PARIS, June 5.-The small powers
have won a victory in their OPPOSE

of the new states created from the
former Austro-Hungarian empire, as

ARMISTICE DAY

The weather Of Tuesday was very
disappointing to citizens in Water
vile. as they were deprived of many
of the things that they had antici-
pated for on the day in the celebra-
ton of Armistice day. The aviator
did not make any flights and Of
course this was big disappointment.
for he was to have been flying over
the campus during the day and do
ing various stunts. However. the
plans of the George y. BourQue lost
were not interrupted and the men,
bers certainly deserve great cradit
for their splendid entertainment, re-
ception and the whole affair given at
the new Elks' hall was a most en-
joyable one.
In the afternoon: beginning at $50.
the reception opened and it was very
informal. therefore every one felt ip
place and all joined in having a good
time. The program carried out -.ias
especially good. and the American
Legion orchestra Of eight pieces did
itself credit, for its selections We're
warmly applauded again and again.
Mrs. Charles Pooler presided at the
piano. Norman Haskell, who is a
well-known singer in the city, rem
dered some selections which were
very good. and the G. String quart
ct. consisting of four local boys, sang
several pieces. This quartet has ap-
peared before many audiences in the
city during the past few months and
has established an excellent reputa-
ton.
Neil Leonard. the Colby student.
who is famous for his witty readings.
was part Of the program, and his
hearers were much pleased with his
selections. Max Cymbolek, who was
formerly violinist at the City Opera
house, rendered two violin solos
which were very delightful. Rand
son Pratt. a college student, played
cello solo. with Miss Velma Boivin
as pianist.
During the afternoon some OF the
younger people enjoyed the dansant
at the hall. with music furnished by
WEIGHS Novelty orchestra, and there
an order Of eight dances were en-
joyed. The D. A. r. served refresh
ments Of punch and fancy cookies.
and also acted as patronesses. AS a
whole the affair was most successful
and much praise was given the COM
mittee from ahe Post, who had charge
Of the entertainment.
In the evening beginning at s.45
the military ball opened with the
grand march WEIGHS orchestra fur
nished music. The hall was crowded
and the ball was considered one of
the most pleasant ones this season.
A feature of the evening was the
confetti waltz. At IL o'clock sharp
taps were sounded and the last waltz
ended
