Judging by the number Of business
as usual letters and editorials that
are appearing in the papers nowadays
there seems to be pretty strong feel
ing that the people are likely to ovcrdo
the economy idea if they arcn t care
full, thereby shutting off the very cur
rent from which the country expects
to get the power to run the war. The
Meddler will admit that all this talk
Of income taxes and increased postage
taxes and the like tends to tighten the
natural tension of the purse strings,
but when one stops to think over the
proposition he is forced to admit. If
he IS possessed of any patriotism at all,
that it is a might good thing that
there are such sources of revenue as
incomes and excess profits and postage
stamps and movies shows and tobacco.
! Otherwise where would we secure the
very necessary sinews Of war!

SUNDAY MAY BE THE LAST
CHANCE TO SEE SOLDIERS

The work of organizing the 26th
Division of the National Army, com
posed of New England National
Guardsmen, sis almost completed, ac-
cordlng to Maj. Gen. Clarence r. Ed
wards commander of the division, and
Lieut.. Col. George H. Shelton, Gen.
Edwards chief of staff.
The latter returned from Washing
ton Thursday, where he has been
working on the problem of equipment
for the division, personally attending
to every detail.
Both Gen. Edwards and Col. Shelton
expressed the conviction Thursday
evening that the division will be com
pletely organized by Saturday. ex-
planning that most of the work has al
ready been accomplished and that
what remains can be done in a very
short time.
Gen. Edwards has invited the Gov
ernors of Maine and New Hampshire
to review the 1o3 Regiment, under
command of Col. F. M. Hume of
Maine. on Sunday at Camp Bartlett.
Hampton Plains.
In this connection the suggestion
was very generally circulated among
friends and relatives of men in the
unit comprising the 2eth Division that
the coming Sunday might be the last
opportunity of saying goodby to the
soldiers.
Brig. Gen. John A. Johnston. who
succeeds Gen. Edwards as commander
OF the Northeastern Department. was
expected in Boston Thursday. but at
late hour he had not reported his ar
rival at the department headquarters.
The General, who has recently re-
turned to this country after six years
in the Philippines, Is convinced that
New England can and does furnish the
finest soldier material in the world. It
is only matter Of training. in his
opinion. to make the New England
troops the finest in the entire United
States Army.

ORDERED READY TO SAIL
Friends of End Maine Advised To See Their
Boys Sunday = Will Receive Training In
France Not Go For Several Weeks.

A Washington special dispatch to
the Boston Globe says: 1t became
known at the War Department today
that the New England division Of Ma
tlonal Guard troops is to be modified
at points to be named by Gen. Ed
wards on date to be selected by him
for service abroad.
Eventually the entire division will
sail from IAN Atlantic port"
While an impression today pre-
vailed that the New England troops
might be shipped very soon, reliable
estimate at the War Department has
1t that they will not go for several
weeks.
Both the 2sth CNew England)
Division and the 42d (Rainbow) Di-
vision, it is expected here, will be
ready to go as soon as shipping is
availa BILE
Confirmation of the recent report
that the New England division would
| not go to Charlotte for training was
given in the department in an an
nouncement that troops from the
Northwest would be sent there. in
stead Of to a proposed camp at Palo
Alto, Calf, where trouble has arisen
over the sewerage system.
The New England troops and the
Rainbow division" are being sent
abroad without preliminary training
IN this country. it was explained by
an expert. because these troops are
pretty we'll trained already and need
only the finishing touches best OBJ

They are considered ready for in
struction in the French and British

There is also talk of the psyche

George Washington would descend
from the frame canvass on the stair
way Of the west wing and drive back
to his stall" the big moose which per-
sisted in night prowls about the COR
ridors Of the old building, to create
such excitement as the disaster which
happened Friday to another of the
exhibits in the State museum.
People throughout the building dur
ing the noon hour were startled by a
great crash and its location could not
for time be learned, but finally it
was discovered that the gigantic lob
ster that for years has occupied a
place on pillar in the museum was
on the floor, with the also gigantic Ca
madam lynx, occupied place on the
same pillar. on top. Both were dead.
1t appears that the unusually damp
weather had loosened the board back
ground on which the lobster was
mounted, so that it fell apart and the
strings gave way, letting it fall. In its
tumble it carried with it the lynx. ap-
parently determined that it would not
go down alone.
The lobster, which weighed II pounds
