vited US to dedicate ourselves on
July 4th.
It is perhaps well that. we sacri-
fee a little something of our pleas
ure las we consider our country's
cause. It should seem possible dur
ing the morning to accomplish all
that we shall need in rallying our
resources on this anniversary day.
The National Guard and The
American Legion and very many
representative organizations have
volunteered their services in any
way they can assist. You may con-
fidently count upon the co-opera-
ton of every community in our
State in planning such simple pro-
grams as shall seem to be worthy of
that day.
Cordially Yours,

Besides the members of the ex-
petition aboard the Bowdoin when
she sailed from here were many of
their relatives and friends, including
the sisters of the explorer, Mrs. w.
c. Fogg of Freeport and Miss Jessie
and Miss Eva Macmillan of Haver-
hill, Mass. They remained on the
schooner until it reached Monhegan
island tonight.
Early in the day the harbor was
dotted with pleasure craft of every
size and description. Countless row
boats and cupboard motors cruised
noisily about and more dignified
yachting sloops and steamer yachts
lay quietly at anchor. Not a vessel
but what was decorated with every
spare piece of bunting on board. 1t
was nothing short of a regatta, with
every vessel decked out in best bib
and tucker.
Saturday morning the U. S. Quar-
termasters Corps steamer General
Robert Anderson sailed from Fort
Preble in Portland Harbor and ar
rived at the Macmillan wharf in
Wiscasset in the middle of the
forenoon, with the 9th U. S. Infan-
try Band.
The cars were parked outside the
area on lawns, in yards and along
the roadway. All morning long the
celebration consisted in visiting the
ships. Toward noon, basket lunch
parties organized on the fields, while
lines formed outside hotels and
restaurants. Supplies on the stands
were soon exhausted.
The youngest member of the
crews of the Bowdoin and Peary is
Kennett Lawson, aged 16, son Of a
Chicago banker. He shipped as an
ordinary seaman but it is under
stood he will be cabin boy for the
explorer on the Bowdoin.
''See you in September Mac" a
man with leather lungs bawled as
the Bowdoin began making way
down the Sheepscot.
When the Bowdoin left here this
afternoon she flew not only the Flag
that was presented to Commander
Macmillan. but the gray. brown, and
green flag of the National Geogra-
phic Society. Both ships flew the
Geographic Society banner. Then
Commander Macmillan also had
aboard the Bowdoin the beautiful
Maine flag which was presented by
the Portland Rotary Club and the
Portland Society of Art, which. he
will plant on the new continent in
the name of Maine.
A heavy brass cylinder which will
contain records of the expedition
was presented to Commander Mac
MILAN. In event of the discovery of
the new continent it will be placed
there.
Major General A. w. Greedy, the
first American explorer of note and
who Al years ago reached the farth-

on a journey to point even farther
north than he had gone.

PnSSLe a Day

A new development in aviation is
the increased use of the McCook
Field type Of parachute. To date
twenty-five aviators owe their lives
to twenty-five small packages Of
folded silk and cord.
Last week three aviators tested
these parachutes at three different
attitudes. The total drop Of the
three men equalled 5000 feet. The
second man jumped one-half as far
as the first. The third mans jump,
although the most dangerous, was
the shortest. In spite of that the
units in the third mans drop we're
exactly the same as those in the
first aviator's drop.
How far did each aviator fall?

no justification for me or any other

to revive a defunct branch of the so
cialist party, under the pretense that
the party represents the working

facts, would advise the New Eng

| can no longer retain my position

branch of that party which has so
far degenerated that it has openly al
lied itself with the enemies of the
workers, supports the labor bureau

lutionary element of the workers, and
even has the arrogance to import
that white guardist scoundrel, Abram-

Campaign Social for
Communist Aldermanic
Candidate on Feb. %

The gath ward campaign commit
tee announces that it will wind up its
campaign in the Chicago aldermanic
election on Feb % with social at
1887 w. Roosevelt Road. Thus it
will cover its campaign deficit, make
some excellent last hour propaganda,
get watchers for the polls, and have a
good time III the bargain.
On the program are the well-known
Freiheit Mandolin Orchestra, which
will give solo and quartette numbers
as we'll as its ensemble, piano recital
by A. S. Hambro, and a playlet by
the Marshfield Juniors entitled:
after Epstein is Alderman" Great
mystery enshrouds this play and less
news is allowed to leak out than out
of a caucus.
1t will really be city wide affair
because all funds over and above the
small ward campaign expenses will be
donated to the city campaign fund.
