The new bomber, he said in an
interview, has been tested success

He added that the increase in
Britain's aircraft output per week
since May II, the day after Ger
many invaded Holland and Belgium,
has been 81 per cent more planes

per week, 1856 per cent more planes

Lord Beaverbook was unable to

1t was suggested to him that this
would indicate an ability to carry
about $4,000 troops, since some car
rier planes are known to be able
to carry So men. Lord Beaverbrook
nodded assent.
The Minister said it would be
about correct to say that two-fifths
of Germany's planes are combat or
front-line planes.

Kent's Work as Code Clerk
Revealed Back of His Arrest

between the American Embassy in
London and the State Department
during most critical period of the
war were being perused by a man
whose loyalty proved subject TO
doubt.
Kent was, in fact, arrested by
military intelligence officers in the
presence of the American Ambassa-
dor and has been detained since
then. His arrest directly preceded
the wholesale cleanup of fifth COL
umnists in this country.
The Ambassador. who had sus-
pected leak at the American EN-
bassy for several months, finally
tracked down the young code clerk
and reported he found enough in
eliminating evidence to justify his
subsequent detention.

CONSTRUCTION WORK HERE
TO BE UNUSUAL IN 1910
POstoffice, Community Building
And Milk Station Are On List

Construction work in Oakland this
year will reach most unusual pro-
portions, providing present and con-
templated plans are carried through.
Almost certain to be constructed are
the Postoffice building for which $780,
600 has been appropriated by the fed
eral government; Community build
ing for which $4,000 will be spent,
the town providing not over $4,000
of>this amount; and the milk receiving
station of the Carnation company,
which is expected to cost $4,000.
Then under consideration are. con-
templated clubhouse at the municipal
golf course, to be constructed by WPA
labor, at a cost of about $4,000, the
town to provide in the neighborhood
of $4,000; a garage building planned
by Pritts Brothers garage; homes by
Harland Ridder and H. c. Riggs, and
possibly a number of others.
These plans would mean the ex-
penditure of almost quarter of a mil
lion dollars in the building industry
alone and would be boost to practi-
cally every other business.
The result will be bigger and bet
ter Oakland.

STOLEN CAR RECOVERED;
DAMAGED CONSIDERABLY
Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Harvey, Near
Oakland, Return From
Parkersburg

Mr.. and Mrs Earl Harvey, Of near
Oakland, returned from Parkersburg,
w. Va, last Friday, having gone there
last Thursday to claim Mr.. Harvey's
automobile which was stolen from il
front of the Oakland High school
building on Friday, February Is.
The car was stolen by three fugi-
tives from the National Training
school in Washington, D. c., who
were arrested early Saturday morning
in Parkersburg after a wild ride over
icy roads.
Mr.. Harvey said his car had been
more seriously damaged than was first
suspected. The three youths had at
tempted to rob a gas station between
Clarksburg and Parkersburg, he said,
and the proprietor had awakened, and
when they had failed to heed his COM
mand to halt he fired three shots which
penetrated the car and narrowly
missed the occupants.
They also collided with a taxicab
in Parkersburg, and when police
stepped up to the car the occupants
suddenly darted away and were cap
tured only after a wild chase over
several miles of twisting road.
The youths were identified as John
M. Wade, 16, Curtis B. Licke, 16, both
of Tulsa, Okla, and Stanley Dryden,
10, of Baltimore. A description of the
automobile had been sent out from the
sheriff's office in Oakland when it
was reported stolen and Maryland
police in turn broadcast the theft to
West Virginia and Pennsylvania
authorities.
The three youths were from among
thirteen who escaped from the train
ing school several days previous.
Most of them have been recaptured,
it has been reported.

THE REPUBLICAN BEGINS
ITS SIXTY-FOURTH YEAR
TOday's Issue Marks Start On
Another Milestone Of History

Birthday anniversaries have habit
of arriving, for. newspapers as well
as for individuals, and even those born
on February 49, The Republican now
enters upon it's sixty-fourth year, hav-
ing concluded So with the last issue.
The paper was founded February
%, 1877, the first number appearing
the following Saturday, March a,
1877.
At the time of the founding of The
Republican by the late Captain James
A. Hayden, there was also being pub
lished in Oakland The Garrett County
Herald, with Hiram P. Tasker, editor,
but it ceased publication shortly there
after. The Republican, therefore, is
the oldest newspaper in the county
that is active today.
1t is not only the oldest newspaper
but is the earliest established business
enterprise in the county that has gone
on through the years uninterruptedly.
The paper has had but two owners,
the founder and the present publisher,
the latter taking charge on July A.,
1890, issuing his first paper on his 21st
birthday anniversary. He will have
rounded out so years of continuous
service by July, 1910.
