To Test Defense
of Panama Canal

or the Panama Canal as q means of
national defense will he put to the
test next month when the blue"
fleet from the Pacific attempts to use
the big waterway to enter the Allan
tic against the "black" orr enemy
feet stationed there. Army forces in
the Canal Zone, 5000 strong, both
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets, and
an expeditionary force of Marines
from Quantico, Va, will participate
IN the joint maneuvers. the first of
the kind ever attempted.
A war department announcement
today said the maneuver plan as
based upon the assumption that
strained relations exist between the
United States and imaginary enc
mics, equal to us in resources, man
power and naval strength"
Instructions have been sent to
army and navy commanders to be
opened at noon, Jan. II, and the OPP
erations will occur between Jan. 16
and %. Chief Umpires will be Ad-
miral Eberle. chief of naval opera
tions, and Major Hines, acting chief
of staff.
Three major purposes are embed
led in the maneuvers: first, to ascer-
tain the ability of the army to keep
the Penama Canal open in war with
the means both in personnel and ma
terials placed at it's disposal for the
purpose: second, to obtain data as
to the time required to affect con-

FIRST REAL STORM
OF WINTER BRINGS
5 IN. MANTLE SNOW

Coming on the anniversary of the
start OF one of the worst billiards. of
the winter Of 1929, the snowfall of
Friday gave a real wintry appearance
to the landscape in this section, and
with total fall Of about eight inches
the indications are that there will be
plenty Of snow for sleighing, and also
enough so that the younger generation
will have ample opportunity for trying
out the Christmas sleds, skis and
snowshoes.
The storm. which was practically un-
heralded so far as weather predictions
were concerned. began in the hours be-
fore daylight Friday morning and con-
tfnued steadily, with occasional Pc
RODS Of greater intensity. throughout
the day and into the early evening. At
o'clock In the morning local thermom-
eters registered 10 degrees above zero
and the mercury did not climb much
higher than 20 through the forenoon.
The wind Fwas from the northeast and
was Of sufficient velocity to make the
travelling. rough for pedestrians on the
city streets and for teamsters in the
outlying districts.
The first real storm of the winter
did not seriously hamper service on
either the electric or steam railroads.
Train No. II from Boston. due in this
city at 2.52 p. NJ. was about half an
hour behind schedule. but No. 25 and
the evening trains were on time.
On the lines Of the Androscoggin &
Kennebec Railroad, preparations had
been made many weeks ago for the
coming Of snow. and the plows were
working on all lines early in the day.
Cars on the main line were troubled
slightly. but schedules were maintained
with regularity throughout the day.
Automobile transportation continued
uninterruptely. There were not, per-
kaps. so many cars on Water street
as have been in evidence during the
holiday trading, but motorists were op-
Grating their machines with little or no
difficulty in all sections of the city.
The householders hunted their snow
shovels out from their summer quar-
tiers, and the shoe dealers were called
upon to make great inroads into their
stocks of arctics. galoshes, rubbers and
overshoes.
In measure the snowfall Of yester-
day was particularly pleasing to the
railroad officials. Because of the lack
Of snow up to this time, it has been
impossible to do much hauling of pulp
wood or logs for lumber in the woods.
and this class of freight has been sad
ly missed by the carriers. With the
coming Of snow in sufficient quantity
to insure good shedding, the timber
can be hauled out Of the woods to the
railroads.
