Mr. Meade is spending a month in Germany making addresses at various places on the peace movement.

He says that while he finds the organized peace movement in Germany far behind that of the United States and Great Britain with regard to influence and resources, nevertheless he has been impressed by its' marked advance in educational cir-clfs. He attended the recent meeting of the council of international teachers' associations at Berlin and found that the German delegates representing teachers were not behind the American Hnd English delegates in their enthusiasm for the 'advancement of the cause of peace. It was also gratifying, l.u added, that the propaganda is gaining in force the universities of the Girman empire.

The day designated as "Gala day" was Thursday, the l'th, and the events of the day fully carried out the thought tuggested by the designation.

At an early hour it was evident that all roails lead Chelsea on that day and that traffic in the way of overland travel was toward the shire town and at noon there was an assemblage of people estimated fas high as three thousand. The event ot the day commenced promptly at 8:30 a. with a con jtert by the Chelsea brass band, 16 pieces, with Fred L.

headed by the band, marched to the Buck bridge and back to Church street and around the north common, Geo. L. Harvard acting as chief marshal with Hale Y. Mattoon end Will A. Reed as aids.

Many of the trimmed teams, floats and horribles brought eut deserved applause all along the line of march and the awarding of the prrcs, like those in the sports of the forenoon, gave general satisfaction. At 3:30 -p." Mattoon's park was covered with a sea of humanity which had assembled to enjoy the game of baseball between the Vershire team and the home team. The game, which was won by Chelsea, was dose all the way through. The gate receipts, which resulted from the passing of the hat, were j-hout thirty dollars.

At a meeting at the town hall, called for the purpose of deciding, if possible upon a site for the erection of the new sehool building, the matter of location w-s discussed by several of the taxpayers and those who were lilipral contributors to the fund, it 1 was finally decided to leave the matter the hands of the school directors to decide after thorough investigation between the site of the old academy, which burned about fifty years ago. and the ite where the present high school building now stands.

Is either several acres of land will have to be purchased or condemned for the purpose of securing ample grounds for a respectable campus. A vote taken nt this meeting for the purpose, of getting a public expression rs to where the new building should be built was four to one in favor of the site where the present building stands snd, following this, two gentlemen, who have a deep interest in this matter of the new school building, as well as their l.ative town, assured the building com-leittee that if land adjoining the site on which the present building stands were bought or condemned, that they would bring forward men who would pay for the same, which relieves the matter of expense for land for a cant-pus, provided the latter site is selected. Hale K. Darling presided at the meeting and among those of the non-residents, who took an active part were Charles I. Hood of Lowell.

Mar-3. Gould of Penacook, X. IL. Charles Corwin, Gen. Charles K.

Darling and Ililas E. Roberts of Boston. At 2:30 p. a large crowd had assembled at Mattoon's park to witness r. game of bali between the Brookfletd team and the local team.
