A Real Favor.

The Bangor & Aroostook railroad has
delivered 500 tons of coal to the Maine
Central at Northern Maine Junction to
help the latter road in the serious emer-
gency it faced through scarcity of fuel
and inability to replenish its supply. The
deliveries were made from Searsport and
prevented critical situation.
The coal was sent, so B, & A. officials
stated, to help the Maine Central, de-
spite the fact that the former road has
only a comparatively small supply on
hand at present The Maine Central cast
dread upon the waters" last spring,
when it loaned coal to the Bangor q
Aroostook, which at that time faced a
shortage. The B. & A. now returns the

Any person, who seeks honor or

dated into one, and you get an idea

$4,000 quarters of beef, can be pro-

transportation has been overlooked.
"Under construction we have to con-
slider the building of railroads, the erec-
tiOn and assembling of cars and loco
motives, the building Of wharves,
docks and storehouses; the construc-
ton and repair OF barges and other
vessels for use on the canals and navi-

everything from the cutting of the tim

Under supplies we include water,
food, clothing, fuel, animals, forage,
guns and ammunition, airplanes, etc.
We have taken over q great many man
ufactures. We make our own choco-
late, and manufacture hard bread,
ard a number of such commodities.
There is one bakery in the center Of
France from which we send out ev-
e-y day fresh bread for 100000 men.
"Under disqualification we include

is divided into nine sections--the ad-

Behind the British Lines in France,
June -(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. )-The- uses Of the
airplsne. as an auxiliary to@,infantry
in action are being continually ex-
tended. It is the opinion of military
leaders here that the need for more
and more machines and trained men
is shown by the success Of the low
flying airplanes in operating against
the Germans during the past two
months.
On the western front this spring
two factors-German recklessness of
life and the success Of the allies in
holding back the German airmen-
gave the opportunity Of developing on
large scale this method Of harrass-
ing attack.
The success of the low-flying air
planes is Of two kinds-the slaughter
they inf1ict, and secondly, the disor-
ganization they cause. This second
factor is Of more importance than
most people realize An unexpected
check to troops on march is always
troublesome. Men wonder what has
happened. Suddenly bombs begin to
fall, men are killed, horses stampede
wagons are smashed and the road
blocked. Until. the allied airplanes are
seen the terror Is mysterious. When
they are seen, with the Irresistible i'm.
plication that the German planes have
failed to drive them off, the psyche
logical effect is very severe.
