went into effect last Tuesday. Patrols
and converted submarine chasers of
the dry fleet bobbed along through
the fog after the departing craft, to
make sure their movements were sea-
ward and not merely to new positions
on the row. 1t was not known where
the contraband carriers were bound.
With the arrivals of the fog-the
blockade up to today was conducted
with all conditions favorable to the
government forces-the guardsmen
increased their forces, a dozen patrols
and few more chasers, some of them
with new engines capable Of 35 knots

zone.

flowers and cooperating with people
in the State who are interested in
kepeing their lands appearing nicely
through the development of flower
gardens.
Considerable interest was manifest
at the conference in the contest plan
for identifying Camden, which is
made possible through the generosity
of Edwin Box of Philadelphia, who
has summer home at Camden. Mr.
Box offers prize of 500 for the best
kept lawn in Camden, with $50 for a
second prize; and 500 for the best
kept flower garden, with a second
prize of $50. This plan was describ-
ed by Col. E. A. Robbins of Camden
secretary of the Maine Development
Association.
1t is considered possible that some
such plan may be worked out for
arousing interest in the campaign to
bring Maine Beautiful" into being.

as No. 1O2 under the new schedule of
marking.
Greetings:
1t has developed at a recent con-
ference that sufficient money will
not be available to permit this road
being included in the 1925 program:
This is as disappointing to me as it
is to you who have waited so long
for this essential improvement of
conditions, no other equally as large
and populous section in this state is
so devoid of steam, electric or i'm
prove trunk line highways. No other
new development. not even the Bath
bridge, is as vital to the future of
Central Maine.
Another conference will be had with
the members of the highway commits
sion some time next week, at which
time I propose to offer free gravel
from privately owned deposits which
are to be found along this route, also
an ample supply of rocks for crushing
and for filling purposes, and the free
use of such land as they may need
for the placing of rock crushers and
camps and storage of equipment and
trucks, provided ways can then be
found to make possible the starting Of
this work this summer.
There is reason to believe that If
such pledges can be had in sufficient
numbers to assure the department of
an ample supply of some of the basic
materials, it will have an important
bearing upon the members Of the COM
mission.
Will any person who has such de-
posts or information of them, which
they are willing to give to the State
and which are within economical haul
ing distance of this road, please write
don't telephone) so that a compre-
hensive schedule may be made up and
submitted to the highway officials at
once, as by this means there is still
some hope to make it possible to have
some of the important filling of the
worse places and some strengthening
of the bad curves completed this sum-
mer and an ample supply of crushed
rock ready for the following year.

Germans Envi0us
Of American Gold

Berlin, April ~ IA. T. by mail)-
German hotelkeepers in the smaller
resort centers would like to have it
known among tourists that they
have lowered their rates. The coun-
try needs foreign money to help keep
exchange at par and to lessen the
burden of reparation payments. and
the gold left behind by foreign visit
tors helps to. these ends. Hence
rates at many hotels have been re-
duced, and published tariffs have
been issued which make 1t possible
for touring companies to resume
business in Germany on much the
same basis that they worked before
the war.
Visa rates on American passports
also are lower, and the tax on for
eigners has been removed in prac-
tically all German cities. There
have also been changes In police
regulations which makes It unnec-
essary for travellers to appear per-
sonally before police officials to reg
ister
Railway rates are high II compare
ison with many European countries,
but there has been a decided i'm
provement of the service. Taxicabs
and the hire of motor cars still are
relatively expensive.
Z Generally speaking. however, the
foreign traveller is now welcome In
Germany, and has little difficulty in |
making his way around in comfort,
even without knowledge Of the Ian
guage. Sightseeing autos are OPT
