WILSON AT WORK
ON DEFENSE PLANS
Daniels Proposals for Improving
Navy Are Received

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1S.-Pre-
urinary work on his plans for
strengthening the national defenses
was begun by President Wilson i'm
nediately after his return yesterday
from Cornish, n. II. Secretary
Daniels gave the president the gen.
cral proposals for improving the navy
and arrangements were made for an
carly conference with Secretary Gar
lison regarding the army.
It was said at the White House
that the president would take steps as
soon as possible for securing the ma
terial necessary to present COM
piete and comprehensive plan to con-
gress In December. He already has
decided that the defenses of the
ms ton should be strengthened and
will determine upon details after
conferences with the heads Of the war
and navy departments and the chair
man of the military and naval affairs
committee of the senate and house.
Then he will take up the question of
providing the money necessary for the
expected increased expenditures

sequentlN it has been a source of some
worry to the local men interested III
getting the factory here to find some
means Of providing places for the
workmen to live, should the directors
be willing to accept the factory prop
osition.
1t means a great deal to the town
and the public spirited citizens who
are willing to make personal sacrifices
to get the plant here should receive
at least the encouragement of the
townspeople. They deserve it for their
efforts and the residents will undoubt-
eddy rally to their support
Wants Order Rescinded
Stephen Perlusietter of Whiting
street called on Probate Judge Bying-
ton last evening to request the rescind-
ing of the order committing his wife
to the Connecticut Hospital for Insane
at Middletown. The man believes his
wifes condition is SO much improved
that she should be kept out of the asy-
lum and he wants to send her to tho
home of her brother in New York in
the hope that a change of environment
might cure her.
Papers for the womans commit
ment were issued on the application
of First Selectman w. ]. johnson and
Perlusietter was advised to put his
case in the hands of that official,
The woman is a state charge and the
authorities are willing to have her
taken care of by relatives providing
she is not brought back here. Her
husbands proposition would mean a
saving to the town and state and it is
likely that it will be accepted.
Compensation for Parents.
Relatives of Jeremiah Askin, who
died some time ago from injuries re-
ceived while at work in the plant OF
have retained Attorney Joseph F. Dut-
ton to press a claim for compensation
on the strength of their declaration
that the unfortunate young man wss
the means of support to his parents,
who live in Ireland. The fact that tho
beneficiaries are not residents Of this
country makes the case complicated
and it is said that the insurance COM
panies will contest the claim when 1t
is formally made before Commi~- '-"~r

With the time for party caucuses in

est among the voters is keen as to
who will be candidates for the offices

Berlin have been in chaotic con-
dition for nearly year and is was
only at the last adjourned meeting
about fortnight ago that there ap-
peared q possibility of an early adj
justment. ......
It is practically certain that the
next few weeks will see in this town
a. board of estimate and apportion-
ment A special committee now has
this matter in hand and it is expect
ed that with the beginning of new
fiscal year the board will assume it's
duties.
Meanwhile the political pot is SIM

Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.. Fitzsimons, as

Two More Straws
(Bangor NeWs)


On Friday the Portland Express
printed q statement to the effect that
Hon. F. H. Parkhurst is soon to re-
sign as chairman Of the Republican
state committee that he may become a
candidate for governor in 1916. AL
though interesting as bit of political
gossip, this is as yet without signifi-
canoe or value as news, Colonel Park
hurst having made no statement and
given no intimation OF his intentions.
Like many other phases of the politi-
cal situation in Maine, the matter is
at present undecided. although 1t ia
likely that a definite announcement
one way or The other, will be made
soon.
Ex-Governor Bert N. Fernald Of
Poland made flying visit to Bangor
on Saturday to confer with Oscar F..
Fellows on matters of business, leav-
ing i'll the o'clock train Sunday
morning ON his return. While not vet
officially announced, 1t is positively
stated by his closest friends that Mr..
Fernald will be candidate for United
States senator in 1916, Ex-Governor
Cobb of Rockland having declined to
te considered as candidate for that
nigh Office. It is understood that Mr.
Fernald has had the matter in mind
for some time and since the retirement
or MI Cobb he has begun to lay his
ptans Tor the nomination.
