I " order that the umiiires shall have absolute authori- ' ty to enforce their rulings they have been ppointed by the National Commission smi their decision, it goes without saying, jnll be absolutely final. Moreover the tiM managers, Ueorge Stallings and Hugh Jeaaings, both of whom are death on aspires in general, have given their orda to abide by what the umpires say without a murmur. Thus there is no caaaee of any wrangling.. ' The teams will fight it out from the , drop of the hat. Ty Cobb, than whom there ia no better player in the game to day, may at any time, if he sees the lightest chance, try one of his famous ' diving slides for home from third base, And Hank Gowdy, who has a catching m that is the envy of every big leag- i arer of today, is just as likely to try to pick Cobb off second base as Tyrus is to try to steal home. The fine points of - the gams will all be brought out and with each club having ita staff of ten " pitchers nil on hand and warmed up, fhe .spectators are sure to be treated to a '. pitching treat unlike anything they have ver seen outside of the major league parka. The entire squads of both clubs will be bare although only the regulars the mm whom the two managers hive decid ed to use in the line-up when the cham : jionship season opens later this month ; will be started in the game here. It waa swly through the most desperate efforts ' ths part of the Boston club owners v'that it was possible to secure the dis ' charges of Hank Gowdy and Babbitt lfaran villa from the service in order to be with the Braves for the practice sea ' son, and that they will receive a welcome second only to that awaiting the Geor- , gia peach, otherwise Ty Cobb, when ht -t, un to tlie nlate. swineins four bat. to get hu muscle up, goes without say inse. The demand for tickets indicates ' that there will be a tremendous crowd at the game. Nor is this surprising in view ! the, attraction. UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA NEWS. r'CHAl'KL HILL, March 28.

British Submarine Nearly Destroyed by American Vessels While Being Tested. , Loudon. One of the greatest perils to allied submarines during the war was attack by friendly destroyers. A submarine was assumed to lje an ene my when sighted by the ships of any allied nation and it was op to the sub marine to show recognition signals If she was not German. But If it was a destroyer that sight ed the submarine she was always mak ing for the little craft by the time the recognition signals could be shown. A slight hitch In getting up a flag or fir ing a rocket would mean the subma rine would be forced to seek safety beneath the surface. Probably the last attack of this sort was made by American destroyers on a new British submarine of a large type. She was being tested when sighted by the destroyers and they made for her full speed. Something happened to the signal system, and the under-water vessel submerged as depth charges began to tear up the water. One charge shook her until the crew thought shewas doomed. The submarine was constructed to dive 320 feet, but that was forgotten as charge after charge exploded near by. Finally she struck bottom at 300 feet and it was found she was not badly damaged. She was kept on the bottom until her commander was cer tain the destroyers bad gone. Then she was cautiously brought to the sur face. "She don't need any more testing after that experience," the comman der reported to the officer in charge of the submarine base. ... n cayr UICC JU5I lis IIMt IU SAVE Wire Gambler Arrives Home to Find Spouse Unconscious From Fumes or Escaping Gas.

Washington. While educators ban spoken of what education ought to do and have propounded theories the bur den. of which has been that educatioi and life should be synonymous, on part of the United States has been ex perienclng such an ideal in actuai practice. In Alaska each schoolhoust Is a social center for the accomplish ment of practical ends. Many of thi buildings, in addition to the recltattot room, contain also kitchen, quarter! of the teacher, end a laundry aik baths for the use of the native com munity. ' Every teacher is a social worker Every district superintendent, in visit Ing bis widely separated schools, most travel vast distances by sied over thi frozen, trackless wilderness. Fre quently he must risk his life on treacb eroua, tempestuous waters in a natJv canoe or small power boat He must endure the violence of the northert storms, the rigors of the arctic winter and the foulness of the native huts ll which he must often find shelter. Directed by Bureau of Education. This work is carried on under tht supervision of the bureau of education and the details of current operatioc are reported upon by William Hamil ton. lie tells that there are in Alaska approximately 25,000 natives in vil lages ranging from 30 or 40, up to 30( or 400 persons, scattered along thou sands of miles of coast line and on th great rivers. Some of the villages oi remote islands or beside the frorei ocean are brought into touch with thi outside world only once or twice t year, when visited by a United Statei coast guard steamer on its annua; cruise, or by the supply vessel sen! by the bureau of education. Many of the settlements hate no reg ular mail service and can communV cate with one another and with th outside world only by occasional! passing boats in summer and.sleds it winter. During eight months of th year all the villages In Alaska, wltl the exception of those on the southerx coast, are reached only by trails ovei the snow-covered land or frozen rivers In spite of the difficulties of th problem a United States public school has been established in each of sev enty Villages. In many instances th school Is the only elevating power ia the community. Tuberculosis, pneumonia, rheuma tism, and venereal diseases prevail t an alarming extent in many of th native villages, and in its endeavor U safeguard the health of the natives ol Alaska the bureau of education main tains hospitals in five important cen ters. It employs physicians and nurs es, who devote themselves to medical and' sanitary wock, and provides medl cal supplies and textbooks to thi teachers to enable them to treat mtuoi aliments and intelligently to supervtst hygienic measures. There are exten sive regions in which the services ol m physician are not obtainable. Ac cordingty. It often becomes the duty ol a teacher to render first aid to thi Injured or to care for a patient through the course of a serious illness Supervise Co-Ope rativs Store. Another duty of the teacher is to su pervise the co-operative store which owned and managed by the natives who deal in everything but refrigei tors. Strange to say, the government of the white man has to protect thi native from the white man himself To secure the native from the intru sions of the unscrupulous trader, thi bureau of education has adopted thi policy of establishing reservations U which large numbers of natives can trt attracted and where they can obtali fish and game and conduct their owa Industrial and commercial enterprise The settlement at Noorvlk, on the Ko buk river, in arctic Alaska, Is one of the most conspicuous successes of thil Dolicr.

An uninhab ited tract on the bank of the Kobui river, 15 miles square, abounding Is game, flab and timber, was reserve by executive order for these Eskimos, and thither they migrated la the sum mer of 1915. On this tract In the arc- -tie wilderness the colonists, under thi leadership of the teachers, within tw years have built a Tillage with well lalcVout streets, neat alagle - famll bouses, ffr""", a mercantile company, a sawmill, an electric light plant, an wireless telegraph station wnicn tbem In touch with the outside world.

If President Wilson feels er has felt any uneasiness as to the attitude of Con gress when it comes to a real show down, with the League of Nations proposition to be accepted or rejected,, be has not shown" it He baa- stated repeatedly, both at home and abroad, that the Amer ican people were with him ia his advoea ey of a League of Nations as the only means of freeing the world from future wars. Knowing that the people, at least the great majority of them, are with him, Mr. Wilson rests easy. He has confi dence to believe that even a recalcitrant and belligerent Congress cannot stand out in opposition to a measure which the people want Public opinion ia already causing some of those ranktaakerous Senators who were so open and defiant ia their oppo sition to the League of Nations ia the closing days of the last session of Con gress, to change their attitude.
