KENT'S HILL GIRLS
PATRIOTIC RALLY

kents Hill, Nov. 19.-Who says that
girls are not patriotic? Anxious TO take
an active interest in the efforts of the
country to meet the German wal plans
with a united front, the entire feminine
portion Of the student-body at Kent's Hill
and all of their teachers held a genuine
patriotic rally today in the lecture room.
ways and means were discussed with all
the vigor that comes from a deep and sin
cere determination to do something to
help the country in its warfare against
the enemies OF humanity. AS one speaker
put il, THE boys are called upon TO fill
the ranks of Americas millions, the men
are called upon TO assume stupendous
tasks in the world of production, the
women, your mothers and older sisters,
are doing their bit III connection with the
Red Cross and the Food Administration
and your fellow students of the male sex
are learning the rudiments of warfare in
their daily drills, and you alone or those
who have reached the age Of reason are
not doing anything as a class to help in
this supreme moment of our nations his
tory The girls needed little exhortation
as to their duty, however. II waited
with interest the unfolding of the plans
for war work that their speakers had pre-
pared for them. 1t was fnallyedecided L.
engage in special forms of knitting, rne
girls dividing into groups and each group
undertaking to outfit one or more SOL
diers with the various articles for comfort
that are not included in the regular outnt
of the soldier.
The meeting was called to order by Miss
Caroline Houston of Portland. who made
brief remarks setting forth the purpose
of the gathering. She then introduced
Mrs. J. O. Newton, wife of Principal
Newton. whose terse sentences were full
Of valuable suggestion. Following Mrs.
Newton came remarks by Helen Shaw OF
New York City setting forth the methods
of the Y w. c A. in the larger centers
and by many of the other girls telling
what girls Of school age have been able t.
accomplish in other lines of work. The
girls unanimously pledged themselves to
the work in hand and have requested the
officers and members Of the Young Wom-
ans Christian Association of the schoo,
to take charge of the work itself. The
first meeting of the workers will be held
with Mrs. J. o. Newton al the home Of
the Principal, Bletheu Hall, whose spa
cious parlors are well adapted to the work
that is being attempted.
The meeting had many special fea-
lures. notably an expert performance on
the drums by Miss Houston and a series
Of patriotic marches. by Miss Bagley on
the piano. Among the latter was a splen-
did parod- on Tipperary, ITS a Long
Way to France and Belgium" The meet
ing closed with cheers that rivalled the
best efforts of the boys. who, waiting out
side the assembly room. greeted their sis
ter-patriots with cheers OF appreciation,

League to Enforce Peaes Activity.

The League to Enforce Peace is be-
coming active in Maine. The Maine
State branch which proved its value 90.
a war agency in the second Liberty
Loan drive, has been asked by the Red
Cross to cooperate in its forthcoming
national campaign to get 10000, 900
new members. The appeal sem out is
in the form of a letter from national
headquarters of the League to Robert
H. Gardiner Of Gardiner. Maine, chair
mar of the League in Maine.
This League is being called upon
more and more to share in important
service, and every day its usefulness
to the government is more pronounced.
In the Leagues letter to Chairman
Gardner. it is declared that important
service for your organization con-
stantly throughout the war and in the
period between the ending of the war
and the final decision on questions of
peace in which the elimination of the
work for which the League was organ
lied. must come"
The League has pledged its best
service to the American Red Cross, and
the director of the Red Cross Speak
er's bureau has asked as a contribu-
ton of great value to the plan the i'm
mediate securing of lists Of men and
women who can. and will, speak before
audiences of varying kinds n num-
bcr5 during the week of Dec. II.
Most of us will agree with the letter
Of he League that it seems fitting
that the League should give its hearth
est cooperation to the Red Cross, of
whose central committee the League
president. former President Taft. is
chairman. And we will also agree that
the success of this campaign will be
another long step toward the Winning
Of the war.

Soldiers Can't HandIesHorses

High army officials are becoming
aroused to a remarkable situation in
army life. 1t is this: The change in
industrial conditions from horse to
motor transportation has treated a
new and unexpected difficulty in con-
-, nection with army mobilization.
Thousands of horses have been brought
together simultaneously with masses
Of troops, but the great majority Of the
men called for service by Uncle sam
% have absolutely no knowledge Of the
most elementary principles Of horse
manship. One high army official states:
THE mar who knows how to take
care Of animals in this country has be-
come very scarce. We must provide
thousands of men capable of taking
care Of horses and mules, men who can
shoe a horse. adjust a pack-saddle, or
drive a team. You cannot make a
horse-shoers, packers and teamsters,
but you can teach a mar to pack or
NIlNc d ledLl IN Two months. without
horse-shoer in less than four months,
we cannot have an army. The men
who handle m~achine-guns will be Of
little service unless they are taught to
care for mules"
r. This situation was foreseen In a
measure by men outside Of the army
service, whose first thought was hu-
name care for the animals drafted into
war service. The American Red Star
Animal Relief issued a booklet en-
titled, First Aid for Horses, for the
use of men engaged in handling war
animals. and placed it at the disposal
Of camp commanders. The demand for
this booklet has been so enormous that
a fourth edition is being rushed from
the press to meet the new situation.
No one asked what he thought OF war.
