season. The players are under the
management of George Grady.
Conspicuous in the cast of the COM
pany is the name of Percy Billinger,
who was for some time in this city
with the Henry Carleton Players. With
that company Mr.. Bollinger was a lead
ing performer and he won a big place
in the hearts of local audiences. An
other FORMER Carleton Player who will
be seen at the Silver Theatre this
week is Nadine Pauley. Miss Pauley
has much dramatic ability and when
she was here she made many friends
who will be glad to see her once more.

together with trucks, automobiles,
motorcycles and sidecars for trans
portation Of the balloon and person
mel. The company will carry several
anti-aircraft guns to be located near
the point where the balloon ascends
in order to beat off enemy airplanes
which might attack the balloon.
The mission of the balloon COM
pany is to observe what is going on
in the enemy territory and 1t is par
ticularly valuable in the adjustment
Of artillery fire. From an attitude of
$500 feet, two observers in the ball
loon can overlook very wide area
and as telephone wires are connect
ed with the aircraft the observers
can keep other branches of the army
informed at all times as to the enc
my movements.
The balloon is fixed in the air by
means of a cable attached to az
truck and by winding the cable on a
drum on the truck the balloon can
be quickly hauled down in any emer-
gency and then loaded onto the
truck.
General Hanson states that the al
location of this authorized Maine
unit has not been determined, but it
would necessarily have to be located
where there are suitable facilities
for housing the large amount OF
equipment. He asserts that this is
an important and an attractive
branch of the service. but the Maine
unit cannot be organized until funds
are authorized by the war depart
ment

Sheriff Visits Khan
Carnival in Rochester

Rochester, N. H., May 9-Finan-
cial difficulties that beset many of
the attractions. visit from the
sheriff, a speech by a kleagle in
which he made charges against the
Fair Association, and not as large a
crowd as was expected, featured the
closing day today of the "karnivar'
staged at Cold Spring park by the
knights of the Ku Klux Klan
Instead Of the 10000 to $4,000 per-
sons the khan expected to attend today,
the big day, the attendance was less
than 1000 this afternoon. Some of the
klansmen coming from out of the city
wore hoods and robes. but had the
masks rolled up and made no effort to
conceal their identity. Some of the
women present wore the khan regalia,
with cape on which appeared a cross
on red shield. .
This afternoon when 1t was seen
that the attendance was small and
not much money was in evidence,
CT editors began to get anxious and
consulted lawyers when it was learn
ed that the concerns owed bills
amounting to several thousand dol
lars. Sheriff Davis visited the park
and, 1t is understood, several at
tachments were made.
Tonight the creditors got together
and agreed to let the carnival move
tomorrow to Worcester. where 1t
shows next week in the hope they
will get their money then.

|Waterville High
Orchestra Welcomed
Back by Students

twenty automobiles, filled with
enthusiastic cohorts of the Water
vile high school, formed a welcom-
Ing committee which met the or
chestra of the Waterville senior high
school on it's return from Boston
where 1t had won first prize at the
New England conclave of music,
which was held in Boston FRIDAY
and Saturday.
The trophy, a tall silver vase on a
stand was awarded the local orches-
ira, through its director, Mrs. H. c,
Marden, by Harry Kay, president of
the Boston Kiwanis club, as being the
school, which had suffered the
greatest inconvenience and sur
mounted the greatest obstacles in
order to be present at the conclave.'
Thirty four schools participated in
the conclave and when the large
number of entrants is considered the
winning of the prize by the Water
Vile school is all the more to their
credit. The Boston Kiwanis were
responsible for the entertainment of
the orchestras during their stay in
Boston and the Waterville Kiwanis
supported the idea of their going to
the conclave.
AS soon as the good news was re-
ceived by the folks back home that il
had been their orchestra that had
taken first honors, an impromptu
celebration was arranged and the
caravan of automobiles, headed by
one carrying the high school band
journeyed down the Augusta road
where they met the bus in which the
orchestra made the journey.

URGE FORMATION
OF BALLOON unit
FOR maine GUARD

The emphasis which various cities
IN Maine are placing on the prepara-
ton OF airplane landing fields, brings
into prominence the project of or
ganizing Balloon company of the
national guard, which was allotted to
this state by tie war department in
1920 and was accepted in behalf Of
the state by Governor Carl E. Mill
ken to be raised at some future date.
Although the organization of this
company has been deferred under
the economy program inaugurated
by the federal government and the
state government, 1t is the opinion
Of Adjutant General James w. Han
son that in case of emergency and
general mobilization this unit would
be Immediately organized. .-
The Importance Of balloon COM
panies, General Hanson points out,
was shown during the world war
when they were employed extensive
ly by the allied forces and by the
Germans. General Hanson believes
that this Is a very vital and neces-
sary unit and that the one allotted
to Maine should be organized as
soon as practicable.
The strength Of this unit when
organized in the Maine national
guard will be five officers and $50
men, and the unit will be part of
the first corps troops rather than a
divisional organization. The person.
mel will be especially trained for
work in that branch of the aircraft
service.
The equipment will consist Of one
balloon in action and one in reserve,

Stubborn Blaze in
Tenement House
Does Damage $4,000

One OF the most stubborn fires
that the Waterville fire department
has had to fight for some time oc-
CURED yesterday morning when the
large four tenement house, known as
the old LaFountain house at the
corner of Gold and Water streets
caught fire yesterday morning about
8 o'clock. An alarm was rung in
from box 80 at 9:15 and by the time
that the trucks arrived at the scene
smoke was pouring from every part
of the long. rambling building.
The fire had gained its start on
the second story from undetermined
causes and had worked its way in
between the partition and floors.
Dense smoke made it difficult for the
firemen to find the blaze and many
of the partitions and floors had to
be torn away before it could be
fought effectively. Very little wat
err was used in fighting the fire, the
two 40 gallon chemicals being used
until, at a time when the fire was
nearly out water from one line of
hose was used in the attic. The oc-
cupants of the house were not at
home at the time.
The loss is not large. The entire
house was permeated with the dense
smoke and considerable work will be
required in repairing the damage
done the partitions and floors. Esti-
mates on the loss varied but $4,000
seems to be a conservative one.

PROPOSE SALE
Continued from Page one)

OF the shipping board from seven
members to three and continuance in
some form of the fleet corporation, un-
der the control of the secretary of
commerce or secretary of marine, to
supervise operation Of the essential
steamship services pending liquida-
ton. =
Other recommendations include: Ex-
tension of the coastwise laws to the
thlllpp1nes when the president deems
II eXpedlent; exemption of coast trade
from Panama Canal tolls; freedom of
SHIPS to transfer to foreign registry
except in national emergency; reduc-
ton in Panama Canal tolls; extension
or the present construction loan fund
with the stipulation that vessels so
benefited must remain in foreign
trade until loans. are repaid.
The government is asked to relin-
quish to privately owned American
ships the carriage of government sup
plies and troops in time of peace and
to convey all government officials and
employees and all government cargoes
in such vessels.
The secretary of commerce, the
postmaster general, the secretary of
the navy, the director of the budget
ana one or Two Other american cltl-
zens experienced in shipping would
constitute one Of the agencies recon-
mended. To the second of these egen-
cies the chairman of the shipping
board would be added.
These groups would determine the
extent of the services to be carried on
by passenger and by cargo ships, es-
sential to national defence and promo
ton of foreign trade, and also the
amount of direct national aid neces-
sary to maintain the mail, passenger
and cargo service of the merchant ma
rine in overseas trade.
The associations recommended that
laid-up ships, for which the govern
ment has no present nor prospective
use, be sold for scrapping and that the
better vessels be preserved until they
can be sold to American citizens.
All present shipping board services
that are deemed essential. they insist,
should be operated by American citi-
zens.
The associations express the belief
that if these recommendations be car
ried out the maritime interests of the
United States will have assumed an
Importance that will justify the es-
tablishment of a department of marine,
headed by a secretary who would be
a member Of the cabinet.
