NAVY NEEDS 200 AIR CRAFT.
Chief Of AeronauticaI Bureau Tells Of
Their Value In War.

Chief Of AeronauticaI Bureau Tells Of
Their Value In War.
Washington.-Capta Mark L. Bris-
tol, chief of the aeronautical bureau of
the navy department, declared that the
navy needs 200 air craft, 100 for active
service and 100 to be held in reserve.
ut would require an appropriation
Of 100000 to bring the aeronautical
branch of the navy up to the proper
standard of efficiency" Captain Bristol
says.
1.-THE air navy Of the United States"
said he, must consist of aeroplanes,
semirigid or nonrigid airships-the de-
stroyer, cruiser and battleships Of the
air, respectively. The aeroplane will
be used for scouting to discover the
enemy's feet, especially submarines
and mines, and to attack the dirigibles
and aeroplanes Of the enemy.
ut is the torpedo boat of the air
against the airship cruisers and battle
ships. Having discovered the subma-
rines and mines, it directs the air
cruisers to attack these craft, and at
the same time protects the cruisers
from the enemy's air craft. The air
cruisers also will lay mines, probably
will be used to drop aerial torpedoes
on the surface ships Of the enemy and
be utilized over land for reconnaissance
and dropping bombs.
"The uses to which air craft can be
put in war will be better known after
the European war. 1t seems that the
air navy will be just as essential a
part of the country's fighting force as
the battleships and submarines.
ITO be successful against any enemy
the country must have command of
the air the same as command of the
sea.
"Any nation that has suitable air
craft could detect submarines. The
aeroplane can see submarines and
mines very plainly and guide the diri-
gible to them, which can descend close
to the water and drop high explosives
to explode the mines Or destroy the
ouUudIlHCS' We CoH pin uP CAC nhAAoo

DEx Ter

The death Monday night of Edwin
G.. Aver, for many years dry goods
merchant on Main street, came as a
great shock to his family and friends.
He had been in poor health for two
years, but his condition was not con-
sidered serious and he was able to
attend to his business until the day Of
his death. Monday morning he was
feeling worse than usual and was
seized with apoplexy, dying late that
night Mr.. Aver was about 60 years
of age. A widow, two sons, Glen and
William and a daughter, Mrs. Charles
Brewster, survive.
George r. Aucock, potato buyer Of
Boston, returned Sunday from a bust
ness trip to Boston. He reports that
potatoes from Maine are arriving in
Boston in very bad shape and that the
produce merchants there are dis
couraged over the outlook. Extremely
warm weather is the chief cause for
the damaged potatoes and the more
seasonable weather of this week is
the cause of great rejoicing to the
farmers who have quantities of pota-
toes to ship.

forest almost proved a death trap for
another Aroostook man a few days
ago, when Charles Carpenter of this
town was lost for So hours. Wet, hun
cry, and exhausted. he managed to find
his way out unaided, just as his hunt
ing companion was starting back to
Houlton to organize a searching party.
1t was an experience which Mr., Car
penter does not care to repeat.
In company with John McNair. Mr.
Carpenter went to Letter B township
for days hunting. The two men
left their horses at farm house and
started into the surrounding woods
on foot. 1t was cold and disagreeable
and McNair returned to the clearing
some time later. taking the horse and
starting for home with the vehicle.
He left word for Carpenter to remain
at the farmhouse until the next day,
when he would come up from Houl-
ton for his companion in his auto
mobile.
Accordingly McNair motored up to
the farmhouse the next morning to
find that Carpenter had not appeared.
The utmost alarm was felt for his

safety and. after considering the mat
ter carefully, McNair decided to motor
back to Houlton and return with a
large crew of men and commence
searching the woods. Just as MeNair
was about to start, Carpenter-wild
eyed and acknowledgement into
the farmhouse yard. He was com
pletely exhausted.
Carpenter told how he lost his
bearings in a swamp soon after he
and McNair had started out ON the
previous day. Despite his endeavor
to find his way out, he at length dis
covered that he had been travelling
about in circles, experienced woods
man though he was. 1t was fast be-
coming dark and Carpenter spent a
miserable night, stumbling about in
