Dr. Lewellyn Brown of Norridgewock
passed away Friday night after a pc
riod of failing health, dating back to
the fall of 1913. Long physician in the
midst of Somerset County people he
leaves a host of friends who will re-
call pleasant memories of his tender
ministerings in times of illness and
his kindly friendship in days of health.
He was probably the dean of the coun-
tvs medical fraternity having been
born in 1885, one year before the birth
of Dr. Ivory Lowe of Canaan. His
parents were Moses and Rebecca
| (Tobey) Brown and his grandfather
| Jonathan Brown, was one of the first
settlers in Clinton.
DR.. Brown passed the days of his
early childhood in Clinton, Kennebcc
| County, removing from that
town to Norridgewoek when seven
years of age. 1t was in there
that he acquired probably the rudi-
ments of his education later coming C
Skowhegan to attend Bloomfield
Academy. He taught school for time
and then went to Harvard University
from which he graduated as a doctor
of Medicine in April 1862
1t was during the same year thai
he graduated that he established him
self for the practice of his profession
back in his home town and in thai
historic old village he has contin
ued to reside. Interested in his sur
roundings, his influence was felt il
the community and in many ways h
was thoroughly identified with the af
fairs of the town and county.
The deceased was twice married
both wives being Skowhegan ladies
His first wife to whom he was wcddeC
in 1867 was Sarah A. White. tn,
daughter of David and Cynthia (Wick
wire) White who before her marriae,
was engaged in missionary worl
among the slaves in the south. Sh,

was again married March 12 1901 I,
Mrs. Mary A. Jewell widow of james
jewell and the daughter of William
and Hannah Warren of Skowhegan.

WARNS BRITAIN IF EXTENDED CONFLICT
Former First Lord of the Ad- miralty Urges England To Prepare for Much More War-Activity at Front.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

hONDONs Aug OH lut IIcSeH- tation of the motion today for the ad- journment of the House of Commons for the summer vacation. Colonel Winston Spencer Churchill, formerly first lord of the admiralty. initiated a debate on the conduct of the war. He said there was no certainty of a speedy ending of the conflict. German armies were more numerous and bet ter equipped than ever. but what re serves they had was another matter
 Colonel Churchill urged the country to organize for long war and to put food supplies and prices on aDwar bas- is. He also recommended the char tering of all shipping at admiralty rates to end the rise in freights which he called a national scandal Instead of restricting consumption by in creased prices. the government should control distribution of food supplies at home and overseas, he said.
 The long eastern frontier. Colonel Churchill argued, was the most yul- nerable and the inexhaustive armies that Russia is able to bring into op- eration should be utilized fully. There fore, he urged, the chancellor of the excheQuer to permit no financial con alterations to stand in the way of providing Russia to her utmost needs with munitions and equipment upon which. he said, everything now de- bends.
 THE SUMMARY
 Both allied wings on the Saloniki front, where the soldiers of at least seven nations are in battle. have been bent back by the Bulgarians. In the center, however. where the allies main force is being made at the en- trance to the great Vardar valley, Paris reports important gains.
 Nothing is said about tne Russian or Italian shade in the fighting and no information has been given as to their strength. The Serbians appar- ently have been the heaviest losers and have been forced back on their extreme left about i've miles from the Serbian-Greek frontier. They claim. however. continued progress on the other sections of their front. On the allied right British and French who had crossed the Struma towards the Bulgaran frontier have been forced back on the river.
 On the western front there has been little change The British continue their efforts to surround Thiepval and report the capture of 100 yards of German trenches in the direction Of Martinpuich. There has been no sec tion of importance on other sections. For several days meagre Russian re ports have insisted that nothing Of importance has occurred on the east. An interesting feature of the Russian official statement is the intimation that Grand Duke Nicholas again is pressing his offensive in the Cauca- sus. For the last two days Petrograd has emphasized the fighting around Dierbakr. but no important change has occurred.
 London claims a heavy blow against German on the sea. The British sub marine E-23 reports having attacked an 1S.COO German battleship and the submarines commander believes he sank it.
 There is no news from the Italian front where Hull has existed for seV- eral days.

Secretary Lansing Makes Pub lie the Personnel of Board Which Will Meet Similar Body From Mexico.
JUDGE GRAY AND MIR.
 MOTT ARE TWO MEN
First Question To Be Consid- cred Will Be Withdrawal of American Punitive Expedi- tion From Mexico.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-Secreta- ry Lansing announced tonight that the American members of the joint com mission to undertake settlement of differences between the United States and Mexico would be Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior; Judge George, Gray of Wilmington, Del, and Dr. John R Mott of New York City.
 All of the commissioners have ac- cepted their appointments, the Mex ican members were named some time ago and arrangements for their meet Secretary Lansing and Eliseo Are dondo, General Carranza's ambassa- dor designate Virtually the only question to be decided is where the sessions shall be held The Mexicans are understood to prefer some resort on the New Jersey coast.
 Secretary Lane who will head the American group. was tic first mem Der selected. Associate Justice Bran deis was President Wilson's second choice, but after a conference with Chief Justice White he decided his duties would not permit him to serve. Judge Gray. a retired federal circuit judge, and a former United States sen ator. has had much experience on in ternational bodies, and since 1900 he has been a member of the information al permanent court of arbitration un- der the Hague convention. Dr. Mott is general secretary of the interna- tional committee of the Young Mems Christian Association, and author or numerous religious works.
 The Mexican commissioners are Luis Cabrera, minister of finance; Ygnacio Bonillas and Alberto Pani. Both of the latter are engineers, and Bonillas is a graduate of the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology.
 Probably the first problem taken up by the joint commission will be the proposed withdrawal of American troops from Mexico, as suggested by General Carranza in his original note proposing the commission. As Gen eral Funston has recommended the re- call of General Perishing's expendi- tion this is expected to be agreed to by the American commissioners.
 General Carranza appointed his commissioner preferably to discuss this question, the protocol covering the crossing of the international border in pursuit of bandits, and in- might have been behind the raids into American territory. The United States refused to limit the discussion to these subjects and others undOubt- edly will be gone into. It has been suggested that out of the discussion of economic conditions in Mexico might come assurances that would make it possible for American finan- cial and commercial interests to of fer aid in the rehabilitation of the re- public.
 It is regarded as probable here that withdrawal of the Pershing expedition would be followed soon by the recall of the National Guard from the border Some high officers of the army believe that with Pershing's men added to the border patrol. and the additional men provided under the new army bill, General Funston would have a sui fic;ent force of regulars to adequately protect the border.
