WATERVILLE BRANCH
FOR FRENCH WOUNDED

! There was a large attendance at the
meeting Friday afternoon of the Wa
terville Branch of the American Fund
for French wounded, and much work
was accomplished for the cause. Mrs.
Stobie read a number Of letters from
French soldiers who had received the
! comfort bags which have been sent out
by the local ladies. showing how great
was their appreciation of the work that
has been done in their behalf. Miss
Mary Redington read bulletin from
the French government regarding the
matter and also a statement regarding
book on the treatment of the Eng
lsh nurse, Edith Caville, which is be-
ing sold by the association and the pro-
ceeds going for the work.
The following is the latest appeal
from the American workers in France
to the A. F. F. w. OF America.
APPEAL FOR HELP FOR FRANCE.
March so, 1917.
If, as seems probable, by the time
this bulletin is printed, our own coun-
try IS at war, we earnestly beg OF you,
therefore, not to cease giving your
help to our friend-and our ally
France. Rather let us redouble our eff
forts giving to our own as need re-
quires and giving as well more gener-
ously to heroic and suffering France
France. when we were struggling for
our existence as a nation. gave us Of
her men, her money. her ships. Today
her soldiers, fighting with an unpar-
alleled heroism, are, as has been said,
making Of their breasts a wall of de-
Tense for their country" This wall is
our own first line Of defense. They are
paying the price-we are benefiting.
For nearly three years the women of
France have given up husbands, sons,
brothers, without e tr1urmur; have
nursed, toiled and suffered. France has
opened her arms to refugees from Bel
GUM and from Servia; has shared her
all with them. Now the retreating enc
my is leaving behind him a trail Of
ruin, devastation and suffering such
as the world has never before seen. To
the horrors and suffering of battle is
now added for every soldier from the
invaded district (one-third Of France)
the knowledge Of what he feared-the
misery, the torture, the ruin of his own
family.
At such time. we must not, we can
not withdraw our help: rather let us
increase it, bringing to France as far

City Marshal Finnemore and Headquar-
tiers Officer Davis were called to the Mess
alonskee stream Friday morning by the
report that a canoe nearly half full of
water was floating down the stream. and
it was thought that probaly someone had
been tipped over in it and perhaps drowr-
ed. The canoe was secured and hauled
up on the bank and 1t was found that
there were two holes in the bottom and
a number Of rocks were in it, SO it Is
thought by the officers that it was taken
and pushed out into the stream and rocks
thrown at 1t until the holes were made
and it commenced to sink and then 1t was
left to go to destruction on the dam. 1t
was hauled up on the bank back Of the
home of Elwood Jepson on Burleigh
street.

LOCAL BASEBALL FANS
PLEASED WITH GAME

Local baseball fans were much pleased
with the game put up by the Colbv team
Thursday With only four days practice.

team went out and played first class base
ball and, best of all. seemed to have a
punch in their bats when It was needed.
1t was expected that the game would be
an easy one for Maine. which has been
playing under the coaching of Cross, who
handled the men last year, but the Colby
boys showed surprising ability to come
back after the Maine team had obtained
a good start in the first inning. Huber
behind the bat showed up finely and, bar
ring his one slip ct the start OF the game
Ashworth did a good job on first. Both
pitchers tried. Pagan and Gateley, did
good work, and the battery question
seems to be settled for the year. At Sec

men, did fairly we'll although they lost
couple of chances for double plays. Dris-
coll at third was the same old reliable as
last year In left field Buchanan did all
that was expected of him In fielding but
his hitting or. rather. lack OF hitting was
a great disappointment to the fans who
knew something Of his record. Acting
CAPTAIN Joe Deosey was good In center
field. while Greenlaw. who took Buck
MANS Mace in left field, got a good clean
hit IN his one time at hat. In right Geld
two men were tried ont, Lawrence and
TYLER. and neither Of them looked any
too good. On the whole, however. the
team looks 20 be on that will he capable

on the team seem to have the ability to
