soon will be increased to %.
Turning to new devices being WORKED

ICE SITUATION
is NOW SERIOUS

Whether or not there will be any ice
cut on the kennebec River this year is
a question that no man can answer as
it depends entirely upon the weather.
The prospect Of harvest however. is
good. as MANAGER L. c. Ballard of the
American Ice Company stated Wednes-
day, that the ice had left the Hudson
and the company planned to secure as
large a harvest as possible in Maine
filing the entire twenty houses to their
capacity Mr.. Ballard was unable to
state what portion Of a normal harvest
had been secured on the Hudson. Work
has already been done on several fields
on the kennebec in the way Of scraping
and clearing. The ice is of an unusual
ly fine quality. With few weeks OF
clear cold weather the old Kennebec
will show signs of old time activity in
the harvesting Of ice.

Favor Continental Pln-A Strauss Heard on mpor-
tant Munitions Subjects

Washington, Feb. 2-Members of the
National Guard Association continued
before the House military committee to-
day their vigorous opposition to any army
increase plan that would exclude the
state troops as soldiers of the first line,
while the naval committee heard expert
testimony as to guns, torpedoes,. mines
and other ordnance material from Rear
Admiral Strauss, chief Of ordnance.
Adjutant Generals Sadler Of New Jer-
sey and Dickson Of Illinois and former
AdJutant General Critchtield of Ohio tes-
tilted that there was virtually no senti-
ment among the Guardsmen in favor of
the continental army plan. They contend
ed that Congress had full power to ma
donalize the militia and that defects of
the system pointed out by regular army
officers could be cured.
Colonel Critchtield said four requisites
We're dequate-compensauon greater
held training, clarincation of the Presi-
dents authority over the National Guard
and regulation of military affairs in the
war department by omcers in sympathy
with the needs and wishes of the forces.
Gen. Dickson insisted that in any event
the states should retain the right to use
the militiamen in peace times.
