KNIGHTS TEMPlAR
 IN REGALIA MARCH
 AWAY FOR OUTING
Annual Field Day of Com manderies of This Vicinity
 Takes Place at Momauguin.

With banners and plumes waving ilton commandery, No. 5, Knights Templar, marched away today for their field day and outing at Momau- guin, Cosy Beach. The Knights as- sembled at the Masonic Temple at 10 o'clock today and under command of Eminent Commander John J. Fisher and Captain-General George E. Beers marched to the railroad station where at 10:15 they took a special train for New Haven. The Wheeler & Wilson band played for them.
 Sergeant Ramsey and a detail of eight policemen led the line. The band played the colors into line in front of the Temple and then the line of march was taken up, State street to Main street, to Golden Hill street, to the railroad station.
 In New Haven the commandery was met by New Haven and St. Elmo commentaries with the Foot Guard band and the Meriden Military band. The Knights Templar marched to the Green where trolley cars were taken to the beach. There clam chowder was served and there was a review by A. w. Mattoon of New Haven, grand commander, and his staff. There was a baseball game and other field sports. At 3:20 the party en- joyed shore dinner at the Momau- guin house. The return will be made at o'clock, the commandery parad- ing to the Temple

He escaped from the prison camp which he was held in Austria and has arrived at Bucharest, it is an- nounced/ by the semi official news agency.

REILLY THINKS
 MAINE WILL GO
 FOR DEMOCRACY
Former Congressman, Cam paigning In Pine Tree State,
 FOresees Victory.
(Portland, Me-, Argus)

Former Congressman Thos. L. Reilly of Meriden, Conn.,, who was the father of considerable legislation of particular interest to postal em- ployees, and who spoke at the Demo- cratic meeting here last night, was given a token of the friendship of the Portland letter carriers, yesterday af- ternoon when there was sent to his room at the Falmouth hotel where he is registered, a mammoth bouquet ot sweet pease, ,>>the accompanying card bearing this inscriptions:
 From Branch 306, N. A. L. e. Speaking of the Maine campaign in which he has been taking part con- tinuously for over three weeks, speak ing in six counties, MT. Reilly said to an Argus reporter:
 eff the citizens of this state vote as they talk the Democrats will car ry the state. If Maine was to vote for the President next Monday, Pres ident Wilson would carry the State by a big majority. The trend toward Wilson is stronger every day and un- less something entirely unexpected oc- CUTS he will be stronger in November than he is in September in Maine as we'll as in all other parts of the Coun- try.
 ''The Republicans in Maine are just as barren of a real live issue as the Republicans in the other parts of the country are.
 "The campaign tour of MT. Hughes has been admittedly big disappoint- ment; in fact a frost The climate conditions in Maine at this time I am sure will be very congenial to him. The Democrats have given the State an excellent administration and there is no earthly reason why Governor Curtis should not be reelected If he is and the prospect is very bright, it's good night for Republicans in No- vember;' if he is not it simply means little harder work on the part of the Democrats. fThe revival of Dem ocracy in Maine is simply wonderful. From solidly Republican State of a few years ago it can now be put fin at least the doubtful column. The pro- gressive legislation that the Democrats have enacted will attract all really progressive Republicans.
 "The prospect of Democratic sue cess in Maine is very bright. unless all signs fail and the coming of MT. Hughes into Maine does not dim the prospect"
 Speaking of the bouquet sent to him by the Portland Carriers MT Reilly said:
 ''It is just like those grateful fel- lows and in line with other evidences of friendship I have received from the postoffice boys since I have been in the State. What is the cause of it |? When in Congress I introduced a bill and it was passed known as the eight tn-ten bill. It provided that the eight hours which carriers and clerks in first and second class office work should be completed within ten conse- cutive hours, instead of being spread out over much larger period. There was other legislation too. and the re- suit is that there have been very
