ing in the upper and the other in the
lower yard. In the upper yard three
tracks on the southeastern side OF the
freight shed are being moved about Is
feet in order to make more room for
teams that crowd the driveway after
freight. The space left will be graded
up with gravel "fill' and the congested
condition that has existed at that
point for some time will be done away
with. The lower yard is to see still
greater changes. The sidings from the
repair shops to the big coal shed will
be moved over 20 feet and additional
tracks will be laid. This move was
necessitated by the increased amount
of traffic. There is talk Of taking down
the Skowhcgan coal shed, as the site
is needed for other purposes. The plans
as laid out will take month or so for
their completion.

BEST IN WORLD.
Unstinted Praise for American
Army and Navy
By Admiral Dewey and Gen. Miles at
New York Banquet
OF Founders and Patriots of America S
General Court.

New York, May 13.-The annual
meeting of the General Court of the Or
der of the Founders and Patriots of
America, was held in the governor S
room of the City hall here, today. on
the 29lth anniversary of the settlement
of jamestown. Governor General Col
Oeln Ralph Earl Prime presided and Of
ficers were elected with Admiral George
Dewey governor general.
The formal installation of the officers
took place at the Waldorf-Astoria i'll
the evening, just before the dinner Civ
en- by the New York state society for
the general court. At the dinner Gov.
Robert &. Roosevelt, of the state So
ciety, presided. In a brief address,
Admiral Dewey said in part:
II don't know as we have any better
navy than we had before, but we have
better tools than we had a few years
ago. OF course the newspapers will say
we have not, but take my word for it,
we have the best ships and the best
officers and the best men in the world.
AS to the enlisted men especially, we
are getting the cream of the world, and
with such men ready and eager to fight
the other nations are going to let us
alone. In few years to come, the
American people are going to have the
very best navy in the world, not for ag-
gression, but to protect our rights"
Gen. Miles, speaking in praise of the
American soldier said:
1T has been my privilege to see most
of the armies of the world. 1 have
studied carefully the armies of Japan
and China and the soldiers of Russia
and the success in the East, today, of
the soldiers of the MikadO is due to
their wonderful kill, the faithful per-
Torrance of their duties and their re-
markable enterprise. The Russian SOL
der is courageous in saying his prayers
before going into battle, but the same
thing may be said of the soldiers of the
Sultan and l Rave found on the battle
field it is the fighting and not the pray
ing that wins.
"Of all the armies of the world ours
seems to differ in that the men are
serving for principle. Ours seem to
feel that they are working for a free
people-a republic in which every man
is a sovereign and every woman a SUI
perior of a sovereign. Our flag repre-
sents the sovereignty and the freedom
Of manhood. 1t is a pleasure as we'll as
an honor to serve under it. l know this
from 40 years experience as q soldier
In all that time there never was an
hour of the day when it was not q
pleasure for me to be in the service"

Combs is not the first of a series of
similar disasters. The general opin-
ion on the campus, yesterday after
noon, was that, although the stand is
incomplete. yet, that the break was
due to an imperfect board used in con-
struction, and that before the work
proceeds farther, the stand should be
subjected to searching scrutiny by
the building committee.
