The Portland Press reports that at a
meeting Of the executive committee OF
the Anti-Suffrage Association held
Monday afternoon at the home OF MIS-
David w. Snow Of Park street, MISS
Edith Koon, who has been making a
trip through Maine in the interests OF
the organization, presented her report.
She has been in the northern part OF
the State, where she met a cordial re-
ception and found an earnest desire to
hear the anti-suffrage side. Such was
the interest shown that branch organ
izations have been formed in Houlton,
Presque Isle, Fort Kent, Van Buren,
Fort Fairfield and Millinocket. Women
Of prominence in all Of these towns
opened their homes for the meetings
and lent their cordial support to the
movement. In Houlton more than lou
women were present and applauoeo
heartily Miss Rooms argument.
The annual Dorcas fair was held last
Friday and Saturday at Quillcote-on-
Saco The patronage was good, people
being there in autos from Montana, H.
linois, Ohio, Iowa, Minnesota, Colora-

ticut and many points in Maine. Ihe

The famous old willow tree which
for years many has stood just below
the w. L. Blood house on Clark hill,
South Paris, is being demolished, hav-
ing through age become menace. The
Oxford Democrat in describing the
monster tree says:
Some approximate figures, which are
safely within bounds, may give little
idea Of the size Of this willow tree. 1t
takes approximately thirty feet Of tape
to measure around the tree where the
roots leave the ground. About foot
and half above the ground, where the
trunk is about straight, 1t is eighteen
feet in circumference. About five feet
from the ground it divides into two
main branches, and these, just above
the crotch, measure respectively little
over nine feet and little over twelve
feet.
A few years ago Charles E. Brett, i'm
PEELED by the description OF smaller
big tree which he saw in some news
paper, measured the spread OF hmo'
and found it in it's greatest extent
few inches over 1862 feet.
OF course the oldest inhabitant can
not testify as to the exact age of the
tree but there is a legend, which may
or may not be true, as to its origin.
This is that Amzi Brett, when a young
man, travelling on horseback between
Brett Hill and the village, had willow
switch for whip, and stuck it in the
ground, and it grew, and became the
greatest of trees. Whether this legend
is historically accurate or not, it is gen.
erally accepted, at least in the Brett
family Amzi Brett was one of the
early settlers of Paris. He was born in
Bridgewater, Mass, May 8, 1852, which
is l54 years ago. He came to Paris,
and according to the tradition. as a
Young man set the twig which grew.
Therefore if the legend is true, it is
possible to know within few years
the age of the tree.

UNNATURALLY TIRED

Some men and many women feel tired
all the time. This is not natural.
Fatigue following work or great exer-
ton is normal but to be constantly
tired indicates q diseased condition,
usually thin blood. Backache general
ly accompanies this state of the system.
Such sufferers are usually pale but
not necessarily thin. In b1onds tie
transparency of the skin is increased;
in brunettes it is decreased and the
complexion becomes muddy. The eye
lids become greyish blue.
This condition of thin blood, which
doctors call anemia, is a dangerous one
If allowed to progress but with proper
treatment it may be speedily corrected.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie contain just the elements needed to
build up the blood and restore the lost
color and vitality. New energy circu-
lates through the system with the en-
riched blood, the heart stops its alarm
ing palpitating, color returns to cheeks
and lips.
Nothing more is needed except sum
light, good air, proper food and rest.

to follow in these matters write today

After saying that the combined Of
fensive has bound still closer the ties
or the two armies and that "our adj
versary will find therein a proof of our
nrm determination to combine our ef-
forts until the end to insure the com
plete triumph of our cause" General
Joffre concludes:
Il bow before those of your soldiers
by whose bravery these successes have
been achieved but who have fallen be-
fore the completion of our task, and I
ask you to convey in my name and in
the name of the whole French army
to those who stand ready for the bat
ties to come greeting, comradeship and
confidence"
General Haig, in replying said:
Our brave dead, whose blood has
been shed together with yours on the
soil of your great country, will prove
a bond to unite our two peoples long
after the combined action of our
armies has carried the common cause
Tor which they have fought to its
ultimate triumph
The unremitting efforts of our
FORCES north and south of the Somme
added to the glorious deeds of your
armies, unaided, before Verdun, have
already begun to break down the
enemy'S power of resistance, while
the energy of our troops and their
confidence in each other increase
from day to day.
Every fresh success that attends
our arms brings us nearer the final
victory to which, like you, I look for
ward with absolute confidence"

Berlin, via London. Sept. 29.---Ger-
many will persevere until victory is
ours, the Reichstag was told yester-
day by Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, according to the full text of
his speech which was published here
to-day. The chancellor declared that
this years harvest had made Ger
many's position much more secure
than was the case last year
In his attack upon Great Britain he

other and was above all Germany's

"A German statesman" he said,
who would hesitate to use against
this enemy every available instrument
of battle that would really shorten this
war-such statesman should be
hanged" The chancellor declared his
contempt for those circulating re-
ports that all Germany's means of
fghting were not being employed to
the fullest possible extent He added
that in order to disappoint the enemy
who is on watch for every breach of
our inner determination" he would
not give details.
Persevere and Win
When IN August. 1914" he went
on, we had to draw the sword we
knew we had to protect our hearths
and homes against mighty and al
most overwhelming coalition. Ar
dent, and until then unknown and of
ten ignored, patriotism famed up in
all hearts defying death and certain
OF victory. To-day, after two years
OF fighting, struggling, suffering and
dying, we know more than ever be-
fore that there is only one watch
word, namely, persevere and win. We
Will win. Last winter there was pusil-
Luminous anxiety as to whether our
foodstuffs would suffice. They have
sufflced. This years harvest makes
us much more secure than was the
case last year.
The chancellor said he realized the
troubles Of the people coincident with
the war and that he shared the deep
sorrow for the fallen and mutilated.
Il bow my head" he went on, before
the heroism with whiche women and
men without distinction of rank or
class bear their sacrifices, united in
an ardent love for the fatherland
Still more sublime and still greater is

The chancellor declared that the
German people again had an oppor-
tunity to show their appreciation of
the heroism of the army by subscrib-
ing the new war loan. He asserted
that the nation firmly believed in the
assurance of victory and was ready
for any sacrifice. II know we can
also rely on the fighters behind the
front" he said, ito give all their avail

work of our fighters in the field. With
clenched fists but open hearts we will
stand behind them. one man and one

Concluding his speech the chancel-
lor exclaimed:

Detection of Hydra to
ReUolutionists Causes
Excitement in Piraeus

Piraeus. Sept. 29.-The detection of
the revolutionists of the Greek war
ship Hydra in the small hours of this
morning has caused great excitement
in this Greek port. The Hydra. an
chored under the guns of the arsenal
last night, was silently boarded at
o'clock this morning by a party of
men in civilian dress.
The loyalist officer, second in COM
mand, was aroused from his bunk and
with pistols at his head was forced
with other loyalist officers to embark
in a rowboat. The commander, being
Venizelist. readily surrendered to the
boarders.
Two tugs were attached bv tow
ropes to the ship and as noiselessly as
possible she slipped her anchor chains
and was drawn by the tugs from the
company of the other Greek men-of-
war. Tho tugs towed her to Salamis
bay. where the allied warships are
stationed.
