vided that retired warrant officers de-
tailed to active duty should receive re-
tired pay based on the length of their
former service plus the length of their
active service since retirement. 1t is
stated that the measure would have
proved of great benefit to many de-
serving officers in the navy had it been
enacted into law. Congressman Farr
endeavored to secure favorable con-
sideration for his bill by the naval
committe, but lack of time precluded
action upon it. The bill will doubtless
be reintroduced in the next Congress,
and better success for it is predicted
at that time.

time the heavy ash butts are landed in
the village and beaten by axes to peel
off the long strips of material that the
Indians use to complete their novel
ties. For many years the tribe mem
bers have manufactured their own dyes
to stain the ash strips. and produced
coIors that were wonderful, but this
method was found too slow for modern
use and the dyes are now bought. A
few sled loads of heavy ash bushel

Eastport by the Indians for later use

At Eastport short time ago some Oh

solving the problem of the high cost OF
living. They found their way under
certain coal wharf where large quantl-
ties of coal were kept. and by cutting
hole In the planks directly under the

residents who have been short or fuei.
The owner found no difficulty. however
in locating the houses where thessoft
coal was burned as the smoke from the
chimneys disclosed this. A FEW people

Word comes from Portland that If
this country becomes embroiled to the
extent of needing troops, an Irish
brigade" or at least a regiment Is in
prospect, with 500 young fellows of
Irish parentage ready and eager to fol-
low the colors in a distinct organiza-
ton much like that of the brigade of
like nationality which won undying
fame in the Civil War. Another in
stance of preparedness reported in that
city is in assembling at least SO young
men, many from the first families in
the city, to study tactics and qualify
by taking an examination later as
eligible for appointment in the Officers
Reserve Corps. Capt. Samuel G.
Shartle, U. S. A, who is stationed in
Maine as National Guard instructor
inspector, is leader In the plan to have
school of instruction two nights
every week, for three months, and then
enroll those who are successful in the
examination as reservists.

Railroad are finding it very difficult to

Judge Drake of the municipal court
has been kept busy considering the
cases of the offenders, practically all Of
whom have been given sentences in the
Somerset county Jail at Skowhegan.
Hereafter all the prisoners, except
DRINKS, at the county jail at Alfred
will be photographed when they enter
the institution and in this way a

boyhood. saw much service with the
Confederate army though not an en-
listed man, was wounded seven times
and saw many of the most thrilling
battles. Strange though 1t may seem,
captivity brought him freedom. He
was with the remnant of Lees army in
Its retreat back into Virginia after the
disastrous Gettysburg campaign, and
was captured by the Union forces at
Manassas Gap a few weeks later. He
was sent to Alexandria. the city from
which he had taken his departure early
in 1861. there met his fainter and moth

than two years. was set free by his
captors and worked his way North. He

years ago. and was employed in the

entered the employ of the Portland

So important are tn--. says the CO.

tente's schemes TO isolate the central
powers commercially. The organ
ization Is planned Of an all-embrac-

ing the Development OF international

league has undertaken an active
propaganda IN Polish trade circles.
and the incorporation of a joint

DISCUSSES INFLUENCE
AND SPHERE OF ANGELS

The power and influence of an
gels was discussed by Capt Ne
hemiah Brookes before the Saliva
ton Army last evening. The sphere
of work OF the angels is not confined
TO the regions of heaven, but in
cludes the earth as well, was the
point brought out by Capt. BroOkes.
During series of great crises and
agonizing trials of life, angels rem
der comfort. cheer mad deliverance. 80
declared the speaker. Take the
case Of Peters Imprisonment at the
time OF King Herod's persecution
OF the Christians as an example"
Hell on earth is made by those
who lead in SHINING against Gods
command" went on the captain.
The Holy Spirit and angelic hosts
OF God take no part in evil, but aid
III defending the right.
The way of fool is right in his
own eyes. but not in the sight of
God" concluded Capt. Brookes.
