One Days of Shelling RUSSIA MASSES NAVY NEAR ESTONIA Yesterday Germany officially announced the unconditional sur render of Warsaw, Poland capital, twenty-one days after the seige itegan and Nazi troops plan to oc cupy the city tomorrow. In 1915 the German army forced the capitulation of Warsaw within fifteen days. Conflicting press reports have *been received regarding a naval battle in the North Sea, where Germany claims a victory over the British fleet in attacking a second British aircraft carrier and the vital damage of a British battleship by dropping huge bombs from airplanes. The car rier was sunk when a 1,100-pound bomb scom <| a direct hit, accord ing to Geirnan claims The Brit ish Admirnllty denied the report, saying that the British fleet was attacked by twenty german planes, but not a ship was hit. One Orman plane was shot down and another badly damaged. The little nation of Estonia was reported badly worried this morning by the massing of the Russian fleet just off her coast. Russian Intentions so far have been a mystery, but observers say that developments point to Rus sia's establishing a protectorate over Estonia In the meantime Britain has voted a war budget of $8,000.000.- 000 to conduct a quick war. This sum, which will be spent in the first year, will be raised by in creases on income taxes and by huge defense loans A Russian freighter was tor pedoed last night near Estonia waters by a submarine of un known nationality and is expect ed to cause grave diplomatic problems.

Lions IFin Friday From Philomath The Cottage Grove Lions won the season's first game handily Friday afternoon from Philomath 19 to 0. playing on the Philomath grounds and without the services of two regulars. First score of the game came just before the half-time gun as Bill Spies flipped a ten-yard pass to Newton, who reeled off ten more yards for a touchdown. Another pass from Spies to Davenport was good for the extra point. The second score of the game came late in the third quarter af ter the Lions had made a sus tained march down the field and Newton pushed over for six points from eight yards and Lusk went over for the extra point. Philomath never seriously threatened to score but marched to the Grove twenty-five yard line after the opening kickoff, but the Grove line stiffened to halt the only likely Philomath threat. Twice the Lions fumbled in scor ing territory in the first and last quarters and a 25-yard run by Davenport was nullified with an offside penalty. Three passes were intercepted by Spies, Newton and Tommy Jones, substitute half back. The Lions played without the services of Darrell McKibbon and Dean Whitlock, regular guards, who were benched because of in juries.
