aires and he was glad of the chance
to renew his experiences of year
and half in the service of the coun-
try. The speaker was for the great
er part of the time in the educational
corps and addressed many soldiers,
both in the training camps of the
South and in France, on the causes.
He said that he was sincere in his
talks at that time but discoveries
that have come since the conclusion
of hostilities have contradicted many
of the opinions earlier held by his
torians as to the causes of the con-
flict.
AS an instance of the many things
that led up to the declaration of
war he cited the knowledge recent
ly gained that Poincare in 1914 was
a visitor in Russia and that many
times during the few years previous
to that time the French premier
had been in Russia, trying to bring
on the war which later swept over
Europe. Professor Barnes of Col
umbia, the speaker said, had given
the most blame for the war to Aus
tria, then to Russia. France, Ger
many and England in the order
named. The investigation of the
secret documents in the Russian
archives, according to DR.. Wilkinson,
had led to we1lnigh unbelievable
discoveries as to the exact causes
of the war and he said that many
OF these had proved to be very dis
agreeable.
The speaker also devoted some
time to a discussion of the posi-
bilitieS of war in the future, say
ing that even the most optomistic
could not believe that the late war
had been one to end war for all time.
He pointed to the utterances of sew
eral authorities that have lately been
made which show that bitter grudges
exist between many European pow
ers and that it is but the abject pow
erty of these powers at the present
time which is keeping that CONT
nent from further strife.
In closing he spoke of the United
States participation in the struggle
and the relations of this country to
Europe. DR.. Wilkinson did not be-
lieve that America could long main
tain an Indifferent attitude towards
the problems of the countries across
the Atomic.
AT the business meeting it was
voted that the post acquire from the
federal government a suitable war
trophy to be presented to the city
of Waterville and the matter was
left in the hands of committee
made up of Richard Bull, DIR. Tur-
cote and Harvey Chenevert.
Plans have been completed for the
observance of Memorial Day and it
is hoped that there will be a 100 per
cent representation of the Legion
aires. During the day the cemeteries
IN Wlnslow and Waterville will both
be visited where services will be held
and graves decorated. Orders for the
day are to appear in the newspapers.

How must the ball be hit to
be legal?
By LEO DIEGEL
Canadian, Shawnee, Illinois and
Florida Open Champion

Florida Open Champion
The rules say that in order for a
hit to be legal, the ball must be fair
ly struck at with the head of the
club-not pushed, scraped nor spoon
ed. The penalty for breach of this
rule is loss of the hole. A shot might
be defined as a pure hit. with the
club head acting as the hitting in
strument. Often a ball lies SO that
a blow can hardly be made and there
is a temptation to dig the blade of
the club under the ball and lift it
out. Such tactics are illegal, and re-
suit in loss of the hole without
having added anything to the play
er's skill as golfer.
