years pass on.
In the afternoon business meeting
an especially enjoyable affair in the BAN
quet rendered the veterans at the Bangor
House by business and professional men
of Bangor, who had great pleasure in
testifying in this manner their apprecla-
ton of the services rendered their coun-
try by these soldiers of half century
ago. The tables were very attractively
embellished by flowers and pyramids OF
small American flags. while the menu
was all that could be desired and was
served in faultiess style.
On the walls were to be read the names
of the battles which the First Maine Cav
airy is entitled to place upon its banner,
the longest list to the credit of any reg
iment that fought for the Union in the
Civil war. 1t is a very long list with
such names as Cold HarboI Gravelly
Road, New Market. Hatchers run, Ire
william Station. Spottsylvania, Farmville,
Yellow Tavern. Petersburg. Gaines Mills
and Five Forks, and many others, all re-
calling to the veterans the stormy days

day. a band of veterans of the Sec

spirit, they were again on the battle

manence Of the reunion. 1t was a
great reunion in every way and more
than one old veteran declared right

miss another Second Maine reunion as
long as he lived.

onel of the Second Maine, presided
over the exercises. following the fine
dinner served in the Clark bungalow
The veterans gathered on the front

than ever.
Gen. Farnham spoke Of Memorial

reverently observed. with fewer ball
games and sports. recited the follow
ing poem by Denis A. Mccarthy of
Boston, as exemplifying the spirit OF
Memorial day and the respect due the
old veterans better than anything he

21.-Renewed and full discussion IN
the Reichstag of the submarine issue
and the controversy which led to the
retirement of Admiral Won Tirpitz as
minister of the navy appear to be in
evitable in consequence of the pub
LEGATION yesterday of the letters ex-
changed between Chancellor Won
Bethmann- H ollweg and the admiral.
From these letters the public learned
that in a private conversation Pro-
fessor Valentin asserted Admiral Won
Tirpitz had misled the Reichstag in
regard to the number of available
submarines and the possibility OF a
submarine campaign. The admiral de-
manded that the chancellor discipline
Professor Valentin, but the chancellor,
while freeing the admiral from the
charges, took the position that the
professor was not subject to his dis
ciplinary powers.
These letters. however, touched only
the fringes Of accusations and allega-
tons which for months have zen cir
culating from mouth to mouth in con-

enforced. In a letter read before the
convention Governor-elect Carl E. Milf
ken said he hoped to be able to count on
every local w. C. T. U. in the State OF
Maine for their cooperation In the en-
forcement of the law. and could the flu
ture Governor of Maine have heard the
splendid things said about him and OF
what the Maine women intend to do he
would have no doubt of their co-opera-
ton.
Several speakers alluded to the fact
that it was not so much an objection
to the prohibitory law itself that arous-
ed antagonism, but the fact that the
law is not enforced Several speakers
also alluded to Rockland as having TAX
en- the right step in showing no parti-
atty and closing everything.
Mrs NJ K House of North Turner.
in a talk on the franchise. said that she
believed that the door was open for
State suffrage and men and women both
need education along this line. She urg-
ed every member to work and work
hard to arouse and stimulate an inter
est in order that their influence might
be felt at the coming Legislature. Miss
Anna A. Gordon, national president OF
the w. c. T. u. spoke few moments
this morning and said Suffrage ir
Maine Is coming" and she. too. alluded
to woman's vote as an influence in the
UNFOLDING and enforcement Of law and
order. She spoke of Mrs. Gertrude Stew
ems Leavitt's remarks that the rein
forcement Of law is up to the men.
but she felt that once woman had the
ballot in her hand much would be &C
complished that is now undone.
