ganiZations affected and President Thay-

time in order that. they may report at a
later meeting. The following resolutions
were adopted: Whereas Switzerland has
recently shown the great efficiency of her
system Of citizen military education and
training by mobilizing on her frontiers in
IS hours trained force of 10 per cent. of
her total population, and whereas we BE-
lieve the adoption of such a system by
this country. giving us 100000 trained
men Immediately available in an emer-
gency, would render us invincible in
event of an attack, and whereas, we feel
confident such system would insure us
against attack. and whereas such sys-
tenn would unquestionably add materially
to the efficiency of the country in time
of peace by its training and improvement
of our boys and young men. Resolved:
Therefore, that the Waterville branch of
the Maine League for National Defence
strongly endorses the Swiss system of the
citizen military instruction and training,
earnestly recommends it's immediate
adoption by the State of Maine, and re-
quests the governor of Maine to appoint
a commission at once to take the matter
up."

IS YEARS
HOOD RUBBER CO.
Wins DECISION

Roston. Jan. 1.-THE Hood Rubber Co,
which 13 wears ago instituted proceed
;nes under the Sherman law against the
United States Rubber Co. alleging that
the latter had secured an illegal monop-
DIV of trade in lasts. was declared by
.Judre Morton in the United States dis
trict court today to have cause for action
and a demurrer filed by the defendant
company was overruled. The Hood coni-
nanv seeks triple damages, amounting to
sos, 600.
The original bill of the Hood company
also was directed against six last manu-
featuring concerns, it being alleged that
illegal agreements had been made be-
tween the United States Co. and these
companies as a result of which the HOOD
company was unable to secure suitable
lasts for use in it's business The court,
however. dismissed the suit as against
these defendants on the ground that it
had been shown that the contracts with
these concerns had been made indepen-
IDENTIFY and without any general agree
ment and were therefore legal. The last
manufacturers in question were E. d.
Stone, birmingham: Augustus A. Delano,
Brockton: Matilda F. Corey. Brockton
