FIRE WARDEN
CHASES REPORT

f. Nj. Chase of Brownville. one of
the chief fire wardens for the Penob-
scot waters, in his annual report which
was filed at the office of Hon. Forrest
Fl. Colby, the State forestry commits
sioner, at the State House Tuesday
spoke as follows in part:
When the telephone line was con-
structed. it was put up with solid
bitches which is very bad in the woods.
for falling tree will surely break the
wire. | have taken mostly all of those
solid bitches off md put in their place
splits, and in consequence / have had
very few breaks in the line since that
time. When the line was put up they
would cut corners if the road happened
to be crooked. | found that it was
next to impossible to keen the wire
clear of bushes in those places, so took
it out into the trail where it could be
looked after. There is one more place
of this character that ought to be taken
out and put into the trail and which
|. would recommend doing another
year. We have had very fine line
and has never been out of order "A
hours at any time this year.

them good. | had the lookout men
clean up around their camps and fire
conditions are good around them. Al
though we have had no fires to fight
this season l feel that this district was
prepared to do so at any time.
There are one or two things | would
recommend which / think would make
this district complete. ! think that
Ragged Mountain ought to have a No.
Tower. | think that the State ought
to own the line TO West Seboeis and
Brownvile or make some arrangements
where by the present owners will keep
il in repair, so that service can be had.

never found any of my men mapping

mend their services for next season.

GERMANY EFFECT
.UALLY BLoCkADED

! London Nov. 29.-(Correspondence
Germany is now believed to be eff
4! fectually blockaded According to es-
| Inmates made here. she now is COM
pletely cut off from receiving imports
! from other than her allies owing to the
fact that the prevailing shortage of
food stuffs in neutral countries nearby
have made it necessary for them to
withhold from her any imports needed
by their own people.
Virtually nothing is now permitted
to go into Holland or the Scandinavian
countries from England, the United
States or any other of the Entente
countries. These now almost coutrol
, the whole worlds exports OF foodstuffs.
feeding stuffs and raw materials of
every kind
This stiffening up of the blockade is
attributed here TO the policy adopted by
the United States in July of withhold
ing its exports from neutral countries
near Germany except on terms under
which they must cease the export even
of their own produce to Germany
This principle was expressed in Lon
don in the phrase: I'VE will not send
sou "ilSdl VI lOuueT 10 enable YOU u
| export meat and butter to Germany
Until you agree to stop your eXpol Is
| to Germany we will send YOU nothing"
Americas memorandum to Norway
as published in that country says sub
stantially: The United States will re-
gard all export to the Central Powers
as d satisfaction from the food sup
plies or other necessarics which the
country concerned should expect to OBJ
tain for its own industries or support
1t can hardly be expected that the
United States will assist these cOun-
tries with necessaries if they continue
| to give help to the Central Powers"
Imports of oils and fats into Holland
and Scandinavian countries have de-
creased from an average of $4,000 tons
. a month before the war TO monthly
average of 1880 tons at present ac-
cording to figures made public here.
Imports Of cereal and fodder, formerly
$4,000 tons month. have decreased to
10000 month. Cotton imports have
! declined one-half since 1916 and i'm
| ports of hides and leather are now a
mere fraction of what they formerly
were. Copper imports have declined
almost to one-fifth their former pro-
! portions.
