An Interesting Talk
A service long to be remembe^ by the residents of Freeport was held at the Methodist Church oq Sunday night when Captain John Findley of the 22nd New Brunswick Regiment of Canada, told many things which had happened to him in the work. The captain was a man of six feet and over and was a splendid example of Canadian manh.'M>d.
That country, numbering about eight million of people, has sent so far nearly a million men to the aid of the mother country.

There are a number of young men in Freeport who have been drilling Friday nights under Lieut. Coogan, a New "York State Guard officer. Some of these young men are High School students, while others are em¬ ployed during the day, but according to New York State law these young men are compelled to drill so many hours per week.
An opportunity is now given these yoang men to join the Freeport Home Defense Reserve and get what addi¬ tional training they can so that when thw^time comes to either enlist or be drafted, they will have a big advant¬ age over the other men with the re¬ sult that their chShces for securing non-commissioned officer appointments will be very good.
Most all of the young men who have been drafted or have enlisted from the Freeport Unit have non-commissioned officer appointments and in a few j cases they have received commis- i sions.

'That flag is a pledge for the prA- ent and a promise for the future—the hope of mankind. Upon its trium¬ phant depends the victorious ending of this war. It will fly over the bat¬ tle-scarred fields of France and Bel¬ gium and Italy until the work to which we have set our hands shall have been accomplished. It will fly until broken Belgium shall have been re¬ stored. It will fly until bleeding France shall have be%n freed from the invader. It will fly until internation¬ al treaties shall be recognized as sSc- red contracU; until the freedom of the seas shall be made absolute and the lives of American citizens respected and protected everywhere. It will fly until military autocracy has been an¬ nihilated and until arrogant Pritssia shall be driven suppliant to her knees before the enlightened democracy of triumphant America."

Willis Johnston, Naval Militia, re¬ turned from a trip overseas, visited the (^ub rooms Sunday. He says that qandy and smokes are in great de¬ mand by the boys while traveling across. It is understood that these can be purchaaed at reasonable prices through the army canteens when camp is reached on the other side.
Saturday aftemoon we had a re¬ quest for information regarding a sol¬ dier by name of Richards, from Cali¬ fornia, who was coming to . Oamp Mills, and fraternal friends here want¬ ed to get in touch with him, but had neither his full name or his branch of service. Inquiry was made and the information flnally fumished that the man had been left in the base hospital at San Francisco, in The Presidio. Contributiona Wanted
absolutely false. He saw only three dninken soldiers during his -six months' stay in France,
He was in Paris during an air raid and described the explosion of a bomb in the same block in which his hotel was located.' He was sitting in his room writing letters when the bomb struck. The fire was blown out of the fireplace into the middle of-the room and the window blown in apd the ho¬ tel cracked from eaves to cellar.
The   homesickness   and   home-sick¬ ness of the men, the thing the Y. M. C. A. is there to assuage, was pre-^ sented as being something far deeper | than the -sentimental thing we laugh at.
He urged, therefore, that letters, regular and cheery be sent. He cau¬ tioned about reporting sickness oi* any
