ceiving the first mail, which started 
from home on June 28. He tells of 
the need of money by. the men as 
they do not know when they will be 
_ paid. He said there was no paper 
money except what the men took 
He saw a good many 
silver dollars and understood the mer 
were to be paid in gold. 
J. Irving Baker wrote from C»- 
lumbus, N. M., on July 7: 
“We reached E] Paso on the sec- 
end and were shipped right on t> 
Columbus, where we arrived at 1.30 
in the morning and marched to camp. 
T haven’t been able to write for the 
last two days as our company was 
on guard duty and not allowed to 
leave the company street. Night be- 
iore last we were on as_ interior 
guards around our own camp and las: 
night we were on outpost duty. We 
had to march out to put up our pup 
tents and then go out and lay down 
ior two hours at a stretch with four 
hours for sleep between. This is 
enly at night; we have the regular 
duties during the day. We are to go 
on again tonight. We feel pretty 
proud as our regiment is the first 
Massachusetts regiment to get out- 
post duty. We had it before we had 
been here a week and the troops of 
New Mexico didn’t get it until they 
had been in a month.” 
He enjoyed the trip to the border 
and described the send-off given the 
men by the towns along the route. 
BROTHERHOOD PICNIC 
MancuesterR Men GATHERED LAST 
SATURDAY FOR OUTING AT 
Tuck’s Porn’. 
No voracious shark ever displayed 
a better appetite than the 55 men whe 
gathered at Tuck’s Point, Manches- 
ter, for the annual picnic of the Man- 
chester Brotherhood last Saturday 
afternoon. The men made the trip to 
the point by bus in time for the 
dinner, which was served at 12.30 
o'clock. They did full justice to the 
ample supply of chowder prepared 
by Granville Crombie, and then en- 
joyed brief talks by members of the 
Brotherhood. Rev A. G. Warner re- 
viewed the work of the Brotherhood 
‘during the past year and remarked on 
its growth. It now boasts of a mem- 
bership of 225 and has had an aver- 
age attendance of over 100 at the

The Brotherhood during the past 
winter has had speakers who have 
touched upon ivportant religious and 
social problems and have discussed 
the European war and American pre- 
paredness from every available angle 
of vision. Among the speakers have 
been Congregationalists, Baptists, 
Methodists, Unitarians, Universalists, 
Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics, 
Episcopalians and Socialists. The 
auestion period, which has followed 
each address, has been a feature of 
the meetings and the courteous treat- 
ment accorded the speaker during 
these periods has been a source’ of 
pride to the Brotherhood. Questions 
have been asked for the purpose of 
bringing out information and never 
to embarrass the speaker. 
Rev. Dr. Levi M. Powers of Glou- 
cester spoke about this feature of the 
Brotherhood meetings. He said that 
during the last winter he had felt +t 
his duty to set forth certain facts 
regarding Germany not generally 
known. During his lectures in vari- 
ous places he met with a good deal 
of criticism because he had taken an 
unpopular side of the war question. 
In Manchester, however, he was ac- 
corded the most courteous treatment 
Lreught out a lively debate. 
Brief talks were also given by 
Town Clerk Alfred S. Jewett and 
Kev. Clarence S. Pond, pastor of the 
Beverly Farms Baptist church. Re- 
grets were sent by Rev. A. E. Isaacs 
of Dorchester, J. Mott Hallowell of 
Boston, member of the League to En- 
force Peace and Roger W. Babson 
of Wellesley Fills. All cf the above 
were speakers at the Brotherhood 
meetings during the past season. 
Horace Atherton, clerk of the Essex 
County Probate Court, who was an- 
nounced as one of the speakers, was 
unable to be present 
Following the dinner the men ev. 
joyed a social period and a refreshing 
fruit punen prepared by | Clarence 
Morgan. This marks the last gath- 
ering of the Bretherhood until the 
cpening meeting for next season, 
which will be held Monday evening, 
September 17.
