SAYS THE ALLIES
DAILY GROW STRONGER
Interesting Letter from Former
Sanford, Me-, Man, Now with
Italian Army-Praises British
Soldiers-Verdun One of His
tOry's Battles-FOrecasts Vic
tory for Allies-Look for
Word from Salonika and Va
Iona.

The following interesting letter from
Italian army is published by the San
ford Tribune:
Via Balliano 2,
Cassales Monferrato, Italy.
March 90 1916.
Dear Mr.. Allen:
/ have mentioned to you in my last
letter the probability of being called to
service. and strange to say only four
days after writing that letter. was
ordered to join my regiment at Torino.
We are the oldest soldiers in Italy
now (40 years old and it appears we
shall only do territorial service at pres
ent while If the war lasts much longer
surely older people will be called, as
the Central Empires have already into
service men from 10 to As and so years
of age.
1 am taking the liberty Of sending
herewith my photo just taken and
wonder if you will recognize me in such
unusual dress. We have been very
busy for several weeks, getting ready to
go somewhere. Fortunately I am not
very far from Cassales Monferrato, so
my wife and children.
The attention of all the world Is now
conferred round Verdun, which will GER
tainly be big name with the future
written history Of the Great War From
the very beginning 6 weeks ago) Of
the great German attack on Verdun I
was perfectly sure that the Germans
could never get through the French
lines, and also that the Germans would
suffer enormous losses Cup to now over
10000 mem, so that I was right when
I wrote to you several months ago
that whoever tried to attack on the
occidental theatre Of war would have
to stand such terrible losses as to
bring the starter to the edge Of ruin.
I am glad to say that since 1 wrote
to you splendid arrangements have
been made and are daily made by the
Allies for working more and more to-
gether, so that 1t is now easy to say
! that II Germany did not win when the
Allies were only such by name, she will
surely lose as soon as all the tremen-
dous preparations by England. France,
Italy, Russia, etc, will terminate and
give an enormous superiority Of men
and ammunition to the Allies. Eng
land is getting terribly strong with her
millions Of new men, who will be ready
in q few weeks to be sent wherever
needed, and Italy, too, has at present
under arms, a splendidly equipped
army.
| We shall soon hear some good news
from the Allies at Salonika and from
the Italians and Servians at Valona we
shall then hear that the Balkan ques-
ton is once more the chief point Of the
struggle, as by that time we shall have
some great changes there. that is, the
probable declaration Of war to Austria
by Roumania, which might be followed

USE OF TREATED
WOODEN BLOCK FLOOR
ING IS ADVOCATED

Creosoted wood blocks, already extern
sively used as paving material for city
streets, have been coming into use as
flooring for the last four or five years,
according to the United States Forest
Service. It's durability, noiselessness I'M
der heavy traffic. and sanitary properties
are its chief advantages for paving and
also give it special value for making
floors, especially for use where heavy
trucking. the moving Of heavy machinery
or other severe use makes the mainte-
nance of floors a serious problem. It's
rather high cost Is its chief disadvantage
Wood block Is now widely used for
flooring in factories. warehouses, machine
shops. foundries. various types of plat
forms, wharves, and docks, and for such
miscellaneous purposes as hotel kitchens,
hospitals. laundries. and slaughter
houses. Possibly one Of the oldest of
these uses is for the floors of wild ami
NAL cages and runways. Notwithstanding
the recent increase in the use of wood
block for these purposes, it Is believed
that the growth of this industry will be
even more rapid on the future These
floors are well liked by the workmen be-
| cause they are easy on the feet.
Most of the blocks for these floors are
now made Of southern yellow pine Hem
lock. larch, Douglas fir, black gum,
beech and maple are also used The
blocks are sawed from long sticks Of
timber and are treated in huge steel
cylinders from to feet in diameter and
100 feet or more in length. Creosote oil is
run into the cylinders and pressure is
then applied to force it into the wood.
/ The oil is product obtained in the
| manufacture of coke from coal and its
purpose is to prevent decay of the wood,
and also to prevent shrinking and SWELL
ing of the floor after it is laid
The blocks are laid with the grain YER
tical, SO that the most wear-resstant sur
face is exposed. and usually on a concrete
foundation. The Joints or cracks between
the blocks are then filed with hot paving
| pitch or asphalt which binds the many
separate pieces into one continuous sur
face. According to the experts, the cost
of creosoted wood-block floors averages
about $50 per square yard for the blocks
alone and about $40 per square yard for
the completed floor.
| For best results these floors should he
laid under competent supervision, for IN.
less certain fundamental rules are fol-
lowed trouble is very liable to ensue.
Most OF the trouble is caused by the
swelling or the shrinking Of the wood,
due to changes in content Of moisture.
difficulties which may be guarded against
however. by carefully following the most
| approved methods.

present it seems that Bulgaria and

Maine waters. Brown trout weighing
IA pounds and over have been taken

to land the big fish.
