The revised army regulations will not
be issued to the service as promptly as
was expected. Secretary Taft has de-
cided not to give his approval to the
amended document until he has taken
up the revised edition paragraph by
paragraph. 1t was expected that the
secretary would approve the revised
regulations before his departure for his
vacation in Canada, but he has decid-
ell that the material shall be carefully
examined and each new provision care
fully considered. Mr.. Taft has also de-
cided that he will take up this matter
during his holiday, SO that while he has
passed upon about one-fOurth of the re-
vised matter, nothing viii be done with
the remainder until his return to Wash

Speaking of the cannon which is
missing from one of Bangor's G. A. r.
Posts, reminded several of the older
residents of the town Of the fact that
OronO possesses Il drowned cannon"
which if it could be recovered would
be 4 most expressive reminder of the
old days Of Orono and the strenuous
days OF politics. In 1885 or 1886 joint
stock organization called the saltwater
Iron Foundry was formed in Orono and
built foundry OH the banks Of the
saltwater river down near where
Mansfields shop now stands. William
G. Bent was manager. At the foundry
an eight FOUNDER cannon was cast
which played an important part in all
town celebrat tons for nearly twenty
years. Some time in the early fifties,
the Democrats of the town We're going
to hold 4 rousing celebration and as
| the cannon was IN the possession Of
William G. Bent, who was Il staunch
Democrat, they proposed to wake the
echoes with the old eightpounder. In
| the night a little party of Wings took
the Old cannon out of Bent's barn.
where it WAS stored, carried it some
distance up the river side, set it atlOat
on a jam Of logs and dumped it into
the deep water just above the toll
bridge, and there 1t lies to this day.

ARMY GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON,
Current Events Cleaned from the Army
and Navy Register.

In connection with the number Of
vacancies which will be available for
civilian appointees to second lieu
tenancies in the army question has
arisen whether vacancies in that grade
caused by transfer of commissioned
officers to the ordnance department will
create places to which civilians may be
assigned. This would be the case il
the transfers had been made prior to
July l. but some doubt is expressed
whether transfers made after that date
to ordnance vacancies which occurred
previously may be construed as Great
ing vacancies in the grade of second
lieutenant to which civilians would be
eligible. OF course. vacancies occurring
after July l are kept for the eligibles
for next year. There are now forty
six army candidates at Fort Leaven-
worth and there will be six graduates
from as many sO-called leading military
colleges who will be eligible to appoint
ment, ma king a total list of eligibles of
ffty-two. This allows the appoint
ment of a few civilians and it remains
to be seen whether the transfers to the
ordnance department will add to the
opportunities of applicants from civil
life.

THE ONLY ONE
LIVING
Hiram CrOnk Last of 1872
War Pensioners Celee-
brateS 104th Birth
day

Alva, N. Y, April 2S.-Hiram c.
Cronk, the only surviving pensioner
of the war Of 1912, celebrated his 104
birthday at his home here today. For
a man Of his age he displays wonder
full vitality. His daughter, with whom
he makes his home, is of the opinion
that her father is getting new teeth,
and members of the family say that
a few years ago new hair, as soft and
fine as a baby's, made its appearance
on his head in places where the old
hair had fallen away.
Cronk was born in Frankfort, N.
", and has spent practically his en-
tire life within the borders of this
state. When about thirteen years of
age he enlisted in the United States
army. The war Of 1912 was then near
ing its close. According to a record
in possession of his relatives, Cronk
entered the United States militia ser
vice at Western, N. Y, on Auguts 2,
1914, as a private in Captain Edmund
Fuller's company, the 18TH regiment,
infantry, New York militia, Lieutenant
Colonel Erastus Cleveland command
ing. He served in the defense of
Sackett's Harbor, on Lake Ontario,
until h%onorably discharged by reason
of the expiration of his enlistment,
November 16, 1914. His father, James
Cronk, and his brothers, John and
Casper, enlisted at the same time
and place. His first period of service
was for forty days, at Sackett's Har-
Dor, and his relatives state that he
went as a substitute for a period Of
sixty days more, or until the close Of
the war, when he was honorably dis
charged. Cronk got a pension Of So
a month in 1870, and in March, 1902
this was increased to $25 a month.
Two weeks ago Governor odell signed
a bill granting him a pension Of $72
4 month.

Two million dollars worth of lum

itude that has been nursed by one
man for sixteen years. During the re
cent great fire here the flames were
within so yards of the huge piles OF
lumber. A United States revenue cut.
ter lay off the dock, and was ready to
pump half a dozen streams of water,
but there was no hose.
Shryock appealed to the fire chiefs
and firemen in vain. At last he
shouted: cone thousand dollars to
the man who brings me 500 feet of
hose in time to save this dock"
An unknown man stepped out Of
the crowd and asked him to repeat
his offer, which Shryock did. Without
another word the man FASTENED
away. In less than ten minutes he
returned with a wagon upon which
was loaded hose enough to enable the
men on the revenue cutter to bring
their apparatus into full play and
fight the fire from the roofs of sheds.
In a few minutes the flames were
checked and the property saved.
When Shryock asked the stranger
his name and address, so that he
could pay him the $1,000, the man
said: Il don't want to give my name.

The current year gives weather stu dents food for speculation. The vaga- ries of the past twelve months upset some of the old axioms, especially that ian early winter means an early spring" and that ia cold winter means a warm summer" Gold set in early last year and was intense as well as prolonged. The summer was only moderately warm. It Is said that cold, heat, rainfall and snow maintain an average year by year. If the sun has to keep up an average in heat distrir button the coming winter should be moderate. At any rate. there ought to be store of heat due to this globe, for its average has not been delivered.

rHE CAUSE OF IF.

Democrats are beginning to look
 around now to find cause for the big republican majorities everywhere last Tuesday. It is difficult to realize that what appeared to them two days ago, like democratic success, turned out to be republican landslide. One prin-' cipal cause for the heavy republican vote, particularly in republican cities, is due to the fact that the younger voters are in nearly every case de- pendent upon republicans for their living, either in stores, offices or fac tories. We do not mean to say that these men are terrorized into voting the republican ticket, but they are given to unders tand that it will be for their interest to do so. We know of l one case not a hundred miles from Waterbury where there are five or six voters in family, two of whom are holding positions under republicans, and both of whom might lose their positions if the democrats were sue cessful. One of them surely would. What is the result7 These two demo- crats are forced to be republicans in order that they may be allowed to l live, and the other members of the l family feel that they should stand by ] them, and so they turn in and vote 1 the republican ticket. These men might just as well be subjects of the l czar of Russia, for they are not free- men in the sense of the word. As the saying goes s'they are afraid to say their souls are their own" when in the presence of their employers. This is l one of the causes of the great republi- can majority Tuesday. Another cause is the brazen effrontery of the demo l cratic campaign committee in sending out backsliders to tell the electors how to vote. The people whom they were l addressing were democrats when these men had the knife out for the party candidates. The Clevelands, l Walters, Cockrans and Osborns are democrats at pleasure, and they think, or did think the democrats of the l country would scamper at the sound of their voices or the beck of their
 hand, and vote as they told them, 1 These men found out this week that such things cannot be done, There is
 only one way to keep the democratic party intact and win an occasional
 victory and that is to drive out the
 men who betray it whenever the can
 didate or the platform IS not to theil
 liking, and put none but democrats on
 guard. If Cleveland had been more
 of democrat and less of mugwumI
 the democratic party would not to
 day be in the deinoralized condition il
 is. There are other elections coming
 and it isn't one minute too early to be
 gin preparations for them.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-11-10

Speaking of Robertson and Bishop, the head of the democratic state tick ct, the New Haven Union gives them great praise, and says no better men could have been nominated. It also said: Tt was a tremendous surprise, almost a paralyzing surprise, to find that the result of the election dis closed that lack of political strength for which they were credited time and again by the most acute political ob- servers in the state, as the campaign progressed" Wasn't it said that Rob- ertson voted against Bryan four years ago? and if he did that perhaps Bryan's other friends in New Haven and the state remembered it.

 In large majority of the election districts of New York city Alton B. Parker received fewer votes for presl, dent yesterday than were cast for Will liam J. Bryan in 1900. This defectiOn was not free silyer'' defeetion, and 1t was not due, we must assume, to any personal effort or influence on the part of MT Bryan. 1t cannot be ig- nored that there is 8 considerable num- Der of voters in all parts of the couH, try whose inclination to favor radicaA and soGialistic doctrines deters them from supporting truly democratic and conservative candidate for the presidency.- Hartford Times.
 The Massachusetts state bureau of statistics has been requesting from or ganized labor an expression of opinion on the question of the compulsory in. corporation of labor unions.

With the aid of Mir Bryan and his friends backing the t'sane, safe and conservative leadership, Judge Parker 1 has gone to crushing defeat, not eaualed since the disaster to the demo | mated in 1872.
