Never in peace times have the entries

find great difficulty in obtaining trained

What a blow to their illusions was
the landing of American troops in France
and the enthusiastic acclamations which
greeted the battalions that marched
through Paris!
The manifestations of even those in

BILL. CARRICAN IN
SATURDAYS CAME:

Winthrop, Me-, July IA large
crowd assembled at the Winthrop ball
grounds Saturday Afternoon, big good
natured crowd, to witness an oldfash-
toned ball game. The Augusta and
Winthrop locals were the contestants,
and the game, while not SO fast as the
Trolley League contests, was thor
oughly enjoyed.
The big attraction which brought
auto parties from all the nearby towns
and cities as we'll as all the local fans
and summer visitors, was the appear
ance on the Winthrop team of the one
and only Bill Carrigan-the same Bill
who started his professional areer
right here in Winthrop when he cap
tanned the 1905 Trolley Leaguers, and
afterward mounted the ladder of fame
to it's topmost round as manager of the
Red Sox.
Billy elected first base as his posi-
stion. Squanto took second and the rest
of the team included Gale, Fortier,
Wood, Bell and Bissonette, with Tier
ney and Blair from Camp Bonhag as
a battery. Carrigan's individual rec
ord for the day included II putouts
and no errors in the field, and two sim
giles and a two Dagger in three times
at bat and one score.
The game itself was rather loose,
both teams showing lack of practice.
McGouldrick led the Augusta team
at bat and Carrigan was high line Tor
winthrop. Wilson played only three
innings Cor the locals, contributing a
perfect record both in field and at bat
with two runs, single and two
tagger ir two trips to the plate.
Tierney and Blair went well for
three innings, but in the fourth Tier
rev weakened and Augusta secured
three runs on three hits and three
errors, and came within one score of
the locals tally. Bisonette and Stock
ford replaced the Camp Bonhag bat
terry in the fifth and finished the game,
holding the visitors to two runs and
two hits.
Brennan was hit freely and also
showed lack of control
The game was called in seven IN

TELLS OF LIFE AT /.
U, s. NAVAL STATION

The following letter, written by
Matthias ]. Beres, former Dickinson
boy, to Major A. J.. Osborn of this
city, will be of interest to many
friends in this vicinity who like to
learn of the activities of the naval
training station, where young Beres
is stationed:
gan, July %, 1917.-1'm getting along
fine here and I still contend that l
am lucky for joining the Navy. l
never realized what opportunities are
open to a man here until these last
three or four weeks. At the Naval
Training Station it was naturally
hard for a person to advance owing
&C the IA t. that there r So many
men there to kc trained.
Here it is vast'J different. The
aim of our superior officers is to
strengthen US in both mind and body.
We have the regular Annapolis ply
steal exercise each morning, besides
a good ho.r:s work Oh the horizontal
bars. Then WI. have infantry drill
in the afternoon and usually a Few
hours of signal drill each day. Our
company consists of forty-eight men
and it is divided into three classes oe
Signalmen, 1st, End and 3rd. 1 am
in charge of the 1st class men owing
to a great deal of application to sig
mailing on my part. My intentions
are to study the semaphore, the Morse
Code and the International signals
until I am able to take an examina-
ton which will make me a first class
signalman. After a signalman once
is placed aboard a battleship he has
life a great deal easier than an ordi-
nary seaman, and the pay is also
higher. My commander has advised
me to do that and I think it is the
best thing for me to do. My physical
condition has also improved consid-
erably during my four months of en-
listment. I can almost feel myself
growing.
The climate, as you know, is rather
damp here, owing to the great amount
of water, but it doesn't affect me in
the least. We sleep in tents, and are
in fresh air all day long. That, it
seems to me, is what is bracing me
up so wonderfully. The scenery is
also very beautiful. When coming up
here on the U. S. S. Yantic it seemed
to me as tho I yer passing thru a
small part of heaven. The trees grow
to the very waters edge and as to
variety, l have never before beheld
as many as can be seen here. The
island that we are stationed on is
about twenty-five miles from Sault
Ste. Marie and about three times a
week the U. S. S. Macinac takes a
liberty party ashore and we invari-
ably have a good time. The people
treat US like gentlemen and as far as
I've been able to see, all sailors have
lived up to that reputation. I would
love to describe our camp life in de-
tail but owing to the lateness Of the
hour I am compelled to close, but
promise to write more in my next
letter. =.

The game of politics and it's results
are surely peculiar. Take for instance
S. D. Gregg, prominent farmer of the
Gladstone vicinity. A year ago he
devoted all of his time to his farm,
and was always out with the "glad
hand' to the visitor. The Press edi-
tor enjoyed the hospitality of MI.
Gregg and his good wife during the
"strawberry season." and to say that
we were treated royalty is putting it
mildly. Lo, and behold! Then came
the game Of politics into the life of
Mr.. Gregg. He became imbued with
aspirations for public office, but came
out of the race in the "also ran" class.
Now I've has soured at many Of his
old-time friends, and his decree is that
the Dickinson Press and its editor
must be put out of business. He even
went so far as to tell Governor Fra
zier's party at Gladstone on Saturday
that the Press had lost 100 subscriD-
ers all in one bunch. This is news,
indeed, especially in view OF The FAC,
that the Press today has more sub
scribers than it had a year ago; more
than it had six months ago; yes, more
than it had a month ago. We still buy
our print paper in carload lots.

EDUCATION AS USUAL.

President Finley, of the New York
State university, sounds a timely
warning. He says: "Do not let the
needs of the hour, however heavily
they fall upon the men and women OF
the day, permit neglect of the defense
Of tomorrow; sacrifice everything to
beoueath the spirit that has made the
~instituti;iH whicl we would preserve
md 'n'arE'e to our chit.;ren." In other
lords, let rs have education as usual.
The f merican people have been adj
vised to have "business as usual" to
carry on public improvements as u.s.
ual." President Finley points out the
fact that without "education as usual
Americas institutions, the very things
which the nation today is struggling
to preserve, will be lost because I'M
appreciated. By all mean let us have
"education as usual" though it cost
more than ever before.
