MANY PRISONERS
FAIL T0WRITE HOME


(Associated Press Correspondence
Berlin, March 15-One Of the puz-
cling problems with which the Ger
man authorities in charge Of prisoners
of war have had to deal is the failure
of many Of, these prisoners to notify
their relatives of their whereabouts.
AS a consequence it is being discov-
cred constantly that men, particular
ly Englishmen, who are prisoners or
war or are in hospitals, have long
been given UP as dead.
To minimize the difficulty the Doe
beritz authorities have printed guam
titles of post cards which bear in big,
black type the words: My address is
Gefangenenlager Doeberitz. Deutsch-
land (Prison camp. Doeberitz, Ger
many. Every prisoner is encouraged
to write home so that his people may
know his whereabouts.

nue.. The attendance was large and the
meeting was a particularly interesting

lance which has just been formed, and
then Mrs. Elmer A. Sherman read some
interesting current events. Mrs. John
r. Dunton gave a very fine paper on
Oliver Wendell Holmes, which was CIV

mems Club. Mrs. Dunton, who is an ex-
tremely pleasing speaker, read from a
number of his poems and works, and
at the close of the paper was given a
rising vote of thanks. The Alliance does
not meet again until the first Thursday
in November, and the program for the

been very successful one and the out

Phi. D., at Western Reserve Univer-
sity. This woman owns 240 acres in
her ranch. She is now busy as treas
urer of the Woman's Suffrage Asso-
citation of her state in raising $4,000 to
get the woman the vote in Ohio, where
she is at present.
The present board Of selectmen
though the assessment Of the property
Of the town has not been completed, is
planning to make the tax rate at least
a little less of what it has been for
the past several years-22 mills on the
dollar. This, the members of the board
think, is possible by little change
in some Of the assessments; through
new property in the town; the reduc-
ton of the amount paid to paupers.
Then again, less money was appro Ri
ated for the town at the annual ma,,.-
ing by a few thousand dollars than
last year. 1t is hoped to bring the rate
down to 20 mills on the dollar.
This town is to have little expert
ence of the cluster light method of
street lighting. The Central Maine
Power Co. started crew Friday plac-
ing four poles on the south side of
Water street in the business section
preparatory to placing lights like
those used in Augusta Of 60 candle
power globes. 1t is expected eventually
that the entire business section will be
similarly lighted, the town now ilav-
ing under consideration contract
with the company for this system. The
al is iS
proving very unsatisfactory.
