NO SLACKERS
Among the Quakers In
the War Work
Their Services in Europe Has
Brought Praise From England.
France and United States, and
They Are Planning Still Greater
Deeds

Deeds
Vassalboro, Me, May 22.-Are the
Quakers Slackers? Not much.
Though the government has granted
them exemption from combattant
service because of their religious
scruples on war, there has been no
inclination on their part to take ad-
vantage and do nothing. They have
been rendering a service in stricken
Europe that has called forth from
both England, France and the United
States the highest praise. Without
Compulsion they have organized
among their members and sustained
at their own expense mine sweeping
units, ambulance corps, hospitals,
food depots, house building and aSrl-
cultural units, helping every way
within their power the relief of suf-
ferinG.
SO earnest and successful were the
, efforts Of the Friends or Quakers in
France that the French government
has asked them to take complete
charge of one branch of the recon
structiop work. The Red Cross has
also orga nized a special bureau for
the Quakcrs, SO that now the Friends
relief work is definite part OF the
Red Cross organization under the De-
partment of Civil Affairs. To meet
the demands upon them. the Friends
have organized throughout the coun-
try and every community even IN the
most secluded sections are working
tooth and nail in the great task of
relief.
Just what is being done in France
by the Quakers is to be told in an
illustrated lecture at East Nassairoro
Saturday evening by J. Henry !. at
tereood OF Philadelphia. Henry Scat
tergood is commissioner OF the
Friends Relief work and also mem
her of the National American Red
Cross Commission. He has superin-
tended first hand the work in France
and can speak with authority. The
occasion is to he the wind-up for the
Red Cross week for Nassalboro.

Paris Churches and
Hospitals Are Hit
By Strange Fatality. They Seem
TO Suffer in Nearly Eocry
Bom6ardn1cnt.

PARIS. August 10.-By a strange
fatality the churches and hospitals OF
Paris seem TO suffer in nearly every
bombardmcnt by air or long-ranEe
gun. In the vast city of Paris the
churches are Small targets and we'll
scattered ones at that. But fate seems
TO direct the German shells and bombs
invariably toward them. In the event
church Is missed the bomb or shell
seldom fails to strike a hospital.
by a still stranger coincidence two
Oh the most famous churches In Paris,
both known the world over. have each
had an exterior statue of st. Peter de-
capitated. On the day n great number
OF American, Polish. French Belgian
and Canadian troops assembled in one
OF these two churches a shell dropped
in between the pillars and splinters
nying upward clcanly decapitated a
statue of St Peter. The other damage
TO the church was insignificant.
On the same day and almost at the
Same hour the bags OF sand protecting
a statue OF st. Peter on the west facade
or Notre Dame gave way breaking off
the head. The Superstitious ones arc
poncering over the curious circum-
stance.
The peasants in st. Denis a suburb
OF Paris. recall that ST. Denis. the
patron saint of Paris. was beheadcd on
Montmartre (Mons Martyrum) back In
the NTH century. They believe that
the decaPitation OF the statues on the
Two most historic churches in Paris is
a warning from st. Denis to the Paris
ians that the city will be threatened.

May Women Salute

Question Raised Regarding
Quasi-MiHtary Organizations

LONDON, August 1o.-whether the
WAGES" "Wrens" and "Penguins,"
end other women soldiers in England
should salute officers or merely smile
and nod recognition to the office, Ia
question facing heads of Great Brit
ans various women army branches.
The women authorities hold that a
woman officer Official is the term .hey
prefer cannot receive a salute because
she does not hold the Kings commits
sion. but others, particularly men. hold
that without salute there can be no
real discipline"
The "Waacs" (womens Army Aux
Hilary Corpse salute their officers in
camps and hostels. and stand at atten-
ton when on duty. but in public dis
cipline is relaxed.
The "Wrens" (Women's Royal Naval
Serrice) have no salute. said Mrs
Katherine Furft, their director. nor do
their officials receive the salute of sea
men.
Il think 1t sufficient that the girls
merely nod and smile. This despite the
fact that considerable fun is made Of
the girls smiling to strange officials
l. the girls don't want to recognize OFF,
Gals We can't make them"
i In France among the O. NJ A. A. c.
the salute Is customary between women
and officials. in public as we'll as in
offices and camps.
