WAR BOUND GERMAN
CRAFT BADLY DAMAGED
VIII Take over Six Months to Make
Some of Them SeawOrthy
Again.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Every
one of II war bound German mer-
chant ships examined by American
officials at Philippine ports since the
break with Germany has been so
badly damaged by her crew that six
months or more would be required
to make any Of them seaworthy. An
official report Tuesday said that of
the % vessels tied up in the islands,
all but six had been inspected. and
some had been found which could
not be put into condition without a
large expenditure of time and
money.
So widespread has been the con
certed disabling OF German ships in
American ports that some officials
think it could be explained only by
a blanket order from Berlin. II is
suggested that such instructions
might have gone forward early in
the war or might even have been
issued as a standing order before
the war to cover such an exigency
as now has arisen. There has been
70 indication, however, that the
American government had au-
thentic information on the subject.

A night policeman has long been

men have responded to this call and
secured the services of Fred J. Lord
Mr.. Lord goes about his duties in a
quiet, business-like manner and no
one will have occasion to get a
"quietus" from him if he keeps
moving and attends strictly to his
own business.
This village is practically an all
night business place. Restaurants
are open all night, the hotels and
Y. M. G. A., and workmen are going
to and from their work at all hours.
Like all villages crowds are wont to
gather on the street corners and it is
not pleasant for ladies to travel the
streets in the evening. This should
not be so. and this move on the part
of the selectmen is commendable and
approved by all who have the best
! interests of the village at heart.

MAY DANCE
Court Island Pond FOresters
Give Social Dance-A Large
Attendance and General Good
Time.

The May dance in the opera house
Tuesday evening given by Court
Island Pond Foresters was enjoyed
by a large company. This is an an
nual event of the order. Prepara-
tions have been under way for some
time and the ladies of the Court are
to be congratulated on its success.
The stage was prettily trimmed
with flags and streamers of the ma
tional colors with the shield of the
United States forming row on the
front. Printed portraits of President
Wilson were placed on both sides of
the stage, decorated with the Stars
and Stripes and presented a charm
ing appearance.
Dupile's orchestra of Berlin N H.,
with Miss Marion Maroney, pianist,
furnished excellent music for the
concert and dance. A patriotic song
was rendered by Isabelle, Gerard
Irene and Oliver Castonguay, which
captured the audience and was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.

marches and formations used in their
floor work that was greatly enjoyed.
The ladies showed thorough drilling
and performed the different move
ments with a precision and snap
characteristic of best drilled military
companies. At the close of their
drill they formed a circle about a
pedestal upon which stood the lad,
Oliver Castonguay, dressed to repre-
sentY YoungAmerica while the hall was
darkened and colored lights burned
the guards and audience singing
America. The effect was touching
and stirred the patriotic sentiment
of all present. Miss Zena Mckee
played a march on the piano while
the guards were drilling, her execu-
tion being splendid for a lass of her
age. Members of the guard of hon.
or taking part in this drill were;
Mrs. Agnes Giroux, captain; Mrs.
Inga McWain, standard bearer; Mrs,
Alsada Henry, Mrs. Alvine Bonneau,
Miss Corrinne Savard, Mrs. Della

Annis, Mrs. Edna Stevens, Mrs. Es.
ther Moffitt, Miss Elsie Finnegan,
Mrs. Emily E. Lacroix, mistress Of
the Guard.
After the drill dancing was in or
der, the grand march being led by

the ice cream booth. The apron
table was in charge of Mrs. G. AL
drich, Mrs. Irwin Curtis and Mrs
