A Pathetic Case

Here is case. said Sec. James F..
Bagley Of the State Board of Chari-
ties and Corrections. which also con-
stitutes the State Board of Mothers
Aid. that we'll illustrates the ups and
downs of life and is very pathetic. A
year ago last March a woman residing
in one of our small Maine towns was
appointed to the local Mothers Aid
Board. She did not have much op-
portunity to perform the duties Of
that office. because the town had no
applications under that law.
But, recently the woman herself
has become an applicant. the first
from her town. The epidemic Of in
f1uenza last fall took away her hus-
band and with other circumstances
she has found it necessary to avail
herself, of the benefits of the Mothers
Aid. in order to properly care for her
children. The illustration seems per-
feet, does it not?"

Coast Artillery companies of Maine.

Coast Artillery companies of Maine.
He said:
Before another year Maine will
have two regiments of infantry and
six companies of Coast Artillery.
The Coast Artillery will be organized
as soon as the appropriation bill now
before Congress is passed. The COM
panies will be trained in addition to
the Coast Artillery work, as heavy
field artillery. They will probably be
assigned to the Maine coast section,
but being mobile. there will be little
trouble in securing recruits, as it is
one Of the most popular arms of the
service.
The suggestion has been made
that the six companies be placed in
Eastport, Calais. Ellsworth, Rock
land. Bath. Portland. Sanford. West
brook or kennebunk: but that is a
matter that will be decided later"
Another matter mentioned by Gen.
Presson was the armory plans. He
said:
Many cities and towns are now
taking advantage of the benefits
given under the so-called Gannett
| armory bill, which provides for State
assistance in the erection of such
. buildings. Several cities have al
ready written the Armory Commits
sion. although the law will not take
effect until July 1 next. The move
mcnt is a wise one. for the feeling is
practically unanimous throughout
the states to re organize the National
Guard on larger and better basis.
1t is also the feeling at Washington
and is so reported from the general
staff 1t is therefore wise, as 1 said,
for Maine to begin taking the best Of
| care and providing the best of
everything for her citizen soldiery."

Next Meeting and Council 10 M Wednesday, May q

Adjutant General George Mel.
Presson and Colonel Francis H.
Farnum, L. S. A. have returned
from trip TO Washington very much
pleased with the prospects for the
National Guard of Maine. They had
a conference on Monday with the
chief of the Military Bureau and are
free to state that within a few
months the Maine Guard Will be On
. better footing than overland as is
well known, Maine has had a most
enviable record for her Guardsmen,
evidenced in the Spanish War, on
the Mexican border and in the pres
ent World War.
Arrangements are now under way
for school for commissioned and
commissioned officers and cooks
TO be held the latter part of June at
Camp keyes, with a detail Of regular
army sergeant instructors to assist.

and about 400 will attend.
Colonel Farnum has been fortunate
enough to secure 1.-TWO sergeant in

one in Portland, who will devote
their entire time to instruction of
the various companies. They are eX
perienced men. having graduated
from the government school and
Gen. Presson says that Maine should
feel TO be congratulated in securing
them, as they will be Il great as
sistance in the instruction of the
regiment.
General Prcsson said Thursday
that it is the intention now to begin
in u few months the reorganizatiOn
Of the old I'd Maine. which now as
the 103d Infantry of Uncle Sans
Mans Army has world wide
reputation. 1t seems to be the great
desire of both the officers and men,
but with that, all wish to delay it d
short while. that they may have a
good rest and enjoy the freedom of
again being civilians, after their
somewhat strenuous experiences of
the past two years.
Whatever may be the feeling Of the
United States army and National
Guard officers as TO universal train
ing, all admit that the grand record
made by the National. Guardsmen
who went to France makes an i'm
perative demand that this great Or
ganization must be put on it's former

have achieved in succoring stricken Poland
during the last three years may best be shown
by quoting Lewinski- -Corwin. "Organized into
leagues, they cared for the needs Of men in the
fields as we'll as for their families at home.
They maintained shelters, public kitchens,
homes for orphans milk stations, public
laundries, and employment agencies. They
worked as nurses in hospitals and cared for
the INDECENT sick in their homes. They organ
lied play grounds and summer colonies for
children, courses for illiterates and vacation
schools for teachers. They helped in spread
ing the gospel Of independence among the
people by spoken word and written. They edit
ed newspapers and published pamphlets and
books. They assisted the quartermaster Of the
army and the civic commissioners of the ma
tional supreme committee in studying the eco
nomic conditions Of the country and supplying
assistance where it was most needed. They
trained teachers for the Polish elementary
schools which were organized as soon as the
Russians retired. About twenty such pedago-
gical colleges were opened in 1915 and the nun
bers Of students who applied surpassed all
expectations Of the organizers. Where forty
were expected, two hundred enrolled. The edu-
cation Of youth was made matter Of partic-
ular concern
With such a record, it is safe to assert
that Poland future as republic will be a
fair one. For, once nation masters the truth
that to uplift it's people, it must first educate
the mothers Of its men, and that conditions
must be made safe for them to mingle freely
in all professions and callings, with the same
wage scale, moral code, and same opportuni-
ties for advancement Of the sexes, there is no
height to which it might not aspire and no ho-
nor which it may not achieve.
The principle which raised the teachings
Of Christ above those Of Tao, Buddha, and the
others, and which was responsible for the re-
generation Of the world, was the elevataion Of
woman from the age old oriental position Of
lowliness and scornful liberation to one Of
love- veneration, and trust.
More to follow in our next
