PATRIOTIC SERVICE
in ALBION CHURCH

Albion, Me. April 9.-Rarely. if ever
has an audience in Albion been so
charged with the spirit OF patriotism
and service as ii was sunday evening
when a mass meeting was held in the
Christian church under the auspices o:
the Society Of Christian Endeayor.
The first to speak was Lieut.. Timothy
O'Donneii of the lo2d Regiment. He
told in a graphic way OF his training in
when they were about 10 be transpor,e
to the place Of embarkatioh how the
curtains on the train were all pulled
down and that a guard walked up and
down the aisle to see that a curtain
was not raised.
Carefully avoiding The name Of the
place CT emb2rkation ne simply said:
We left an Atlantic port and after be-
ing on the sea for II days landed at an
English port ana then were taken TO a
rest camp in England, where we re-
manned a short time and then were TAX

After a short time in France he with

was here that he got his real taste OF
war when the shells began 10 fall in

his feeling when under fire when there

construction OF the trenches and told
how food was brought 10 those defend
ing these places. He also told Of the
distance across mo Mans Land" At
the particular place where he was sta
toned The distance here was about
l5o yards.
Mr. O'Dohnell had with him the diff
ferent types Of the gas masks as worn
by the soldiers Of the different coun-
tries. He also exhibited different types
of grenades and helmets. His graphic
description Of his experiences were in
teresting and helpful to all.
Hon, Carl c. Jones OF Waterv!lle was
the next speaker and all were pleaseo
and stirred by his address concerning
how war came 10 America and OF tn.
Germany Of the pas, and Germany Of
the present. In his own clear and force
able way Mr.. Jones made it plain that
war was inevitable with the Central
Powers and that our country STAYED out
OF the conflict as long as possible ami
yet maintain her honor among the ma
tons of the earth,
An interesting part Of the progra m
was the presentation of the war service
emoiems to two of the Boy Scouts who
earned them during the last Liberty
Loan campaign. The Scout master in
presenting the embiems made subs,an-
italy the following remarks:
Patriotic Citizens OF Albion: This oc-
casion that has called us together IL fu,,
or meaning. Never have freemsn me,
with reader will.
After listening TO these speakers our
hearts are filled as never before To
listen TO one who has stood in the laws
OF death like the immortal six hun
dred IS certainly inspiring. We are
not inspired with blood thirsty motives
put with love Of country and Of the
world that says to the torturers os
women and children, Thou shalt no,
