Military Tactics for
Big Field Battle
Worked Out on Maps

BY far the most interesting object
|, lesson that has been presented to
members of the National Guard In
Augusta for many months is dem
onstrated in some huge maps on the
walls of the armory of the Head
quarters company, Seth Infantry
Brigade.
These maps are the property of
Major Homer Preston of the 43rd
division, who has been conducting
division schools all over New Eng
land. They have been used by the
officers of the Maine Guard and will
remain on the walls of the Head
quarters company armody until the
brigade school at Camp keyes in
June.
Innumerable phases OF military
tactics are involved in these maps
because they are the ground work
for the staging of a battle between
a defending Blue force and an at
lacking Red force. In the Blue
army is the 43rd division of which
the seth Infantry Brigade is a part.
How this division is to prevent the
advance of the opposing Red force
and guard the right flank of the
main Blue army Is the basis OF the
problem.
Infantry forces, artillery forces
and other arms Of the service are
shown on the map. AS a means of
instruction 1t is by far the finest seen
around here in years. 1t provides
every kind of instruction for men
of the headquarters company and Of
fers visual information much more
forcibly than could be given except
on the actual field. The regular
drill of the company tonight, there
fore. it expected to be nearly H.
per cent.

while next in order came bracelets,
watches and rings. of which the pop
ularity was about equal. Bar pins
held the next place.
The speaker said that 1t would be
easy for jewelers. to work out sta
tistics by Questionnaires sent to
young ladies in their communities.
Regarding business methods, jew
elers were urged to develop the sys-
TENS of soliciting business by tele-
phone and of house to house solicit
@tion.

James H. Noyes representing the
jewelers. Security Alliance of New
York. told of the work of that or
ganization in apprehending criminals
who had stolen jewelry. He assert
ed that so per cent. of the jewelry
losses are caused through careless
ness, or lack of proper protection in
the stores. In many cases the show
cases in stores were not locked. The
points which the Alliance works upon
are: Prevention, Pursuit, Prosecution
and Punishment. The Alliance has
a membership of about $500.

Bill Bunker Has
A Whale of a Fish
Story That's True

Because he's got the goods with
which to prove it, Bill Bunker. the To-
cal architect, is telling a whale of a
fish story these days. 1t seems that
Bill and a party of friends have just
returned from a most successful fish
ing trip, the designated waters are not
observation-disclosures Bits got the
goods.
Yes, I caught that eight-pound sal
mon myself. but l had some tussle get
ting him ashore. l caught him with a
horse halter. You know it is a pretty
difficult matter to catch a fish with A
halter, because you can't tell where his
head stops and his neck begins, to put
the halter around it. Anyway, / got
the halter around his neck and then
hitched the rope onto tree, to wait for
the tide to go down in the lake.
when the tide in the lake went
down, I got a man to help me haul
the salmon out. We hauled him out
after a hard pull. And what do YOU
SUPPOSE" said Bill. rubbing his chin
and looking off into space. ''They made
me fill up the hole in the lake from
where ] took the fish"

The center of admiration for all

articles, the handiwork of the pupils,
easily demonstrated much artistic
ability and careful training upon the
part of the teacher.

Fascists Get After WY
Little Entente'S Stand

Bucharest, May ga. p. by MaiD
The Rumanian government is max
ing extraordinary efforts to put. a
stop to the campaign which the Ru-
manian Fascists are carrying son
against the Little Entente. The
Fascists maintain that the other
members of the Little Entente, con-
spicuously Jugoslavia. are using Ru-
mania to bolster up the alliance,
while damaging or ignoring Ruman-
ian national interests on their own
soil, ...1
Recently Fascismul, the Fascist or
gan, attacked the Little Entente and
the Rumanian government for re-
naming in it. BY vote of the min
isterial council the issue was seized
and the paper suppressed. Fascismul
reappeared recently with the follow
ing declarations against one fellow
member of the Little Entente.
I'm the Banat and in Macedonia the
Rumanian soul. we fear, cannot sur
vive the measures which are being
taken against it. From five years up
our children are being driven into
Serbian schools, and they are for
hidden to speak any language other
thar Serbian. 49,
"All Rumanian churches and
schools have been closed. The Ru-
manians are being tormented with
out hindrance and with official en-
enlargement by the Serbian colonists.
THE same Is true in Greece. There
| also the Rumanian population is be-
ing denatiOnaliZed. The Greeks for
this purpose resort even to murder.
The areas in Macedonia and on the
Pind are running anew with Ru-
manian blood. With such allies 1t
would be to our advantage to send
the Little Entente to the devil"
After this pointed utterance. It II
worthy of note, Fascismul was not
suppressed.

Police Photography.
A Rapid Fire Aid

New York, May 21-(By A. pJc-
A photograph studio, the largest ana
most up-to- date in the world. with
a clientele of more than $4,000 per
sons and electrical equipment for de-
veloping photographs with lightning
rapidity, has become one of the most
important adjuncts of the New York
police department.
Tricks of criminals to circumvent
police photographers have become So
futile that the old-time requirement.
that four detectives hold a prisoner
for a pose is no longer necessary.
The only delay nowadays is caused
by vain women who powder and
rouge or by "shieks" who slick their
hair.
Paris police not long ago sen.
over here photograph of a man
named 'Hussey." NEW York police
Immediately recognized the portrair
as that of the notorious "Dapper
Dan Collins" despite the fact that
when photographed in Paris he had
thrust his head forward to give "a
distorted image.
The so-Called Diamond Bank ro$-
berry," in which two bank messeh-
gers were shot to death by a gang bf
holdup men, was solved with the ard
OF the police studio. One of tie
gang was known. and within, fife
hours 1000 copies of his picture were
sent to police in all parts of the
country. Fingerprints accompanied
the portraits. A few days later Barlow
M. Diamond, one of the gang, was
recognized and caught in ClevelanCS
But even more striking was the
case Of trusted bookkeeper who
disappeared when his accounts wefe
found to be $4,000 short. Polide
sent his portrait broadcast. Thrde
months later in an obscure wester,,
town the fugitive was recognized
and arrested by the towns lone md
torcycle policeman.

Gardiner Fire.
Department to Have
Added Apnaratus

The Gardiner fire department is
to have two important additions to
the present apparatus in the near
future, it was announced yesterday
by Chief Dunn. The Alert + Hose
Company is planning to purchase a
Dodge truck to be used for carry
ing hose and will be fitted to carry
1000 feet of hose. The interesting
feature of this is that the members
are planning to purchase this truck
with their own funds, with the finan-
cial aid of any citizens who wish to
contribute to this good cause.
The body of the truck will be es-
pecially designed for its particular
purpose and the purchase will be
made through the local Office of the
Gardiner Motor Company. John
Mosher. agent for the company in
this city, will supervise the con-
struction of the body on the Dodge
chassis, thus assuring that the COM
pleted product will be suited for hose
carrying.
The second purchase under con-
sideration will be good news to the
residents of South Gardiner, for the
members of the engine company in
that community are contemplating
the purchase of combination hose
cart and pumper motor truck. This
will have a capacity Of about $50
gallons, the estimated cost to be
around $500. This money will be
raised by various dances and enter
tainments in the South Gardiner
Community Club hall. the talent to
be local, thus making the enter
prise locally financed, and to be for
the benefit of the entire community.
Public subscription will. of course,
go long way towards these pur-
chases and the object being worthy,
Chief Dunn and his aids. Engineers
Oliver Sprague and w. Norris Pot
ter. and the men of the companies
will undoubtedly receive consider
able. financial aid for the work OF
raising the required amounts.
