RIVER GIVES UP
ITS DEAD --BODY OF
MRS. T|LT0N FOUND
Thursday Morning, Floating in
Hallowell Boom, Opposite
North Pier Of Augusta Lum-
Der Co. Boom-Medical Ex-
aminer Harris Decides Death
Due to Drowning

The remains of Mrs. Bna E. Tilton,
wife of Ora F.. Tilton, who had been
missing from their home at 81 North
Belfast avenue since about o'clock
last Monday morning. was found
floating in the kennebec river at about
o'clock Thursday morning. The dis
covery was made by Leo Murphy
of this city who with others was in
swimming, and saw the body floating
in the Hallowell boom at point about
opposite the first or northerly pier of
the Augusta Lumber Cos. boom on
the east side of the river. Word was
sent to the police station and City
Marshal Harwood and Chief Engineer
Hunt of the fire department hurried
down along the east shore and secured
boat.
In the meantime Louis Paquin, stew
ard for the Augusta Yacht Club, had
been told of the discovery of the body,
and taking a boat crossed the river to
where it was, and by direction Of City
Marshal Harwood held the body to the
boom pending the arrival of the medi-
cal examiner, DIR. w. H. Harris. Upon
his arrival he viewed the remains and
finding nothing to indicate that death
had been due to other causes than
drowning, permission was given for
the remains to be removed to the I'M
dertaking rooms of Trouant & Bates
to be prepared for burial, which was
done.
Mrs. Tilton's body was clothed as
was described in the Journal, except
that over the pink and white striped
one-piece house dress she wore a
heavy winter garment of rough brown
material, and her hat was missing. She
was fully clothed throughout. and ev-
erything about the body indicated that
she had made deliberate preparations
for her act.
The remains will be taken on the
early train this morning to Unity,
where funeral services will be held
at / o'clock this afternoon.

AMERICANS FRENCH
LEAVE FROM CANADIAN
SERVICE WITH BRITISH
(Bangor Commercially

Three American citizens, Lieut..
Clarence Small of Portland, Private A.
F. TAFT Of New York city, and Private
J. Kirkey Of Ogdenburg, n. Y, are in
this city having just left the Canadian
army because the Canadian officials re-
fused to grant promised furl6ugh and
refused to give the men railroad passes
to their homes as is done with the
Canadian soldiers.
The three men arrived in Bangor
Thursday night from the convalescent
camp in Toronto and are planning on
returning home, and let the Canadians
and Englishmen do their fighting.
The three men who enlisted early in
the war in the S1st battalion Of the
Canadian army. saw four months OF
fighting in the trenches in France.
They do not claim to have been in the
front trenches and frankly admit that
they are pleased to say they were not
called upon to go way up front. The
food served in the trenches Is not
enough and the men suffer from lack
of nourishment is the way the young
men now in this city feel about it.
Its not what it's cracked up to be"
is the comment they make Of the fight
ing in France.
Lieut. Small, who IS a graduate Of
the officers training school of Toronto
where he secured training at the out
break of the war which fitted him for
his office as lieutenant, was formerly a
seaman on the U. S. S. Florida and
Private TAFT was formerly private in
A Company Of the 3rd Infantry at
Madison Barracks, N. Y.
The men are all we'll after their ex-
periences although Lieut.. Small was
at one time overcome with gas and
Private TAFT got a ball through his
right knee. The feeling when being
overcome with the gas Is as being
bound with a number Of ropes" Is the
explanation the young fellows made.
Their complaints against the treat
ment they received in the hands Of the
Canadians is that the Canadian SOL
diers are all promised a furlough and
besides that a railroad pass to their
homes during their Through The men
living in Canada got these all right but
the Americans were not treated so. The
officers ordered the men back to the
convalescent camp at Toronto soon at
ter they returned to Canada and the
men were sure Of being pronounced
physically fit after a few days in the
camp. Following this they would be
sent back to France.
The Americans are not much in favor
Of this the three now in Bangor say as
they feel they should get their fur
loughs and pass home whore they may
spend a few weeks.
Not only are the three which arrived
in Bangor Thursday night leaving the
army but as Lieut.. Small puts it there
are more than 40 in this city now who
have taken French leave, but they are
in citizens clothes and are not noticed"
The young fellows are undecided

STOMACH ACHES
The Optimistic Side of Military
Life-Red Cross Kindness
Red Ants Only War Food
Good Enough for Anybody

Through a mothers generosity we
are enabled to let other mothers read
another letter from another son, now
Texas.
This thoughtful mother says: Find
enclosed a copy Of letter ! received
yesterday from my son now with the
I'd Maine. l enjoy reading the other
boys letters about the country and
conditions and some other mother may
like to read this one"
He writes as follows:
Laredo, Texas. July 6, 1916.
Dear Mama:
We are in an alkali plain about one
mile out Of town with lizards as thick
as crickets, but they are not poison
so we don't mind.
Il am in the park this afternoon,
the only grass l have seen within
twenty miles. Take 1t back twelve
hours ride from there to Wass it is
"a great country and don't think I
would want to stay back in Maine all
my life after all.
Il can't get a transfer, so send my
mail to Co. after this. | have got
it from Co M, 0. K. l saw none Of
the places in New Hampshire or Mas
sachusetts except Lawrence and Deer
ing Junction and those through the
Hoosac Mountains. Some tunnel that.
II tell you it seems funny to see ripe
corn only four days from Maine. AS
to heat it isn't only 100 to 100 at noon
with fairly cool nights, with no drill
from 10 until o'clock. 1t Is pretty
comfortable except for the dust.
The Red Cross sends us distilled
water each day. l never felt better
and wouldn't mind this life at all If
l had not got my hands into some
woodbine at Kansas. They feel bad
but are getting along well. The Pill
SINGERS will soon have them o. K
Got them in bandages, but they are
not as bad as last year, so don't worry
There are only two sick men and
three who were hurt by their own
carelessness in the whole I'd Maine. OF
course there is the usual amount of
stomach ache from water melons and
such.
Don't believe all you hear about
camp conditions, as some are bound to
kick anyway on corned beef sand
witches and good ones too.
AS to war we will not see anything
worse than red ants. The Mexicans
don't want it and Wilson doesn't.
with all kinds of best wishes to
everybody ard love to you. ] remain

Co. c, I'd Maine Unfit, Laredo, Texas"
From the context Of this letter one
can plainly see the great lesson which
is being taught the boys in Mexico.
The expedition is for them an expert
ence long to be remembered. the trip
across country. the country passed
through the country in which they are
at present situated, the manner Of liv-
ing in military camp, the customs Of
the people, all tend toward educating
the boy and giving him a wider per-
spective of his future existence.
