which includes women over ill who

professional work. Those under ill.
who are likewise engaged or those
women who have been in business
but have retired for any reason may
become associate members. The

walks or life, who are engaged in
business.
Every woman present expressed
herself in favor of organizing a
club. Miss Helen Cole was elected
[ a committee of one to arrange for
Miss Abbie Dennett of Portland to

the purpose of organizing. Mrs. E.
R. Barton, Mrs. Thomas Weeks. Mrs.
| Prank Brown and Mrs. Anna Drum
mond were appointed a nominating
committee to prepare a slate of offi
cers to be presented at the time of

i found.
j Colby Baseball
! Coach Arrives to
Size Up Prospects
I Fred Parent, who is to be tlie base
ball coach at Colby for this season
. arrived Monday afternoon to look
' over the prospects and to start the
plans for training. "Spike" Williams,
captain of the team met Parent at
the station and they went over to the
gymnasium at once where the squad
; was gathered for practice. Profes
; <>sr Edwards was conducting the set
| ting up exercises with the usual
. musica laccompanimeut and after
observing the men at work Farcnt
| said that he thought it a very good
! method and said that the music was
a great help to training, and should
be kept up all through the season
during the rainy days.
Everyone was eager to meet the
I new coach and he received a cordial
1 reception in the gymnasium and in
the fraternities that he visited. He :
was very easy to get acquainted with '
and his stories of baseball as it was
played when he was in the big '
leagues were very interesting. He i
said that he visited Watervtlle in j
1916 when his Sanford team played 1
against Ben Houser’s team for the ;
State championship. That game was J
played on the Alumni field which has |
since been changed to Searveins i
field.
Coach Parent will not take an ac- :
tive part in the training this time •
but when he comes back to Water- ;
ville on April 4 he will try to put the j
men on the field at once. This will !
be possible if the weather continues !
as it was for the past few weeks. He 1
said that he wants to keep the men
on the field all he possibly can. and
he is going to make the men do some
real work. Coach Parent said that j
he felt encouraged at the number of 1
men out and he also said that he ;
would rather have a team of men
who w'ere varied in size than to'
have a team of all small men.
In answer to an inquiry concern- i
ing the coaching system that he is j
going to use Parent said that he had i
worked out a system that is pecul
iarly his own. It is a system that
has come from the coaching in the
big leagues and from actual field ex
perience. He said the Jimmy Con
nors in Providence in 1900 taught
him more about baseball Ilian any
other man he has ever played un
der.
Parent will be here until Wednes
day and will spend most of his time
in preparation for the spring train
ing.

Such an Insult
The party was in full swing when
one of the guests, a lady of uncertain
, age, was noticed by the hostess to be
preparing to take her departure.
“Must you really go?” asked the
hostess.
“I will not stop here and he insulted
j another minute." declared the guest,
indignantly. “How dare your husband
come up and ask me to take part in an
ancient folk dance!"—Rehoboth Sun
day Herald.
It is safe to say that one Corinna.
; woman will ever believe that dogs
can reason. Her attention was at
tracted by the family dog's frantic
barking at the door and when she
went out was led by the dog to a log
pile which had rolled over and covered
her little son, who was playing on the
logs. She succeeded in attracting
the attention of a man passing in the
road and the boy was released, not
much hurt, the logs falling around
him and not crushing him.
Mrs. Elsie Burgess, president of
the Kennebunk Business Girls’ Club,
on returning home from a club dance
the other evening, tossed a. heavy
robe over the dasher of her carriage
and forgot to extinguish the lighted

astonished in the morning to find
but half the carriage, the front

All Yankee Boys
Out of Germany
by First of July
Washington, March 20.—All
American troops will he out fit
Germany by July 1 under orders is
sued by Secretary Weeks today by
| direction of President Harding,
j About 2000 officers and men arc dir
ectly affected, the remainder of
Major General Allen's command in
the Coblenz bridgehead zone on the
Rhine being already under home or
ders.
Secretary Weeks indicated that the
step was ordered in compliance with
the policy previously announced of
withdrawing the Rhine forces as
quickly as possible. It had no re
lation, he said, to the wrangling in
Congress over further reduction of
the size of the army nor did it re
sult from the correspondence be
tween the State department and the
allied commissioners over the Ameri
can demand for a shore in German
| reparations payments cm account of
tile maintenance of troops in Ger
I many.
The President's original order, it
i was pointed out, directed that all
; troops on the Rhine .with the excep
tion of not more than the single in
fantry regiment and artillery and
other auxiliary detachments, to be
brought home in army transports as
rapidly as possible. The movement
is row in progress and the work of
the two transports running in the
service will be continued under to
day's instructions, Mr. Weeks said,
until the remaining troops also have
been returned, which would be be
fore July.
The war secretary made no cx
I planation of steps that, would be
! taken to turn the Coblenz sector over
j to the allied commanders for polic
ing and to hold the bridgehead as a
means for further advances into
Germany to enforce treaty obliga
tions. The three bridgehead posi
tions were taken up under the arm
istice for Ibis purpose and their oc
cupation conl'cmed in the treaty of
the United States and Germany.
It was admitted at the war de
partment that this action of the
United States in completely aban
doning the Rhineland position might
have some effect on the negotations
j resulting from Secretary Hughes'
j action in submitting a request that
I the United States receive a share in
j German reparation,payments already
j made to cover maintenance of the
j a'-mies on the Rhine. It was Insist
ed, however, that the step was not
direct result of those negotiations,
since complete withdrawal was fore
cast before the note calling atten
tion to the American bill in excess of
j $241,000,000 on this account was
| transmitted.
