this morning for Waterville to COM
pete in the first annual track meet Of
the Kennebec Valley High School
Athletic Association, which will be
held at 10 A. M. on the Alumni field
OF Colby College. There is a general
1eehng among those who have seen
the practice of the Cony team that
the Augusta boys should figure prom
lnently IN the meet and while it is not
safe to dope OUT the result of track
meet tnere are number of events in
wnlch the Cony boys feel sure of max
ing points. The members Of the Cony
team are Captain Turner. Taber, Den
mis-. Wyer. Thyng, Martin and Best.
ferley Turner, captain of the Cony
team, is entered in five events and is
pected to place in three. He has been
uoiHs excellent work in the broad

IN both the quarter-mile and half
mile. Capt. Turner placed in the broad
Jump at the Bowdoin meet last win
ter.
George Wyer is entered in the r.

1O0-yard dash.
George Martin, who is entered in the
half-mile only, has been showing good
form and as he is entered in no other

expected that they will be point VIM
ners.

is a backward county in the alfalfa belt that does not report as many as 30,000 head of cattle this year.
 In no branch of husbandry has more enthusiasm been aroused than this of cattle raising and what Is being done now will be increased manyfold with in the next three or four years.
 Every cattle grower will make an exhibit at the fair, and as for hogs and the grain crops, they will be in such large display as to cause everyone who takes an interest in farm products to open their eyes in wonder.
 While the management of the State Fair association is giving especial at tention to agricultural and industrial exhibits, the amusement features are to be exceptionally attractive. Large crowds of visitors always attend the fair. but from present indications this years attendance will be a record breaker.

CHANGING WORDS

From the St. Louis Post-Dlspatch.
 It is curious habit that history re- veals, that of stripping word of it's orisi- nal meaning and clothing it with a mean
 ing radically different. We were told in our high school days that Slav meant, originally, master" and that when the Slavs were captured in great numbers by the more civilized nations of Europe and impressed into involuntary servitude. they gave their once proud name to be used forever to designate the condition of slavery. Modern etymologists are in- clined to scout the idea that the word Slav came from the old Bulgarian n 'sava." which signified, glory" but in the case of another perverted word there is no dispute. That word is "Mameluke. |"
 In Turkey mamelulie was slave boy usually a Crcassian who did menial work In the household of the master About the year 120o great body of these slaves were sold by Jenghiz Khan to the ruler of Egypt In 30 years they had seized the government assassinated the monarch throne. Their government lasted until l5l7, when they were overthrown by Selim l., sultan of Turkey; but they con- tinued to be a power in the army until the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Mehemet Ali had them massacred, because no ruler could ever feel secure on his throne as long as the cavalry wing of his army was composed of mameukes Their very name had come to signify the masterful qualities that belong not to the slave, but to the conqueror

comment. on European struxrIe

ANU the close of years war the end of the European struggle seems even further away than was the case at the beginning remarked Zac smith, Jr, of Birmingham.
 Tt chanced that I was on the con tinent when the war began, but I hur- fled home with my party so as to avoid complications with hostile forces. Since that time l have naturally attempted 10 keep abreast of the situation as much as possible. I had visited Europe a number of times and am of course familiar with all the important cities and institutions to be seen by the tourist in foreign countries It is there iore with much regret that have read o1 the destruction of edifice after edi- lice of historic interest and of the lay- Ing waste of the fair fields of sunny France.
 4on the other hand, I have been somewhat astounded at the vigor with "hlch Germans have been able to push their gigantic drives in the face of tremendous obstacles. If only some anicable arrangement could be de- dded upon by the opposing interests all might yet be we'll but I fear this cannot be for sometime to come at least"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-05
Motorboats vs. Submarines

What is declared to be England S answer to the German submarine is an enormous fleet of motorboats which will constantly patrol the war zone about the British isles Each will be capable of making from 30 to 50 miles an hour and will be, equipped with two quick firing guns. It is said that within a few months several thousand motorboats will be in commission Orders have already been placed in the United States for 300 of them, on which work is far advanced. These sea wasps" will be from 50 to so feet in length over all. They will be driven by gas engines and the cost of their construction will be comparative ly low.
 The new foes of the undersea boats may prove quite formidable. Being small in size and having high speed, they will be practically immune from submarine attacks, as they do not pre- sent an easy target under any circum- stances and it would be impossible to hit one while going at high speed Another important factor in their favor, which the British admiralty doubtless reckoned on, is that a tor pedo costs about $S000, and it would be hardly worth while to launch an expensive missile of that sort merely to sink a motorboat. The ease with which the boats can be handled and the fact that they are also fitted with searchlights will enable them to guard the sea lanes with great thoroughness, and it is believed that screen of such craft formed about a liner will sue cessfully prevent it from being at. tackled.
 A submarine is compelled to come to the top after it has travelled for a certain distance under the water in order to recharge it's storage batteries by running oil or gasoline engines. This requires it to remain on the sur face about eight hours. A large fleet of armed and speedy motorboats pa trolling British waters will make it extremely hazardous for German sub marine to recharge storage batteries. And after the war the motorboats will not be discarded, as they will be used as fishing boats in the North sea-

The Weatherly Viaduct

At last the dangerous grade cross ings on First avenue at the Sloss fur naces have been eliminated. A via duct nearly half mile in length and of splendid construction spans the railroad tracks.
 At each end the approach is of easy grade and travel over the viaduct will not only mean safety, but it will be real luxury. And what time saver it will be!
 The people who live in the eastern end of the city, several miles from the central district, and whose daily occu- patton is "in town," can count to nicety on the street railway schedule, whereas allowance of many minutes had to be made for nerve-wearing waits at the crossings. With the com- pletion of the viaduct all property values are enhanced, and especially will property owners in Avondale, Woodlawn and East Lake be directly benefited
 This viaduct fittingly bears the name of Weatherly, for it was MT. Commissioner Weatherly who made 1t a live issue. After he had induced the railroads and the Sloss- Sheffield com pany to agree to share in the expense of the work without resorting to the courts, many engineering details, some of them perplexing, had to be studied. Innumerable conferences between MT. Weatherly and the representatives of the various interests concerned had to be held, all of which resulted in delay. But the viaduct commissioner never lost patience. He kept right on the job an\ when the formal dedica- tion of the viaduct takes place this afternoon the people of Birmingham will with one accord sound his praise.
 All the grade crossings must eventually go, and now that we have concrete evidence of what persever ance on the part of the city will do in this respect the time should not be very far distant when the traffic along every thoroughfare will be unimpeded by trains or switch engines.
 Let this 5th of August be some thing of a gala day, for few events could call for more enthusiastic cele- bration than the opening of the Weatherly viaduct
