OLD TOWN AND ORONO
TUBERCULOSIS CAMPS

Old Town. Me, July 1s.-The summer
cay camps. conducted every year by
the Old Town and Orono Anti-Tuber-
culosis Associations, will open tent
doors TO the little people Of the two
places jointly this year instead Of hav-
ing them under separate heads, thus
simplifying the work and making gem
eral supervision much easier for the
visiting nurse, Miss Margaret Hughes,
under whom this work was instituted
and has been carried on. The place OF
the camp will he the same as occupied
by the Old Town day camp last year,
near the high school building. being
very accessible from both places.
BY thus joining forces it will be pos
Kible to maintain two women in charge
instead of one at each camp, while
Miss Hughes will be able to give more
of her attention to the regular work of
visiting cases of illness and at the
same time give more time to the unit
ed camp than she was formerly able to
give to either one separately.

TEXAS COMPANY
MAN IS SHOCKED

Bath, July 1S.-Early this morning
Stephen Hurlack, an employee of the
Texas Steamship Co., was given some
surprise while going along Washing
ton street. near the corner of Pearl
street. He was swinging his dinner
pail which came in contact with the
end of a broken wire of the Bath &
Brunswick Light & Power Co. and
the next instant was knocked uncon-
scious to the ground, but he quickly
recovered. The wire had broken dur
ms the thunder shower during the
night and was about 1000 voltage.
Fortunately for Mr.. Hurlack, 1T was
grounded. The end was curlcd up. The
sidewalk in the vicinity was torn up for
the new granolithic walks. Mr.. Hur-
lack was walking on the roadway near
the walk. County Attorney Brigham,
who was awakened during the thunder
shower, got UP to close the windows in
his house about 3 o'clock. and at that
time witnessed the breaking of the wire
as there was a brilliant illumination OF
the street. Hurlack was reported all
right this afternoon. The wire. one of
the new main wires for the Texas
Steamship Co, has been repaired

Bangor, Me. July 1s.-Few, If any. Pc
nobscot river salmon are left in the mar
kets Of Bangor. and when these are sold
the supply of the Penobscot's far famed
and delicious fyh will be exhausted Those
who are at all acquainted with the fish
and game laws of the State will know
that this is not because there is sud
den shortage in that species of the finny
tribe, nor that they now no longer will he
caught in the many weirs along the old
Penobscot. nor that they refuse now to
take the tempting bait of the sportsman
or fisherman. but is because the close
time has been on by law since July Is.
and will remain tight during the next
year.

QUARTERMASTERS BUSY
Abundant Food Supply at French
Camps

American Training Camp in France,
July 1S.-(By The Associated Press)-
The busiest of all the American troop
departments these days is the quarter
masters which is working almost few
erishly to perfect it's system of supply
ing the men with all the necessaries.
The work has gone ahead so fast that
the quartermaster already has a three
months supply of food within a short
distance of the camp and a constant ten
days supply here
The troops are still eating the dark
French bread. but within three days
bakeries will have been established and
the rations will change to white bread
with heavy crust. that makes it trans
portable and durable. She American
army will then be the only one in Eur
ope eating white bread.
1t is today the biggest meat consumer
as the men receive a ration of 90 ounces
daily. The American soldiers are now
living on the so-called field ration When
the supplies all arrive there will also be
tutter which will be distributed as an ex
ira on special occasion.
The entire plan OF the quartermasters
department Is TO De enIiTeIy independent
OF the French at the earliest date possible
as to be no burden either to the gov
eminent or the population The depart
nent is still trying to decide what to do
with the gift made by the French gov
eminent to the American troops in honor
of July "A, the French national holiday,
consisting Of champagne, red wines. jel-
les, ham ard other delicaces. There is
a considerable. quantity of champagne
and red wine for each soldier and officer.
but for the present the authorities have
not been able to decide whether the dis
tribution of these wines would be in vo-
lation OF the spirit Of the recent legisla-
ton covering the serving OF liquor to SOL
diers
So far. the troops have been rigidly
held to water. even though the difficulties
Of altering are considerable.
The first death occurred at the camp
yesterday. when Private Nolan of the in
fantry was drowned.

military Importance is indicate in a let

William NJ. Ingraham to Senator Fred

Governor Carl f. Milliken of Maine. Mr.
1ngraham submits statements by the dis

ing the importance of these roads.
1T is recommended" says Mn Ingra-

military point of view than the completion
of other roads which have heretofore
been recommended for completion by the
war department"

precedent FOR
DEALING With
DRAFT ATTACKS

New York, July 1s-In excluding The
Masses from the mails. the East estab-
lishea a precedent for dealing with sheets
provided the courts uphold the action in
the test case. Assistant Prosecutor
Barnes SO said yesterday in connection
with an application by the owners of The
Masses for an order restraining the publ
cation to the mails.
1t came out that the order originated
on July with w. H. Lamar. sol. citor for
the postoffice department, and took effect
without any hearing or any preliminary
notice to the publisher of the accused
magazine. The order was passed under
section Of the espionage act, passed in
June.
Gilbert E. Roe, counsel for The Masses,
asked for a prompt hearing. saying the
delay was causing a loss of 800 day and
soon would ruin the publishers. He urged
that the government be compelled to In
dictate what articles and cartoons were
Objectionable
Asked by Judge A. n Hand to
specify the objectionable matter. Mr.
Barnes said he would rather not I'M
til formal hearing which he asked
be postponed. Mr.. Roe said the maya
zine had been on sale at the news
stands since July 10 without objec-
tons by tho authorities
IF it is fit for sale on the street,
why is it unfit for the mails?" he
asked. The prosecutor said he wanted
time to go over previous issues in a
search for continued intent to violate
the law.
What you are trying to top" said
Judge Hand, lis this particular issue
Of the ma gazine. Intent is of no con-
seqeuce if the act is not unlawful. If
anyt hing in this number is in viola
ton of the law. it has been published
wilfully and therefore deliberately. 1t

Mr.. Barnes replied that single
word under a cartoon. meaningless to
casual reader. might have a differ
ent significance to a constant sub
scriber.
Yes, that Is true assented the
judge. as he postponed the hearing
to Saturday morning.

Owing to the increasing number OF
DIRECTORS to military service in Hol-

the Netherland Parliament whethe,
those who have conscientious objec-
tons could not be exempted from mill
tary service and be put to compulsory
civilian service. The minister for war
Major General \. Bosboom, has so far
declined to commit himself to definite
announcement on the subject. but ap-
parently strong body of public opin-
