Dear Aunt Nadge:
wonder If the NJ. BIS would care TO read
a page from my diary Here it IS;
Aug. 2-To-day visited Lamoine, after
an absence Of more than a quarter Of a cen
tury. Called on a number of old friends, aud
spent delightful hours talking over old
times. Recalled the pleasant years when
had the honor OF being master Of Lamoine
grange. which at one time had 100 brothers
and l0s sisters as members.
Having recently come from California,
although I spent many happy months there,
l could not help thinking;
20, California, with your perpetual sun
shine, your golden sunsets. yeIlower than
your oranges, your oranges yellower than
your peoples and your peoples yellower than
your gold. adore your gorgeousness, but !
love my own dear State of Maine and her
people with their hearts of gold"
Just before leaving for the East, attended
a meeting of the New England society and
gave toast as follows:
Here's a toast to old New England,
From her sons and daughters true;
Tho, we love you, California,
We love New England, too.
The motherland that bore as
Upon her rugged breast,
Who tenderly watched DER US
And iulled our fears to rest.
Your teachings well equipped us
In life to bear cur part,
And meet our many trials
With a sturdy. hopeful heart.
Your granite hills unchanging,
Your mountains capped with snow,
Your hills and fertile Valleys,
Where mighty rivers iow;
Your mingled cloud and sunshine.
YouT stern and rock bound shore,
Your everchangiug seasons,
And the loud Atlantic's roar.
So here's to you, New England,
From Pseifc's waters blne,
We love you, California,
But we love New England, too.
close with kindest greetings 10 all my
old friends. HELEN.

Opponents Of League Hopeful
Senate Will Give Warning
Treaty Cannot Be Ratified
in Present Form.

Washington, June l1.-After a
period of comparative quiet. the
senate fight over the league of ma
tions appears certain to be resumed
Thursday or Friday with fury that
may eclipse all previous struggles
growing out of the controversy.
1t is around the resolution of Sem
ator Knox, republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, proposing to put the senate
definitely on record regarding the
revised covenant of the league, that
the next chapter of the fight is to be
written.
Supporters of the resolution hope
to gather enough strength to give
warning to the Paris conference that
the treaty cannot be ratified here in
its present form, an eventuality
which the treaty supporters exect
to fight to a finish.
The foreign relations committee
decided to take up the resolution
Thursday morning, with the pros
pect that it will be brought into the
senate as soon as it meets at noon.
1t is considered likely the fight
will begin when the resolution is
called up for passage Friday. Even
its friends do not expect roll call
that day and some senators are pre-
dieting there will be none for many
days to come.
Senator Knox will make every eff
fort to bring it to vote before the
treaty is signed at Paris and in this
he apparently will have the backing
of Republican Leader Lodge.

Partition Of Turkey
Already Accomplished

Paris, June 11.-Turkey's fate is
still clouded in mystery. Although
Turkish delegation is. expected to
arrive in Paris Thursday, it seems
impossible to learn from any men,
bers of the>allied delegations exactly
what plans, if any, have been out
lined for dealing with Turkey.
1t has been made clear by the
entente delegations that the Turks
are coming to Paris on their own
suggestion. They come as con-
sultants. or expert advisers, not as
plenipoteniaries.
France and Great Britain are now
in control in Constantinople.
Turkey in Asia is thoroughly dom
mated by Greek, Italian and British
troops and the feeling is growing in
Paris that the partition of Turkey
is an accomplished fact.
