IideS for the entire mill tax fund and
100000 additional for third elias

going through. the third class roads
will receive as originally planned. but
should the bond issue fail, the add-

is regarded as distinct triumph for
the highway policies advocated by the
Main Federation Of Agricultural AS

tho Legislature. Getting the bill thus
faVOrably out of committee is due in
great measure to the leader of the farm
group in tho House. Representative

URGE UNDERMINING
NAVY TO GET STANDING

Washington, March M.-The five
five-three naval ratio, the foundation
stone of all the naval agreements
growing out Of the Washington arms
conference, will be utterly destroyed
unless the United States carries out
its program to mOdcrniZe the Ameri-
can treaty fleet, in the opinion of ex-
pert naval officers.
On a computation in which the
known factors of naval powers were
considered, some officers occupying
advisory positions in the Navy De-
partment are inclined to rate the
treaty navies of Great Britain, the
United States and Japan, respective
ly, on a six five four basis, with the
United States placed in the position
of being compelled to modernize her
capital ships if she is to restore the
comparative standing to which she
subscribed.
This revised basis is admittedly
reached on incomplete information
and a possible outgrowth of the
present situation is a request that the
other parties to the treaty make an
official statement of details Of their
impending and present naval pro-
grams and of their Interpretation of
certain clauses of the treaty as now
written.
Decision upon the question of
whether such requests will be made
rests with the State Department
phich now has the general subject
of the navy treaty under discussion
with naval officials. 1T is thought
improbable that any decision will be
reached before the matter has been
laid before President Harding. with
whom also rests the final decision as
to whether the United States go
ahead with the moderniZation pro-
gram authorized by Congress in the
face of hints from Great Britain that
such course would be interpreted as
opposed to the spirit OF the treaty.

sible to do anything except carry
hose and chemicals on foot.
The home of Charles NJ. Blake was
damaged to the extent of $1,000.
The light of the fire was visible
for miles and brought scores of per-
sons to the scene and every able
bodied man was pressed into work of
saving property.

Especial to Kennebec Journal

(SpecldI 10 henne.yeC JOurndl)
Portland, March 25-Three towns
have officially voted appropriations
from their town funds in annual
town meeting for the support of the
State of Maine Publicity Bureau, an
unusual endorsement of the work OF
this organization. These votes were
taken after a careful investigation
and are decidedly pleasing to the di-
rectors of the organization for they
mean that the work of the bureau
and the idea for which it was estab-
lished has been officially approved
by the people at large.
The three towns which voted the
subscription are Old Orchard, $500;
ork, $500: and Naples, $50. These
three towns therefore. become mem
hers of the bureau and have voice
in its management.
