NO TIME TO LAG

Whether Gsrmany's propaganda
push has had the effect of ulling
loan laggards into false belief that
the end OF the war is here. or wheth-
er the bond buyers took Monday off
to think it over. the fact remains that
only an even $1,000 worth of bonds
were bought in Augusta. Monday.
The local Liberty Loan committee
believes that yesterdays lull was
merely the preliminary to a storm of
buying which will begin today and
last through the remainder of the
week. Local bankers report a few
more big purchases in sight-but in
the main the remainder Of Augustus
quota must be taken by the smaller
purchasers or by the banks.
The total Of Augustus subscrip-
lions amount now to $511,S00. Five
days remain. of this drive. This
means that s37.640 worth of bonds
must be bought each day from now
until Saturday to put Augusta over
the top.
The Boy Scouts began their drive
yesterday and their familiar uniforms
were to be seen in all parts of Au-
gusta as they scurried about. looking
for prospective buyers. Naturally
the opening day Of their work was
largely preliminary. They will be
hoard from to GOOD effect before the
week is over.

Death Of Everett Spear

Maine. Public Utilities Commission:
Death Of Everett Spear
Everett Spear. 10, Of Bristol, engi-
neer on the steamboat Tourist. Of the
Damariscotta Riv0 Steamboat Line,
was drowned when the steamer
struck the iron bridge, about 800 feet
north of the Damariscotta wharf, and
capsized, at 2.05 P. NJ, August Is,
1918.
The steamer with 10 passengers
and it's crew on board was making
the trip from Christmas Cove to
Damariscotta. When it neared the
Damariscotta wharf the captain
signalled Inc engineer to shut on
steam. about 200 feet from the dock.
AS it approached the dock deck
hand threw the rope to man on the
wharf to be fastened to the piling.
The rope did not have sufficient slack,
and the man was unable to make the
hitch.
The tide was running with the
boat, which continued past the land
ing at about five miles an hour. The
captain signalled Spear, the engineer
to reverse, which the latter failed to
do. A deckhand ran to his quarters
to repeat the order, where he found
Spear very pale and bleeding from his
left arm. He told the deckhand he
could not reserve. Before anything
further could be done, the SMOKE
stack and canopy top of the steamer
struck the bridge, side on, and it
partially overturned.
All of the passengers and crew ex-
cept Spear were saved, some by
swimming and most Of them being
rescued by men in motor boats
Spear was last seen clinging to the
pilot house. his arm bleeding. II is
believed that he fell off and was
drowned. His body was found three
days later some distance up river
where it had been carried by the tide
The arm was then found to have
been shattered.
An examination of the engine room
after the accident showed the engine
to be in the forward position with
the steam not entirely shut off. II
is probable that Spear was injured in
some manner rendering him unable
to perform his duties. No positive
explanation of his failure to respond
to the signals can be given.
