WOMEN'S CLUBS TO
EXHIBIT WAR POSTERS

One of the most interesting things
which had been prepared for the fall
meeting of the Maine Federation of
Women's Clubs, and which it is ex-
pected will still be offered, though the
meeting has been postponed, is a
which has been loaned to the Fedora
ton by its owner, through the cour-
tesy of Miss Anna e. Smith of
Brunswick, member of the art
committee.
Mrs. Henry w. Cakes Of Auburn is
the chairman of this committee and
eagerly grasped the opportunity when
offered.
The posters were bought in France
and are all of foreign make, by the
finest artists of the countries which
they represent. They are valued al
,apre than seven thousand dollars
nov, and are rapidly rising In price
Great care is taken of them in
/ transit, and much responsibility, az
well as a great privilege, is thus as
sumed by the Federation.
The exhibit will be made in the in
terests of the Augusta Red Cross, and
will be held in the Unitarian church
parlors as now planned. They arc
really a wonderful collection of arts
tic sketches from the hands of tho
best artists in the world, and big
attraction for the Federation meeting
A separate room win be given tc
American Posters, as well. and to the
rcsters sen. in competition from the
school children of Maine for the
prizes offered by the Women's Lib
erty Loan committee.

Search for the body of Gedeon Cos
selin of Mill street, who is supposed
to have been drowned in the ken-
nebec river Sunday night when ms
boat in which he had started home
from the Cushnoc paper mill was
carried over the Augusta dam, was
resumed Tuesday morning and con-
tinued during the forenoon but With
out results. Search was made both
above and below the dam but the cur
rent was SO strong especially below
the dam, that with the high wind
which was blowing the task was a
very difficult one and also dangerous
on account of the many rocks thar
are Just under the surface of the wat
er.
The men who were working the
grapnels were handicapped by the
fact that the river in the vicinity OF
the dam is wide and also because no
one knows where the man went into
the water, whether it was above or
below the dam. There are those VINO
believe that he was drowned above
the dam and that his body will be
found in that locality. but others
think that he was pitched out or
Jumped from the boat as it went
over the ram, and that his body was
carried by the strong current that is
running and in this way was car
ried for some distance down the riv-
err before it found a resting place on
the bottom. The searchers have
nothing to go by that would aid them
in the way of furnishing clew as
to where the drowning took place,
and there was a feeling yesterday
afternoon that the body would not
be found until it comes to the sur
face somewhere down river.

REMARKABLE WORK OF
seth PIONEER INF.

A copy Of the inspection report OF
the 56th Pioneer Infantry, formerly
the LIST Maine H. F. A. (Milliken regi-
ment) is Of interest to the people of
Augusta and ali Maine. 1t reads as
follows:
COPY.
REMARKS BY INSPECTORS.
September 2, 1918. the seth Pioneer
Infantry has a personnel OF officers
which is remarkable for it's efficiency,
considering the fact that they have
been organized only three weeks.
They are handling q regiment, one
fourth of the men of which have
been assigned TO them within four
days. The last company arrived at
Camp Merritt, September list at 1000
A. NJ. They Immediately set to work
with zeal and efficiency and they ac-
eomplished the equipping of their
regiment in time hitherto unbeaten
by any other regiment that has
passed through here. Three of the
companies left fully equipped within
eighteen hours Of their arrival and
the others, are now fully equipped
within the thirty six hours Of their
arrival, thus exceeding the record
made by the l19th and 12oth Infantry
last May. Another feature is in re-
freshing contrast to nearly every
other regiment which has ever passed
through Camp Merritt: that they
leave without one absentee without
leave. While the same cannot be
said of their men, the officers are
equal in snappiness and military ap-
pearance to the officers of the 123d
Field Artillery, hitherto the best
regiment that has passed through
here. Credit for this condition must
be given to Col. Arthur T. Balentine.

Henry G. Boyer, Jr., seth Pioneer In
