Something to Take Place

Bangor-With hams at present
prices even a rich corporation like the
Great Northern Paper company cannot
AFFORD to feed bears on that sort Of
fodder, and so 1t was a distinct relief
to the boss of the company's camp on
Elm stream, nine miles from SeeboO-
nook Falls, when the camp timekeep-
er, Raymond Dyer of Bangor, acted.
In the camp on Elm stream was a
barrel Of smoked hams. September %
the barrel was full. The morning Of
October L the barrel was hamless, the
cook found. Tracks of young bear
were around the building.
Dyer set a trap. Tuesday morning
mt three O'Clock the crew were aroused
by q tremendous grunting and thrash
dng. The ham thief was In the trap,
2at, furry and furious, securely pinched
by his right fore paw. A logger
smashed the bears skull with an ak.
The men ate some of the bear meat
and Dyer got the skin, which he sold
for a good price In Bangor, and also
collected the state bounty. S., from

POISON GAS NOT CHLORINE
Substance Alone Could Never Cause
Agony and internal Injuries Re-
ported From France.

Pittsburgh, Pa.--Chlorine is not the
substance from which poison gases is
made on the European battlefronts, ac-
cording to a paper read before the
American Electrochemical society con-
vention by William D. Marshall, del
egate.
During the first year Of the war :
Mr.. Marshal said, reports from
sbroad frequently reached this side
TO the effect that chlorine was used
10 the form of gas attacks, releasing
1t from cylinders. or containers,
against the position Of the enemy. My
own experience with chlorine, as well
as what / have heard from others on
the subject, leads me to believe that 1t
alone could never have caused such
agony and internal injuries as were de-
seribed, because In my practice | have
never seen nor heard of anybody per-
manentiy injured by inhaling chlorine,
although the temporary inconvenience
and pain caused by 1t seemed at times
gather serious"
Rather than perform deadly mis-
mlen Mr. Marshall said that chlorine
had lent itself for war purposes in
sanitation, sterilization OF wounds, etc.

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters.--The American officers are be-
coming top-notch golfers. Only a hand
fui of them played the game back In
hhe states" but now every destroyer
numbers three or four devotees Of the
sport. The season is now in full swing,
and almost any fair day groups may

Americans not only have revived the
game In these parts. but so many OF
them have taken up golf that they have
put the local club on paying basis
and generally made themselves popular
with the residents.
4 When the Americans arrived the
links, which are on the top of the cliffs
overlooking the sea, were somewhat
neglected, but they have now been put
anto nrst-class condition, the grass has
been cut and the green's have been
rolled as never before. Caddies have
been attracted from distant parts, en-
couxaged by the generosity of the
Americans, whose tips are much
sought after.
The clubhouse is most picturesque

Outlines an old native member OF
the club will drop In to regale the
Americans with tales OF the clubhouse
or anecdotes of the game. A native
who gave up making golf sticks and
bags has returned to his profession
since the Yankee INVASION" and he
gives up his spare moments to teach
Ing the American beginners the fine
points of the game.
The course Is a nine-hole affair with
plenty Of hazards. but the Americans
can play on an 19-hoie course by vis-
iting another links some five miles
