He has been pastor Of the church for
almost three years, and has been very
popular. He has been a hard worker

health broke down, and as a result he
feels that he must give up ministerial
work for a time. at least, and lead a
more active outdoor life.

fense.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1T.-"Both
greatly deficient In both personnel and
material. Neither is in even approx
mately proper condition for instruction
In time of peace, much less In condition
for reasonably efficient service in war.
The time necessary to put either in the
latter condition Is not a matter Of days
or weeks, but Of years"
Brig. Gen. Arthur Murray, chief of
artillery, thus sums up the condition OF
his arm of the service In his annual
report. He says it cannot be too
strongly urged that appropriate legis-
lation be passed to correct the de-
fects.
The total cost of the coast defenses
to February 81 last, General Murray
says. was $72,7 50,S53. The estimated
cost TO complete the defenses. including
purchases of ammunition and sites. Is
$50, S79.339. The deduction Is made that
considerably more than half the work
or coast defense has been completed.
The three elements most needed to
secure he greatest measure OF public
safety at the least cost, General Muir
ray says. are the full installation of the
approved range n position finders on
al! mounted guns and mortars, the
providing of ~searchlights for harbors,
and the complete equipment of all for
titled harbors with submarine mines.
The defense Of insular ports and the
entrances to the Panama canal, it is
estimated, will cost $19,S73.S95 for the
and $S.s27.6s2 for the latter.
The value Of submarine mines as an
element of harbor defense, General
Murray says, has been demonstrated.
He maintains that the system adopted
by the United States army is PRACTICAL
ly perfect.
Being under complete electrical con-
troll from the shore. he says. a line OF
mines may be rendered instantly de-
structive to an enemy or harmless to
friendly vessels. Therefore, he adds,
having SO many guns and mortars al
ready mounted in the United States. it
Is believed the greatest amoun of har-
dVlCilsS dl Lhc ledSt COSt Sdu De
procured by the completion Of the mine
system.
we cannot afford" Gen. Murray
ito wait for war before com
our mine defense, but must be
prepared beforehand"
Even then, he adds, a complete
would be no use unless
there were a trained personnel to plant
the mines n maintain and explode
them.
Pointing out that 1t will require 2,27S
officers and 55,110 men to provide one
relief for all the defenses constructed
and proposed in the Unitde States. at
the entrances of the isthmuian canal,
and in the insular possessions, Gen.
Murray remarks that under the pres
ent system 1t would be impracticable to
this number. Therefore, he
attention must be directed to
plan that will supply the de-
ficiency at the outbreak of war from
organized militia.
He thinks that most of the non-expert
class nay be supplied thus, as we'll as
a number of second class experts from
those forces in the states which give
training to it's guardsmen in
coast artillery duties.

miles west of Bangor, with Miss Net
tie Tow, of Norway. as teacher. The
winter terms of most of h schools be-

made.
Liberty township has the distinction
of having two schools that a $50. an
exceptionally high salary for country
teachers. No. 6 pays its teacher that
sum. as does also No. Z. Two other

ers in the county are close to the $50
mark, with $47.50 a monthly salary.
These wages are as high as many of
the grade teachers receive when they
