USE OF FLAG ISLAND
CONTINUED from Page One)
The Complete Report

The complete report is as follows:
Having concluded my survey OF the
Maine coast, for the purpose OF ascer-
tanning what sites are suitable for the
Maine station Of the Aerial Coast Pa
troll, which the Aero Club Of America
Is endeavoring to have provided. have
the pleasure of making the following
preliminary report. which contains
briefly the conclusions to which I have
come.
Il suggest that Upper Flag Island
of about go acres. in Casco bay. be rec
commended as the most suitable site for
the Maine division Of the Aerial Coast
Patrol My reasons are:
list. Its position being but nine
miles from Portland harbor. and but
y miles from the mouth of the kenne-
bee. places both directly within easy
vision of aviators arising from it.
Second. 1t commands not only the
mouth of the kennebec and all APP
breaches to Portland, but the ella borate
system of Notifications which protect
both.
''3rd Thus, with a minimum Of eff
fort and time. aerial observers work.
ing from Flag island may command
the offshore approaches to Portland
and Bath, and the inner waters Of
Casco bay which lie behind the Port-
land defenses. The importance Of a
constant aerial surveillance of Casco
bay in the event of hostilities cannot be
overestimated as the bay provides per-
haps ore Of the best hiding places for
submarine vessels to be found any
where along the New England coast.
18th. Upper Flag island. although
one of the outlying islands Of the Cas-
co group, is so situated that 1t may
easily be defended. Directly behind it
lies Potts harbor, a landlocked body of
water wholly suitable for aeronautical
work. providing as it does smooth wa
ter in which aeroplanes may be tested,
and from or to which they may fly in
any weather.
18th. Its physical features render it
peculiarly suitable for marine flying
station. 1t is protected to seward By
high side which slopes gradually to-
ward Potts Harbor. It's harbor side
contains a bowl-like formation which
may be dredged to provide an ample
housing basin for sea-planes where
they may lie in any weather.
Many other features which will APP
pear in my detailed report, are no less
favora Bile to this site. while these and
those above related. have led me to
believe that Upper Flag Island should
be selected and that we should endeav-
or to secure its prompt utilization for
purposes of an Aerial Coast Patrol sta
ton

Martin L. Keith, the Auburn lapidary,
has just come into possession of a large
Brazil stone that is known as black
rings there are black spots all through
the stone. 1t takes a beautiful polish
and he will cut it up for that purpose.
Mr. Keith says that agate is formed by
water charged with silicate. Each band
adds one band or circle and usually
these are different in color. The harden
ing process may require geological age
as nature never hurries in making her
most beautiful productions. The great
citerine gem cut by Mr.. Keith is attract
ing much attention on account of both
size and color 1t is 213a carat stone.
The Selectmen of Old Orchard have
appointed John H insolvency town
clerk to succeed Wesley G. Newer,
who resigned last week to study in

He was Mr.. Viewers opponent at the
municipal election last spring, running
on the Repub lican ticket. Mr. Newer
was elected as a Progressive and an
effort was made to secure the appoint
rlent of Progressive in his place to
keep intact the division of offices be-
tween Democrats, Republicans and
Progressives which obtained at the
spring election, but this was unsuc-
cessful.
The man who has been roaming
through the woods at kennebunkport
for two days, believed at first to have
been Clarence Record of Biddeford, an
insane hospital patient out on parole.
was finally captured in a fish house at
Cape Porpoise and proved to be a
young man named McAllister from
Rockport, Me-, who escaped several
days ago from the State School for
Boys at South Portland. The identi-
fication was made by letters on his
shirt. On account Of a heavy growth
Of beard he appeared much older than
he was and so was wrongly identified
as Record who is nearly twice his
age. The latter is still missing and it
is feared may have committed suicide.
Katherine Babcock, aged Is years,
daughter Of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene H.
Babcock, of 1874 Warren street, was walk
ing with girl friend, Bernice Richards,
OF Sidney street, from Polls corner to-
ward Warren's corner. Bangor. shortly
before $50 P. NJ. Saturday, when an au-
tomobile approached from Main street
and struck the Babcock girl in the right
hip. throwing her into the air from the
force of the contact. She fell heavily
upon the paving and crosswalk granite,
and was rendered unconscious. The doc.
tor found badly bruised hip and num-
erous bruises on body and limbs. The
automobile then sped up Hammond street
into Columbia and disappeared, the DO
lice officer on duty at the crosswalk be-
ing too busy in attending the injured
girl to stop it. Five men were in the
automobile. but witnesses state that they
made no effort to stop. their one object,
apparently. being to get away.

ing corruption of government officials
We're broken up by the police.
A short time before the fall Of War
saw. it seemed that the situation had
been greatly improved by the arrival
of 100000 shells. 1t was not until
some oftthese were taken to the &C
tual firing line that it was discovered,
according to reports. that they were a
fraction of an inch too large to fit any
Russian gun. BY an odd coincidence,
however they were of the exact cal
ibre to fit some Of the German artil-
lery.
1t is also we'll known that a large
amount of shrapneI was offered Rus
STA ny American manufacturers six
months ago. but for some reason was
not accepted. Since that time Russia
has been forced to buy the same
shrapnel at almost double the first
price quoted,
What Ammunition Means
1t is the opinion Of most military OBJ
servers that with full supply of am
munition the Lublin- Chelm line and
the Russian positions along the Wis.,
tua could have been effectively de-
Tended officers who helped to conduct
the retreat of the Russians from posi-
ton to position, from one line OF
trenches literally swept away by Ger
man fire, to another, state that the
Teutons built their trenches in plain
sight of the Russian positions and in
such easy range of the Russian bat
teries that a few rounds of ammuni-
ton could have wiped out every sign
If the invaders. Whenever there was
a chance to fight the Russian soldiers
fought with great obstinacy, but in the
ma iority of cases. the tempest Of the
German artillery attacks so effectively
accomplished it's aim that a charge was
superfiuous. In many cases not sim
Gle Russian soldier was alive. The Ger
mans then prepared to take the next
position and the performance was re-
peated
Meanwhile the Russians were ex-
pending before retreat actually the last
shell they had. Caissons laden with
ammunition were rushed up at full
speed to the battery positions, unload
ed and vainly spent. Continual rumors
were heard that fresh ammunition was
arriving. 1t was, but it was coming too
slowly. Two days before Warsaw was
abandoned ammunition began to arrive
in large quantities. but the Russian
forces, threatened with being complete
~ cut eff by the encircling movement
which the Germans were attempting,
could no longer gamble on the chance
on an 11th hour arrival of ammunition.

Two Fast Amateurs
Will Box TUESDAY

Brud Shamrock of Seattle, at one
time amateur hoxing champion OF
the northwest and who has a we'll
established reputation on the coast,
and Beryl Eaton, acknowledged to be
the fastest boxer at his weight in
Ashland, will meet in a ten-round
boxing exhibition at the armory next
Tuesday evening. Young Shamrock
has been residing in Ashland for
some months past. These two young
men are the fastest at their weight
in the city if not the valley and fans
may look forward to a clever exhibit
tion next Tuesday evening when the
bell sends them together at $3.50
o'clock. They will box at 1873
pounds. A four-round preliminary
between two local amateur middle
weights is being arranged. The box
ing contests held at the armory some
time ago were we'll received and
were clean and interesting exhibit
tions of the manly art. The coming
event is assured of good patronage.

electrical engineer made remark in
my hearing, You have the mode
electric light plant on this coast"
$4,000 Margin.
A word as to r. d. Sanford's crit
icism of the contract, In my opinion
if it was his personal and private
trade, he could not safeguard his in
terests better than are the city's by
this contract.
AS to the $500 minimum per
month. Owing to the more than
81, 900 income per month, the COM
mittee could not hammer the COM
pany to less than the $500. 1t takes
two to make a bargain.
While 1t is true, as Mr.. Sanford
states, that 500 month is $S,4O0
per year (for current) it is also true,
as he failed to state, that an average
margin of 5000 monthly to the city
is $4,000 per year-s72,OO0 during
the contract life.
These figures are upon present
conditions and not on prospective
growth, and are conservative.
Originally | opposed term longer
than ten years, but finally accepted
the twenty-year basis, as I did not
feel justified in opposing what other
wise seemed an agreement favorable
to the city, which it certainly is.
Personal Opposition.
Some years ago when this light
question was last before the people,
in an attempt to secure an increased
supply of current by means of an
other city plant, it was bitterly op-
posed by a well-known citizen,
voter and taxpayer, said gentleman
urging the city buy its current, even
advising the city's plant be closed
up.
Today he opposes the buying of
current, although better prices than
then were possible have been Sc
cured in the contract.
The less-than-cost rate now fur
nished to the ice plant by the city,
and the fear that the city might dis
continue to supply the few at less
than cost, If this contract is ratified,
may account for the gentleman's
present opposition.
Lastly, the responsibility for the
result Of the electric light election
rests with the people; the city coun-
Gil has done its duty after months of
careful investigation by its electric
light committee.
I hope every voter will attend the
polls, and the result be decisive.
