ALT,ESUM, Norway, Oct. 18. (AP)
A Norwegian fishing boat skipper
asserted today h was trapped In
the midst of an hour and a half
North Sea naval battle Monday after
noon between five British warships
and about ISO German planes.
The captain of the fishing boat.
Kvaloy, said bombs dropped on all
tides and the crew, fearing their ship
would be sent to the bottom, pre
pared to take to the lifeboat.
No Hits fleen
He said his crew could see that
neither ships nor planes were hit, but
after the warships steamed away they
heard an explosion and saw a fire
oolumn on the horizon.
(Both the German and British ad
miralties reported a North sea en
gagement Monday between planes and
warships. The Germans asserted thetr
bombers scored 10 direct hits, but the
British contended there was no dam
age.) The fishermen were operating near
the Viking bank, the skipper reported,
when suddenly. a "huge number" of
warplanea approached from the west
and five British warships from the
east. He estimated the number of
planes at ISO.

STILL PAYING OFF
FREDERICK. Md. (AP Barbara
Fritchie'a home town will be paying
off lu aaoo.000 civil war ransom
until 1051.
It was Barbara Prltchl who waved
a Unton flag at Confederate troops
and said: "Shoot If you must this
old gray head." But shs hsd been
dead two years when Confederate
General Jubal A. Early presented the
town with a ransom bill.
fn lfM Early's troops marched "up
from the meadows rich with corn"
and entered Frederick after a day of
flfthtlng. Early notified the city fa
thrrs he wanted iOO barrels of flour.
3.000 pounds of coffee. 6,000 pounds
of sigar. 3.000 pounds of salt and
30.000 pounds of bacon.
His note added: "We require of the
mayor and town authorities $200 000
In current money for the iwe of thin
army."
Early gave the town the choice
of furnishing provisions or money.
The mayor and aldermen conferred
with the banks and decided to pay
in cash. Early aent a wagon int .
town and the banks loaded It with
bushel basketo of greenbacks.
While Early marched on toward
Washington, an argument arose hen
as to who should pay the money.
The city finally agreed to pay i33.
000 and borrow the money to repay
the banks. In :B88 this obligation
waa consolidated with the reM of the
city debt. Bonds were Issued to cover
It in 1918.
Frederick didn't have ths money
to pay the bonds when they came
due. so the issue was refunded. The
last of the bonds won't be paid off
until 1M1.

Appreciation of the cooperation
and assistance rendered by the resi
dents of southern Oregon In the
prevention and control or fires In
the Rogue River national forest dur
ing the past season was expressed
today by Supervisor Karl L. Janouch
at part of the observance of national
fire prevention week. Mr. Janouch
said that Individual citizens, news
papers, chambers of commerce, local
service clubs and commercial organ
izations gave valuable cooperation
throughout the summer and that
the excellent fire record of the forest
for the year la largely a result of
that cooperation.
The Rogue River national forest
record shows that there were 1 SO
fires during the summer, with very
adverse weather conditions, and only
63 acres were burned over, the
smallest acreage In the history of
the forest. Only 28 of the fires were
man-caused and the rest were set
by lightning. This Is a decrease in
man-caused fires of 20 percent under
last year and of 10 percent under
the average of the past five years,
In spite of the Increased number
of visitors In the forest.
Mr. Janouch said that not only
were the people careful to prevent
fires but they also assisted in the
control of those caused by lightning.
He said that In one afternoon a
storm, accompanied by little rain,'
; started 88 fires scattered over the
entire forest and that the voluntary
, services of ranchers and forest vlsl
1 tors, In reporting fires which they
j saw. working on suppression and
I furnishing transportation and equip
j ment. were invaluable in controllln
the fires while they were small
! The largest of the lightning fire
was confined to an area of abou:
two acres and most of them wen
controlled before they had spread
from a single tree.
National fire prevention week 1:
being sponsored by the Internationa
Association of Fire Chiefs and Mi
Janouch pointed out that the U. f.
forest service Joined In the obsri -vanoe
of the week because the 1m
portance of preventing fire In cities,
towns and homes Is equalled by thr.
Importance of preventing fires which
bring destruction to the forest camps,
watersheds and mountain play
grounds which make homes and com
munities better places in which to
live.
