probably all too soon. although not
before the boys themselves wish to- be
in the fight.
The exact reason for starting such
foolish reports cannot he learned or
understood. 1t was probably a case
of misunderstanding some military
gossip or conversation. which re
suited, in its endless repetition. of
the rumor that our troops were not
to engage in the fighting until our
army had reached large proportions.
We had been led to believe that
over half million men was a size
able army-and Secretary of War
Baker told us that over that number
had gone across since January l. We
had been led to believe that the
Americans had been quite prominent
IN the defence of their trenches and
active in the harrassing of the en-
envy opposite their positions-but it
may not be so.
In the meantime, we are told that
troops are being rushed across in
numbers exceeding all expectations
as to shipments and that these troop
shipments are to be still further In
creased during the next few months
We have no fear but that American
soldiers will be permitted to have a
full share in that task for which so
many Of them have donned the uni

fraternity connected with Morse
High School at Bath for upward Of
40 years, is at stake This society
was organized solely for debating
purposes, but at frequent periods the
society has had difficulty owing to
its form of initiation. One of these
recent ceremonies resulted in bring

before the Board of Education to
explain matters. This was followed
last week by a conference between
the school authorities, active and
honorary members Of the society. A
new constitution and bylaws are to
be drawn up and submitted 10 the

Watch Chains Disappear.

A London (England) West end jew
eler says that two things seem to be
passing out of fashion owing to the
war-watch chains and cum links.
Both these articles were on the
wane before the war, but wrist
watches, being essential for officers.
brought them quickly to the fore, and
civilians have been rushing to buy
them, in many Instances selling their
watches and chains to buy the handler
time piece.
So with links. The soft double cuff,
wlhch was such n nuisance to get them
into. began their downfall and then
khaki shirts made to button at the
wrist completed 1t. Now one sees even
the best dressed men with shirt cuffs
buttoned at the wrist. and the links
are put away in the drawer with the
