ANNUAL REPORT OF
CHIEF OF ORDNANCE
Washington. l>ce. II.—Sonic Idea
it the gnat work confronting the
navy when the United Slates entered
ii • war Is set forth In the annual re
port of Hear Admiral llarle. chief of
ordnance, made public today. To
this bureuu alone fell the task of ex
pending during a single year more
than half a Milton dollars for guns
,>nd equipment.
In dlseusstng seemtnglv Impossible
problems. Admiral Karle disclosed
that the navy was enlled upon not
only to arm all American war craft,
auxiliaries and the merchant fleet,
hut to provide armament for British.
I'reneh, Italian. Belgian and Uusstan
hipping. Guns of 1 to 5 Inch cali
ber wrere at a premium and the do
tti md for them was ten times great
ei than tha existing capacity tor
manufacture. A total of 937 craft of I
all kinds, not in the regular navy, '
were armed between July ], 1917 and i
July 1, 1918.
Cun mounts formed a separate
knotty problem. The facilities ere- ;
ated for their manufacture met all
urgent needs. The Linderman Steel
and Machine company of Muskegon,
Mich., the report stated, delivered 360
mounts for 4-inch guns 28 days
ahead of schedule and established a
record for other* manufacturers.
Only brief reference was made to
two of the most striking accom
plishments of the bureau, the design
ing. building and shipping of the 14
incli rifles on railway mounts which
effectually hammered the German
rear positions in the closing weeks of
the war. and the development of a
tractor mount for rifles up to 7-inch
caliber from which the guns could
be fired. This latter achievement,
never attained by the allied armies,
the report said. was hailed in
Prance with even greater satisfac
tion than wan the arrival of the first
of the 14-inch monsters comprising
the naval batteries.
Failure to obtain a sutlicient sup
ply of depth bombs used by Ameri
can destroyers, hampered efficient
operations against enemy submar
rines. By strenuous efforts, however,
the shortage was overcome and be
fore war ended, American destroy
ers were using depth bombs freely,
and this the report said, aided in
curbing German submarine opera
tions in the closing months of the
war.
The fire control equipment used on
American war craft is on a par with
that in any navy. Admiral Earle said,
and range finding and sighting de
vices of the fleet have been greatly
improved.
"The efficiency of our gunnery as
sisted by these new instruments,” he
added, “should find our ships in the
next sea battle at least equal in gun
nery to any enemy.”
The first of the 16-inch, 50-caliber
main battery rifles for new dread
naughts has been tried out, with a
success that exceeded expectations,
fixing this monster of naval warfare
as “an exceptionally splendid piece
of ordnance.” Another new naval
weapon, an 8-inch bomb-throwing
howitzer, is being delivered to de
stroyers or larger craft.
News has be<^j received In Van
Buren of the sudden death in New,
Orleans of Rev. Matthew Thouvenin,
who was principal of St. Mary’s Col
lege from 1905 to 1917. He was 63
years old. j
H. A. Oliver of Bath has a flock of
14 pullets that were set May C2 last,
hatched .Tune ‘14 and began laying
eggs Friday, Dec. 6. which tops all
records it is claimed for pullets. Mr.
Oliver brought one of the eggs up
town Friday to prove his statement.
which he exhibited with pardonable
pride

issued its twelfth bulletin, dealing
i with Pensions for Public School
Teachers.
This bulletin describes in detail ev
ery pension system for teachers i:t
the 1 Tilled States and gives reasons
for believing that the great majority

CHANGES AND
RUMORS ABOUT
OLD 2d MAINE
The Houllon Times has the following
interesting article concerning the 103*1
Infantry, formerly the old 2.1 Maine In
fantry:
Of the four infantry regiments that
went to Prance as the component parts
of the 26th division, but one retained its
colonel. Frank M. Hume of this town,
who up to a short time ago was'in com
mand of the lOCd infantry.
There have been manv changes in the
officer personnel of this regiment, but
many of these have been by promotion,
and none, so far as known, savors of
discrimination. The regiment has
served consistently ana well and up ,o
July IS had not had a man taken pris
oner. Its losses had been especially
heavy in killed and severely wounded.
Lt.-Col. Frank B. Cummings was sent
home and retired soon after the regi
ment went over seas. Maj. John A.
Hadley, commanding the 1st battalion,
was transferred to the divisional staff
and now commands a battalion of the
Pith infantry. Maj. Walter J. Mayo is
still, to far as known, with the regi
ment. as in Maj. William H. Southard,
who led a battalion at Chateau-Thierry
and was twice wounded leading it.
* -apt. and Adjt. Frank E. Drake was
made chief of operation on Gen. Cole's
staff, and was returned to the United
States some time ago, made a major
and assigned to some American camp
(Devens).
1 radically all the company com
manders of the lu3d have been chang
ed. Capt. Percy A. Hasty of A com
pany. gassed severely on the Chernin
des-Pames, has been in a replacement
camp. Capt. Spaulding Bisbee of B
company has been made regimental in
telligence officer. Capt. r.oland G.
l'indley of C. company, severely wound
ed July 21 at Torcy, is now in a base
hospital at Jlahway, X. .1. Capt. James
W . Hanson of I> company was made a
major and succeeded Hadley in com
mand of the 1st battalion. Capt- Charles
H. Xorton. F company, is still In
1'ranee, and one report has him acting
as major. Capt. Saraue' H. Edes. G
company, has been transferred, latest
information being that he had a staff
appointment. <’apt. Walter C. Ellis, II
company, returned home with Ht.-Col.
Cummings last winter. Capt. Albert E.
Andrews, K company, is still with the
regiment, so far as known, and Capt.
l.lson A. IIosford, 1, company, also, or
<!sc on temporary detached duty; the
latter acted as major in one engage
ment. < apt. Arthur Ashworth of the
machine gun company was promoted
to major in command of 103d machine
gun battalion, succeeding Maj. Hatched
of Khode island, invalided borne. Capt
Car! II. Tobey. headquarters company,
was made divisional personnel officer,
and ( apt. Albert Greenlaw, supply,
divisional supply officer.
IJeut. Irvin E. Foane. commanding
1 o. I,, who has been made a captain
since the listing of the casualties, was
wounded under the left eye in the Bat
tle of the Marne July 2. He has hern
cited for bravery three times by Maj.
Clarence E. Edwards and has been
recommended to receive the French
war cross for distinguished service.
Sent 3 nek as Instructors
l.ts Gehard, Jutras, Glover and
i.'adie have been killed. His. -Metcalf.
Bowen. Savers and Wilson have been
made captains, Metcalf succeeding To
bey. Wilson succeeding Edes and Bow
en succeeding Xorton. Sayers was
transferred to Cole's staff, made u*cap
tain and sent to this country to instruct
recruits. The regimental chaplain,
Capt. Moody, son of Dwight T,. Moody,
was made divisional chief of chaplains
and recently was sent home. Second
lieutenant Charles it. Cabot has been
made a captain and is still with the
regiment.
More than n dorm lieutenants of tlie
m"'l infantry have been sent back as in
structors and their places taken by
graduates of officers' schools, some of
them non-coms ’ of the regiment. At
least six second lieutenants were mad*
firsts, two now commanding companies.
The first replacement draft was of Ohio
tnops. tin; second of Californians and
a later one of Southerners; Several
Southern and Western lieutenants
Joined t’e regiment, who were sent on
in charge of men for .he ranks. As for
casualties, one company started in the
general attack at Chateau-Thierry July
!® wittl 'ice officers and 23_’ men. Twelve
men reached tlie objective, in command
of a lieutenant, "he rest all w-e cas
ualties—1'fi killed.
J ne reeling was excellent between the
officers and men of the old id Maine
ami those of the 1st New Hampshire,
which units formed the 103d Infantry.
The two state regiments were brigaded
together on the border at I.aredo, Tex ,
and the merger was a happy one. and
made for the extreme loyaltv of offi
cers and men to Col. Hume and the new
regimental organization.
The following had its origin in the
Boston Globe:
Col. Frank Jr. Hume, of the 103d In
fantry, 26th division, formerly the 2d
Maine now in France, has been relieved
of his command and sent to the rear,
according to a letter from Frank P.
•Sibley, the correspondent of the Boston
Globe with the 20th di-ision. writing
under date of Nov. 6th.
Col. Hume is succeeded by T.ieut. '"ol
fassius M. Dowell, who has been oper
ations officer of the division.
An extract from a letter written by
Corp. D. ,J. Jott of Houlton to Mrs \
T. Smith of that town has the following
paragraph:
"We have lost most of our officers:
Capt. Ilosford has been commissioned
major. < apt. Doans is commanding the
first Battalion. Lieut. Cabot has been
commissioned captain and is command
ing Company M. General Edwards has
Kone back to the United States, and
Col. Hume has been relieved of his
command and is going to some other
outfit. Before we get tl.rough we Ivill
have all National army officers and the
- ational Guard sure love the National
army men. Oh. yes they do."

DANDRUFF MAKES
HAIR FALL OUT
A Small Bott’e of "Oandenne Keeps
Hair Thick, Strong. Beautiful
Girls! Try This! Doubles Beauty of
Your Hair in a Few Moments
Within ton minutes after an appli
cation of Danderine you can not linil
a single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be
after a few weeks’ use, when you see
new hair, tine and downy at first
yes—-but really new hair—growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. .Vo
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect is
amazing—your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap
pearance of abundance: an incom
parable lustre, softness and luxuri
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter, and
prove that your hair is as pretty
and soft as any—that it has been neg
lected or injure by careless treat
ment—that’s all—you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it. if
you will just try a little Danderine.
