AVIATION OR
TRAINING FIELD

The announcement that Maine would
undoubtedly have one of the training
fields Of the new army has started the
talk about the Benton Flats field
again, and the same arguments that
were advanced for it as regard its
value as an aviation field can be re-
peated as 10 it's value as training
camp for soldiers. There is everything
to II commend it. 1t is just far enough
from town to be away from everything.
1t is near enough to the Tailro2d so
that there would be no trouble about
supplies, in fact the Benton and d'air-
field -t ad runs right beside it and this
r, ad il equipped to handle regular
f. lci-lt ca $ al q docs so at frequent in
tervais in handling the products of the
mills. There is plenty of good drink
ing water. 1t would be a simple and
Inexpensive matter to have plenty of
water piped to the grounds for the
mains Cf the Kennehec Water District
are very close to the field: there is
within easy marching distance every
kind aud shape of terrain that would
be encountered in the battles on the
other side, in fact there is everything
that is needful for the training of SOL
diers there, and in the opinion of some
people who should know something
about it there is not a place in the
whole state that could be made ready
with less work. Then again it is in
the center of the state in a place that
is as clean as any place on earth and
ideal for such a camp.

NO CLUE FOUND
ABOUT EXPLOSION

No developments were reported on
Monday regarding the explosion on
the Maine Central tracks near the
overhead bridge. 1t is reported that
the investigators have been unable to
find clue to work on and that there
is small chance Of anyone being dis
covered. In the opinion Of the most
Of the people Of the city it was plan
to make 1t appear that the strikers
did the job and thus throw sympa-
thy against them and it was done so
clumsily that no one was fooled.
On the same night that the dynamite
was exploded the new Batchelder flour
mills were broken into but not much
was secured according to report. The
man or men obtained admission to the
mill by climbing up a freight car
which was on the siding at the mill
ard going in the upper window. 1t is
also reported that there Is no clue to
the cne who made the break there, al
though one man who should know said
that it was very evidently the work Of
men who knew nothing about the city,
or what the large structure there was
for.

The first day Of the new schedule on
the Maine Central resulted in a gen
eral mixup in the running time of the
road. Almost all of the trains We're
behind time and they were all very
heavy. The most tardy one was train
No. II. due here at 3.15 which was
about an hour late. 1t was a very
heavy train and as it had to make all
the stops considerable time was lost
The most of the other trains were but
few minutes late. the Skowhegan
train which is due here at sos and
which is supposed to connect with the
two express trains did not arrive until
$50 and as a result the people who
were planning on getting the train 60
ing west had a chance to wait from
two to six or seven hours, depending
on where they were going. The cause
Of this delay was the special which
went up with the Knights Templars
and some delay on the freight train.
Railroad men expected that the trains
would be Strengthened out in a day or
two and would be on time as usual.

all possible to avoid striking him, but
was unable to do any good and he went
