CT. His home was . short distance from Mark Twain's summer camp on Lower Saranac Lake and the elder Rice was friend of the famed author. Rice designed the Adirondack guide boat" lightly planked, sspeedy, double proved rowboat now famous among North woods guides and sportsmen.
 Anne said she has been in dan- ger only once in her career-as she stood & deer watch point" on Ampersand mountain near Saranac Lake.
 T was watching a deer make its way down a little valley. As the animal was opposite me, @ hunter stepped out of a thicket on the other side and leveled his gun.
 Realizing my danger, I kept still but waved my hands so the hunter would see me and the buck wouldn't be frightened away.
 "He lowered his rife and walked of, apparently ashamed of being so careless" she added. But he didn't even speak to me or offer any sort of excuse"

learning the new art of attacking all kinds of shipping, even fisher men and lightships.
 AIR BOMB
 ACCURACY INCREASES And not forever will targets larg- CT, and more human, escape. The mass air attacks the world has dreaded are being prepared in the buzzing airplane factories of both sides.
 But in this tense period they are making fewer bombers than fast, agile fighters. For without the air of fighting planes on long raids, the slower, reavier bombers have looked like the Red Army fighting the Films. Most fighters until now have lacked the endur- ance to serve as escorts. To pro- duce a new type of fighter, both sides are high -pressuring = the Germans on the new Messer- schmitts and Junkers: the British on equally new Spitfires.
 Watch the coming American made bomber conveys" for they and American planes generally may prove decisive. Important Washington news is that Britain alone wants more than 12,000 American planes although al- ready our factories have sent or will send to her and France in 1940, five thousand. This will further develop our aviation in- duStry at a time when some au- thorities think already our army and navy have gone in for too many planeS-and when indeed,

mistaking companions or others fol game if he's sportsman. He'd first make certain he was shooting legal game.
 Any shooting accident where ( person is mistaken for game ani- mal is done by a potential game law violator," she reiterated. Such 8 person would shoot blindly at 6 movement of leaves, or a noise apparently not caring what, caused it.,
 "He wouldn't wait to see his tar- get-some reason for shooting. The principle of shoot first and inves- tigate later often ends in tragedy
 Carried in PackbasAet
 Miss sRice should know-she was virtually reared in packbasket Now in her early sos, she fre- quently was toted into the Saw tooth Range trails on camping trips as yormgster. She rode with provisions in her brother Fred's packbasket, slung over his shoul- ders. An avid woodsmen and boat builder like his father, Fred taught Anne woodcraft while she learned her ABC's. Her first hunting ex- periences came when she chased squirrels with a slingshot and set box traps for small animals, she said.
 After graduation from the local high school in 1924 she studied sculpture at the National Academy of Design in New York. Now she models woodland animals in her ceramics studio when she isn't va- cationing on Q mountain-side or guiding a hunting party. She has held her state guides license three years.
 Miss Rice brought down 8 deer with her high-powered 38-55 cali Der rifle when she was 8 15-year- old high school student.
 Teachings of other woodSmen and her own experience have given her one advantage over men and two cardinal tips for hunters. She said one advantage is superior ability as an outdoor cook and knowledge of proper wood for quick campdres. Her. warnings: Hunters always should carry 6 well-filled waterproof match box. They never should point gun at anything they don't intend to shoot, includ- ing other members of their party.

VESSELS NAME : WILL BE CHANGED
Deutschland to Become Luetzow - Hitler
 Orders Change

Berlin, Jan. 25.-(UP)-Adolf Hit Ter ordered the name of the Ger man pocket battleship Deutschland changed to Luetzow today, planning to give the name Deutschland to & larger ship"
 It will be necessary also to change the name of the new 10000 ton cruiser Luetzow, whose name the Deutschland takes. What name the cruiser will be given was not an- nounced.
 The assumption was that Ger many might give the name Deutsch- land to a 35,000 ton battleShip Ger many's full naval program is not known But she has launched two 35 ,000 ton ships, Bismarck and Tir- pitz, is building third and is be- lieved to have laid down or to be building fourth
 The Deutschland is one of the three famous pocket battleships, of 10000 ton cruiser displacement but with the features of battleship, WA11C44 1C4Alc41y Ou4G W44CA1 ucI navy was restricted by the Versailles treaty to a total of 100000 tons, and to ships totaling not more than 1O,- 900 tons
 The 10000 cruiser Luetzow listed as of normal cruiser type with 5.9 inch guns as against the 11-inch guns of the pocket battleships, was launched at Bremen July l, 1889.
 The high command in its con- nlunique today announced that the Deutschland which has been en- gagged in trade war in Atlantic waters since the beginning of the war, returned to home port some time ago."
 The other remaining pocket bat tleship Is the Admiral Scheer, which likewise has been credited with some raiding.
 The Admiral Graf Spec, third of the pocket battleships, was scuttled by its crew at the entrance to Mon- tevideo harbor, Uruguay, Dec. IT, 1889, when it was ordered to leave after having been forced to take shelter by three British cruisers.

"Only a few weeks more" = the portent from sources official and unofficial is the same. What we see today above ground is simply the War God Mars trying out new weapons that down below his mill lions of Vulcans are forging.
 FOR THE
 MOMENT, DEFENSE
 The. Germans are well equipped for land warfare and need mostly weapons of sea and air magnetic mines, submarines. land planes and seaplanes.
 The British, hastily training and arming improvised armies, need everything = but notably anti- tank guns and anti-aircraft equip ment. Both sides need new planes.
 For the time the Franco-Brit- ish forces will use these weapons mostly in defense.
 Germany's tentative thrusts of recent weeks may indicate the manner in which she will use her full might in the future. Her magnetic mines that tied up the Port of London probably were experimental forerunners of many more. Her first wave of sub- marines, now rolled back, will be followed by other waves of sub marines dashing not just against a single ship but against hither- to empregnable conveys. With them will dash more and more of the airnlaneS that now are busy

REVOLUTION IN GERMANY LOOMS
Majority of People Love FreedOm-Hitler Signs
 Own Death Warrant

The day that Hitler went to war he signed his own death warrant according to Max Brauer, exileG former mayor of Altoona, Germany who spoke to large audience at the Waterbury Community Forum at the Womne's club last night. He said that the day is not far distant when a revolution will start in Ger many and that will be the end of Hitler.
 Dictatorship cannot go on "he added" The majority of the German people love their freedom"
 He pointed out that the situation in Germany today is entirely diff ferent than 1t was during the world war and that the German people lack enthusiasm in the present set- up. He paid great tribute to Finland for the valiant battle it is fighting at the present time.
 The former German mayor as- serted that the United States is the finest country in the whole world as he warned against dictatorship.
 Keep your freedom he said. Freedom must march on. Dictator ships must go."
 MT. Braeur was loudly applauded at the completion of his address.

But soon we shall know. For the Germans will attack Britain with mines and submarines and, above all, with airplanes of which they have now probably fifteen thousand. They will attack not only British warships but es- pecially the commerce that is Eng lands very life and not only merchant vessels but the ports that already they have photo- graphed.
 Factory towns? London? Parisp France? Why not? For this massed air attack will usher in the real total war, which means the use without stint or limit of every possible means to crush resistance of enemy nations; not fighting men alone, but civilians, women and children.
 In this total war Hitler will have staked his all to win against the counter attack of the Allies, and of their super-ally, General Time.

Pray here, forever. For every soul that nves For all the beauty of the gardens bloom, And Natures primal love that always gives A poet sympathy in Gods great room. Where sunsets rose has painted hills anew, And retributon's tears transfgure night Into glorious morrow see it through ... Beside the glowing hearth hope gives new light. Here wind and water speak to comfort me- see the guls before the coming day; The world is waiting for the song to be ... For better man nobler way. Don't let my dreams disturb your slumber Lnere- The answer will come soon to my own prayer.
