GIVEN BIRTHDAY SURPRISE
Supt. Halves of ChiIdren's Home En-.
tertained by Little Ones.

Supt. w. G. Halves of the Maine
Children's Home Society was happily
surprised Thursday at his office in the
Purinton block in commemoration of
his sgd birthday. About 80 Of the chill
dren from the Home, headed by Mrs.
NJ. E. Perkins. their matron, and Miss
Ethel Hall, their teacher, gathered at
the office to pay homage to their en-
ergetic and faithful director and coin
cidently to honor Mrs. o. r. Wellman,
another tireless worker in the inter
ests of the children. whose birthday
also falls on Oct. Is.
The little ones furnished merry
hour with song and laughter and were
made happy with a bounttful treat of
ice cream and cake.
1t was an inspiring yet pathetic
scene-surprising to see the radiant,
Christian faces of the elders who guide
the destinies of their youthful charges;
pathetic to see such pretty little in
nocents in misfortune.
1t is clearly apparent however that
where luxury may be lacking Christian
love and homely care atone for any
other shortcomings.
1t is a pleasure to record the noble
work which the Maine Children's
Home is accomplishing.

of flimsy paper for a strong admins
trative control backed up by the guns
of Corregidor, recognizing as l did
that without any outward gain we
would have given up the strong cur
our soldiers and our guns. for the
weak one of some verbal promises
which would last only as long as they
remained in the interest of all parties
concerned, and no longer.
while l was governor general of
the islands, l devoted myself to in
creasing the material resources of the
country, without which increase any
real independence. either of nation or
of individuals, is impossible, and to
giving them the most honest, efficient
and progressive form of government
that / knew how, in the belief that
nothing would tend to bring about sta
bility quicker than that contentment
and devotion to the material develop

successful agricultural. commercial, and
industrial pursuits, and that develop
ment of public opinion in favor of an
efficient form of government which l
hoped would grow from living under
such a government. / have seen moth

done since l left the islands has been
different to the policies which / out
lined; many of the things which l
started have been undone; much Of
the work has been changed, and all l

policies.

seeing that both parties are committed
to the continuance of American con-
troll until a stable government can be
established, my belief is that it will BE-
found that the time when a really sta

in the islands has been rather post
poned than accelerated by the changes
recently brought about, and that the

Want Sunday Hunting Law Enforced


Because of the fire in the woods in
the Cross Hill district for the past
three days, which is said to have been
due to the carelessness of some boys
who built a fire Sunday on Porcupine
Ridge for the purpose of smoking out
a hedgehog, and also because of the
fact that there are many hunters in
the woods of that section on Sundays,
some Of the people Whereabouts as we'll
as some on the Vassaiboro side of the
line have decided, it is understood. to
see if the Sunday law in regard to
hunting cannot be enforced, and will
lay the matter before the Commission
ers of Inland Fisheries and Game.
The law in question reads as fol-
lows: Section so. Sunday is closed
season, on. which it is not lawful to
hunt, kill or destroy game or birds of
any kind, under the penalties imposed
therefor during other closed season,
but the penalties already imposed for
the violation of the Sunday law by the
statutes of this state are not hereby
repealed or diminished"

MANY BULGARs WERE MURDERED
Thirty Thousand Killed in Mustapha and Three Hundred Thousand in
 Bulgarian Thrace.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 16.--A cen sus taken by the government agents in the district of Mustapha show that of the 34,00O Bulgarians who in habited the district formerly only A. 900 remain, the others having been killed by the rowing bands of Serv- ians and Greeks, while in Bulgarian Thrace only 100000 remain of the 500,000 who were in the district six months ago.
 The report has caused much bit ter feeling in the country against the Greeks and Servians and the people are being wrought to a pitch where it will be no easy matter to restrain them from aggressive acts against the Greeks and Servians.
 The recent alliance between the Turks and Bulgars is also expected to strengthen the Bulgars in their de- termination to recover Eart of the lost territory in the war of the Allies.
