Trying for a climb speed record Air
man RoHLFs reached the height of
1880 feet in minutes 4S 2-5 seconds.
How this speed compares with fast
going mere ground men are familiar
with can be illustrated by saying that
RoHLFs and his machine shot up into
the air at a rate a little better than
that of a sprinter who goes the 100
yard dash in 10 seconds fiat. Then
consider a long distance runner cover
ing two miles at the same rate the
Splinter dashes over only 100 yards.
and RoHLFss skyward speed can be
better understood. OF course the air
man covered a greater distance than
he gained feet in height, much greater,
but he put the earth beneath him.
however devious his air track. fastest
than the swiftest cinder track ath-
lete can run his familiar short course.

Some of the committee were astonished
at this sort of talk from Mr.. Baker, Il
confessed pacifist. They recalled that
the Cabinet was deprived of the services
of Lindley Garrison as Secretary of War
because the President, after indorsing
Mr.. Garrison's move for "nationaI
army"-the first step toward universal
military training-suddenly switched, and
Mr.. Garrison resigned in disgust.
Replying to questions, the Secretary
denied the men while In training could
be used to quell strikes or any disorder
in the country. He said he favored ex-
tension of the benefits OF the War Risk
Insurance act to all men in training, and
insisted that their legal status must be
the same as that of regular soldiers in
order TO preserve discipline.
Asked If he favored any reductions in
the pay of enlisted men, Mr.. Baker re-
Piled by no means. I believe that the
present pay OF enlisted men should be
maintained and no thought of going back
to the pre-war standard should be enter
tanned"
Part Of the hearing was given over to
expressions of dissatisfaction by sew
eral members OF the committee with tho
way the Government Is recognizing the
National Guard.
Complaints centred about the failure
OF the War Department to spend all the
money provided for the Guard and the
apparent unwllingness to permit the
States to organize whatever units might
be favored locally.
Representative Caldwell IN. "
charged that New York State was not
able to organize units desired because
Federal aid was not assured.
Major-Gen. Jesse Carter, chief of the
militia bureau, replied 1t would be i'm
possible to allow New York to organize
on the pre-war basis under present APP
preparations. II all requests were
granted, he said. the State would have
fifteen infantry companies, which, he
said, would overbalance the State Guard.
The state, he said, would be allowed to
organize a full division, and 1t has been
promised Federal recognition.
zone OF the first questions New York
must settle is just what units shall re-
ceive Federal recognition" Mr.. Baker
Interrupted. For instance. the Sixty
ninth Regiment with its historic tradi-
tions was taken into the National Army
as the 165th Regiment. During its alb
sence in France a new Sixty-ninth was
organized. Now both regiments are
claiming to be the Sixty-nlnth. and the
State must decide which shall receive
Federal aid before II can be granted"

Returns, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Newton d.
Baker. who gained fame as Mayor Of
Cleveland by forbidding a preparedness
parade there, went before the House
Military Committee to-day to back up
the ADMINISTRATORS plea for the League
OF Nations as drawn In Paris, and talked
like real dyed in the wool militarist
Mr.. Baker was urging the adoption Of
peace time standing army OF 500, 900
men. He sought to support the Admin
istration slogan that "the League of Ma
lions will prevent war; by attempting to
show that this army, five times Ameri-
cas- former strength, would be but a
drop in the bucket to what would be re-
CURED II the league Is tempered with or
rejected by the Senate.
"The peace time army Of sos, 900 men
recommended by the War Department,
which has been called by some the big
army programme will be but childs
play II the League of Nations Is not
formed" was the way Mr. Baker put 1t.
Such an army would just be n play
thing. Without the league / am certain
that every nation must be armed to the
teeth. and we will have the old question
of the balance of power"
The Secretary denied the statement
accredited to him in a recent Cleveland
speech that a League of Nations would
have prevented the present war.
IT did refer to the efforts Of Sir Ed
ward Grey to maintain peace. and stated
that a League Of Nations might have
given the priceless time for mediation"
he added.

balance of Power System.

'"The President in one Of his recent ad-
dresses declared we would never have
to send khaki clad troops to Europe
under the League of Nations. but we
never did under this balance OF power
system" Representative CSaigie tPa.)
interrupted.
Mr.. Baker said the balance of power
was responsible for sending 100000
troops to France. The Secretary in his
testimony to-day revealed that the plan
of army reorganization submitted to
Congress was not placed before Gen.
Pershing for his recommendations. Mr..
Baker stated he had asked Gen. Pershing
to make an immediate study of the army
problem and be prepared to submit his
views to Congress as soon as possible.
Mr. Baker added he had not definitely
approved all sections of the bill but
stated he was strongly in favor of uni
versal military training.
Before the war our leading military
men told us It would take from one to
five years to give raw recruit any
military training of value" Mr. Baker
said. but the war has completely dis
proved this. We can give real training
that will not only benefit the youth but
the nation in few months What i'm
presses me about universal military
training is the national value of getting
the youth of the country in such way
that they all will feel the obligations
they owe to their country. The value
to the country in a physical way in
developing the weak cannot be esti-
mated"

MIDDAY FIRE.
Odd Fellows Hall, Ellsworth Badly
Damaged Monday.

Fire in the Odd Fellows building at
Ellsworth Monday did damage estimated
roughly at $500. The fire started on th e
waste paper and rubbish, and spread
rapidly up the stairway to the attic. 1t
had gained good headway when
discovered, and before the arrival of the
firemen, which was delayed because the
fire horse was out of the house engaged
on sidewalk work, the fire had reached
to the sttic.
Once at the fire, the firemen did ex-
cellent work, confning the fam es to the
southwest corner of the building. The
flames broke through into the main hall
on the second floor, reaching the stage,
and also broke through at the corner of
the lodge room on the third floor. The
rear stairway was gutted. The piano in
the lodge room and the drop curtain in
the main hall were destroyed.
A large part of the damage was from
smoke and water. The water did not get
into the lodge room to any extent, and the
carpet was not wet. The lodge room
was not badly smoked. The main hall
was badly smoked, and the plsstering is
of in many places where the water ran
above The ceiling. The hardwood floor in
this hall was covered with water during
the fire, but men with brooms kept it
cleared and II has apparently dried with
out serious damage.
The water also soaked down through to
the banquet hall in the basement, and
here also much plsstering is off.
In the stores on the ground floor Mo-
rsng's garage had many cars stored. and
there will be some loss here from water,
but not serious.
All the losses are covered by insurance.
The fire At one time mad every appear
ance OF being a disastrous one, but good
work by the flremen and excellent water
pressure saved the building, The Odd
Fellows are ccngratuiating themselves
that the fire was no worse.

Benvenue Granite Co. Case.

Arguments in the equity case OF the
Sullivan development Corporation VS.. the
Philadelphia Warehouse Co., were heard
before Justice Dunn in Bangor last
Thursday. The testimony in this case
had previously been taken cut before the
late Justice ArDo W. King, and the
transcript of this evidence has been
submitted to Justice Dunn.
The sullivan Development Corporation
is the successor In title to Benvenue
Granite Co., which gave a mortgage to
the Broadway Trust Co., of New York,
to secure an issue Of bonds which were
pledged to the Philadelphia Warehouse
Co. as collateral for an advance. The
foreclosure of the personal property was
completed, and the plaintiff claims that
the proceeds OF the personality, together
with sums paid on account, are sufficient
to discharge the Indebtedness.
The defendants claim that by q sale Of
the bonds as collateral for the debt, the
Warehouse Co. became the owner, for
value, OF all the bonds, and the trustee,
the Broadway Trust Co., is enabled to
collect the full amount OF the bonds,
s25O, 900.

for the operation was furnished by the
wife OF the defendant. The jury re-
turned a verdict of s55744 for plaintiff,
