chaplain GcOTko l.. StSNSh5oh' :"
"sky pilot" of the United States Navy,
and lecturer of note. was the speak
at last nights meeting of the Rotary
Club. He has a most attractive per-
sonality which, combined with his
timely and patriotic address on the
subject of the United tSates Navy. held
the fascinated attention of the Rotar-
ians. His tribute to the personnel and
high character of the American blue
jackets won merited applause and as
BELTS man who has seen life behind
the guns, he fired some hot shots of
patriotic Americanism that went
straight to the mark.
In addition to his service on the
battleship Virginia, which forms the
subject matter of his lecture entitled
Around the World with the Atlantic
Fleet" he served on the cruisers form
erly named the California, Colorado and
West Virginia These cruisers were
later named the Santiago. Pueblo. and
Huntington-the names of the States
now reserved for dreadnaughts.
A communication was received from
the Rotary Club of Battle Creek, Michi-
gan announcing the adoption of the
following resolution:
1T is the sense of the Rotary Club
of Battle Creek, Michigan, that the
country's best assurance of peace is in
adequate preparedness for the country S
defense.
We bieve the need for that pre-
paredness is immediate and pressing,
If we are not to sacrifice not only the
prospect of peace, but the prospect as
well of national and individual Secur-
ity.
We regard this as the most import
ant issue that has been before the ma
ton in a half-century.
We believe adequate defense must
consist of a strong and well-armed
navy, an efficient standing army of
moderate size and universally trained
citizenship capable of being mobil-
lied when needed. We regard univer-
sal military training and universal
service in time of need as the logical
accompaniment to free government,
and as most wholesome schooling in
citizenship for the service either of
peace or war.
We urge upon Congress the most dill
igent attention to the needs for pre-
paredness until an adequate system is
established, and it's maintenance guar
anteed. We urge upon Rotary Clubs
and upon all other citizens a jealous
and an unremitting cooperation in be-
half of this need until the need Is ade-
quately supplied"
The foregoing resolution was en-
dorsed and adopted by unanimous vote
of the Augusta Rotary Club and the
secretary instructed to transmit a rec
ord of the clubs action to our sena-
tors and representatives at Washing
ton.
The temporary organization of the
Lewiston & Auburn Rotary Club was
announced, and an invitation extended
to the Augusta Rotarians to attend at
the permanent organization in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms, Lewis

ment was also made of the conference
of New England and Eastern Canadian

HARD WORK TO KEEP
STREETS PASSABLE

The streets and sidewalks of the city
are in bad condition for walking as
there is water over above every walk
and across the streets. The snow is
melting rapidly although as yet there
seems to be very little impression
made on it. The street department is
doing all in it's power to get the catch
basins open and the cutters cleaned
out so that the water will run off as
fast as possible but it is proving hard
job. and only the inventive genius of
Mr.. Estey and his ability to get great
amount of work done in the shortest
time make it possible for him to keep
the streets passable.
