Damariscotta Herald: Our friend of
the Sheepscot Echo comes down heaV
lily upon the recent Maine Central sun
day excursions to Camp Powers. We
know very We'll that the railroads are
not IN business merely for the fun of it
and morality and Righteousness do not
enter into their calculations. We de-
plore Sabbath breaking especially Sun
day travel, but in this case there is
another side to the question. Any one
who saw the wives, sisters, mothers
and swcethearts who sWarmed over
Camp Powers during the past two
Sundays would have freely admitted
that Sunday was a day none too good
for those who thus had the sad salts
faction of seeing the loved ones who
will soon be battling with a southern
sun, hunger, thirst. disease. and Span
sh bullets. Under the conditions sun
day excursions to Camp Powers should
not be condemned.

Memorial Day.

Never forget, my children,
When May clasps hands with June,
When every day is a rainbow gay
And every wind is tune,
When all the land like bride doth stand
In the arms of the blossomlng year.
Oh, never forget the friends who died
To save this land so dear.
Friends though you never saw them!
Though long before your birth,
Far from the home of their fathers,
Far from the churchyard earth,
On many n southern mountain,
On many 4 dreary plain,
Their dying breath like incense rose,
Their blood dropped down like rain.
Never forget dear children,
1t was for you they died.
For right and truth, in flush of youth,
In manhood's stately pride.
They sowed the seed of concord;
They cleared the tangled way,
And brought sweet Peace and Freedom In
10 glad your lives today.
So bring your flowers, children,
And lay them on each grave
Where sleeps in peace and honor
The unforgotten brave.
And raise on high the banner,
our glorious banner bright,
The red the blue. for Glory's hue,
The stars for heavens own light.

A Critical Time
DURING THE BATTLE OF SANTIAGO

SICK OR WELL, A RUSH MIGHT AND DAY
THE PACKERS AT THE BATTLE OF SAN
TIAGO DE CUBA WERE ALL HEROES
THEIR HEROIC EFFORTS IN GETTING
AMMUNITION AND RATIoNs TO THE
FRONT SAVED THE DAY.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train n . 8,
writing from Santiago, De Cubs, on July
%, says: I'VE all had darrhe Gel in more
Or less violent form, and when we landed
we had no time to see a doctor, for IL
was a case of rush and rush night ard
day to keep the troops supplied with
ammunition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
RIB e Remedy, we were able to keep at
work and keep our health; in fact, 1 sin
cerely believe that at one critical time
this medicine was the indirect saviour OF
our army, for If the psckers had been
unable TO work there would have been
no way of getting supplies to The front.
There were no roads that wagon train
could use. My comradn and myself had
che good fortune to lay in supply Of
this medicine for our pack-train before
we left Tampa and know 10 four cases
it absolutely saved life.n
