YE WITNESS DESCRIBES CHARGE OF FRENCH OVER 1000 YARDS OF TRENCHES

l'aris, April IS.—(11.20 A. M.).—A charge by a regiment ‘of French infantry over 1 a network of strongly fortified trenches which resulted in the gain of a thousand I yards at Bois Jaune Brules, near Mesnil L.e-Hurlus, is described by an eye wit ness in an official statement issued today by the war office. The French attack ras prepared by sappers who dug into |he first line of trenches and annihilated |he occupants with hand grenades. The Bs^jjree men who survived were made pris oners. •'The Germans, surprised, were unable to defend their front,” says the eye wit press, "and the French advance guard [was installed in the first line. A general ittack followed immediately. The fight ing was hand-tOrhand and few shots were Bred. The Germans scarcely were able to utilize their hand grenades and weri obliged to retire precipitately. “Pushing their advantage the Frencl infantry captured a strong redoubt ii the center of the woods. They thct pushed out to the right to broaden tin front captured. “The third regiment of the Prussiai guard offered a stubborn resistance, try ing to deceive the French by sendin: forward troops dressed in the burnoosi (woolen cloaks) or Moroccan riflemei taken front the dead. This ruse wa: discovered after a brief interval. Ma chine guns which were brought up ntowec down line after line of the advancin; Trussions until the ground was strewt with bodies. More than a third of thi soldiers in this regiment of the guarc were killed. The French losses were CO killed, including several tWlicers.'' SUIT OF WILLIAM BARNES AGAINST COL. ROOSEVELT BEGINS AT SYRACUSE TODAY f _ i Syracuse, X. Y.t April 18.—The trial |f the suit which William Barnes in stituted against Theodore Roosevelt, Claiming $50,000 damages for alleged |ibel, will begin in the supreme court |»ere tomorrow. The attorneys Ire ined by the principals in the action ei)X today putting the final touches their cases. Tonight, with Col. bsevelt on his way here from New York and Mr. Barnes on his way from Albany on board the same train, both «ides said they were ready. It was considered doubtful the jury would be iompleted tomorrow. Politics will enter the case when ;he first talesman is called for ex amination. The suit is based on a statement issued by Co. Roosevelt during the campaign last summer of Harvey D. Hinman for the Republican nomina :ion for governor of New York. In ;hat statement Col. Roosevelt refer red to Mr. Barnes as controlling, with Charles P. Murphy of Tammany Hall he All powerful invisible government which is responsible for mal-adminis tration and corruption in public offi ces of the state." The statement also contained other references to Mr Barnes as "a boss.” In his answer to the complaint. Col Roosevelt denied that by his issuance of this statement Mr. Barnes was damaged to the extent of $50,000 or any other sum. He says further that his motive in saying the things he did say was "In an endeavor as a citizen to advocate the cause of good, honest and efficient government in the state and without ma'ice expressed or im plied toward either the plaintiff or any other person. JOHN BUNNY SAID TO BE GETTING BETTER New York, April 18.—John Bunny, the moving picture comedian, who has been ill for more than three weeks, was said Saturday to have passed the crisis of his illness and to be on the way to recovery. Chinese Protest Against Japs Inciting Marauders On the Shantung Peninsula Pekin, April 19.—11.35 A. M.—Con sidering the fact that Japanese gave assistance to Dr. Sun Yat Sen in his rebellion against President Yuan Shi Kai and that Dr. Sun retired to To kiO' after the revolt was put down, the report is credited in official cir cles here that Hung-Hutze bands from South Manchuria, led by Jap anese are now marauding on the Shantung peninsula in the vicinity of Tsing-Tau, with banners inscribed “vanguard of the army against Yuan Shi Kai.” Protest Is Made The ChinesS? government lodged an other protest with Tokio Saturday re garding the reported movement of Jap i anse troops in Shantung, and also, !_ it is understood alleging that Japanese troops prevented Chinese troops from pursuing bands of brigands near Tsimo, neutral territory north of Tsing-Tau. Chinese government re ports are said to confirm the news paper accounts on an alleged agree ment between Dr. Sun and Japanese agents for Japanese support with money, and arms and men for an other revolution. Numerous execu tions in several centers, including Pe kin, of emissaries of Dr. Sun are now taking place the law in China not be ing sufficiently advanced to give these men fair trial. Little beyond the de nunciation of alleged offenders is necessary to bring about an execu tion. The attitude of the Japanese plen ipotentiaries at Saturday’s confer ence on Japanese demands to China has led Chinese officials to believe that Japan is marking time until the answer in the House of Commons by Sir Edward Grey of a series of ques tions put to him divulges Great Bri tain's attitude.^ A Russian Political Leader Says His Country Is Ready For War Lasting Two Years Home, April 18.—Via Paris, April 19—12.10 A. M.—The Sunday Messa gero publishes today a long interview had in Petrograd by its correspond ents with Prof. Paul N. Milukoff, lead er of the Constitutionalist Democratic party in the Russian Duma. Prof Milukoff said Russia was ready tc tight for one year, or two years, ii necesSary. The momentary success of the Germans diet not disturb Rus sia’s*j>atienc.e, as the people knew that this was a war of resistance and wparing down and that time was the l&st ally of Russia. .“The Russian'program, Prof. Milu koff continued, was liberty in the Black Sea. with fhe possession of the straits leading from it, evidently im plying that Russia purposed to occu py Constantinople in the event of the success of the Allies. A writter agreement in this smse, Milukoff said already had been concluded betweer Great Britain, France-and Russia. He was not sure whether'this agreemeni included the islands of Tenedos anc Imbros, which, according to the con ference of London in 191.3, it was de cided should belong to ihe power ir possession of the straits. Protection in Turkey i M. Milukoff said the many internation al interested centers in Constantinople would be protected by Russia. An inter national commission would solve th$ question of the Ottoman public debt. International commerce through the straits would he guaranteed even during war. The six vilayets comprising Ar menia would become autonomous, undei 1 the suseranty of Russia. Some persons 1 were advocating that Gilleia tne ancient i division of Asia Minor, bordering on tin Mediterranean and now belonging U the Turkish vilayet of Adana, be added to Armenia, thus giving Armenia ar opening on the Mediterranean with ports at Elxadretta. Milukoff expressed th the Greeks, and besides the coast of Asia Mil.or facing Mitylene and Chios. An other great Islamitic Empire was prob able under British rule, going from Egypt to India with the latter countrj the seat of the caliphate. The principle of nationalit, M. Milukofl continued would be strictly enforced al the end of the war concerning Austria Thus lie said Serbia would have Bosnia and Herzegovina with the Dalmatian coast south of the Xarenta river Crotia would be independant, with the Dalma tian coast north of the Xarenta rivei and Bohemia also independent while old Rumania territory would be added tc Rumania. Galicia he said would be annexed bj Russia to form part of Poland, whici would become autonomous, without dis cussion at the peace conference, because he said, the Polish nation was Russia’: internal question. Russia, he added, alsc would grant equal rights to the Jews although this step was much opposed, es pecially by the military party. Bugaria to Join M. Milukoff said he thought Bulgarit would join the Allies after having re ceived the same amount of money a: the loan she had contracted in Germany Russia, he declared, had offered to Bui garia that part of Macedonia which, ac cording to the Serb-Bulgarian treaty oi 1912, was assigned to her, and also thof other ships aiding ir getting her afloat was being made thand other structures the popula tion of Ypres almost daily under Ger man shell re seldom turn their eyes heavenward. So sated with war are all civilians that the graceful craft are unnoticed as they swerved, rose, cir cled and winged for advantage points. Broadly speaking, there has been no change in the British front since Nuevre Chapelle, trench warfare con tinuing along the whole line with only a few casualties here and there dally. The Associated Press correspondent spending spending the afternoon in the British trenches at Plogsteert, less than 100 yards from the German line found the contending armies compara tively inactive. The men, secure be hind ramparts of sand bags, merelj did some sniping occasionally and nov and then set loose a trench mortar. Peering through a periscope, the cor respondent could see no sign of livin( human being along the German line though now and then bullets whizzec from loop holes, passing close ove head or striking the sand bags with i vicious thud. No man dares show even the top o his head. The danger was emphasize! when the correspondent, thrusting tlv periscope higher than was necessary drew a bullet which seemed almost ti graze the instrument. Nearby stood i young British officer calmly firinf through a loop hole at an opening ii the rival trench, aiming, loading am Commenting on hits and misses, mucl as might a man at target practice. Monotonous Warfare This sort of thing has persisted to weeks and generally describes the con dition along the entire front. The no notony is relieved only by such dashe as those which took place at Neuvr Chapeile or the actions of the Frencl who are now engaged at certain ad vances. The artillery, both German and Eng lish, are keeping only a scattered fire shells criss-crossing and swishinj overhead at Intervals during the da; and night. At one point where the trenches ari less than 200 yards apart, the corres pondents saw three British shells fal in the German lines, one strikinj plumb in a trench and hurling debrt high into the air. The Germans latcl; are using less artillery than the Brit ish failing to reply even to persisten shelling except where from their man; observation posts they sight move meats io tbp British lines. j' i* ADMIRAL HOWARD y of Pacific Fleet Who Telegraphs Report on the Japanese Activities at Tur tle Bay ex-Provisional President of Mexico, de Clares in a statement published Saturday that he had never given Japan or an; other foreign government rights or con cessions on the coast of Lower California “While I was Constitutional Provision al President,” he said, “I did not maki any special treaties giving any natioi special rights in Mexico. Xo matter wha might have been the benefits that I migh have obtained for myself, I would neve have sold or have given away one incl of Mexican territory to any foreign na tion.” DIVISION OF LOSSES IN WAR British Sink a Torpedo boat but Lose a Sub marine in the Darda nelles Operations BRITISH AIRMEN ATTACK TURKS Drop Bombs on Camp— French Cruiser Shells Headquarters for an Invasion of Egypt London, April 18.—10.20 P. M.—The British as an offset to their successes in sinking a Turkish torpedoboat which attacked the transport Mani tou off Canchios yesterday lost the submarine E-15, which, while carry ing out a difficult reconnaissance in the Dardanelles mine field, ran ashore on Kephez point, the crew being made prisoners according to the Turkish report, seven of the crew are missing. British airmen have been dropping bombs on the Turkish encampment i near the border, while a French cruis er, the fire of which was directed by a seaplane, had been throwing shells on the Turks near El Arish, where the army for the invasion of Egypt has its headquarters. These opera tions were undertaken presumably to harass the Turks as the Turks have not' shown' any intention of attack ing the British since their last re pulse along the canal. Carpathian Battle In the Carpathians there has been fighting, but no battle to be compared with those which the arrival of spring brought to a close. The Austrians officially report that 1 they have repulsed Russian attacks l to the southeast of Lupkow pass, in flicting heavy losses on their adver saries, but elsewhere comparative calm prevails. The French again have been active in the Vosges, cap turing an important height near Met zeral. The British, too, have attack ed the Germans in the neighborhood of Ypres, where fighting was still in progress when the last report was dispatched. It is again stated that the German efforts to bring about an accord be tween Austria and Italy have failed, a report, which, if confirmed, is like ly to magnify in the eyes of the Ital 1 ians the frontier incident which oc curred yesterday. According to the latest reports, the Austrians, who were passing over Italian territory, actu ally fired upon Italian troops who re pulsed them, and in turn penetrated into Austrian territory. The sinking of the Greek steamer Ellispontos by a submarine off the Dutch coast is likely to bring about some friction between the Greek and German governments. The Ellispon tos was destroyed while on a voyage from Ymuiden, Holland, to Monteve deo, in ballast. 3 DEACONS AND THREE ELDERS ORDAINED AT I CONFERENCE Dover, Me., April 18.—Thirteen dea cons and three elders were ordained i today at the East Maine Conference I session.

ABOLISH BLUE MONDAY The Journal Will Do It With the j V I J Tested and Approved by the Good Jjr Housekeeping Institute Conducted by Good Housekeeping Magazine Read What We Have to Says You can save many dollars in a year on your clothes and add a day of pleasure to your life each week with this wonderful Rapid Vacuum Clothes Washer, by cutting your laundry work in two. Most clothes are RUBBED OUT and not WORN OUT. When you send your clothes to the laundry what happens to them? They are soaped and beaten, and rubbed so that the hot soap-suds (sometimes a little acid added) is forced through and through the goods. This cleans the goods, but they do not last long. When your clothes are washed in your own home what happens? The hot soapy suds are pushed in and out of the gar ments, as they are rubbed on the board. This cleans them, but wears them out. In every process of washing, soap and water are the only elements having any cleaning properties. When your clothes are washed with the Rapid Vacuum Washer what happens? Gallons of soapy water at boiling temperature (which sterilize the clothes) are forced through the goods every 60 seconds. This cleans your clothes snowy white without straining a thread. You can now wash woolens, Blankets, sheets, shirts, collars, bed quilts, etc., at home, and after washing the articles will be whiter, softer, cleaner, fluffier and more beautiful in appearance than before. Compressed air, hot water and soap does the work. You can wash a tubful of dirty clothes in five minutes without rub bing, without bonding, and with va^jy little work. A tubful of clothes can be rinsed and blued in the same way in one minute. You can clean anything that can.be cleaned with soap and water or gasoline in a few minutes, wfthout'.'straining a thread. No more rough hands and fcred backs for the person who does the washing. The Vacuum Washer has no movable parts, cannot get out of order and with proper care will last, for years. Wash-Day No Longer a Day of Dread. DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATION Have your water hot, the hotter the better. Add sufficient soap and see that it is thoroughly dissolved before putting in the clothes, as hot water without soap will set the dirt. Use enough hot water to float the clothes, then operate the plunger up and down, each time a gallon or more of hot suds is forced through the fabrics, and the same amount is drawn back on the upward stroke. This suction force is produced by an automatic suction valve, which is a distinct and original feature of our invention. During five or ten minutes which is required to do a washings many hundred gallons of hot, soapy water are forced through the clothes, which cleans thorn in a more perfect manner than any other process and with absolutely no wear or tear. This is the secret of the success of this Rapid Vacuum Clothes Washer. If you do ycur own washing, it will save you time, strength and temper. If. you send your washing out, we know that you are not satisfied, as your clothes are worn and eaten with the strong wash ing compounds used by laundries.

Dinner was served at 7 in the State of Maine room followed by remarks from Frederic H. Curtis, Federal Re serve agent, and Charles A. Morse, di rector of the Boston Federal Reserve bank, on the subject of the Federal Reserve banking law. The principal address of the even ing was delivered by Alfred I. Aikens, governor of the Federal Reserve bank at Boston. Mr. Aikens gave a detailed, exhaustive and highly technical ac count of the Federal Reserve bank and in his opening said: "The reserve banks or central banks of any country are primarily banks of rediscount: banks to which other banks can go for the prompt and cer tain liquidation of assets which they have in their vaults, go that they can be made immediately available, either in the form of cash of credit, to meet the necessities and demands whether in the way of loans for customers or withdrawals of deposits of affiliated banks. "This is the primary function of re serve banks in every country and it is the primary function of the Federal Reserve banks as well. This practice of rediscounting has resulted in tha establishments of certain standards as to paper which should be acceptable io the reserve banks for rediscounts for its banking customers. The problem being a new one here necessitated at first the adoption of certain arbitrary standards which were drawn from the general banking practices of the coun try and not from any experience which we had had with the rediscount busi ness.” The speaker told in detail the work ings of the Federal Reserve board and i laid particular emphasis on the fact that there is no red tape connected with it. Referring to the operation in Maine Mr. Aikens said: “According to the last statement to the comptroller, the Maine banks were borrowing of their city correspondents i something over a half million dollars, i I wish that we might have had this in order to have established business relations with you and to have had an opportunity to demonstrate that this business can be handled as easily and promptly with us as with any bank. Mr. Aikens said that in times of great financial ease, the Federal Re serve banks will be to a considerable I extent out of the market for the rea son that the Reserve bank rate would I probably not be as low as the mini mum discount rate _on_the_state^_H^ FOR SALE—REAL ESTATE Equipped Village Farm Only i mile to village adv.; mills anc shops, 4 miles to State Normal Schoc. or one of the best roads in the State wherseot 1AM a j. sewAi.u Osa. __ Bhsspseot M0 WiacMsst .J

A notorious criminal case, fresh in the minds of the people of Maine and particularly to the citizens of Augusta, brings home to thinking men, to the courts and to civic officials, the ne cessity for a better system of control over an element with criminal lean ings which is a standing menace to the public and often an intermittent nightmare. That a man, more es pecially a young man of criminal ten dencies or of degenerate inclinations, should be dropped by the State the moment he has served sentence for a crime, to become, all too often, an unemployed and mischief-studying member of society, and burden upon the public, is one of the evils in our handling of a dangerous social ele ment. In the case in mind, a young man has been repeatedly given short sentences to State prison with the hope that such temporary protection of society would prove of salutary ef fect upon his mind and habits, and that when given his freedom he would become a useful member of society. This is a false hope and, in a very large percentage of cases, a serious mistake, both for the criminal and the public. When a man is given a suit of clothes and dumped upon society without money and without friends who are deeply interested in him. and, as quite common, his only friends of an indifferent type if not of a low or der, he stands small show of getting desirable employment or of falling in with a class of people who will be up lifting to him. Such a man becomes a direct and constant menace to the community of which he becomes a unit. An idle mind and body of evil predilections is a growing danger and not a receding one. Our point is this, that when the court sentences a young man of such tendencies, for the protection of so ciety and for the effect of such pun ishment upon that element of society, it should make as a part of that sen tence the continuous control and direc tion by the court of such criminal for a period of two years at least after the expiration of his imprisonment. In such term of State control some bu reau or State institution should see that the paroled prison is under con stant supervision, and provide tha*. he is properly employed and has op portunity to make good instead of making bad. If, in such period of oversight, the released prisoner should thow a desire and determination to live a good and useful life, then he should be finally released and made a free citizen of society. If, on the con trary, he showed a disposition not to work and to indulge his mind in their known evil tendencies, then the court should have redisposition of his case and commit him to the care of some reformatory institution, that such tendencies be restrained, and the public protected from the probablo consequences of turning such a man loose upon the world. We believe the State owes it to it self and the person sentenced to so provide for his future on leaving prison that he will have something else to do than invent deviltry. The State that has taken a bad mind in charge should see to it that a helping hand is extended rather than the pres ent customary ostracism that drives the unfortunate to discouragement and further crime. What Is “Freedom”? “We are the freshest people on earth," declares Professor Lasson, and no dcubt his view is the prevailing view in Germany. A good deal of non sense, in fact, has been written about tile supposed enslavement of the Ger mans and the need of emancipating them. Germans themselves had a si milar delusion about Alsace and Lor raine in 1*70, and it was a bitter dis appointment to find that they were not welcomed as deliverers from the French yoke. When any people has the gov ernment it wants it is free; when any other government is forced upon it freedom is lacking, even if the fran chise is granted. An autocrat, Mr. Dooley has wisely-'said, is a ruler that docs what the people want an' takes the blame f'r it; “A constitootional ix lcutive. Hinnisy. is a ruler that does as he damned pleases an' blames the peo ple"—Springfield Republican. Our exchange also remarks that free dom after all is a matter of point of view; that the German accepts all the petty regulation of private affairs as a matter of course, while an American would find them intolerable. But, when the German comes to this coun try and learns that in some states not even his lager beer is allowed in traffic he rails at our boasted "freedom." He dees not in the least object to laws which forbid the adulteration of the food he eats or the clothing he wears, for these seem to him only an exten sion of laws against stealing and us ing false weights. But laws which regulate his private conduct at points dom he resent* emphatically. He feels freest in Germany Just as an English man does in England, because the kind of liberty he enjoys there is the kind of liberty to which he is accustomed. To a savage clothing is a torture; the civilized man is not conscious of his clothes. What kind of liberty is best is a question about which philosophers and scientists can dispute endlessly but when any people has the kind it wants, or (as in Germany) has reconciled it self to the.kind it has, outsiders have no reason to meddle. As a matter of fact we are free rela tively and so are the people of other nations. Undoubtedly Germany would be better oft in this generation and im measureably so in the next, if she would halt her beer traffic; as we would be better off in this and coming generations if we would adopt some of the German regulations which we, as a people, scoff at. If you should ask why?" we would suggest that you read Mabel Potter Daggett’s article in Pictorial Review for May. Here is an excerpt: Do you know why, O my countrywo man, the dust is deep on your mahog I any and mine? Why our curtains won't keep clean-’ A little while ago an uncovered ash-cart came down West Twenty-first Street here outside my windows. In almost any city of the L'nited States, you may see one, too, coming down your street. The contents of the ash-can that has been standing for two hours uncovered be fore this apartment house, were dumped onto the cart. The cloud of ashes that arose, settled in thick clouds, some if it on pedestrians unable to escape it as they scuttled by. Some of it floated into this room. Some of it lodged on the rcof and cornices of the building, later to be deposited in here on my desk, on my blouse, on me, as soon as the next passing breeze can bring it. There are miles of uncovered ash-cans like that in the dusty streets of the city this morning, waiting to be dumped onto uncovered carts, later to be dumped onto uncovered scows which will finally be dumped at the Island where the metropolis deposits such of its ashes as have not been scattered to the four winds of Man hattan on the way there. The Declara tion of Independence ought to have had a clause against such an infringe ment of the rights of housewives in a land so conspicuously devoted to lib erty. Rut it was omitted. And following the ash-cart out here in my street, there is worse. After a while comes along the uncovered gar bage cart and collects the contents of a waiting garbage can. How long it waits, depends somewhat on the lo cality in which you live and the rent you pay. It waits even if you live on Riverside Drive. Here on the lower west side, it waits, say, two or three hours. Rut on the east side, the gar bage cans wait twelve hours, fourteen, eighteen hours. And even if the covers weren't lost, they couldn’t be crowded on to those overflowing receptacles, the contents of which topple off and ooze out onto the sidewalks and pave ments in a slime that the innumerable babies of the quarter play in and ihe sun shines on in a truly sickening heat, that has started more than one epi demic of disease. This, of course, isn’t in our best districts. Rut nevertheless the epidemics that start on the east Side never stop there. Neither do me flies. They are breeding by the billions in the garbage that’s waiting along the curb and in the garbage that’s wafted by my windows. Why, the housewives in Berlin where Rosika Von Hoffmann lives, would rise in riot at any thing approximating such a menace to their peace of mind. And the reserves in the shining hel mets would be rushed from the near est police staticn to their aid. Listen! It sounds so much like a fairytale that I I hesitate to tell it. But truly; last Summer, when I was Frau Von Hoff mann's guest, as we were drinking af ternoon coffee in her immaculate Wohnzimmer, or living-room, there alighted on the sill of the window by which I sat, one small winged insect. In the greatest excitement, Frau Von Hoffmann drew closer to examine it more critically. "It is, it is," she ex claimed, a fly. Ludwig, Ludwig," sl.e called to her little son. "come and see." And Ludwig gazed gravely as at a strange animal. I think it must have been the only fly out of captivity in all Germany. It certainly was the only one I saw dur ing a sojourn of several weeks. Ilagen beck's wonderful zoo up there at Ham burg might have had a few. But most of the rest, it would seem, were over here in the United States. The muni cipal fly catcher in a certain Califor nia city, you remember, made a bril liant record in our swat-the-fly" cam paign with a catch of seven hundred and fifty thousand in six weeks. We have not yet pot our flag for our Patriot's day demonstration, but we shall write a patriotic poem, anyhow, and take a chance on the flag.—Pats ana Knocks in Portland Press. Say, if we'll send you a flag, will you let up on that determination to write a poem? While hating to be held up in this manner, we feel that there is in this connection a duty to the public that can not be ignored.—Biddeford Journal. We will contribute a pole.—Boston Globe. Now, if somebody has a second-hand halyard which they would be willing to I contribute to a good cause, there is no good reason, aside from the tendency to persist which is a characteristic of some minds, why this menace to the public peace of mind may not be averted.—Bid deford Journal. Say, don't they have to step a flag pole in axlegrease or something? O, nothing in particular, only if they do we'll be glad to furnish a little of the aforementioned. ’Highland, 364, North Penobscot April 2 the program consisted of music, readings and a cracker con test. which was won by Edwin Soper.

Maine Gossip Be Careful What You Say. In speaking of a person's faults. Pray don't forget your own; Remember, those with homes of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do Than talk of those who sin, ‘Tis better to commence at home. And from that point begin. We have no right to judge a man Until he’s fairly tried. Should we not like his company, We know the world is wide. Some may have faults—and who have not, The old as well as young? Perhaps we may, for augnt we know, Have fifty to their one. I’ll tell you of a better plan— And find it works full well— To try my own defects to cure Ere others’ faults to tell; And though I sometime hope to be No worse than some I know. My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us all, when we begin To slander friend or foe, Think of the harm one word may do To those we little know; Remember curses, sometime, like Our chickens, “roost at home": Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. —Anonymous.

A Front street merchant who was i averse to April fool methods elimina ted a penny which was nailed to a j plank n front of his pface of business j to catch the innocent passerby on i April fool's day, relates the Richmond Bee. This was done before many had been caught by the joke. Thinking he would place it in an out of way nook where no one else would gee fooled on it, he took it home and nailed it olit in the shed. His thrifty wife who believes in pennies making the dollar espied the innocent cent and with several necessary tools to extricate the now held fast penny, she succeeded in freeing the prisoner and is at present that much richer in worldly possessions. We learn that this is not the first time she has res cued a little penny from exile. Mariaville, 441. April 10 the third and fourth de grees were given, followed by a har vest supper.

He has signed with the Toronto club of tile International League and joined the team at Dur ham, N. C. The St. Louis papers state that Branch Rickey is going to make a big cut in the squad to be carried by the Browns; that he will not have more than 22 men after the cutting opera tion, and that Bobbie Wallace, who has been with the club 13 years, may be dropped, especially as he is being paid a big salary and has not been playing much in the past year or so.

DlftlGo ROAD—About fifteen mem bers of the Plains Sunday School met at the home of the superintendent, Miss Morrell, Thursday evening, where a very profitable business meeting was held. Various things pertaining to the welfare of the school were discussed. It was voted to invite Mr. Linwood Jones from South China to conduct the Sunday afternoon meetings in the ab sence of the regular leader, Miss Cof fin. A short play to be presented by the young people of the Sunday school was selected. And finally it was voted to hold a combination box and neck tie social at the Plains schoolhouse, Wednesday evening, April 21, for the purpose of raising funds to provide the necessary supplies for the rapidly growing Sunday school. The plan of the social is for each lady to bring a box containing a home made necktie and lunch for two. She is to wear colors of the same goods as she made the necktie from. The boxes are to be sold at auction, but no box can bo bought for less than twenty cents. A cordial invitation is extended to all. “Wild Bill” Fleming writes to the Old Town Enterprise as follows: "As my friends and myself are not satisfied with the account the Bangor DaHy News gave of my last bout with Ernest McIntyre, in Bangor, I wish to state through the Enterprise that it was the "rawest” deal or decision that I have received since I fought Frank Loughery of Philadelphia, In Providence, R. I„ which ended in a riot when the referee gave the decision to Loughery. It was the unanimous opinion of all pres ent in Bangor that I had the best of every round. The News even failed to state that I nearly knocked McIntyre out In the sixth round. McIntyre must have been surprised when he read the account in the News. The Boston papers gave me the decision which belonged to me, and if we meet again I think the News will have a different story to tell.” GERMAN MEETING HELD AT PORTLAND Many new ideas were given the peo ple of Portland by the speakers at Saturday evening's meeting in City hail at which under the auspices of the German-American Alliance speakers undertook to give the German side of the matter. There has never been a better audi ence in this city, it was not large, there being not more than 700 people hi the hall, but for quality ana tone it has never been equalled and never excelled. The people there were the thinking people of Portland. They were not all on one side by any manner of means. George Sylvester Vierick, edi tor of "Fatherland," who rubbed it into this country and the present ad ministration of the state department, also into Col. Theodore Roosevelt, whom he termed an epidemic, like the measles, was interrupted by several men and at the end of the speech-mak ing there was a sort of heckling ses sion in which questions were asked and answered by the two speakers, after a fashion. On tlie stage were Henry G. Beyer, Jr., J. C. Mangold, Charles W. Cordes of this city and the two speakers of the evening, Dr. Edmund Von Marx of Harvard and Mr. Vierick, editor of the Fatherland. Mr. Beyer opened the meeting by thanking the people for the good at tendance and their evident interest in the cause which was represented. He said: We welcome this mighty audience. You are the Supreme Court of Civilization, the listening neutrals. At the end of the war 1 hope it will be part of my pride as an American citizen to find that my country has brought to Europe the peace which alone can give life to civilization. We have so far not put a price on our neutrality nor sold our honor for expec tation of gain. For this 1 am proud ot my country. But, when war broke out, this country turned against Germany. The case against her was overwhelming. England then had control of every news channel. The great German nation were bar barians, her soldiers butchers, her rulers, Huns with Attilla himself at the head. I have asked myself a thousand times why this Nation, with its world-wide fame for fairness should be so biased. It seems as though destiny itself had saved us from the war so that we might undertake the gigantic task of arbitra tion. And thus I hoped that our Nation would suspend judgment until it had heard both sides. Why could we not wait and meet our duty to civilization, not filled with malice, not with a pre conceived verdict of condemnation in out hearts; but with solemn hope that we might meet the task before us, be equal to it, and not be found wanting? Anri so I now confess that I began to doubl our nation’s fitness to fulfill this destiny or to be equal to its duty. This audience is a rebuke to my fears. You have come in the American spirit of fairness. You have come to hear Ger many's viewpoint discussed. You me&r to be equal to your duty to civilization. 1 thank you. Reads Statement Dr. Bcrnharfl Dernberg, who was tc have been present to speak with au thority for the German government with respect to the peace terms, was not able to come owing to the serious illness of his wife. He sent a statement which was road by Henry G. Beyer Jr., and of which the portion dealing with the peace propositions and Ger man? aims and intentions is as fol lows: Ritz Carlton Hotel. New York, April 16th, 1915. My dear Mr. Beyer: It is with infinite regret that at so late an hour I feel, for reasons which I have explained to you and which center around the precarious state of health of Mrs. Dernburg, that I shall not be able to keep my appointment to tall: to your friends in Maine on the all pervading question of the present troubled state of the world and its probable solution. You will do me a favor by express ing my excuses to such of your coun trymen, who have come to hear me, cither by reading to them this letter at your meeting or by giving it such publicity as you see fit, stating at the same time that I most sincerely hope to yet have the advantage during th° Spring of personally excusing myself and to enter into a discussion, which I feel cannot but be highly beneficial. I have set out, in the paper I sent you, what I believe to be the view points of the various factions at war, trying to be impartial, and so far as my German nationality permits me ti show, without bias, the aims and am bitions of the warring powers, which they think justified by their position and history. I reserved for my address to say what I believe would be an equitable solution. 1 have not done that so far, but will do so now as a mark of respect to you and your friends, who have worked so hard to have the people of Maine acquainted with the salient point of the issue. (1) Whatever peace is concluded, should be of a permanent nature, no perfunctory patching-up should be permitted. The horror of all the civi lized nations of the old world slaugh tering one another, everyone convinced of the perfect righteousness of their own cause. A recurrence if it could not be avoided absolutely—should be made most remote, so as to take the weight from our minds that all this young blood of the best manhood ol Europe might be spilled in vain. (2) For this purpose it must be borne in mind that the world ha^ changed considerably since the last big conflagration and that all the countries striving for humanity and civilization are now one big family, i with interests spiritual as well as com mercial interlocking to a degree that no disturbance of any part of the civ ilized globe can exist without seriously affecting the rest. A disturbance in one quarter must make quite innocent bystanders involuntary victims to the serious detriment of spiritual peace and commercial pursuits. The great highway, on which thoughts and things travel are the high seas. I car with full authority disclaim any ambi tion by my country as to world domin ion. She is much too modest on the one and too experienced„°n^the-otlupi HENRY G. BEYER, JR. Of Portland. Who Presided at Portland Pro-German Meeting. hand not to know that such a state will never be tolerated by the rest. Events have shown that world domin ion can only be practiced by dominion of the high seas; the aim of Germany is to have the seas as well as the nar rows kept permanently open for the free use of all nations in times of war as well as in times of peace. The sea is nobody’s property and must be free to everybody. The seas are the lung3, from which humanity draws a fresh breath of enterprise and they must not be stopped up. I personally would not even go so far as to neutralize all the seas and narrows permanently by a common and effective agreement guaranteed by all the powers, so that any infringement on that score would meet with the most severe punishment that can be meted out to any trans gressor. (3) A free sea is useless, except combined with the freedom of cable and mail communication w'ith all countries, whether belligerent or not. I should like to see all the cable joint ly owned by the interested nations and a world mail system over-sea es tablished by common consent. But more than this, an open sea demands an open door policy. This means that while every nation must have the right for commercial and fiscal pur poses to impose whatever duties it thinks fit, these duties must be equal for all exports and imports for what ever destination or from whatever source. It would be tantamount to world empire in fact, if a country own ing a large part of the globe could make discriminating duties between the motherland and dominions of col onies as against other nations. This has been of late the British practice, German colonies have always been open to every comer, including the motherland on equal terms. Such equality of treatment should be the established practice for all the future. The only alternative to an open sea and free intercourse policy would be a Chinese wall around each country, j If there is no free intercourse, every j country must become self-sufficient. Germany has proven that it can be done. But this policy would mean very j high customs harriers, discrimination, unbounded egotism and a world brid ling in arms. While the free sea pol icy stands for the true aims of inter national relations, namely, in exchange of goods, which must benefit either party, to be mutually satisfactory, it will engender friendly feeling among all the peoples, advance civilization and thereby have a sure tendency to ward disarmament. (1) Germany has been taxed with disregarding treaty obligations, tear ing up as a scrap of paper a solemn engagement of international character, regarding Belgium. I have the less reason to enter into this matter since —if it was a breach of international law at all—it has been followed up by all other belligerents by destroying other parts of that code so essential tc the welfare of the community of na tions. Two German men-of-war have been destroyed in neutral waters. The protests that the government of this country had to make against Groat Britain's treatment of international sea law and the rights of the neutrals are too numerous to be recounted. Chinese neutrality has been violated In the grossest way. in disregard ol all conventions China is now being subjected to demands Incompatible with the rights of a self-respecting na tion. Egypt and Cyprus have been an nexed by Great Britain, disregarding all treaties. Germany’s diplomatic rep resentatives have been driven .froni China, Morocco and Egypt, all coun tries sovereign at the time. The Dec laration of London, which has been set up by the government of the Unit ed States, as tho government docu ment, had to be dropped as such There is practically no. part of inter national law that could stand the test. Justice towards neutrals compels that international law* should be re-estab lished in a codified form with suffi cient guarantees, so as to save as fai as possible, all the neutrals from pos sible implication in a war, in whicS they do not take part. (5) Germany does not strive foi territorial aggrandizement in Europe; she does not believe in conquering anc subjugating unwilling nations, this or account of a spirit of justice and hei knowledge of history. No such at tempts have ever been permanentlj successful. Belgium commands th« main outlet of Western German trade is the natural foreland of the empire and has been conquered with untolc sacrifice of blood and treasure. It of fers to German trade the only outlet to an open sea and it has been po litically established, maintained an«i defended by England in order to keej these natural advantages from Ger Tnany. The love for small peoples that England heralds now will never stanc investigation, as shown by the de struction of the small Boer Republics So Belgium cannot be given up. How ever, these considerations could b< disregarded if all the other Germat demands, especially a guaranteed fre» sea, were fully complied with arLd th« natural commercial relations at Bel glum to Germany was considered in a just and workable form. In this case Germany will not fail, when the time comes to help rebuilding the country, in fact, she is doing so now. Germany is a country smaller in size than California, but populated 36 times as thickly as that State. She loves and fosters family life and sees her future in the raising of large, families of healthy children under the home roof and under the national, flag. German parents have no desire to ex patriate every year a considerable' number of their children. This im plies that her industrial development, which -would alone give occupation to the yearly increase of pretty nearly a million people should go on unham pered. The activity of her people should have an outlet in the develop ment of such foreign parts as need or wish for development. Great Britain has shown very little foresight in constantly blocking such efforts, playing Morocco into the hands of France, a nation that remained stationary for 44 years with little more than half of the population of Ger many and with a system equally un dermining religion and morality in keeping families small for the sake of worldly comforts. England further more constantly obstructed the Ger man endeavor to reclaim for the bene fit of all the world the granary in Mesopotamia. A permanent peace will mean that this German activity must get a wide scope without In fringement upon the rights of others. Germany should be encouraged to con tinue her activities to Afridb and Asia Minor, which can only result in per manent benefit to all the world. Amer icans have a saying "that it will never do good to sit on a safety valve." There is nothing in the program of my country which would not bo bene ficial to the rest of the world, espe cially the United States. That this is so the events of the last months have conclusively shown and a better appreciation of what Germany really stands for, has recently taken place. So if I plead the cause of my country. I am not pleading as a German alone, but as a citizen of a country who wash es to be a useful and true member of the universality of nations contribut ing by humanitarian aims and by the enhancement of personal freedom to the happiness of even the lowliest members of the great world communi ty. I am proud to say that I cannot only give this assurance, but produce facts and I beg to refer to the modern sys tem of social reforms, which Germany inaugurated and carries through at an expense which is every year larger by cne-half than the expense of the mili tary system. The brunt of this war has not been borne by the men who fight but by the women who suffer, and it will be one of the proudest and most coveted achievement that Germany will gain in rewarding in a dignified and per manently beneficial way the enormous sacrifices of womanhood and to alle viate to the extent of the possible the hardship and sorrow that this war has brought upon them. This letter is rather longer than I can expect you to patiently peruse, but my excuse for this is firstly the vast field of the subject, and secondly my respect of the people I address, who cannot be satisfied without a full and, as I believe, perfectly sincere state ment of the true position of Germany. Very respectfully yours, (Sd) DR. DERXBURG. Edmund von Marx Edmund von Marx of Harvard was the first speaker of the evening. He devoted himself to a discussion of the peace proposals of Dr. Dernburg devoting most of his argument to the free sea propo sition. He said that unfortunately this country has been misled by a designing group of men In England who do not truly represent that nation but who being In control are able to set forth what they desire of the situation and to suppress the rest. The free sea proposition Is no new thing. The United States has stood for it from the very first and has been opposed by England at every turn. The speaker then gave from documents in his possession many statements to show that the war was forced upon Ger many, that English officers on leave in this country were recalled to duty in for eign service as early as mid July, that British and Belgians were in close con sultation as early as mid July, that the war news service was garbled to fit the purposes of the British war office and also that the foreign office misquoted and changed matter in order to carry their point. George Sylvester Vierick The second speaker was Mr. Vierick, who began his address by declaring that the interests of the United States were identical with those of Germany, not those of England, but that there was even before the war started a strong anti German feeling in this country. He de clared that this was fostered by garbled news sent from British sources and that even now this country is suffering front the machinations of England. The Eng lish blockade of New York Is more effec tive than that of Hamburg, he said, and every section of the country has come to feel the hand of British oppression. Mr. Vierick then charged that Eng land has broken up all of our plans for South American trade, our proposed China trade and our merchant marine. He declared that the President could handle this entire situation and could stop all the English outrages to our flag and to our people, our malls and our ca bles, but that thus far he had compla cently ignored everything or every claim. 7"Hfr 4 l Increased Bales for over forty years tells Its own Btory.

Women like these were the shapers and inspirers of the earlier institutions of our State. In the quiet of her own home—the blessed sanctuary of the loving heart— and in the neighborhood and city, the saintly woman demonstrated in a quiet manner the beauty and value of the Christian character. Those who knew her well will long remember how her sweet face would light up with a benign ant smile when conversing on subjects near to her heart, and how there never escaped from those now silent lips a word of censure. Her words and ways were those of peace and good-will. She was converted early in life and joined the Methodist church, and if the belief of a great portion in that large church in sanctification Is true, she was truly sanctified. The heaven of joy and peace and bliss into which she has entered had for her no surprises, for that permeated every act of her life and bore constant testimony to the reality of Christian ex perience. AMUSEMENTS OPERA HOUSE. Fhcto Film Play. ‘‘The Thief,” Fea turing Dorothy Donnelly and An All Star Cast. Monday and Tuesday afternoon and evening a special feature, “The Thief,” will be at the top of an excellent movie program. Dorothy Donnelly, the famous actress, stars in the above film masterpiece. Henri Bernstein has written many good plays. Amongst them all "The Thief stands pre-eminent. It is his supreme success. The plot may be told in a few words. The heroine, a young woman of weak character but with an infinite capacity for love, has centered her affections upon a man of social position. Without beauty or wealth she has no means of attracting his attention and so, in order to make herself desirable in his eyes, she steals large sums of money from her friends with which she buys beautiful clothes. Her speculations are discov ered and attributed to a young man who, knowing the truth, remains silent to shield her. That very love however, which at first led her astray lias ennobled and strengthened her character, and in the wonderfully dra matic climax she confesses her guilt.
