A State Camp
Sons of Veterans

Sons of Union Veterans of the
Civil War is the new name adopted
by the Sons of Veterans at their last
annual Encampment held in Grand
Rapids last September. This was
done at the suggestion of the Grand
Army of the Republic so as to desig-
nate clearly who the Sons of Vete-
rams are.
Eligibility to the Sons of Union
Veterans is based on being a lineal
descendant of an honorably discharg-
ed soldier, sailor or marine of the
War of '61-'65, either by maternal or
paternal descent and being over six
teen years of age. The eligibility OF
this order is quite limited and 1T has
been such that an eligible had to 1--we

to belong and in this State there are
hundreds of towns too small TO be
able to have a camp. To correct
this, Division Commander Albert b.

quarters to institute a State camp.

Any person of the above eligibility
will do well to write Commander

This younger order is gradually
taking over the work formerly per-
formed by their fathers. They seek
out every grave of veteran. map
out and keep permanent record of
such and see that it is decorated
each year. They also carry on the
principles and objects taught them
by their fathers. You will find them
behind everything that is of an thon-
est patriotic benefit to the United
States of America.
On the 9th-10th of June the De-
partment of Maine Grand Army OF
the Republic, Sons of Union Veterans
and allied AuXiliaries will hold their
Encampment in the City of Portland.
Great plans are being prepared to

eighth Congress was not mucn OF
Congress and some of it's members
were grievously overpaid at wow

much. So a Congressman now ge.s
$4,000 a year. A Federal Clrcuit
Judge gets $500 and a Distric.
Judge $500. They, too. are entitled
to an increase. A bill in Congress
raising the Circuit Judges to $l5,00o
and the District Judges to $lZ,ouU
seemed reasonable and right. MOI;
however, to Congress. That would
mean a Judge would get more money
than a Congressman. Therefore the
salary bill died the death. A new
one was drafted that will give the
Circuit Judge $12.500 and the Dis
trict Judge $4,000. Since Congress
raised it's own pay last year. some
thing will have to be done Tor the
Judges, but not too much. Most OF
them must be content with what a
Congressman gets. Congress Is not

HERE'S WHAT WE ARE COMING

Woodpeckers discovered something
about a church steeple in New York
State suited to their taste and they
began pecking. The church trustees
were called together and after due
elaboration decided that the wood
peckers should be killed or they
would cause the roof to leak. Then
someone discovered 1t would be
necessary to obtain / emission from
State authorities. This was done
and the parish oiled up the shot
guns when it was learned that the
U. S. authorities must first be con-
suited. Being 'law-abiding citizens
the members of the parish are
awaiting news from Washington and
the woodpeckers are pecking away

necessary for an appeal to be made

stopped. Verify this government

sMooT STARTS SENSATION

Senator Smoot said something the
other day. which caused mild sem
sation in the minds of Senators, who
are supposed to take their sensations
mildly, though not always capable Of
doing so.
According to the Record, Smoot
said in course of 10000 word
speech. this:
THE United States is the money
center Of the world now. We will
have to provide some way to take
care Of these eXchanges"-Qhe trans
fer of funds from a debtor nation
to q creditor nation) Il say now to
you, Senators, that 1t is going to
be the hardest proposition we will
have to meet. l say also without
hesitation that the loans which we
have made to foreign countries and
that the banks are making now to
foreign countries can not be paid"
Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, inter-
rupted with the question, the Sena-
tor Is speaking Of private loans?"
Smoot replied. Il ami speaking of
private loans-they never will be
paid until something happens in the
world such as the war that has just
happened, transferring the money
center Of the United States to some
Foreign country; and then they will
pass through the same experience"
This was on Thursday. BY Sat-
urday. Senator Smoot felt called
upon to explain, which he did by
saying that he did not mean that
the bank and private loans would not
b refunded az they came due but
that foreign countries have not the
soh with which to pay. that some
way must be had to take care of the
exchanges. This country, it seems,
10 placed under the necessity of see
ing to it that its foreign creditors
os kept able to pay. Evidently the
senator mildly stated 1t when he
SAID this will be our hardest propo-
sition.

a pIEElculT TASK

Uncle Sam didn't ask Chile and
Peru to be permitted to settle the
Tacna-Arica dispute, but was asked
by them to act as arbitrator. The
request was made July 20, 1922.
March 4, 1925 President Coolidge
decided a plebiscite should be held
and entered upon the task Of getting
ready for it.
There has been criticism of this
plebiscite, it being argued that 1T will
be impossible for Chile and Peru to
agree to abide by the results of the
voting. The temper they have mani
tested under the conditions bears out
such a conclusion. There are plenty
of grounds warranting the assump-
ton that Uncle Sam would like to
throw over the seemingly impossible
task in disgust.
Such procedure, while warranted,
would not satisfy the desires of those
who are looking to us to find way
out for the disputants that shall be
acceptable and prevent an outbreak
of hostilities. Registration for this
plebiscite has been several times
postponed. The last report is to the
effect that mediation is being at
tempted, that Chile is holding off. If
mediation may be had it would seem
to promise the best solution. AT
least the news conveys no confidence
that the results of the plebiscite
would be accepted by the disputants'
It is a matter of interest to our peo-
pie that the efforts of our admins
tration shall succeed. 1t also means
much to the people of South Amer
lea. The problem is calling for
patience, wisdom and Cancellation.
These cannot be given the disputants
by Uncle Sam, but if he may be sue
cessful in leading them to settlement
he will have performed a most diff
ficult task.
