and George A. Dreamer of Washington,
are here in the interest of looking after
the shield of the battleship Maine
which is now in the city store house
covered with dust. says the Bangor
News. They visited the City hall and
interviewed Mayor Woodman. Friday
being the Goth anniversary they think
that something should be done in re-
gard to having it given a proper place
here. They are going to refer it to the
city government to see If it cannot
be erected in a prominent place and if
not to have the government turn it
over to some other city in the State.
1t was learned Thursday. says the
Portland Express. that a compromise
had been effected between the two
Ossipee Trail factions One faction has
wanted the route to go by the way OF
Standish Corner, Steep Falls, Mat
tocks Station and Cornish Station tC
Cornish Village. while the other fac.
ton has been working for the route
running from Standish Corner, via
Wilmington bridge, to Cornish VIII
lage.
According to the report. arrange
ments had been completed whereby
both routes may be built. 1t is stated
that there is a need for both of them
and that no harm will be done or nc
money wasted BY the construction Of
the two. This plan would unite the en-
tire section of the State and not only
would the six towns of Gorham, Stan
dish, Baldwin, Cornish, Parsonstield
and Porter be satisfied. but also the
very important town of Limington.
which is on the so-called direct route

AMERICAN AIRMEN
HOLDING HUNS BACK
No More Flying Over Our Lines at
Will.

With the American Army in
France, Saturday, May 25.-(By AS
sociated Press. 1.-The activities OF
the American air squadron operating
in the sector northwest )t Toul
effective than was anticipated.
When it first began it's work there
were between thirty and fifty sum-
mons to activity coming into our
aviators daily. Gradually the nuL lbe:'
Of calls had dwindled until for s-v-
cral days the average ha, + u only
TWO day.
From strictly technical military
standpoint. the operations of the
American airmen have two objects
The first is to kill off the opposing
airmen, while the second is 10 keep
the enemy from flying his machines
on the American side of the line and
thus preventing him from taking
photographs, regulating artillery
fire. or in any way securing informa-
ton.
The records show that the new
squadron has already taken a cred
liable toll of enemy pilots and OBJ
servers, while for a German airplane
to come over the American lines now
Is rare occurrence. This situation
contrasts sharply with that which
prevailed when these aviators first
started operating.
Moreover, according TO informa-
tion obtained from German officer
aviator brought down within the
last few days, the fear of the Amer
lean aviators has been instilled into
the German flying corps. This
prisoner furnished the information
that the line from ST. Mihiel to Pot
aMousson, within which the Ameri-
lean airmen are operating had come
to be regarded as a dangerous place
for German pilots. Our fighting av-
iators could not possibly have heard
more welcome tribute.
