In spite of this there are happy op- timists, so convinced of Germany's ex- haustion that they fool themselves with the silly belief that the military auto crats who rule at Potsdam are more than ready to give up all the conquered territory, pay any indemnity demanded, and enter into any guarantees that may be imposed, and agree willingly to dis armament and arbitration of interna- tional disputes, the sad part of 1t being it is pipe dream of the pacifists, pure and simple, and deserves to be laughed out of court.

in regard to the constitutional amend
ment proposed by the last Legislature
and adopted by the people at the
special election last September. rel
ative to the apportionment of repre-
sentatives in event of the merger Of
towns or cities. In order that the
general public may clearly understand

of State places upon this amendment,

not a little confusion has arisen
throuehout the State in connection
with the amendment relative to the

HOW ABSENT SOL
IDIERS WILL VOTE

Secretary of State Frank w. Ball,
while on recent trip to Washington
took up with the war and navy de-
partmentS the matter of the vote of
the State of Maine soldiers who are
at the various posts and environments
in this country and Somewhere in
France. 1t was learned that it would
be practically If not wholly impossible
to make any arrangements for the
Maine sailors to vote, because most of
them are on the high seas
Secretary Ball found the officials of
both the army and navy departments
willing and anxious to assist in every
possible way to permit the Maine SOL
der and sailor enjoying the same right
of franchise as though he was at
home and gave him assurances that
everything would be done in the way
of locating every man and assisting in
placing the ballot in his hand. etc.
I Certain limitations on what can be
done, of course, exist. owing to the
war conditions and particularly owing
to the number Of Maine men now in
France. Word was received from
Washington within few days that
the voting of soldiers must be limited
to United States senators, represent
atives to Congress and Presidential
electors. Members of the American
Expeditionary Forces will not be per
mitted to vote for State or municipal
officers or State or on municipal mat
ters. The letter from Adjutant Cen
eral II. p. Mccain. says in part:
1.-The policy that has been adopted
bv the war department with respect
to the casting of votes by members OF
the military forces Of the CniteC
States serving without the territoria
jurisdiction of the United States, is tt
limit the voting to elections OF Unltec
States senators, members Of the House
Of Representatives and Presidential
electors. Members of the United
States Expeditionary Forces VIII no
therefore be permitted to cast bailots
for State or municipal officers or upoi
state or municipal matters.
"The commanding general, Unltet
States Expeditionary Forces, france
has been directed to afford every prac-
ticable assistance to the Maine state
authorities with respect to permitting
officers and men Of the Maine Nationa
Guard to vote at the coming primaries
and elections within the limits spec
fled and YOU are hereby authorized 10
deal directly with that officer IN re-
gard to making all necessary arrange
ments in this connection"

May be found impracticable to permit
them to vote"

OF course, If they could have stopped
the train right then, they could easily
have recaptured me, blu. at the speed it
was going and in the confusion which
must have followed my escape, they
probably didn't stop within half of a
mile from the spot where lay.
I came to within a few minutes and
when l examined myself and found no
bones broken, didn't stop to worry
about my cuts and bruises, but jumped
up with the idea of putting as great a
distance between me and that track as
possible before daylight came. Still be-
ing dazed, forgot all about the barbed
wire fence along the right of way and
ran full tilt into it. Right there lost
one of my two precious pieces of bread,
which fell out of my knapsack, but I
could not stop to look for it then.
The one thing that was uppermest in
my mind was that for the moment
was free, and it was up to me now to
make the most Of my liberty.

GIRLS! LEMON JUICE
IS SKIN WHlTENER

The juice Of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white makes
a whole quarter pint Of the most re-
markable lemon skin beautifier at
about the cost one must pay for a
small jar Of the ordinary cold creams.
Care should be taken to strain the
lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no lemon pulp gets in, then this
lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon juice
is used to bleach and remove such
blemishes as freckles, sallowness and
tan and is the ideal skin softener,
whitener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and
make up quarter pint of this sweet
fragrant lemon lotion and massage
it daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands.

My invariable program at this stage
of my journey was to travel steadily
all night until about six in the morn
ing, when I would commence looking
around for a place wherein to hide
during the day. Low bushes or woods
back from the road, as far as possible
from the Travelled pathway, usually
served me for this purpose. Having
found such a spot would drop down
and try to sleep. My overcoat was
my only covering, and that was usu-
ally soaked through, either from the
rain or from swimming.
The only sleep I got during those
days was from exhaustion. and it usu-
ally came to me towards dusk when
It was time for me to start again.
It was a mighty fortunate thing for
me that I was not a smoker. Somehow
I have never used tobacco in any form.
I was now fully repaid for whatever
pleasure had foregone in the past as

addition to lack Of food and rest, I
had had to endure a craving for to-

drowsy and exhausted when the time
