In October, 1918, 12 of these little boats participated in an attack on the Aus- | trian naval base of Durazzo and| were believed to have sunk two en-§ emy submarines without any losses on their own part. The fleet was broken up at the cloee of the war in 1918 and was sold, mainly for fishing craft. They were called “Cinderella” boats because they were not invited to the festivi- ties at first, but when they arrived, they stole the show.

Rationing 1 Tire Is Manila,Utah’s, Latest Problem By the Associated Press. | \ MANILA, Utah, Jan. 3.—;11!5 Manila has its troubles, too. | The recent tire rationing order | allotted one tire to Daggett County, | raoutedly the only county in the | ed States without an incorpo- | town, and instructions pro- | e that “not more than 25 per | coat of the allotment may be issued in any one week.” | The county rationing board is wendering how it can follow in- siructions. | Manila’s 465 people, however, are usad to meeting emergencies. Ma- nila, the county seat, has neither doctor, lawyer nor dentist, and is s2rved neither by train nor bus. | Journeys to other parts of Utah must be made through adjoining ‘Wyoming, and routes are often blocked by storms. County commissioners receive $5 & month and the same man serves | as clerk, recorder, treasurer and | suditor. | Although the county has the highest birthrate in Utah, residents complain they never get credit for | it because nearly all bables are bom in Wyoming hospltals. | A WED 50 YEARS—Mr. and Mrs. Andrew L.
