To Mark the American
BattlefeldS in France

Washington, June 6-The secretary
of war has directed board of seven
officers to draw up detailed plans for
marking all the battlefields of France,
Belgium and Italy where American
troops fought during the World War.
The same board will carry the pro-
ject through, after details have been
worked out and approved by the Sec
rotary.
This action of Secretary Weeks
comes in response to hundreds of re-
quests from posts of The American
Legion all over the country. 1t is
probable that markers carrying
bronze tablets explaining the battle
actions of the various organizations
will be placed on the battlefields, as
recommended by many American Le-
gion posts.

STATE OF MAINE
Proclamation by Percival p. Baxter
Governor of Maine
FOREST FIRE EMERGENCY

The present forest fire situation in
Maine, both within and without the
Forestry District, is critical. AS the
result of a prolonged drought the
woods are so dry that fires start and
spread with dangerous rapidity. Dur
ing the month of May there were over
$50 fires-twothirds as many as In
the year 1920, itself an unusually bad
year These fires were due &c care
lessness. and many assumed alarming
proportions. 1t required 1900 men to
bring these fires under control. at an
expense which already equals that of
the entire year of 1920. Conditions
are such that a conf1agration is likely
to occur which will sweep large por--
ton of the State, causing n loss of
life and property impossible to esti-
mate.
Now, therefore. I. Percival P. Bax-
ter. Governor Of Maine. do hereby pro-
claim that the present forest fire sit
uation is an emergency that should
be brought to the attention of every
citizen. l urge all persons. and par
ticularly all campers, fishermen and
woodsmen, to use the utmost precau-
tons. Every individual going into the
Maine woods should do all in his pow
