the post-ofiice department.
Lieut.. Peter Ungerland, an army
aviator from Hazelhurst field who
was passing in an automobile near
the spot where the plane fell, said
Mills's machine swerved to the side
as one wing collapsed. Then 1t fell
into some woods bringing down tree.
The plane caught fire at once and
before Lieut.. Ungerland and three
hunters who saw the accident could
reach the spot, the machine was al
most consumed A bank book, pro-
tected from the flames by a heavy
leather wallet, bore Millss name and
an ambulance summoned from Hazel.

THE WAR STAMP QUOTA
Final Effort Being Made to Reach II
On Last Day.

A strenuous effort is being made 10
bring Bennington within its war saw
lngs stamp quota of $4,000 before
the year closes at midnight Monday
$4,000 had been taken from the out
standing obligation of $4,000 and this
morning the local postoffice reported
that sales of nearly two thousand dol.
lars had been made since Mondays re-
port
This morning the amount required
to carry Bennington to the top lacked
something of ten thousand dollars
and sales of the stamps have been in
progress all day at the postoflce The
situation is rather unsatisfactory. AS
one interested citizen said this morn.
ing. Il wouldn't care so much il 1t
were $4,000 That would be too big a
proposition to tackle But we are less
than $4,000 shy and it seems a pity
that we can't put it over. It's too
bad"
A few limit purchases of the little
securities would put the town on the
list of communities that have re.
sponded 100 per cent and better in
every department of war endeavor.

PADEREWSKI FOR
POLISH PRESIDENT
Famous Pianist's Purpose Of Visit to
Poland Is Not to Create New
Government.

London. Dec. 30--According to dis.
patches reaching London from Dan.
zig and Posen, coming by way OF Ber-
lin, II is purposed to proclaim re-
public In Poland with Ignace Jan
Paderewskl as president. Pader-
ewski's entry into Posen, says the
Zeitung am Mittag, resembled a tri-
umphal procession The houses were
lavishly decorated, the members of
Polish associations lined the streets
and the band played Polish airs,
which the crowds sang with enthu-
siasm. Soldiers carrying rifles march
ed in the procession.
The visit OF lgnace Jan Paderewski
10 Poland is not for the purpose of
creating a new government, but rath-
er TO solidify the present government
fal activities in that country said a
statement issued at Washington yes
terday by the Polish bureau in Wash
ington. The bureaus announcement
was based on information from Paris.
"Mr Paderewski's visit said the
statement, will, II is believed, also
be of great value In encouraging the
Polish leaders in their resistance TO
bolshevism of the German as well az
.he Russian variety. The indefinite
ness OF the great powers in the dec

failure TO recognize the Polish ma
ton has seriously complicated the

URGED As HELP
TOWARDS PEACE
Sec. Daniels Advocates $780,
000.0 900 Building Program
SAYS WILSON APPROVES
This Program Would Place the United
States on Same Relative Footing
With Great Britain.

Washington, Dec 3O.-Secretary
Daniels, testilying before the House
Naval Affairs Committee today in adj
vocacy of the new three-year naval
building program to cost 100000. 600
asserted that this nation desired to
enter the Paris Peace Conference
with the assurance from Congress
that the American Navy would be en-.
larged TO a size commensurate with
that of the greatest naval power
Mr.. Daniels explained that the new
three-year program which President
Wilson, he, and the General Board OF
the Navy wished Congress 10 adopt
this session was approved by the
President after the signing OF the
armistice This program, when com.
pleted, would 20 long way toward
putting the American Navy close TO
that of England
1t was evident from Mr.. Daniels
testimony that if the Peace Confer.
ence should declare for a reduction
or limitation OF naval armament the
new American naval building program
could be modified or suspended.
II may say that you cannot do any
thing In the world which would so
strengthen this country's position in
the Peace Conference" said Mr.. Dan
iels. "as to authorize this enlarged
naval program Before | wrote my
annual report ! took up the matter OF

tice was signed, | spoke to him again

The new program recommended by
Secretary Daniels and the General
Board of the Navy calls for the build.

CROWN PRINCE s
SON IS HIDDEN
BY MONARCH|sTs
He Is Legally Today The King of
Prussia
HOPES CENTER ABOUT HIM
Not Being OF Age He Cannot AbdIcate
Nor Can Anyone Renounee His
Rights for Him.

Geneva, Dec 3O--A Berlin corre-
spondent says that Prince Wilhelm.
the German ex-Crown Princes eldest
son, was kidnapped by Prussian mon
archist officers at Potsdam soon after
the return OF the Guard regiments to
Berlin and has been kept hidden by
them ever since The correspondent
says that all efforts by the Berlin Gov
ernment to discover the young
Princes place OF concealment have
proved unavailing
The hopes and intrigues of the Jrus-
sian Junkers are now said to be CEN
tered in this Prince, who is boy of
70. Not being of age, he cannot legal
ly abdicate, nor can any one else re-
nounce his rights 10 the Prussian
throne for him This lad is therefore,
after his fathers and grandfather's
abdication, from a purely legal point
of view, today King of Prussia.
The Prussian monarchists are said
to be holding him concealed in order
to be able to produce him at an oppor-
tune moment and rally all the support
ers of the monarchy around him.
Crown Princess Cecilie. who is said
to have given taeit consent to her
sons abduction. is still in Potsdam
with her younger children
The correspondent adds that in his
opinion Bolshevism and monarchism
will soon be graphing in mortal
struggle in Prussia and will sweep
aside or absorb all other political
parties. the present Government and
the bourgeois classes being too weak
to cope successfully either with Liebk-
necht or Reventlow.
