FIGHT BRITISH ‘__(Con&n_ued__frorn_psge_ 1i of Malta.

It was a battle which will go down in naval annals, for not in the recollection of any officer present had such a. prolonged fight been won by so small a. force against such great odds.

I was aboard one of the cruis- ers which churned straight into the enemy's teeth, cuffed him off. ruined shells upon and around hun and finally pulled the convoy to safety right. out of what ap- peared to be certain destruction, not only to the frciyhlers but ‘A? the bulk of our thin-walled fight-

ing vessels.

‘ihe battle occurred Sunday, be- ginning in the early afternoon and ending only after dark when the mtsiisn fleet withdrew, puzzled, whipped and wounded.

In the Italian fleet were one battle chip o! the Litter-lo class with 15-inch guns, two eight-inch cruisers of the ‘lrento class, four six-inch cruisers of the Condott- ieri class and a screen of destroy-

err

Against them we had a six-inch cruiser and anti-aircraft cruisers whose heaviest guns were five and s quarter-inch and 16 destroyers. There wasn't a single gun in the British squadron which could do more than make s. minor dent in the Italian battleship.

“Mr. Jordan” I... Delightful And Different A3 Capitol The: Eire, Summerside

The greatest comedy in motion picture history-great because it dc- parts completely from the beaten track. because it possesses hilarious imagination and a background of deep emoiicu. Robert Montgomery. in one of the most unusual roles ever brought to the screen. is super- ably starred in the amazingly amus- ing new comedy.

Mr. Montgomery appears as a chap named Joe, who has an un- superable ambition. His efforts to attain that ambition are aided by sympathetic. understanding Mr, Jor- dan, a character delighifully real when portrayed bv Claude Rains. James Gleason contributes a stand- out comcdy performance. greater in effect than even hi5 magnificent work in “Meet John Doe," while Eri- ward Everett. Horton is similarly valuable as a somewhat impatient fuddy-duddy, of the type he has mode s by-word on the screen. Lovely Evelyn Kaye-s. in ihe roman- tic lead, proves herself an actress of remarkable ability heading for 1m- mediaie stardom.

Navy announced today.

Alihough the operation thrust gmps and planes of the American Pacific fleet deep into enemy ber- ritory only light oppcsitlcn was enoouniercd and the total Amer- icsn loses were but two aircraft.

Advices from Pearl Harbor said the raids tin-cw such e. scare into ‘Ibkcvko that ihe city's llgflfé were bis ed out for several nights.

The action conducted by Vice- Admirsl William F. Habey, 59, who was awarded the Distinguished Ser- vice Medal for similar attacks on the Marshall and Gilbert Islands Jun. 31, was hailed by naval eu- thorilies here as an eminently suc- cessful operation weakening the protection which the Jn nese are able to afford their ex nded routes of supply.

According to these provisions, ille District will be obliged m pay $100 to a teacher holding s, Super- ior Second Class license and $120 to a. teacher holding a. Superior First Class license.

“In the various proposals under this Act respecting first and sec- ond class teachers, tlfs 1s the only case where provision is made for extra payments by the District and all otter increases sre paid from ihe Provincial Treasury."

The speaker reviewed the in- creaeey. in detail to show that they would not constitute an undue hardship on the districts.

Sliding Seals Basis

Under subsection 2. Mr. McGufg- on continued, it is proposed to make increases on a sliding scale basis at various points of the ser- vice. He reviewed the scale in de- tail, starting with a male teacher vrith fifteen or more years‘ service, who will be entitled io an increase of S209. No increase exceeding $100, however, can be made in any one year.

The DQ111089 0f 1P2 Sliding scale, he said, is to encourage teachers to remain in the profession. He cited the Royal Ccmmission appointed under the chairmanship of Dr. Cy- rus MacMillan. yvhlclz after an ex- tensive investigation recommended a sliding scnlc of salaries, with per- iodic increases. The Teachers Fed- eration had also waited on the Gov- ernment several times in connection with ihe quesiion of incl-cased sni- sries. and recommended such a scale as is now proposed.
