Calais. Me, April. 30-The bridge
over the st. Croix River at Barring.
five miles from here, was carried

after damaging the mill property

TO DISPATCH new
GERMAN PREPARATIONS
PROGRAM TONIGHT

Berlin, April 3O-(By A. P.)-Ger-
many's new Preparations programme,
inspired by Lord Curzon's recent
speech, will be despatched to the
Entente capitals and to Washington
Tuesday night. Its final draft will
be decided on tomorrow after Chan
cellor Cuno and Foreign Minister
Won Rosenberg have concluded fur
Their deliberations with the Reich
stag leaders and announced the gov
ernment's plans to the premicrs of
the federated states.
Official quarters continue their
refusal to make even a cursory re-
vel2tion as to the nature Of the new
proposals, characterizing current
predictions as unauthorized and
wholly conjectural. Among the
Rcichstag leaders who have been in
constant touch with government
headquarters the past week the opin-
ion is prevalent tonight that the new
offer will specify fiat fiXation of
thirty billion gold marks. will pro-
pose 80 year anti-aggression pact,
to be participated in by all the
Rhine powers, and provide for the
creation of Frnco German indus
trial entente.
Whether Germany is making the
payment of thi = billion gold marks
contingent on the successful fioata-
ton of a foreign loan cannot be
learned tonight, although it was
stated that the German industrial
and financial interests had vouch-
f15
port for his new programme.
AS an alternative to it's new offer,
it is learned that the German gov
eminent would make the uncondi-
tional suggestion that the whole
reparations tangle should be submit
ted to a jury of authorized economic
experts as the American secretary
of state proposed. or it would even be
satisfied to have new proposals
made submitted to inquiry by such a
neutral commission, upon which the
Entente as well as Germany would
be represented.
The inclusion of n long-tcrm anti
aggression pact ltas~heen- stimulated
bJ the desire to have the question OF
securities, which has been projected
into the situation by France. solved
on basis that would call for mutual
confidence on The part of all the
powers concerned.
While it wa= expected that the
chancellor would make this one of
the features of his new programme.
no details are yet available with re-
spect to the plan for an industrial
entente. although it is supposed this
would provide for an interchange of
stocks among the French and Ger
man steel. iron and coal interests,
thus creating a Immunity of inter-
ests which would prevent serious
competition and at the same time
permit Germany to work. out her
rcparations debts. 1t is well known
that such a solution of the Franco
German industrial difficulties had
been advocated by Hugh SHINES and
other German induatrialists long be-
fore the occupation of the Ruhr.
The Reichstag leaders believe that
the Forthcoming German offer will
constitute a liberal advance over the
proposals which failed to reach the
Entente premiers last January.

MADISON WORKERS
FIGHT TO HOLD
CANAL bridge
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

especial TO kennebec JOurnaO
Madison. April 3O-With thirteen
feet of water running over the dam
at $40 this evening the gage at the
Great Northern Paper Mill showed
the water to be rising at the rate of
one half inch per hour. The inter-
est this afternoon conferred in the
fight by the road department to save
the bridge across thf canal and stop
the water from crossing the foot of
Main street. Tractors and vehicles
were stopped early in the afternoon.
At $50 the employees at the Indian
Spring wooden mill stopped work and
went to their homes as the bridge
at that time was unsafe for even
foot passengers. A pipe which brings
in the town water supply from Han
cock Pond crosses here.
Early this evening the situation be-
came so dangerous that the gates on
the Arson end We're closed and the
town now has twenty-for hour sup
ply of pure water in the reservoir.
The Mater now lacks about ten feet
F'of 'ffavffg' eateH hole across the foot
of Main street. If this happens the
water supply fight will be broken
without question. The fate of the
bridge still hangs in the balance. On
the Arson end of he bridge across
the main river the water is over the
road and running around the end of
the bridge. The store of Archie
Dawes. on the Arson end of the
bridge has been anchored with cables
hoping to save it. The superinten-
dents of the various mills say that
