Maine made more adequate provi-

in proportion to her resources than
any other state and that aid did not
stop with the armistices but continues
in the case of relatives of those who
made the supreme sacrifice as long
as the necessity exists. In proposing

an army to civilian life accomplished
with SO little friction and confusion.
You are eager as citizens to. play
your fun part in safeguarding the
fruits Of the great victory which you
won on the battle held. II Is hoped
that the visit Of your great COM
nander will inspire you to a full
sense Of your obligations as citizens.
Especially I hope that ell of you will
at once become members Of the Am
