ports of minor engagements are conflicting as
usual. A German raider has been playing
havoc with shipping in the South Atlantic.
Two small naval engagements have been fought
in the North Sea between British light cruisers
and torpedo boat destroyers and German de-
stroyers. resulting in the loss of destroyer
on each side. Unofficial advices from Holland
say that in the first engagement from two to
seven German ships were sunk and others
badly damaged. Greece having acceded to
the demands of the Allies it is reported that
they will soon begin an offensive in the Bal
kans. ."..

Legislative Notes.

At the hearing before the Governor and
Council in Augusta last Friday afternoon
Clarence Higgins said that he wished to
state to all parties interested that the appro-
priation for any and all of the State-aided in
stitutions that we're voted by the committee
on appropriations would be passed in full and
not discounted by Charities and Corrections.
The following Belfast institutions were repre-
sented at this hearing:
Children's Aid Society.
Representative H. C. Buzzell of Belfast
outlined the needs of this institution. asking
$l00 increase for salaries, making the appro-
priation $1,000 for each of the two years of
1917 and 1918
Home for Aged Women.
Representative Buzzell also spoke for the
Old Ladies' Home of Belfast, which asks an
appropriation to tide them over temporary
difficulties. 1t was established in 1894. Funds
were limited and but few old ladies' admitted.
They pay fee of 5000. if they can and some
can't, the fees being raised by subscription.
Six are now there. Two have died and several
are on the waiting list. Practically all have
used up the entire value of the $500 fee.
Miss Partridge stated that the Home had All
So 400 endowment fund well invested. bring
ing about per cent. The maintenance last
year cost $1.447, and the deficit was 1854 IS.
The matron has but S. per week.
Waldo County General Hospital.
Mr. Buzzell said the Waldo General ospital
asked for general appropr iation of $4,000 for
each of the years 1917 and 1918, with special
appropriation of $1,000 The institution has a
$1,000 mortgage on its property and it costs
yearly about $4,000 more to run the hospital
then is received from the patients. The pro-
perty needs repairs and the expense of running
the plant is constantly on the increase.
President Parker stated that the special
$4,000 was needed for stable. which would ac-
commodate piggery. to cost abodt $1,000; an
elevator to relieve Che nurses and others from
stair climbing to cost about $500; and $500 for
general repairs to the driveway.
Mr. Parker said they had only $1,000 endow-
ment fund. to be used for Palermo people.
Superintendent Miss Valentine said they had
in 1916 3s46 paid days treatment. with about
1900 free days treatment and "a days given by
the student nurses going out. All patients
were accepted, and if they could not pay all.
the balance was charged to profit and loss.
Patients do not pay enough to pay their cost
Cost IF maintenance is increasing and the re-
suits of the soliciting and gifts are not.
DR.. Adelbert Millett said that all cases were
taken except contagious. for which they had
no conveniences. All physicians in good stand
ing have had the same privileges as the staff
and they can take their private patients there
same as the staff.
