Weather sharps say that the storm
came up from the south and is general
throughout this northeastern sector
Reports by wire from all over Maine
are to the effect that snow fell every
where in the State. Eight or nine
inches fell here and the sudden drop
of the mercury below the 81 mark on

the comparatively warm period Just

The Call OF, Spring
(Kansas City STAR


The Superintendent of schools of Al,
in a recent speech that the majority
of boys who play truant are feeble
minded. But perhaps he was misun-
derstood ..- .l,. .,-
1t will not do to encoura ge truaney..
but truth compels the statement that
every normal boy feels the inner urge
of spring and. just as the tree puts out
it's leaves to the sun and the warm
south winds. so the normal boy feels
the call to the open spaces. The boy
who lives in the city bankers for the
vacant lot and marbles and baseball.
If he lives IN the country he longs for
the covert down by the creek where
the bluebirds are busy among the
pussy willows and the first green Of
the violet leaves pushing up through
the sodden turf 49,. .... j,
Parents and schoolmasters must not
be discouraged about boy just be-
cause he plays truant once In 4 while
in the springtime. Truancy IL mostly,
just plain coltishness and ought to he
treated as such. THE. windows OF
youth look out on long, long road"
and the air these days is full Of the,
smell Of wood smoke. Of dead grass
drying in the warm sun. the song Of
birds and a thousand things that
tempt the boy to the open. =
1t is going to take patient effort to-
crowd those visions from his mind and
replaces them with an interest IN fraci
lions, the list Of the capes that pro-
trude into the Pacific and the spopula-;
ton Afghanistan. - ,

Dreams that have been scarcely more
than the merest dreams to thousands of
Portland Odd Fellows in years past were
realized when the new home Of the order
was opened on Forest avenue, Portland,
Monday evening amidst scenes Of the ut
most sayety. The opening exercises were
to have been preceded by huge parade
of the principal streets, and though the
Odd Fellows did not allow the sudden
advent of the snow storm to call the
parade off altogether. it was abridged to
some extent, the 900 marchers contenting
themselves with the direct route from
the former hall in the Old Baxter Block
to their new home just step down
Forest avenue. Presiding over the open
ing exercises was Sewall c. Ripley, chair
man of the general fair committee. and
with him on the platform when the hour
arrived for the ceremony. were Mayor
Chapman, Brig. Gen. William c. Miller Ut
Augusta, William A. Plummer. treasurer
of the Grand Lodge of Maine, and

These are the little things that out

AS a matter of fact. the training has.
not even pretended togo into the morel
advanced work which is necessary be-
fore troops can possibly be fully ef-
flcient in battle. Troops have actually
returned from the border without hav-
ing had any rifle practice at an while

reported that they were leading up
to extended order work Of the more
advanced kind. At the end of three

respect. and much has been issued but
much is still undone. At the end OF

Guord who was tied down by matters
beyond his control. Sometimes it was
by lack of experience in dealing with
bodies of troops Of size which the
Government had never permitted him

flexible red tape of our system. The
cause goes beyond the Guardsmen, be-
yond the army officer, beyond the War
Department. 1t goes beyond Congress,
to the. American people.
The hadd experience Of the present
mobilization shows that the American
people are not sufficiently interested to
find out for themselves the truth. and
to insist that Congress follow the ad-
vice of those who have told us for
years that war would find our troops In

CHANCE
in CALIFORNIA
FOR REPUBLICANS

San Francisco, Nov. 15.--Prediction that
the lowest Democratic elector in Califor-
MIA will run ahead Of the highest Repub-
lican elector was made tonight by Demo-
cratic leaders after watching the slowly
augmenting returns from county clerks.
THE difference will be about GOO in IA
Van Wyck, Jr. chairman of the Demo-
cratic campaign committee.
Available returns were not regarded in
themselves as an index of the situation
proportionately, because they were from
smaller counties most of which had given
Wilson good maiorities. They showed the
lowest Democrat 14,772 ahead. Nearly all
the big counties are still missing.
