NEWSPA PER CORRESPONDENTS
VISIT BRITISH TRENCHES FRONT
REPORT OF APP. Representative

On in that gigantic Zig-Zagging ditch
in the darkness, slipping off the planks at
times and catching ones self by stretch
ing up the hands for support against the
wet and slippery walls, for mile the
visitors proceeded with heads below the
parapet, while the German flares lighted
the sky and while the British rapid-fire
gun whirred at intervals and the sn:pers
made reply. Then the correspondents
left the trench and wallowed in the mud
back to a point in the road outside the
bullet range, where a column of sturdy
soldiers was waiting before going upon
their turn in the trenches. Behind them
were supplies for the trenches and an
ambulance to care for any wounded who
had accumulated during the day in the
trenches or those hurt during the en-
trance Of relief parties or the departure
Of the men relieved when the German
rapid-fire guns sent out spray of bull
let's in the hope of finding a target under
cover Of the night.
The tired men who come out Of the
trenches find baths and clean clothes
awaiting them and have nothing to do
but rest until they return to the watch.
ioI ta!c biltlSiI diiilS AeSoANS S4tS go =
each mans physical well-being as the
prime essential.
The trenches. to the observer who sees
the British Lrmy for the fist time, do not
supply the most interesting feature. II
one seeks picturesqueness it may be
found on the road where the French
flank and the British line join-where
one sees the East Indian. a trotting bat
terry of French artillery. Belgian reserv-
lists at work on the road, and the British
in khaki.
In the doorWays where he is bilieted
one finds Tommy Atkins trying to talk
French with the inhabitants, driving
big tractor engine made in the United
States, riding out TO the front on bus
which once piled in London, sitting on
the front of an ambulance seat beside
the driver when he has only an arm
wound, or poking his head out OF shell
proof to see if there is any chance OF
the rain stopping in Flanders. His re-
marks about the weather are inteliisibie
profanity. The extreme thoughtfulness
with which all is done makes more last
ing impression. The fastidiousness about
sanitation and the treatment of the
wounded recall American methods.
There seems little unnecessary fighting
TO gain any minor advantage in the
trenches. Everything seems submissive
to a purpose-when the time comes for
the "big push which fill see the dead
lest fighting of the war.

SKOWHECAN

Hon Clyde Smith is to be the next
first selectman of this town and no may
or OF city came to his honor with a
more splendid victory than ne on Mon
day when he was elected by a plurality
of 256 votes over r. F. Parker. who had
held the office for % years without a
break. This town has never experienced
a more spirited political fight than Mon
day. A bigger vote was cast than ever
before, 1856 being cast for the selectmen.
OF these Smith had 665, Parker 49,.
The meeting opened at A. NJ, but for
an hour speeches were delivered in
nominating the awo candidates. Hon.
c. P Merrill spoke at length in behalf
Of Mr.. Parker and was followed by
George W. Cover. Esq. Clyde H Smith
in brief remarks said he had no lawyer
to represent him but plainly stated a
few facts in regard to his position. II.
T. Jewett came with his annual speech
Of personal feeling against Mr. Parker,
telling how he had been unjustly taxed.
Hon. z. y. Merrill. the towns largest
tax payer. spoke eloquently and spirit
edIy for candidate Parker. Socialistic
views were presented by Albert Blair.
The voters seemed to have the spirit
OF changing things and it swept out of
office TIE old officers with the execution
of Second Selectman Henry W. Demo,
who had no opposition, and put in new
men. In the matter of third selectman
the fgat was as peppery as for the
chairman of the board. Four candidates
lined up, Rev. J. w Packard, Charles
II. futile, Thomas Dionne and Rev
Samuel w. Emerson. When the votes
were counted c. H. futile, third Select
man for the past two years, was defeat
ed by Mr.. Packard, Mr.. Packard having
a plurality of u votes. The vote stood:
Packard, &C., futile, 1875; Thomas Dionne,
179; Emerson. IS.
Still the excitement continued over the
election of town agent. ". H Halves
and Edward F. Merrill were the candi-
dates and Mr. HAYES was elected by a
vote Of 5o2 to Merrill 49,
Willis Bailey was elected a member
OF the school board for three years de-
feating Thomas G. Lord who has held
the Office one term.
c. II. Lambert was elected town clerk
and collector. George E. Sampson treas
urer and A. B. Lamb auditor.
Mr.. Smith, the new chairman Of the
board of selectmen. is former sheriff OF
this county. He came here from Hart
land about ten years ago where he had
been prominent in business and had
served his town as selectman in the
various positions on the board and where
he was elected twice to the Legislature
He was the youngest member in the
Legislature, being elected the first time
when but q years old. When he was
elected sheriff he moved to Skowhegan
AMI since then has been prominent in
the automobile and real estate bust
ness.

Chatham, Mass, March s-Direct wire
less communication between the United
States and a neutral nation of the Old
World soon will be possible for the first
time since the outbreak of the war
through stations now virtually complet-
ed on Cape Cod and the coast of Nor
way.
These stations have been established by
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Co. of
America, but the new plans OF the COM
pany have not been officially announced.
The impression has been given that the
service might not become effective until
the close of hostlities. 1t is generally
reported, however, that it is intended to
meet the situation arising from the war.
The new route will be used for through
transatlantic business as distinct from
what is known as the inside" service of
the exchange Of messages with vessels
at sea, which work will be handled by
and Siasconset.
Cutting Of Cable
One Of the early acts of war by the
British was the cutting of direct cable
this country. German capital, however
had short time before erected wire
less stations at Eilvez. Prussia, and Say
Vile. L. l., and in this way war news
has been brought to this country direct
from Germany without interference from
other belligerents.
Wireless communication between
Clifden Ireland and Glace Bay N
S., also has continued, but there has
been no direct wireless service between
this country and the other great neu-
trails. Accordingly all the wireless war
matter from Europe has been censor
ed by one of these two belligerents.
Two stations have been built on the
cape, one here and the other at Ma
rion, 80 miles to the westward. 1t was
understood that the local station will
receive only while messages will be
dispatched from Marion. The Chatham
station lacks only the installation Of
instruments and the stretching Of AMI
tennae to the six poles that rise to a
height Of $50 feet. The company ac-
CURED a. piece of land several hundred
feet wide and extending in a south
westerly direction from Pleasant Bay
back through the woods for more than
mile.
