me it is now perfectly clear why there
has been a sad ending of the move
ment which had its initial meetings ir
the Treasury and which had for its
purpose the revival of industrial ac.
tivty through agencies and by methods
that were not contrary to the statutes
nor obnoxious to the elementary prin-
ciples of economics.
"Mr. Peek knows perfectly we'll that

ed to the colors in the world war;
said Mr. Duell last night, "spoke of
Wood as the founder of the great
Plattsburg movement and as the
father of the National Army. Many
asserted it was his foresight in train
ing officers and men before we entered
the war which made victory possible
last November. And it was not uncom-
mon to hear delegate say, I'm for
Wood, because they kept him out of
war;
Pershing Sentiment Slight
This ringing of the charge on the
Democratic Presidential slogan in
1916, He kept us out of war!' took
we'll with the delegates. And, singu-
iarly enough, the following of General
Pershlng was almost neglgible."
Mr.. Duell said that of the 1925 dele
gates to the convention, which is pat
terened after the G. A. R., fair COM
piling showed that $50 would vote the
Republican ticket and 375 the Demo-
cratic, provided President Wilson ran
again.
"'Outside of Wood and Johnson, the
only man with a personal following
at the convention" said Mr.. Duell
was President Wilson. The second
Democratic choice was William G. Nc
Adoo, but many Of the Wilson men de-
clared that if any other Democrat than
Wilson should be the candidate in 1920
they would vote for Wood, for they
all generally took it that Wood would
be the Republican candidate.

HIGH RELIGIOUS
TONE IN PLAY
AT OPERA HOUSE

Not only does THE Rosary" which
will be given today, Tuesday and
Wednesday at the Augusta Opera house
provide a dramatic entertainment OF
the very finest quality. but it has i
high religious tone running throug'. thu
four acts that makes it a real master
piece.
THE Rosary" is a distinctive produc-
ton, one that cannot fail to appeal 70
all classes. 1t is out of the ordinary
too. for it's characters are unusual and
its theme far from the beaten paths OF
the drama. Briefly it tells of the life Of
Bruce Wilton. a young man who has
made his wealth on Wall street and has
everything worldly that money can
provide. At the same time. he SCOTS at
religion. For all that. he loves Fathe.
Brian Kelley because the priest had
heen his tutor at college. Not only tina.
/ ut realizing The good work that Fathe-
Kelley does. he decides to build him a
church so that it can be continued
Misfortune comes to him and he Is
made almost pennilexs. It Is then tina,
he sees the light and believes In the
church.
Such an outline as this cannot begin
to tell of some of the intense dramatic
situations that are developed in the
course Of the production. Miss Ann
Kingsley has some of the most remark
able work she has yet done as a men,
Der Of the Luttringer Stock Co. She Is
called upon to play the roles of twin
sisters. sisters who are entirely different
in their makeup. One of them is the
wife Of Wilton; the other is the aband-

Public Utilities

A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the matter of the accident which or
Cured on the Grand Trunk Railway
near New Gloucester Oct. II last
which resulted in the death Of Ne
miah Allen, aged Ga years, a section
man on the Grand Trunk Railway
was struck by the Grand Trunk ex-
ira freight No. 449, about one AMI
one-half miles east of New Glouces-
ter. and received injuries from
which he died a few minutes later.
Extra freight No. 44s, running
light with engine and caboose, let
Deering yard about 645 A. NJ, for
Island Pond, Vermont. The steam
had been shut off and the train was
drifting at the rate Of about % miles
per hour going down the grade ami
around the long curve just east Of
Mile Post No. 81 or one and one-half
miles east of New Gloucester. Mr.
Allen was going along on his veloci-
pede a head of this train, but evi
IDENTIFY he neither saw nor heard the
train. The whistle did not blow be-
fore coming to this curve, the wing
blowing against Mr.. Allen, and the
train drifting alongwith steam shut
off made very little noise. The I'M
fortunate victim of this accident was
thus taken entirely by surprise and
with no opportunity to guard himself
from the danger.
The engineer could not see the
velocipede on the track ahead because
on account of the curve, his vision
was obstructed by the boiler of his
engine. The first intimation that the
engineer had of any trouble was
when he saw a piece of wood come
up over the running-board. He then
applied his brakes. but the train
went along 10 to Is minutes car
lengths before stopping. The engi-
neer saw the mans body come out on
his side of the engine, and re backed
his train as quickly as possible and
found the injured man lying about
five or six feet from. the rail. They
picked Mr.. Allen up and carried him
in the caboose to Danville junction,
where they attempted to get medic II
assistance. but he died in a few min
utes and before any doctor could be
reached.
1T would seem that some provision
ought to be made for more effective
ly warning the section men who are
lawfully upon the railroad track in
the discharge of their duty

ADJUSTMENTS
BUSINESS RAN
UP AGAINST A
REAL HUMAN GIRL

Talk up business! Well, William
Waters. the male star in His Oficial
Ftancee.'' was SO full Of business that
even his meals were mapped out before
hand and he even made business prop
osition of having a brhe-to-be. Bat
Waters was right up against a new
proposition when he made a money bar
gain with his stenographer to be his af-
nanced bride for Appearances sake.
This was where Vivian Martin came
in! She proved truly. human sort Of
a girl and whole lot of things bega 4
to happen. Vivian Martin is really the
big show in His Official Fiancee. =
This is a Paramount-Artcraft picture
produced by the Lasky-Famous Players
Cooperation. and delicious as have been
the plays in which Miss Martin has ap-
peared before, none of the others ca i
quite come up to this one which will be
the big feature at the Colonial theatre
today and tomorrow. But two showings
of the picture will be given each dav
because Of the length of the 14-reel pro-
gram.
The situations in His Ofhcial
Fiancee" are rich in fun-making posi-
bifities and movie fans may rest as.
sured that everything that can be got
, ten out Of the play is secured. Miss
Martin has the role of a stenographe-
employed in the London office of Will.

her 1t Is necessary for business reasons
for him to pose during the next few

He offers her the post of "officia.

Pressed for funds. she consents. Many
complications ensue, including the COM
ing on the scene of a former lover.
Waters embarrassing gay dog uncle,
and the arrival Of charming French
girl between whom and Waters an un-
Outstanding evidently exists.
The two officially engaged persons faI
in love. and it all comes out happily.
The Colonial also has another big
feature on the program. 1t is "The
Echo of Youth" from the Graphic Film
corporation. drama Of the highest
type in which beautiful Leah Baird is
featured supported by a case that in.
cludes Charles Richman, Pearl Shep-
rard and other notables.
1.-The Echo Of Youth" may we'll be de-
scribed as the "somewhat-different'
play. Kiss Baird appears as a cabaret
singer who has social ambitions. Years
before lin the story she had trans.
crossed the law and when a young law
yer succeeded in freeing her. he be-
came so enamored of her beauty that he
asked her in marriage. She consented.
but on the day before the wedding, a
