Dam Had No' Value "Mr. Carpenter's testimony was clear that the dam was worth nothing; that it had no market value at the time it was acquired by the city. Of course, it was not appraised by anyone. "The $20,000 paid for water rights was in reality paid for the land, as the so called 'water rights' ere non existent." During protracted hearings by the viewers, witnesses for the city put the value of the Coy lands at 822,000, and those called by Miss L.oy estimated its value at as much as $400,000.

Counsel for Miss Coy inserted a specific claim of $6500 for timber removed from the Coy tract, charging that: "Several months before the city condemned, by an unwarranted arbitrary exercise of power it entered upon the land through a contractor which it employed and commenced to strip the standing timber. "This timber and the proceeds of the sale thereof it retained it self or gave to its contractor. It has not and cannot justify its unlawful act nor has it offered to compensate the owner for the timber taken." The viewers are S. Duncan Wylie, Howard E. LeVan, and Daniel E.

Just four substantial producers of the type of smokeless powder used in shells have supplied the peacetime needs of the army and navy for years.

York Youth Wielding Ax Demands Family Larder Defendant Is Accused of Threatening Parents His Room Found Littered With Foodstuffs York, Dec. 21. Accused of threatening his naren ts with an ax and demanding of them the family larder of food siuns, arrou namoers, ia, was arrested yesterday bv Deputy Sheriff Curtis Forry. Today's War Picture (Continued From Page 1) Northern Albanian port, and Bari on the Italian coast. And never a ripple from an Italian warship, or roar of a warplane's propeller.

The only indication of any movement of the Italian navy came today in a report by the high command that Fascist ships had attacked the Ionian coast of. Greece, scoring heavy hits. Details were lacking. The implications of this mystery of the Adriatic are even more startling than the uninterrupted cruise of the British unit. His Majesty's Admiralty wisely re frains from drawing conclusions, but British commentators say that the Italians have conceded dom ination of the Adriatic as well as the Mediterranean, and have sought a hide out to escape their enemy.

Whether those conclusions may be accurate or not, it strikes me we shall be well advised to watch developments a bit before mak ing up our minds. Should it prove to be a fact that the Italians have abandoned control of their Adria tic to the British, then we would have an entirely new situation, something like this: With communications between Italy and Albania severed, the Fascists would have to abandon that Balkan country, and it's difficult to see how they could evacuate their already shattered army from Albania. Thus the Romans would have written off their at tempted conquest of Greece as a catastrophe, and would have sur rendered a highly strategic Bal kan base of operations to the enemy. The entire east coast of Italy would be virtually under the muzzles of British guns. You could make anything you wanted out of that.

The great state of, Yugoslavia, which lies on the Adriatic just across from Italy, would lose some of its fears of invasion by the Axis powers. For the first time the way would be open for the British to aid the Yugoslavs should the occasion arise. This situation would tend to give the British a still greater foot hold in the Balkans, providing de fense to meet any attempt by the Axis to force the Dardanelles and reach the Near East, and afford ing a base for possible offensive operations against Germany through the Balkans. Remember that the British are preparing for a land offensive against Nazidom, and it might be through the Balkans quite as well as across west ern Europe. The naval correspondent of the Britjsh Press Association reports: With the Adriatic sea now open to us, important develop ments may be expected.

That would seem to be a con servative forecast, but I emphasize again that my article is spec ulative, being based on what I prefer not to accept as an established fact without further proof. Having said that, I may add that if the British do indeed control the Adriatic, then Italy is in a 'desperate position. The word "desperate" is used advisedly. My dictionary defines desperate" as "leaving no or little room for hope." MRS. CLARA D.
