In Favor of Company F.
Memorial Hall, Friday evening
November 7, 1919.

"oioAldi nan, Frloay evening,
November 7, 1919.
10 whom 1t may concern:-
1t is the unanimous desire of the MEM
bers of the Frank D. Hazeltine Post M.
43 of the American Legion that it be
known that this Post stands suuarelv for
the enforcement of the laws of this State
and Country. and in every way will as
sist, both as individuals and as unit
those who are entrusted with the en-
forcement of law and order.
Recognizing the unrest now through
out our Nation, we believe that the
strengthening of our State Militia and
more especially our own Company F. to
full strength is vitality necessary to the
interests of life and property
While the American Legion is not and
cannot be of military nature we believe
it is the expression of the truest kind of
patriotism to enlist in the military service
OF our State and Nation, if done without
imposing too great sacrifice on oneself
and others depending upon him.
We believe it to be the duty of every
one to lend their moral support to all
military branches of the service, more
especially Company F of the Third Maine.
We regret that tuncomplimentary remarks
and criticisms have been made against
this part of the service, and do hereby
denounce as unpatriotic, un-American,
and an aid to those who are attempting
to overthrow the government, those who
may make such remarks.
In consideration of the aforesaid
Be it Resolved: That the Frank D.
Hazeltine Post, No. 43 of the American
Legion, does hereby endorse and support
every measure undertaken to advance
the interests of Company of the Third
Maine.
Be it Resolved: That the Frank D.
Hazeltine Post No 43 of the American
Legion does request every member of the
Post to pass no remark by word or letter
that is detrimental to Company F and to
allow none to be made in their presence
Be it Resolved: That committee be
appointed by the Frank D. Hazeltine Post
No. 43 of the American Legion to act in
conjunction with the citizens committee
recently appointed by Mayor Wescott
Be it Resolved: That copy of these
resolutions be spread upon the records of
the Frank D. Hazeltine Post No. 43 and
printed in the next issue of The Republi-
can Journal

Colonial Theatre
Something New and Varied Always Being
Shown On The Silver Screen of This
Popular Playhouse.

Bert Lytell and Fatty Arbuckle, Thursday.
"Blackie's Redemption" which will
be the feature at the Colonial theatre on
Thursday with Bert Lytell as the star, is
the second of the clever Red Book Maga-
zine stories from the pen of Jack Boyle
to be made into screen plays by Metro.
The first was "Boston Blackie's Little
PAL" in which Mr., Lytell did splendid
work.
"Blackie's Redemption" is the story
of "eentleman crook" who desires to
ego straight" He gives up his lawless
pursuits and is about to marry the girl
he loves when he is arrested and sent to
prison for crime committed by others.
How he makes his daring escape is one
of the many thrilling incidents which
will be revealed in the play, and which
leads to powerful and startling climax.
A heart-appealing feature is the beauti-
tul love of Mary Dawson for Blackie-a
love which withstands every test and
which is the means of his ultimate re-
demption.
And to complete most enjoyable pro-
gram, we have secured Fatty Arbuckle
in his latest act Paramount comedy
"a Desert Hero" and the Gaumont
News.

The pleasures of the Belfast High School
Alumni Association were not for an even
ing only. 1t has brought news of many
former Belfasters who are in foreign
lands today. One of the most interesting
letters received by the writer is the fol-
lowing in regard to Mrs. Frederick
O'Brien, formerly Miss Gertrude, daugh-
ter of the late Hon. and Mrs. Wakefield
G. Frye of this city. A mutually inter
ested party in Boston writes:
1t may interest you to know that Ger
trude's husband, Frederick OBrien, has
just published book which is being very
well received. Its title is ''White Shad-
ows in the South Seas" and it is pub
lshed by the Century Company. 1t is an
account of his SojouTn of nearly year in
the MaruueSar Islands five or six years
ago when he was out of health and want
ed change of scene. | find it an ex-
tremely interesting book and beautifully
written.
Perhaps you might find it in the Belfast
Public Library. If not you will find stories
by him in the August, September and
October Century Magazine and in Asia
for May. June and July, which reappear
in the book in somewhat different form.
They will give an idea of what the book
is like.
1t might interest few of the older
people and still few of the younger ones,
who remember that such people lived
once in Belfast if you should publish
brief item about it in The journal.
MIR. OBrien is temporarily in Manila,
publishing the Manila Times, but will re-
, turn to his home in Glendale, California,
early next year. During the last of the
war he was with Hoover in Washington
as head of the educational work of the
Food Administration. Before that he was
secretary to the Food Administrator OF
California, and also connected with the
California Railroad Commission. He is
native of Baltimore, son OF the late
Judge O'Brien. He and Gertrude have
seen much of the world, civilized and
savage, having been around the world
once and half around it many times. Ger
trude is now much interested in raising
mich goats and goldfish.
The advertisement of Frederlck's book
in the September and October Century's
front page gives sketches OF him.
The writer had the privilege of visiting
Mrs, o. Brien shortly after returning from
her studies abroad, where she had won
recognition as a portrait painter when
her work was selected for public exhi-
bition in Paris. One of the subjects
chosen was the portrait of her mother.
She has assisted her husband with char
acter sketches for his stories and also
with Illustrations for his newspaper work.

CONTINUING THE WAR.

| If the majority party in the United
States senate had determined from The
start to defeat the peace treaty, as now
seems certain, why has there been a
waste of months in discussion? The
Republicans have shouldered a heavy
responsibility. M
What becomes of our boast of MAX
ing the world safe for democracy
when we reject the first opportunity
that presents itself for making, good
that boast? The politicians who are
responsible for the rejection of the
peace treaty will find it difficult to
explain their action to the people at
home or TO the people abroad. They
will fail to make anybody see why we
should refuse to take our chances
with the other signatory powers and
lend a hand in preventing future wars
The world can hardly fail to look
upon us as buffers and grandstand-
ers. Other nations can hardly be- ex-
pected to understand what we at home
know, that rejection of the treaty was
was not based on any motives of sin
cerity. They will look upon us as
we seem to be and not as we are.
Even Senator Capper am Senator

pacific pacifists in the country when
