T0ENuST ONE MILLION
BEFORE JANUARY |, 1916
Women's Section of Navy League
Starts Campaign to Increase
Membership.

AS an incentive in the campaign being
inaugurated by the woman's section OF
the Navy League to enlist an even mil
lion women in its ranks by January !,
1916, a friend OF the organization has
offered a silver loving cup to the Ameri-
can woman who succeeds in gaining the
most members by that time.
Forty five thousand members Of the
womans section of the league are at
present being organized into teams and
drilled in preparation for the work of
this campaign, and committees in charge
are being appointed in every state and
city in consequence. This campaign was
determined upon at the recent confer
ence of the organization held in this city
General Secretary's Comment.
"a million members by the first of the
year may seem a tremendous task" said
Miss Elisabeth E. Poe, general secre-
tary, today. "Of course, a million is a
huge number. but there are in the neigh
borhood of fifty million women in this
country, and the cause for which we
ask their signature and assistance, that
OF patriotism, Americanism and national
DEFENSE, is the subject which American
women hold dearest"
Since the close of the conference more
than 5000 women from the National Cap
ital alone have signed the organization g
pledge and become members of the sec
tlon, While progress in other localities
is announced as equally rapid and en-
couraging.
Organization Amplifed.
The organization of the national serv-
ice department OF the woman's section
has been greatly amplified and strength
ened. Mrs. Vylla P. Wilson has been
placed in charge Of this branch and is
working out the details Of a compre-
fensive plan whereby all American wom-
en- who sign the womans section pledges
and become members shall also register
for service to the nation in the capacity
In which they are most capable of render
ing service in case of trouble. This ina
tional service register will be placed at
the disposal of the government in case
of war.

A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. Prominent Citizen Charged with Tiff
 ling with a Widows Affections.

For some time it is alleged. one of our prominent citizens has paid more or less attention to a young and oeau- tifuI widow of this city, forgetting. or at least not needing the advice of the immortal Mir. Weller to his son sam uel to beware of the 1ldders.
 He now claims that he was not se- rious in his intentions and that he was not attached to her. but, however that may have been the widow became at tached to him. and as he seems to have lost interest in the matter she has al tacl1ed his property. Which is a form of attachment that he does not enjoy
 The result is that he finds himself the defendant in a first class br sach of promise case and his questionable attitude towards the widow will be given an airing in the near future.
 The parties in the case are 50 prom inent that it is feared TO court room will hold the vast crowd desirous of attending the trial 50 it will be held in the Olympic on Tuesday evening" the Young Mems Christian association fer whose benefit the proceeds will be devoted.
 In other words, it will be g. mock court trial. and it promises to be one of the most enioyaoIe affairs of many years, as q large nun1oer' Of our lead ing poeIpe will participate in the pro cccdingS.
 The committee havins the trial in charge have enga ged Col. \. Y. New ton. the well known IawEe Eer-lGcCurer Of Worcester. Mass. to attend to the de tails and personally conduct the enter tainment
 Col. Newton has had remarkable sue cess in conducting similar entertain meuts and without doubt the breach of promise trial will be here. SIS eIss- where, an event long to be remembered with pleasure

POETRY
THE OLD HOME.

Last night sat In my cottage
 And thought, 9s l often do, Of the old farm house in Essex Where through tho leaves Of ancient
 trees
 The sunlight gently falls On the ivy clingIng tender1y
 To the old brick walls. My cottage in America
 Is but a name to me For my heart is back in Essex
 In the home across the sea Tn fancy oft I wander through
 The narrow garden gate, And, pausin~ breathe more softfx, Lest come too late; For across the suuken threshold
 The fedglings all have flown, And left two old parents there
 Growing old alone. Our paths. they lie so far apart
 For it is fate's decree That they should be in Essex
 And across inc sea I pause beside the old ermchE&rs Before the fireplace, Where the fickering light iIlum1nos Each dear beloved face; And StoOplng low I press 9 kiss Upon each withered cheek With lips that cannot utter
 The words I long to speak. see them smile, and know their
 thoughts
 Arc over hero with me, While mine arc back in Essex In the homo across the sea-
