high American, Canadian and British officials.
 Explaining the motives for the re- movsl, pr. Jacobs today said:
 flames Edward OgIethrope was the first great Angelo-American, the first anti-slaNery advocate and the first prohibitionist of the United States and the people of Georgia feel that the ashss of their great founder should rest In Georgian soil, so that his deeds might be an inspiration for cur youth. His remains will be re- Inferred i,l 3 special shrine erected on tue university campus as a center Of Georgian loyalty and patriotism" 3Iet Some Opposition.
 Dr. Jacobs met some opposition at the outset in his efforts to obtain permission for the removal of the body. In opposing him some of the British officials recalled the public storm against the efforts Of Ameri- .cans to recover the body of Poca- hontas, whose exact resting place never was definitely established, but Dr. Jacobs pointed out that Governor Qglethrope's grave was distinctly identified by a memorial tablet which records that he was buried besides bis wife, in the center of the chancel in tho Church of All Saints.

manifested by you to US and the
boys. AS soon as the boys were
found, at once had phone mes

good news.
MY boy was in fair condition
when found. with the exception of an
infected blister on his foot, his COM
panion. however. was in very bad
shape and could only be transported
to the hospital two days after being
rescued. Physically he was all in.
His legs and especially his feet were
in pitiful condition, swollen to
twice their normal size and his toes
had turned completely black. Dry
gangrene has set in and time alone
will tell whether he will lose a toe
or two or not. The local doctors at
Grcenville are hopeful and with the
nurses are doing all they can for him
and also for my son. DR.. j. Budd
Thompson OF Bangor. who at my re-
quest, was called in consultation,
was also fairly optimistic.
Il thank you most cordially for
asking me to visit you at the State

of this privilege in the. near future.
In the meantime. / beg to renew to

held other public offices. In 1885 he
took his family to California. where
he had since resided and where he
was for many years a successful

One OF the most remarkable things
about Col. Hersey was the way he
struggled for an education in his
youth. He started for Harvard with
his few modest belongings in trunk

Legion Plan for an .
Aircraft Conference

Governor Baxter in a letter 10
Harold w. Ross of New York. editor
of The American Legion Weekly,
endorses his suggestion that an IN
ternational conference he called 10
impose a limitation on military air
craft armament.
THE outstanding accomplishment
of our late Presidents administra-
ton was the conference for the
Limitation of Armaments and II TINS
can be supplemented by another con-
ference to limit military aircraft
armament, a great step forward TO-
ward World Peace will have been
taken" says Gov. Baxter in his let
ter
There are selfish interests at
work in this country and abroad that
seek to keep nations in arms. but
these interests are of the old school
and a new day is dawning.
Thoughtful citizens are aware of
the fact that force is still necessary
in the world but that does not pre-
vent us from earnestly advocating
better international understanding
and the gradual reduction of mill
tary and naval forces.
THE American Legion can do no
finer or nobler work than to throw
it's great influence in a proper way
toward World Peace, and the step
that you and your associates now are
taking will show the American fpeo-
pie that the Legion is a farseeing,
public spirited organization that in
tends to be found on the right side
of great issues.
II shall cooperate with YOU in
every way and am greatly encourag-
ed at the stand that you are taking"

BoWdoin's New
Chimes Next Fall
Custom of Ringing

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Brunswick, Me-, Aug. 16-Wher
Bowdoin College opens in September
it is expected the new set of chimes
provided for by the bequest of Will
! liam M. Payson, IA of Portland, will
be installed and ready for use in the
South tower of King Chapel. The
] chimes will consist OF a set OF eleven
bells in the key of G, the largest
bell weighing 1900 pounds. They
will be operated by the usual lever
! type of key board from the choir
| loft of the Chapel. Professor Ed
ward H. Wass, head of the Music
Department at Bowdoin, has had
many years experience with chimes
and will play the Bowdoin set They
have been selected under his direc-
ton.
The Bowdoin chimes will come
from the famous Meneely Foundry
Of Watervliet. n. Y. This firm of
bell-makers made the great chime at
Cornell and have supplied institu-
tons all over the country from Har-
ward to the University of California.
Bowdoin undergraduates, who
have expected the chimes to replace
the clamorous bell which wakes
them for morning chapel and calls
them to classes. will be disappointed
The present bell will remain in the
north tower and will be as insistent
as ever. The chimes will be played
often, but not for routine duty. The
special occasions on which they will
be heard will probably not include
football celebrations or those fol-
lowing the annual Freshman Soph-
more rush in the fall.
1t has been a Bowdoin tradition
for years for the class winning this
rush to ring the chapel bell while
the losing class attempted to pre-
vent them. Usually the first men to
reach the chapel, climb the beams
inside the tower and pull the bell
rope UP after them. They can then
ring the bell at will and repel invad-
ers one by one. Several times those
below have attempted to smoke the
bell-ringers out with sulphur, for the
tower is unobstructed by floors and
draws like chimney.
Many traditions center around the
chapel bell at Bowdoin. Several
times the clapper has been stolen
and college exercises thrown into
confusion until it was found. On
one of these occasions a new clap
per was to be installed with much
ceremony. the president having call
