District National Guard

that the reduction may be made in
the normal course of expiration of en-
liStmentS
There are cases now of enlisted men
who have put hitch in the guard and
whose enlistments have expired, but
who want to be re-enlisted. Realizing
the valuable asset in a man who has
done a term of enlistment and wants
20 remain, particularly in such high
ly technically trained organization as
the Engineers, the officers are at a
loss to understand why they should
force such a man out in order to bring
about a reduction. Men bring their
friends down and enlist their interest
in the organization, and when they
reach the point that they desire to
join the orGa MIA ton, they have to be
told that the regiment is at full
strength. They are told that they
may be placed on the waiting list.
During the interim while waiting to
be reached on the list, the man may
become discouraged and decide he
does not want to join. Then the
Guard finds it difficult to get recruits.
During the year there are many dis
charges due to various reasons such
as leaving the city and for business
reason, with the reSult that by lnSpec-
ton time the companies are below
strength. Then if they are not full
up and do not get recruits they are
placed on a probation status and can
not go to camp until the men are OBJ
tanned.
1t is the contention of the officers
that they should be allowed to keep
above the required strength in order
to guard against such contingency
as faced the organization just before
the last camp when it looked as
though several of the companies would
not be able to go to camp because of
lack of sufficient personnel as required
by the War Department. The matter
is to be taken up with the War De-
partment, and particularly that phase
which would deny a present member
of the Guard from re-enlisting, which
would result in a total loss to the Gov
ernment of the money spent in train
ing him.
Several changes in battalion and
regimental positions are being given
consideration by Col. John w. Och
mann, commanding the 121st Engi-
neers. The slate which has been ten
tatively made out, but which has not
yet been approved, calls for the pro-
motion of Second Lieut.. c. B. Ham
ilton from Company F, I'd Battalion,
70 liISl ileuleildiil anu MS dSsiS Hllehl
as adjutant of the I'd Battalion, of
which Maj. Julian Oliff is command
ing officer. He would relieve First
Lieut.. Earl Smithson, who, 1t Is plan
ned, will be promoted to captain and
detailed as adjutant of the regiment,
relieving Lieut.. Macartee, who will be
returned to duty with one of the
companies in the regiment.
1t is believed by those in close
touch with regimental affairs that
the slate as made out will be approved,
and that orders announcing the new
assignments will be issued within a
short time so that the organization
will be complete for the drill year. AL

On Friday, the next to the last day
on which ballots will be received in
the contest for the selection Of q
queen of the fourth annual state Of
Maine winter carnival. the task of
counting and tabulating the great
avalanche Of ballots became too
great for the committee to keep up
with. and after counting far into the
night hours last night, Chairman
Horace Ingraham issued a statement
to the effect that no more public an
nouncements of the standing Of the
seven contestants will be made until
the presentation Of the victorious as
pirant at the carnival ball on the
evening of next Thursday. Feb. S.
Over fifty thousand votes were cast
in the contest yesterday. the next to
the last day on which the ballots were
to be distributed by the merchants and
voting stations, and to date the total
for the seven candidates runs close
to a quarter million. The margin
dividing the first four IN the standing
Friday morning was less than the to-
tai vote for one day for almost any
one of the. contestants.
Chairman Ingraham also stated
last night that because Of the close
ness of the contest and to assure full
justice to the seven energetic young
aspirants to the royal honor. the
votes would be, carefully recounted
and checked. and until the recount

Boston Extension
Air Mail Service
OF Local Benefit

Mail air service extension to Bos-
ton, an act which is now occupying
the attention of the L. S. Senate and
which, it is understood. is looked
upon with favor by them, will have
most definite benefit to Augusta
patrons and few of the more
salient points were pointed out. Fri
day by Postmaster John Arnold.
The extension of air mail service
to Boston will make changes very
advantageous to Augusta. The
present air service. starting from
New York, has not been particularly
valuable to Augusta patrons, on ac-
count of the delay in making con-
nectiOns with initial point to service.
If the service be extended to operate
from Boston. mail forwarded from
Augusta on the night Pullman at
1880 o'clock. would make connec-
tions with the airplanes the follow
ing morning. From Boston the SER
vice to San Francisco would be ap-
proximately 36 hours. intermediate
manding are being made under the
present schedule at Cleveland, Chi
cago. Cheyenne, Salt Lake City.
Special airplane stamps are is
sued from the Augusta Post Office
but the ordinary stamps can be
used, provided they are properly
endorsed by marking directly under
the stamp. via Air Mail''.
