Waterville, Me-, June 14.-(SpeciaD.
Only a few days more remain before
the beginning of the 93rd annual Com
mencement, June 20 to "a. Special eff
forts are being made by the officers
of the General Alumni Association to
bring out the largest attendance of the
alumni at the coming Commencement
that Colby has ever had. Rev. w.
Dodge, president of the General Alum
nj Association, is strongly urging all
the students to remain for Commence
ment, if they can possibly do so, for
it is undoubtedly a great stimulus to
college loyalty and enthusiasm 10 see
and meet the returning alumni and
especially the older graduates, who ap-
preciate attentions that may be
shown them during their stay. Presi-
dent Roberts is in hearty accord with
this idea of urging the students to
remain for Commencement and con-
siders that 1t is a matter Of regret
that greater emphasis has not been
laid upon this point in previous years.
A number of changes have been
made in the commencement program,
which it Is believed will make this
occasion more interesting. The pro-
gram so far as can be announced at
this time is as follows

PROBE NEAR WRECK
Of BRUNSW|CK-bATH
MIDNIGHT TRAIN

Brunswick, Me-, June IA party
companied by Chief of Police Colby of
this town, Sheriff Graham and Depu-
ty Sheriff Frank A. Johnson, arrived
here Friday afternoon and visited the
spot where the midnight train from
Brunswick to Bath crashed into a
hand car near Harding's crossing,
about five miles from here.
1t was found that the hand car had
been taken from the south side of
the track, where 1t had been left, lock-
ed, by the workmen upon the COM
pletion of their days work. The lock
had been picked and the car run up
the track for about half mile.
There it had been removed from the
track and placed cross wise and it is
the opinion of the party that the car
was used for joy riding purposes. 1t
had evidently been taken of the track
about the time that the midnight train
was due to pass that point but the
train was late. When II did arrive,
the party attempted to again remove
the car but did not have time as they
had just passed curve and they did
not see the train coming until it was
almost upon them.
Seeing that they could not remove
the car, the JOY riders beat a hasty
retreat and the train crashed into it,
but with the exception of smashing
the pilot Of the engine, and the entire

month only, during June. July and
Augustine first Wednesday in each
month A good thing along the line
of progress was the installation OF
5000 individual drinking cups and a
a suitable receptacle for drinking
water. Now we should work for a
law that every Granger should be
made to take bath at least once a
week, and thoroughly ventilate our
baths. 1t is wonderful how scared
most of us are of a little soap and
water and fresh air. The more we
take of these two things. the less need
we will have of calling in the doctor.

acres on which the growth was of
hemlock, spruce, pine, birch, oak and
maple, and was foughet by a large
number of men before it could be ex-
tinguished. The damage was estimated

Leaves March IS

The President, according to the
present program, will leave Washing
ton for Hampton Roads, accompanied
by his official family on the yacht
Mayflower ON March 5, 1915. The in
ternational fleet will have been gath
ering in the roads since Jan. /, but
the President feels obliged to defer
his own departure until the date men
toned because of his desire to remain
in Washington until the session OF
Congress closes.
So far nine CT the maritime coun-
tries have signifed their intention to
take part in the great naval parade
through the canal and the other coun-
tries undoubtedly will participate. The
countries that already have accepted
are Argentina, Cuba, France. Germany
Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Portugal
and Russia.
The entire Atlantic fleet of the
American navy viii form the nucleus
around which the international naval
forces will gather
After the ceremonies at Hampton
Roads, the President will take up his
quarters on the great super-dread-
nought New York. Then the start will
be made for Colon with the New York
leading. The ships win form a column
many miles in length.
When the vessels pass through the
canal the line will be headed by the
ancient steam launch Louise, the gift
of the American government to the
government of France. The Oregon
is to follow with the Presidential
party.
Allowing one hours time for the
passage through the locks of each
ship, and a day for it's transit through
the canal the whole fleet should be
transferred from the Atlantic to the
Pacific in about four days.
When the ships have made the pas
sage and anchored in Panama bay,
fresh supplies will be taken aboard
and the procession will start for the
North.

he hid it successfully from the world.
This was a dreamy, sentimental side,
such as the stately June alone could
satisfy. And perhaps this was his sin
cerest and truest side. But June was
married.
And so, with lingering thoughts OF
June, he proposed to ask Lucille to be
his wife. Lucille was as jolly as ever,
unattached, and apparently as young
as ten years earlier. Perhaps she was
twenty+nine. John was thirty-tour.
And, with increasing years, the June
side had developed at the expense OF
the other.
"Pshaw!" he muttered. GA man is
a sentimental fool when he passes
thirty, anyway. Lucille would make
me the joIliest wife imaginable"
And Lucille had all but told him she
would.
And when he got back home, after
that visit during which he had fully
decided to put the question next time
then John took out of a secret
drawer a certain little diary which he
had carried with him for ten years.
June had put that into his hands, that
day he went away-tall, statuesque
June, whom he had always thought
so cold. And in it we're certain poig-
nant passages which he re-read this
night, to test himself, before asking
that momentoUs question Of Lucille.
John turned the pages.
"He is going away tomorrow" he
read. "And I love him. And l don't
know what to do. I must tell him.
He thinks me utterly different from
what 1 am. l wonder what he would
thing if he knew how many tears
have shed"
The writing broke off abruptly, and
that was the last paragraph in the
book. John turned back.

Ten years before John Hayward
had been a poor Iad-in. Staples. Now
he was returning, comparatively rich,
to settle down in the village Of his
birth. And when a man does this, if
he be a bachelor, it is safe to assume
that the thought of some old boyhood
sweetheart has crossed his brain.
There were two of them-sisters.
June and Lucille PuTvis were twins,
