visitors Saturday at the State House and
called upon Governor Milliken. State

went over with the officers plans for
boosting recruiting in Maine. 1t Is
planned to distribute throughout the
State literature and letters to High
School students and their parents re-
garding the advantages of the service,
which is particularly interesting just
now. because of the 100 appointments

Gov. Milliken Pleased with
Progress of Legislature

No great upheaval has yet shaken
the 18th Maine Legislature, yet, for all
that the members of the law-making
body are sticking strictly to their jobs.
That is unusual. AS general thing,
there are few sessions of the Legisla-
ture when the Tuesday and Friday
meetings are not notable for the num-
Der Of empty seats. On "Wednesday
and Thursday. too. vacant spaces have
been all too frequently noticed.
This year 1917, however, has noticed
greater proportion of men sticking
around than has ever before been the
case. Governor Milliken, who has
kept in unusually close touch with
everything that has been going on. has
noticed this rs well as many other
things.
THE members of the Senate and
House are to he congratulated on their
attendance" said he in speaking of this
matter. at is true there have been
no great fights on the floors of either
chamber but there have been many
important measures up for censidera-
ton and there are many more to come
The legislators have kept informed of
the various matters in really unusual
edge of all that has been presented to
them"
Not only has Governor Milliken ex-
pressed his pleasure at the way In
which the members of the Legislature
have been attending to their duties.
but he is also extremely pleased at the
way they have, almost without eXcep-
ton, supported him in the various fea-
lures of the program he outlined In MS
inaugural message and in his budget
message. The budget plan was par
ticularly well received and the legisla-
tors. while, perhaps disappointed be-
cause some requests have not been
granted in full, have shown their 10y
atty to the Governor and demonstrated
their interest in the welfare OF the
state as a whole by favoring MS pro-
gram.

The Maine Service School

Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son is arranging for a feature in con-
nection with the National Guard that
should develop great interest and
prove of great value to the military
service Of the State of Maine The
plan provides for the establishment of
the Maine Service School of the Ma
tional Guard and is designed for the
preparation of those members of the
Guard who may wish to take the exam

1t was formerly the case that a civ
ilian could, under the proper condi-
tons, at once step into a commission,
but the new United States military
law has changed that procedure and
insists on military preparation and
knowledge and the man must already
be a member of the Guard. Boards
of examination for each infantry and
the Coast Artillery have been appoint

ed by Sec. of War before whom all
candidates from the ranks for orig
inai commissions must appear and
take the prescribed tests.
The course Of instruction in this
Service School will consist of an s.
hour daily routine work for two weeks
or more, according to the efficiency OF
the man, will be attended in room
at the State House and will begin
as soon as possible after the return

1t is expected that it will give a
great impetus to recruiting in the Ma
tional Guard, on account of the oppor-
tunity it will give to prepare for
eligibility for a commission in the
Guard and perhaps in the United

general has already received notice of
several well-known Maine young men
who wish to avail themselves Of this
opportunity. Complete details win
