To Make Camp Comfortable.

For insuring comfortable canton-
ments for the troops many excellent
measures have been taken. Special at
tenton has been paid to assuring a
proper drainage of rain and waste
water. keeping the drains and bitches
far enough away from the barracks
and buildi ings occupied by the men;
making or bettering paths leading to
the lodgings of the men and TO the
stables; constructing camp beds and
providing them with straw mattresses.
building recreation and meeting rooms,
heating at least one room for each
unit of men; bettering the installations
of shower baths. providing them with
doors: installing boxes for the disi;i-
fecting of clothes: covering over the
laundry places and the drying rooms:
assuring suitable lighting systems for
eacn locality: assuring the conserva-
tion of materials and buildings already
existing.
Many important and well provided
camps for the training of young SOL
dierS and for the use of troops at rest
hava been constructed behind the
front. These camps are solidly con-
structed and suitably located. and the
soldiers find there all that is necessary
to make conditions satisfactory.
In the numerous camps nearer tbs
front the barracks are generally good
and the water installations suitable to
all needs.
In the environments shower baths eX-
list in comfortable numbers. Fifty new
sections of shower baths and disinfec-
tion plants were constructed in the
summer of 1917 and sent into the Army
zone. These bathing installations are
transportable, stopping at each canton.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES, Decem-

hard and uncomfortable. but everything
suggested by careful study and past ex-
perience and possible by painstaking labor
has been done by the French high COM
mand to better the i5t of the heroic SOL
diers who are holding the Germans in
check throughout these cold nights and
days. The front-line trenches are TO a
great extent provided with wooden or hard
earthen floors. and there are many clever
devices to keep them we'll drained. Roll
ing field kitchens bring the food smoking
hot almost up TO the front-lne positions,
and every squad of soldiers has a sawdust
or charcoal stove or alcohol lamp for re-
heating food and drink.
Every fighter in the war zone was given
at the onset of winter the following extra
pieces of clothing: A wooden sweater vest,
a sheepskin overcoat. a comforter. a flan-
mel shirt, second blanket. q WOODEN scarf,
one pair of heavy gloves. two pairs OF
eXtra-weight socks, pair of wooden

Decision Comes Down in Waldo
County Case.
Law Court Issues Rescript in Peoples Trust
Co. vs.. Mt. Waldo Granite Works,

AUGUSTA, Dec. 10 A rescript was
handed down by the law court Friday
in the Waldo county case of the Peoples
Trust Company versus the Mount Waldo
Granite Works, ct ais, sustaining a bill in
equity brought by the plaintiff
The rescript, which was drawn by
Associate Justice Albert M. Spear of
Gardiner, is as follows:
This is bill in equity, brought for the
purpose of foreclosing mortgage alleged
to have been given by the Mount Waldo
Granite Works to the Peoples Trust Com.
pany, banking corporation of New
York.
The bill alleges the issuance by the
Mount Waldo Granite works of $3.50, 900
of it's negotiable bonds, secured by a
mortgage upon its plant and property
At the time the suit was brought the
bonds were held by number of banks
in Maine as collateral security for the
notes of the Mount Waldo Granite Works.
The plaintiff claims two defaults in the
conditions of the mortgage given to Sc
cure the bonds.
The defendants raise three defenses
which are entitled to consideration mahy
minor questions having been raised to
which it is not necessary to allude.
1, That there is not sufficient proof
that the mortgage and bonds were duly
authorized by the Granite Works. All
the records of the corporation were de-
stoyed by fire; but in the affidavit of AL
bert Pierce, clerk and treasurer of the
corporation, used by agreement as his
testimony, he distinctly states that every
necessary vote was passed by the corpo-
Id aIC hoy ho
fore us copy of the trust deed which
cites that the maker, the Granite Works,
passed the necessary votes.
HELD: That these facts constitute
sufficient evidence of authority.
2. That the mortgage cannot be fore
closed by the plaintiff because the bonds
are issued as collateral. security for the
Granite Works notes.
HELD: That party holding bonds as
collateral for the security of his debt is,
to the extent of his DEBT, at least, subro-
gated to such an interest in the property
mortgaged to secure the bonds as will
enable him to require the trustee, when
authorized by the mortgage. to foreclose
the mortgage for payment of his debt
3. The trust deed purports to convey
personal property as we'll as real property,
and was not recorded in the town of
Frankfort where the personal property
was situated.
HELD: If there is personal property
described in the trust deed, not forming
a part of the realty, that such personal
property cannot be foreclosed under the
mortgage, and that what articles are so
attached to the realty as to become real
estate, and what so separated as to retain
their character as personal property, must
be ascertained.
Therefore, the bill and supplemental
bill are sustained with costs, and the
case remanded to the equity court for
further action, in accordance with this
opinion.
So ordered.

COL. E. M. HOUSE.

We regard Col. House as being very
able man. We admit that he has never
said anything to lead the public to agree
with us, but still we think he is entitled
to a page in "Who's Who" No man
can do every thing well and he who can
do one thing we'll under all circumstances
and on all occasions is not only an able
but wonderful man. AS near as we
can place the colonel in proper rank
among the eminent, we should say he is
the administration photograph, and his
function is to listen and record what he
hears and to divulge nothing except into
the Presidents left ear In this sphere
of usefulness he is not only eminent but
pre-eminent.

THE NEW TREASURER OF STATE.

The appointment of Mr., Carter Glass
of Virginia was a fitting one. We say
fitting because Mr.. Glass has been in
Congress about Is years and, for several
of these years has been member of the
banking and currency committee and,
when appointed Secretary of the Treas
ury, he was chairman of that committee.
He has thus had an opportunity to learn
much of the financial affairs of the Unit
cd States. While the country has not
heard much about him, his record Is
good. That the appointee should come
from the South was to be expected, but
it is satisfaction to know that he has
some knowledge of the duties which he
will be expected to perform beyond that
gained by purchasing supplies for small
family.
