Of BRIDCHAM
FOR PLACE OF

Washington, D. c.. April 24.-Thom-
as f. BRIGHAM of Buckfield, Me-, was
endorsed by the Democratic members
of the House committee on military
affairs Thursday for the place on the
board of governors of the National
Soldiers Homes in place of Gen. Jo-
seph S. Smith of Bangor. There was
a conference of the majority members
which resulted in this action being
taken. Should the change be made,
it will bring about majority of DEM
ocrats on the board.
Mr.. Brigham is to be in Washing
ton few days hence and 1t rs likely
he will learn the situation. Represen-
tative McGillicuddy recommended
him when it was found that the COM
mittee would insist en- a Maine Demo-
erat being selected in place of Gen
eral Smith. There was no effort on
the part of Maine Democrats TO dis
place General Smith and Mr.. Bridg-
hams name did not enter into the
matter until the committee had taken
a stand in favor of change.

would be apportioned among the states
according to population.
The President appoints the officers in
stead of the governors of the states. and
he has absolute authority to organize bril-
gades and divisions without regard to
state lines. a provision expected to lead
to a rapid absorption of the volunteers
into the regular forces. The enlistment
period is four years, as in the regular
army.
officers are to be appointed not for
particular organizations but subject to
proper assignment by the war depart
ment, but no officers above the rank OF
colonel will be named, and only one staff
officer will be appointed for each 200 en-
listed men.
In making appointments the President
is required to give preference to men
with honorable discharges from the army
or militia. to graduates of military
schools, ., and may accept the, recon-
mendati6ns of governors. The President
also is given Iull authority for the or
ganfzation of coast defences, machine

WOnan's Club
Serve Delight
full Breakfast

One of the most unique and beautl-
full occasions that has ever been held
under the auspices of the Woman's
Club took the form of a breakfast
served from 10 until 11.S0 Friday morn
ing at the home of Mrs. Frank e.
Drake. Sc Burleigh street. The domes-
tic science committee, of which Mrs.
c. NJ. Daggett is the chairman, enter
tanned the executive board, making in
all a gathering of about 30 ladies. Sell
dom has the forenoon of spring day
been taken for the time or assembling
a score and a half of busy Waterville
housewives. but in the same proper
ton that it was unusual, it was above
the usual standard of committee gath
erings Of the club.
The clear. fair weather permitted the
doning Of new spring suits, and some
revelations in style and personal
tastes were displayed, that nevening
gathering of the same nature would
not justify. The house, and Mrs.
Drake has a home that Is extraordi-
nary in its attractiveness and natural
beauty, was decorated with dark gar
net carnations and swilax.
Since the domestic science commit
tee entertained it was no more than
right to expect something different
from the usual in the way of refresh
ments. Coffee, with myriad variety
of sandwiches and kinds of dough-
nnts made an appropriate menu. Mrs.
L. w. Whipple and Mrs. NJ. w. Bes-
sey poured while the hostesses for the
occasion were Mrs. E. K. Maxfield and
Mrs. T. e. Drake.

Volunteer Army
Bill Is Passed

Washington April 24.-The Senate to-
day without debate passed the volunteer
army bill as agreed to by the conferees
of the House and Senate.
The volunteer army bill was designed
to cure defects in existing law relating
to volunteer forces and it is relied upon
to put these forces upon wartime foot
ing almost similar to the regular army.
Except for the fact that the volunteer
army would be disbanded Immediately
by Presidential action at the close of hos
tilities which led to its organization.
there would be little difference between
it and the regular standing army.
The volunteer army, under the terms
of the BILL is to be raised when war ex-
lists, or while war is imminent, but
only after Congress has given the Pres
ident authority. The President would
call for volunteers by proclamation and
make the necessary regulations for re-
