ont commander of the Maine .branch
of the American Legion. SAID 'oua'
that he would not be candloate ioi
reelection at the annual convention
which will be held in this city the
coming Tuesday, Wednesday ana

first commander and he feels no"
that he should give way to someone

ed to succeed Colonel Greenlaw.
Vice Commander Anthoine enlisted
as a private in the Coast Artillery
Corps in 1915, and at the outbreak Of
hostilities in 1917 he had become
sergeant Together with several 9TH
er members of the National Guard he
was selected to attend the Officers
Training School at Fort Oglethorpe,
Ga, from where he was sent overseas
with his original unit and assigned to
the French Artillery School at Sau-
mur, from which he graduated and
was commissioned a first lieutenant
Upon being commissioned he was as
signed to the 315th Field Artillery and
served continuously through the
Meuse -Argonne offensive. which re-
suited in the signing of the armistice
and the virtual ending of the war.
The unit with which Lieut.. Anthoine
served had the distinction of being
the unit with the longest period of
fighting t. it's credit in the entire ex-
peditionary force. After the signing
of the armistice Lieut.. Anthoine was
transferred to the Rainbow Division
and was on his way to the American
Army of Occupation in Germany when
he was taken sick and sent home.
