how fast does it travel? This question
and others of interest to truck owners
and users of the highways are answ-
cred by information obtained in re-
cent traffic census taken by the Bu-
reau of Public Roads, United States
Department of Agriculture, on one of
the most Travelled highways in New
England. The census discloses that 40
per cent of the trucks were of | ton
capacity or less; 33 per cent between
l and 2 1-2 tons; 5 per cent between
PIP and S tons; and that less than
z per cent of the trucks were of more
than 5 tons capacity.
On level stretch Of road, over
which the speed of motor vehicles was
timed, it was found that more trucks
travelled at a speed Of 20 miles an hour
than at any other rate. Thirty-scvcn
per cent Travelled 20 miles and hour or
faster. One truck, whose driver said
he was in a hurry to get there, was
found to be travelling at a speed of
45 miles an hour.

Roscoe NJ Jordan of Auburn arrived
home Saturday noon after a hunting
trip at Magalloway that produced all
the thrills and hardships to be found
in any of the present day best-sell :
ers.
They made the trip from Auburn
in Mr.. Sands automobile, which was
left many miles in the rear OF thelf
camp. They were deep in the woods
when the snow storms of last week
commenced. Twenty inches of snow
fell. They realized all efforts to reach
the car would be fruitless. unequip-
ped as they were for travelling
through the snow, so the Auburn
party started a hike across country
in the direction OF the nearest rail-
road station. a tramp Of is miles.
They reached Cupsuptic Lake. which
they crossed by motor boat and then
eventually reached the Oquossa0~ and
the railroad.
Mr.. Sands car is still at Magal-
loway. and the owner is trying TO
think way in which to get it home.
While the trip was the hardest ever
encountered by the Shoe City hunt
ers, it was profitable, for the party
brought back four doe and two buck.

PORTLAND SAFE
CRACKERS GET y
AWAY WITH LOOT

| Portland, Nov. 1.-THE safe In the
Office of the Elm theater was blown
early Sunday morning. a diamond
ring valued at $1,000. some 500 in
Canadian money and $50 in American
money were stolen. The thieves
overlooked two Liberty bonds of $50
each which were found in other pa
pers scattered around on the floor.
1t is evident that the thieves gain
cd entrance to the building through
one OF the rear exit doors which
shows evidence of being battered
down. The safe is in the owners Of
flee on the second floor and near
window which is within 100 feet OF
Monument square and the theater is
directly in the rear OF the street rail-
road waiting room.
The theater is owned by William 5.
Wolf and the Office was ransacked IN
addition to the destruction of the sale.
Failure to force open the door OF the
safe necessitated the use OF eXplo-
sives. The thieves also broke into
the ticket Office of the street floor but
no money was left there Saturday
night by the cashier. 1t is believed
that this job was not done by ANA
tours and it is regarded as very sim
gular that the thieves were able 10
make this raid in the very center oil
the city and escape detection. This
is the second daring robbery in local
, theaters within a few weeks. Mrs
Helen M. Noyes, treasurer OF the
Strand Theater was shot three weeks
ago when robbers assaulted her in an
attempt to steal the money which she
was counting in her office about $3.50
TN the evening. They made way with
| only $50. however, and Mrs Moves is
| nearly recovered from the wound in
fiicted.

Britain Would
Modify American
Plan on Limitation

Washington. Nov. 14-CBy A. P.)-
Great Britains acceptance lin prin-
ciple" of the American proposals for
limitation Of naval ornaments con-
templates an alteration of the plan in
several important details.
The British acceptance will be pre-
scented at tomorrow "plenary session
of the conference by Arthur J. Bal
four, head Of the mission, who has
plenipotentiary powers. Japan's ac-
ceptance ''in principle" although il
has been forecast by the statements
of Baron Admiral Kato may be de-
layed. as the japanese mission is OBJ
igated to confer with Toxic.
Mr.. Balfour may not outline the
details of the reservations Great
Britain wishes to make. but they are
substantially described this way:
Great Britain wants the replacement
program to be an elastic one-spread
over n period of years.
Great Britain would like to see the
submarine outlawed from naval war
fare: failing this, she wants to see its
tonnage and equipment distinctly
limited. She feels that the submer-
sible fleets allowed by the American
program are too great; she has never
had so large submarine fleet as the
proposals would allow her
The United. States, Great Britain
feels. would have her at a disadvan-
tage in airplane carrying ships under
the terms of the American proposals.
because while Great BRITAIN has an
equipment of these craft, the United
States would have to build new the
number allotted. They would be of
later design and of superior improve
ment. while the British s!.its would
be obsolete.
Great Britain wants the replace
ment program spread over.a period
of years, because, British naval eX-
perts argue. the program could be
carried on with n very small equip
ment of building plant at a small
scale, probably ship at time IL
a fat ten-year\ holiday were to be de-
clared, they say. the facilities for
making a wholesale replacement at
the end Of ten years would have to be
kept in organization, and. although
great fleets of warships might be con-
signed to the junk pile, the facilities
for reproducing them still would
exist.
Such a program the British naval
experts say, does not go to the root
