Albert H. Frost Post, No. q. q. A.
R.. of Winthrop was one Of the first
instituted in this State. being organic
ed June s. 1879, with 20 charter men,
bers. At one time. there were 149
members. 1t now numbers only eleven.
It has preserved its organization in
tact to the present time. Early in its
history a Ladies' Relief Corps was in
stituted auxiliary to the Post and has
been one of the chief factors in keep
one department commander, Hon. L. T.
Carleton. and various other officers Of
the State department.
OF late years-aside from the exer-
cises Of Memorial day-there have been
two prominent or Red Letter" days
each year in its existence that stand
out clearly and are looked forward to
with much interest. One is the annu-
al election of officers which occurs on
the first Thursday evening of Deem
Der. This meeting has for years been
at the home of Comrade NJ N. Free
man. charter member of the post and
an old Third Maineite. His baked
beans, chowders, coffee and pies all
cooked by himself have been greatly
enjoyed by members of the post and
invited guests No professional cook
even could prepare and serve a more
appetizing, satisfying menu.
The installation of the officers-elect
takes place on the first Thursday eve
ming of January in each year. Past
Department Commander Carleton, for
years by invitation, has been. the in
stalling officer. this interesting cere-
mony taking place in his spacious
home on Main street. Like Comrade
Freeman, Comrade Carleton on these
occasions always furnishes great
treat although differing somewhat
from Comrade Freeman's He always
invites out the old soldiers. their wives

center of river traffic. Hankow has but
one line of railway connecting it with
Picking; consequently the control of
the Yangtse river by enemies of the
government would practically isolate
Hankow and make it impossible for
Picking officials to avail themselves of
supplies in the Yangtse valley, the
richest section of China.
Cabinet Confident 1
At presene the government has 90
600 picked troops at Marking, and
cabinet members are confident there
is no chance for enemies of the admin
istration to produce disaffection there.
About the same number Of troops Isl
located at Hankow and at Wuchang
and at Hanyang, the two cities adjoin-'
ing Hankow which really form one
great settlement.
Ho Hai-Min and a number of other
revolutionists who figured in past
troubles are known to have been in
Shanghai when the movement was
made against the Kiang Nan arsenal.
These leaders are supposed to have
been instrumental in inspiring the
trouble, but Chinese papers are al
most unanimous in charging that
Japan actually furnished the sinews
for the outbreak. Sun Yat-Sen and
other enemies of Yuan Ehi-Kai now
in Japan are charged by the Chi
nese press with having connived with
Japanese officials in the arrangement
of the Shanghai outbreak.
The tactics used by the rebels who
got control of the training ship Chao
Ho are identical with those resorted
TO in the revolution of 1911.

Picking, Dec. S.-(Correspondence Of
The Associated Press) .-President
Yuan Shi Kai is moving all military
stores as rapidly as possible away
from centers subject to attack by the
revolutionaries. Even before the re-
cent attempt to capture the klangnan
arsenal at Shanghai much of the ma
chinery from that arsenal had been
moved to the Hanyang arsenal at
Hankow. Military stores at Shanghai
also had been sent to Tehohow, locat-
ed in the interior on the railway con-
Meeting Shanghai and Picking.
Politically all the troops now locat-
ed along the Yangtse valley and in
South China are northern men. For
months there has been constant
movement of soldiers. arms and am
munition, directed with a view to re-
placing any troops in important STRAIT
egical centers whose loyalty to the
president was not beyond doubt.
Expected Other Outbreaks
When the trouble broke out al
Shanghai, it was feared that similar
outbursts might occur at Marking or
at Wuchang. These two points on the
Yangtse river were revolutionary
strongholds in former days and are 10.

HankoW is even a more important

of the Yangtse. Many ships sail direct

Bess HIS articles concerning the
