Coming to Maine.
Washington, D. G., June 7.-(Specian.
1t is not improbable that some Of the
Maine volunteers will be ordered 10
Camp Alger, near this city, before the
close of the war, if indeed the war
does not end before the quota, under
the second call, is mustered in. The
original plan OF the war department
was for the sending of some troops
from each state to the South and for
sending other troops from the same
state to the camp near Washington.
AS the Maine regiment of volunteers
has already gone South it is thought
here that the separate battalion, that
Maine will probably bealowed to raise,
after some of her volunteers under the
second call have been used to fill out
other regiments, will be ordered 70
Camp Alger.
To the average soldier at this stage
of the war assignment to Camp Algcr
is very acceptable because it is so near
Washington that Il visit to the Capital
is among the possibilities However,
the military authorities are very strict
about allowing soldiers 10 come into
town. \ great many soldiers really d.
come into Washington but they are
very, very few out OF the entire $1,000
men now in camp there. The camp
was purposcly located some Is miles
out of Washington to prevent the sol
diers from overrunning the city. 1t
also removed them from the tcmpta-
ton Of the numerous saloons, that are
SO accessible in Washington, and from
other vices of a great city.
Memorial day was an example to
Washington of WHAT might be ex-
pccted II the soldiers were turned loose
in the city The officers at Camp Al
ger were a little more lax that day
than usual and large number Of sol
diers were given permission to come to
town They not only stocked up With
good square meal, something many
Of them had not eaten for several days
because of the Inexperienced cooks in
their companies, but they also par

that one walking UP Pennsylvania

Sermon Before Drisc Lodge, A. o. U. W.

The morning services at the First Con
gregational church were unusually we'll
attended, yesterday. when the pastor
Rcv. J. l.. Quimby, preached 4 very in
tercsting sermon before the members Of
Diri@o Lodge. No. |, A. O. L. w. There
were 60 of the members Of the order
present. including several of the members
of the lodge from Haliowen. These fled
into the front Of the church audience
room, where they occupied seats directly
under the pulpit. The pulpit was tastily
decorated with snilax and cut flowers, 4
vase Of carnations occupying place at
the left of the speaker.
The pastor took mis- text from Judges.
Y: n: "'The stars in their courses moved
against Sisera." Rev. Mr. Quimby in the
beginning of his sermon, said he did not
propose to dwell an tho principles uf the
order before which he was speaking.
Rather ii was his purpose to dwell on one
OF the fundamental priciples. the belief
in Supreme Being who guides oar lives
and actions. He briefly referred TO the
fact that ancient nations had prospered
through conforming Ia this Law. through
the struggle between right tnl wrong.
between justice and injustice Carrying
out the same lin" of thought. he said our
own nation would finally take It's place a
the highest of all nations. Not hecause of
its ingenuity. hut rather because is high
est mission AS the child Of God is To give
aid under the highest principles of the
Supreme Being.
The struggle of The founders Of our ma
ton was briefly sketched, as were also
the wars that have occurred since the
governments establishment.
I've are now, the speaker said. in tha
midst of another great struggle. We are
face to face with a nation whose govern
ment represents the Dark Ages. whose
dominion has been marked with cruelty.
We have been called on as the aTenging
angel of God. champoning the oppressed.
Happy are We that the struggle is not to
extend to our dominions God, men ana
the universe are always on me side Of

The Duty Of the Colby Student.

The president OF Colby university has
made the following statement in refer
enCe to Colby's attitude in relation 10
the enlistment of its students: OF
course Colby, and no doubt every coll
lecc in the land, would grant diplomas
without examination and the formali-
ties Of graduation, la any members of
/ the senior class who regard it as their
duty 10 enlist. And a clean bill of
health 50 far as absences are concern
ed would be issued to members of any
Of the college classes who might inter-
rupt their course of study for like
reason.
But. I am satisfied that the actual
enlistment of college students at pre-
sent is unnecessary and hence prema-
ture. This may cease to be true any
day. but in the light of events to date.
Il general movement that should draw
any considerable number of our stu
dents into camp. would surely be a de-
plora BILE mistake. These young men
are not needed. The best service that
college men can render to their coun-
try now, is to watch events, keep in
telligently informed, avail themselves
of every means of forming right opin-
ions. and in the mean time keep about
the work immediately in hand, namely,
the Development of trairtd intelligence
and DersonaFDower.
The bestsstudents in our colleges will
be thesve best material from which
TO recruit our TROOPS. They will make
theYmost .obedient and intelligent SOL
dieis But it isssiikely to be afar cry
from iiosva toathe day when they need
do more than studysevents and TO cul
tivate Loyal gdisncsition. There is
nothing bettersfor the country than
what the college represents. America
expects every man do do his duty, and
for most Of ussit is true that duty con-
fronts us 1asI ssherc we are.
