Gillespie Co. at Morgan by the blow ing up of many more tons of Trinit rotoluol stored there in magazines and warehouses had virtually ended, and this afternoon, after nearly 42 hours of explosion and fire. the work of recovering and identifying the dead was begun. In a report sent to Washington to night, the military authorities in creased their estimate of the killed from 3 Oto tt4. The number of :njur ed, it was said, would not be less than 150. Of the 35 bodies which tonight had been taken from the ruins and brought here, only live had been identified. One was that of Roy Hick erson. son of William H. Hickerson, a New York furniture manufacture, who recently retired from his fa the's business to enter upon war work as inspector at the Gillespie plant. He was killed a few hours af ter he reported at Morgan. Not a moment, it was announced, would .be lost in reconstructing the j plant and workmen’s quarters with j particular attention to lessening the danger of explosions. Tile military authorities have ordered that refugees from Perth Amboy he al lowed to return to their homes, but res idents of South Amboy are being held in the towns which offer them shelter. Red Cross officials late today started to make a survey of that town, evacuate! with almost the first explosion Friday night, to see that danger from leaky gas pipes was removed before the refu gees were permitted to return. Mean while livestock remaining on the farms is being cared for by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Early this morning marines and coast guards made an inspection of the plant before any searching or inspecting par ties were allowed to enter the stricken area. It was reported that only four of the 13 units were standing. These four, situated on the opposite side of Cheese quake creek to the lire, had just been j completed and had not yet been put into use. The magazines and storehouse were untouched and four barges load'd with high explosives and moored in the creek were said to be out of danger. It was learned that a worse disaster was averted by the action of Major H. I., Armstrong and Captain W. W. Wat son, army aviators, who dropped bombs from an airplane onto the banks of the creek, opening a channel through which water poured out, flooding the maga zines. The first searching party to enter the plant was Red Cross unit of four am bulances. all driven by women. The scene was a replica of No Man’s Land. WThere buildings once had stood remain ed only twisted iron. Great trees were uprooted or cut d-wn by shells. Tele graph poles had been pierced as many as four times by the flying missiles and resempled grotesque flutes stuck into the ground. Strands of wire lay in the ditches and by the roadside were great trucks and automobiles, battered or burned. BIG GUNS OF U. S. HARRASSING HUNS VERDUN SECTOR With the American Army North- i west of Verdun, Oct. 5—(By the As sociated Press) Big American guns are again firing tonight upon Dun Sur-Meuse and various other points which the Germans are using as headquarters of as railroad centers. The Germans were reported bringing up troops in the region of Cunel, and heavy cannon began pounding this region. American forces holding Fays wood received by airplane this after noon citations issued this morning commending them for their gallant conduct in taking the wooid, in spite of stiff German resistance. Thous ands of copies were droped by aviat ors at several front-line headquarters I and they were then distributed among the soldiers.

Allied Arms Still Registering Victories While Berlin Crowd Howls for Peace Scant Attention to Latest Hun Offer WILL LISTEN TO PEACE OFFER IF GERMANY SHOWS SINCERITY Newest Proposal Not Yet Received by Washington in Official Form— No Authorized Statement As to How It Will Be R e g a r d e d—Be lieved to Be One of Series of Offers in Effort to Get As Good Terms As Possible in Face of Approaching Defeat. Washington, Oct. 6.—Germany’s newest peace offer—proposing an armistice while President Wilson considers and conveys to the Allies a proposal of the basis of terms laid down by the President himself, had not reached Washington in official form tonight and there was, there fore, no authorized statement of how it was regarded by the United States. Plainly, however, it was recognized as the next step in the continuing efforts of the German statesmen to save something front the wreckage of their dream of world domination— the step which might be expected from a losing trader who makes his proposition, has it rejected, and of fers his next best, each time com ing nearer to the demands of his ad versary, meanwhile endeavoring to hold out in the hopes of getting the best terms he can. It hardly is taking a position in advance of the American government to say 'hat if the present position signifies Germany's unqualified ac ceptance of the four principles of peace laid down by President Wilson in his fourteenth of July speech at the Tomb of Washington, it will be considered. If it does not, if it is an acceptance “in principle”, with saving diplomatic language paving the way for quibbling around a council table, it will not be con sidered. "These terms, accepted by all the Allies as their own, the President compressed into a single sentence: "A reign of law, based upon the con sent of the governed, and sustained by the organized opinion of man kind.” They provide for the destruc tion, or reduction to virtual impo tence of any arbitrary power, caoable of disturbing the peace of the world, the settlement of every question of the basis of the interest of the people concerned, and in effect a league of nations to enforce peace. If in the offer of Prince Maximilian, Germany is willing to accept these terms and the remainder of the world is satisfied that he speaks not alone but with the military masters of Ger many in acquiescence, the next logi cal step will be the withdrawal of every German soldier from every foot of occupied territory. From that point the Allies might begin to test the sincerity of Germany's willing ness to conform to the world-peace preserving. No one in Washington even so much as gives thought to any pro posal that the victorious troops of Great Britain, France, Italy and the United States should halt in any armistice while a "discussion" is conducted. There might be an ar mistice of the same nature as was j given to Bulgaria—an armistice of i unconditional surrender. When Austria proposed a peace negotiation, the official view is summed up this way: Austria is breaking; that is the time to hit her hardest, not the time to talk peace. There is nothing to indicate that the view has been changed. No one l.ere doubts that sooner or later Germany is going to make a peace offer r at may be worth considering. None of the Allies wishes to assume the re sponsibility of prolonging tlie war a day longer than is necessary to in sure tlie future peace of the world. Therefore it is realized that offers of peace are not to be rejected before they are examined. Prince Maximil ian's offer with those said to be com ing simultaneously from Ausrtia and key. will go under the same acid /test which has been applied to all the (Continued on Page 4—Col. 4) NEW GERMAN CHANCELLOR OUTLINES POLICIES IN ADDRESS TO REICHSTAG KAISER’S PROCLAMATION TO TROOPS MAXIMILIAN'S ADDRESS The address of Prince Maximilian I of Baden, the new Imperial Chan- j cellor of Germany, outlining his pol- j icies of the Reichstag yesterday, fol- j lows: "In accordance with the imperial decree of September 30, the German empire has undergone a basic alter ation of its political leadership.

WILSON Amsterdam, Oct. 6.— (By the Associated Press)—The text of the I note forwarded by the Imperial German Chancellor, Prince Maxi- milian to President Wilson, through the Swiss government j follows: “The German government re- j quests the President of the United States to take in hand the restor- 1 ation of peace, acquaint all the belligerent states of this request and invite tjem to send plenipo tentiaries for the purpose of open ing negotiations.” It accepts the program set forth by the President of the United States in his mes sage to Congress on January 8, and in his later pronouncements, especially his speech of September 27 as a basis for peace negotia tions. “With a view to avoiding further bloodshed the German govern ment requests the immediate con clusion of an armistice on land and water and in the air." j FIRE DESTROYS 9 COTTAGES AT WINCHESTER, N.

The proclamation follows: "For months past the enemy with enor mous exertions and almost without pause in the fighting has stormed against your lines. In weeks of the struggle, often without repose, you have had to persevere and resist a numerically far superior enemy. Therein lies the greatness of the task which has been set for you and which you are fulfilling. Troops of all the German states are doing their part and are heroically defending the fatherland on foreign soil, hard is the task. "My navy is holding its own against the united enemy naval forces and is unwaveringly supporting the army in its difficult struggle. "The eyes of those at home rest with pride and admiration on the I deeds of the army navy. I ex press to you thanks of myself and the Fatherland. The collapse of the Ma cedonian front has occurred in the midst of the hardest struggle. In ac cord with our allies I have resolved once more to offer peace to the enemy, but I will only extend my hand for an honorable peace. We owe that to the heroes who have laid down their lives for the fatherland, and we make that our duty to our children. "Whether arms will be lowered still is a question. Until then we must not slacken. We must as I hitherto exert all our strength un wearily to hold our ground against the onslaug1 t of our enemies. "The hour is grave, but, testing in your strength and in God’s gracious help, we feel ourselves to be strong enough to defend our beloved Father land.

Officially no cognizance has yet been taken of the request of Prince Maximilian of Baden, the new German chancellor, or that of the Austro-Hungarian government for an armistice on land, on sea, and in the air and the commencement of peace negotiations, for President Wilson to whom the dual and high ly similar proposals are addressed, is not yet in receipt of them. Unofficial opinion, however, indicates that the request will fall upon deaf ears, and that no peace is possible for the Teu tonic allies except through unconditional surrender and ac ceptance to the full of the terms President Wilson has enunciated. On the battle fronts the Germans everywhere are be,ns furred to (rive g-round to the allied troops. In Belgium the enemy is gradually being pushed eastward and in anticipation of a forced final withdrawal, is con tinuing to make ready for that eventuality by removing his guns ard otherwise lessening the value of his defensive winks in the territory upon and adjacent to the nortli sea coast. To the south from Arras to the Verdun sector the Gard pressed by the British, American, Italian and liimii forces, and al though on numerous sectors they still are offering desperate resistance, they evidently are unable to do more than retard the advance of their foes. Douai, South of hens, is almost enveloped nnd Cambrni has been further endangered through the capture o Ith« village of Aubencheul Aux Bois five miles to the southeast where more than 1,000 Germans were made prisoner. Hard fighting lias taken plain mound Monthrehuin and Beaurevoir, in this vicinity where tho Gormans have brought up fresh re serves in an endeavor to keep Field Marshal Ham's non from cutting the highly important St. Quentin Le Catau mad from which they now arc but a step. Both Beaurevoir and Montbriham are now in British hands. With the Germans being defeated over wide areas by the French and Americans from Ttheims to the Argonne '.ok.si, llie Italians south of Jjion have begun an offensive which apparentlv lias as ils ol,j< tivc the finishing of the. work previously begun by the French for th- obliteration of l.a Fere and Boon. Here they have captured in storming opiartlons import ant and strongly held German positions. In the vicinity oi l.aon lonlia grations to be seen and it is not improbable that the Germans are pie paring for a withdrawal in consequence "f u,.merging movement which is being pressed against them from three sub s Through the latest operations of the French around Khcitns, the cathe dral city seems definitely liberated from the German menace, for here they have materially pressed back -he enemy. Iukewi.se eastward through Champagne to the Argonne forest the French nnd A: 01 .cans have fuu. 'it their way forward in Titanic struggles, capturing numerous villages, c ossing the Aisne canal and pursuing the enemy along the entire fronts of the Suippe and Arnes rivers, both of which hav< been crossed at several points. In the Macedonian theatre the Allied troops has, compelled the Aus trians to withdraw from the F.lbasan sector and other positions while near Vranje, Central Serbia, the French and Serbian troops have captured Austro-German held positions. Jn the latter region the enemy is retiring northward in disorder. Comment of New England Press on Latest Teuton Peace Offer Portland (M^) Press—It is a hold stroke which the hard-pressed and ter ror-stricken autocrats of Germany have made. In taking this action they are employing the same strategy which they have so frequently resorted to in fur- i thering their own interests. It cannot he denied that it may raise grave ques tions and prove an embarrassment to the Allies, who seem to be on the verge of victory. But it will not serve to fool the people wno have suffered for four J and more years from the cruel wrongs which the German autocrats have in- I ilicted upon the world. Unconditional 1 surrender must first take place. Portland (Me.) Daily Eastern Argus— Diplomacy now is but the devil's hand maiden. Force and still more force, as outlined by President Wilson, is the only j solution of the mighty problem con- j fronting the world. Until the German hordes agree to lay down their arms, until they surrender unconditionally, un til they agree to accept the decision of the Allied nations as to the terms of peace, this war must go on. Germany can have no hand or voice in the terms. The price must be paid and be paid by Germany. It must not be what Ger many wants, or desires, but what the civilized world says must be done. Manchester (X. H.) Union—The-Man chester Union takes the position that the ostensible democratization of Ger many is not real, that the whole ques tion as to what President Wilson ought to do upon this point, quoting his words of the New York speech of September 27 relative to coming to terms with government that is proved untrustwor thy, and says: ‘‘We can come to no terms with the imperial German gov ernment however It may be dressed op in the improvised garments of democra.' cy. When Germany follows the exam ple of Bulgaria and offers to treat with the Allied commander in the held, it will be time for on to listen." The Boston Post—"There is. there can he and there will he hut one answer ‘Unconditional surrender first.’ It Is im Jossihle to regard this pita lor an armis lice as anything but a epccies of trick ery cither to gain military time or to get around a peace table holding the better cards for the game." The Boston Herald-' The Austro-Ger man proposals for an armistice can have no success. An armistice would be of great, military advantage to Ger many, Austria-Hungary and Turkey. Not lor one instant should continued Oc cupation of the invaded territories be permitted. Unconditional surrender is the door to real peace negotiations." The Boston Globe—"Prince Maximilian speaks like a sincere man. It Is good that Germany can find such tnen to speak for her, but the uuestion is not of peace with Prince Maximilian alone. When lie asks for belief in Germany he must show how deep lies the founda tion of which such belief can rest. Ilia individual sincerity is not enough; we must know how far behind him that sincerity extends." The Providence Journal—"It seems fit credible that Germany should believe that her mouthings about the rights of nations are going to bring the Allies *o kiss her bloodstains and at the moment when she is fainting the Justice which comes sooner or later to those who vio late the laws of God and man.

"NOTHING could stand against the mad dash of the French and American cavalry on the Marne—the German lines gave way, broke, fled; the day was won.

Prince Maximilian is ’convinced’ that never again can there be a govern ment in Germany that is not in full ac cord with the popular representative branch and largely drawn therefrom. But who else is similarly convinced, and on what ground of reason? The minis try remains responsible to the Kaiser alone. It may as easily be at variance with the Reichstag as before.

America—to Wash ington and to Wilson. "What will Pres ident Wilson's reply be?" the people are asking and wondering now that tney know that the Central Empires, partic- f ularly Germany, are seeking the cessa tion of hostilities aiul peace througn the President of the United States. The feeling is general that the Central Em pires. bent upon the greatest gamble of all times, have attempted to bring about by one stroke the termination of their losing game by trying to seek the good offices of President Wilson as interme diary. The newspapers are unanimous in their demand for complete victory. The present peace move is sneered at. A demand is made for the entire sub mission of Germany and that the Ger mans be disarmed. Paris went to church today as never before since the opening of hostilities. In the dark days when the Germans occupied Thateau Thierry, when their bridgehead south of the Marne was like a levelled pistol at France's heart, menacing France's very life. Paris remained indoors. But today Paris sauntered out early and the churches of all denominations were till- ed to overflowing. Saint Govais church, which was damaged by a shell from the long range German gun on good Friday, had been sufficiently repaired to per mit its doors to be opened today, and worshippers flocked to the shrine, where once women and children praying for France’s liberation, were sacrificed. But if it were prayers for the dead that were sung at St. Ger vais on Good Friday, it was Te Dr ums and Hosannas of victory that floated to the Heavens today. As Paris emerged from the churches it i overflowed upon the cheerful boule vards or sought temporary abode in cafes bathed in sunshine and every where one heard no longer the fumil- iar and hopeful cry “we shall get J them.” but the satisfied and content- ed exclamation "we have got them.” j BRITISH TAKE TOWN OF FRESNOY WEST OF DOUAI London, Oct. 6.—The British troops In Sunday's fighting captured the town of Fresnoy, west of Douai, and also gained additional ground in the vicinity of Au- j bencheul-Aux-Bois, according to Field Marshal Haig's communication issued tonight.

There is now In use at the yaids one of his inventions, a working model of an attachment on a compressed air jamb to adjust to va rious heights. As the type of animal necessary for the production of large yields of milk Is entirely different from that, of beef animals, it has been impos sible to produce a breed which would combine these functions and be of superior merit for both purposes. 1 “Not the Price offered but what is offered for the Price.” _ l Judge Your Printing As YOU Do Your Business Suit v Print Shop Talk To Business Men You judge your busi ness suit on its merits— its comfort looks wear, and you usually get, in the final analy sis, just about what you pay for. r In printing you get just what you pay for but with this differ ence: The cost of a first-class job is only a small fraction more than the cost of an ordi nary job. You can buy a thou sand letter heads for $4.00 or you can pay a dollar more HERE and get a letter head that will forcibly express the standard of your business as you would have others judge it The appearance and look of quality will be inseparably a part of the perfect job—as in delible as though spun in the web. Yet it has cost you but one-tenth of a cent more a sheet; to give the best possible representation of your* 6elf and your business. Worth it? c Why, when you ac tually figure it out the argument for “cheap ness” vanishes in thin air. It becomes ridicu lous. When you have a Particular job bring it to printing headquar ters.

Allen of 215 College avenue received a telegram Saturday convey ing to her the sad news of the passing away of her husband, Elvin Leslie -Vi len, after an Illness with pneumonia, his death occurring somewhere In France, where he went last February to engage in Y. M. C. A. work. The news comes as a great shock to the fam ily and the community, for although Mr. Allen resided in Waterville for no great length of time, he had a wide circle of friends in this community, gained during his live years' stay at the Good Will I school as rrincipal, »nd his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Loren A. Allen, had made their home at 215 College avenue, the latter passing away since her son's departure for France. His wife, two sons and two daughters, Robert, Mar ha, Loren and Francis, and one brother, I I Elmer Allen, ail of Waterville, survive him. Elvin H. Allen *a: born in Hallowell I 39 years age. He attended the public j schools in Waterville. Cobum Classical institute and Colby college, graduat'ng from Colby college in 1901. He was af filiated with the A. T. O. fraternity and had a host of friends made during col lege days, who were glad to be called his friends fn after life because of the sterling character of the man. Fifteen years ago the 20th of August, Elvin Al len and Alary Stuart were united In j marriage and of this happy union 'our children were bom. who now survive. J Always having the welfare of the boy at heart and being a great friend to boys Mr. Allen was successfully engaged in T. M. C. A. work in Michigan and New i York. He was a good friend and wise counselor to the boy and this was well exemplified during his five years’ stay j at the Good Will school, where he effl ciently acted in the capacity of princi j pal. He was big brother to all the boys who received his teachings, and many a j boy will have in after life to thank Mr. Allen for things he taught them, not al j together in books, but the teachings of a life well and properly lived. Feeling the call of duty to his coun try, Mr. Allen gave up his position as principal of the Good Will schools and in February of this year left for France for Y. M. C. A. work. Shortly after ar riving in France he was transferred to the foyer du soldant work, which ts work among the French soldiers corre sponding to that of the Y. M. C. A. among the American soldiers. He made the trip overseas with Robert Bakeman, who was with him at the time of his passing away. Mr. Allen entered the work among the French soldiers at a time when the work was new and when the government had not yet put into force plans to furnish supplies for the carrying out of the work. From private sources, through the aid of his friends nnd doubtless from his own pocket, Mr. Allen secured funds for the States for sporting goods with which to teach the French soldiers the American games. He was phyieal director in the foyer t was unnecessary there wasn’t much for him to say. He did speak of the splen did work that had been done in this drive and thought if the boys over there could be any means hear the cheering and enthusiasm which was shown by all that they would even do better than they are doing now—that is, if it was possible. Cheers were given Mr. Phalen lot his encouraging speech and In his willingness to be of service to us. Cheers were also given Mr. Partridge for his eagerness in helping to make the drive a success. The report was given and the meet ing closed by singing of "The Star Spangled Banner.” the Boy Scouts who attended in a body standing at attention. Much credit should be given them for they went out to “clean up’’ the subscriptions after everyone had been solicited but they succeeded in bringing in $650. towards the money raised. At the close of the dinner a special car was hired and the members oi the Men and Women's Liberty Loan Committee went to Waterville to en courage their neighboring city to make more headway in their drive and to begin on it immediately, not to wait until the last moment. A banner was printed hearing the words "Fairfield over the top", which they carried yith them. Songs were sung ar.d cheers given for all who had helped in the work and a mest enthusiastic time enjoyed. The notices for the Methodist church for the following week are as follows: On Monday afternoon the W. V. M. S. of the Me. Church will be held at the home of Mrs. Larlee on upper Main street at 2.30 o’clock. The Epworth League prayer meet ing will be held Tuesday evening, lead by Isiah Bither. Friday after noon at the close of school there will be a meeting of the Junior League in the vestry of the church and Friday evening the regular class meeting. LISTEN TO PE ACE (Continued from Page One) others. One thought concerning the Ger man peace offer that found expres sion in many quarters tonight as that the Germans, in launching 1heir effort just at this time, probably hoped to affect the Fourth Liberty Loan by creating the idea that the end of the war is at hand. It is be lieved. however, that th'ur efforts will have the directly opposite effect. Of ficials "ho, informally, say they find no reason for thinking peace will be brought appreciably nearer by the latest developments, point to the present situation in Germany and at the battle fronts. They say there has been no real exchange of control in Germany despite the call of I’rincc Maximilian to the chancellorship, with a cabinet.including Social Dem oera'ts and c! icals; that reverses on the west front and the defection of Bulgaria brought about these super ficial changes, hut that actual power still lies with the Kaiser and his war lords who will keep any promises made on paper or around the council table only so long as they are cowed by superior military power. They emphasize the fact that the German armies still are following their old Hun-like course, destroying cities apd towns in their retreat more ruth lessly than they did in their ad vance. and showing no evidence of a realization that the day of reckon ing is at hand. The Kaiser's address to the German army and nayy announcing the peace offer probably attracted more atten tion here than the offer itself. In spite of his still arrogant tone, it was realized that this was the nearest thing to a renunciation of sabre ratting that has ever conrn from him. His admission ttiat the Macedonian front has “crumbled" was looked up on as significant and even his declar ation that “our front” will not be broken was called singularly modest from such a source. LETTING UP (Continued from Page One) 150 Cases at Portland Portland. Me., Oct. 5.—Up to the time the board of health offices closed for the day Saturday an increase of 150 influen za cases had been reported. Dr. Thomas Tetreau. the health officer, stated in the evening that although he could not giye j absolute figures this brought the total of j i cases in the city up to approximately j i 2000. In comparison with the Masaachu- j setts death rate the death /ate in this city so far has been remarkably low. and unless there are unexpected deve* opments it teems probable that local physicians will be able to care foe all the cases. The principal shortage that has been noted up to date is in nurses, and if the j epidemic spreads daily as it has 60 far done there ia a strong possibility that it; may be necessary to ask for outside as j sistance in this respect. I The Red Cross has been assisting In i every possible way to supply nurses' aids and helpers for influensa stricken households, and has a list of some SO to I call upon.

"f am convinced that the manner in which imperial leadership is now constituted with co-operation of the Keichstag is not something ephem eral and that when peace comes a government cannot be formed which does not find support in the Reichstag and does not draw its leaders there from. “The war has conducted us beyond the old multifarious and disrupted party life which made it so difficult to put into execution a uniform and decisive political wi3h. The forma tion of a majority means the forma tion of a political will anil an indis putable result of the war has been that in Germany, for. the first time, great parties have joined together in a firm, harmonious program and have thus come into position to de termine for themselves the fate of the people. •'This thought will never die, This development will never be retracted (applause) and J trust that so long as Germany's fate is ringed about by dangers, these sections of the people outside the majority parties and whose representatives do not belong to the government will put aside all that separates us end will give the fatherland what is the fatherland's. "This development necessitates an alteration of our constitution’s pro visions along the lines of the imperial decree of September 30, which shall make it possible that there members of the Reichstag who enterd the government will retain their seats in the Reichstag. A bill to this end has been submitted to the federal states and will immediately be made the ob ject of their constitution and decis ions. ’‘Gentlemen, let us,, remember the words spoken by the Kmporor on August 4, 1914, which I permitted myself to paraphrase last December at Karlsruhp: “There are, jn fact parties, but they arc ail German part ies.” (Applause.) “Political developments In Prussia, the principal German federal state) must proceed in the spirit of these words of the emperor, and the mes sage of the King of Prussia promising th^ democratic franchise must be ful filled quickly and completely* (ap plause.) I do not doubt that these federal states which still lag behind in the development of their constitu tional conditions will resolutely fola, low Prussia’s example. “For the present, as the example of all belligerent states demonstrates the extraordinary powers which a condition of siege compels, cannot b*e dispensed with, but close relations between the military and civilian au thorities must be established which will make it possible that in all not purely military questions, and hence especially as to censorship and right of assemblage, the attit.de of the civilian executive authorities shall make itself heard and that final de cision shall be placed under the chancellor's responsibility. fAp plause.) “To this end the order of the em peror will be sent to the military commanders. With September 30, the day of the decree, began a new epoch in Germany's internal history. The Internal policy whose basic prin ciples are therein laid down is of da ciding Importance on the quest too of! peace or war. “The striking force which the gov ernment has In its strivings for peace depends on whether It has be hind it the united, firm and unspeak able wit lot the people. Only when I our enemies feel that the Qdhnan people stand united hack of their chosen leader—then only can words become deeds. (Applaaee) “At the peace negotiations the' German government will use Ita ef- i forts to the end that the treaties shall contain provisions concerning the protection of labor and Insurance of laborers, which provisions shall ob-i lige the treaty—making states In In stitute in their respective lands with in a prescribed time a minimum of similar, or at least equally efficient Institution for the security of life and health as for the care of lahprers in the case of illness, accident or Inval idism. “Of direct importance are the Con clusions which the government in the brief span of its existence has been able to draw from the situation In which it finds itself and to apply practically to the situation.. More than four years of bloodshed against a world of numerically superior en emies are behind us, years full of the hardest battles and most painful sacrifices. Neverthelesswe are of strong heart and full of confident faith in our strength, resolved to bear still heavier sacrifices for our honor and freedom and for the happiness of uur posterity if it can not be other wise. (Applause) Pointing out that, thanks to the Ger man troops, the western front was un j broken, the chancellor said that duty compelled a cessation of the struggle as coon as a close of the war seemed pos sible which did not affect the nation’s honor, and proceeded: "Supported by the consent of all duly authorized per sons in the empire, and by consent of all our allies acting in concert with us I sent on the night of October 4-1 through the mediafon of Switzerland, a note to the President of the Unue.1 States, in which I requested him to take up the bringing about of peace and to communicate to this end with ail the belligerent states. “The note will reach Washington to day or tomorrow. It is directed to the President of the United States because he in his message to Congress January 8, 1218, and in his later proclamations, particularly In his New York speech of September 27, proposed a program for a general peace which we can accept as a basis for negotiations. “1 have taken this step not or.ly for the salvation of Germany and its all,e>, but of all humanity, which has been suf fering for years through the war. “I have taken it also because I be lieve the thoughts regarding the future well-being of the ration which wore pro claimed by Mr. Wilson are in accord with the general ideas cherished by the new German government and with it the overwhelming majority of our people. “So far as I am personally concerned. In earlier speeches to other assem blages my hearers will testify that the conception which l hold of a future peace has undergone no chance since 1 was entrusted with the leadership of the empire’s affairs. "1 see, hence, no distinction whatever between the national and international mandates of duty in respect ot peace. For me the deciding factor is solely that all participants shall with equal hon esty acknowledge these mandates binding and respect them, as In the ca3e with me and with the other members of our new government, and so, with an inner peace, which my clear conscience as a man and as a servant of the people gives roe, and which rests at the same time upon firm faith in this great and true people, this people capable of every devotion, and upon their glorious armed power, I wait the outcome of the first action which I have taken at the lead ing statesman of the empire, ‘•Whatever the outcome rosy be, 1 know it will find Germany firmly re solved and united either for an upright peace which rejects every seliish viola tion of the rights of others or for a j closing of the etruggle for life and death to which our people would be forced without our own fault if the answer to our rote of the powers opposed to ua should be dictated by a will to destroy us. ‘1 do not despair over the thought that this second alternative may come, I know the greatness cf the mighty powers yet possessed by our people and 1 know that the incontrovertible con viction that they were only fighting for our life ns a nation would double thesa powers (applause). I hope, however, for the sake of all mankind that tha President of the United States will re ceive our offer as we mean it. Then the door would be opened to a speedy honorable peace or justice and reconcil iation for us as well as far our oppon ents." Ail building records were broker recently at Grasmere. S.

But, their latest peace talk Is not accompanied by the proper words to make it ring true—they are but tem forlzing, to gain time and whip their shattered amles into shape and then to resume their career of lust, ra pine and slaughter. Prince Maximilian, the new Ger man chancellor, Is reported to have stated that he is willing to accept all the 14 points contained in President Wilson's statement of what the Unit ed States and Allies would demand to consider peace and wants a parley. That means loss of time for the American and Allied troops who are row advancing toward German soil with race horse speed.

A man entered a Bath store, asked for a glass of water, took a bottle from his pocket and empted the con tents in the water and drank the mix ture. He threw the carton on the floor and left. The people in the store, seeing the carton and naturally being carious as to what kind of med icine the man found necessary to take in such a manner, examined it and found he had been taking a social, lone drink of cologne. Next! For the duration of the war there will be no more meetings of the Bow doin Club of Portland. This course was decided upon at a meeting of the club Thursday noon at the Falmouth hotel as so many of the young men have entered the service that there is only a handful of the members left. The attendance last Thursday was very small and following a luncheon Rev. George C. DeMott told of the exercises that accompanied the pre sentation of a service flag to the col lege by the Bowdoin Club of Portland, and how plans had been made to keep the stars on the flag right up to date.

Emil Chagnon, a Worcester carpen ter, has Built-for himself a home of sods and birch saplings. With the studding about 24 inches apart, he nailed birch saplings on the studding, each birch or alder stick close to the other.

BY DOCTOR CORNELL Backache is perhaps the most com mon ailment from which women suf fer. Rarely do you find anybody free from it. Sometimes the cause is ob scure, but Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., a high medical authority, says the cause is very often a form of catarrh that settles in the delicate mem branes of the feminine organs. When these organs are inflamed, the first symptom is backache, accom panied by bearing-down sensations, weakness, unhealthy discharges, ir regularity, painful periods, irritation, headache and a general run-down condition. Any woman in this con dition is to be pitied, but pity does not cure. The trouble calls for Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which is a separate and distinct medicine for women. It is made of roots and herbs put up without alcohol or opi ate of any kind, for Dr. Pierce uses nothing else in his prescription. Fa vorite Prescription is a natural rem edy for women, for the vegetable growths of which it is made seem to have been intended by Nature for that very purpose. Thousands of girls and women, young and old, have taken it, and thousands have written grateful letters to Dr. Pierce saying it made them well. In taking Fa vorite Prescription, it is reassuring to know that it goes straight to the cause of the trouble. There is but one way to overcome sickness, and that is 'o overcome the cause. That is precisely what Favorite Prescrip tion is Intended to do. Send 10c for trial pkg. of Tablets. Address Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.

Miss >Iildred Weymouth of Man chester has received the following let ter from her brother, Private Chester Weymouth of Co. M, 103d Infantry: France, Aug. 20, 1918. My dear Mildred: Just a few lines today. I am feel ing fine and dandy and wish I was back with my company. Up with the company a fellow never thinks of be ing lonely, (all we think of is killing all the Germans we can), but here one gets rather tired of doing nothing. For the past week I have been working in the mess hall so that takes up a little of the time. This is what I have to do: Get up in the morning at 7.30, wash up and go down stairs to the mess hall and help bring the mess from the kitchen; j then we give it out as the line goes i by; after everyone has eaten we have j to wash off the tables and sweep up j and mop the floor. That is all wc i have to do and there are six or seven to do it. After dinner we can go out. There are moving pictures Monday, Tues- day and Saturday afternoons. I went yesterday so don’t think I shall go to- day. We can go to the Y. M. C. A. j and play billiards and checkers, and if one has money one can get cookies, chocolate, gum and things like that. In the French stores they sell or anges, plums, chocolate and some ties, apples. I suppose the apples at home are getting ripe now. Gee, I would like some Summer Sweets! How are all the folks? Is mother strong and well now? Tell her not to worry about me for I Jiave been in some warm places and come out all right, and if I got out the first time I can again. Gee, Sis, I can tell you some exciting things when I get home. I have a pistol that I took from a German whom I shot after he had tried to shoot Harvey Butler and me. He had a machine gun and was shooting at a lot of us, but I saw him after a while and then that machine gun stopped for some reason. A lit tle later I went out and got the ma chine gun and also the pistol which I kept. Well, sister, I wish I could drop In and see you a little while but as I can’t I will have to be satisfied with a lettbr. Write soon and tell me all the news. Love to all. CHESTER. Mr. C. II. Bickford of Augusta has received the following letter from his son. Corp. Charles E. Bick ford, Co. M, 103rd Infantry: Sept. S, 1918. Dear Dad: Just a few lines to let you know that I am getting along fine and hope this letter will find you the same. I received your letters of July 27 and August 7 today. I returned to mv company about two weeks ago from the hospital. I have not heard from Perry for some time. The last I heard from him he was in the hospital. I did not know that he was back with his company until I heard from you. I have heard that the division that Henry belongs to has been broken up and put into different outfits that needed men. If you hear from him let me know what regiment he is in. He may be right near me lots of times but I don't know it. Well, I suppose you have seen by the papers what has been going on over hfre. I don't think we will stop till the end now. I think Perry has changed his mind some since a year ago. The Americans learn to fight in trench and open warfare in a very short time. I think that if they keep on driving Mr. Boche he will be giv ing up in short order. He is sure get ting all he wants of war and mere too. The Germans have the idea they could win before the American got in full swing, but it is too late for them now. We have got them on the run and when we stop we shall be so close to the Rhine that it won't take field glasses to see it. 1 I saw Earl Cooper and Lewis Hill the other day. They are getting along fine, came through the drive without a scratch. Capt. Enright is in com mand of the Supply Company, or that is what I have heard. Don Metcalf has been made captain of Headquar ters Company. He seems to ne get- i ting along fine and is looking well. I i suppose you have heard or seen that 1 Perley Sampson and Harvey Butler ire back in the States. Howard So- per is top sergeant of the company 1 now. How is Mrs. Burke getting along? i 1 have not heard from Walter j he has been over here. If I can get his address I will write to him. I will have to be closing now. Give my best regards to Myrt and the rest of my friends. Hope to hear from you again soon. Tour loving son CORP. CHARLES E. BICKFORD.

Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Smith of 18 South Chestnut street are the happy parents of a daughter, born Saturday morning. The young lady weighed 10 pounds and will be named Vir ginia, In response to Inquiries received by the board of health relative to pros pective whist parties to be held the coming week, the board issues the warn ing that on account of the epidemic these parties must not be held, under penalty. The regular Wednesday evening dance at Maccabee hall will be post poned this week, in accordance with the order issued by the Augusta Health authorities. Notice will later be published when these popular dances will again be held. The 10th of October is the time set for the awarding of the Knapp Felt five dollar hat, to the person, who lias up to that time contributed the largest number of peach stones to I he box at the Beane Cross store.

"Many singers, speakers, and oth ers suffering from vocal weakness and attendant poor health, have found Chiropractic adjustments a boon," says Allen, the Chiropractor, in his Health Talk this morning.

One victim of alcoholic stimulants was before the municipal court Satur day morning to answer to the charge of intoxication, and on being declared guilty was given a sentence of 30 days in jail, which was however sus pended. The reason of the foregoing action on the part of the court was that the man was one of a gang of men from Boston who arrived in Au gusta on the 7.30 train Friday even ing, bound for the Maine lumber camps, and on bis arrival in the city he unwisely left the train only to bring np later in the police station. He was placed on the 9.50 train Sat J urday morning and sent up river, but as he had only what is known as a "party ticket” it is doubtful how far the conductor allowed him to ride. LOCAL NOTICE New Skip-Stop System to Be Put in Operation on L. A. W. The United States Fuel Adminis tration has addressed a communica tion to Public Service Commissions, mayors, city councilmen, city com missioners and street railway officials of the United States, calling upon them ae a patriotic duty to adopt the so-called Skip-Stop System in order to conserve fuel and man power. Although the Lewiston, Au gusta Waterville Strpet Railway obtains the power used for the op eration of its cars primarily from hydro-electric stations, still this wa ter-power has to be largely supple mented by steam generated power, and the request of the Fuel Adminis tration therefore has a direct appli cation to the local street railway. The so-called Skip-Stop System which has been inaugurated with great success in many cities through out the country, is nothing more or less than lengthening out the dis tance between stops, so that the av erage number of stops per mile is re duced, resulting in a marked saving in the use of power and better ser vice, on account of the saving in time in stops which have been elim inated. The inconvenience to the traveling public introduced by great er spacing of stops is practically neg ligible and a very small coiunuution upon their part toward an important item in conservation and winning the war. The officials of the Lewiston. Au gusta Waterville Street Railway have been studying this problem, and will first introduce th%Skip-Stop System on the line between Augusta und Gardiner, where it will show the greatest benefits, both in conserva tion of power and betterment of ser vice. Ir. order to fully acquaint its patrons with the new stops all pres I ent stops will be designated with pla cards at once, which will indicate those stops to .be retained and those to be abolished. Commencing Oct. 12, the new system of stops indicated by the black placards will be the only stops which the cars will make. The public Is asked by the management of the railway to bear in mind that this is a war measure requested by the national government, and that any small inconvenience which re sults is helping a nation-wide con servation measure. This policy of exten^ing the distance between stops will be eventually applied* to all of the lines of the railway. oct7-8-9-10-11-12 NOTICE For the convenience of its patrons, the Lewiston. Augusta Waterville Street Railway is issuing 7c-tiekete to be sc Id in strips of live, which will he put upon sale Monday. Oct. 7, 1918. These tickets may be secured at H. E.

The figure for the day was reasonably good for a bank half-holiday but hardly good enough to indicate that Augusta will reach her quota—unlees better work is done. Seven of the 1> working days of the drive are gone. If money is rais ed each day at the rate it has been thus far the total amount will fall short of 1700.000—and Augusta’s quota, when ad justed, will probably be above that amount. Industrial organizations and banks are yet to be heard from in force and their contributions will help the total. The great need in this drive, however, is to reach all the people who ever contrib uted before—and a lot who never bought a bond before. Under the easy terms that the banks and industrial organiza tions are making, almost any patriotic person who is earning any sort of wages or salary can finance at least a 160 bond. A vast number of people who never financed one before must meet the situ ation this time if Augusta is to go over the top. WAR RELIC TRAIN Trip Through Maine Cancelled by State Board of Health The trip of the war relic train, which was to have toured Maine in behalf of the Liberty Loan campaign this week, has been called oft by order of the State Board of Health. Big preparations tad been made for the tour of the train and the Liberty Loan leaders assured the State board that only outdoor meetings were to be held and that the crowd* would not be permitted to enter the closed car, but the State board decided to adhere to its original intention and cancelled the tour. The train was to have arrived in Maine Sunday after- J noon. Old Soldier Does Fine Embroidery In tbe store of Hinckley O’Con nell at 231 Water street there are on exhibition two specimens of excep tionally fine work in the way of hand 1 embroidery in the line of table run- ners, and what adds to the novelty of the two pieces is the fact that they are the handiwork of a man, and an old man at that. People who stop to admire the embroidery read on a card attached to the runners that they were made by W. C. Martin of the National Soldiers’ Home at Togus, j and that he is 76 years of age. The two pieces are done on art fabric, which to the unitiated resembles can vas, and the embroidery was done with Royal Society celeste, the de-| signs being of a conventional type and very pretty’. A feature that cannot be passed unnoticed is the blending of the colors used, which is especially fine. Kach piece bears a tasteful border embroidered with gilt lace and here again is shown the skill of the one who did the work, the ends being completely concealed. Mr. Martin, who is an old man-of-wars man, delights in the work of em broidery, of which he does a great deal, and while he sells not a small amount of what he does, he sends the greater part of it to a daughter in Massachusetts. Mrs. Helena C. Cochrane Mrs. Helena C. Cochrane, widow of the late Granville Cochrane, passed away at 10.30 Saturday evening at the age of 83 years, death being due to a complication of diseases. The only near relative is a niece, Mrs. Annie L. Babbitt of Taunton, Mass. Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon from 253 Water street. Mrs. Cochrane was for years in the millinery business on Water street, and took an active part in the busi ness up to within a comparatively few weeks ago. She was a woman of wide acquaintance and enjoyed the friendship of a large number of peo ple, all of whom will be sorry to learn of her passing. Mr*. Horace N. Woodbury of Portland Augusta friends of Mrs. Horace ~N. Woodbury will be grieved to learn or her death, which occurred at 2 o’clock Friday morning at her home on Exeter street, Portland, after an illness of only a week with the influenza which termi nated in pneumonia. She was the only daughter of John A. Mace, the well known conductor on the Maine Central railroad. She is survived by her husband, Hor ace N. Woodbury, her father, John A. Mace, a son.

The fighting loan is in full swing in Augusta with nearly two thirds of the quota yet to be raised, though in many places the quotas are complete and the campaign a thing of the past. It has been estimated that there should be at least 20,000,000 buyers of the fourth issue if the $6,000,000,000 is to be raised iaxthree short weeks. Augusta has not bought her proportionate share and those who are lagging or holding back should fall in line and buy at once. The woman’s division in Augusta re ported 3150 worth of bonds sold on Sat urday. This was about half of the amount usually reported, but as Satur day is a half-holiday with the bank3 small returns were to be expected. The total amount of bonds sold to date by this division now stands at $119,900. Accounts of the activities of the wo men throughout the county are begin ning to come in to Mrs. Guy P. Gannett, county chairman. In Clinton the wo man's division has raised $650, in Ben ton $250, and in Litchfield, where the men’s division has given over the first week to the women, they have raised $10,000. The woman’s week is to extend through Tuesday, and the men have promised them a dinner if they raise the whole quota ($9000 more) in that time. Eleven thousand two hundred dollars has been raised and reported through the efforts of the women’s division in the surrounding districts. Buy bonds to the utmost.

SENDING CHRISTMAS PACKAGES OVERSEAS Complete Information for Red Cross Chapters Received at Local Head quarters—New Plan Should Be Read by All Complete information for Red Cross chapters regarding the sending of Christmas parcels to the men abroad has been received by the Augusta chap ter from the New England headquar ters and should be read by all who plan to make presents to the soldiers overseas. This information also con tains detailed instructions for the chap ters in the matter. Those planning to send presents abroad should remember that no Christmas parcels can be mailed later than Nov. 15, 1918. A general description of the plan is contained in the following: 1. The families of men In service abroad have been longing for some means of making Christmas overseas a3 merry a one as the conditions permit. Sensing this desire, the war department has decided that each man may receive from his family a Christmas package of standard size and appropriately stand ard contents. 2. An arrangement has been complet ed between the war department, posi office department and the American Red Cross whereby the latter has undertaken to co-operate in the preparation for mailing of these Christmas parcels. To simplify the execution of this plan a large number of specially manufactured cardboard cartons have been purchased which will be distributed through the chapters to the relatives and friends of men in service overseas. General Description of the Plan 3. The amount of shipping space which has been set aside for the trans portation of Christmas parcels will per mit the sending of but one parcel to each man. To avoid any duplication, and to make sure that each parcel will he correctly addressed, a Christmas par cel label is now being issued to the men abroad. A. Mon will be instructed to mail this label home to some relative or friend who, ifpon receiving it, will apply to the nearest Chapter, Branch or Auxiliary headquarters, or such other places as may be designated by the Red Cross where upon presenta tion of the Christmas Parcel label, they will receive one carton. 3x4x9 inches in size. 5. The person receiving a carton may fill it with any combination of articles which will fit in it and which are not barred by the postof fice department. (See list attached). When completely packed and ready to be mailed the weight of the car ton must not. exceed three pounds. G. A parcel ready for shipment will then be presented at places des ignated where Red Cross representa tives will examine the contents in order to: (a) Exclude any articles barred by the postoffice department from Christmas parcels. (b) Remove any notes or mes sages found among the contents. (c. Wrap, tie and weigh the parcel. (d) Place on the parcel the Christmas parcel label received from abroad bearing the address of the man for whom it is intend ed. The person sending the par cel shall then, in the presence of a Red Cross representative, affix stamps sufficient to carry the parcel to Hoboken, N. J. The postage charges for Christmas packages shall be at the rate of fourth class or parcel post zone rate. (e) The Red Cross inspection label certifying as to the com plete inspection of the parcel by the Red Cross shall then be placed on the parcel. (f) Parcels ready for mailing shall remain in the custody ct the Red Cross until delivered by its representatives to the' postoffice authorities. WATER DISTRICT TO ESTABLISH WOOD YARD On Bangor Street Corner North Bel fast Road—Will Sell Seasoned Cord Wood to Augusta Citizens at Cost The Augusta Water District last winter thought it would be a good time to cut oft a lot of surplus wood on the land owned by them around Carleton pond and they have on hand at this time rising 200 cords of well seasoned cord wood. Recently the matter has been taken up and it has been decided that they would have this wood hauled into Augusta and sell it to the citizens of Augusta at cost, thus giving to many, who might otherwise be short of a supply of wood, what they might need. The intent is to only sell not exceeding a certain amount to any one party. Owing to the condition of the roads it may not be possible to get this wood into town until sometime in November when the roads are either drier or frozen. In the meantime, a yard is to be established at the corner of Bangor street and the North Bel fast road where Samuel Titcomb has tendered the use of a lot for the pur pose. Superintendent TV. W. Albee of the Water District will receive orders and the wood can be ‘delivered at the house of the purchasers or be taken by them, if they prefer, at the lot. The exact prlce_haa not hftW’dfta term In ed, as the cost of getting the wood in is still under consideration but it will be somewhere in the vicin ity of $10 a cord on^the lot.

CHEMISTRY AND THE FARMER The chemist has received consid- erable publicity, since the outbreak of the war, due the important role that he has played in the manufac- ture of munitions, poisonous gases, gas masks and various industrial pro- i ducts necessary to the prosecution of a successful war. Few people real ize, however, says R. Adams Dutcher, a member of the Minesota section of the American Chemical Society, the I important part that the chemist has played in preparing the nation to pro duce agricultural products sufficient to feed our own and the allied armies.. In the first place the chemist found that certain soils produced large j crops because these soils were rich In certain chemical substances neces- j sary for plant, growth. Other soils, which did not yield good crops, he found to be deficient in some of the i chemical substances. With charac- I teristic initiative he found that he could procure chemical substances which caused the profitless lands to bear good crops. This marked the beginning of the fertilizer industry. When he found Chile salt-peter was no longer available he found a method of making saltpeter from the nitfogen of the air and an abundant salt, known as soda ash. He found that some of our western lands are now responding to drainage and irri gation to free them from alkali salts which had formerly prevented the production of crops. He also found that many soils produced poor crops because of the acids they contained. Thanks to the chemist any farmer can now buy a simple fool-proof apparatus and take it out Into the field and determine for himself the amount of lime to add per acre to correct this acidity. If no other chemist has accom plished a thing for agriculture, the world would still owe a great debt to chemistry for the reason that Dr. S. M. Babcock, while chemist at the Wisconsin experiment Station, devel oped the Babcock test for butter fa,t which has put enough money into the pocket of the farmer to pay a large part, if not the entire expense, of running our Agricultural Experiment Stations. Dr. Babcock could have made a fortune had he patented this invention but instead he unselfishly gave it to the farmer in whose inter est he was working. The producer of vegetables and fruit would be unable to produce these valuable commodities in com mercial quantities had not the chem ist procured chemicals in the form of powders and sprays which kill the insects without harming the plant or the edibility of its fruit Scientific feeding, so necessary for maximum production of meat and dairy products, has not only been de pendent upon the chemical laboratory for information regarding compara tive quantities of protein, fat and carbohydrates in various feeds, but the heat value and digestibility of feeding stuffs have also been found by chemical study and the results ar ranged in simple form so that they are now in general use over the en tire country. More reciitly the chemist has been able to shotr that many diseases of a nutritional nature can be cured by substances, called vitamines, found in certain foodstuffs but not in others. This work is paving the way towards more intelligent feeding of young, growing animals. These are but a few of the thinga that the chemist has done to assist in agricultural nro duetton.

State super intendent of public schools. Saturday declared that the attendance at school i this year is ’arger than last year, due. it is believed, to an early dnve which was made to get every child possible in I school. 1 "And the supply of teachers in Maine is as good as any State in the Union," said Dr. Thomas, "and if we had about a dozen High school teachers and a I couple of superintendents, we would be j in the best possible condition as regards a teaching force. A number of persons j who formerly taught school have volun j teered and several ministers have come forward in the emergency with a i desire to teach. Dr. Thomas sen out recently a com munication to inquire as to the number of men teachers who would likely be j called into the service and received re j plies from 22 who are instructors along agricultural or vocational lines and holding positions which cannot be filled by women. TEACHERS’ CONVENTION NOV. 7-8 AT PORTLAND The annual convention of the Maine Teachers' Association, which will be held at Portland Thursday and Friday, Nov. 7 and 8, will be held under condi tions such as never before surrounded the educational activities of the nation. Everywhere within the past 12 months there has been readjustment after re adjustment made necessary by the un precedented times. To formulate a pro gram for a State convention of teachers under such circumstances and to make the preliminary arrangements neces sary for the carrying out of this pro gram has been by no means an easy task. Even at th: last moment the committee may be faced with situations which will make impossible a full reali zation of its plans, but the program Is the result of the combined work of the officers of the association and the chair men of the several departments along lines which seem to be for ^ie best In terests of ths association. The School Music Festival has been arranged along lines similar to those adopted In previous years and a large amount of work has already been ex pended in preparation for it. The clos ing of many schools just as the prelim inary program goes to the printer means that still more intensive work must be done when they re-open, but It is ex i pected that everyone will be ready to do j his part in making the festival as great a success as ever. j Teachers who live within any reason I able distance of Portland are “specially j urged to attend this great meeting since a 100-per cent registration from such i towns and cities will assist greatly in j keeping the enrollment up to former years and make up for any defSciency j which may result from the inability of those at a greater distance to be pres ent. Every teacher and every friend of education in the State is given a most cordial invitation to attend the conven tion. I 1 Among the speakers who will address the convention will be Hon. Martin G. Brumbaugh, governor of Pennsylvania; i Prof. Donald B. McMillan, the Arctic explorer: Dr. Robert J. Alev, president j of the University of Maine; Prof. John G. Thompson, principal of the State Normal school at Fitchburg, Mass Frank W. Wright of Boston, deputy j j commissioner ol education for Maasa chusetts; Vesper Lincoln George, heed of the department of design of the Mas sachusetts Normal Art school; Miss Bertha M. McConkey, associate super intendent of schools at Springfield, Mass.; Raymond G. Laird, head master of the Boston Clerical school, and Prof. R. K. Hack of Harvard University.
