In the days when Drummond had

life-such ss going over the top. and
carrying out raids-had not proved
sufficient for his appetite. He had
specialized In peculiar stunts Of his
own: stunts over which he was sin-
gulariy reucent; stunts over which
his men formed their own conclusions,
and worshiped him accordingly.
But Drummond was no fool, and he
had realized the vital importance Of

Senate Special
Session Ends with
Many Posts Unnamed

Washington, Mar. 15-The special
session of the Senate which convened
March to confirm important APP
pointments of the new administra-
ton, adjourned sine die today with
out receiving from the White House
any nominations for diplomatic
posts or for membership on the
shipping board.
The delay in shipping board Sc
lections, which generally had been
expected to be ready for Senate con-
slderation today was attributed to a
technicality of the Merchant Marine
act requiring that all seven members
OF the new board must be named
before any Of them could assume his
duties. President Harding is under
stood to have been prepared to
nominate two or three men for board
membership but was not ready to
send in the whole list.
Under the circumstances the
President decided not to hold the
Senate in session and renewed his
request to Admiral Benson, now act
ing as board chairman under the
old law, to continue in that capacity.
1t was indicated that some weeks
might elapse before the entire new
membership could be chosen and
that in the meantime the body would
junction under the same tenure as
ID the Wilson administration.

MISS PAY CHECKS
FOR FIRST TIME

Orono, Me-, Mapch lo.-Ihe treas
urer of University of Maine failed to-
day to issue salary checks due the
teaching faculty an the 18th of each
month, for the first time in the his
tory of the institution extending back
more than half a century.
This was due to the failure of State
officials to advance money to the uni
versity on the basis of the continuation
of the biennial appropriation of 1919
as always has been done heretofore in
years that the Legislature has met.
Governor Baxter in a message to
the Legislature last Thursday on fl
nancial matters said the university
had deficit of $2I4.035 according to
figures given him by President Robert
]. Alley. He suggested that the appro-
priation for the institution for 80
months be restricted to 100000 and
that the State should not assume the
deficit. The States contribution the
past two years was $4,000.
The College of Agriculture was es-
ablished by the State in 1865, the
name being changed in 1897 to Uni
versity Of Maine.
