I., May 21.—With the Atlantic coast north of Cape Hatteras still under mimic threat of attack by hostile ships today. Admiral Fletcher had deployed the Atlantic fleet to cov er most of the important strategic points of defejice. Notable among the maneuvers in the war game was the use of Cape Cod canal which cuts off the 70-mile trip around the Cape and affords access to Buzzards bay and the important naval district of Nar ragansett bay. Several submarines were sighted off Cape Cod during the day, presumably guarding the sea en trance of the canal against possible approach by Rear Admiral Beatty's fleet of supposed hostile. “The submarine strength of the fleet of defence has been definitely re duced by at least two. The E-2, with a broken crankshaft was towed here today by the tender Tallahassee, and the K-l is already repairing an en gine. Another submarine is reported under repairs at the Brooklyn navy yard. F-4 IS LIFTED AT LAST FROM OCEAN BOTTOM I Washington, May 21.—The subma rine F-4, lost in Honolulu harbor with 19 lives nearly two months ago, has at last been lifted clear of the ocean's bottom but naval officers have no assurances that the first gale will not part the cables again. Whether the cause of her loss can be determined after such a long period is doubtful. STRICT ENFORCEMENT OF LIQUOR LAWS IN SAGADAHOC COUNTY Bath, Me., May 21.—(Special).—Ac cording to information received by Sheriff Wilbur C.

This is considered a most re markable record and an eloquent tes timonial as to the accomplishment of strict enforcement of the prohibitory law. ROOSEVELTBARNES JURY DEADLOCKED One Juror Holding Out for Defendant to Pay Half Costs of Syracuse Trial

Pres. Wilson Has Another Grandchild Baby Girl Born to Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G. McAdoo Washington, May 21.—A baby girl, the second grandchild of President Wilson, was born tonight to Secretary and 'Mrs. William Adoo. She will be christened Ellen Wilson, after Mrs. Woodrow Wil son. The secretary and Mrs. McAdoo, who is the President's youngest daughter, were married in the Blue room at the White House just a year ago. Mr. Mc Adoo went to his office at the treasury department today for the first time since he was operated upon for appendicitis nearly two months ago. The President was at the McAdoo home when his granddaughter was born. Washington, May 21.—At the con clusion of five days of argument. Justice McCoy of the District Su preme Court took under advisement today the motion of the government to dismiss the suit brought by tha Riggs National Bank to enjoin Sec retary McAdoo, comptroller of the Currency Williams and Treasurer Burke from alleged unlawful persecu tion of the bank. Relief sought by the plaintiff pend ing litigation was denied by the court, except as to the payment into the treasury of $5000 interest on bonds due the bank and withheld to cover penalties imposed by the comptroller for failure to furnish certain report. A temporary restraining order against the payment of this money into the treasury was granted at the outset of the proceedings and the court later will pass upon the question of con tinuing it. Justice McCoy indicated that he would occupy some time considering the case, but would endeavor to dis pose of it before July 1. In denying the prayer for an injunction pending litigation, he said that without con sidering what evidence might hereaf ter be presented, there was nothing *n the record before him now which showed the government officials had exercised arbitrary power or power arbitrarily in regard to the refusal to select the Riggs Bank as a reserve agency. "It seems to me on the record as it stands that the government officials would fce remiss In their duty in se lecting It as an agent for new appli cant banks,” said the justice. "The evidence here is of persistent viola tions of the law and these violations did not begin when Mr. Williams came into office and they have con tinued to this day.” The court also considered on the record as now made up the charge that Secretary McAdoo showed no malice In an interview in his office with Riggs hank officials. The jus tice said it appeared to him that the malice was rather "On the other side.’’ SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES To Wind Up Bank’s Affairs. A minority of stockholders Thursday started proceedings to secure the ap pointment of a receiver for the Mou sam River Trust Co., a banking insti tution which has been doing business in Sanford since 19X2. Bank Commis sioner Irving E. Vernon was present at a stockholders’ meeting there Thursday afternoon when the matter of winding up the bank's affairs was discussed.

Y., May 21.—The jury in the trial of William Barnes’ suit for libel against Theodore Roosevelt was deadlocked tonight, after once having returned a conditional verdict in favor of the former President which supreme court Justice Wil ms and Andrews refused to receive. condition whi^h made the verdict .nproper that the trifling court costs and disbursements should be divided between the two principals in the ac tion. That the jury would be held over until Monday, should it fail to find a proper verdict by tomorrow was con sidered improbable by attorneys con ne' d with the case. The juror an nounced in substance that if the costs were not evenly divided he returned a verdict for the plaintiff. The ques tion of putting the costs on one of the parties had been under discussion for 10 hours. Jury In Court The jury was in court twice today. Soon after Justice Andrews opened court this morning he received a note from the jurors informing him that “A peculiar situation had arisen” and asking that he confer with them in the jury room. Justice Andrews had the jury brought into court and in formed them that anything he could rightly do to aid them in reaching a decision must be done in open court. The jurors whispered among them selves and then requested' that they be .allowed to return to their room for further deliberation. Nearly one hour afterward word came from the jury room that a decision had been reach ed. Justice Andrews warned the spectators that any demonstration would be met with prompt punish ment, and then the jury filed in. (Continued on Page 9—Column 2) JOHN D., JR. HAS CLASHES WITH WALSH IN TESTIMONY Tells of Conditions in Colorado Fields Washington, May 21.—Frequent sharp clashes between John D. Rocke feller, Jr., and Chairman Walsh mark ed today's session of the Industrial Relations Commission with Mr. Rock efeller again on the stand testifying about conditions in the Colorado coal fields. Although two members of the commission had protested against what they regarded as the hostile at titude of the chairman, Mr. Walsh throughout the day put the witness through a grilling examination, time after time arousing him to expres sions of resentment. Demands Rights Mr. Rockefeller demanded that he be accorded rights given other wit nesses. and firmly insisted that Chair man Walsh was seeking to inject in to his questions implication against the Colorado Fuel Iron Co., and its officers. Some questions he declined to answer, as improper and others he characterized as useleess. Chairman Walsh was the sole ex aminer today, other members taking no part in the questioning. Mr. Rockefeller will be on the stand again tomorrow. Before the session began the commission held an executive session at the instance of Commis sioners Weinstock and Mrs. J. Bor den Harriman who frankly informed Chairman Walsh that they believed the attitude he assumed yesterday toward Mr. Rockefeller had the ap pearance of hostility. Mr. Walsh Explains Mr. Walsh said he had no intention of displaying hostility but that he was unusually interested in affairs connected with the Colorado strike and naturally could not restrain a tendency to conduct the examination vigorously. He informed his col leagues, moreover that he was deter mined to conduct the examination as he saw fit. Later, in the open hear ing the chairman emphatically told Mr. Rockefeller he was running the examination and did not propose to be dictated to by the witness. Mr. Rockefeller arrived at the hear ing room with a prepared statement based on disclosure yesterday that one of the jurors who convicted John R. Lawson, a member of the executive committee of the United Mine Work ers of murder, had exclusive sales privileges in the Colrado Fuel Iron Co. camps. Mr. Walsh had appealed to (Continued on Pago 9—Column 2) STATE OF WAR BETWEEN ITALY AND FORMER ALLIES ^_ No Formal Declaration Yet Made But All the Moves Guided by Accepted Fact-Serbia Starts Another Invasion of Austria Thus Closing Up Fourth Side of Attack-Rumania Understood to Be Ready to Act with Italy ^Greece and Bulgaria May Precede Rumania RUSSIANS STUBBORNLY RESISTING FURTHER ADVANCE BY THE TEUTONS London, May 21.—10.55 P. M.—A state of war now vir tually exists between Italy and her former allies, Austria and Germany, although no formal declaration has yet been made. It appears the Austrians consider that a state of war al ready exists. They have withdrawn their troops and customs guards from the frontier at Ponte Caffaro and Lodrone after destroying the bridges, the telegraph and the telephone lines and the electric light apparatus. Other bridges on the front ier have been mined. Austrian and German forces of heavy artillery are concentrating on the frontier at Trent, Bozen and Mema, movements of considerable bodies of troops are also reported from Munich. Great numbers of Italian troops are massed along the frontier, and while the Italian authorities are guarding the movements of troops with great secrecy it is known that some 350,000 men have been concentrated on the coast of Italy across the Adriatic from Albania. The Austrian troops have been withdrawn from some of the frontier posts and all navigation services in the Adriatic have been suspended—indfcations that the clash is not far off. The Italian Senate today endorsed the-action of the r.hamVr in granting the government extraordinary powers in the event of war for which the whole country appears to be enthusias tic. Simultaneously with the anticipated advent of Italy into the war, Serbia’s re-constituted army has fully recovered from the campaigns which resulted in the Austrians being driven from Serbia and well armed and equipped, it is announced, has commenced a march toward the Austrian border, bent on an other invasion of Austrian terriotry. Thus Austria is being attacked from all sides and has still another enemy, Rumania, in prospect for it has long been an open secret that Italy and Rumania have an agreement to act in concert. Rumania, however, is awaiting the consummation of an agreement with Greece and Bulgaria which are also expected to join the Allies before she takes up arms. These anticipations explain the tremendous efforts that Austria and Germany are making to complete the defeat of the Russians, who, having been forced out of Western Galicia and the Carpathians, now are offering stubborn resistance to the further advance of the Teutonic Allies behind the San river and around Przemysl. Although the Germans have crossed the San north of Przemysl and the Austrians have advanced to the southeast of that town, they appear at last to have been brought to a halt as today’s report from Berlin does not claim any further progress. Just to the north in Poland, the Russians are carrying on a strong offensive and, driving the Germans back, have at least partly exhausted the German flank in Galicia. Thorough Preparation by The Italians with Military Camps Awaiting Command Udine, Italy, via Chiasso to Paris, May 21, 6.40 P. M.-From the Alps which are still covered with snow be tween fir forests, down to the sea, where the grape vines for miles of fes toons, the whole vast region has been transformed into a huge military en campment. Everywhere are tents, guns, carriages and flags and at all points in this section there is the In tense activity which marks a military camp. In the extended plains of Friuli, stretching along the sea, Italians en trenched along the frontier can see the ruins of Aquileia, a second Rome, founded by the Romans in 181 B. C. This city which was 20 miles In cir cumferance and had 600,000 Inhabi tants, formed a bulwark against the Celts and Isthrians. The Italian army officers have great difficulty restraining the soldiers from crossing the frontier here, the men being anxious to re conquer Friuli from which came Be rengarius, the first King of Italy. Alpine Soldiers Ready The troops most anxious to fight are the Alpine soldiers, who are of the the same type as the French Alpine soldiers. The men num ber 60,000 and they have been chosen from among the strongest and bravest of the mountaineers. They are com manded by a selected set of officers who know all the secrets of the snow capped boundaries. The Alpine troops occupy all the passes, the motto be ing “No admittance through here.” Four of the best known Italian gen erals commanding the army corps are here working throughout each day and part of the night with the assistance of their staffs. These men are Generals Frugones, who distinguished himself in Libia; I. Zuccari, who is much ad mired by the troops; Nava, well known for his energy and Brusali, a brother of Gen. Besozzi and Bertotti, who have seen service in Tripoli; Reisoll, who is most anxious for a forward movement, and Spaccamela, famous for his spe cial movable fortifications. Possible Moves The general opinion Is that it would be almost impossible for decisive action through the well fortified Alpine regions of the province of Trent, where an at tack would have as its only object the keeping there of a large contingent of hostile troops. Far the same lesson a (Continued on Page 9—Column 2} ORDER IN COUNCIL IGNORED Action of U. S. in Aid ing Cotton Interests Threatened by Brit ish Blockade Tactics Should Not Be Con strued as Recognition Says Administration SEC’Y BRYAN GIVES OUT A STATEMENT Washington, May 21.—President Wil son and his cabinet met today for the first time since they gathered 10 days ago and approved the note which the United States subsequently sent to Germany as a protest against the sink ing of the Lusitania with the loss of more than 100 American lives. In the absence of any definite news from Berlin, there was no discussion, It was understood of the probable con tents of the reply which Germany Is preparing. When the cabinet met there had been published here a memorandum given out In London by the British foreign office saying the arrangements being made by Great Britain with American cotton interests for disposition of their cargoes were understood to be accept able to the United States. Later Sec retary Bryan gave out a statement de claAng that whatever had been done by representatives of the state depart ment to assist was not to be construed as a recognition of the "order in coun cil.” Issued by Great Britain Mistake Claimed Tonight, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador issued a state ment explaining that this was also his understanding and suggesting that there had been some mistake In tele graphic transmission or erroneous impressions had been given British officials in London by representatives of the American cotton interests there. The United States has never received a reply to Its note of March 30 In which the British order in council proclaiming an embargo on all neutral commerce directly or Indirectly with Germany was declared to be a viola tion of international law. in view of the continued detentions of American cargoes under the order in council, a note was prepared a week before the Lusitania disaster occurred which is to be sent to the Allies as soon as further date on interference wjth Am erican shipping can be secured. In some official quarters there has been a disposition to urge the dispatch of the note to Great Britain at this time. There was but brief discussion of the question today among cabinet officials as President Wilson had previously (Continued on Page 9—Column 3) WE GO TO FRANC8 for our finest toilet powder.

OUTBREAK AGAINST LORD KITCHENER NEWESTPHASE IN MINISTERIAL CRISIS GREAT BRITAIN FACES London. May Zl-—One of the most 1 remarkable features of the ministerial crisis in Great Britain at the present moment, is the sudden outbreak, more or less severe, of newspaper attacks upon Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, the British secretary of war. who at the outbreak of the war was the na tion's military idol and was loudly proclaimed by these same newspapers as the only man in the country for the position of war secretary. Severs Press Comment The Daily Mail and other newspa pers under the same ownership have been most violent in these attacks, even going so far as to call into ques tion the military genius of the field marshal. The Daily Mail says: “It never has been pretended that Kitchener is a soldier in the sense that Field Marshai Sir John French is a soldier. Kitchener is a gatherer of men and a 'very fine gatherer, too, but his record in the South African var as a fighting genera! apart from bis excellent organizing work as chief of staff, was not brilliant. "Nothing in Kitchener's experience suggests that he has the Qualifica tions required for conducting a Eu ropean campaign in the field and we can only hope that no such misfortune will befall this nation as that he should be permitted to interfere with the actual strategy of this gigantic war.” Proceedings to accuse Lord Kitch ener of having •'ordered the wrong kind of shell" the Daily Mail assert* that "desptte repeated warnings that a high explosive shell was required Lend Kitchener persisted in sending shrapnel such as he used against thc Boers, thus causing the deaths of thousands of British soldiers and in cidental!;.- bringing about a cabinet crisis/' Laud Sir John French After lauding the military strategic skill of Sir John French and his chief of staff. Sir William Robertson, the Daily Mail adds' “If by any chance Kitchener went to France to conduct the campaign w» should, probably, have a costly object lesson in the difference between Afri can and European warfare. It is to be hoped that Kitchener, with proper and necessary assistance, will remain at, the war office, though when the inevi table compulsory service comes his sphere of usefulness will be greatly diminished.'’ Other newspapers in a less outspok en manner, seek to reduce Lord Kitch ener's value to that of a good revcruit ing -Seer, or they excuse him on the ground of being to much occupied in producing recruiting advertisements to attend to the supply of proper ammuni tion. The Times in an editorial article says: “Our armies in the field require rein forcements and shells of the right kind. Neither has been provided in adequate quantities, for the simple reason that Lord Kitchener's orders were given too late. Plain warnings were disregarded and the nation was lullled into a false se curity by misleading official reports with the result that thousands of Brit ish lives were sacrificed in an unequal contest. Not To Be Repeated "The nation will not allow that situa tion to recur. It must be set right and be set right quickly, or the consequences will be swift and startling. Tne whole trouble arose because Lord K:ichener assumed a burden to which no man could have proved equal.” The Times then forcibly urges that the business of supplying army shells and other necessaries of war be given into other hands. While some newspapers are thus ai rr.ost calling fer Lord Kitchener's retire ment, other organs like the Morning Post and Laily News protest that a “dead set' has been made against him. The M or rung Post says: ■•The new government will cot likely be so fooiish as to throw over the man whose presence has held the confidence of the nation ar.d of our fighting forces since the beginning of the war. but will rather seek to support and co-operate with Lord Kitchener and ta.-:e from his overburdened shoulders the secondary work cl reorganizing the country’s indus trial resources, so as to supply the army with adequate supplies and munitions.” The Daily News editorially protests in the strongest language against what it terms a press campaign against Lord Kucher, “organized by some of the news papers who at the beginning of the war forced him upon the country.” THE GERMAN POINT OF VIEW AT TURN OF EVENTS IN ITALY Amsterdam. Via London. May 21 6 05 A. II.—It became increasingly clear after the death of Marquis San Giuliar.o. says the Norddeutsche All gemeine Zeitung of Berlin in giving a history of the negotiations with It aly. that strong forces were at work in Rome to wring special advantages from Austria-Hungary in exchange for maintenance of neutrality by It aly. Germany, therefore, made every effort to bring about a riendlv agree ment between the two countries but from the beginning negotiations were made difficult because Italy insisted territorial concessions should take ef fect immediately. Italy’s First Demands Italy first made known her demands on April 11. They included the ab solute renunciation by Austria of Trent, including the German town of Bozen: a redajustment of the front ier along the Isonze river; the in clusion of Triest in a new independ ent state and the cession of the Cur zolari archipelago, together with rec ognition of her supreme Interests in Albania. In return Italy is said to have offer ed a lump sum of S-50.00.000 for debt redemption and engaged to remain neutral as long as the war lasted. Germany did its utmost to induce Italy to moderate its claims, as it beiieved the unconditional acceptance of them would have affronted serious ly the interests and dignity of Aus tria. Triple Alliance Broken While negotiations were still pend ing, however, the Italian ambassador at Vienna presented on May 4 an un expected declaration that Italy re garded the Triple Alliance as having been broken by Austria's proceedings against Serbia in August. The am bassador declared he had been in structed to withdraw all offers made by his government. With regard to Germany, the Italian government con fined itself to bringing to the knowl edge of Berlin the declaration pre sented at Vienna on May “Breach of Faith" “The Iasi attempt to prevent our lormer ally" says the newspaper, “from Joining our enemies was made on May 10 by considerably extended promises on the part of Austria-Hun gary, which the imperial chancellor read in the Reichstag on the 18th. After the presentation of these ne gotiations, no Green Book can alter the fact that if Italy takes up arms against her previous allies she will be guilty o a breach of faith and trust and will be acting In order to gain increased power, which was offered the Italian people with all possible guarantees, voluntarily, without blood shed.” ITALIANS IN UNITED STATES NOT CALLED Washington, May 21.—Italians in the United States probably will not be called back to the colors unless the European war is to continue for anoth er year. Italian officers here believe Italy has sufficient men in her home army to maintain a vigorous offensive against Austria. The possibility that Italy's entrance in the war may compel peace in anoth er six months is suggested in Italian quarters here as a reason for with holding any call for reservists resid ing in foreign countries until the ne-j cesalty for them shall become appar ent through the development of mili tary operations. DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IS SUSPENDED London. May 21, 12.54 P. M.—In a dis patch from Rome the correspondent of the Exchange Telegraph Co. says: "Premier Salandra. this morning ob tained the royal signature to a decree suspending the diplomatic immunity of the Austrian and German ambassadors to the Vatican, who leave tomorrow.”

SPAIN PROBABLLY WILL CARE FOR I ITALY’S INTERESTS j Rome. May 20, 10.25 P. M., via Paris. May 21, 5.55 A. M.—The Tribuna says the Italian government has not yet decided what neutral country will be asked to protect the intersts of Ital ians in Germany after war is declared, but predicts thta it will be Spain.

If you happen to be a live boy on a Maine farm, with good red blood in your veins, you will be Interested ir something we have to tell you. II you could get a fine full blood, regis tered Berkshire pig, without a cent ol immediate outlay, as a starter in rais ing a better grade of stock, what would you do about it? If you could feed the pig and do your best with :t for six months or a year and then dis pose of it, sending only the original cost of $5 to the organization, wouldn’t you think it a pretty fair proposition? Or, if you wished to keep the pig for breeding purposes for any length of time, paying six per cent, interest on the $5 loaned you in the pig, wouldn’t you carefully look into the proposition? A scheme of that sort is b.eing worked out in Maine. Indeed it is already being tried out, for Elmer Taylor, son of Frank Taylor, Win throp, is in possession of such a pig un >.r the terms outlined. He will see what he can do in the pig raising business. The first pig was bought with money furnished by a public-spirited business man of Augusta, rvho has become interested in the plan, and in vested in two shares of stock of the organization. The aim is to arouse a new and broader interest in Maine in the raising of higher grades of stock of all kinds. The organization is known as the ‘‘Nenghborhood Association,’’ incor porated under Maine law, for $23,000. This company has adopted the plan of the Kittle Rock Chamber of Com merce, Arkansas, as that best adapted to the needs of this State. Two shares of stock are sold to a business man, for $3 each. Five dollars of this is loaned at 6 per cent, to a child in Maine selected with the help of the agricultural demonstrators in eacii county to buy a blooded pig, lamb or chickens; this loan to be repaid when the animal is sold, all other profit be longing to the child. Wjith the other $5 a model kitchen is being prepared for the Maine State Exposition which in July and August will be carried through the State on wheels, to demonstrate to the women the value of modern appliances, to stimulate trade and help in the cam paign to keep retail trade at home. As many classes of stores enter into the kitchen—hardware, plumbing, dry goods, groceries, etc., each will bo benefited by the cooperation the kit then will have with the national manufacturer and advertiser. We are informed that the Agricul tural Department of Maine is so far interested in the aim of the plan, as to be carefully looking into it. Should indorsement be given it is safe to as sume that many business men would gladly purchase shares with the ob ject of interesting farm boys and of starting them right. We hope it is as good as it looks on the outside. We also hope that granges and lead ing farmers will look into the plan, and that if any of these boys ask ad vice from the Department of Agri culture, Agricultural school or ad vanced farmers, it will be promptly and cheerfully given. One of the first things. Maine farm boys should grasp, and cling to, is the fact that it costs no more to keep a COOD cow or a GOOD pig or a GOOD strain of poultry, than it does to keep scrub stock. Let us encour age pig clubs and Jersey clubs and Holstein clubs, or any other means of populating Maine farms with higher giv.de stock of all kinds. Alcohol in War. The European War. subjecting mil lions of men to the irregularities and exposures of life in field and camp, has naturally revived interest in and furnished new material for the dis cussion of many old problems. Among these problems is that connected witli the use of alcohol by the soldiers, says the Journal of American Medical Association. The time has passed when alcoholic liquors are to be re garded as inseparable from warfare and essential for military activities. Efficiency is now' the prime considera tion. Since the last great w’ar, sci entific research has- greatly increased our knowledge of the effects of alco hol on the human body. While the physiologist has not as yet spoken the last word on this subject, the overwhelming preponderance of sci entific evidence is in favor of the propostion that the use of alcohol, in any amounts, large or small, tends to impair coordination, to dull the spe cial senses, to retard muscular and nervous reactions and mental process es, and to reduce efficiency in any work requiring rapid and accurate mental or physical effort. The qttes .UfaajsUH atm to diTgniBiuii is wheth cr, in times of unusual exposure, strain and exertion, the temporarily stimulating: effects of alcohol are suf ficiently valuable to compensate for its undesirable results. Evidently the military authorities of Europe think so, or are still Influenced by custom or tradition, since in each army the regulation ration if alcohol is still provided. The physiologic effects of alcohol on military efficiency would probably not be so clearly apparent in the army as in the navy. The modern battleship, cruiser and submarine have become marvels of mechanical complexity and delicacy. The soldier in the trenches might take the maxi mum German ration of 70 grams of alcohol a day without impairing his ability to handle his rifle or manipu late a machine gun. Whether the members of the aviation corps, the artillerymen charged with handling the heavy guns, or the signal men, on whose quickness and accuracy of vision much might depend, could maintain the highest efficiency on a daily allowance of alcohol remains to be proved. There is abundant testi mony on the part of naval experts ta show that alcohol diminishes the ac curacy of the gun pointer on the bat tleship and so reduces the number of probable hits. "Dutch courage” ha3 heretofore been regarded as an indis pensable equipment of warfare, and alcohol has been looked on as the ally rather than the enemy of the fighting man; but the present war will reverse the opinions of the civilized world on a good many questions, and it is pos sible that the indispensability of alco hol in the army may be one of them. The “Peter Radford” Bureau. The “free” publicity bureau news paper advertising bums, about whom we have written before, numbers among its chief nuisances in news paper offices, one Peter Radford, na tional lecturer Farmers’ Union. Pages of subsidized stuff are sent “free” and newspaper editors are urged to "co operate in developing the service to a high standard of usefulness.” A page of this "free” plate material was re ceived at the Kennebec Journal office yesterday. It seems to have been largely made “free” to newspapers from the funds of the anti-suffrage association. While it claims to be “impassionate discussion of both sides of important economic questions,” it partakes of the nature of fairness of rum trust “statistics.” Here is a specimen paragraph from a leading article: “God pity our country when the hand shake of the politician is more gratify ing to woman’s heart than the patter of children's feet." Aside from the plain idiocy of at tempting to “educate" the farming population with such sophistry, is the hypocrisy of established bureaus ready to sell themselves to the high est bidder in the business of sneaking advertising. There are other cants of this “free educational’’ matter just as pernicou3 and should be shown up to the public, for many papers, particularly the small country weeklies, do not seem to grasp the underruning evil in the guise of honest discussion. We hope the suffrage association will get after the Peter Radford advertising bureau.

The Wilton Masons are making fine headway toward a new Masonic build ing having on Thursday bought the three-story Dascomb block and will have it remodelled for the use of the lodge. Miss Charlotte Thomas of Portland on Thursday May 20, celebrated the 93d anniversary of her birth by giving a reception in the afternoon and even ing at the historic Thomas mansion. Miss Thoma* was busy during all that time receiving guests. A deluge of let ters, telegrams and telephone calls were also received, besides many beau tiful flowers. Miss Thomas' health seems perfect and she is pleased to say that she will live to see Woman suffrage in Maine. The price of good potato stock dropped Wednesday at Presque Isle to 25 cents per barrel, an unheard of price before. Miss Laura Tolman, violoncellist, of Boston has rented ‘‘Greenwood Villa” at Harrison, Me., from her aunt, Mrs. Walter Dudley, formerly Anna Tolman. The old mansion was built many years ago by Miss Tolman’s grandfather, Hon. Philander Tolman. Miss Tolman intends to raise a very rare breed of pigs, such as has never before been in the State. The report of G. F. Snow, general agent of the Bangor Aroostook R. R. shows that there are 2-1 more in dustries operating on the B. A. sys tem this spring, than there were at this time last year, indicating an in creased prosperity in one direction, notwithstanding the potato market, which brought considerable hardship to Aroostook county. The report shows that there are now in operation S7 plants against 63 last spring. Hon. William D. Pennell of Lewis ton, has generously offered two prizes to be awarded at the end of the bass- ball season to the two boys on the Lewiston High school team who have j shown their superirity over the others in playing the games. The first prize is $15 In gold, the second prize is $5 in gold. The decision as to the win ners of these prizes will be based upon certain conditions which will make the choice fair to all. Hatching eggs on the mantel shelf behind the kitchen stove is a feat that Mrs. Charles Smith of Grafton accom plished last week, and she has three fine looking little chicks. Three weeks ago Mrs. Smith got three eggs, wrap ped them in cotton batting and placed them on the shelf behind the stove. She tended carefully to the eggs and turned them ach day until they were hatched. Eastport expects to have a naval gathering during the week of July 4 that will be worth going miles to see. One or more warships are ensured and as Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt has his summer home Just across the harbor, it might seem to those on the inside that Eastport w'ill be well taken care of on the national holiday, and every body hopes she will. Allen F. Lantz of Boston, aged about 17 years, who several weeks ago left his home in The Hub for a sight seeing expedition to the wilds of Maine in company with two older Boston boys, was a happy youngster Wednesday noon when he was hand ed a ticket back to Boston by Ticket Agent W. W. Flynt of the Maine Cen tral station in Foxcroft. Young Lantz had about all of Maine scenery that he could easily digest and was perfectly willing to return to Boston despite the fact that his father might be waiting for him with a broom handle.

She says she would rather have the property sold at a less figure in' order th^t this intention should be carried out, but she does not want any restrictions placed in the deed of trans fer. Numerous bequests are made in the will of Mrs. Curtis, only one of which, however, is of a public nature. This leaves $200 to the Pejepscot His torical society of Brunswick for the purpose of making a correct catalogue of relics collected by interested mem bers of the society. Small bequests are made to relatives and the residue of the property is bequeathed to William K. Neal of Portland, who is named as executor. The estate is valued at $7000, equally divided between real and per sonal property. A correspondent of the Biddeford Journal calls attention to the fact that in none of the notices of the death of Anthony F. Wilding, who was killed in action in the Dardanelles region, has there been any mention of him as the husband of Maxine Elliott, the noted actress and a Maine woman. The rec ords show that they were married in Nice, France, in March, 1913. A large hydro-aeroplane was seen sailing down the coast last Friday evening, headed for Boston, reports the Old Orchard News, which remarks that with the rapidly growing advancement of the sport of air-sailing, it is by no means impossible that private airships may soon become as customary sights as private yachts. The selectmen of Old Orchard are starting the season with a “heap big” lot of good resolutions. The latest no tices served on the public include in substance: Take down all signs over the sidewalks and streets; remove all stovepipes used as chimneys and re place them with tile or brick. They also deprecate the violation of respect and decency by people opening their store.s on Sunday, and feel that it should be stopped. “We see no call for this haste to do business out of season and do not see why anyone should be allowed to come here and do what they cannot do in the places where they come from.

Editorial Comment Thoma* H. Hubbard. (New York Globe.) The career of General Thomas H. Hubbard, whose life of rich useful ness has come to an end, was typical ly American. He displayed through out it the adaptatiMlity that is among the most precious of- American char acteristics. In his early manhood he was a soldier of valor and resource fulness; in his middle life a lawyer of distinction, and in his later years a financier who showed that rigid ad herence to the old standards of honor was compatible with conspicuous suc cess. And during all his years, find ing time for general service to the country and the community, he was a citizen of the highest type, giving his time and his support to the pro motion of public causes. His name is imperishably associated with the dis covery of the North Pole. The young men of his native State will always be his debtor through his gifts and work for Bowdoin. Among his monuments is the canon of ethics of the American Bar Association, which he was large ly instrumental in formulating. We need not fear for our country as long as it affords soil for the development of men of the quality of General Hub bard. Benefits of the War. (Bangor Commercial.) As necessity is the mother of in vention, it is fair to assume that when the war comes to an end it will be found that the world is much richer in many ways as science has been spur red to great accomplishments under the needs of war, discoveries that na tions have kept to themselves for fear that otherwise they would be giving assistance to the enemy. Perhaps .the greatest developments will be found in aviation and indeed the lead ing French manufacturer of aero planes states that because of knowl edge acquired since the common ce ment of the war, flight by aviators across the Atlantic has been made possible. Doubtless the demonstra tion will not come before the con clusion of the conflict. Italy and a Scrap of Paper. (New York Sun.) The position of Italy has been diffi cult and must have seemed inglorious to the mass of her people. To the irresistible pressure of popular feel ing the monarchy, to save itself, if for no other reason, has at last to yield. Long Italian hatreds and old hopes have been quickened; German methods of warfare have added to the flame; and what trust could be put In concessions promised by Aus tria-Hungary. the mere echo of the imperious will of Germany? It is not wholly a question of adequacy; It Is a question of fulfilment. The Italians cannot but Interpret Austrian offers according to German actions. What engagement, what ob ligation, what pact can be believed to bind the nation that invaded Lux emburg and Belgium in the face of treaties, henceforth to be esteemed by its scraps of paper? The one able German diplomatist. Von Bulow. staved off the evil day for a time; but his Government had made the result inevitable. Germany is already reap ing the harvest of her broken word. Nice Boost for Kittory, Me, Navy Yard. (Portsmouth, N. H., Chronicle.) This newspaper has taken pleasure in doing its share towards boosting Portsmouth. It has allowed nothing to stand in its way to further the in terests of the Portsmouth Navy Yard. Be Just Before You’re Generous Provide for the future of your loved ones and yourself rather than generously spend all you earn now. How else can you be just. It is unnecessary to go into scientific discussion of this question. Com mon sense and observation must prove to you the wis dom of an interest-bearing savings bank account. Open it with a dollar and maintain it with the pennies, nickels and dimes you’re in the habit of squandering. Try it. STATE TRUST COMPANY AUGUSTA, MAINE Thomas J. Lynch, Pres. George C. Libby, Trees.

Janl3drf It makes no difference to this news paper what political party Is in power —it offers every encouragement to those at the head that labor honestly and fairly for the Portsmouth Navy Yard. It sees a great future for the yard and it behooves every citizen in Portsmouth and vicinity to do his part for the yard in every way possi ble. Let the men employed on the submarine give the best there is in them and there will be more sub marines to build. May Be Kitchener's Beginning. (Hartford Courant.) It is evident that the Allies are do ing some pretty heavy hammering of the German lines in Belgium anJ northern France and that they are putting a severe strain on the Ger man power of resistance. Although their gains are of sufficient im portance to give encouragement to their soldiers and their governments, they are far from dislodging the in vaders. It is clear, however, either that the Allies have become stronger or that the Germans on their western front have become weaker. It may be necessary for them to relax their pressure upon the Russians in the east in order to present a stronger defense in the west. It may be that the beginning of the war, which Kit chener predicted for May, has now come. If Germany Is Wise— (Hartford Courant.) If Germany takes heed of the memorial prepared at Philadelphia and signed by many prominent citizens of this country, and grants the request that the stricken and impoverished Belgians be relieved of the payment of further Indemnities, she will not only do a just thing bnt will in a measure remove the criticism that the neutral world has been making on ac count of her rapacity and inhumanity.

Comiskey of the Chicago Americans to Induce Connie Mack, manager of the Phila delphia Americans to change his mind regarding selling "Home Run” Baker have proved futile, according to a story printed in Chicago. Mack is said to have repeated his statement that Baker would not be allowed to play with any other team but the Athletics. Besides a big cash price, the Chicago team is said to have been willing to give a pitcher for the third sacker. Bill Donovan says that the High landers have the finest staff of pitch ers in either league. Bill should be a good judge, but he will take his state ment back after looking over the Red Sox’ bunch when they reach New fork on the way back to Boston. A simple course of treatment is ex pected to restore Manager Tinker of the Chicago Federals to his normal Health, according to physicians who examined him Wednesday at Chicago :o ascertain the cause of severe pains n his aide which have kept him out of the game much of the time this season. It was decided a surgical operation would not be necessary. COLLEGE GAMES DARTMOUTH BEATEN BY WESLEYAN 7 TO 4 Hanover, N. H., May 21.—'Wesleyan won a loosely played game from Dart mouth today 7 to 4.

BOXING NOTES McVea of Australia and Sam Wills of New Orleans put up a real battle for 10 rounds Wednesday at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York. McVea's superior generalship gave him the victory, but only after Wills male him realize that he had a stiff wal lop. George Chaney and Johnny Mayo will meet in Baltimore next Monday night. The Atlas A. A. seems to be having a hard time getting an opponent for Mike Glover. The fans are anxious to see him in action and he' should draw as well as any of the boxers.

Features of the Day’s Dealings in Ail the Leading Stocks. New York, May 21.—Developments in the foreign exchange markets today were regarded as of more importance than the day's inconclusive session on the Stock Exchange. Demand sterling fell to 4.78, the lowest rate since our panic of 1873; Francs declined to the lowest quotation within the memory of exchange dealers and Italian remit tances were virtually unsaleable. Lat er in the day, London bills recovered a trifle on rumors that arrangements had been concluded for the release of more gold at Ottawa. In the opinion of experts unless tlfe strain soon Is relaxed, foreign financial conditions will reach the point where most if not all the nations now at war may have to declare a double mone tary standard—gold and paper. Trading in stocks was almost twice as large as in the early days of the week, but the peculiar character of the day’s operations may be appreciated from the fact that a very large percen age of the turn-over was in one of the low priced war specialties—crucible steel— which rose points to its highest price. Bethlehem Steel and Westinghouse gained as much or more and other specialties in the same class were prominent throughout. United States Steel more than held its recent recovery, despite denials of “war contract" rumors. Coppers and a score of unclassified stocks rose 1 to 3 points, best prices being made In the final dealings. Northern Pacific was the only investment issued to manifest heaviness, but minor roads like Mis souri Pacific, Chesapeake Ohio and Rock Island showed increasing weak ness for reasons more or less obvious. Total sales of stocks amounted to 396,000 shares. Bank returns indicating another cash gain were a factor in local money mar kets, call loans declining to 1 per cent., the'lowest quotation in two years. Bonds were heavy in the main, note worthy exceptions being Westinghouse Convertible 5'e and Distillers securities o's, which made material gains. Total sales (par value) were $2,045,000. United States coupon and registered 3’s ad vanced per cent, on call. THE BRADSTREET REVIEW OF TRADE New York, May 21.—Bradstreet’s tomorrow will say: While trade and industrial condi tions continue to move along gener ally favorable lines, the week’s de velopment disclose some irregularity. On the one hand, wet or cool wea ther has checked distribution trade, and especially retail business, and at the same time unsettled international political matters tend to cause whole sale buyers in some lines to go slow while the same factor holds up certain speculative projects. But on the other hand, industry is motf active, employment is increasing and war orders continue to cause extraordi nary speed at a number of centers. Jobbing trade in essential staples ap pears to be on a par mith, if not above last year’s. Mail order houses are do ing well. High prices for cereals in sure prosperity for fanning communi ties and crop conditions notwith standing exaggerated reports of insect damage to winter wheat are unusu ally good. Railway traffic is increas ing, buying of steel by the railroads is larger, bank clearings though lighter than last week display gains over one and two years ago, and in some places collection seems to be better, New York Money Market New York, May 21.

Expecting Ultimatum From Italy To Austria Geneva, May 20, Via Paris, May 21, 5.24 A. M.—An ultimatum from Italy to Austria may be expected tomorrow (Friday) and a declaration of war before the end of the week, accord ing to information received here from Rome. Baron von Macchio, the Austrian ambassador, is expected to leave tomorrow. He and Xaby Bey, the Turkish ambassador, are ready io start at a moment’s notice. Prince von Buelow, the German ambassador wired today to servants awaiting him at. chlasso that he had "postponed his return for a day or two.” There are about 20,000 Italians of military age in Germany and it is said the authorities of the latter coun try are placing every obstacle in the way of their return to the fatherland. Hundreds are being stopped every day on the slightest pretext on the fron tier near Basel. The Swiss government is taking ev ery step possible to maintain its neu trality. A general mobilization will be ordered the day Italy enters the war. OUTLAWS SAID TO HOLD CONTROL IN MEXICO CITY Washington, May 21.—Outlaws in Mex ico City who assaulted the German charge d'affaires Tuesday, now are threatening the lives of other foreigners, according to diplomatic dispatches re ceived here today. One message states that “undescribably loathsome” condi tions prevail and that the government is powerless against bandits. ORDER IN COUNCIL IS IGNORED BY U. S. (Continued From Page One) resolved that the situation with Ger many ought not to be complicated with any new correspondence with Great Britain. He took the positions that the questions raised over the sinking of the Lusitania should be settled on their merits irrespective of other controversities which the United States might hayp with other bellig erents. It is virtually certain there fore that the note to Great Britain will not be sent until after the Ger man reply is received. When asked concerning the proposed note Secretary Bryan said: "We have the subject under considera tion. No new representations have been bade to Great Britain.'' British Blockade That the United States is prepared to controvert further the right of Great Britain to enforce virtually a blockade against neutral countries, detaining car goes of non-contraband, such as cotton consigned to neutral ports irrespective of destination, was the intimation conveyed by Secretary Bryan’s statement regard ing the British foreign office memoran dum. Bryan’s Statement Secretary’ Bryan’s statement follows: “The foreign trade advisers’ attention has been called to the statement of the foreign office of Great Britain published in this morning’s papers, an extract from which follows: ‘Fourth—In accepting this scheme, which it may be noted applies to ship ments of cotton for a neutral destination only, the principal representative of the American cotton interests described it to His Majesty’s ambassador at Wash ington as conceding all that the Ameri can interests could properly ask. It was never suggested that vessels or cargoes with an enemy destination should be al lowed to proceed. His Majesty’s govern ment were, moreover, given to under stand that the provisions of the arrange ments were acceptable to the United States government.’ "The plan referred to is the one which was entered into between the cotton shippers of this country and the British embassy, a portion of which is quoted in the statement of the British foreign of fice. "Without discussing at this time the statement that 'It was never suggested that vessels or cargoes with an enemy destination should be allowed to pro ceed,’ the foreign trade advisers, who informally and unofficially represented the cotton shippers in the negotiations which led up to the so-called cotton ar rangements. state that it was distinctly understood between Sir Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice, the British ambassador at Washington, on Robert F. Rose, the for eign trade adviser conducting this discus sion on behalf of the American cotton exporters, that nothing done by the for eign trade advisers should be regarded as official and that everything done was to be considered as informal and unoffi cial and In no way binding the United States government to any arrangement reached, or be construed as a recognition of the Order-in-Council to be issued or the declaration of March 1st which had been Issued. “This statement was made to the Brit ish ambassador on March 3, when the first conference in the matter was held, was repeated at eacn subsequent con ference and each time the absolute as surance from the British ambassador was received that In acting for the cot ton shippers in any way the foreign ad it vlsers were to be regarded as not repre senting the United States government in any manner. The American embassy at London ca bled to the state department today that it had recorder, covering the entire pe riod since war began, the names of 33 ships carrying cargoes of American cot ton, which have been detained by Great Britain. Of these ships the cargoes of eight are before the prize court and 10 have been released with their cargoes, three of them being permitted to go for ward bfore the publication of the British Order-in-Council. The British government, the embassy says, has agreed to purchase all or a part of the cargoes of 13 of the ships de tained. In several cases part of the car go was put into a prize court and part, J the government states, it will purchase. COBURN FACES RICKER TODAY FOR PENNANT Hebron and Higgins Lose in Colby Junior League Games—Race for Championship Ends Today Waterville, Me., May 21—(Special). !’—Splendid stick work on the part of i the Houlton boys, enabled Ricker Classical Institute to hang the belt of Higgins to Its girdle in the prelimina i ries of the Colbuy Junior league on Alumni field, Friday afternoon, to the tune of 11 to 1. Starting off with 11 1 runs in the first three innings, enough to put the game on ice in its early stage, Ricker fielded well and prevent ed attempted batting rallies from ma terializing into anything dangerous. In the second inning, Johnson of Hig gins got a hit, and after stealing a base was able to score on a single by i Joy, who got three of the seven hits i that Higgins made off Ludwig. The j j Ricker twirler did not succeed in I striking out one man. and the sterl- ing support given by his team-mates greatly helped to a victory. Wild throws, two of which were by Faulkner himself helped the Houlton boys in their run getting. Anderson at first helped the other side materi ally by dropping two throws that were easy outs. Two double plays, one by Byron and Tircomb in the sixth, and another by Joy, Anderson and Bland (in the fourth were conspicuous field j ing features. Good of Ricker batted well, obtaining four hits out of five i times at bat. The final game in the championship will be played, Saturday morning at I nine o’clock on alumni field between Ricker and Coburn.

Cobum Trims Hebron Coburn's star reached its zenith Fri day afternoon on Alumni field when it, 'cast tradition to the wind and won a j handsome victory from its old rival, Hebron Academy by the score of 8 to 0, in the Colby Junior Championship j League. Fielding almost faultlessly and rounding up 10 nice bingles from Hall, Hebron's southpaw, who began to weaken in the sixth, the Waterville boys tucked a well-earned victory un der their arms and celebrated in due style. McPhee struck out 11 men and allow ed but five hits to the academy men, who were reputed to be mighty with the stick. Cobum's first run came in, the second inning. Kolseth was passed by Hall. (XBrien hit to the infield, and• Kolseth was thrown out at second on a i fielder's choice. Lord singled and j O'Brien, after stealing second, was able i to reach the plate. An error, a base on balls and a good swat by McPhee sent Kewer and Kolseth across in the sixth. More errors in the seventh and eighth enabled the Coburn boys to run across five more, enough to put the game i easily in their hands. Hebron tried hard to come back, but could not,con nect successfully with McPhee’s shoots. Had not Ham stayed at the plate after Ashworth dropped the third strike, Moore’s coming across the plate in the second would have given the visitors a tally. He reached the plate safely, but the run was declared void because the batter did not start for first. Coburn’s victory gives her a fine chance to win the pennant Saturday morning when she will meet Ricker Classical Institute,*the team that eas ily defeaed Higgins in the first game of the afternoon: The summary: COBURN. ab r bh po a McElwee, 3b .4 0 0 Ashworth, c .5 Fagan, If .5 Kewer, 2b .5 'Kolseth, rf 3 O'Brien, 2b .4 Lord, cf .5 Paganucci, ss 5 McPhee, p 5 0 12 2 1 HEBRON.

SWITZERLAND WILL PROTEST 3 LIVES LOST ON LUSITANIA Berne, Switzerland, May 21.—(Via Paris, 11.20 A. M.).—The Swiss federal authori ties have decided to make suitable repre sentations to Germany on the sinking. May 7, of the Cunard Line steamer Lusi tania bv a German submarine as a result of which three Swiss citizens lost their lives. The government is awaiting knowledge of the German reply to the Washington note on this subject, so as to be the bet ter able to choose a wise coure of pro cedure. The Swiss think well of President Wil- son's note, but to most newspapers it appears to be hardly strong enough. The argument is being made here by i Swiss observers that the Swiss repre sentations will have great weight, be cause behind them there will be the Swiss army, 500,000 strong.

The entire fourth or last page is covered with advertising mat ter, a large part of it from out of town and even out of the State.

The Department of Agriculture in Washington maintains a bureau, known as the Office of Public Roads and 5.500 weight of that bureau is to be i brought to Maine for the Maine State Exposition. June 7 to June 19. When the interest shown by the federal gov ernment in any enterprise, its known conservatism and reluctance to embark ir. any experimental venture, the vast importance of this exposition must be realized. There is no escaping that realization. Models of road building methods will be shown in abundance, in variety and in painstaking care to bring out such details as shall have a wonderful educational value. There's the construction cf the Appian Way and the French roads that were built during the reign of Napoleon 1. An-; other shows the Telford system, an other the MacAdam roads of the days icf George the Fourth. These are here, on the scale of one inch to a foot, splendid samples of acknowledged suc cesses ir. the vexatious process of build- j nig roads. Another model depicts the Swiss roads such as are built in the Alps. It -w-ill be of interest to visitors who dwell in mountainous country. There are models which show how sand, clay, earth and gravel roads should be con structed and the care and attenion they need. Concrete has been adopted as a road material and miniature mod els are to be displayed in the exposi tion, mechanical devices which are used in material material and laying them. There are various methods of surfacing streets and roads, these being shown for new Macadam, old Macad am, the penetration method, mixing method; mixed filler method; rock as phalt; and the Topeka specification.

When this tube is inflamed I you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, j Deafness is the result, and unless the in f animation can be taken out and this j tube restored to its normal condition.

It may he interesting to note that nearly all the media of so-called na tional advertising are showing losses On the other hand, many newspa pers show gains, particularly in na tional advertising. The reason lies in the fact that in dull times the efficient survive. Newspaper advertising is demonstrating its efficiency—its low costs— and its great productiveness, j A good story is told at the expense of two young ladies who are passing the summer on the shores of Lake Cobbosseecontee. They were eager to try their luck at fishing and were told that the trout would not bite worms as well as flies. So acting upon the sug gestion they passed the greater part of a forenoon trying to catch flies in the cottage but thty found the flies very scarce, it was net until evening that they learned that the flies used ordinarily in fishing are quite a bit different from house flics.

Two-thirds of the prosperous corpor ate interests in Maine seld their ini tial issues of stock and bonds for less than par. It is the underwriter who finds the market for new Issues, and 1 venture to say that no new public utilities company In this or any other state could find an underwriter today who would underwrite new and untried securities at par. If your newspaper believes in devel opment for Maine, as, of course, it does, you cannot sound your protests on this decision too loudly or too soon. This decision, if it holds, means abso- j lute destruction of Maine’s develop- ment. The Public Utilities Commission has torp^o®^ Maine’s prosperity, if this decision holds. For the benefit of the citizens of. Maine, the Public Utilities Commis- j sion should be publicly asked to change such a decision and their answer as j to the course they intend to pursue should be given State-wide publicity, and it should he done at once. Very truly yours, F. ERNEST HOLMAN, C. P. A. Bar Harbor, May 19, 1915. UNI.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER S CASTOR I A ASKED FOR EXHIBIT AT PORTLAND SHOW Mrs. E. C. Carll of the State Federation of Woman’s Clubs Issues Appeal Asking Augus ta Ladies to Contribute. The Woman s Exhibit Committee of the Maine State Exposition has asked the women of Augusta to be exhibit-' ors at the exposition, which is to be held under the auspices of the Port land Chamber of Commerce from June 7 to 15*. 1315 in the new exposi- "ion building in that city. As this ex position is to be a State affair it is de sired that a good sized exhibit should I be sent by the ladies of the Capital t City and ail who have made lace, done i embroidery work, made paintings or have worked in the crafts are called I upon to exhibit specimens of their work. Mrs. John Fox of Portland, who is secretary of the Women's Department of the exposition, recently called upon Mrs. E. C. Carll of this city, a member j of the arts and crafts committee cf the State Federation of Woman's Clubs and brought the matter before her. strongly urging that she interest the ladies of the city in the exhibit work. Mrs. Frederick P. Abbott of Saco, president of the State Federa tion of Women's Clubs has communi cated with Mrs. Carll. sending word for her to arouse the interest among the club women of the city. In an- ,-vver to these requests Mrs. Carll makes her appeal to the Augusta ladies through the columns of the Journal. It is the intention of the Woman’s Exhibit Committee to make the exhi- j bit representative of the work women I are <Jo;ng in the State, whether in the city or on the farm, and it is the hope of the committee that the exhibit will be instrumental in bringing about the organisation cf a State Woman's Ex change. It is hoped that many Augusta ladles will send exhibits so that the Augusta exhibit as a whole will be one of which the city will be proud. The following information is given to the ladies who are planning to loan exhibits. "The hanging of the exhibit will be in the hands of a committee which will have full power—a jury has also been added to the committee. "The name and address of the own er must be securely attached in such a way that it cannot be removed e.os- j i’y. As an extra inducement the 1 Maine Centra! Railroad has agreed tc- 1 transport all exhibits free both ways Goods must be sent by June 2nd to 762 Congress street Portland, care of Mrs. John P. Fox. in order that the 1 exhibition may be in place by June 7. 1 "The space for the woman's exhibit j is free as nothing will be sold at the exhibition, but prices may be attach ed to each article that the exhibitor may later wish to take orders from.

INTERNATIONAL ST. i JOHN RIVER GOM'N MAY 25 VAN BOREN (Eangor Commercial) in order to se'ure further informa tion relative to the sorting gaps and the handling cf iogs on the St. John river at Van Burer.. where severs! large lumber manufacturing mills are located, the In ternational St. John RiTer commission has decided to toid a hearing at Van Buren, May 2*' At this meeting of the commission W. J. Lnnnigan of Waterville. who is in charge cf the 't:mb?r!and department of the large pulp and paper manufacturing concern of Hollingsworth i Whitney Co., and George l.'imr. of Houlton. a well known lumberman and large timberlar.d owner in northern Maine, are :o appear before the comis siom. Th*-y have been called to give expert testimony concerning sorting gaps and methods of handling logs, both men having had wide experience in this line of work. The original trouble on the St. John river, back in 1905, known as the “Van Buren War." arose from the fact that the men handling the logs destined for further down the St. John river believed that the logs were being held too long a: the sort ing gaps and delayed so there that the drop j of water in the river might prevent them i from reaching their destination below. The point that the commission, which i represents both the United States and the dominion of Canada, is to determine in j regard to handling the iogs. is an im portant one. and one which the commission 1 will go into carefully before making its recommendations. Much of the evidence in regard to the sorting gaps has already been taken by the commission, tut it was felt by both sides that in view of the fact that Hon. John B. Madigau. the new member cf the commis- i sion, was not appointed until last summer. I on the death of Hon. George A. Mureble. j of Calais, and had not had the benefit of i the early hearings at Van Buren on the j question it would be well to go over it to some extent. It was also felt that the opinions of expert river men like Messrs. Lar.r.igan and Bunn would be of unusual value. The commission was in session hero several weeks ago, but very little was ac complished at this hearing beyond making plans for completing the work. It was planned then to go to Van Buren when the logs were running down past itae mills there and the sorting gaps are in opera tion. Prize Speaking at Jay High. The annual prize speaking contest of Jay High school pupils was held Thursday night at the Baptist church. Miss Iva B. Look won the first prize for girls, George R. Marshall for boys and Doris K.

The Saturday and Monday special k AN EASY WAY TO END CATARRH FOREVER Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs of This Dangerous Disease. The reason why so many people who suf fer from Catarrh never seem able to get I cured is that they are continually seeking the momentary relief of sprays, douching. greasy creams .ointments, etc. Such things 1 do open up the swollen nostrils and clear the head temporarily, besides stopping for a while the disgusting blowing, hawking, spitting and choking, but they never cure. To drive out Catarrh for good you have 1 got to get down to its real cause. Catarrh is a germ disease. The air is always full of catarrh germs thrown off by one person and absorbed by another and when the sys tem does fall to throw off such garms they find permanent lodgment in the nose, throat and head and multiply rapidly. The germs of catarrh can be best de stroyed by inhaling the pure medical air of Hyomei (pronounced Htgh-o-me). This splendid and powerful combination of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing agents has a wonderful germicidal action. You breathe its air into your nose, throat and lungs by means of a small hard rubber in hailer which Bo wd itch-Webster Co. and other leading druggists here in Augusta and vicinity supply with every treatment. This medicated air is a certain death to the germs of Catarrh and drives them com pletely out of your system and when the germs are destroyed the catarrh with all its diaagreeable symptoms will stop. Even two or three minutes use will give refreshing re lief, while, it you will use it two or three tintes a day for a few weeks it will com pletely banish catarrh and every symptom of catarrh. As Hyomei is pleasant to breathe and is always sold by druggists everywhere with a positive guarantee of successful results or money back, surely no Catarrhal sufferer should go long before try ing this simple home remedy.—Adv. sales have become popular at the D.

SAGADAHOC SU PREME COURT, BATH Bath, Me., May 21.—Supreme court for the May term is gradually nearing a close. Wednesday afternoon was taken up in the presentation of evi dence in ease 2714, the Noyes i Knowles Lumber Co. vs. Henry C. Pluff in which case Plummer Glidden appear for the plaintiff and Oakes, Pulsifer Ludden for de fense. Progress was made up to the charge of Justice Cornish which was given the jury Thursday morning on opening of the court. The justice gave the jury an interrogatory to be an swered by the jury "Yes” or "No," the question being, 'TMd the defend ant, in reporting to the plaintiffs ths various amounts of lumber on the Ragan lot, as given him by the scal er, falsely and fraudulently repre sent said amounts or any of them?” The jury reported at 11.10 and hand ed in the answer to the interrogatory "Yes.’’ For the fifth time the action of John W. Barrett against the Ls B. B. R. R., numbered 1756, was called. This is an action for damages for the loss of plaintiff’s right leg which was Jammed by a car on Topsham bridge, later being amputated. Four verdicts for plaintiff have been hand ed in by four juries on this action and four times the law court has thrown out the verdicts on points of law. Among witnesses for the railroad was Supt. Bowie who now is able to walk pretty well with the aid of a cane. It will be recalled that Supt. Bowie had a hard time for long months with a broken leg. This case is on trial. In this Barrett case, Oakes, Pul sifer Ludden appear for plaintiff and Newell WoodBide for the rail way.

Col by and Bates played to a tie Wednesday in Lewiston, and this game will be played off during the coming week, it was de cided Thursday. Coach Houser gave the team its final workout Friday afternoon on Libbey field owing to the fact that the college dia mond was being used by the junior league players. Practicing until almost dark every afternoon the Colby squad has been on the Improvement all the time, and the students as well as the alumni of the section are expecting tne pennant to float over the campus this spring.

Mrs. Effle Carr of Eastport, who was so seriously burned Saturday morning while using kerosene to start a kitchen fire died at the home at Eagle street late Tuesday after noon after considerable suffering from the burns. She was past 65 years of age. The husband and three married daughters survive. She had been making her home with one of the latter, Mrs. AcUex, AMERICAN RELIEF IN BELGIUM NOW BETTER PREPARED FOR THE WORK (Associated Press Correspondence) London, May 8.—The warehouses of the American Commission for the Re lief of Belgium at Rotterdam and vari ous provincial centers are at last suffi ciently well stocked so that the com mission can stand the shock of inter ruptions in the receipt of supplies with out fearing that the Belgians will starve over night. One of the hardest problems with which the commission had to deal was the fact that belligerent nations re fused to permit the purchase within their boundaries of foodstuffs for the Belgian sufferers. It was consequently necessary to obtain all the food over seas. It was found that if purchases were made in the primary centers and the most economical transport under taken, it was necessary to have in tran sit at all times three months' food sup ply. The commission, therefore, man aged to borrow 810,000,000 secured upon the goods in transit and the members of the commission pledged their per sonal credit for the further communes to bring up the stock of goods in tran sit as high sometimes as 820,000,000. In the early days the commission would have to send canal boats first to one part of Belgium and then to another, where the supplies were within less than 24 hours of exhaustion. At first the commission endeavored to distribute the actual gift food con signed to them to the actually desti tute persons. Within a week they found an enormous amount of diffi culty and confusion arising out of this a rrangement because it would be nec essary to divide a cargo of gift flour, for instance, over 3,000 communes in Belgium, and at the same time to ship parallel with it a large quantity of foodstuffs, consigning them for the pur poses of "sale for those who could pay. This meant a duplication of the entire transport organization and in fact was quite impossible, because no gift cargo was sufficient in size to distribute over 3.000 communes; and the next thing the commission found was that it was borrowing from the gift cargoes and was loaning food from the sales de partment to the benevolent depart ment. The direct business minds of the managers untied this knot by a very simple device, by which they sold all of the gift food from the benevolent department to the provisioning de partment. The benevolent depart ment, instead of having foodstuffs, thus had cash in hand. This they pro ceeded to distribute by weekly sub ventions to the communes, and the communal authorities with this money purchased their required imports from the sales department. The result was an enormous simplification in the work and an actual gain in efficiency, as the communes were then able to buy pre cisely what they required for each in dividual and local institution. It is of some interest to follow the actual course of a cargo of foodstuffs through tile Commission. Take the case of Argentine wheat. One of the largest firms of grain buyers in the Argentine undertook to make pur chases on behalf Of the commission without profit to themselves. This grain would be purchased in one of the central Argentine provinces, transport ed to Buenos Aires, and a freight paid on it, less than the visual rates by vir tue of arrangements by the commis sion with the railway companies at Buenos Aires. A cargo would be ta ken up by one of the regular steamers of the commission. Inasmuch as the commission had Negotiated art arrange ment with all of the belligerent gov ernments that ships flying the com mission’s flag would be Immune from attack at sea. they were able to charter shim and obtain rates at less than normal. This cargo, in due time ar rived at Rotterdam and was there dis charged into lighters which are under time charter to the commission. These lighters are towed down the canals from Rotterdam into Belgium and dis charged into one of the five milling centers in Belgium. The flour mills in these five cities are operated on behalf of the commission, whereby the com mission agrees to pay for the labor and actual cost of operation. The wheat is milled into 80 per cent flour and 20 per cent bran and the bran is sold to the municipal dairies to feed the cattle and thereby maintain the cycle of milk supply for the baby can teens. The flour is again loaded into lighters and is distributed into pro vincial warehouses of the commission. Prom these warehouses it is again dis tributed into “arrondissement ware houses.” The communal authorities come to the arrondissement warehouses for their supplies. The communes pay in cash to the arrondissement managers the stipulated prices of flour, and hav ing removed it to the communal ware houses there begins one of the most interesting phenomena in the detailed measures taken to secure absolute economy and justice in the method of distribution. In the case of flour, in the first instance, the joint organiza tions required the communes to secure from all of the bakers a complete list of their customers. These lists were compared with the communal rec ord and a definite number of persons are assigned to each baker for him to supply with bread. The baker is put in bond to supply 325 grammes of good bread made from no other material than that of the commission (in order to prevent adulteration) daily to each adult customer, and at a price fixed by the commission. For this purpose he received daily from the communal warehouse 250 grammes of flour per adult. The communes sell the flour to the baker at the same price wnich they pay for it. The baker is com pelled to sell the bread to his cus tomers for the same price that he pays for the flour, but, Inasmuch as bread made from 250 grammes of flour in creases to 325 grammes of bread, by virtue of the water incorporated In baking, the baker thus obtains a small margin of profit with which to pay his workmen. Any contravention by the baker of the minute rule set down means the punishment of having his list of customers assigned to some com petitor. The same system applies to the handling of other materials. On the benevolent side, those who cannot af ford to buy their bread from the baker or their groceries from the grocer, ap ply to the comfnunal authorities, and, on investigation, are given tickets on the communal stores. These tickets equal a certain ration per head in each family per diem. The communal store is stocked with foodstuffs partly im ported and as stated above, partly pur chased locally by the communes from the cash partially supplied to them by the communes. In addition to the handling of the imported food supplies the commission now handles a consid erable amount of internal food prod uce, as it has been necessary to buy potatoes in some portions of Belgium and send them to other parts, aside from the very large quantity of pota i toes now being imported. The com mission recently purchased 5,000 tons of coffee from the stores commandeered at Antwerp and has re-sold this throughout the country. GEN. SMITH WILL HEAD AH IMMENSE INSTITUTION Brief Description of the National Soldiers’ Home of Virginia at Fortress Monroe, to Which Bangor Man Has Been Appointed as Governor. Located on the historic waters of Hampton Roads, within sight of the conflict of the famous battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac, and about two miles from the large tnilli tary post of Fortress Munroe Is the southern branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers to the governorship of which Gen. Joseph S. Smith, one of Bangor’s best known citizens, has recently been appointed. Gen. Smith, who Is now in Bangor, leaves soon to assume his duties. Maine people will be interested in a description of the immense home over which Gen. Smith will preside. This branch is one of the four estab lished under the original act of Con gress proriding for the care of the dis abled soldiers, which was passed by Congress in 1865 and became a law after revision and amendment in 1866. Maine’s home at Togus was the first of the four. The Virginia branch to which 6en. Smith has been appointed is noted for its salubrity of climate and beauty of location. Before the buildings of the institution there is nearly a mile of water front along which are placed hundreds of comfortable settees for the convenience of the veterans, who congregate there on summer evenings and watch the shipping on this con stantly changing an<J extremely busy waterway. Ih the channel immediate ly in front of the home is the favorite rendezvous of the North Atlantic squadron of the United States Navy. There are now at the home over 2000 veterans and with the large num ber of employes it forms a complete village in itself. The property as originally purchased in 1870 was the Chesapeake Female seminary, which was established in 1854 and used as a school for girls un til 186L It contained at that time about 86 acres, but that has been add ed to until today there are more than tt mn* 23* grounds are beautifully laid out in parks and lawns, inter sected by numerous walks and drives, lined with magnificent shade trees nearly meeting overhead and produc ing an extremely pleasing effect. The main building, as it is now call ed, was the original school structure when the home was a female seminary and during the war It was used as a hospital for both the Union and Con federate soldiers, having been taken possession of by the government im mediately after the battle of Big Bethel. The governor’s residence, the building used as a library and post oiflce, were on the grounds in 1861, to gether with another which has been demolished and removed. At the present time the whole plant contains nearly 75 buildings including an Immense hospital with accommoda tions for approximately 500 patients and employees, large and spacious bar rack buildings; a theatre, seating 1S0»; a hotel, a store and restaurant; two mess balls, several storehouses, two chapels, a bakery and other build ings too numerous to mention. The appraised valuation of the property In 1910 was H,S29,«27.85. AH the buildings are heated by steam from the general power house, which cost over $200,000 and Is wonderfully well equipped with electric and power machinery and so situated that the coal is lightered on barges direct to the plant and handled by machinery to tbe furnaces at a minimum cost. There Is a complete ice-making plant and other modem facilities. From 1905 to 1911 the branch was practically rebuilt and nearly $1,000, 000 was expended. Old buildings were tom down and replaced by modem brick structure*, containing the latest Ideas of sanitation and hygiene. A group of three barrack buildings was erected in this period with a mesa hall attached. These buildings are models of sanitation and the equip ment is said to be the best that can be procured. The barracks are con nected with the mess hall by a cov ered passage so the veterans do not have tc go out of doors in stormy weather. The barracks are used more for the older and more feeble men. There is an attractive chapel de signed with two wings, one Protestant and one Catholic, built in the shape of a letter V, and having a conimon entrance through a large vestibule. The interior walls arc of buff brick with a number of Gothic arches and the ceilings are of pailelled wood. Pipe organs have been placed in each wing. The windows are extremely beautiful. There are five new barrack buildings, built during that time, containing large and comfortable assembly rooms, mak ing commodious and cozy places for the veterans, where they enjoy their card games and other amusements. The interior walls of the barracks are of enamelled bricks, which adds to their appearance and sanitation. The hospital is built facing Hamp ton Roads and is surrounded by wide verandas where the convalescents and other patients can gather and enjoy an unobstructed view of the large body of water. There is an efficient corps of doctors, nurses and attendants. The general mess hall has a seating capacity of over 700. The mess hall is kept scrupulously clean. The theatre is a handsome brick building containing flies, drops, elec tric lighting equipment and in fact, all that is necessary to equip a first class play-house. The best of attrac tions are provided to which the mem bers of the home are admitted free. The cleanliness of the bakery and the facilities for furnishing the most important item on the ration is some thing that is commented on by all visitors to the home. The branch runs a small hotel, which is very comfortable, and where all de sirable visitors are welcome and where very frequently the families of the members are entertained at a reason able charge. The library contains over 8000 vol umes and the books are varied in char acter and issued very liberally to the members and the employes. A general store and restaurant is run by the post fund of the branch. Nearly everything found in well equipped stores of like character is kept in stock and sold at just a slight increase over cost. The profit from the store goes to the post fund and is used principally in pro viding entertainment for the members. The branch is surrounded on three sides by water giving plenty of facili ties for the members to have boats and enjoy Ashing and sailing. Daily open air concerts are given by the branch band in the summer and in the winter the band plays in the thea tre, contributing much to the enjoy ment of veterans. The home is an example of the bene ficiary of a great government to all who served her in the times of trial and need in the early ’60’s. The mem bership is composed of men from all walks of life, many having commanded regiments during the war and about all professions are represented. The rules are liberal and lenient, and enforced for the good for all. M. C. I. WINNER IN DEBATING AT COLBY COLLEGE Waterville, Me., May 21.—(Special).—In an elimination debate held Friday after noon and evening under the auspices of the department of public speaking of Colby College In the chapel building, a decision in favor of Maine Central In stitute supporting the negative side of the question “Resolved, That Military Drill Should Be Compulsory in All the Public Schools of the United States,” was awarded over Bangor high school. Two groups of preparatory schools, one representing Bangor, Bar Harbor and Madison high schools, advanced their ar guments on the affirmative side in the afternoon, and from the three Bangor High was chosen for the finals in the evening against Maine Central Institute, which had been chosen from a field made up of Coburn Classical Institute, Erskine, Foxcroft, Hebron academies and Maine Central Institute, advancing negative ar guments in Group B. The Finals The finals In the evening were presided over by President Roberts and were at tended by a large number of students, and of the out-of-town preparatory school boys attending the Junior league games. The affirmative based its argu ments on the belief that military train ing would foster accuracy and thorough ness; that it would develop leadership; that it would be of great moral value, and that it would be necessary for a pol icy of national preparedness and prepara tion, while the negative contended that it would make the boys inferior mentally, morally and physically; that it would be detrimental to the students and to the schools; that it would detract from their other studies, and that it would be of no permanent value to the nation as a whole. Following is the personnel of all the teams and of the officials: Affirmative—Bangor high school: Louis B. Dennett, Richard MacWilllams, Irving R. Donovan.

VERDICT ORDERED FOR DEFENDANT IN BOWDOINHAM CASE Bath, Me., May 21.—(Special).—Up on the completion of evidence today in the $10,000 damage suit brought by John W. Barrett,’ a Bowdoinham farmer, against the Lewiston, Bruns wick and Bath street railway, which has been heard for its fifth time in the Sagadahoc county supreme court. As sociate Justice Leslie C. Cornish di rected the Jury to return a verdict for the defendant. Protecting the Czar. (Youth’s Companion) When Aexander III was Czar of Rus sia he disliked to be followed by de tectives, and whenever he noticed one about him would send him away al most rudely. He repeatedly told his ministers that he believed in divine Providence, and knew that he would not die one hour earlier than was or dained, and that all the precautions they took for his safety only made him ridiculous. It was, therefore, says Count Paul Vassili in ‘‘Behind the Veil at the Russian Court,” extremely dif ficult to combine the measures that were considered indispensable to the security of the czar with his own or ders. _ About these orders he was very particular, and he often fell into a passion when they were not obeyed. An amusing instance of this oc curred one afternoon when the czar was walking In the park at Gatchina, accompanied only by his dog. He suddenly saw a man hiding in the bushes as if afraid of being seen. Alexander went toward him, but the man ran away; and while the czar was still looking in the direction taken by the suspect, some detectives appeared and a wild chase took place, which ended in the man’s being caught. In view of the czar’s orders, not one of the police officials would consent to take the culprit before him until Gen eral Tcherevine appeared upon th3 scene and gave the necessary direc tions. It then turned out fhat' the person who had been the cause of all this disturbance was himself a detec tive who had been ordered to follow the czar, but in such a way that His Majesty might not notice him. Whan he saw that Alexander had discovered him, his only desire was to run away. The incident caused a deal of amusement, fcut Alexander III wa3 furious, and gave vent to his rage in a few very encrgbtlc expressions tha* produced terror all round. For three days he would not speak to General Tcherevine, who, he said, lacked com mon sense in adopting such childish measures for his safety. His straight forward nature hated all this "un necessary fuss,” as he called it, apd he always used to say that Providence was his best guardian angel, whom he trusted in preference to all others. ms to xne spanois. (Youth’s Companion.) Among the Jews of various origins that Inhabit New York City, there is one race, numbering about 15,090, whose members are of a type quite distinct from aii the others. They are known as “Spanols,” and are the descendants of the Jews who were expelled from Spain during the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, and who found refuge in the Turkish domin ions. They have almost nothing in com mon with their coreligionists; even their religion has forms and ceremonials pe culiar to itself. They speak a strange tongue, and their maners, customs, and traditions are Oriental rather than Semitic. “Physically, they are a fine race,” says a writer in the New York Sun, "but in the centuries since their expulsion they have not kept pace intellectually with their brethren in other countries. That is not because they lack natural quick ness, for they are a shrewd and quick witted people, but because there have been no facilities for education in the land from which they came. “Since their immigration into this coun try. five years ago, they have been little affected by American influences. They still remain strangers in a strange land even to thflr coreligionists, whose Yid dish they cannot understand and whose ways are foreign to them. They have perhaps, a closer kinship with the peo ples of Latin America, whose language wwmWeg their own. and Xor whom they RAILROADS STEAMBOATS. t MAINE CENTRAL R.
