party will go to the Colonial Theatre,

court house for roll-call at 6. Lines will
then be formed and escorted by the Bel
fast Band and the Boy Scouts to the
depot, where they will be entrained on a
special car attached to the To clock train,
enroute to Aver, Mass There will be
speaking at the depot, the last few minu-
tes being given to good byes.
A short parade has been arranged over
Church street to Miller, down Miller to
High, over High to Main and down Main
to the depot. 1t is especially requested
that there should be an extra display of
flags along this line of march and during
the stay of these boys in the city, that
Belfast should make every effort to have
the colors prominently shown.
The Belfast Band which has kindly
volunteered its services will report at
the Court House at lis a m. The Boy

should be left with Mr.. Dickey.
While Belfast saw a large gathering
at the Maine Central depot on the de-
parture of the last contingent, it is de-
sired that this may be even larger. The
picture of the faces of their sympathetic
friends bidding them goodbye will long
remain in the minds of our beloved SOL
diers. 1t is time to show ones patriot
ism and to cheer them as they depart.

Brief War Summary,

The sensation of the week has been
the exposure of the treachery and du-
plicity of Germany and it is believed that
more exposures are to follow. There has
been considerable fighting on the various
fronts. Gen. Haig has made an impor-
tant advance and has captured $500 pr;s-
oners. Minor engagements have occur
red almost daily in other sectors of the
line and the results have been favorable
to the Allies.
