RECRUITING MEETING
HELD ON SATURDAY

The first of the series of recruiting
meetings" under the auspices of the
city government and the Chamber of
| Commerce was held on the Common in
front of the Co. H tent, Saturday
night, at 100. There was a large crowd
in attendance and they listened to
some thrilling words from the speak,
ers, who had been selected for the oc-
casion. A good-sized squad of the Co.
H boys appeared on the Common at
about 1870 and the bugler for the COM
pany blew assembly, which quickly
drew a large crowd about the speak
ers' stand.
The first speaker was Ralph J. Pat
terson, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, who spoke of the object of
the meetings and the need of the city
to make Co. Fl the biggest and best
company in the Second regiment. He
told of how the matter had been plan
ned by the city government and by
the Chamber Of Commerce and called
for cheers for the city and for the
company which were given with a will.
He then introduced Mayor Meader,
who was greeted with cheers and who
spoke briefly on the necessity of the
city standing behind the company and
doing it's part to make the Waterville
fighting unit, the best that can be
raised.
Mr.. Patterson introduced as the next
speaker, Fred w. Clair, who originated
the idea. MI. Clair is an enthusiastic
supporter of Co. H and he gave a
thrilling talk which was interrupted
%;~a@~ with ohnnrc Az 1on1a rod
that it was the duty of every young
man with red blood in his veins to en-
list now in the home company, before
he had to be dragged out like a rat
from his hole, by a of h draft.
He paid his respects to Germany in
no uncertain terms. declaring that this
was a war against outlaws. against
murderers of women and children,
against men without a drop of human
feeling in their system and that it was
the duty of the United States to help
overthrow the system that has devel-
oped this. He made an exceptional ap-
peal for enlistments and declared he
was ready to go If his class was called.
The last speaker was Lieutenant A.
Raymond Rogers of the company. He
made a strong appeal to the manhood
Of the young men Of WatervilIe. spoke
Of the fact that but 80 more were
needed to make the company up to the
full strength and declared that it was
the duty of every man to stand behind
the President in this hour Of trial for
the government of the United States.
His talk was a strong n and 1t was
felt by those present that it was GER
tain to carry weight with the young
men of the city.
President Patterson announced this
completed the program Of the evening
but that there would be another on
Monday night, and a third at the OPP
era house On Tuesday evening, by
which time 1t was confidently expect
ed that the young men of the city
would have risen to the occasion so
that. the ranks Of Co. H would be full
and that a waiting list would be ready
to fill any vacancies that might occur
when the federal examinations were
taken.
Everyone present who was heard to

were asked by several of the members
or the organization which were ans
wered and which perhaps explained a
little more fully what had already been
stated. as some of the audience came
late and did not hear the beginning of

WAR BY TREACHERY

The German frightfulness, which
has been one of the dominant traits
of the barbarism employed by that
nation in this war, crops out in other
forms than murdcrous night raids on
innocent women and children and the
illegal and ruthless submarine war
fare. One Of the most unspcakable
varieties of her. damnable ingenuity
comes from Rumania. When Ruma-
MIA had renowned her neutrality
toward the Central Powers ii wao
found that Germany bad been for two
years clandestinely and under the
cloak of friendship importing into Ru'
mania large numbers Of Internal ma
chimes and test tubes containing cul-
lures of anthrax and CHAMBERS bacilli.
Taking advantage Of the immunity
from search which diplomatic officers
enjoyed, these Internal machines and
disease bearing tubes were taken into
German legation headquarters at Blu
karest with Instructions from German
Headquarters. as was afterwards re-
vealed, that they be put TO use in Ru'
