SECRECY SHROUDS
WIRELESS PLANT
IN PORTLAND

Portland, Ne, Oct. 29.-Shrouded in
the deepest mystery there is being con-
structed within half mile of Nason's
Corner at the very end of Warwick
equipped wireless station. The buiidln-
operations have been started only Il
few days, and today a large crew Of
men was engaged in clearing a plot OF
land measuring 1900 by so feet and maxi
ing ready for the installation of the
poles and wires OF the aerial. Already
a small temporary tool house and OIL
fee building has been completed and,
while absolutely no information is OIL
tainabie as 10 the details of the plans.
there is every indication that the sta
ton will be ready for operation within
few weeks at the outside.
The complete secrecy which has been
maintained regarding the construction
of the station and the connection with
II of Emil e. Mayer of Tuckerton, \. j..
alleged TO be connected with the Tucker
ton radio station in an official capacity
gave rise to the usual rurnor that the
station, is to be source OF German in
formation. While investigation today
did not prove or disprove this rumor Ell
tirely, only the most meagre of inform
alton being available, there is very liz
tie chance of the station being part Of
the German information system owins
to the fact that the construction worh
is being performed under the direction
of O. F. Heslar of Tuckerton, whose
identity has been established through r.
reliable source as United States naval
electrician connected with the wireless

EXPECT TO HAVE
BETTER LINE IN
BoWDOIN TEAM

Brunswick. Me-. Oct. 29.-lSpeciaD.
After a week Of hard practice, stiff
scrimmage, new plays, and thor
ough re-strengthening of the defense,
the Bowdoin team was put through a
light practice today and was given its
final instructions for the game with
Bates tomorrow at Lewiston Because
of the poor showing made against
Colby last Saturday Coaches Camp
bell and Smith have redoubled their
efforts to make the line impregnable
to line rushes. and to improve the
offensive. especially the backfield. In
the Colby game there were times when
the backfeld showed it had the punch
end attack to rush the ball dGpwn the
field, and during the past week OF
practice the offense OF the backs has
been coming along in fine shape. the
backs handling the ball surer. hitting
the line harder, and getting away
faster. Peacock has been showing up
especially well in the backfeld, play
ing most of the time on the first team
He has proved more consistent in
eoAuAHS SlOuHu lidH IItS OCAST DdchS
He has shown up well also on the de-
Tense. He will probably play most Of
the game tomorrow and he is likely
to prove a hard man to stop. The
other backs. Foster. Nevins. Stuart
and Bartlett. have also showed i'm
provement and are in good condition.
The line under a hard gruelling has
shown marked improvement and there
is little likelihood Of its repeating its
humiliating work Of last Saturday.
The team has received special coach
ing to enable it to break UP the open
style Of play that the Bates team ia
vors and is likely to employ tomor-
row.
The student body looks for clean
hard-fought game tomorrow and
large crowd Of supporters will be
there to back the team every moment
of the game.
