rhouuht of Others, Safety First.

For remarkable coOlness and most Commendable sense of humOr under dangerous conditions the navy depart ment has $uSt received all account of a young sailor whose nerve will always be remembered, although his name does not appear in the reports. When the army transport Antilles was sunk the armed guard supplied by the navy, in command of Lieut.. R. D. Risdale, displayed splendid conduct, remaining calmly at their station while the ship was sinking and making no move t" leave their posts until ordered to save themselves. It was when the ship had gone down and the men were Strug, gling in the water that this unknown hero came into being. He was q mem her of gun crew and when rescued was on top of an ammunition box, which had fioated clear of the ship in un upright position. When the young man saw the ship coming close to him, he signaled for them to be careful, stating that the box on which he was
 floating contained live ammunition.

DEMOCRACY IN PUBLIC LIFE.

The Ladies of the Congressional dele
cation from Maine in Washington in con-
junction with the Vermont delegation
last Sunday held very successful recep-
ton at the Congressional Club for the
women war workers from Maine and
Vermont. A considerable number of
women from both States are in Washing
ton at the present time doing different
kinds of war work. In many cases the
women are young and without many
friends or acquaintance and this move
ment, which was instigated by Mrs. John
A. Peters, was for the purpose of BRING
ing the war workers together, getting
them in touch with the Congressional
Delegation and with each other and as
sisting them in any way possible. The
reception, which was held Sunday after
noon was a great success, there be-
ing about one hundred people present
from Maine. Many war workers from
Bangor, Augusta, Gardiner, Bar Harbor,
Castine, Cherrytield and other towns in
the eastern part of the State as well as
many from the Northern and Western
sections, and the whole delegation in Con-
gress from Maine were present Re
freshments were served and Mrs. Whit
side, an operate singer of Washington
sang several selections. The ladies were
received by Mrs. Peters, Mrs. Wallace H.
White, Jr, together with Miss Page,
daughter of Senator Page of Vermont.

Interesting to Hunters.

One interesting report came to Com
missioner of Inland Fisheries and Game
Willis E. Parsons on recent trip through
Washington county which would seem to
allay somewhat at least the fears OF
sportsmen that the partridge is disappear
ing. Several sportsmen, and wardens as
well, stated to the commissioner that
they had seen that splendid game bird in
large numbers that appeared to have win
tered well. And the report also came
from Piscataquis county that they were
plenty in many sections. Mr.. Chaplin,
cashier of the Great Northern Paper
Company, came down Monday night, and
meeting Mr.. Parsons on the train, told
him that cartridges were very plentiful
in the Moosehead region, that he saw 70
on one trip. Just where these birds came
from, with such scarcity last fall, is
something Of a mystery, but it is pre-
sumed that instinct directs them, IN some
way, to care for themselves even in
hard winter Should this prove eood
brooding season the partridges may be
fairly plenty next autumn. The matter
is being watched with considerable inter-
est by SportSmen.

Following is part of letter from Priv.
Alanson Yeaton, 1O1st Eng.
At the Front April 5th.
Dear Mother
We are back at the front once more but
at different sector than we were before.
I don't know as there is going to- be any
choice between the two places. We were
about month and half at the other
place. We had a wonderful five days
hike back to the rest camp under heavy
marching orders. l was on guard all the
time we were there g days. We are
living in large and more comfortable
quarters now and much safer dugout.
There is also Y. M. C. A. within a hum
bred yards, so think we are in much
better place. We are beginning to get
some mighty good eats, in fact they are
better than they were back of the lines
Where we are now is pretty hard
place to get the mail out regularly Our
mail has been delayed greatly lately but
has started coming the last few days.
We were looking forward to a seven
days leave of absence at one of the large
summer resorts, but guess that is all Up
for the present.
am in hopes that after this little party
that is going on is through, that there
wont be enough Boche butchers alive to
do any damage. They are going fast and
it is only matter of time. think you
at home have it harder than we here, for
we know everything is all right at home.
We are doing important work and like
it better being in an American sector
than back there mixed up with French.
The French are older men, and older at
the game, but I'll take my chances with
the yankee Kid" He'll take more
chances and fight harder. That's what
I've found from my experience. Some
of our big guns are barking outside and
shake the table. Love,
LIANT !
