Souvenirs From France

Miss Mildred Ames OF 70 Nj. Pleas
Heselton's window a few days last
week, some souvenirs from France
These were sent by Corp. Walter P
Thornhill of this town. who enlisted
in Co. f going to Augusta, where he
was put into Co. II of Waterville
These souvenirs we're either taken
from the trenches, captured from the
Germans. or picked up on the battle
field. Among the articles OF interest
are. A letter written on German
paper after trench was taken the
accompanying envelope being lined
with a thin eoiored tissue paper A
L. S. parachute which had been pick
ed up after big battle, having been
used to send out the flares; an Aus
TRAN war cross, also Austrian money,
French money and Austrian, German
and French post cards. A paper
printed in France for the A. Z. F
called the Stars and Stripes in

ed orders near the big wheat fields,
where so many of our boys fell.
There are also sofa pillows, handker-
chief case. another handkerchief with
flags of all the different nations for
border and in the center Wilson's
picture with pictures of other great
men of the day and on it the follow
ing was written in French Souvenir
OF the great war of 1914 to 1919.
A letter sent from France by French
lady Costing fifteen cents postage)
from which the following Is copied: -
Il am a very old mother have a
son rs years old, and he has been in
the war six years | know the boys
are we'll received and the mothers OF
France would be happy if their boys
were as we'll received over there"
Private Mccarthy also calls on this
lady with other comrades. She
calls our boys "the big fellows. They
are also known as the dough boys In
a very recent letter received by Miss
Ames from Mr. Thornhill he speaks
of the drive OF September 18th saying
that Co. H of Waterville took some
thing like five hundred prisoners.
Corp. Thornhill with two others took
thirty-five from one dugout and drove
them back in great shape.

Food Administration Notes
PRICES

Definite measures to limit retail
prices have been announced by the
Food Administration. Fair price
lists" are to be published in order to
protect consumers from unreasonable
price advances. J. F.. Young of Au-
gusta has been appointed Director of
| Price Publication in this state by Fed
eral Food Administrator. Leon S.
Merrill A complete organization
over the state is to be perfected, the
public informed through newspapers
and otherwise as to the range of
will be asked to report to their Food
Administrator any stores charging
more than the announced prices. 1t
Is intended that this movement shall
be effective in preventing undue
charges Meanwhile grasping and
dishonest merchants should be set
ting their houses-their stores and
prices-in order.
CONTINUED NECESSITY OF SAY
ING FOOD
It must be impressed upon people
generally that the necessity of say
Ing food is still with us Our sol
diers are not yet at home; people of
the Allies must be fed; more starving
people can be reached after the war
ceases and 1t Is our duty to prevent
all the suffering possible. One hun
dred and eighty million persons in
Europe are facing starvation and they
are not Germans or Austrians either.
and In planning to help these unfor
Inmates the United States Food Ad-
ministration is giving the people of
this country a chance to be the
worlds benefactors and to win the
world over to a larger faith In the
American people.
1t Is stated that 1t will take our
armies about a year to clean up the
matter of barbed wire alone This
seems. first, like an exaggeration.
but when we consider for a moment
the barbed wire entanglements, not
only miles and miles in extent, but to
almost as great a depth, and then that
1t is not now all on the surface of the
earth to be carefully cut and removed
but that 1t has been buried under
piles Of earth and distributed through
the same in all manner Of tangled
conditions, we begin to realize what
must be done to restore those por-
tlons of France and Belgium where
the war has surged for some four
years So they tell US that it will be
two years before all our army can
be returned, for the stricken regions
must be restored and our boys must
stay there and compel the Germans
to do it,

tSIned something put 1t In my car.
After q while I opened the barrel be

took out the whiskey and threw the
barrel away, bringing the Whiskey on

explanation OF the possession OF much
more Whiskey than the Law allows
might be true Whether it was or
not was question which in this case
rested on more shoulders than one.

U. P. NOT AT FAULT

The statement of Rear Admiral
Wilson, commanding the Ameri-
can fleet in French waters, COM
pletely exonerates the United
Press from the responsibility for
the premature announcement OF
the signing Of an armistice by
Germany In taking the blame
upon himself the admiral has
shown that he is more consider
able of a man. In all such cases
it is customary to make the news
gathering agency the goat. .
Admiral Wilson has publicly
declared that he gave out the an
nouncement upon what he be-
lieved to be official and authentic
information which he had receiv-
ed. Since the news came from
high official source, what reason
was there for the representatives
of the United Press to doubt it or
withhold tn
Rival news agencice, Of course,
will romp on the United Press for
years for putting out a fake story
but they win not succeed in con
vincing the far-minded portion of
the public that any censurc is
due the United Press for acting
as it did under the circumstances.
1t was an awful blunder but, in
the face of Admiral Wilson S
statement, the news agency can
not justly be charged with any
improper handling of the matter

PAY YOUR DEBT

We are not really giving any
thing but, quite the contrary, are
merely paying what we owe when
we contribute to the fund that IS
to be raised for maintaining the
various war work agencies, ac-
cording to the view expressed by
E. w. Marland, state chairman
of the United War Work cam
paign.
Suppose you think il over SER
iously and see if you don t take
the same view of it. Mr. Mar
land sums up the whole matter
as follows
Lets quit talking about Civ
ing to the United War Work
campaign. Let's talk about pay
ing.
"Lct's quit worrying about
what our share is. Our share is
every dollar we have earned
above bare living expenses dur
ing the war
"The boys over there have CIV
en- every moment of their time,
have given their business oppor-
tunities, and have offered their
lives to win for us the coming
year of peace and prosperity.
When they return they will have
no accumulated wealth to show
for the months they have served
us.
Every business man, every
merchant, every farmer, every
laborer in this country should
pay his debt by giving to the
United War Work campaign ev-
cry dollar he has saved since the
war began.
"The fund raised by the United
War Work campaign will be used
in providing comforts and con
veniences for our boys during
their long period of enforced
idleness in the camps; providing
for them educational opportuni-
ties and surrounding them with
protection against sickness and
disease.
"Thc Influenza epidemic has
killed off more men in our camps
than General Pershing has lost in
France.
"'The money contributed will
bring your boy back to you bet
ter, healthier man and may be the
means of saving his life. "
Senator Robert L. Owen has
given the United War Work cam
paign his endorsement in a letter
to the committee in charge as fol
lows:
" America has been moved to its
foundations by gigantic war for
the establishment of liberty, jus
tlce, humanity and peace on
earth.

mand for immediate charity, or
