Colonel William N. Haskell, when
he agreed to feed up to 100000
Russian children to the coming
harvest, requisitioned sufficient food
supplies to enable him to carry out
that program. As the Relief Ad-

the hands Of the various committees

ming at Scarboro. Fifteen years or
more ago the marriage certigcate was
lost. and it was impossible to COM

his eight children, he has never since
the war been able to get a cent for
his wife. The remarriage was sug-
gested by one of the veterans bureau
officials. and now Mrs. Franklin is
not only doubly christened by the
married name she has borne for Is
years, but likewise is able to draw
her government compensation rcgu-
larly.
The Franklins can boast a rather
unusual family of children, many of
whom bear names of considerable
note. Such, for instance. is Victoria
Edith Cavelle Franklin, born in
Brooklyn. n. Y. on the original Ar

u. S. Must Enter
European Affairs
Declares Baker

Cedar Point. Ohio, July 13-There
will be continental European war
within the next three or four years
with the possibility that the United
States will be drawn in unless
something is done about it," New
ton d. Baker of Cleveland. former
secretary of war, predicted in an ac-
dress before the annual convention
of the Ohio Electric Light Associa-
tion here last night.
Entrance of the United States into
the full spirit Of the League of Ma
tons. he declared, was the only way
open to a possible prevention of such
a conflict which he pictured as the
most terrible the world will have ever
known.
President Harding is Externally
right" the former secretary said. Gin
his proposal for participation in the
world court, but this agency having
powers to deal only with interna-
tional questions of q legal nature
"can't be counted upon to end war"
Partnership ought not to stop at
the seacoast," Mr.. Baker declared in
urging that the country assume full
membership in the league but with
any reservation or under any name
that might be desired.

Re-surface Roads

Bridgton, July ia special town
meeting has been called for Satur-
day, at P. NJ, at the Town House,
to raise money to resurface the road
through the village with bituminous
macadam, like the road which is be-
ing built near Moose Pond, to the
turn at the upper High street road.
and will also be built at the Naples
town line. 1t is estimated that be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 will be re-
quired for this, also for the three
bridges to have steel stringers and
cement. The matter has been dis
cussed many times, and as the con-
tractors are now at work near be
with stone crusher and steam roller,
the town meeting is called to con-
slider the advisability of providing
for this work now. The street
through the village was relaid several
years ago, and 1t is thought the
foundation is fitted for resurfacing.
AS this is a portion OF the Roosevelt
highway a special interest is felt in
having a good road. to correspond
favorably with he Federal road be-
ing built.
