THREATENED STRIKE is
OF INTEREST TO THE CITY

Local railroad men are watching with
a great deal of interest the progress
of the threatening railroad strike. The
most of the local men say that they
do not expect that it will spread far
enough to take in the Maine Central
and are making not secret of the fact
that they sincerely hope that it will
not. The relations between the men
and the management on this road are
of the best and they do not want any
thing that will cause them to become
strained. The heads of all of the To-
cal committees have been called into
Portland to be ready for work when
the strike comes and to get things
lined up and be ready If it should
spread to this road. About the station
there is the same seriousness that
marked the days preceding the threat
ened strike of last fall and the tension
is evident everywhere.

BOWDOIN NOTES

The seasons compulsory gymnasium
ends this week and the Class of 1917
will not celebrate the end of their
four years physical training as classes
have in the past with horrible" par
ade and other orgies. Usually the SEN
iors make this big day, a sort of a
last stag get together before Ivy when
the ladies are present: but as the cele-
bration two years ago ended in pro-
baton for the entire class. the custom
was passed by last year, and will
probably not be revived again since
the present senior class has voted
against it.
Competition among the members of
the debating league to which Bowdoin
belongs, including Hamilton College,
Wesleyan University, and Bowdoin, is
certain to be usually keen this year
The first agreement between these
three institutions. which expired three
years ago. was for two years. While
it continued. no member of the league
secured any advantage over the others.
The present agreement, for three years,
expires with this contest. To date Of
the four contests in which each has
participated Hamilton has won three,
Bowdoin two, and Wesleyan one. The
subject for the coming debate between
Bowdoin and Hamilton viii be on the
question whether the United States
could better protect the Western Hem
isphere by an understanding with
Great Britain or by the policy known
as the Monroe Doctrine
BY an organized canvass for funds
for the Maine State Ambulance Fund
of which Dean Kenneth G.. NJ. Stills is
treasurer. the sum of about 1925 was
raised and added to the fund at hand.
I'm some of the fraternities the contri-
button amounted to 81 man. an I'M
usually good average. With this
amount added to the fund the sum
required for a second ambulance Is
nearly complete. Each ambulance
costs $1,000 and is to be marked
Maine State Ambulance" as the funds
are being collected from people all over
the State. All receipts now will go to-
wards third Maine ambulance.
