The meeting of the Waterville Chamber
of Commerce which was held Wednesday
evening to consider the question of good
roads was largely attended and a great
deal OF interest was manifested in the
subject. The attendance was not by any
means confined to automobile owners and
there was considerable discussion, as to
what should be done. The meeting was
opened by President Patterson. who stat
ed that it was called TO see what could
be done about better roads in the city
and leading into it. He said that the
good roads money of the State was in
the hands of politicians and that they
were using it to put in a patch here and
another there and as a result no one was
getting any good out of it, and that he
thought that something should be done
so that the present generation could
realize that Maine was to have some

NAVAL MILITIA
START CRUISE
WITHOUT CUM

Portland. Me-, Aug. 2.-Chewins
gum is not tolerated on board Uncle
Sans sea fighters and this fact was
impressed on the minds of about 20
of the 80 Maine Naval Militia when
they stepped on the deck of the Z.
battleship kearsarge this morning
which came here for the purpose Of
taking them on the annual cruise
along with over 200 members Of the
Massachusetts militia.
AS the boats brought the Maine
boys down the harbor the greater
number were chewing gum as though
it were part Of a sailors life on the
briny deep. They kept right on chew
ing as they climbed up the gang
way, but when they had placed their
feet on deck the chewing ceased be-
cause officers of the ship promptly
said nine words-"Throw that gum
over the side of the ship"
The guilds of gum disappeared over
the rail and then the Maine boys had
really started on their life as real
sailors in Uncle Sans navy.

Charles F. Smith has flock Of Regal
White Wyandotte chickens of which he
feels that he can be justly proud. These
birds were Matched April H. 1916. and at
the age of three months and II days had
attained the weight of five pounds. Out
side of the remarkable growth they have
the true characteristics of the White wy
andottes. They have the beautiful body
type with the snow white plumage and
bright yellow legs. These birds have
been fed the same rations and received
the same attention as a flock of Rhode
Island Reds, with the result that the
White Wyandottes have grown over one
third faster, and reached the soft roast
ing weight weeks ahead of the Reds.

Paul Koenig, master of the vessel. At
his side stood the pilot.
Soon after midnight the seas be-
came Stili heavier. Under the glare
of searchlights it was seen that waves
were breaking over the bow Of the
vessel and washing the entire forward
Fart. Occasionally the coming tower
and the light on the periscope would
be enveloped in shower Of salt
spray.
At half past one this morning, while
RAISING Solomon's Island. the last Of
the vessels with searchlights was
passed. BY that time all the members
Of the crew except two had disap-
peared from the deck.
One Of these men was standing well
forward, lead line for sounding in his
hand, and the other was at the stern.
Captain Koenig still was in the coming
tower CARRIED in slickers.
AS the Timmins came alongside the
press boat at distance Of perhaps 100
feet and with the Deutschland moving
slowly close to her starboard side, Cap
tain Hnsch Of the German war-bound
steamer Neckar, who had charge Of the
clearing of the Deutschland, shouted
through megaphone:
"Who is that"
Upon being advised that it was a news
paper boat he shouted this information
to the Deutschland and then both YES
sells put on speed. moving ahead rapidly.
Sailors of the Deutschland paid no at
tention to salutes from the newspaper
boat. They gazed at her silently for a
while and then began putting on their
blue uniform coats.
The Deutschland was displaying red
and green lights set flush on the two
sides Of her coming tower. AS she pass
ed the newspaper boat she put out these
lights.
The Timn1ins then moved over to the
port side of the channel. about $50 feet
from the Deutschland. and they contin-
ued in these relative positions for con.
siderable distance down the bay.

Easement did everything possible to as
sist this rebellion in cooperation with
the Germans. There can be no doubt
that he was moved by enmity for this
country.
THE contention that he landed in Ire
land for the purpose of preventing the re-
bellion is demonstrably false. No such
assertion was made by counsel at the
trial
Easement was much more malienant
and hostile to this country than were the
leaders Of the rising who were caught
with arms in their hands. He visited
military prisons in Germany with the in
throw off their allegiance. All sorts of
promises were made for the improvement
of the condition of these men to induce
them to join an Irish legion. An enor-
nous majority thus approached refused
and thereafter were subjected to increas-
ed hardships by the Germans
From among these Irish soldiers a
number has since been reported as hope.
less invalids and they subsequently died.
They looked upon Easement as their muir
derer.
"Nor is there any ground, publicly or
private, so far as we know, which can
be quoted In mitigation Of Easements
crime. and I do not think any govern
ment doing its duty could interfere with
the sentence which has been passed on
him"

velopments in the controversy between
225 railway systems and their 4OO, 900

received from the Chamber of Com

Harry A. Wheeler. chairman Of the

claring strike is inevitable unless
some strong measures of Intervention

Of the papers she would have been
there before this After she was taken
10 the police station she sat in a chair
in the womans room and did not seem
in the least affected by what she had
cone.
Her father was looking for her in
the morning and was at the Water
vile City farm making inquiries when
he saw the girl go by in the automo-
bile with the officers. He followed them
and was at the bridge when she told
her story He came back to Waterville
ard as the girl said she had not been
to breakfast went out and got her
some, being given every chance to at
tend to her comfort by the Waterville
officers.
The girl has been in the hands of the
Wateryle officers before as several
weeks ago she left home in company
with young man and came to this
city. The officers were notified to be on
the lookout for them and they We're
taken in charge by Patrolman Cum
nngham on Front street. At that time
she was held in the marsha's office
and her father came for her and took
her home The young man did not re-
turn TO the Center and Mr.. Strickland
says that as far as he knows she has
not seen him since that night. This
young man was not the father of the
child the man who was responsible for
that having disappeared before the
officers were able to get hold of him.
The case, the first Of the kind in the
city for long time, attracted a great
deal Of attention Wednesday and many
expressions of sympathy for the girl
and for her parents were heard on the
streets. The further disposition of the
case Is in the hands of the county at
lorAey but it was the opinion of the
ollcers here that he would make ar
!angements to have her committed to
Inc State Home for Feeble Minded as
all were agreed that she was not re-
sponslble for her acts.
