The gunfire of the German soldiers

err machines disappeared. but one Of
them, supposed to be manned by the
other Englishman, is reported to have
fallen in the lake, the aviator being
drowned. Another report says the Sec
ond machine was forced to land in
Wuertemburg. In any event only two
machines were seen later flying to-
ward Belfort, which is 125 miles in a
direct line from the Zeppelin estab-
lishedment.
The raid is said to have caused
much anxiety in Friedrichshafen. The
number of quick-firers has been dou-
bled and all foreigners, 1t is said, have
been expelled, as it is believed that
spies gave the information that an
other Zeppelin had been completed.
The lake is being searched for the
aviator who has not been accounted
for.

Geneva, Via Paris, Nov. "a, 1910 A.
M,-Details of the aeroplane raid on
Friedrichshafen have been received
here from Romanshorn, Swiss town
III miles from Constantine.
From this account it appears that
two French and two English aviators,
the former mounted on monoplanes
and the latter on biplanes, arrived
above Friedrichshafen at 1 o'clock Sat
urday afternoon, flying at great speed
and keeping at a great height. Sud-
denly two of the machines planned dow n
to about 400 yards above the city ana,
amidst a hail of shells and bullets
from six quick firers, worked by the
men of the Bavarian regiment, circled
for half an hour during which they
threw about ten bombs in the vicin-
ity of the Zeppelin shed. One of these
bombs struck home, destroying part
of the shed and some machinery there
in. 1t is reported that one of the lat
est Zeppeln's which was ready to be
launched was badly damaged, but the
Germans deny this.
The thousand or more workmen en-
ployed about the place were at din
ner when the raid occurred, or the

SLIGHT FALLING
OFF IN OCTOBER
GAME SHIPMENTS

Returns giving the game shipments
from the various stations in the game
country on the Bangor & Aroostook
r. R., have been received for the
George M. Houghton. general passen-
ger traffic manager of the B. & A,
and show that there has been a slight
falling off in shipments this season
over last.
The fact that there were only 1854
deer shipped from these stations dur
ing the month Of October, as the re-
turns show, is due to several causes,
but the camp owners attribute 1t
largely to the $25 fee for out of the
State hunters. There have been few
er sports in the woods this season.
and in addition to that there is a
great deal of hunting done from au-
tomobiles in october, which cuts down
the railroad shipments.
The largest total of deer shipments
which the B. & A. r. r. has any
record of was in October, 1905. when
there was total of 1888 from the
same stations.
The following shows the shipments
of deer from the various stations:
Hudson, /; South Lagrange, 2;
Medford, /; Rand Cove, 2; Old Town,

last year.

Brownville and one each from Grind

Building
THANKSGIVING SPIRIT IN
BELFAST is STRONG

Belfast. Me-, Nov 24.--(SpeciaD.-
At the meeting of the Belfast Home
and School Association, held last
night in the High school building, the
matter of a new schoolhouse for Bel
fast was discussed, pro and con, but
it was then decided that talk was USE
less and that in order to get to any
real understanding in the matter, n
committee should be appointed to
meet Charles W. Frederick, the trus-
tee of the Pierce fund, the bequest
to the city for a public school build

ing committee was appointed to see
and talk with Mr.. Frederick: S. A.

At the meeting last night, Charles
S. Bickford, the president, was in
the chair and a brief entertainment
in the form of a war talk by the
American History class of the B. H.
.. was enjoyed.
Supt. w. B. Woodbury. of the pub
lie schools then made a brief speech,
telling of the congested and crowded
condition of the schools, and of the
unsanitary buildings in which the
youth of the city is compelled to live
for six or more hours a day for a
greater part of the year. This Is all
well-known to citizens and has been
discussed for years. Last year a fine
building to cost $S5 5000 was practical
ly within the grasp of the city. when
through some technicality it was
found to be impossible and imprac-
tical. 1t was abandoned and the need
is now greater than ever. Mr.. Wood
bury told of what is being done to
put the Mcclellan homestead in upper
High street into condition to take
care of the North Primaries which
since the burning of the building in
that district last winter has necessi-
tated those schools being cared for
in the rooms in the City building,
turned out of their rooms, a number
of the city officials. He asked for a
general discussion.
Hon. John r. Dunton said that he
thought a building might be built
through the association that was to
build the one of last year, but instead
of having it cost $4,000, which was
found impossible at this time, to erect
one costing, say, $4,000.
c. w. Wescott thought that a
building might be built cheaper by
the city than by an association mas

to the fact that for generations small

The Chester Commercial club is the
i~nstigator of the proposition and do
mated a lot for the building. The
Commercial club left it TO the COM
mittee selected by the creamery DR.
%poration to pick the lot that suited
them best with the promise that 1t
would be presented to them by the
club without cost to them. The loca-
ton that was chosen by the commit
tee is in the same block as the Ches-
ter mercantile company store and is
the best location in town. The build
ing will be equipped with all the lat
est improved machinery with an ice
plant that is large enough to supply
all the ice that will be used in the
town and surrounding country. When
this plant is ready for operation, il
is claimed that it will be second to

is needless to say that the creamery
will be a success here, as the farmers
in this locality know what a good
thing is when they see 1t and we are

ceived orders from the headquarters
of the company to that effect. The
rate is 1 cent on messages amounting

will also be required on every tele-
gram sent. The telephone and tele-
graph companies will collect the tax
from the patrons. For instance, the
sender of a telephone message which
has heretofore cost Is cents will
hereafter be charged 16 cents.
Freight and express receipts require
a stamp and a Pullman car ticket
must be decorated with a 1-cent
stamp. The"iist of articles requiring
a war stamp tax is a long one, and
the government estimates receipts
from this source at $105,000, 900 a
year. 1t is a democratic proposition,
alleged to have become necessary on
account of the war in Europe, which
has caused a falling off of the regular
