and Birth Rate Nearly Equal.

| During the months of October and No

ing the same time six deaths have been

| A letter was received a few days ago by
/ Robert Heating from Jack Curtin, well
known in Eastern Maine as a catcher,
having played for several seasons on the
Easterns and later with Belfast. Curtin
enlisted early last summer and was sent
over the seas in June. He writes that he
is about five miles back of the firing lines
with the engineers, and it is very likely
that he was in the recent drive in which
the engineers were caught and did such
valiant service. In his letter Curtin says
that while he has not been in the trenches
j he has been stationed close to them and
has seen lots OF bomb firing and liquid
fire. He writes that while many or the
boys with whom he has played ball are
lover there" he has seen none of them.

DETAILS OF PARDON
Of Charles w. Morse
May Be Revealed in
Suit Brought by Wat
erVille Man

New York, Dec. 9.-The nature and i'm
portance Of a suit begun last May against
Charles w. Morse, the former banker and
steamship man, who was pardoned by
President Taft while serving a sentence in
the federal prison at Atlanta, was reveal
ed Saturday when bill OF particulars
was filed in the federal district court here
Morse is now head Of the United States
Steamship Co., which recently was award
ed contract by the United States gov
eminent for the building of 80 steamers.
Until the presentation of the particu-
lars asked for by Morse's attorneys, all
that was known concerning the suit was
that 1t had been brought by Walter E.
Reid, a steamship man of Waterville, Me,
to enforce payment for services rendered
Morse, in his answer, denied having
made an oral contract with Reid as had
been claimed by the latter The bill of
particulars alleges an oral contract was
entered into between Morse and Reid
while they were travelling on q train IN
Maine on Aug. TO- 1909, whereby Reid was
made Morse's agent and representative
in his financial affairs and in the case of
the United States against Morse growing
out of the Bank of North America
frauds. 1t is also stated that in compii-
ance with the alleged contract Held corr
tnued to act as Morses agent and rep
resentative during the two years the
banker was in prison.
A reference in the bill of particulars to
Reds execution of directions concern
ing steps designed to procure a pardon or
Communication of sentence of defendant"
Indicates the possibilities of details being
revealed of how Morse obtained the pres
idential pardon.
MANY of the details of these mat
ters,' it is stated, were the subject
of correspondence which the plaintiff
left in defendants possession and ac
cordingly plaintiff can furnish said de-
tails only by reference thereto"
The particulars not being consider
ed full enough by Morses counsel,
Judge Martin T. Aianton directed
Reid's attorney to supplement them by
furnishing names. dates and places, and
to describe "unwise enterprises" in
which Reid alleges, he prevented Morse
and his wife from engaging.
Morse, on being convicted of violat-
ing the National banking laws, entered
the Atlanta penitentiary on January
l. 1910, to serve sentence of Is years.
When he was believed to be dying,
President Taft pardoned him on Feb
ruary l, 1912.
Another suit against Morse for COM
pensation for alleged services was
brought in the supreme court in 1914
by Max c. Baum, real estate dealer
of this city. He asked for 100000 and
claimed that it was largely through
his efforts th-NPresident Taft was in
duced to pardC'h Morse. Baum declar-
ed that he was retained by Morse both
at conferences and by letter and was
promised he would be made wealthy
beyond his widest dreams" if he sue
ceededs in bringing about the finan-
cier's release from the penitentiary.

MAY CALL SECOND
DRAFT IN DECEMBER

Washington. y. c.. October IL
discussion OF the ACCESSIBILITY OF eX-
)editing the call for the second in
,rcmcnt Of the draft army now is IN
,roprcss at the War Department and
appears likely that the date may be
6xcd for some time in December or
January. Mobilization OF the first
increment OF 687 600 men is now lar
enough advanced TO show clearly that
there will be big deficiency Tor the
Seventeen National Army division.
More than 100000 OF the first increm-
ent are still to be assembled, but ii al
ready is evident that there will be
available at the sixteen cantonments
quarters for an additional regiment at
each post and at some for full bri-
gadc OF two regiments.
The strength Of the new regimental
organization is 5000 men. With a
regiment lacking at each cantonmcnt
this alone would mean a shortage OF
nearly $4,000 men. In addition there
has been authorized separate divis-
ION Of negro troops, which means
near 10000 men withdrawn from the
original number assigned to the sly
teen cantonmcnts.
The shortage is due partially to thr
necessity OF taking out Of National
Army men to fill up National Guard
divisions.
Two complete National Army di-
visions of Southern troops have been
absorbed in this way TheTemnants
Of three other Southern National army
divisions will be consolidated to
! form single divisional. unit, and the
surplus men from other camps will be
sent South to make up the missing
divisions.
Drafts ON the National Army forces
also must be made TO ill up the en-
listed personnel OF the aviation ser
vice, the medical corps and the ser
vice battaions needed behind the
I fighting lines abroad Eventually
there will be 100000 men in the last
/ named service alone and aviation and
medical service will take nearly as
many more. though not all of them
/ will be taken from the National Army.
Operating to delay the calling out
| of the second increment to make good
: rnese shortages are several factors.
Clothing and equipment is coming
onward only at a rate that can meet
the demands OF the forces already
called. and the railways of the country
have been overburdened with the job
| Of moving the army without hinder
ing freight shipments vital to the al
lies Fixing the date of the call for
the, second inCrcments probably hing
es upon the careful study being made
! by Provost Marshal General Crowder
and his assistants of the results Of the
plan followed in assembling the men
called first.
Many questions have arisen which
and substitute regulations to guide
it. may be desired to avoid hereafter
