rpm Board of Aldermen Re fuses to Accept Reg ular Firemen Bath. Me., May f,.—Bath was left tonight without any organized pro tection from fire for a period of at lean seven days. The situation was brought about when the board of al dermen refused to accept the list of regular firemen who struck for more j I’fcy last duly, and when Mayor John A. Small vetoed the list of rolunteer firemen who have been serving since that time. No further action can bo taken until the meeting of the board nest week. The regular firemen who are cal] men struck fr»r an increase in pay from S;>0 a year to $75. Volunteers then took their places at the old rate of pay, although it was claimed at the meeting tonight that the regular call men have helped the new mem hers Mayor Small instructed the chief of the fire department to con for with the regular firemen and have them respond to a second alarm in i the event of a fire.

HISLER Contention of Mrs. Hisl er’s Attorney After the Confession Testi mony Is Admitted Wiscasset, Me., May 5.—Conten tions that Fred T. Hisler died a nat ural death and that the blow on th right temple said to have been it dieted by his wife who is on trial the supreme court on a murdc charge could not possibly have causes death by concussion were made by Andrew C. Halpen in his opening statement for the defence late today. The confession with a number of witnesses for the State testified today was made by Mrs. Hisler that she killed her husband with a jHece of stove wood, was obtained by undue influence and was not a voluntary confession that could be used as evi dence. according to the prisoner's counsel. I)r. G. L. Crockett of Thomaston and Dr. Bernard Bailey of TViscasset. the first of eleven witnesses called for the defence gave testimony contradic tory to that of the state's medical witness. Dr. Bailey who stated that he had conducted several hundred autopsies testified that he firmly be

lieved Hisler died of convulsions. The case is expected to reach the jury late tomorrow. Admits Testimony Associate Justice George E. Bird today decided to admit, subject to counsel’s exceptions, the testimony on confession, alleged to have been made by Mrs. Hisler. that she killed her husband with a blow on the head at Somerville, on February T. Counsel for the accused had argued that it was not admissible on the grounds that her constitutional rights were not preserved and that she was not mentally competent to have made a confession that could be admitted as evidence. Peter Hisler. her husband’s father, in w hose charge she was placed by town officials after the death of her husband, was the ^Irsi witness. Mrs. Hisler was said to have sent for Se lectmen Byron a ad Edwin French and made the alleged confession to them at his advice. Peter G, Hisler The first witness called by the Stale this morning after the trial was re sumed before the jury was Henry G. Hisler, more commonly known as Peter Gorham Hisler who was FTed Hisler's uncle and stepfather. He was questioned about the statements M’"s. Eugenia Hisler made to him, Att* nev Halpen for the defense objecting, contending that the defendant was ai Peter Hisler's house, had been placed under him as keeper and that the confession was induced by threats or promises. Judge Bird said there was nothing to show that the confession was not voluntary and admitted the evidence, stating that he would te verse his decision if anything was in troduced indicating that the confes sion was not voluntary, Peter Hisler said: “She told me he went up on the mountain to see Maud Dyer and he’d been going several times and she decided to stop it. She said to me, ‘What would you do if you were in my circumstance,' and I said ‘If 1 killed him I'd own it.’ I asked her. ‘Did you kill Fred?' and she said, ‘Yes, 1 did. I struck him over the head with a stick of wood. He was lying on the floor where he had been planing with his back to the stove and 1 hit him over the head with a stick of wood and he never breathed once. I went out and hollered and Byron and Ed French came.' 1 asked her if she would tell that to Bvron and Ed French and she said, ‘Wait a little while; let me sider.’ Mr. Hisler slated that later she went for the Frenches and they came and when they entered the door she shook hands with them and said, ‘‘I've conclud ed to tell you the truth about this. I did kill him.” So far as he knew, neither of the Frenches had talked to her previously about a confession. On cross-examination he was asked if he told the respondent she’d better con fess and insisted that he told her if she did it it would be better for her to own up. He- couldn't remember whether the confession was made before or after a paper was passed around petitioning the selectmen of Somerville to do something In this case. He couldn't remember just when Byron and Ed French had been to the house, but said they had been there recently and asked him how Mrs. Fred Hisler was getting along. Attorney Halpen brought out the fact that Peter Hisler had been placed as a i keeper over Mrs. Fred Hisler by the se lectmen. Named Mrs. Hisler The confession, Peter said, was made ibout 10 o'clock in the forenoon but the (Conliituatf on Page 16—Column 4} I Germans Attack Hill 60 and Use Poisonous Gases London, May 5.—10.02 P.

"Fighting is in progress on Hill No. 60 southeast of Ypres. on which the Germans attacked a footing this morning under cover of poi sonous gases, which were exces sively used and were favored by weather conditions. "A feeble attack, aiso preceded by an extensive use of poisonous gases, was made east of Ypres and was easily repulsed, our artillery inflicting severe losses on the en emy.

A late report from the British war' office also says that the German at tacks were repulsed, although the Germans used asphyxiating gases and did gain a footing by the use of these fumes on hill No. 60, southeast of Tpres, which, since the British cap (Continued on Page 10—Column 2) THE WEATHER FAIR Washington, May 5.—The weather forecast for northern New England is fair for Thursday and Friday.

M.— The deliberations between the Japanese officials concerning the situation between Japan and China continue. The emperor will preside tomorrow at a cab inet council. No official an nouncement was forthcoming today concerning the situation. A big fleet of warships is taking on supplies at Sazbo, the Japanese in the province of Shantung are concentrating at' Tsingtao, and those in Manchu ria are preparing to take refuge in the railway zone.

ROOSEVELT TELLS OF CONVERSATIONS WITH WM. BARNES Syracuse. X. Y., May 5.—The ethics of boss rule and machine politics as Theodore Roosevelt claims they were expounded by William Barnes, who is suing Col. Roosevelt for damages for alleged libel, were related by the former President upon the witness stand in the supreme court late to day. The Colonel swore that Mr. Barnes had told him that the “Riff raff” could not be trusted to handle political affairs without a leader, and had expressed himself as being in favor of the Democratic and Repub lic organizations combining to defeat legislation providing for direct pri maries. the end of a day congested with testi- mony about public printing and public money. He related what he alleged to be the substance of conversations he had with the former chairman of the Repub lican state committee over a period last ing from 1888 until he left the White House. He told his story with all the forcefulness at his command. In part it follows: “Mr. Barnes and I had many conversa tions upon the nature of the boss and the domination of the machine. There was more than one conversation concern ing the franchise tax bill. There were some before Fayn was removed; they were in the spring of 1898 and again in the j beginning of 1900. These conversations were upon the power of and the necessity for the machine under our system of party government. “Nearly always our conversations were held in the executive mansion at Albany. We were entirely alone. Others were held in the governor's and the secretary’s chamber in the executive office In the capitoL (Cor tin usd on Paso ID Column 4} J POTATO HOUSE IN AUGUSTA Virtually an Assured Fact Is Information Secured from Lowell Van Allen GRANTED SITE BY MAINE CENTRAL Long Sought by Augus ta Board of Trade and Farming Interests of This Section In the face of existing circumstan ces it would seem that things are surely coming Augusta’s way just at present, for right on top of the an nouncement by the Journal Wednes day morning of the good news that the hoped-for new shoe factory was practically an assured fact comes an other bit of news of the same kind, it being the announcement that in all probability there will be erected in Augusta in the near future a potato house—something that the people of the city as w'ell as those living in the rural sections in the vicinity of Au gusta have desired for a long time Long Considered The building of a potato house has in the past been considered by the Augusta Board of Trade and also by individual citizens but has not beeu carried forward to the extent that it became a reality. Now however the movement has t aken a new start and has progressed to a point where a site for a proposed potato house has been secured, and this fact affords ample grounds for the belief that the struc ture will in due course of time be come a reality. It was learned Wednesday from Lowell Van Allen of the Coombs Mills road, the well-known Augusta potato buyer, who is now busy with the work of buying and shipping po tatoes to the Boston market, that the Maine Central Railroad had granted him a site for the proposed building, the site being not far from the east end of the old railroad bridge and near the siding which leads from the main line to the Gannett publishing house, and that while he could not at this time make a definite state ment as there were some details re maining to be settled, there was a strong probability that the potato house would be built. He further in timated that if his plans materialized the work of erecting the potato house would be commenced at an early date. The building if erected will be con nected with the main line of the rail road by a special spur track. Large Enough Regarding the size of the proposed building, Mr. Van Allen was net prepared to state, except that It would be large enough for the purposes required and would be so constructed as to protect its contents from the cold of the winter months and would also be so equipped that artificial beat could be furnished if required. He added, however, that these buildings were so constructed that not much heat was required to protect their contents from the cold. A well-known Augusta farmer who came here several years ago from Aroos took county, the home of the potato bouse, said last evening in speaking of the proposed action by Mr. Van Allen that it would be one of the biggest things that had been done in Augusta for years and would mean a boom to the city; that It would prove a great advan tage to the farmers of the city and of he outlying districts, as it would afford them a place to dispose of their pota toes and would put an end to the prac tice of peddling them from house to louse. He expressed himself as greatly pleased at the prospect and said that tt vould meet with the hearty approval of svery farmer In this vicinity, that t would the etta.

Crex Carpet Company New Yorl Originators of Wire-Grass Floor Coverings DESERT WASTE FROM LYCK TO THE BORDER War’s Devastation Strikingly Shown in East Prussian Towns. Torn and Shattered By Both German and Russian Fire—Rows of Trenches Tell of Desperate Struggle. i fAssociated Press Correspondence.) Lyck, East Prussia, April 5.—The de vastate n end destruction that have been visited upon all of eastern East Prussia cannot he more strikingly ap preciated than by a trip from this lit- tie town to Crajevo, a few miles acruas 1 the border. The trip supplies a remarkable sc-r- its of contrasts that arc- fundamental and far-reaching. Black is no more; like white than this part of Germany is like far western Russia from the1 standpoint of population, customs, and the general appearance of the country. From Lyck to the border every house, without exception it is said, has been ritlcd and partly or entirely torn down. The broad, well-paved road is practically lined with the remnants of j substantial buildings that in some cas- j es, particularly in the border town of Prosiken were once attractive. Along the road, as along virtually j ;very road of its kind in Germany, are shade trees—except where they have been cut down to allow of artillery fire, rhey are so universal that one gets used to them quite unconsciously, and immediately feels the lack when they Jisappear. The peasants, largely of the Polish type, appear to be self-respecting and pleasant. They greet the casual pass- j erby much as the farmer in America I says how do you do to the stranger j ilong the road, but with the same! tinge of equality in the greeting. The once pleasant and prosperous j country-side from Lyck to the border has been turned into a desert waste. In tillage after village there stand only the firm, substantial' chimneys that even fire will not level to the ground. Almost without exception the remnants of the houses are of brick. Then one comes to the line and al most in the time it takes to close ones eyes and open them again the scene changes so materially that one might be a hundred miles away. First of all the devastation has ceas- ed. Xr t a house has been levelled and not a building damaged. Eut in their very character the houses proclaim the marked contrast. The brick has given way to thatched huts, low, one-story j affairs that fairly reek with filth and grime. In the doorways stood, as an Asso ciated Press (Correspondent made the trip recently, smirking, grovelling peasants, who bowed almost to the ground again and again, as long as the automobile was in sight. They showed the same servility to the military ev erywhere in command of the situation, and were quite oblivious of the scorn ful reception of their abject saluta tions. As quickly as the character of the houses had changed, so had the trees vanished, and for thousands, of yards stretched a bare, black road, oozy and treacherous over which the automo biles made their way with difficulty. Lyck. Maggrabova and other tittle towns on the German side of the bord er but near the Russian line had left much to be desired in the way of clean liness and general attractiveness, but as compared to Grajevo, when it final ly was reached, they were models of beauty and sanitation. The nearest approach to similarity; was the inevitable market square, almost as big in size as all the rest of the town together. But in place of the familiar brick buildings, often of hand- some construction, there lsn^d the; market, nothing more pretentious than j dirty hovels. The desperateness with which the Russians had combatted the Germans for every foot of the territory was plainlv evident in rows upon rows of trenches, always when possible built at the top of rising ground, covered over with evergreen or other branches and made with cunningly constructed i loopholes. Rarely one saw a trench facing the other way— one that the Germans had had time to build hasti ly in the night. For the most part tae advance had been possible only by storming each separate height and by driving the Russians out of their strongholds. Boston Daughter* of Maine Club.

AMERICAN NOTE DECLINING GERMAN SUGGESTION OF PRIZE COURT FOR SETTLING WILLIAM P. FRYE CASE Washington, May 5.—The text of the American note to Germany declining the suggestion that reparation for the sinking of the American sailing ship William P. Frye by the converted cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich be made through a German prize court and re iterating the representations for in demnity was made public today by the state department. It already has been presented to the Berlin foreign office i nthe form of a communication from Ambassador Gerard. Text of Note The note follows: In reply to Your Excellency's note of the r,th instant, which the govern ment of the United States understands admits the liability of the Imperial German government for the damages resulting from the sinking of the American sailing vessel William P. Frye by the German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich on Jan. 28 last. I have the honor to say, by direction of my government, that while the prompt ness with which the Imperial German government has admitted its liability is .highly appreciated, my government feels that it would be inappropriate in the circumstances of this case and would involve unnecessary delay to adopt tile suggestion in your note that the-legality of the capture and den *uc tion. the standing of the claimants and the amount of indemnity should be s.uhmitted to a prize court. “Unquestionably the destruction of this vessel was a violation of the obligations Imposed upon the imperial uerman gov ernment under existing treaty stipula tions between the United States and Prussia,, and the United States govern ment by virtue of its treaty rights has presented to the imperial German govern ment a claim for indemnity on account of the resulting damages suffered by American citizens. “The liability of the imperial German government and the standing of {he claimants as American citizens and the amount of indemnity arc all questions1 which lend themselves to diplomatic ne gotiations between the two governments and, happily, the question of liability uas already been settled in that way. The status of the claimants and the amount of indemnity are the only questions re maining to be settled, and it is appro priate that they should be realt with in the same way. “The government of the United States fully understands that, as stated in Your Excellency’s note, the German govern ment is liable under the treaty pro visions above mentioned for the damages arising from the destruction of the cargo as well as from the destruction of the vessel. But it will be observed that the claim under discussion does not include damages for the destruction of the cargo, and the question of the value of the car go, therefore, is not involved in the pres ent discussion. Facts of Ownership “The government of the United States recognizes that the German government will wish to be satisfied as to the Ameri can ownership of the vessel and the amount of damages sustained in conse quence of her destruction. “These matters are readily ascertain able and if the German government de sires any further evidence in substan tiation of the claim on these points, in addition to that furnished by the ship’s papers, which are already in the posses sion of the German government any ad ditional evidence found necessary will be produced. In that case, however, inas much as the evidence which the German government may wish to have produced is more accessible and can more con ventiently be examined in the United States than elsewhere on account of the presence there of the owners and captain of the William P. Frye and their docu mentary records, and other possible wit nesses, the government of the United States ventures to suggest the advisabil ity of transferring the negotiations for the settlement of these points to the im perial German embassy at Washington., “In view of the admission of liability by reason of specific treaty stipulations, it has become unnecessary to enter into a discussion of the meaning and effect of the Declaration of London, which is given some prominence in Your Excellency’s note of April 5th, further than to say that, as the German government has al ready been advised, the government of the United States docs not regard the Declaration of London as in force.” GERMAN SUBMARINES SINK NINE TRAWLERS ON MONDAY London, May 5, 12.3S P. M.—Nine trawlers, is the bag credited to' Ger man submarines on Monday of this week in *a message received here to day from Hull. In aaidtion to the Io lanthe, the Hero and the Northward Ho, the victims belonging in Hull, in clude the Hector, the Progress, the Co quette and the Bob White, while the Rugby and the Uxbridge owned in Grimsby, met a similar fate.

MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Dsy*e Dealings in Ail the Leading Stock*. New York, May 5.—The Chlna-Japanese situation loomed large on the financial horizon today and resultec in another se- j vere reversal or quoted prices, the see- ond of the week. Net losses in the spec- j ulative favorites ran from two to four points, while “war specialties" suffered in greater degree. The effect of today's selling, which savored more than a little of urgent liquidation, was to reduce by one-half some of the more extensive gains -of the ggt gts breaks.

Selling attained its widest proportions in the final hour, then turn over then exceeding the trading of the three preceding hours. Closing prices were at or near lowest of the day with a weak undertone. London and Continental Europe were credited with further heavy sales here, London continuing to offer our stocks long after the cloBe of regular business in Its own market.

The east with which the market yielded offered proof of its technical weakness of the constructive side. Aside from the advices from the Orient, much of the day's news was of favorable Import.

New Tork—President Oler of Am erican Ice Co. say6: "It is not fair to say the 50 per cent advanced price which became operative May 1 is a 50 per cent advance over last year. Prices of May, 1914. were J2.50 a ton. so that price of S3 in effect May 1 la only a 20 per cent advance over a year ago. "Law of supply and demand will govern the price of ice Just ae much as of any other commodity. Harvest of natural ice this season was 150,000 tons below actual consumption of natural ice last year. That alone is sufficient reason for an advance. Fur thermore, there is every reason for believing that consumption this sum mer will be far heavier than last sum mer, which was unusually cool. "American Ice Co. made very little money last year, and many of the other companies actually lost money. 1 think it is pretty nearly time for American Ice to make a decent re turn to stockholders, although I want to make it very plain that prlcee will not be advanced any further than trade conditions -warrant.’' Eastern Steamship Co. Boston—It will be readily appreci ated that if the Eastern Steamship corporation is to be reorganized so as to preserve its present physical assets it is absolutely essential that the May 1 Interest on the 32,146,000 bonds of the old Eastern Steamship Co. should be paid. The alternative to a prompt payment of this Interim would be foreclosure proceedings which might result in taking the company out of the consolidation and putting It back on its former Inde pendent footing. Those who have studied Into the Eastern Steamship situation are con vinced that the property Is inherently a valuable one and that far more is to be gained by continued unified op eration than by any division into former constituent parts. Reorganisation plana would be greatly helped by a summer of favor able earnings. It la hard to Imagine a combination at more adverse factors than those under which the company labored last year. A year of good earnings and reorganization on the basis of providing sufficient now cash to create an adequate working capital would put Eastern Steamship oa It* feet.

DAILY KENNEBEC JOURNAL Entered at the Augusta Post Office as second class mall matter. j ESTABLISHED 1825. ICo notice whatever will be taken of j unsigned communications. The Journal cannot be held responsi- j ble for the preservation or return of rejected communications. Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to Kennebec Journal Company, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. Thursday, May 6, 1915. If you don’t drive your business you will be driven out of business. The man who stands still is passed by the procession.—B. C. Forbes. Looks Good to Augusta. Augusta rejoices in the assurance which the Kennebec Journal took into its homes and offices Wednesday morning. The hoped-for but half unexpected shoe industry is to be lo cated here. The Crossett Co., of Korth Abington, Mass., has decided to locate its new branch here and will install a plant to employ 500 hands at the start. We assume that there is no ques tion that Augusta citizens will promptly subscribe the additional $15,000. Already the stimulus to business and industry is felt. Everywhere within the city and its surroundings new plans are being laid. Budgets are being revised, and new proposals considered. "Build now',’’ "buy now.” "repair now,” are the inspira tions of the hour. In Augusta and surrounding towns business is bound to immediately feel the effect of the industrial promise. Labor will find itself in demand from many quarters. In Augusta things are likely to hum in the next twelve months. Here a citizen will provide a tene ment to accommodate residents to come; and there new business will seek quarters. Real estate will be in better demand and of increased value. Investors will see new fields opening up. Augusta should have a population of 15,000 on Jan. 1. 1916. It is one evidence of a busier Maine. It is a good beginning when sound industrial concerns awaken to the fact that they can produce and market their product more cheaply in Maine than near the great financial and commercial cen ters. Let other concerns take no tice and consult with Maine Boards of Trade and’ Chambers of Com merce. If we can get one such concern we should be on the look out for others The way to “boom Maine” is to “get busy” and show up our wares. We have "the goods” .and the world needs them. Let us rejoice in this one, make the most of it, and begin the hunt for others. By the way, we hear that another is a hand—a potato house—an in stitution that has been wished for, needed and talked about for years. Let them come! Augusta can stand a lot of this kind of news, while Gardiner and Hallowell are promptly expressing their satisfaction in Au gusta’s good luck. Hughes “Unavailable.” The authoritative statement from Washington (said to have been sent out with Associate Justice Hughes’ approval) that the former New York governor cannot permit the use of his name as a candidate for the Presidency, would seem to halt the rapidly growing hope. With Justice Hughes a one-term declaration or a not-a-candidate declaration means what it says. It Is not of the “scrap of paper,’’ op the “string to It’’ kind to catch favorable comment and votes and then renounce. A Wash ington dispatch says: “Justice Hughes wholly disapproves the use of his name in connection with the presidential campaign. Not only has he no desire to reenter politics, but as a member of the Su preme Court he is not available. He is not a candidate in any sense and cannot permit his name to be used.” Justiee Hughes’ attitude now, is said by his friends, to be the same as it was in 1912, when many regarde 3 him as a compromise candidate. He felt then that he had taken the Su peme Court bench as his life’s work, which he thoroughly enjoyed and he much preferred the seclusion and dignity of the bench to the turmoil of a political candidacy. More recently Justice Hughes’ name has been brought forward from time to time, and within the last few days Gover nor Hatfield of West Virginia, while in Washington, referred to the avail ability of Justice Hughes. It is un derstood the Justice has recently written several letters replying to in quiries from close personal friends, saying ho was In no sense a candi date and disapproving the use of his name. Has the clean-up campaign reached your cellar and back yard?—Boston Herald. lre-e-s; but it hasn’t done much of anything yet. It matters little now, to the general public, who pays the six cents, but the Roosevelt-Barnes trial has estab lished the knowledge that Governor Hughes was never under the thumb ofjiny political ring. I Why Are Men Old at 40? Sometimes we have wished that our constitutional law provided against the growth of a city to great er than 25,000 population, and that no two cities should be nearer than ten miles apart. Oh, yes, you can "pooh pooh” and squirm and sneer at the impossibility and “what it would mean,” and all that,-, and then THINK—and wonder what we are living for, anyway. The "necessities” of greed are limitless. Argue all you wish and as you may, the great city Is the white light toward which the human moths are irresistibly drawn. Everything is overdrawn and out of balance ex cept the opportunities of the human bloodsuckers who live on their fellow beings. “Why are New York men old at 40?” asks the New York Times. Can anybody answer the question? We thought so; everybody knows that 't is not work that kills at that rate. The Times says: Who and where are the old men of New York city—the kind familiar to observation in other communities? The old men of New York are the prematurely old, and they may be found everywhere. Is this condition due to the unre mitting toil of our business men? Or is their excessive industry one of those ancient myths like the one, for example, concerning American thrift? The men of New York rush down to work in the morning, crushed into subway expresses, rattling news papers. They reverse the rush at night, a little paler and more irritable, having dictated some letters, attended abortive "conferences,” bolted their food and spent hours over drinks and cigars. They must get home in time to eat. dinner before going to the show, bil hard parlors, poker party or dancing pavilion. Let us, for once, be candid with ourselves. Probably not one New York man in ten is hurting himself from too close j attention to business, unless it is th business of drinking cocktails, eating heavy meals, smoking cigars, staying up late o’ nights—wasting plentiful leisure in unwholesome indulgence. A Manchester barber, Joseph Uuimont, has shaved 84 men in 60 minutes, without drawing a drop of blood, and now we are waiting for Houston, Montgomery, Charleston, Chattanooga, Allentown, Al toona, Springfield, Brockton, Boston. Bid deford, Augusta, Portland, St. Albans, Montpelier and other towns to trot out their champion speed' barbers.—Manches ter Union. Our rule is not to brag about our barbers, although Augusta has long held the record for the slickest article in the business, but if Lon Chad bourne or Harry Jones or Jim Mac Donald or any one of a long string of other unapproachable artists in their line, can’t turn out any ordinary mug handsomer and cleaner and minus 15 cents, in less than half an hour we won’t enter the contest. In discussing the Coe wife deser tion case, the Portland Express prop erly spanks that type of sneaking coward and then faintheartedly smoothes it over with the following: “The sympathy naturally goes out to the young wife who cast her lot in with one not enough of a man to realize the responsibilities he had assumed an;! live up to them. We shall much prefer to take the more charitable view of the case that young Coe must be mentally deranged; that Is, if the newspapers have presented both sides of the argument fairly.” There are many such deranged, but a wife’s brother with a square jaw, a good bicep and a scientific familiarity with tlie manly art could take the "crazy” out of one of them in about two minutes. “when the pood Lord has spared we and ours from any violent visitation of any thunder shower.” The above is an excerpt from a 140-word complex sentence which made up a Bangor News editorial on Wednesday. If Harry Thaw had been given such a sentence instead of the hypothetical question propounded by the Golden State lawyer, New ■£ork would long since have'been done fighting its chief lunatic. The Commercial Club of Portland, Ore., has a standing offer of $10 to anyone who can find a hole in any pavement in that city as big as a man’s hat. If a Portland man should happen to visit Boston he’d dream he was a millionaire.—Boston Transcript. We had the not'lbn that Portland was bigger than two hats. “What is a wildcat?” asks Editor Eaton of the Bangor News. The nearest approach to it that we know is Chad of the Kennebec Journal.—Biddeford Record. We may go this far in retort, that we have never been accused of in any way resembling the polecat. We should like to say here that we made a dash with our garden tools yes terday, but soon after were forced to in terne them again.—“Pats and Knocks,” in Portland Press. Ours are in dry dock down beside the keg of axlegrease. "What's in a name? He whom we call Woodrow was once Thomas Woodrow; and he whom we call Francis Woodrow may sometimes be known as plain Wood row.—Manchester Union. And mebbe they’ll call him "Hand some Woodrow.” “GOTT MIT UNS” The Harvard prize poem to which Prof. Mayer has made such strenuous objec tion to the extent of severing his connec tion with the college, is as follows: No doubt ye are the people; Wisdom’s flame Springs from your cannon—yea from yours alone. God needs your dripping lance to prop his throne.; Your gleeful torch His glory to proclaim. No doubt ye are the people; far from shame Your Captains who deface the sculp tured stone, Which by the labor and the blood and bone Of pious millions calls upon His name. No doubt ye art the folk; and ’tis to prove Your wardenship of Virtue and of Lore Ye sacrifice the Truth in reeking gore Upon your altar to the Prince of Love.

Loveliness on every hand now the wak ening days beget; Sweetest fragrance, hope and cheer to us all the flowers bring; Glad the earth—reclaimed, revived—God is seen in everything. Bluebird, robin, marten, too, voicing brightest roundelays; Feathered hosts in myriads hail the dawn of golden days. Sweet, their songs of promise true for new blessings pure and rare. Spreading tidings of God's love here and there and everywhere. April’s showers. May’s flowers—harbing ers of brighter days— June, July, August coming, with the summer’s glow ablaze. All the world’s a temple fair wherein men their hymns upraise To the God whose gifts are free for our simple faith and praise. —George Taggart, In the Christian Herald. Woodstock, X. B., was taken Tues day evening—not by the enemy, but by the brethren of the Odd Fellows Lodge at Houlton, who chartered a special train and went over the bor der 100 strong. A cat that goes to the sink, turns on the water through the faucet, has a drink and then turns off the water is the boast of a Bath store through the Bath Times. That seems all right and perfectly legitimate under Sheriff Oliver, but if the cat should go through all those movements for a drink of beer or other contraband then you might have something to howl about. Albert P. Burleigh of Houlton has successfully passed the physical ex amination for admission to the Naval Academy at Annapolis and will at once enter that institution, having previously passed all the mental tests. May 5, 1865—Sherman’s army was said to be preparing to march north, some of the staff already having reached Washington Gen. Hal leck issued an order prohibiting all persona- going into the city of Rich mond, Va., without taking an oath of allegiance. The President was said to be preparing a proclama tion declaring all sailing vessels fly ing the Confederate flag to be pirates. They were to be pursued and if cap tured to be treated as pirates. Orders have been received at the Kittery, Me., navy yard to at once prepare the iron clad Agamenticus for sea. One of the smartest old men of this vicinity, says the Boothbay Regis+er is James Huskins of West Southport, a lobster fisherman at SO years. Mr. Huskins will be found on the water every day pulling his lobster traps and getting returns from them. He has at present only 15 traps in the water, but will in a few days have ten more, and he will make regular rounds along the shore pulling these traps. He finds work better than spending his time, idly at home, and expects to con tinue to work as long as his health permits. Lost year he earned f212 from catching lobster. The new tin can manufacturing plant being built at Lubec will be the largest of its kind in the “Down East” section. It will be three stories high and built of concrete. The location is a convenient one to the sardine can ning factories. It will probably be ready for occupancy by Sept. 1.

Seafaring men claim that the re moval of the forest trees on Doubling Point at the Reach (at Bath) has greatly improved the navigation at that point on the Kennebec, as the breeze holds more steady now in rounding the Point. The sails on ves- I sels hold the wind better than was the case when the trees were so thick on the shore of the Reach. A certain party in this city, relates the Eastport Citizen, speaking about a certain religious service by an up river Parson, said that “It was the most sociable funeral he ever attend ed.” Eater he said that he was some what amused when the Parson made the point that his Calais friend, the deceased, had met with death—only a stepping stone into a far better world —in fact, it was simply a matter of “going over the river.” The Parson did not know that this term was a localism as to the "beverage” and its place of getting. As the deceased was a man given to the use of the "ar dent” it struck the listener most forc ibly from the more facetious point of view. That a small organization can ac complish big things has been proven by the installing of an electric light at Spear’s Corner, West Gardiner, by the Y. M. W. P. Club. This club of young married women was organized at the Corner three years ago, as a social benefit to the neighborhood, by Mrs. T. C. Littlefield and Mrs. A. D. Cole, the first meeting being held at the latter’s house when Mrs. Little field was elected president, an office which she has since very ably filled. A successful little farce entitled “His Model Wife’’ was presented twice during the past winter with great, success and much credit is due Mrs. Cole, who had the affair in charge and whose untiring efforts made it a success. That the money taken in by the club has been used to a good pur pose has been proven and Is one to be greatly appreciated. It is due to the fact that each and every.member so creditably filled each part assigned to them. It is hoped this little band of cheerful workers may continue t.i do good deeds and meet with eqqal successes. The members of the club are Mrs. F. M. Cole of Gardiner; Mrs Bert Goldsmith, Mrs. Will Harmon, Mrs. Delvah Swift, Mrs. Alston Milli ken, Mrs. A. D. Cole, Mrs. Albion Small, Mrs. Charles Fairbanks, Mrs. Harry Mitchell and Mrs. T. C. Little field. Judge Gorman Powers who died at Granite Falls, Minn., last week was bom in Maine on September 14, 1838. He was a member of a distinguished family. One of his brothers, Llewel lyn, was Governor of Maine for four years and a member of Congress at the time of his death. Another brother Frederick A., was attorney general of Maine for four years and a member of the Supreme Court for seven years, and Den. A. H, the sue :earful attorney, has contributed no small degree of distinction belonging ;o the Powers family of Maine. Judge Jorham Powers was educated In the >ast. He was a veteran of the Civil war. He located in Minneapolis in 1866 and removed to Granite Falls in 1874. He was elected to the Minne sota Legislature in 1878 and appointed :o the twelfth district bench In 1890. Kennebec shad are now being caught and are considered the greatest delicacy In the market. A few salmon have been round In the nets, but not enough to say they are plenty. Light and Airy Thoroughbreds. Down sunny paths or shady. They lightly trod the ground; Both held their heads As thoroughbreds Do Wheresoever found. One was a high-born lady. And one an Airdale hound! -Lida Keck Wiggins, in Judge. Bargains In Postage. (Louisville Courier Journal.) “Wife, I see postage to Barbados has been reduced.” “How much?” “From five cents to two cents." "What a pity I don’t know anybody there. I would write immediately.” A Cure. From a college in Virginia comes a man who tells of how he helped "cure” a college mate of staying out so late at night when he had dates with girls of the town in which the college is situat ed. The young man was "cured” In this way: He was backing out of the door, re luctantly loosening his grip on the fair hand, when his "backing out” process was suddenly arrested and he sat down. The light from the door flooded out over the porch. The young woman gave one look, shrieked and fled. At first he was angry, and then he laughed, but he was "cured.” His mate had simply taken his bed from his room and set it up and made it up on the porch while he was enjoying his date. By the time he had carried it back to his room, the first streak of a new day marked the beginning of the "cure” for the young man. "Pa, did you know ma long before you married her?" “No, my boy, I didn’t know her until long after X married her!" Revised Rates. The Justice—Ten for exceedin’ the speed limit. Cornin’ back this way? The Victim—No. The Justice—Then it’s twenty. The Carrs already had a very large family when the arrival of another little Carr was announced. "My goodness! exclaimed one of the long suffering neighbors. "It is certain ly to be hoped that this is tne caboose.” Coming Events May 6-7—Aroostook Teachers’ Associa tion convention, Houlton.

He was out on a j close decision at the plate when he tried to reach home on Thvng's grounder i to Dunn. A few moments later Thyng was caught off second. A moment later Turner’s long hit over second placed him on second base when the inning closed. In the sixth inning some weird fielding mixed with a base on balls and hits enabled Cony to get six runners over the plate and apparently put the game' on ice. In the eighth, however, the llal lowell hatters, w ho for six innings ha 1 been retired in almost one-two-three or der. started a hatting rally which brought four runs in and placed men on the three bases with only one man out. At this juncture Haskell was sent to th sidelines and Brennan took his place on the mound. He disposed of the next^wo batsmen in order. In the ninth nertT’er side scored. The features of the g.-mcj were the unexpected strength shown by Hallowell against the more experienced and stronger Cony team, the consistent pitching of Dunn, who again and again i pulled his team out of difficult holes, thej showing: of Brennan in the two innings he worked. The hitting and all-around playing of Wyer was notable.

As a matter of fact, it does cost more than an ordinary, cheaply built, job machine—about five dollars more. But a world of difference in quality that five dollars represents. It means the difference between welded and seam less tubing, between inaccurate, hastily tempered bearings and the most exqui sitely machined bearings that ever went into a bicycle; between a paint and varnish coating and a finish consisting of hand-rubbed, baked enamel: finally that five dollars represents the difference between a bicycle you will never like and one that will give you many years of splendid service.

To settle a discussion will you kindly state whether loaf sugar sold in bulk is the purest sugar that can he bad, and that it is purer than the candies dually eaten by chil dren? Mrs. G. M. B. A. There is no question that loaf sugar as usually sold is o£ birtremely high purity. There is no'reason for supposing that'it is the purest sugar that can be obtained for the granu lated type of the same high purity is easily procurable. It is true, how ever. that it is much purer dhan any of the cheu|p, low grade candies usually eaten by children. A high grade candy made by a reputable, manufacturer may be exactly as pure as the loaf sugar. Avoid This Formula. Q. Is it harmful to use as a pre servative Va teaspoon salicylic acid to 1 quart of green string beans, com bined with sugar and salt to taste? Is the enclosed quantity of canning compound, to 2 quarts of sweet corn cut off the cob, harmful? Mrs. A. W. D. A. Salicylic acid has a use in ths treatment of perspiring feet and rheumatism but has no rightful place in any food product. This canning compound consists of Boracic Acid and Benzoate of Sodium, and should not be used, under any circumstances in foods.

Grapefruit is of great impor. tance on account of the organic acid, and various soluble mineral salts which it conveys to the system in i P?1 form readily agRtoiilated. Grapefrufl **i may be served ^Iher with or without sugar, according to individual taste. S ah It is not true that it becomes poison- _< __qllniTPH C-innJ ous when allowed to stand with the sugar. It does, however, acquire a flat flavor—the snap and zest having gp in large part disappeared. M A delightful way of serving this ex- pe cellent fruit is to divide, remove seed, ul and core in the usual way; add on* w< spoonful of pure strained honey with Of a few chopped nuts. A little grape P® Juice also makes a pleasant combing, tion.

rE INSURANCE OF RIFLES AND CARTRIDGES TO THE RIFLE CLUBS following the ar,ion of Congress at opxsimi authorising the chief; J ordnance issue free to rifle clubs •Se Kra« rifles stored in the govern tent Trsenuis and U>0 cartridges to used in the same for each member the rifle club, the 1'resident and his ibinet are confronted with the pro |W„n ,0 put the seal of approval of HKdminietration on the training of rl:.. i., .ho ush of the military civilians in the ush of the military n as recommended by the President his last message to Congress. This sprovai or disapproval will come gout through the efforts of the Na* l„nal Board for Promotion of Rifle aetlce to organize rifle shooting as ciations in aC the government de irtments in Washington, such organ ations necessarily requiring the ap ivnl of the chiefs of the depart ients. The movement to issue Krag rifles ,r the training of tsftizens in rifle Booting explains what is being done With the Krag rifles in storage in the government arsenals, which has been B. matter of a great deal of newspaper Speculation as to the disposal of the .game since the outbreak of the Kuro pean war. It was the efforts of spec ulators influential and otherwise, who Were making the life of the chief of bird nance miserable in their eflorts to purchase the Krag rifles, which caus ed the President to have issued the Order iu January forbidding the sale Of arms to rifle clubs. It was not thought that there was any abuse of |he privilege accorded rifle clubs to purchase government arms but the President desired to be in a position Of saying that no arms in any amount pnd of any description were being bold to anyone, especially Krag rifles ||s these were being reserved for issue to government rifle clubs under au thority of the recent new law. Since this law went into effect last Bummer over L’r.O rifle clubs have been S= organized throughout the country. No particular section seems to be leading in this respect, although these clubs iire more successful in the West where it. is easier to acquire and maintain ranges in the open. The lack of ranges In the densely populated east ern section of the country is going to materially retard the development bf rifle shooting in the East uhtess the government should construct ranges that can be used at 200 and 300 yards near the larger cities, after the plans of protected ranges carried out in Germany and other foreign countries which provide for the building of shields to catch all shots which would have missed the target,- thus making them absolutely safe from stray bul lets and accidental discharge of the rifle. The general staff of the army is now at work on a new code of rifle practice which can be used on such ranges and also on open ranges of the National Guard where it is Im possible to 'get distances beyond 300 yards. Congress will be asked at the com ing session to adopt a policy of range construction in the United States. Every year that this is put off will add to the difficulties and cost to the government of eventually acquiring such ranges and without such ranges the government will never obtain any adequate returns from its loaning to citizens of Krag rifles and ammuni tion. Such clubs are now being or ganized at the rate of 15 to 25 a week and the offices of the National Rifle Association of America, in whose hands the government has placed the organization of these clubs, are a busy place. Hy addressing this association at Washington, descriptive printed matter in regard to the movement may he secured by any citizen who is interested in the matter of rifle train ing in this country. WAGE INCREASE H ELPS IN PROVIDING FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVINC, DUE TO WAR tees ^Associated Press Correspondence) i London, April 17.—AVar as a wage Iser has brought to a considerable koportion of the laboring classes in Inland some compensation for the creased cost of living. Social work estimate that the increased cost living averages is at least 10 per while the average increase in is not over five per cent. The ^ntiful supply of overtime work lllable in most trades, makes it for most workmen to more than matters. upward tendency of the English [man's wages was very mark irch. According to the other ixd of Trade reports, the in granted during the mor^h ched a total of nearly $365,000. The nber of workpeople who shared the B6s was 440,000. teased wages in some of the ling branches of industry are imed up briefly as follows: tallwaymen —All round increase of (oents a week. Kigshoremen—Increases varying 25c to $2 a week. olicemen—AA’ar bonus of 75c a ek iipwards. Carpenters—War bonus of 1 to a week. Ineral Laborers—Increases of 75c a week. liifS—Employers generally offer cent advance in pay; miners twenty per cent. ^employees, including tele nd telegraph workers—In $1 a week h.ts been demand L&0 Workers—Increases averaging feek. akers—Increase of $1.25 a week d, but employers’ offer of 75c ac [ted pending negotiations, fertile workers—Bonus for over 1‘work in factories doing work on oy clothing. oot and Shoe Workers—AVar bon of five to ten per cent granted in tie places. Coopersmtths—Average wage before $9; now $12.50. Clerks—Some increases?; 1S0.000 grocers’ assistants have asked read justment wages; similar’ movements pending in other branches. Engineering and building trades workers—Some sections have secured substantial increases. The number of unemployed in Great Britain shows a large falling o(t the past' February and March as compared with the corresponding months of last year. The Board 6f Trade's labor gazette prints statistics from the gov ernment's 403 labor exchanges accord ing to which there, were 87,004 names on the register last month as against 100.616 for February and 123,714 for March ndon, April 18.—The British th authorities are preparing for arate measures to prevent any 'spread epidemics of diseases like era, typhus, scurvy, dysentery or oid, either in this country or ng the British soldiers abroad, ■e is widespread anxiety that 3 diseases of this character will e their appearance in force :n estern part of the Continent IpU-ing the next four months. Professor Simpson of King’s Col Ke, London, points out in the Lancet I^Rt the armies of Germany and Aus Ma will be in a very different physi J-mental and material condition in jfy an(1 the autumn of 1915 or “rom what they were in 1914. lould epidemics then arise, they are it likely to be confined to the par rular armies first stricken, nor will e civil population in the devastate! eas escape. Scarcity of food, it is further in cated, will play its part in reducing e disease-resisting power of the pulation. The combination of war, od and famine will favor the spread epidemics. “Indeed,” says Profess Simpson, “the terrible taint in the r that already characterizes the in ula ted area on the Yser tells its 'n tale. Under this flood lies a hun t'd thousand corpses.” The Yser is not much farther from tndon than New York is from hiladelphia. London, therefore, ust take strict measures to protect Tself. “At a moment when health is of such vital importance,” com ments Professor Simpson, "we cannot afford to overlook any precaution. The effect upon hours of labor alone would be immense if an epidemic should arise; the effect of alcoholic excess would be quite insignificant in comparison. "Various measures of protection are now in force. Everyone who' has crossed the Channel recently knows that a medical examination is carried out at Folkestone before passengers arc permitted to land. This meas ure should be more vigorously applied as the summer advances. "It has been recently suggested that inoculation against typhoid should be carried out among the civil population of England. There is much to be said in favor of this idea. England is at present full of camps in which largs numbers of people are crowded, to gether. These camps are models of good management, nevertheless there are certain dangers which, are una voidable. The typhoid ‘carrier’ is one of them; he is not himself ill, but he carries the germ of the disease and infects oither people. “The question of fly destruction has already been dealt with. The best way to avoid flies is to keep scrupu lously clean premises and to leave nothing of an edible character uncov ered.’’ JOURNAL WANT AOS BRING RESULTS TRY ONE AND SEE SURPRISE AT AP PARENT INDIFFER ENCE IN ENGLAND (Associated Press Correspondence.) London, April 20.—“We Belgians and French, who are now suffering most cruelly from German aggression, are grieved and astonished to find that in the eyes of a large part of the trade unionists of Great, Britain the war now raging does not seem much more im portant than a Colonial expedition. In many places, indeed, the working men act exactly as If England were not en gaged, as we are, in a struggle for life or death.” In these words M. Emile Vandervelde, the Belgian minister of state and leader of the socialist party in his own country, sums up his case against British social ists in an open letter to the Daily Citi zen, Hyndman, the leader of the social Democratic party in England, had as sured M. Georges Clemenceau, the French socialist, that the vast majority of British workmen and socialists strong ly believed in the war. Vandervelde de nies Hyndman’s statement, adding: “I have even been told that in certain factories of arms and ammunition where there are Belgians and English, the English advise the Belgians not to exert their full strength so as to avoid inten sive exploitation of their powers of la bor. Such action is legitimate in time of peace. If persisted in now, it is ob viously because the workers of England do not sufficiently realize the gravity of the situation. "But we may ask if there is not an other cause—if there is not in certain quarters some bad feeling, and if the propaganda of peace at any rate is not in part responsible for a crisis which Earl Kitchener deplores and Lloyd George strongly denounces.” Vandervelde points to the resolution adopted by the international labor party at London, declaring victory for German imperialism would be the downfall of liberty and democracy in Europe, and asks Keir Hardie and the labor party leaders what is being done to carry out this resolution. It is the duty of these leaders, Vandervelde urges, to enforce the seriousness of the war upon the la boring men of Great Britain. WARFARE AND GAR DENING MIX WELL (Associated Press Correspondence) British Headquarters, France, April 10.—Among: the many incongruities of the present campaign not the least strange contrast is that between the waging of trench warfare and the gardening which is carried on in many places by the British soldier. The gardens, which are mostly near the dugouts. are not of a very ambitious order, but when circumstances per mit, considerable care is devoted to their cultivation. In' some cases the small plots of growing primroses and daffodils are not more than 200 yards from the en emy, close behind the breast-work protecting their owners from the bul lets which whistle overhead and bury themselves with a vicious thud in the sandbags a few feet away. COURTS PROTECT DIS CHARGED GERMAN GIRLS (Associated Press Correspondence) Berlin, April 4.—A large number of Berlin shop girls have brought actions against firms, which after inducing them at the beginning of the war to accept a reduction of salary, have dismissed them. There have been more than 70 prosecutions of one firm. A special court at Charlottenburg lias now given judgment that such dismissals are illegal, holding that the reduction in salary was arranged and accepted on the understanding that it would prevent the employee suffer ing from unemployment during the war, and that employers cannot give notices of dismissal until normal con ditions are restored in the labor mar ket. If, therefore, a shop girl is dis missed, she is entitled to all sums deducted from her wages since the beginning of the war. LONDON IN GERMANY ENDORSED “NOT YET” (Associated Press Correspondence) London, April 23.—An absent-mind ed employee of a French business house recently addressed a letter to a London client to “London, Germany.” It reached its destination here safely, but in passing through the London post the word Allemagne (Germany) was underlined and endorsed in red pencil: “Not yet.” GERMANY SEEKS TO HOLD Scandinavian trade (Associated Press Correspondence) Christiania.

The American Sugar Refining Co. Look For the Small Type on the Label Twenty second of a series to appear on Food Page of this paper each Thursday A STUDY of the labels on the cans, bottles, cartons and boxes in which foods are packed will prove Interesting as showing you how some manufac turers are drugging and adulterat ing foods and beverages which' ybu buy and feed your family. You will learn many interesting truths by looking closely at the small type on these labels, and a -careful study will show you that many products frankly confess to benzoate of soda used as a pre servative—for example. That means the manufacturer acknowledges cept with absurdly trifling fines. A man convicted of using wood alcohol in extracts—which your druggist sells under the skull and crossbones label—was fined 510 two years after detection—and so it goes. A clean, pure, wholesome food product demands clean, honest ma terials; clean, careful manufacture and clean, healthy workers. Take away any of these essentials from a food factory and these products cannot possibly measure up to the food standards that you should re quire for yourself and your cbil 'We have maynifit,d the small type on this label to show you a product em balmed with benzoate of soda and “artificially colored’’ with coal tar dye. Avoid such products—always. Read the Westfield Standard below. that his product will spoil in Its container unless he embalms it and Is also a statement from him that he prefers chemicals to cleanly fac tory conditions. There are no real reasons for using preservatives in foods, and the largest body of food manufac turers in the world, The National Canners’ Association, will tell you that canned foods require only sugar, salt and heat to Insure prod ucts that are pure and healthful. When you find strawberry Jam that confesses on the label to ap ple stock and coal tar dye; when you find pickles and baking powder containing an admitted dose of alum; flavoring extracts made from ethers, artificially colored, which, of course, means colored with coal tar dye. you may know that these manufacturers are Interested solely in these cheap concoctions because of the added profit that it puts in their pockets. They have no inter est in your health or the health of your children. But this experiment in label read ing will not always unmask the really dangerous class of food frauds, for the law that instructs the food faker to confess his sins in small type on the label does not punish the convicted offender ex dren. Certainly not to the food I standards of Westfield, the Pure I Food Town. Chemical preserva- I tives will never take the place of cleanliness, and no manufacturer can make a clean, pure, wholesome food out of partially decayed raw materials disguised and embalmed with benzoate of soda and colored with coal tar dyes. So long as you are willing to buy bliudly; so long as you allow your self to be fooled by good looking labels without reading the fine print; so long will the food adul terer find it easy to make profits because of your carelessness. Decaying fruit, molding refuse, dirt and bacteria can be doctored so as to fool your eyes, your nose and tongue. Don’t experiment in your buying of foods; draw the line plain and clear between foods that conform to The Westfield Standard and those which do not—between those trade marked food products which stand for quality and purity —known to be good—and those which indicate a product of un known quality. Read the small type on the label, for it is your carelessness or thoughtlessness in buying that the food adulterer trades on. [To be continued.] Here is the Food Standard of the Pare Food Town of Westfield, Mass More exacting than Government Food Standards or State Food Laws: "Foods shall not contain added ALUV. COPPER, FORMALDEHYDE, SULFUROUS ACID or Its Saits, BOR IC ACID or its Salts, BENZOIC ACID or its Salts, FORMIC ACID or its Salts, HYDROFLUORIC ACID or its Salts, SALICYLIC ACID or its Salts, nor any other non-condimental pre servative. "Foods shall not be colored with COAL TAR DYES, nor with poisonous VEGETABLE COLORS, nor be con taminated with inert tillers, nor shall any substance be taken thereLom or added thereto so as to injuriously af fcet their quality, strength or purity. “Foods shall be packed and sold un der sanitary conditions and package goods shall bear no DISHONEST LABEL nor labels bearing any EX TRAVAGAIV or OBSCURE state ments." For protection to yourself and your family, see that you buy only foods and beverages that are certified under “The Westfield Standard.” You will then be buying only prod ucts of high food value—wholesome and pure. Your Business,Madam! The conscience of the food manufacturer has been aroused; the sense of decency in the retail dealer has been appealed to; woman—as consumer—has not only been made to realize the need for pure food, but how to obtain it has become her business. You don’t have to fight with your grocer; all you have to do f is quietly but firmly insist upon guaranteed foods. I And the Westfield Standard may well be your guide. Read Prof. Leant B.

In most cases, obstacles, military or otherwise, stood in the way of mar riage. An Irish girl, a Catholic, said she could not induce her man, a Prot estant, to marry in her church, and site refused to do so in his, so they did without. These couples live quite as respectably as those legally united, however. “In the majority of cases,” contin ued Hills, “it is simply a matter of a young girl and a young man losing their head3 when the man is going to the front. Generally the pair are en gaged. “We believe the government ought to pay these girls a regular separation allowance, such as is paid to wives of soldiers.” Besides providing food and watching over the mother, the League gives her sewing to do, if she is able to do It. in order to promote a spirit of independ ence. Where it is considered advisable, foster parents are found for the child and the mother is given a situation so as to make a fresh start in life. The league has brought about the marriages of a number of couples. Marriages are not popular among the poor because of the expense. But with expenses paid, they are eager for the ceremony. The sum of $2.50 is given for the license and a cheap wedding ring provided. It is significant that the men in the trenches in writing to the league always refer to their mate* as wives. They seem extremely grateful for the assistance given these unforttH nates, and they recognise their respond sibility fully. It is reported that a Bath man1 while recently digging a trench on Freemont street, struck a pocket con taining about a quart of quicksilver, and sa^ed quite a quantity which he has been distributing among M*j friends.

BRITISH FIND RUSSIAN REPORTS REDUCE SCOPE GERMAN VICTORY London, May 5, 1.17 p. m.—The .Russian reports concerning the re cent fighting in western Galicia are being accepted by British military critics as reducing the German claims of victories In this battle to more just proportions. Following his custom, Grand Duke Nicholas, com mander in chief, in the field, has not hesitated to admit a reverse, and con firms the German statement that his antagonists have succeeded in break ing across the Dunajec river, but the grand duke adds that he is holding _ them fast on the bank of this stream, and he seems to intimate that he has little anxiety concerning the ultimate outcome of the fierce fighting which has been going on In this regjon for a week past. Observers in London are of the opinion that the fact that the Rus sians have not diverted from their ob jective elsewhere and that the bat tles in the Stry region continue with unabated energy is good evidence that the situation of the Russians Is not so critical as has been painted and the idea is being advanced in London that political reasons may have had something to do with the huge im portance attached to this success by the German and Austrian govern ments in their official communications concerning. It is admitted that the readjust ment of the British line in Flanders with the consequent abandonment of Beveral positions east of Ypres, marks the extent of the advantages won by Germany from her victory, between Ypres and Dixmunde. By straighten ing this line, however. Sir John French, the British commander in chief, has cut oft a salient which threatened military disadvantage should the Germans attempt another thrust with the reinforcements said to be rushing through Belgium. All the German attacks, thus far, accord ing to both the British and French official statements, have been shat tered on this new line. The news from Gallipoli is consid ered reassuring, setting forth as it does that the allies have made good the positions gained after the first fierce onslaughts upon the Turks during the landing operations. Sub sequent German and Turkish attacks have been repulsed with heavy loss es to the Ottoman forces who grad ually are being pushed in a norther ly direction. The German submarine campaign in the waters of the United Kingdom shows ho signs of a let-up The list of vessels sent to the bottom length ens every day. although the craft sunk mostly are of small Importance. Scandinavian ship owners are suffer ing more than are the British and the newspapers of Norway and Sweden have been referring in sarcastic terms to Germany’s "bravery in torpedoing all the Swedish and Norwegian ships she meets.” RUSSIANS CONTINUE PURSUIT UF THE OEFEATED TURKISH ARMY Till is. Trans-Caucasia, May J.—(Via Pe trograd, 12 noon, and London, 3.30 P. M.). —The pursuit of the defeated Turkish army under the command of Khali Bey, in the Khori-Dalmon region of the Cau casus, is being continued, according to trustworthy advices reaching Titlls. This battle, which has resulted in heavy losses for the Turks, began April 29 at Hfintahta, near L'rumiah. In the beginning the Russians stood off the Turks, but the latter received reinforce ments and on April 30 the Russians abandoned Dilman and entrenched them selves at Magonzhic, the first village on the way to Khori. From this position they pounded the Turks with their heavy artillery until the arrival of Russian re inforcements. Three hundred, refugees from Dilman have arrived at Julfa, just over the border in Russia, and 1200 more are on their way. The Russian consul here is taking measures to prevent refu gees from Urumiah and Dinman enter ing the Caucasus. Nersus, the bishop of Tabriz, Persia, has arrived here. He describes the sit uation at Van as desperate. Bight hun dred Turks and a large number of Kurds are active there, destroying Ar menian villages. Of the 300 inhabitants of the village of Rashva only three es caped. The Armenians, according to the bishop, are still hoping for American and Italian diplomatic interference. At Van where a month ago the Armenians were forced to take the defensive and barri cade the town, -they now have been standing oiT the Turks and the Kurds for a week. Four Turkish regiments, with artillery, are advancing against these Armenians from Erzingan. They are threatened also by gendarmes from the Persian border. It is feared that the history of 1835 and 1896 will be repeated. (In these years reforms for Armenia were demanded after a series of acts of i oppression on the part of Turkey. The presentation of the demands by the states 1 of Europe was followed by terrible mus sacres of Armenians which began in Sep tember of 1S93 and continued into 1890.) It is declared in Armenia that the Young Turks have adopted the policy i pursued by Abdul Hamid in that year, i namely, the annihilation of the Arme nians. The exi ting state of terror has pre vented the planting of crops and a fam ine is impending. The city of Ezcrum, in Turkish Armenia, has today 390 cases of typhus fever. Washington, May 5.—The Ameri can steamer Gulflight was flying "o large American ensign” and was "torpedoed without warning” by a submarine, whose nationality has not yet been established, according to cabled statement received by Secre tary Brjan today, signed by Chief Officer Smith and Consular Agent Banfield. Ambassador Page reported that Lieut. John H. Towers, one of the naval attaches of the American em bassy at London, and Naval Con structor Lewis B. McBride will make an inspection of the hull of the Gulf i'ght, now in charge of the Britisn admiralty. He also ordered the Am srican consul at Plymouth to taka depositions from the officers and crew of the Gulflight. The statement received by the state department from Chief Officer Smith was cabled originally to the owners of the vessel, the Gulf Refining Com pany, who telegraphed it here today. The statement of the first officer of the Gulflight and Consul Banfleld as made public by Secretary Bryan follows: “One p. m„ Saturday, heavy wea ther, 10 miles west of Bishop, flying large American ensign, following British patrol boats to Bishop, was torpedoed without warning.

GERMANS SAY BRITISH CONTINUE RETREAT TO THE EAST OF YPRES Berlin, May via London, 3.55 P. M.— The statement issued today at army headquarters relates that the British continue their retreat with heavy losses, to the east of Ypres; that a strong French attack delivered yes terday northwest of Pont-A-Mausson broke down under the German fire with heavy losses to the attackers and that to the normeast of Suwalki and to the east of Augustowo numerous Russian advances failed and the Ger mans took 400 prisoners. Referring to the fighting in west Galicia, the report says an Austro-German attack north of the wooded Carpathians pierced the third fortified Russian line and that the Russians are rttreating after de feat along this entire front and that the Russians are beginning to evacu ate threatened positions on their northern flank and to the southwest of Dukla Pass. Official Report The text of the communication fol lows: "Western theater of war: The Brit ish continue their retreat, with heavy losses, in the direction of the bridge head situated sharply to the east of Ypres. The van Heule and Eksternest farms, the castle ground of Herenth age, and the Set Pappatje farm were taken by us. “Between the Meuse and the Moselle there is again great activity in the forest of Le Pretre. Northwest of Pont-a-Mousson, the French attacked yesterday with strong forces. Notwith standing a long preparatory bombard ment by artillery their attack b-oke down under our fire, with heavy losses to the enemy. On the other hand, we began attacks In the forest of Ailly and to the east thereof, which made good progress. Up to the present we have here taken 10 officers and 750 men. “Eastern theater of war: Attacks from Roczinis, coming from the southeast were repulsed. The enemy is being pursued at Kalwarya. Also northeast of Suwalkt, and east of Au gustowo numerous Russian advances failed. Four hundred Russians in all were taken prisoners. "On the remainder of the front there were a few fights at close quarters, all of which were decided in our favor. “Southeastern theater of war: An attack by the allied troops north of the wooded Carpathians pierced through the third fortified line of the Russians, who yesterday were defeat ed along the entire front, retreating toward the Wisloka river. The magni tude of the victory may be seen from the fact that, owing to the piercing by the allies (Teutonic) of the enemy's lines, the Russians are beginning to evacuate threatened positions on their northern flank, in the wooded Car pathians southwest of Dukla. “The rapidity with which our suc cesses have been achieved makes it impossible to give an idea tn figures of the booty In this victory. According iMaM to reports at hand, the number of pris oners taken up to the present amounts to over 30,000.” WASHINGTON COUNTY SUPREME COURT NOW FACES LONG SESSION Calais, Me., May 5.

JUSTEGE mm SETS ASIDE VERDICT IN RICHARDSON CASE Bangor, Me., May 5.—In the suit of Frank W. Richardson, executor of the last will of I’hillip Page, late of Burl ington, against Agnes A. Sibley, also of Burlington, Judge Cornish has set aside the verdict of the jury.

Sibley for the return of the property conveyed to her in March, 1912, on the ground that Phillip Page at that time was not of sound mind. A. I,. 'Blanchard, Esq., and James B. Mountaine, Esq., appeared for the plain tiff, and Hon. W. R. Pattangall and James D. Rice, Esq., for the defendant.

SETTLEMENT BY AUSTRIA AND ITALY NOW APPEARS POSSIBLE Home. May 5.-(AOa Chtasso, Switzer land, to Paris, May 6, 1.45 A. M.).—In Official quarters where the true situation of Italy is known, and notwithstanding the anti-Austrian feeling shown at the unveiling of the Garibaldi monument at Quarto Sant 'Elena, it was stated today that the possibility of an accord between Italy and Austria had never been so probable. This fact, it was asserted, was due to Austria at last realizing that Italy was really determine to go to war in order to secure the territories inhabited by Italians but under Austrian rule, Italy's right to own which was acknowledged by Austria when the negotiations for their return were begun. TJje differences between the two countries now concern only the ex tent of the territories to be turned The farm was not molested Tuesday, but it is understood that some action will be taken, if possible, to have the creatures moved into a neighborhood that does not object to the presence of the industry. It is the first time that the board of health has been called upon to consider a case of Just this nature and the mem bers are debating upon the proper course to pursue. The Board of Health is inclined to shift the responsibility in this partic ular case upon the board of selectmen but the selectmen deny that it comes under their department and they refer the matter to the owner of the land upon which the farm is located which, it is understood, is one of the town's prominent legal lights. It is though possible that the entire matter may be referred to either the Public Utilities Commission or the German ambassa dor at Washington for final adjust ment.

Several Boston merchants and sportsmen arrived in the city, Wed nesday and passed a few hours stock ing up for a big fishing trip to be taken In the vicinity of Moosehead.

Miss Lucy Wheelock, principal of the Wheelock Training school of Bos r over by Austria to Italy, the form of and the time in which the cession is to be made. The greatest obstacle still concerns Trieste. Prince Von Buelow, the German ambassador, is said to have declared that if he can induce Baron Sonnino the Italian foreign minister, to give up claim on Trieste and accepts con stitution into a free city, an agree ment between Austria and Italy may be reached in a relatively short time. The ambassador added that the latest concessions by Austria showed that she understood the necessity of mak ing even what, to her is a grave po litical sacrifice with a view to elim inating all causes of friction between the two countries aod insuring Italy's neutrality in the war at present and possibly her loyal support later. lege, Dr. Arthur S. Phelps, Principal Mallett of the Farmington Normal school, and many others as equally prominent will be among the speakers Friday at the county teachers con vention to be held morning, afternoon and evening in the First Baptist church. _ VARIETY OF ENTER TAINMENT TONIGHT Waterville pleasure seekers will have a variety of attraction to choose from for Thursday evening. It isn’t very often that such an arrjty of talent comes to the city in one evening, and it ought to mean that everyone’s taste will be appealed to by one of the at tractions. At the City Opera House, Dewolfe and Dillon present a strong company in a rural melo-drama, "Tess of the Storm Country,” that ought to appeal to the lovers of good plays, while at the First Baptist church, Prof. William A. Chapman will offer something along the classic line in music. The principal artist will be Nina Morgana, the marvelous col oratura soprano; Florence Austin, vi olinist; Arthur Johnson, Lyric tenor, and Prof. Chapman himself. For those who trip the light fantastic there will be a dance given at the new Elks’ home by the Waterville Lodge of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; and a dance w’ill also follow the exhi bition and drill to be given by the Uni formed Rank, K. of P., at the armory as the concluding feature of their Field day exercises for the 3rd Battal ion, to which Bayard Co. belongs. On the way to the Orient. We owe to a popular writer, says Mr. Sidney Whitman in “Turkish Memories,” the assertion that there is something fundamentally different in character between the East and the West, which makes mutual under standing difficult and assimilation im possible. The English traveler who is inclined to accept this axiom may be gin to detect the Eastern flavor of things as soon as he leaves the fron tier of the German Empire behind h'm and passes throuh the Austro Hungarian monarchy on his way to Constantinople. Should you arrive at Vienna on a Saturday, you will have to wait there 24 hours if you intend to take the Orient Express to Constantinople, for it leaves Vienna on Sunday evening, and even in that short time you may feel a subtle change in the atmos phere of life. You ask a sedate-look ing official in the bureau of your hotel up to what o’clock on Sunday morn ing the shops in the town remain open, as you want to purchase a few traveling necessaries. “Until midday, sir," is the decisive reply. Instinc tively, warned by past experience, you turn to the hall porter, who usually embodies the brain power of a Vien nese hotel, and in order to make sure, you put th^ same question to him. "The shops are not open at all on Sundays,” is his reply, and so indeed it turns out to be. You stroll toward the Leopoldstadt with the intention of taking luncheon at the old “Goldnes Lamm, now called the Hotel National, long renowned as the hostelry patronized by European crowned heads as far back as the Vienna Congress in 1816. You grip the brass handle of a glass door on which the inviting word “Entree” is affixed in large white enameled let ters. You tug at it in vain, and tire ultimately warned off by a man . others ever since—were warned off' but the proprietor has not apparentlj thought it worth while to erase th< misleading letters. It is still Sunday, and you wish tc post a registered letter. That can be done only at the Central Post Office during certain hours of the afternoon You drive there, holding the letter ir readiness, together with a krone tc pay the registration fee, and wait youi turn patiently. For without patience that supposedly Christian virtue (which by the way I subsequently ac quired myself and discovered to be oi Mohammedan origin), it is of litt use starting on a journey to the E At last your turn comes, and you tiently watch the registering cle« after slowly copying the address 3 your letter into a book, retire to back of his capacious office. You i tice that he is in earnest consulta^ with a colleague. At last he cc forward with an air of embarrass and explains apologetically that i in a “difficulty” as to providing change out of the small coin you handed him. Finally he asks wt you would mind accepting a j stamp of the value of ten hells penny) in part discharge of due you. All this happens within 24 s You know now that you are way to the East, where a value of time and an eleme tion mixed up with every statement of fact constitute t many differences between going East and the West.

FRANK PEABODY WILL SUCCEED LYMAN NELSON FRANK A. PEABODY Portland. Me., May 5.—Prank A. Pea body of Houlton was appointed a mem ber of the State Highway Commission today by Governor Curtis to succeed Chairman Lyman H. Nelson of this city, •whose resignation becomes effec tive on June 1. The appointment is subject to confirmation by the execu tive Council on May 2fi Mr. Peabody is in the insurance business. He was a member of Former Governor Plaisted s Council. For L'nexpired Term According to the wording of the ap pointment it is for the unexpired term of Mr. Kelson and begins June 1, the date Mr. Kelson's resignation takes effect, and continues until July 12, 1916. This fact has brought out an interesting question as to wnether Mr. Peabody, notwithstanding the fact that he is the junior member of the board, does not become the chairman of the commission until the expiration of his term. The matter, it is understood, is one Governor Curtis is not absolutely sure about and a decision probably will be asked from Attorney General Wil liam R. Pattangall. May Be Chairman It was generally understood that Commissoiner Philip J. Leering would be made the chairman as the ranking democratic member but the reading of the law may make this impossible. It is claimed by some that the only way this could be dorm would be for Mr. Deering to resign and be reap pointed for the balance of Mr. Kel son's term, and for Mr. Peabody to be appointed to succeed Mr. Deering. It is generally believed, however, that if this is found necessary that nothing will be done about it and that Mr. Peabody will he allowed to stand ac chairman. Mr. Peabody is 48 years of age and was bora in Kew Brunswick. He mov ed to Houlton when 14 years of age and was educated in the public scbcatie of that town and in the Ricker Class ical Institute. He served the town ol Houlton as selectman for seven years from 1905 to 1912, and was re-elected in 1914 and 1915. He is a member of the firm of Donnell Peabody, insurance. The new appointee is a trustee ol Ricker Classical Institute, a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He is chairman ol the. Democratic county committee ol Aroostook county and has held vari ous other offices.

Mr. Peabody had not the slightest knowledge that he was even being considered for the position and he was greatly surprised when told that he had been appointed j by Governor Curtis. He will accept the appointment MENAGE OF THE BUBONIC PLAGUE TO UNITED STATES Fort 'Vt'orth, Texas, May 4.—Dr. W. C. Rucker, assistant surgeon general of the Public Health Service, before the State Medical Association here to day told of the world-wide ramifica tions of bubonic plague and its men ace to the United States. The plague, i he said, follows main travelled roads, spreads along less beaten paths to the remote ends of the earth and goes from one country to another more frequent ]y by water than by land. “Taking the Hawaiian Islands, where plague was found last August, as a central point,” Dr. Rucker continued, j "plague exists in Seattle, 2.409 miles away; in California, 2.09J miles dis 1 taut; in Yokohoma, 2,445 miles away; j in Hongkong. 4.857 miles away, and in Shanghai, a little over 5,000 miles dis tant. Thus our entire Pacific Coast is threatened by plague from the Ori ent. The Pacific Coast is also men aced by the disease in Ecuador and Peru, a little over 4,000 miles away from San Francisco. “The entire Gulf Coast is menaced by plague in Havana, 760 miles from j Galveston, 601 miles from New Or leans, 224 miles from Tampa, and 92 miles from Key ’West. The disease was found among rats in New Orleans no longer ago than March 9, 1915. On account of the chaos in Mexico, it is impossible to state whether plague exists in her Gulf ports. I “The Atlantic Coast is not only threatened with importation of plague from the eastern coast of South Am i erica., hut from European, African and i Asiatic ports. Less than 5,000 miles j from New York, plague is found in i Brasil, at Pernambuco, Pahia and Rio de Janeiro. In the Mediterranean lit* toral, plague is found in Tripoli, Greece, Egypt, and at Port Said, one of the world's gateways. Practically all of the great ports of British India, except Calcutta, are infected. Ran I goon, Madras, Colombo, Bombay and Karachi report its presence and from I Karachi it has extended up into the j Persian Gulf. Singapore, Surabaya. Mauritius. Zanzibar, Queenstown in South Africa and Dakar in Sonogals all have plague Directly or indirectly our country is in commercial communica tion with all of the infected places mentioned. It must be admitted that as plague is a disease of rodents which travel around the world in ships, the i United States must consider herself as seriously menaced by bubonic plague.” Dr. Rucker contended that there was no reason to believe the disease does not exist in other ports and that the i search for it had been either neglected or half-heartedly conducted. That, he said, applies to the United States as well as to other countries. As to prevention, he said, the first line of defense was maritime quaran tine, which might prove a disastrous interference with commerce and “at i best a makeshift”; second, rat guards, I and other measures at the wharves to i prevent embarkation or disembarks I tion of rats; third, immunization of human beings, “a weak reed to lean j upon”; and fourth, the only reliable i defense, rat-proofing man's working and living environment. He said no modern city could regard rat-proofing as a luxury. Rat-proof cities and oc cupants of rat-proof premises need have no fear of the plague, he said.

The cost of put ting it on is about two^tlsnfs of the job. If Bevoe doesn’t wear a year or years or three years or four years longer distinctly longer and better—we’ll give yo®j enough to do it again. But we warn you how it will all turnout. The best hal| of your job will cost you so much less than the other half, and| wear so much better too, that you'll never divide it again. You won’t get your paint free, you’ll gets what is better. You’ll know Devoe; Ycull know strong paint, you'il know weak paint;! and the question is settled. J. If. COGAN CO., Augusta. Concert and Exhibition of Modern Dancing BY PUPILS OF J.

OPERA HOUSE. •'Tess of the Storm Country," Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, With Matinees Tuesday and Wednesday. “Tess of the Storm Country,” the opening play of the stock company which will commence an engagement here next Monday, was well received by Lewiston audiences last Monday as the following clipping from a Lewiston paper will show: “Tess of the Storm Country” made a big hit at the Empire last night and thifc afternoon. Miss Nesmith as Tess and the cast that supported her were excellent. The i stage settings were elaborate and the play was a favorite from the first curtain. The directing of Bernard Steele who is producing these plays, is commented upon as fine. The homely philosophy of this piece and the charm of the rude Lakeside peo ple set in wild and strange settings make the piece worth seeing. Seats will go on sale Frida;, morn ing and popular prices will prevail.— I Adv. STATE HOUSE Greenville Lighting Question Settled. The complaint of Harry A. Sanders and other citizens of Greenville atumst I the Greenville Light and Power Com pany has been dismissed by action of j the Public T'tilities -Commission, the hearing having l>een held on April 1, Charles W Hayes appearing as coun- j sel for the complainant and Henry! Hudson. Esq.. for the respondent. In the complaint it was alleged that the charges for light and power in Greenville were higher than in other j towns of the State for the same serv ic-e. and that the minimum rates for lighting and the kilowatt hours for lights and small motors have been re- j cently doubled. The law provides that schedule of rates not higner than those in force on I Jan. 1, 1912, be filed with the commit- j sion; but it was found upon investiga- I tion that in the schedule filed by the Greenville Light and Power Company j the rates were above those of Jan. 1, 11112. The commissioners brought the matter to the attention of the com- pany and the rates have been adjusted i to conform to a legal schedule. There fore it is claimed that the petitioners 1 hate no further grounds for com j plaint. Game Law Prosecution. Chief Game Warden F. E.
