Governors to Make Him
Recruiting Officer.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1-Skeleton

cement was made by five New Eng

Hken of Maine. Graham of Vermont.
Holcomb of Connecticut and Keyes of
New Hampshire, came here with two
propositions. First, they desired
that the 1900 men comprising the
skeleton regiments which remain be
used as a nucleus for a New England
division. be filled out by taking draft
ed New EnElanders from Camp De-
vens. Second, failing to have the first
proposal granted, they desired author
ity to recruit the eight regiments to
a division. Gov. Mccall said after the
conference that Mr.. Baker had shown
them clearly why neither proposition
could be accepted.
The governors intended to ask per-
mission to enlist the services of Col.
Roosevelt as a general recruiting Of
ficer had Secretary Baker authorized
the recruiting up of the regiments in
the federal service, although in camp

mory Of the Oldest Pendletonian. a
rainless October has been recorded in

the 23rd Of the month there was a
trace Of rain but not enough to mea-
sure.
The lack of precipitation during Oc-

Vincent asked for an ordinance
whereby proper trimming Of trees un'
der the supervision of the city can
be had.
Dr. Vincent declared to the coun-
ell that his company has legal right
to cut down any tree or lop off any
limbs that interfere with the service
which his company gives and he cited
number Of court. decisions uphold
ing his claim. However, he stated
that his company did not wish to be
arbitrary in the matter but merely
wanted the city to stand between the

matter to the end that injustice be
done to neither.

GERMAN PLANS ANCIENT.

"The Entente Allies have appealed
to the conscience of mankind" de-
clared DR.. David Jayne Hill, former
Ambassador to Germany, in his 3ec-
ture at the Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, Baltimore, under the Schiller
Foundation Tuesday afternoon.
During his remarks DR.. Hill cited
excerpts from inflammatory pamph-
lets spread through Central Europe
by the -Germanists before the
war.
Even as far back as 1885, the Ger
mans, or the more radical element,
were apparently lusting for world do
minion, he said. Dr.. Hill repeated
the predictions of a writer of that
date who had constructed maps show
ing world wide German empire, and
pointed out how it would be acquired.
Among other things, France was to
cede large portions of her eastern
frontier and to pay huge indemnity.
Among plans set forth then was
the seizure of Cuba and the Philip
pines by the German Empire. Cuba
seemed to the Germans an ideal point
from which to dominate the Gulf of
Mexico "and to establish a closer
connection with the 100000 Ger
mans in America"
and, although I do not assert
that these ideals were held by the
rulers of Germany" he concluded, sit
is nevertheless significant fact that
90 per cent of it has been at least
temporarily, carried out since 1914"

The gathering was held at the house
