.CREDITABLE
POSTERS BY
YOUNGSTERS

Il is almost impossible to conceive Of
youngsters doing work of such quality
as was shown in the display OF posters
at the aldermens rooms Tuesday after
noon, that were made by the pupils of
the Waterville public schools. From the
little tots in grade one 10 the children
Of the eighth grade there was work
that was a delight to examine. for no,
only the mechanical part Of the task
but the ideas expressed in the word :
and the drawings were worthy Of clos
attention.
The work Of eight grades was shown
by Miss Lang. The idea originated in
the national poster contest and Miss
Lang has sent several to Washington to
he entered in that contest. This arouse |
an interest in the work among the pu-
pills and today dozens Of these posters
will be shown in the stores of the city.
with their premiums attached The
posters were Judged Tuesday after
noon hyemembers Of the thrift stamp
committee. those present being Fred W.
Clair fchairman), George A Weed. H
r. holland and Clarence L. b. Walker,
with Miss TldeHe Terry, who is versed
in the poster art.
Every idea was well worked out and
the mechanical work was excellent. The
freehand cutting OF letters by the pu-
pills OF the lower grades was really re-
narkable and the posters were mos,
attractive and very effective. II was a
hard task for the committee to pro-
nounce its decisions. They took into
consideration workmanship. sentiment
and general appearance. Added TO this
the ages of the children and the task
was made still harder, Ribbons were
awarded by the committee. blue for
first prize, red for second and white for
third prize. Only one ribbon was award
ed up to The sixth grade. but above that
three ribbons were given.
Those receiving ribbons Will be an
nounCed later.

WOOD TO Remain

vision Overseas
General is Greatly Disappointed Over
Failure to be Selected to Proceed
to France on Active Duty-Per-
shing's VIII Must Be Respected

Washington. May 2S.-Major Gon-
eral Leonard Wood. whose detach-
ment from command Of the National
Army division he trained for service
in France, became known yesterday,
spent half an hour at the White
House today in conference with Pres
ident Wilson. The call was arrany-
ed at the officers request by Secrt-
tary Baker.
No statement on the subject was
made either at the White House or
by General Wood, but the general )
friends said he wanted 10 tell the
President in person that as senior
officer of the regular army he had
only one Gasire-t9 serve to the oest
Of his ability in whatever post he WAS
assigned To fill.
There is no concealment of the fact
that the general is greatly d.sap-
pointed over his failure TO proceed
TO France for service with his III
vision al the front. He also Is dis
turbed over the idea of settling down
10 the routine duties of a depart
mental commander, and Secretai y
Baker today confirmed The report
that ne had asked for a more acti .
assignment than the command OF Vic
western department 10 which ne mas
been ordered. This request has peeu
referred to General March, chief II
staff and il is said to bbe probable
that Gen. Wood will be given his Oh
post at Camp Funston TO train an
other division. 1t was suggested th3t
