Will Serve Two More Years as State
Bank Commissioner.

State Bank Commissioner J. Dukes
Downes, whose term expires in a few
days, yesterday was reelected by the
Board of Public Works for the ensu-

gotten the fact that his term was
about to expire and knew nothing of
his reelection until some time after
it had taken place.
Mr.. Downes has been State Bank
Commissioner since 1910, having
first been appointed by the late Gov
ernor Austin L. Crothers He has
been reelected every two years since

Ordinarily the Fourth of July
celebrations in Cambridge have not
been of very patriotic order, the
reason being that as a general rule,
those connected with them have not
felt the necessity for any special ap-
peal to those ties or feelings that
bind one to ones own country. The
order has usually been base ball
games in the morning and after
moon, horse racing in the afternoon,
occasionally some fireworks at night,
but as a general rule, some form of
entertainment like dance, moving
| pictures, ETC., and the days celebra-
ton was over.
This year all will be different. In
the first place, every official connec
ted with the government, from Presi-
known that it is their unanimous be-
| lief that the American people should
celebrate the great national holiday,
the anniversary of the achievement
of that Independence for the preser-
walton of which we are fighting to-
day, in a manner that will indicate
our great love of country and our
great love and pride in the men who
are fighting now and are going to
fight our battles on the other side. A
man who has no real burning love
for his country, whose blood does
not leap in bounds when he hears it's
national airs, OF who does not re-
spond sympathetically when his coun
try calls for his aid, is very much
like a man with home, wife and
children, to whom that home means
no more than someone else's; to
are no more than any other mans
wife or anyone else's children, who
feels no special ties of kinship, but
instead is Indifferent to all of these,
the most sacred ties in the world 1t
would be hard, indeed, to find such
a man, and it should be hard to find
such a citizen.
The plans for the celebration of
the country's anniversary this year
have been placed in the hands of a
committee composed of Judge w.
Laird Henry, Mayor Earle w. Orem,
Messrs. Martin W. Smith, Vernon S.
Bradley and P Watson Webb The
committee plans to have the biggest
parade that was ever held in Cam
bridge; the parade will likely be
headed by Governor Harrington; all
of the organizations, including the
Old Veterans, the Red Cross units
from every district in the county. all
the various organizations, including
the Masons, Odd Fellows, Mechanics,
Elks, knights Of Pythias, Rescue
Fire Company, and every other patri-
otto organization in the county, will
be asked to join in the event.
There will be a baseball game in
the morning, another in the after
noon; horse racing in the afternoon,
and there will be speaking, at which
gentleman Of national reputation
will make the leading speech. AT one
time it was thought that Leslie M.
Shaw, former Secretary of the United
States Treasury, might be secured;
then Speaker Champ Clark is a pos
sibility, but whoever is secured, and
by this time it is likely that the ar
rangements have been completed,
will be a gentleman of nationwide
reputation as an orator.
In connection with this event it is
also considered likely that the new
State Armory will be dedicated at
the same time, although the plans
in this connection have not been com
pleted.
Additional plans in connection
with the event will be published in
this paper within the next day or two

CONSULT LOCAL BOARD
BEFORE MAKING CHANGE

Persons Affected by The "WOrk or
Fight" Regulations Should Con-
suit Local Board Before Making
Changes in Their Employment.
There are a number of persons in
Cambridge and the county who may
be affected by the new Federal Gov
eminent regulation about working at
some useful occupation or fighting,
but before any such persons make a
change it might be well to confer
with the members of the local board
in order that they may see whether
they come under the special provi-
sions of the regulations.

Torpedoed OFF ireland.

Paris. Jan. 3O.-Forty persons were
killed when the French transport
Drome and a trawler struck mine
within sight OF Marseilles on Monday.
Aviators soon afterward discovered
several mines in the same vicinity.
London, Jan. 3O.-The big Cunard
liner Andania and the steamer Cork

WAS ANCIENT ROMAN ROAD
Waiting Street Probably One of the
Oldest Thoroughfares in the
United Kingdom.

Waiting street from very early Pc
Rod was applied to an old Roman road
that extended across England east ana
west from Dover through London and'
into Wales. One historian says: ''Thes
milky way was known to our early
English ancestors as Waiting street,
signifying the road by which the he
roic sons of Waeltla marched across
the heavens. When they settled In
England they transferred the name
Waiting street to the great Roman
road which they found traversing the
island, from London to Chester. Por-
tons of the road still bear the name"
The British cyclopedia accepts that
part of the tradition that applies the
name of Waiting street to the old Ro-
man road, but it ignores the milky way
theory and says: 1.-THE derivation Of
Waiting is unknown, but an English
personal name may lie behind 1t. In
the Elizabethan period and after Il,
the name Waiting street seems to have
been applied by antiquaries to many
Roman or reputed Roman roads In va
riOus parts of Britain, and English
map makers and inferior writer's on
Roman roads still peTpetuate the fic-
lions. In particular the Roman North
road which ran from York through
Corbridge and over CheviOt to New
stead near Melrose, and thence to the.
Wall Of Pins, and which has largely
been in use ever since Roman times,

AZ KILLED BY BOMBS
1869 OTHERS WOUNDED DURING
AIR RAID ON LONDON.
Fifteen German Airplanes Take Par'
in Attack-One Shot Down by
British Aviators.

London, Jan. 3O.-German airplanes
made their first attacks of the year
upon London and its suburbs on Mon
day night, their bombs infiicting casual
ties officially reported as AZ killed and
1859 injured. OF those killed IA were
men, IL women and 16 children.
All the victims, except one OF the
killed and seven of the injured. were
in the London area itself.
No serious material damage was
done. and the raiders suffered the loss
of one machine, which fell in flames
from height of 10000 feet, its three
occupants being burned to death.
The enemy machines, numbering
about fifteen, came over the coast in
relays, but apparently only three or
four succeeded in getting through the
barrage. The gunfire lasted intermit-
tently through five hours, and for two
hours was almost continuous.
There was an hours interval before
midnight when no firing was heard
| except an occasional distant gun off
toward the coast. Residents who were
away from their homes at the theaters
or in the shops when the raid began
| concluded it was all over, although the
bugles had not sounded "clear" signal,
and more persons were on the streets
than usual at midnight when the heavy
guns began to boom again in warding
off the second attack.
The house of lords was sitting when
the raiders first appeared, and it con-
| tinued its deliberations until midnight
with an attendance of 30 peers, which
was fair number for that body. The
house of commons had adjourned a
few moments before the warning was
received
John Hodges, the minister of pen
sions, was addressing a public meeting
in Battersea attended by 1900 persons
when the firing began. He declared
to them his only regret was that the
Germans had not been given months
| ago taste Of what they were giving
Londoners.
Berlin, Jan. 30-"Bombs were
dropped with good. effect on London
and Sheerness," says a German Off
cial statement issued reporting the
German air raids on England.

SPECIAL ROPE FOR CLIMBERS
Those Used In the Alps Are Selected
for Strength, Reliability and
Llqhtness.

The rope used by Alpine climbers Is
of special manufacture, combining as
far as possible the different qualities
of strength, fiexibility and lgntness.
Three qualities are in general use,
being made from sisal, Italian and
Manila hemps respectively, and occa-
sionally, when cost is not q considera-

light and strong, il not so durable as
the others. That which finds most Ia
vor among British mountaineeers is
known as Buckingham Alpine rope.
It is made of the best Manila hemp.
In the year 1854 a committee OF the
Alpine club made tests upon number
OF ropes suitable for mountaineering
OF the two that were approved one
was made OF Italian hemp and the
other of Manila They both had a
breaking strain Of two tons and sus-
talned the weight Of 170-pound man
