OF the numerous towns and cities

nebec river, the delightful town OF
Richmond is worthy Of special men
ton in many respects. Richmond was
one Of the earliest places settled in
Maine, and in the Kennebec valley.
AS early as 1649 a Mr.. Lawson
bought this whole region from the In
dams for a mere song, and in 1851 he
sold it again to Messrs. Clark and
Lake who settled here about the same
time Gardiner was being settled. Dur
ing the French and Indian wars in the
early 18th century, Richmond was
one Of the important points strategy
cally on the whole frontier. Fort

ceived its name was built about 1919;
it was dismantled in 1884. After the
Revolution, in which it joined with
entire devotion and patriotism. Rich

day 1t is a hustling, thriving commun-

Of the town. especially during the past
decade, has been steady and substan-

POPE APPEALS
TO CHILDREN OF
PROSPEROUS u. S.

Rome. Oct. 1.-THE Pope has made an
appeal to "the children Of happy AMI
prosperous America to aid the million
and half unhappy children of Belgium"
The request Of the pontif is the result of
visit paid him by George Barr Baker
of New York, who came to the Vatican
at the instance Of Herbert Hoover. chair
man of the American Commission for Re-
lief Of Belgium.
Mr.. Baker told the Pope that the Bel
CLAN people were reduced below normal
weight and were suffering bodily ills
through under-nourishment He said that
tuberculosis was increasingly prevalent
and had risen from to over 10 per cent.
Mr.. Hoover proposes to give the children
a supplementary daily meal OF cup OF
chocolate or milk and one sweetened
biscuit made with lard. Experience has
shown that this addition to their diet
will maintain their condition at normal
and will restore those already weakened.
The cost Of this meal is three cents for
each child daily, and Mr.. Hoover hopes
to obtain the assistance Of the American
Catholic clergy in enlisting the American
children In relief work.

SACO WILL FIGHT
HARD TO SECURE
Ik|MbALL LEGACY

Saco, Me-, Oct. 17.-There is consid
cradle speculation regarding the leg
acy of 100000 given to the city of
Saco by Mrs Lucia Kimball Deering
of Boston, formerly of Saco, for the
founding OF an raliopaths hospital in this
city, to be called the Kfniball Memo
rial hospitaEs ( ~ ~ z ff.S ., /.
While it has been reported that. the
instrument Will sbe contested, one OF
the partiesssinterestedy says that 1T Is
not certain that such a step will be
taken. Nothing has been decided upon
as yet by the heirs and 1t will prob
ably not be known for a week if the
city will be obliged to fight for its
legacy. There are many rumors in cir
culation as to compromise being
made, but no one in authority will talk
for publication. 1t has been reported
that if the will was broken and the
heirs received a certain amount, that
the balance might come to the munich
pality and could be used in building a
schoOlhouse.
1t is argued that a schoolhouse is
needed more than a hospital. Others
declare that the city should fight to
the last ditch if necessary to gain pos
session of the 100000, and that it
should be used for hospital purposes
as intended by the late Mrs. Deering.
Many favor building hospital to
cost about $4,000 and to retain the
balance for the maintenance of the in
stitution.

It has become evident that the inteh-
ton of breaking through the northern
sector of General Brussiloff's line and re-
capturing Lutsk has been supplemented
since Rumania's entry into the war. Dy
a more audaciaus plan-a move at the
extreme southern flank by the Austro-
Germans in the hope Of separating the
Russian armies from their new allies.
To this end the Austro-Germans have
concentrated heavy forces at the southern
tin of Bukowina, where the southern flank
of the Russians joins the northern flank
of the Rumanians, and have begun an
advance south of Dorna Watra. accompa-
nying this with vigorous attack slightly
forther north in the region of korosmezo
and Kirlibaba, and parallel movement
against the Rumanians in Pennsylvania.

|Brussilof' $ Battle
Front Continuous Inc
from Koval to Rumania

Thus far the drive Of the Teutonic
allies against the Rumanians has been
more successful than against the Rus
SLAMS. for while the former are retir-
ing toward their own frontier, the
Russians have not, as far as is known.
at present, been compelled to give way
before the powerful offensive directed
against them.
The Austro-German movement, how
ever, is still in it's early stages and a
tremendous struggle is expected on this
part Of the front. Already the Russians
have begun counter-maneuvers as is
attested by the number Of prisoners
taken in the Kirlibaba region. where
the first attack of the Austro-G Germans,
in the view Of military observers, bears
little semblance of success.
Fierce fighting still continues south
west Of Vladimir Volynsk; in Volhynia
and south Of Brzezany in Galicia. At
these two points, covering respectively
the roads to Vladimir-V olynski and
Lember a continuous battle is being
carried on at close range, leading Oft
en- to bayonet encounters, but without
producing any decisive results.
