THE THORNABY
REPORTED sunk
WITH HER Crew

London, March /, 1850 p M.-The
British steamship Thornaby is report
led to have been sunk. all the members
of the crew having been killed or
drowned.
The Thornaby was owned in West
Hartlepool, Eng. Her gross tonnage
was 1882. She sailed on jan 10 from
Sunderland, Eng. for Palermo, Sicily.
Although the British censorship pre-
vents transmission of details concern
ing the reported sinking of the Thorn
ably, the reference to the members of
the crew having probably been killed
or drowned indicates she was sunk by
a mine or torpedo. The German and
Austrian DEGREES regarding the sinking
of armed merchantmen without warn
ing went into effect at midnight. The
rThornaby is the first vessel whose
,sinking has been reported since the
orders became operative, but the Lon

FIRST OF MARCH
IS SIGNIFICANT
FOR THE BRITISH

London, March 1.-The newspapers this
morning dwell on the fact that this is the
last day for voluntary enlistment in the
British army and that it is also the first
in what is called the new German sub
marine campaign. Large numbers of re-
cruits presented themselves during the
last few days at British recruiting offices
to escape the odium of being forcbly en-
rolled under the compulsion act, but it
is remarked that there has been no over
whelming rush of recruits.
With regard to the German submarine
campaign. newspaper editorials point out
that, while it involves no new principle
the Germans are unlikely to have made
the announcement with such wide pub
lcity unless they believe that they will
be able to make a wholesale onslaught
on shipping.
The new threat, accordingly is not made
the object of ridicule. and it is suggested
that Germany in all probability has been
producing new and more powerful subma-
rines. The editorials. however, agree in
declaring that an optimistic spirit should
be felt and that every confidence should
be placed in the power of the British
navy to cope with any new Developments
at sea-

certain thing that the fans will be on
hand in large numbers to help out. The
local five is going we'll this week in the
practice work and are more than ever
determined to have the big money of
the league. With only five more games
to pay and good lead it is only up to
the Waterville boys to keep up the gait
that they have been going to come out
the winner. The Augusta five has al
ways been more or less of a stumbling
block for the local boys and it will need
a large gallery of supporters to keep
them going in good shape. The game
will be started at about o'clock.

Questions Propriety of Chair
man Mcleod Appearing in
Favor of the Company

Boston. March 1.-Opposition to the Pc
Aition Of the New York. New Haven &
Hartford Railroad for permission to con-
tinue control Of its Sound steamship
anerce Commissions hearing today by
whitfield Tuck Of Winchester. former
representative in the Legislature. He ap-
peared In behalf of the Peoples Service
League, of which he is secretary, and ad-
vocated separation of the railroad from
it's steamship lines on the ground that
It would tend to do away with monopoly.
The witness questioned the propriety
of the appearance yesterday Of Chairman
Frederick J. Macleod Of the Public Ser.
vice Commission of this state in favor
Of continued railroad control of the
steamship properties. Such an attitude.
he said was not to be expected from a
man who few years ago was state
chairman of the Democratic party which
at it's last national convention had de-
clared monopoly "indefensble and untol-
cradle"
Should divorce of the steamship and
railroad properties of southern New Eng
land be required, Lucius II. kentfield
general freight agent of the New Haven
said that road undoubtedly would provide
an all-rail service to New York as good
as the present part-rail. part-water SER
vice.
ut is merely a matter of opinion the
witness said when asked by counsel for
the commission whether there were
grounds for the fear expressed by some
shippers that divorce would result in loss
Of transportation facilities.

MORE RAILROAD
RUMORS AFLOAT

Every day adds new rumor to what
is being done on the railroad relative
to the new bridge at Fairfield and the
extension to the yards here. The latest
is that not only is the yards here to
be extended but that another large ad-
dtion to the shops is to be constructed
in the spring. The shops here are run
ming full time now and are turning
out a large amount of work, but the
rumor that the Maine Central is to
take over the Bangor & Aroostook and
that the work Of the shops on that
road will be brought here will not
down. The shops here could handle
much more work than they now do,
but if the Bangor & Aroostook repairs
should be brought here there is no
question but what they would nave
to be enlarged.

EAST WINTHROP

The Thursday Club served one of
their excellent baked bean suppers
Thursday evening in the vestry. There
were about so present. After the sup
per. Mrs. West introduced Hon. w. j.
Thompson Of China, State Master Sf
the Grange, who gave an interesting
and instructive lecture on Govern
ment Ownership Of Public Utilities"
The lecture empha sized particularly
the proposed ownership by the govern
ment of the telephone and telegraph
system. Mr.. Thompson said that upon
hearing many advocates of this change
rates would be cheaper and service
better, but that the thinking, brainy
men knew that the results would be
far from satisfactory and would eff
feet this country in many ways-not
at first apparent. He then showed by
statistics that the countries in Europe
which have this government owner
ship of the telegraph and telephone
system give the people very poor SER
vice at a much higher rate than in the
United States. The United States is
held up by the whole world as an ex-
ample of nearly ideal telephone and
telegraph service. In England rural
telephones are almost unknown, while
in this country nearly every farm
home has it's telephone. In France
when one wishes to talk with a person
in another town he must be assigned,
special time, perhaps not until the
next day, then must keep the appoint
ment, or if he is late he loses his
chance and pays just the same. Mr.
Thompson also cited the case Of the
trial in Manitoba Of this government
ownership system. 1t has been a COM
plete failure. At the end Of three years
the government was losing money with
the prospect Of getting deeper and
deeper into debt. This change would
also mean such an added staff of gov
eminent employees that altogether too
much power would be given them and
on any important matter the vote
could be influenced by the government
officers and this great band of govern
ment employees to such an extent that
the power would be taken out of the
hands Of the people and placed in that
of the government officials and en-
ployees. Mr.. Thompson begged that
every right minded man would con-
slider well before he voted to favor any
such radical change as this. On the
whole the lecture was one which every
voter should hear and it would be we'll
if it could be repeated in every COM
munity. At Mrs. Vests suggestion a
rising vote of thanks was given Mr..
Thompson for his kindness in giving
an evening Of his valuable time to the
Thursday Club and for his instructive
talk.

The matter of appropriating a milk
inspector for Fairfield. as brought UP
before the last meeting of the Fair
field Board Of Trade in February has
meeting day. AS required by the law
every town with an inhabitance ex-
ceeding the 5000 mark should have as
one of its town officers milk inspec-
tor. Hon. Benjamin H. Lawrence
brought the question before the board
1t was finally voted, after considerable
discussion. to authorize the selectmen
of Fairfield to appoint a milk inspec-
tor. The term of this officer was tc
expire with that of the selectmen by
whom he was appointed. First Select
man Lafayette S. Bray, when asked
what action he had taken in regard to
the matter replied that the best plan
to him and which he would follow out
would be to allow the new board OF
selectmen to appoint the milk inspec-
tor. 1t was Mr.. Bray's opinion that IL
would hardly pay to appoint an inspec-
tor to serve for so short a time. barely
two weeks. The work Of this new town
officer will include the regular inspec-
ton at stated times of herds owned
by fully II milk dealers.
