The Aeroplane in Warfare.

An article in the July Seribner on
The Aeroplane in Warfare, by Charles
Il. Preston, has all the interest of ro-
nance, but every detail is fact based
upon months of observation and spe-
cial study. 1T gives the most com
plete information about the part aero
planes are playing in the present war.
There are stories of the exploits of
daring aviators.
''The war has taught US, it has been
shown beyond doubt, that, to a large
extent, = n aviator may be said to bear
a charmed life even when over the
enemy's fire. Time and time again
machines have descended with their
planes honeycombed with bullets, and
it has been shown that to bring an
airman down by gun-fre or rifle-fre
it is necessary either to kill or wound
the man himself or to damage an in
tegral part of the machine to a degree
that makes it uncomfortable. Rihe-ire
has proved ineffective, save by sheer
luck, but anti-aircraft guns are more
serious NATTER

UDINE, Italy, June 8.-The Italian
soldier seems imbued with the belief
that King Victor Emmanuel is able
each day to be on every battle front
and that he always is where peril
seems the greatest or where encourage
ment and succor are most needed.
As a matter of fact the monarch is
a most energetic parsonage. In his
gray automobile he dashes along the
flat roads of Eriuli, appears on horse
back in the hills near Goritz, climbs
on muleback the Carnic passes, and as
cends on foot, aided by an alpenstock.
the heights of the peaks overlookina
Rovereto.
Both the king and his first aide
General Ugo Brusati, are expert alpin
lists. General Brusati is famous TO,
having accomplished the retirement
of his forces after the battle OF
Adowa, Abyssinia, when as a colone
he led his men along the crests of the
Abyssinian alps and succeeded in say
ing them from development by tn,
Abyssinian tribesmen.

hands OF a receiver, the public service
commission stated in a communication

This communication accompanied q
draft OF the new bill agreed upon by the
public service commissioners Of Maine,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts, as
the best method of effecting reorganiza-
tiUn of the road.
To this bill, as presented in this state
to-day. was added provision for fnanc-

CLEANUP EFFORT
RESULTS IN BAD FIRE
Fair Haven Building Damaged $500
When Papers Burned in Furnace
Caused Apparatus To Be
Over Heated.

Fair Haven, March 2O.--Ihe cleanup
movement in the local schools Friday
because OF the fact that school closed
for the spring vacation, resulted in a
fire. Paper from the rooms Of the grad
ed school building in the rear of the main
structure was being burned in the fur
mace which became overheated causing
the blaze. AT 3:45 o'clock in the after
noon the alarm was pulled in, and by
the time the fire department reached the
place the fire was well underway. The
ilames had eaten their way up into the
partition, which made the fire a hard
one TO fight. Nevertheless, the firemen
soon had it under control.
Tile boy scouts rendered yeoman serv-
ice in saving books, desks and other
property. The damage is estimated at
$500, partly covered by insurance.
While the fire was in progress the COM
pany was summoned to the restaurant
OF j. r. Durick, but before the fire fight
ers arrived the fire was out. The ex-
plosion OF gasoline stove started the
blaze in the restaurant.
