Maine Sunday At The
Washington Memorial
Valley Forge, June 28

Mrs. Blaine S. Viles, the State Re-
gent of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution. calls the attention
of D. A. r. members and Maine peo-
pie in general to Maine Sunday at
the Washington Memorial Chapel,
Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.
To emphasize the National Me-
mortal Chapel. beginning with the
first Sunday in 1924, a National
Choir leads the worshippers in the
praise of God. Every Sunday Is
State Sunday except Christmas
when 1t falls on a Sunday. Easter
Day, Trinity Sunday and Whitsun-
day. Every State has its State Sun
day at Valley Forge, and each Sun
day Is known by the name OF the
State. June 2Sth, has been designat-
ed as Maine State Sunday. On that
Sunday the State Flag is used in the
Chapel, If one has been provided
and the arms of the State are print
ed on the service leaflet for that
Sunday. Obviously it is desirous
that as many citizens of the State
as possible attend the service.
This chapel, since it is the Wash.
ington Memorial, should be of vita
interest to all Daughters of the
American Revolution. Its pews are
the Pews of the Patriots, and its
ceiling is the Roof of the Republic
High overhead are the arms of youi

SEEK PEACE PACT
FOR EUROPE THROUGH
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Geneva, June 7.-(AP)-Consoli-
dation of the peace of Europe
through a pact of security as sug-
gested by Germany and operating
under the league of nations, with
Germany a member of the league,
is the object of important CONVEX
sation begun here today by Austen
Chamberlain, British foreign secre-
tary, and M. BRAND, the French for
eign minister.
An accord was reached in prin-
ciple between Great Britain and
France concerning the basis of a
pact with Germany with respect to
the maintenance of her western
frontiers along the lines of the un-
ratified Wilsonian tripartite pact,
but precisions must be agreed upon
and much must be done relative to
Germany's eastern frontiers, where
England is disinclined to assume any
responsibility other than that i'm
piled by the covenant of the league
of nations.
France not only wants pact COW
ering the Rhine, but seeks some un-
derstanding that peace +~7attes es-
tablishing new states and new from
tiers like those of Poland and
Czecho -Slovakia cannot be revised
by Germany and made subject to
arbitral decisions. In other words,
France is seeking to remain loyal to
her two eastern allies and convince
these countries that they will not
be abandoned, even il Frances own
territory integrity is assured.
These Franco-British converse
tions quite overshadow in interest
Daily Kennebec journal., 1925-06-08

the quarterly session of the league
council which opens tomorrow and
has attracted a large number of
European statesmen to Geneva.
France shows an increasing tendency
to base her foreign policies on the
league of nations, although the pres
ent British government is generally
regarded as less warm for the
league than it's Labor predecessor.
Mr.. Chamberlain is on record as
standing for those pacts in harmony
with the league and under the
leagues direction. All eyes are
turned on Germany, endeavoring to
determine whether Germany appli-
cation for league membership Is an
early possibility. This Is earnestly
desired here, where it is argued that
Germany would be in better posi-
tion to defend all her interests by
being a member of the league and
it's council.
M. BRAND returned to his hotel
this evening smiling and apparently
happy after his talks with Mr.
Chamberlain. He declined to make
a statement, but the French legation
authorized The Associated Press to
say that an accord had been reach
ed with England concerning the ma
ture of. the reply which France will
make to Germany, and that 1t only
remained to smooth out the details
on which Mr.. Chamberlain awaits
word from London.
The British spokesman did not go
so far as the French, but srid he
was confident a complete accord
would be reached on all points with
in two or three days. 1t is understood
that in replying to Germany, France
will make it clear that the reply en-
bodies the views of EnglandS The
cardinal point will be that Germany
ioin the league of nations.

and attractive lines in this modern
Colonial design which give it an air
Of refinement and dignity. 1t would
be we'll suited to a suburban loca-
ton having trees and shrubbery to
give II proper setting. A southern
exposure would insure the principal
rooms being sunny and pleasant. One
enters the house into a generous
sized hall facing stairway of Col

doors are used in the opening to

placed of the living room, while the
dining room has an open porch ad-
jacent to 1t. The kitchen and PAN

is the reason why the Chapel was
such an important factor in the de-
velopment of the National feeling
during the World War. Every boy
who entered the Chapel was at
home there. and many stood under
their State Panel and thought of
Home, as many men and women
have since done. The very words
which Washington used in his Par
ish Church, Pohick, Virginia, or
Christ Church, Alexandria, voice the

POSTAL UNION
ASKS END OF
spy SYSTEM
Postal Service Ruled by
Secret Inspectors

WASHINGToN-Thos. =. Flaherty,
seeretary-treasurer Of the Natl. Fed.
Grafton Of Post Office Clerks, In his
annual report, to be given to the con-
vention Of the organization In Kan
sas City, Sept. iii, admits that I'm
der present conditions the postmaster
is less important than before the In
ment in the service. But he argues
speetors became the actual ruling ele-
that "the opportunities for postmast-
ers to harrass clerks" can be mini
mixed II men who approach the prob
lens of the office with sympathy for
the human element are promoted to
these places.
Ordinarily, Flaherty observes, pro-
motion from the ranks has had the
effect Of hardening the individual in
his policy as a supervising officer.
The antidote to this hardening tend
ency is prior experience as an execu-
tive in the labor movement. Trade
union officers know men and the
needs of men; they can learn rules
without forgetting men.
Wants Spying Abolished.
Calling for reorganization of the
post Office inspection force, with res
toration of the crime-detection service
to the department Of justice, the re-
port emphasizes the demand of the
union that overhead lookout or spy
ing galleries in post Office buildings
be removed.
mo humanizing program can be
complete" it says, unless these relics
Of an archaic and ineffective spy sys-
tenn are removed. If we are to be
partners in conducting the postal in
dustry we shall insist upon being
treated as the trustworthy equals Of
those in authority and not be con-
stantly subjected to an Objectionable
espionage that stigmatizes subordin-
ates as potential wrongdoers. 1t
is singular fact that railway clerks,
rural carriers, city carriers and other
postal meployes are not subjected to
similar constant espionage"
Union Bulletins Censored.
Protest is made against Postmaster
General News policy Of censorship Of
bulletin boards in Swing" rooms at
the main Offices. Unless statements
from the unions are found to be laud-
atory of the department officialdom,
they are not permitted to be posted.
! THE thot is abhorrent to me-" says
Flaherty, shat after our long strug-
gle to be freed from official domino
ton and official gags, that we now.
even by implication, submit to a cen,
sorship by postal oficialdom of any
Of our news utterances."

Z to 4, the Pittsburgh pacemakers
tagged the New York team with its
twelfth defeat in 90 starts since
McGraw led his cohorts out of the

break at Boston and three victories
out of series of four at Chicago gave
the club an encouraging start until
the Western tour brought them into

sulting in six straight defeats. Rally

opening game with the Pirates, they
lifted their string of triumphS to
eight, but by stopping the Pittsburgh
club today and tomorrow they would
still fall one game short of an even

the gap to first place only to two
games and a half.
