upon it in the way of contributions to
the suffering millions of the war zone
Municipal Christmas tree celebrations

AUSTRO-
DOES NOT LOOK
FOR EARLY PEACE

Vienna, Dec. 9.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press).-An early
peace is not looked for by the Aus
tro-Hungarian government. Military
preparations continue to be made
throughout the Dual Empire, as The
Associated Press correspondent was
able to observe on a recent trip over
a considerable part of Austria and
Hungary. Along many of the principal
lines in eastern and northern Hungary,
MILITARY field works are being lald
out on a large scale. and the two prln-
cipal cities of the empire, Vienna ana
Budapest, are being prepared Tor de-
fence in a like manner. To the north
and east of Vienna, no less than nine
lines of defence may be observed ana
the field works of budapest are even
more extensive. Near all the larger
Austro- HUNGARIAN cities large oiiii
camps have been established. me
largest of these is near Budapest ana
there some 100000 men are either being
trained or given a chance to recuper-
ate from the hardships of EXTENDED
service at the front.
Though the government has seen Mt
to keep the news from the press, II Is
a fact that recently a monitor OF a
more powerful type than the Bod
roa" class has been put in commls-
sion and that another Of these vessels
is now being finished in the Budapest
government yard.
It is understood two other monitors
of this type are nearing completion
and that the keels for a number OF
others have been laid.

GAGNE THROWS HIS
OPPONENT TWICE

Alfred Gagne of Winslow, the well
terweight champion of Maine. lived
up to his indicated reputation
Christmas afternoon at Foresters' hall
when he threw twice in succession
Joe Grady, one of the premier wrest-
lers of Boston. Gagne weighed in at
las and Grady at 16S. After SIS min
utss of fast. aggressive wrestling,
Gagne pinned Grady's shoulders to the
floor with Leg scissors and half Mel
son hold. The second fall came after
80 minutes of hard. scrappy wrestling.
This time Gagne got his man on a
leg scissors and quarter Nelson hold.
The bout was witnessed by an UNI
usually large crowd, and We're well
pleased with the showing of the
wrestlers. Gus Vigue failed to appear
for a preliminary bout with Ralph
Areenault, and for substitution the
Butler boys of the North End boxed
three rounds. Peter LaPrice acted as
referee.

W|NSL0W SEEKS
TO REDUCE THE
FIRE HAZARD

A movement to lessen the fire haz-
ard in Winslow, in which town there
is much valuable property, has been
set on foot through the joint action
of the Board of Education Of the
town and members of the Board oil
Selectmen. Starting from the recent
total destruction of the Winslow High
school building, there has come de-
mand on the part of large properly
owners for increased protection.
Winslow has a good department, ana
an active and capable fire chief, but
in the event of large fire 1t has been
thought that some way ought TO 70

argued. The proposed plan Wouid DC
for the Winslow fire alarm system 20

such way that the Watervilie whls-
tie will blow for Winslow alarms, but
the Winslow whistle will not blow 1or

ranged by having the Winslow on an
independent circuit. the Waterviile
boxes being on several independent
circuits already. The part Winslow
would bear in the cost of such an
arrangement could be worked out on
a basis of calls answered. number OF
men employed in across-the-river
calls, with slight addition for the
wear and tear of apparatus. Members
of the fire committee Of the city gov
eminent when questioned about the
proposition by a Journal representa-
tive Friday evening said that they had
heard of it but that it had not yot
come before them officially. There is
a possibility that it will be brought
before the waterville city government
