Men Wanted to Attend Town Meeting. ..The town meeting on Monday even
ing was no exception tb the rule that few> of our citizens take Interest enough In town affairs to attend special town meetings. There were about twenty-flve voters In the town • hall when Town Clerk Remick called the meeting to order at 7.30 and read the farrant. Oh motion of T. F. Mullln,
n K. Clark was elected modera-tol^*On motion of John M. Maloney the meeting adjourned until eight o'clock Monday evening, April 28, This motion was carried unanimously. It wtts made because of the belief of the votefs who were ^present that they were too'few in number to pass upon the Important matters contained in the Warrant and that another opportunity should be given to get out a larger attendance.
The desirability of a large attendance will be better appreciated when it is realized that It-is'quite possible that as much money will be appropriated on the three articles in the warrant as w-as appropriated at the annual meeting. This Is so because:
1. The board of health asks tor (800- more to hire a public health ntirse, presumably in addition to the nurse we already have who is required to do both health nursing and district nursing.
The unanimous report of the committee "to consider the advisability ot purchasing, motor-fire apparatus and .reorganizing the flre department" recommends the purchase of a White-Triple Combination Hose Chemical Pumping Flre Car at a cost ot $8400, and the employment ot not more than two permanent firemen.
3. The additional appropriation asked tor highways Is understood to be wanted to enable the town to macadamize Park street trom the state highway to the Groton Mine to meet the macadam road which the town ot Groton has appropriated $"5,000 to build. Just what this will cost the town of j^ver is unc'ertaln as is also the amount of assistance, i r any, that will be given by the county and the commonwealth. But the re.sidents of East Main street are not inclined to allow any further large expenditure on
for an Intprvlow by correspondents representing New -England p.iper8. Just before tho Interview M Oor General Hale returned to the i " i , wuh Brig-Gen Cole, who had u i \ i . i in camp.and a cordial exchangt .,'. \,Teex-Ings followed their Introduction,
General March sold he *a.•i in camp on business concerned with the proposed purchase of the cantonmunt. and would moke an inspection ot the entire' reservation and ot Sooo acres which It was recommended to add to the -artillery range to Increase Its flr-Ini: distance., - Just after the distinguished visitor orrived on the parade ground, the signal for the review was Kiven. and at the flrst notes ot the famous band, the crowd pressed up closer to the line of review.
The doughboys wore their overseas caps, bu^ no overcoats or packs. They carried rifles. The wound stripes on their right sleeves showed plainly along the lines. A fanfare ,of trumpets preceded the passing ot the regimental standard. The regiment waa much below complete strength because of the absence ot men on furlough and the transfer ot others.
Mayor Peters arrived at camp toward the end of the review, having hurried from a conference on the telephone strike. Regimental Sexgt.-MaJ. George F. Gilbody escorted the mayor to the point ot review, and he stood beside Gov. Coolldge and Col. Logan. When the supply and machine gun companies and the medical detachment had passed, endihg the review, the spectators waited tor more and an order" was issued tor a formal parade of the regiment,-during which Col. Logan gave the orders, and they were executed by battalions. The second time of passing found thfe spectators able to Identify every company and to pick out their triends. A general reuiUon .followed the ceremonies. Chaplain Michael J. O'Connor, who was chaplain of the old 9th, and is now : senior division chaplain, met many old members' ot the regiment.
Gen. March said that there is $1,700,000 available Which the war department, can spend p^o rata for the organization ef natio^nal guard units in states, which is provided in existing law. He said he had received no information on the intention of any states to form national guard units,, but would be prepared to assign Inspector Instructors on formation-of such units.
"This Is one of the camps' we are talking of making a permanent establishment if we can obtain the consent ot congress," he said. "It Is contemplated to add 5000, acres to the present reservation all of which would be used in training."
General March said the question of universal service and training was a matter tor congress, but that the training camp would be used for. either enlisted men or youths selected according to the draft idea.- He indicated that while the preponderance ot trooj. arrivals trom France would be handled In Xew York, shipmenls to this camp may be increased beyond the scheduled 12,000 per month. He said that the record of 40O0 discharges a day, made with the 27th division in Xew York would be exceeded by Major General McCain's plan to discharge 19,000 Y.' D. men in two daysi "General McCalii always does things well," he said,.'
He was entertained at . lunch at Maj.-Gen. McCain's quarters at which MaJ.-Gen. Hale and other general offlccrs were the guests. The trip around the camp by autoMobile was concluded before night, and he went to Boston cnroute to Xew York. He contemplated $2,000,000 extension here. During the inspection he received information from quartermaster officers ot the construction and publlo utilities departments.

The flrst music trom the ina.s.sc.\ bands, which wero assembled far to the west of the field "in front of the division, was "Xo., the Colors " arul every soldier In the audience .stooii at attention and salute-{while the llax.t were escorted to center and front. Every civilian -who was near enough to sense the salute stood uncovered. But when the band broke Into the strains of "The Star Spangled Uanner " there was no mistake and the immen.se volume of music floated clear and distinct over the entire camp. "La Marseillaise," as a tribute to France, the foster mother of.the 26th Division during Its nineteen months ot service abroad, followed the ;natlonal air and the entire assemblage stood at salute
Major-General Hale, .still followed closely by his staff, advanced before the flags and In measured voice addressed the division. Brigadier-General George H. Skelton, the first chief of staff bf the Y. D.,'later commander ot the 104ih Infantry and then the Blst Infantry Brigade commander. commanded tho color escort. The words of the division commander conveyed to the command his feeling of pride in the occasion, an honor which was shared by all'units pf the division. He spoke in regret that each organization did not carry flags so that they could be decorated, but declared thoy shared equally In thJB,.,honor.
Major Emerson G. 'Taylor, assi.stant to Lleut.-Col. John J. Murphy, acting chief ot staff, whose voice was still husky from a cold, read the divisional order, naming th'o battles and dates, Lleut.-Col. Charles A.' Stevens, division adjutant, carried th'e battle ribbons. As soon its the reading of the order was completed tho^band music began with the most famptis French soldier song, "Madclon," and the division commander and staff advanced to the line of flags.
The regimental flags, each beautifully embroidered with a representation of the seal o t t h e United States, were lowered, and oyer the top ot the pike, between the silk and the bronze point, the ribbons .were securely fastened. Blue ribbons were used to decorate the flags o f ' the infantry regiments, silver letters' setting forth the names of the battles,' On the artillery banners red ribbons were placed, red tor the engineers, orange for the signal corps and blue for the machine gun battalions. Offlclal army photographers who served with the Y. D. in France recorded these scenes, as did a large battery of camera men. Cheers followed the conclusion of the ceremony. Later, silver, bands will bo en-
-graved and placed on the flag poles. Until then the battle streamers will signalize the proiid achievements of the Y. D. organization.
Major-General Clarence K. Edwards, who organized, equipped, trained; won a place in the flrst American army for the Y. D., and led it through it.s wonderful career tp the end „i hostilities. was a spectator to this heart-stirrintr event. He arrived at the parade field and stood silently watching the entire scene with keen and appraising eye. More than any other man he knew how much blood toU, how much an

Review of the 26th DIvMon. The tinal review and inspection ot
Xew England's Yankee Division took place at Camp Devens on Tuesday atternoon. Six states sent their governors to pay homage to the 26th Divi slon. which. -Khile ot the United State.s
Park street until East Main street is ] of America, is first and last Xew Eng rebuilt. Thcy say that the latter is not only more Important to the town as the connecting link in the state highway system, but that the high-way comml.ssion will be more disposed to assist the town In building it, and Washington street residents one and all say that It Is much more Important than either of Park street or E.i.«t Main street and mi)St be fixed up If either of the other streets are. The meeting may decide to macadamize all three street.^, and in th.at event the tax rate will pretty nearly "hit the sky."

Inspecting Camp. Gen. Feyton C. March came to
Camp Devens last Saturday to Inspect the camp which the war department contemplates buying. Ho ca/ne upon the parade fleld Just before the start ot the review ot the 101st regiment, to attend which a ga;hcrlng of notables. Including Governor Coolldge and Mayor Peters ot Boston, had journeyed up from Boston.
The review of "Boston's Ow-n" was hate In starting, but during the delay thousands of triends trom Boston and other communities which contributed soldiers to the regiment visited at the bn;rracl<9,"nnd offleers qtiaritrs. Hundreds ot automobiles were drawn up on the parade fleld, and' many reunions were hold between past and present commanders and members ot the"Flght lng Ninth" and the "Dandy Fifth."
Gen. March's arrival at headquarters was aw.altcd by Majbr-General McCain and all the oflicers ot the camp staff. Including Brlp.-Qen. Palmer A. Pierce, depot brigade commander, and formerly of the 27th division ot Xew York. ' '
The pennant of red and white with the seal of th^ IT. 8. distinguished Gen. March's automobile. He ,wa8 met by Mojor-Oeneral McCain and Major-General Hale and escorted to the camp commander's! ofBce. CapT. K. D. Cormerals from the ,Northeast-e/n department acted as his aide. FollowinK'the reception to the oflicers, 0«neral March conjiented to a reansst
land's own. A great assembly ot people attended the ceremonies, far larger than any previous audience at the military functions ot this war. A cantonment designed only tor training proved entirely inadequate for the masses of spectators which crowded On all sides ot the great parade field. Army officers estimated that there were 200.000 pr.esent, but scarcely a tenth of them could see the passing in review or the placing of decor.ttions with any degree of satisfaction. With-
-in the cantonment gates were fully 30,000 automobiles' which came in a steady procession for hours preceding the ceremonies and filled all roads leading from camp, from bank to bank, for hours after the review ended.
Every building top. telesraph and telephone pole, every hill which commanded Tt view of the parade field, was black with humanity. Military police were oiiliged to ride horses close to the lines of easer spectators to keep a path clear for the marching thousands. Even nn review, Y.
