regarding the charges filed against
Quigley by James Gaffney. owner OF

According to Mr.. Gaffney, President

make for an impelling personality,

actual work of the artillery officer,
Lieut.. Farrum. L. S. A., inspector
instructor to the End Infantry of the
Maine Guard, is assisting Lieut.. Niles
in the infantry work of the camp and

The Turks are concentrating many new
troops near the Gallipoli theatre. After
surrounding many difficulties they now
have placed in successful operation sew

Bryce Little and Frank Sprague re-
turned Thursday evening from a four
day canoe trip and both reported that
they had thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
The paddlers started Monday morning
from Hammond's Grove and steered
Tor the Y. M. G. A. State camp on the,
west shore. where they made a brief
stop. From the camp they padded
along the west shore until they came
to the inlet and then went up the inlet
to Lake Annabessacook and across the
lake to Winthrop. The young men car
ried through Winthrop to Maranacook
lake and made their camp the first
night on the shore Of the lake. The fol-
lowing morning they padded up the
lake to Readfield and in the afternoon
returned to their campground Of the
previous night, where they passed
Tuesday night. On Wednesday morn
ing they went to Winthrop and after
carrying across the village. they pad
died across Lake Annabessacook,
through the inlet, making their camp
that night about a mile this side Of
the inlet. The paddlers went the next
forenoon to the Outlet of Lake Cob
bosseecontee, where they had dinner
at the Lake House. In the afternoon
they padded down Cobbossee stream
about three miles in search of pond
lilies but finding none, returned to the
Outlet and crossed the lake to Ham,
mond's Grove. These young men spoke
very enthusiastically Friday about
their trip. stating that not a solitary
thing occurred to interfere with their
pleasure and good weather was with
