PRICE TWO CENTS. UNITED STATES NOTE TO GERMANY IS MADE PUDUC *_ _,_ Bryan Takes Issue with Wilson in Statement Given Out at Same Time as Note Responsibility Conceived by United States “The fact that more than one hundred American citizens were among those who per ished made it the duty of the United States to speak of these things and once more with sol emn emphasis to call the attention of the Imperial German government to the grave respon sibility which the go\ernment of the United States conceives that it has incurred in this tragic occurrence and to the indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. The govern ment of the U nited States is contending for something much greater than the mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It is contending for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity, which every government honors itself in respecting in which no gov ernment is justified in resigning on behalf of those under its care and authority. The government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the Imperial German government will adopt the measures necessary to put these principles into practice in respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships and asks assurances that this will be done.”—(from U. S. note to Germany) _ sf Bryan Shrinks from Threat of “Old System” “If I correctly interpret the note to Germany, it conforms to the standards of the old system rather than to the rules of the new, and I cheerfully admit that it is abundantly sup ported by precedents—precedents written in characters of blood upon almost every page of human history. Every ruler now participating in this unparalleled conflict has proclaimed his desire for peace and denied responsibility for the war. They desired peace but they sought it according to the rules of the old system. They believed that firmness would give the best assurance of the maintenance of peace, and faithfully fol lowing precedent they went so near the fire that they were, one after another sucked into the contest.

Bowditch=Webster Company The Prescription I Bryan Appeals to People Of 0. S. for Vindication in His Stand Against Wilson Washington. June 10.—William Jennings Bryan, in an ap peal addressed “to the American people,” tonight asks them to hear him before they pass sentence upon his laying down the i portfolio of state in the midst of international stress. The text of Mr. Bryan’s statement was as follows: “TO THE A^lERICAN PEOPLE: You now have before you the text of the note to Germany —the note which it would have been my official duty to sign had I remained secretary of state. I ask you to sit in judg ment upon my decision to resign rather than to share respon sibility for it. I am sure you will credit, me with honorable mo tives, but that is not enough. Good intentions could not atone for a mistake at such a time on such a subject and under such circumstances. If your verdict is against me, I ask no mercy; I desire none if I have acted unwisely. A man in public life must act according to his conscience, but however conscien tiously he acts, he must be prepared to accept without com plaint any condemnation which his own errors may bring upon him; he must be willing to bear any deserved punishment from ostracism to execution. But hear me before you pass sentence: “AGREE IN PURPOSE” “The President and I agree in pur pose; we desire a peaceful solution of the dispute which has arisen between the United States and Germany. We not only desire It, but with equal fer vor, we pray for It, but we differ ir reconcilably as to the means of secur ing it. If it were merely a personal difference it would be a matter of lit tle moment, for all the presumptions are on his side—the presumptions that go with power and authority. He is your President, I am a private citizen without office or title—but one of the one hundred million of inhabitants. Expects Vindication "But the real issue is not between persons; it is between systems; and I rely for vindication wholly upon the strength of the position taken. “Among the influences which gov ernments employ in dealing with each other there are two which are pre-em inent and antagonistic-force and persuasion. Force speaks with firmness and acts through the ultimatum; per suasion employs argument, courts in Vi vestigation and depends upon negotia tions. Force presents the old system— the system that must pass away; the persuasion represents the new system —the system that has been growing, all too slowly, it is true, but growing for 1900 years. In the old system war is the chief cornerstone—war which at its best is little better than war at its worst; the new system contemplates an universal brotherhood established through the uplifting power of exam ple. Precedents of Bloodshed "If I correctly interpret the note to Germany, it conforms to the stand ards of the old system rather than to the rules of the new, and I cheerfully admit that it is abundantly supported by precedents—precedents written in characters of blood upon almost every page of human history. Austria fur nishes the most recent precedent; it was Austria’s firmness that dictated the ultimatum against Serbia, which set the world at war. Every ruler now participating in this unparalleled con flict has proclaimed his desire fpr peace and denied responsibility for the war, and it is only charitable that we should credit all of them with good faith. They desired peace, but they sought it according to the rules of the old system. They believed that firm ness would give the best assurance of the maintenance of peace, and faithful ly following precedent they went so near the Are that they were, one (Cenijinued on Paso 2—Column IJ FORMAL REQUEST MADE OF THE IMPERIAL GERMAN GOVERNMENT THAT LIVES AND SHIPS OF AMERICANS RE SAFE GUARDED II. S. Navy Views of Admiral Winslow Says System Seriously Wrong as Regards Promotion and Age Limit Men Suffer Who Cannot Reach Entertainment Re quirements New York, June 10.—Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Winslow, commandant of the Newport navy yard, addressing a gathering *of prominent men at a luncheon of the Navy League, asserted today that the promotion system of the navy was ruinous, that men able to stand entertainment were advanced while the sea experience was sadly neglected and that the age limit was wrong. NAVY'S WEAKNESS The navy, he said, should be run by navy men. Unless such men were plac ed in control, he asserted, the navy could not be efficient. "Our promotion system,” Rear Ad miral Winslow said, “is ruinous. Seni ority counts today and more particu lar a man’s health instead of a man’s fitness. “We must have a sea-going navy. REAR ADMIRAL WINSLOW 9 Rear Admiral Cameron McRae Win Blow of the United States navy, Is a nephew of the Winslow who command* ed the Kearsarge at the time of her famous battle with the Alabama In the Civil war. We must insist upon a sea education for our navy. You, the public, mut look up your navy.” The luncheon was held to further the league's program to have Congress au thorize the expenditure of $500,000,000 for a navy and was attended by more than 100 prominent men, including J. P. Morgan, Elbert II. Gary, Theodore P. Shonts, Jacob H. Schlff, Harry Payne Whitney, William F. McCombes and Charles D. Hilles. Thirty thousand dollars was subscribed to further the program.

S. Feels That Fact of Giving No Warning to Helpless Lusitania Raises Case Out of Class of Ordinary Subjects of Diplomatic Discussion or International Controversy MR. BRYAN SAYS IF VERDICT OF PUBUG IS AGAINST HIM HE ASKS NO FURTHER MERCY Washington, June 10.—The United States in its latest note to Germany, made public tonight, formally asks the Imperial government for assurances that measures hereafter will be adopted to safeguard “American lives and American ships'* on the high seas. The alternative in case of refusal is not stated. It was this note to which William Jennings Bryan refus ed to attach his signature, resigning his portfolio of secretary of state and thereby precipitating a dramatic cabinet crisis. Robert Lansing, secretary of state ad interim, signed the com munication, whch went forth with the approval of President Wilson and his entire cabinet. Friendly terms characterize the document, which renews representations made in the American note that reached Ger many on May 15 after the Lusitania was torpedoed and sunk with a loss of more than 100 American lives. The German gov ernment, it is declared, “must have been misinformed” when it assumed that the Lusitania carried guns, as official informa tion is at hand to corroborate the original contention of the Washington government—that the Lusitania was an unarmed passenger ship which, since it did not resist capture, could not be sunk without transferring passengers and crew to a place of safety. The communication informs Germany that it is “on the principle of humanity as well as upon the law founded upon this principle that the United States must stand.” Opportun ity is given to Germany to submit any evidence that Ameri can officials did# not execute their tasks thoroughly in inspect ing the Lusitania before she sailed, but the cardinal fact—that the liner was given no warning and made no resistance and was primarily a pasesnger ship the American government declares throws “into the background any special circumstance of detail” and lifts the case “out of the class of ordinary sub jects of diplomatic discussion or of international controversy.” The issuance of another statement by Former Secretary Bryan coincident with the publication of the note tonight add ed to the surprise in official quarters at the character of Mr. Bryan’s argument. High officials said the note employed the very process—persuasion— which Mr. Bryan advocated and did not necessarily lead to war. Confident that the public will credit him with honorable intentions, Mr. Bryan frankly says that good intentions are not right and that if the public verdict is against him, he asks no mercy. Interpreting the American note to Germany on submarine warfare which he refused to sign, as conforming to the “old system” of diplomatic standards, precedents for which “are written in characters of blood upon almost every page of hu man history,” and characterizing himself as a champion of the new system—persuasion instead of force—and as “an humble follower of the Prince of Peace,” the former secretary of state pleads for the United States to lead the world “out of the black night of war into the light of that day 'when swords shall be beaten into plowshares.' Tomorrow Mr. Bryan will issue another statement, an ap peal, he says, to “German-Americans." The nature of this ap peal he would not discuss. But with the issuance of the third statement since his resignation the former secretary says he will be ready to rest his case. “Of course I shall always be ready to talk when the occa sion arises and I think it necessary,” Mr, SmjB Mindt

June 10.—(Special).— The graduating exercises of the class of 1915 of the Gardiner High school were held Thursday evening at the Coliseum, which was filled to the limit of its capacity by relatives and friends and welHvishers of the class. It had been the intention of the class to wear the customary cap and gown, but as these were destroyed in the fire at the Congregational church they appeared in pretty gowns for the girls and tas^y suits for the boys. The stage was prettily draped In the class colors, red and black, while the side and end bal conies. occupied by the three other r.» classes, were dressed in the colors of the various classes. Members of Class Of the sixty-four pupils who en tered the school four years ago the fol lowing 27 remained to become mem bers of the graduating class of 1915: Lydia Alice Bates. Sadie Mae Brisk. Mildred Helena Brooks, Annie Teresa Burke. Benjamin Canter, Dorothy Ann Carleton. Edith Caroline Chase, Mado lyn Norma Chase, Beatrice Laura Da vis. Norman Everett Fleming, Lillian May Gammon. Earl Warren Hall, Ethel Flora Jones, Herbert Glenwood Jor dan. Eleanor Frances McCausland, Mary Ellen McGrath, Hazel Ernestine Pushard, Edna Mildred Smith, Aubrey Emmons Snowe, Leora Warren Stev ens, James Edward Stonier, Philip John Talbot, Mary Ellen Toman, Glen wood Samuel Troop, Ralph Harold Wood, Doris Muriel Wright, Ernestine Barker Wright. The class was mar shalled to the stage by Norman Flem ing, the class president, and invocation offered by Rev. F. C. Wright, D. D. Pleasing Program Music was rendered by the Gardiner School Orchestra, under the able lead ership of Miss Gertrude Sharman, in structor in music in the public schools, and the work done is deserving of high commendation. The following num bers were given: “To Horse and Away,” "King Midas,” “Woodland Chimes,” Treasure Island.” The or chestra is composed as follows: Ray mond Monagan, William Kearns. James Cusick, Hilliard Coolr, Harold Cook, Charles Hildreth, Andrew Sagar, George Manson. Jesse Curtis, Margar et RamsdeU and Ernestine Wright, the latter being a member of the graduat ing class. Perhaps the most pleasing of the entire program was a vocal solo by Miss Eleanor McCausland, one of the graduating class, who rendered an aria from the opera La Gioconda, which was listened to with much pleasure, the audience expressing their appre ciation with hearty applause. Miss McCausland responding with an encore equally pleasurable. The salutatory by Earl W. Hall was cleverly written, eloquently delivered and well received as was the prophecy given by Miss Ethel F. Jones. “Indian Myths and Legends” The essay of Miss Leora Stevens on “Indian Myths and Legends” was scholarly and interesting, being descrip tive of the crude systems of picture writings: of their inability to distin guish between animate and inanimate objects of placing animals on a higher level than themselves because their hunting instinct was more sure. The t varioti strlbes were often named after j the animals or birds whose character istics they admired. In all Indian myth ologies the idea of a God. the "Great Spirit,' 'is ever present, though some times strangely expressed. The descrip- I tion of the medicine men -was excellent. The author told in detail of the myth i of the treat god Michabo and the le- gend of "The Liar." Her handling of the belief in the future life and the existence of good and evil spirits was very clever. A laboratory demonstration by Aub rey E. Snowe was cleverly handled and proved to be a decided inovatlon, high- I ly pleasing to those attending. Mr. •Snowe opened by characterizing chem istry as one of the most important studies and gave the qualifications nec essary for the making of a good chem ist. He told of the science as studied at the High school, naming the prin cipal elements with which they had to do. The experiment demonstrated was based on the interaction of acids and abses or the neutralization, of an acid by a base. He then proceeded to deter mine the percentage of lactic acid found in 50 grams of milk, explaining very clearly each step of the process. Norman E. Fleming's essay on cler ical methods of yesterday and today was one of the pleasing-features. Mr. Fleming showed a keen insight of cleri cal and commercial w-ork and told it in a way that captivated. The presentation of gifts by Miss Ed na M. Smith was indeed one of the en tertaining features of the program. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the valedictory by Miss Edith C. Chase. Following the valedictory came the presentation of diplomas by Supt. H. J. Chase. The final feature on the program was the singing of the class ode, which follows: Class Ode (By Leora Warren Stevens.) (Tune, "Annie Laurie.") Our high school days are over, And now we say goodbye To teachers and to classmates Of dear old Gardiner high. Of dear old Gardiner high. Whose teachings good and true Have trained us for life's struggles. For toils and pleasures new. Four happy years as comrades We've spent, and now we sigh To think we meet as classmates No more in Gardiner high. No more in Gardiner high. Where years spent not in vain Will oft’ in memory's wand'rings Come back to us again. And now, dear friends and schoolmates. We’ll bid you all goodbye. Though schooldays now are over. We ll honor Gardiner high. We'll honor Gardiner high, Our trust we will renew, Our dear old Alma Mater, To her we will be true. In behnlf of Mrs. Laura E. Richards, Mr. Chase presented a volume to Edith C. Chase and Earl W. Hall for excellence In scholarship. BRYAN APPEALS PEOPLE OF U. S. (Continued From Page One) after another, sucked into the contest. Never before have the frightful follies of this system been so clearly revealed as now. Most civiliz ed and enlightened—aye, the most i Christian of the nations of Europe are grappling with each other as if in a death stiuggle. They are sacrificing the best and bravest of their sons on the battlefield; they are converting their gardens into cemeteries, and their homes into houses of mourning; they are taxing the wealth of today and lay ing a burden of debt on the toil of the future; they have filled the air with thunderbolts more deadly than those of Jove and they have multiplied the perils of the deep. Adding fresh fuel the flame of hate, they have daily de vised new horrors, until one side is endeavoring to drown non-combatant men, women and children at sea, while the other side seeks to starve non combatant men, women and children on land. And they are so absorbed in alternate relations and in competitive cruelties that they seem, for the time being, blind to the rights of neutrals and deaf to the appeals of humanity. A tree is known by its fruit. The war in Europe is the ripened fruit of the old system. U. S. Danger "This is what firmness, supported by force, has done in the Old World; shall ■we invite it to cross the Atlantic? Al ready the jingoes of our own country have caught the rabies from the dogs of war; shall the opponents of organ ised slaughter be silent while the dis ease spreads? "As an humble follower of the Prince of Peace; as a devoted believer In the prophecy, ‘They that take the sword shall perish with the sword,’ I beg to be counted among those who earnestly urge the adoption of a course In this matter which will leave no doubt of our government’s willingness to continue negotiations with Germany until an amicable understanding is reached, or at least until, the stress of war over, we can appeal from Philip drunk with carnage to Philip sobered by the mem ories of an historic friendship and by a recollection of the innumerable ties of kinship that bind the Fatherland to the United States. “Some nation must lead the world out of the black night of war into the light of that day when swords shall be beaten Into ’plowshares.’ Why not make that honor ours? Some day, why not now?—the nations will learn that enduring peace cannot be built upon fear—that good will does not grow upon the stalk of violence. Some day the na tions will place their trust in love, the weapon for which there is no shield; In love, that suffereth long and Is kind; in love, that la not easily provoked, that beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things; In lave which, though despised as weakness by the worshippers of Mars, abideth when all else fails. _ W. J. BRYAN.”

TEXT OF NOTE (Continued From Page One) German Admission “The government of the United States notes with gratification the full recognition by the Imperial German j government, in discussing the cases of j the Cushing and the Gulflight, of the principle of the freedom of all parts of the open sea to neutral ships and the frank willingness of Imperial Ger man government to acknowledge and meet its liability where the fact of at tack upon neutral ships, which have not been guilty of any hostile act, by German war craft or vessels of war is satisfactorily established and the gov ernment of the United States will in due course lay before the Imperial German government, as it requests full information concerning the attack on the steamer Cushing. Case of Falaba “With regard to the sinking of the steamer Falaba, by which an American citizen lost his life, the government of the United States is surprised to find the imperial German government con tending that an effort on the part of a merchantman to escape capture and se cure assistance alters the obligation of the officer seeking the capture' in re spect of the safety of the lives of those on board the merchantman, although the vessel has ceased her attempt to escape when torpedoed. These are not new cir cumstances. They have been in the minds of statesmen and of international jurists throughout the development of naval warfare and the government of the United States does not understand that they have ever been held to alter the principles of humanity upon which it has insisted. Nothing but actual and forcible resistance or continued efforts to escape by flight when ordered to stop for the purpose of visit on the part of the merchantman has ever been held to forfeit the lives of her passengers or crew. The government of the United States, however, does not understand that the imperial German- government is seek ing in this case to relieve itself of lia bility, but only intends to set forth the circumstances which led the commander of the submarine to allow himself to be hurried into the course which he took. Lusitania Unarmed "Tour Excellency's note, in discussing the loss of American lives resulting from the sinking of the steamship iAtsit&nla adverts at some length to certain infor mation which the imperial German gov ernment has received with regard to the character and outfit of that vessel, and Tour Excellelcy expresses the fear that this had not been brought to the atten tion of the United States.' It is stated that the Lusitania undoubtedly was sup plied wlh masked guns, supplied with trained gunners and special ammuni tion, transporting troops from Canada, carrying a cargo not permitted under 1 the laws of the United States to a vessel also carrying passengers, and serving. In virtual effect, as an auxiliary to the na val forces of Great Britain. Fortunately those are matters concerning which the government of the United States is In a position to give the imperial German government official information. Of the fasts alleged in Tour Excellency’s note, if true, the government of the United' States ■would have been bound to take official cognizance in performing its rec ognized duty as a neutral power1- and in enforcing its national laws. It 'was its duty to see to it that the Lusitania was not armed for offensive action; that she was not serving as a transport: that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by the statutes of the United States, and that, if in fact she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she should not receive clearance as a merchantman; and it per formed that duty and enforced its stat utes with scrupulous vigilance through its regularly constituted officials. It is able, therefore, to assure the imperial German government that it has been misinformed. If the imperial German government should deem itself to be in possession of convincing evidence 'that the officials of the government of the United States did not perform these du ties with thoroughness, the government of the United States sincerely hopes that it will submit that evidence for consideration. Contentions Irrelevant "Whatever may be the contentions of the Imperial German government re garding the carriage of contraband of war on board the Lusitania or regard ing the explosion of that material by the torpedo, it need only be said that in the view of this government, these contentions are irrelevent to the ques tion of the legality of the methods used by the German naval authorities in sinking the vessel. "But the sinking passenger ships in volves principles of humanity which thrown into the background any spe cial circumstances of detail that may be though to affect the cases, principles which lift it as the Imperial German government will no doubt be quick to recognize and acknowledge, out of the class of ordinary subjects of diplomat ic discussion or of international contro versy. Whatever be the other facts re garding the Lusitania, the principal fact is that a great steamer primarily and chiefly a conveyance for passen gers, and carrying more than a thou sand souls, who had no part or lot in the conduct of the war, was torpedoed and sank without so much as a chal lenge or a warning, and that men, wo men and children were sent to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare. The fact that more than 100 American citizens were among those who perished made it the duty of the United States to speak of these things and once more with solemn em phasis to call the attention of the Im perial German government to the grave responsibility which the government of the United States conceives that It has Incurred In this tragic occurrence and to the Indisputable principle upon which that responsibility rests. U. 8* Responsibility "The government of the United States is contending for something much greater than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It Is contend ing for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity, which every government honors itself In re specting In which no government is Justified In resigning on behalf of those under its care and authority. Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to stop when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit could have afforded Justification for sc much as putting the lives of those onboard the ship in jeopardy. This principle the govern ment of the United States understands the explicit instructions issued on Aug. 3, 1914, by the Imperial German admi ralty to its commanders at sea to have recognized and eifibodied, as do the naval codes of fell other nations, and upon it every traveler and seaman has a right to depend. It is upon this prin ciple of humanity* as well as upon the law founded upon, this principle that the United States must stand. “The government of the United States is happy to observe that Your Excel lency's note closes with the intimation that the Imperial German government is willing, now as before, to accept the good offices of the United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the government of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation or suggestion the other may be willing to have it convey and cordially invites the Imperial German government to make use of its services in this way at its convenience. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a partial f&commodation of interests or in any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing con flict. "In the meantime, .whatever arrange ment may happily be made between the parties of the war, and whatever may in the opinion of the Imperial German government have been the prov ocation or their circumstantial justi fication for the past acts of its com manders at sea, the government of the United States confidently looks to see the justice and humanity of the gov ernment of Germany vindicated in all cases where Americans have been wronged or their rights as neutrals in vaded. Ronewt Representation* "The government of the United States therefore very earnestly and very sol emnly renews the represntations of its note transmitted to the Imperial Ger man government on the 13th of May, and relies in these representations upon the principles of humanity, the univer sally recognized understandings of in ternational law and the ancient friend ship of the German nation. "The government of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American ship masters or of Amer ican citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of bel ligerent nationality. It does not under stand the Imperial German government to question those rights. It understands i it also to accept as established beyond question the principle that the lives of non-combatants cannot lawfully or rightfully be put in jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresist ing merchantman and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient precaution to ascertain whether a suspected mer chantman is in fact of belligerent na tionality or is in fact carrying contra band of war under a neutral flag. The government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the Impe rial German government will adopt the measures necessary to put these princi ples into practice In respect of the safe guarding of American lives and Ameri can ships and asks for assurances that this will be done.

Bear river, the scene of some of the earliest stream-gaging work In the West, has recently been made the sub ject of further studlep by the United States Geological Survey. The re sults of these studies are published as Water-Supply Paper 350, "Profile Surveys in Bear River Basin, Idaho. In this paper are given a brief de scription of the river basin and a plan and profile of the stream from River dale to Novena, Idaho, together with list of gaging stations which have been maintained on Bear R'lver and its tributaries since 1888, and refer ences to all the publications of the United States Geological Survey con taining the results of stream-flow measurements in this important basin. Bear river and its tributaries are extensively utilized both for irrigation and for power, and this paper should be of great interest to those who are now utilizing the river, as well as to those interested in its further develop ment.

The United States Geological Sur vey has recently published a report on the geology of a part of west Texas in the vicinity of Van Horn, a station on the Texas Pacific Railway about 100 miles east of El Paso. This re port is one of a series of folios that ‘describe and map the general geology and mineral resources of quadrangular areas bounded by certain meridians and parallels, a series that will event ually include reports on the entire country. The Van Horn folio is No. 194 in this series. The area described is in what is known as trans-Pecos Texas, that part of the state lying west of Pecos river. It is a mountainous region character ized by highlands in which bedecks outcrop and by intermontane deawt plains underlain by sand and gratm. A number of formations, ranging Th age from pre-Cambrain to Quaternary, are described and mapped. The old Hazel mine, which is reported to hates produced a number of years ago sev eral hundred thousand dollars worth of silver and copper, and a number of copper prospects are in the area. Small amounts of turquoise and tung sten have also been found. There are. extensive deposits of marble and enor mous quantities of limestone, as well as sandstone, gypsum, sand and gravel. Underground water is locally abundant.

Platinum and its closely allied metals palladium, iridium, and others are mong the few mineral products for which the United States is dependent on foreign countries. Platinum is in dispensable to the chemist, and in re cent years it has also come into vogue in the manufacture of Jewelry, it is extensively used for chains and for the setting of diamonds, the claim be ing made that the platinum, besides being more resistant than silver and harder than gold, sets off the diamonds more effectively. Palladium re sembles platinum but has a higher luster, like that of sliver, and is used as an alloy with platinum to give this metal increased brilliance and for other technical purposes. The de mand for palladium is considerably greater than the supply, and in the last few years the price of platinum and palladium has been double that of gold. It is therefore of interest to learn that platinum and palladium have been found in eras of the Yellow pine mining district, in Clark county, Nev. The principle find was made at the Boss mine, which is described in Bul letin 620-A, recently Issued by the United States Geological Survey. The ore deposit on the Boss claim was dis covered some St yean ago. having been located tn copper, the presence of which Is plainly indicated by chrysocolla and other oxidised cop per minerals, in the nineties a leach ing plant was built at Ooodsprlngs, it miles from the mine, and aa attempt was made to treat the oxiaizea copper ore, but the process proved a failure. Not until recently was the gold and Platinum content of the ore recog nised. The failure to recognise, or at least fully to appreciate, the gold bearing character of the ore seems to have been due to the fact that much of the gold is very finely divided and can not be obtained by panning, and also to the fact that some of the ex traordinarily rich material when panned yields a black residue that might easily be and probably was thrown away as worthless black sand. Systematic sampling of the deposit early In 1»14 led to full recognition that gold is present in valuable amount, and it waa during the course of this sampling that the platinum and palladium content of the ore was discovered. The deposit consists of a mass of fine-grained quartz Inclosed In dolo mites of Carboniferous age. The 'precious metals -are especially as sociated with a rare mineral that Is known by the rather unwieldy name plutnbojaroelte; it la a hydrous sulphate of Iron and lead. The min eral is locally known as greenish talc, and this name accurately describes Its main physical properties; pockets of the purs mineral carry 100 ounces or more of platinum and palladium and several hundred ounces of gold to the ton. This exceeding richness points to a concentration of the precious metala in the oxidized ore by surface solutions, so that in depth the pockets of extremely high grade ore, such as are now being extracted, will give place to ore of moderate grade. A copy of the report, which is en titled “A gold-platinum-palladium lode in southern Nevada," by 'Adolph Knopf, may be obtained free on appli cation to the Director of the Geologi cal Survey, Washington, D. C. A Perilous. Moment. "There are different kinds of fear," writes (M> EnglUh Officer in the Week ly Telegraph. "I have served In In IJJa, in Egypt, and hi. western Africa.” he continues, “but the worst fright I was ever 1J, was when I knew there was no enemy within thousands of miles. “I waa a captain at the time, and was stationed at Port Royal, Jamaica, with a lot of raw recruits on my hands. They were being drilled in rifle practice at long range, and it was almost impossible to make them obey orders with anything like pre cision; in fact, I could never be sure but they would fire when I wanted them to present, or present when I wanted them to fire. One day I sat on my horse at the right of the squad giving my orders. Things were go ing pretty well. I cried ‘Ready!’ and the work was as pretty as if the men had been veterans. ‘Aim!’ said I, and every rifle went to the shoulder in perfect form. I was about to say ‘Fire!’ when Just on the Instant my horse bolted and cut directly across the range within twenty feet of the squad. I caught the glittering rifles leveled right at me, and instinctively I shut my eyes and ducked my head. ‘‘If you know what British soldiers are, you can Imagine my feelings. As I said before. I never was in sucli a fright. I knew that if I opened my mouth those recruits would riddle my body, for they were expecting the word ‘Fire!’ and would take any sound whatever for that. My desire to cry out ‘As you were!’ to get the rifles off my body, was so great that I had to clench my teeth in order to remain silent. All this lasted but a few seconds, of course, but the sec onds to me were long minutes. “When my plunging horse had car ried me past the line of motionless rifles, I managed to wheel him. As he came round, I cried ‘Fire!’ and off went the guns as if by clockwork. It was plainer than ever to me that if I had opened my mouth a second of two sooner, I should have been a dead man.” I A Dog Hero. The war correspondent of the Lon don Dally Telegraph speaks of a FYench soldier who. in writing to his family, told how hip life was saved by the pet dog of his regiment. Struck by a fragment of shell in the arm and with a sabre out over the head, the wounded man was lying half-covered by the dead bodies of his comrades, when he felt a light touch on his fore head. It was Tom, the regiment's dog. In spite of his pain, the soldier tried to raise himself up a little. He knew' that the animal was trained to carry to the camp a wounded man’s cap, but he had lost his own.- The dog hesitated, and the soldier said to him, "Run quickly, Tom; go and And my comrades. Go on—And them!” T|ien Tom understood. He dashed away to the camp, ran about among the men, pulling their coats and bark ing, and at last succeeded In drawing two ambulance men to the spot where the wouned soldier* lay. He was taken up quickly, cared for by the surgeons, and today he Is fast recov ering. Tom goes toward the Aring line as soon as the bullets begin to Ay. He scrapes a hole in the ground and crouches there. During the lulls in the Aring he does duty with the am bulance men, and helps to save the wounded. The Usual Place. The captain, says a German paper, was questioning his men: "Which of you fellows can swim?** "I can, captain!” spoke up one sol dier. “Good! Where did you learn7** “Why-—er, in the water, sir!” re-, Plied the soldier. AUGUSTA LOCALS Miss Charlotte Currier left Thursday for the Prince Edwards Islands, where she will pass the summer months.

Plant in 1896 i: \-UJr Tlie above illustration shows the Oakland Manufacturing Co's, wood working plant as it existed in 1896 and was the none of Gardiner’s most pros perous manufacturing establishments, but since that time it has been dam aged three times by- fire, that of Wednesday morning having caused its discontinuance. All that is left of the group shown in the illustration is the brick boiler room and the tall stack shown at the left. The three-story frame building shown at the right was de stroyed in 1906 by the fire which de stroyed the sawmill of J. Gray Sons, a small portion of which is shown at the extreme right of the illustration. Three years ago fire again visited the plant, destroying the three-story build ing at the left and beyond the building burned in 1906, and also burning the roof .from the boiler room. It may be of Interest to know that the electric current to supply the first arc lights ever seen in Gardiner was generated in that boiler room, the occasion be ing one of the fairs held by Heath Post. G. A. R„ and the lights were se cured through the enterprise and energy of the late A. W. McOausland, then president of the Oakland Manufacturing Co. The building destroyed by Wednes day morning's fire was built after the destruction of the one shown at the right of the illustration and stood at the left of and at right angles to it. It was operated by water power. The crosses indicate the original buildings of the plant. TWO BOYS UNDER ARRESST FOR THE RECENTTHEFTS ABOUT GARDINER Two Gardiner lads about 14 years of age whose names are withheld be cause of their youth and because of their parents' feelings, were arraigned i T'nursdhv in the Gardiner municipal court, charged with breaking and en tering and larceny. They pleaded not guilty through their attorney, Hon. i Geo. W. Heselton, and were held in $500 bonds for the appearance at the Septem ber term of the superior court. Bonds were furnished. The lads admitted to the police that they were concerned in at least six of the recent, breaks, these being at the Vannah Co., Decker Day’s, Tarr's boat house, Otis Hooker's. Geo. W. Cross and the Nivison stable. Their apprehen j sion* comes as a distinct shock as the larfs have always borne a good reputa tidh in the past. Much criticism has been passed out referring to the police department re garciing the,breaks of recent date, as is always the ease at such times. City Marshal F. E. Potter has rot been loaf ing on thb job and has put in work on the case both day and night and this work resulted in the arrest of the lads. After the boys had been taken to the station they confessed to several of the breaks and told where a part of the plunder might be found. Several sacks containing a large and varied assort ment. principally from the hardware stores, were found hidden in a box sunk in the ground under the Univer salist vestry and another lot in the or gan ioft. Other lots were located at Gray’s wharf and under the sidewalk of Lincoln avenue, near Quimby field. In the lot of plunder buried under the church vestry was found the probable cause of the lads' downfall in the shape of a sizeable package of "dime novels" of the Diamond Dick variety. The lads feel their position keenly and needless to say heartily regret their actions. Mrs. L. M. Barter of Richmond was calling on Gardiner friends Thursday. Funeral of the Late Eugene C. Jewett The funeral of the late Eugene C. Jewett was held at his late home in King's Mills Thursday afternoon. There was a large attendance and a wealth of floral tributes. About 25 members of the I. O. O. F. at Cooper's Mills were present, acting as escort and performing the commitment ser vice at the grave. The bearers were II. C. Howe, C. F. Acborn, Carlton Philbrook and C. D. Northy. Music was furnished by a quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Kennedy, E. E. Dunton and Mrs. Lilia Heath. Rev. Mr. Pickles of Alr.a officiated. The in terment was at tVhitefleld cemetery.

Help the Red Cross The Red Cross Tea and Cake sale to be held at the house of Henry Rich ards on Friday afternoon is in re sponse to President Wilson’s urgent call for help for unhappy Mexico. For reasons of state and policy we have hitherto been .powerless in the mat ter of this sister Republic, whom dis tracted people have been for several years destroying not only onMnotAfi lives and property, but thorn of Aamr lean and oth?r foreign residents. At last, the confusion and anarchy have reached such a point, have brought about conditions so frightful, that it is not humanly possible for us to suf fer their continuance. Our dear coun try, already feeding and clothing half Europe, must now turn to stretch out hands of help and comfort to the stricken neighbor who lies fainting and bleeding at our very door. The President has called upon the Red Cross to furnish food and cloth ing for these unhappy people and the response has been prompt and gener ous. Already supplies are being rush ed across the border. East, west, north and south, people are saying to them seltes and to one another, “this must Tve do, and not leave the other undone!" It may seem to many that we have already given to the limit of our abil ity; that the constant calls of the past terrible year—calls for help for Bel gium, for Poland, for our Mother Eng land, for our Sister France—have been answered till we can answer no more. But is not this our part in the great world-upheaval of the present time. And shall we not be deeply, unspeaka bly thankful that it is so? For the oth ers, the life-struggle, the blood and tears, swift death in battle, slow death by misery and starvation; for us—oh, happy ones! the binding up of wounds, the feeding of the hungry, the clothing of the naked! Gardiner is always ready to do her share, always eager to help in time of need; it is hoped that tomorrow's sim ple festival will bring together many ^'ho will be glad to join In this response j to the call of our President.

CANADIANS CALLED RATS DY THE GERMANS OWING TO AGILITY (Quebec Chronicle, June 7) On board the R. M. S. Megantie, which reached Quebec last evening, after being chased by a submarine off Queenstown during the first few days of her voyage, were five officers of the First Canadian Contingent, who are being invalided home. Among them is Lieut. Dansereau, of the 48th Highlanders, Toronto, son of Mr. Ar thur Dansereau of Montreal. Lieut. Dansereau was wounded In the Langhemarck engagement and his bandaged head bears evidence, to a certain extent to the terrible fire to which those opposing the Germans are subjected. "The Huns,” said this Ca nadian Lieutenant, who h*M been pro moted to Acting Adjutant, “classed the Canadians as rats,” because of their agility and ever-readiness for action. The regiment, to which Lt. Dansereau is attached, has seen such severe fighting that only a few of the officers remain. His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, Hon. P. E. LeBlanc and Mde. Leblanc, accompanied by Major Victor Pelle tier, A. D. C„ and Mde.

FACTORY SQUABBLE COMES INTO COURT A young Polander was before Judge Mattheu Thursday afternoon as the re sult of a little trouble which occurred in the Wyandotte mill. According to the story as told in court, the respondent and another man of the same nationality were engaged in throwing pieces of wet cloth at each other, doing it In a spirit of fun. The other fellow got enough and wanted to stop but the respondent kept it up. Finally the first man pushed him away and then when he came back took a piece of broom handle which they used to hold up a window with and hit him with it, but not enough to hurt him any. The tasks of the two men called them away from each otner for a while and a couple of hours later one of them came near the machine of the respondent, who picked up the broom handle and struck the victim over the head a hard blow, laying open his scalp for several Inches and necessitating five stitches to close the wound. After the Judge had heard the evidence and the young fellow had agreed to pay the doctor's bill, he was released upon a payment of $5 and costs, the whole amounting to 113.45. The money was secured for him by his moth er and sister after he had been locked up for a couple of hours. Colby Commencement Program for Wook Announced—Batts to Play in Placo of Game With Alumni.

Prisoners Taken “Near Caporetto, seventy Bosnian soldiers surrendered. "In other regions along the Isonzo we made over 100 prisoners. Our losses were unimportant. Prisoners say the Austrian losses were consid erable.

Shamrock, Mo.— “I feel it my duty to tell the public the condition of my health before using your medicine. I had falling, inflamma tion and congestion, female weakness, pains in both sides, backaches and bear ing down pains, was short of memory, nervous, impatient, passed sleepless nights,and had neither strength nor energy. There was always a fear and dread in my mind, I bad cold, nervous, weak spells, hot flashes over my body. I had a place in my right side that was bo sore that I could hardly bear the weight of my clothes. I tried medicines and doctors, but they did me little good, end I never expected to get out again. I got Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Blood Purifier, and I cer tainly would have been in grave or in an asylum if your medicines had not saved me. But now I can work all day, sleep well at night, eat anything I want, have no hot flashes or weak, nervous spells. All pains, aches, fears and dreads are gone, my house, children and husband are no longer neglected, as I am almost entirely free of the bad symptoms I had before taking your remedies, and all is pleasure and happiness in my home.”— Mrs. Josie Ham, R.

History is a mighty drama, en acted upon the theater of time, with suns for lamps, and Eternity x. for a background.—Carlyle. __ The Latest Note to Germany. r The "note'’ just submitted to the German government Is a calm state ment; an assurance that the German Imperial government Is proceeding to meet the American demand from a standpoint of misinformation. It is not Bryanesque in construction; it is diot truckling. In most courteous sur roundings and faultless setting of Eng lish language the German government is Informed that the United States "is in position to give official infor mation” concerning the cargo of the Lusitania; that "with scrupulous vigil ance, through its regularly constituted officials,” the government had perform ed its duty and enforced its statutes in giving clearance to the English -merchantman; that the German gov ernment has been misinformed; that the Lusitania was NOT armed for of fensive action; that she was NOT serving as a transport; that she did NOT carry a cargo prohibited by the .statutes. And then, in the same select con struction, breathing the same calm, -Judicial attitude and nicety of poise .comes with inescapable logic and pile -driver force the verdict of Christian civilization—that “the sinking of a passenger ship involves principles of 'humanity which throw into the back ground any special circumstances of .detail that may be thought to affect the cases principles which lift it out of the class of ordinary -subjects of diplomatic discussion.” Every loyal American, of whatever national extraction, will agree with the .President and his official advisers, that the Lusitania, "a great steamer pri marily and chiefly a conveyance for passengers, and carrying more than a thousand souls,” who had entrusted themselves to its care and the protec tion which the centuries of civiliza tion and its international laws had guaranteed, “was torpedoed and sunk without so much as a challenge or a warning,” was an act unparalleled in modern warfare,” and will go farther in expressing the conviction that it ".was unparalleled in cowardly ferocity. Americans and other neutrals have felt that such an act as the sinking of -the Lusitania could have been per petrated only through the fear that the new German system of waging war was incompetent to comply with the requirements of international law; that the commander of the submarine preferred to send thousands of hu man beings into eternity without a chance for life, rather than take the chances himself of fulfilling the re quirements of international agree ments. The act of the German com mander was an act of cowardice, v But the American note of June 9, leaves that to the German interpre tation of the facts which it presents. Every sentence is courteous and gen erous in the opportunity given to make the best of a serious matter— a matter so serious as to be “nothing leu high and sacred than the rights of humanity.” After reading the full text of the note of June 9 to Germany, we fail to discover the "severity” that shuts out .unlimited discussion with Germany of the incidents in controversy, or end less negotiations for friendly agree ment and adjustment. We fail to find the "irreconcilable difference” between the President’s attitude today and that presented in the note of May 13 which W. J. Bryan signed as secretary of state. In substance, after a careful reading of the latest communition from the Washington government, and just as carefully considering the state ment of Mr. Bryan published discour teously in advance of the government note, and of Mr. Bryan’s appeal "to the American people" sent out to be read in the aame hour as the govern ment note, we must conclude that the premier who has just stepped down had deliberately awaited the moment when his sensational break with the administration would attract to him the widest attention In that be has succeeded in a way to gratify the utmost longing for the lime light. As we had Xelt confident, the Presi dent has not lowered the high plane of the American contention. We be lieve the note made public Thursday is equally able and consistent with that other so generally approved by the American people. We unhesitat ingly give it our endorsement and ex tend congratulations to the adminis tration. Our confidence that President Wilson will do his utmost to avoid war and will, with increasing care and tolerance, give Germany the benefit of every doubt, has been confirmed. We believe that he will go ahead sanely and broadly just, and that the Amer ican people will uphold his hand and i stand loyal to him as one man. America stands as the guardian of human rights in an hour when blood has blinded the finer instincts of men. W. J. Bryan’s Statement. Private Citizen Bryan’s appeal to the country in opposition to a govern ment note to a foreign power with which we are in controversy, before the note has reached its destination or has been made public in this country, can not be fully characterized as “dis courteous.’’ It is much more than that: it Ib treasonable. Mr. Bryan was Justified in refusing to sign as secre tary of state, a document in which his convictions were out-raged. His res ignation was the act of an honorable official in disagreement with his asso ciates. It is universally approved his excuse was honorable and sufficient. He had a right to his convictions, and fair-minded people must respect him for his high position, even though they regret that the break should have come at such a critical hour when its sig nificance must be grossly misunder stood by our disputant, who could not be expected to estimate Mr. Bryan as he is known In this country. Mr. Bryan will be taken much more seriously in Germany than at home. Further than the bare facts given in his letter of resignation Mr. Bryan could not go, with courtesy to his for mer associates or with loyalty to the American people. His statement on the news pages today is the expression and the act of a bigot—the placing of his individual opinion as above and I beyond the combined Judgment of his associates, the biggest thing before the country today, to be passed upon by the American people before the na tion’s most vital foreign affairs can be considered. We had expected better of a man of Mr. Bryan's intelligence and accept ed honesty of purpose. It is not a case of "the courage of convictions,” but the folly of bigotry. Mr. Bryan’s hasty attack upon the administration policy seems almost vicious in its determination to embar rass the President and his official fam ily. It is a direct appeal to those of j pro-German leanings to rally around i his standard in opposing the policy of the government. It sets forth an argu ment for German refusal of American demands that is more comprehensive I and plausible than that submitted in the German reply to President Wilson’s note. But it is not this "fairness” to I Germany of which we complain, but, rather, the very act of attempting to turn the American people against the President who is following out a strik ingly approved policy. In this act Mr. Bryan espouses the cause of a nation with whom we are in controversy, as i sails the wisdom of the leaders of his party and flouts the advice and sup port of the leaders and press of the great opposition party. Mr. Bryan assumes that this country cannot set fcrth and demand respect for, that which the nation has fought for and maintained for more than 100 I years—our rights in the high seas— without giving another nation cause for making war upon us. He insin uates that if war does come as a re sult of this nation demanding the .safety of its unarmed and neutral cit izens in the common sea highway, then the President will be responsible for it. Yet Mr. Bryan’s signature was af fixed to the communication notifying Germany that it would be held to “strict accountability,” and to which the President is now entirely consist ent. If Mr. Bryan has suddenly dis covered an “irreconcilable difference” between himself and the President, he may now find the same difference be tween himself and the people, for sup port of the President Is, regardless of party or creed, almost universal. We do not wish to accuse Mr. Bryan of attempting to swing himself Into sudden popularity by such an act, but if that is his purpose we believe he has sadly misjudged the country. If he felt that the cumulative effect of his obscurity and Mr. Wilson's prom inence in the country’s affairs in re cent months, had belittled his stature before the people, he certainly can win back but small part of It by Buch tactics. If it is the climax of clever play for popular favor by two men, then Mr. Bryan has been outclassed and hopelessly defeated. We cannot help thinking of that “cocked hat’* The question is not whether an Ameri can citizen has a right, under interna tional law, to travel on a belligerent ship.—Ex-Secretary Bryan’s statement. But that, precisely, is the question. If he has the right under internation al law. and exercises it, and is drowned, like the victims of the Lusi tania massacre, shall his Government make no protest?—New York World. And if his government does pro test, and the offending nation sees fit to make war because of the protest, shall the President of the protesting government be considered responsible .for the war? If Bryan wins ever so high favor with the German-Americans he can not vote them on a prohibition plat form in two years. Mr. Bryan should not have said “practically,” but “idealistically Im possible.” The Fatherland should now make Bryan chief of its editorial staff. Now DanielB alone in the lion’s den

Bryant of White street, Lewiston, was pleasantly cele J brated Tuesday. June 8 at the home of j their daughter, Mrs. A. R. Prince, with whom they make their home. A fam i lly party was greatly enjoyed in the evening, and flowers, callers and best wishes from scores of friends made the day a happy one. Following the lead of the Calais banks, the Frontier National Bank of Eastport finds it necessary to charge a discount of one per cent on all Ca nadian currency and checks handled there after this date. The prime cause of the border banks taking this step is the attitude of the Canadian banks, which are charging American banks exchange for transfering Canadian funds into American funds, a practice that has never before been resorted to in this section. There appeared to be some excite ment on board the Shiloh yacht Coro i net, yesterday afternoon, says Thurs day’s Portland Press. The ship’s bell was rung violently several times as it would be rung in a fog to warn other craft today. Boats went to the Coronet from the Barracouta and then a boat came ashore landing two wo men, and going back to the yacht with several children on board. So far as anybody could see, everything was as it has been all along on board the two yachts. Shall the City of Portland take the chance of losing the valuable Sim mons art collection bequeathed to it under the residuary clause of the will of the late Franklin Simmon^ in the possible destruction of the artist’s studio in Rome by bombardment or aeroplane raid, or shall she follow a j possible hope of running the gamut of German submarines with the valu able collection on board a ship flying j a belligerent flag, that of England or i Italy? The choice lies between these evils and action upon two resolu tions presented by the administrators, Carroll S. Chaplain and Augustine Simmons, to the city government for action at the meeting next Thursday evening will tell the story. The arrival of Andrew Carnegie at Bar Harbor, where he plans to pass the summer, calls attention to the annual report of the Carnegie Foundation, which has just been issued and which gives the results of wide investiga j tions into educational matters. The I financial statement shows an expendi ture of J'16,000 during the year and 29 retiring allowances granted to college professors and 15 pensions to widows. People all about town, as well as in Lubec, Campobello and North Lubec, were started Monday night at shortly after 10 o’clock by a terrific explosion that appeared to be somewhere south of Eastport, just where no one seemed to know or to be able to find out, says the Eastport Sentinel. The interest of all was aroused, however, and the sound was the occasion of considerable con jecture and gossip about the streets. It was at first stated that a building on Campobello, near the narrows, had been blown up, but this was found to be incorrect. Then rumor had it that the explosion-was a blast set oft at the Can Plant in Lubec, where build ing operations are going on. Lubec, however, denied all knowledge of the matter and inquiries at Campobello elicited the Information that the explo sion was on that island. It was finally ascertained that while the house in question had not been attacked, dyna mite had been exploded quite near it. The building is located on, or very near, a house where liquor was sold, much against the wishes of the neigh bors, eight or nine years ago, and Which waa finally demolished by un known parties of that vicinity. It is possible, but cannot be stated with au thority, that this affair Monday night was In the nature of a preliminary demonstration against the present oc cupant of the location. The people of Calais, which city has been hard hit the paat few years by an' industrial depression, are much exer cised over the rumor that the big busi ness of receiving and reshipping coal from schooners to the trains of the Washington County railroad, bound for the pulp mills at Woodland may be discontinued there and removed to Bangor. The distance from Calais to Woodland is so much shorter than the distance from Bangor that Calais peo ple suspect there may be a movement in Bangor to reduce the freight rates. The coal business has been a big thing for a number of people at Calais and the local Board of Trade is keeping a sharp eye on the matter in order that it may. not be discriminated against. Hi': SEC. BRYAN’S RESIGNATION The Journal said Wednesday morn ing that Bryan's resignation came not wholly as a surprise to us and found on the arrival of our exchanges that nearly all shared that view, several of them using -almost the identical lan guage. It is also not surprising to see the unanimity with which the press of the country accepts and recognises the wisdom of Mr. Bryan’s action—as the best thing he ever did. Note what they say: Bryan a Sorry Misfit. (New York Press.) In forcing Mr. Bryan out of the Ad ministration as Secretary of State— and by the correspondence in the case it is patently nothing less then a mat ter of compulsion—the President will have the approval of the American people. They will unqualifiedly in dorse Mr. Wilson’s action, because in any event the Nebraskan was a sorry misfit in our Government. In the humiliating progression from a Mexi can fiasco to a European crisis he grew more fortifyingly so. And in the end he grew more dangerously so, for as long as our foreign relations were influenced by him this country was sure to be an object of mockery in Berlin. Bryan's Dismal Failure. (Kansas City Journal.) Mr. Bryan has failed dismally to measure up to the standard of states manship traditional to that high of fice. Thus far, it is currently be lieved, in all the bigger affairs of the Administration he has been a drag on, and a hindrance to the President rath er than a help, and it may be not too much to say that President Wilson is to be congratulated that the opportun ity for securing a really able adviser was not longer delayed. Sorry Service to His Country. (New York World.) Mr. Bryan’s resignation at this time and in these circumstances is a sorry service to his country. Americans un derstand Mr. Bryan’s passionate and often quixotic devotion to his ideals; but this is not how his resignation will impress the German Government. Ger many- does not know him as America knows him. We are not questioning Mr. Bryan’s sincerity in this matter. We are not denying the honesty of his convictions and the integrity of his purpose. For these we have only the highest respect, and we have only the highest regard for the moral courage which he displays in resigning the most responsible office in the Cabinet rather than be party to a policy that is in conflict with his conscience. What we are impeaching is Mr. Bryan’s judgment. Not strong at best, that judgment never worked to more deplorable purpose than when he broke with President Wilson on an issue which in its present aspects is still academic. Mr. Bryan’s resignation, however unfortunate, cannot change the attifude of the country toward the President. Rather it will mobilize public sentiment still more strongly behind Mr. Wilson, realizing as every citizen must realize that the President in this crisis has greater need than ever of emphatic popular support. Deserts at Grave Time. (Xew York Sun.) In almost any other circumstances the country would have rejoiced to hear that Mr. Bryan had given up a place for which his fantastic unfit ness has long been but too apparent. He has chosen to make his leaving as unpleasant as his staying. He de serts the President at a moment of grave international complication. He deliberately does all that lies in his' power to create a prejudice against the note to be sent to Germany, a note whose contents are still unknown to the public. His remarkable tender sense of duty makes him forget that he owes a duty to the United States. In stead. and here is the injury that he can do by creating a semblance of di vided counsels in the Cabinet, where he stands alone, he gives aid and com fort to the opponents in Germany and here of the firm assertion of the rights of Americans upon the seas. Though Mr. Bryan's resignation strengthens the Cabinet, it will be long before Americans forgive the man who sulked and ran away when honor and patriot ism should have kept him at his post. A High Public .Service. (Xew York Tribune.) In forcing an issue with Mr. Bryan and compelling the latter to offer his resignation as Secretary of State President Wilson has performed a high public service. He has sacrificed per sonal comfort to patriotic duty. It would have been far more convenient from a party point of view to have kept the Cabinet intact, retaining Mr. Bryan in office by flattering his self esteem and compromising with him on some details of the second note to Ger many. But such a utilitarian com promise necessarily clashed with the President's higher obligations to him self and to the country. It was ob vious that national interests would have to be consulted first, and na tional interests could not be served by the retention at the head of the State Department of a man who put personal theories above national policy and was prepared to use his influence to make futile the assertion by the United States of its purpose to maintain at all hazards the rights of Americans law fully traveling on the high seas. Bryan’s Wisest Action. (New York Times.) Mr. Bryan has done well in resign ing. It is perhaps the wisest act of his political career. Differing ir reconcilably with the President in re spect to the form and substance of the reply to German’s note, Mr. Bryan finds himself also in irreconcilable dif ference with the vast majority of his countrymen. It was out of the ques tion that he should continue to be Secretary of State. But the difference over the note to Germany after all is hardly more than the occasion of his retirement. The act has many caus es, and the state of mind which pro duced his resignation was one that may be called cumulative. For many months Mr. Bryan has had to feel that he was an unconsidered personage in the Administration. The forms of friendly relation and of counsel were maintained. Power and influence he no longer possessed. Undoubtedly, too, he has felt that he was sorely di minished in the public regard. His inability to assent to the President’s determination as to the form of the note to Germany put him in an un tenable position from which there was no refuge save by resigning. Fortunately President Wilson is a man of clear vision and of proved firmness. He is a strong man, such as a great nation needs at such an hour, and in all his Cabinet there was no other man so weak in Judgment, so irresolute, as William J. Bryan. Bryan’s Convictions All Wrong. (New York Herald) The President goes on, leaving Mr. Bryan behind. The very fact of Mr. Bryan’s resignation as Secretary of State tells the whole story of the mo mentous news. Every man, woman and child in the country can under stand. President Wilson Intends to pursue his course made obligatory by the note of February and imperative by his note of May 13. Be the conse quences what they may, this country will insist upon the demands made upon Germany regarding its subma rine warfare. A terrific struggle has been in prog ress in Washington. How the Presi dent has been tried in the last few days probably never will be known, but he has pursued his course with the consciousness that the entire American people was behind him. It is well to give Mr. Bryan the credit for his convictions. But his con victions are all wrong. His retirement should be heartily welcomed by the country. When war became inevitable between Great Britain and Germany last August several members of the British cabinet resigned. President Wilson is fortunate in getting rid of his Haldane before the decks are even cleared for action, but he did not get rid of him quickly enough. Col. Henry Watterson of the Louis ville Courier-Journal states it right when he says that a break with Ger many was inevitable from the first and “the sooner the state of war is declared the better.” Bryan Betrays President. (Portland Press.) The most of the metropolitan papers agree that the only unfortunate thing about Bryan’s resignation is the time that he took to do it. It looks like skulk ing. The rest of the country without re gard to politics is endeavoring to stand by the President in his dealings with Ger many. Not everyone would have fol lowed the course that he has mapped out, but now that he has blazed the way,- it is the duty of all citizens, the humble and the great, to follow where he leads. This, all were doing, when suddenly comes the man who was supposed to be the President's closest political asso ciate, and announces to the world that he will not stand behind him in his en deavor to bring about an understanding with Germany. Disqualified in Various Ways. (Philadelphia Press.) Mr. Bryan has shown himself both mentally and temperamentally dis qualified for his important position. His heart all along has seemed to be in the Chautauqua circuit and not in state affairs, except in the filling of the of fices. His resignation will serve to strengthen the Administration in the opinion of thoughtful citizens, though its politicals effect in the States where Mr. Bryan’s influence still counts for something remains to be seen. The Government Still Lives. (Washington Post.) Mr. Bryan’s resignation as Secretary of State is not a surprise. The place has not been congenial to him, and he has been more and more inclined to turn from politics to the field of re ligion and temperance. Mr. Bryan finds this an opportune time to take the step which he has long had in mind. The affairs of the Department of State will go on without interruption, and probably the office of Secretary will be filled by a man better adapted to the position. His One Creditable Act. (Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.) The resignation is for Germany the most gratifying episode in the United States since the war began. It is more in harmony with Germany’s wishes than anything else could be at this time, unless it were a complete Ameri can backdown. It will be construed in Germany as notice that there is schism in the President’s household, a division in the Government, a differ ence in public opinion in the United States. Bryan has done the one con spicuous and creditable act of his ca reer in the state Department, by get ting out of it. One Note of Commendation. (The American.) He (Mr. Bryan) has taken the only course open to him, and is to be com mended for his strict adherence to duty aftd the public welfare, as he sees them. Perhaps in thus following hie conscience Mr. Bryan has done his country a real service by emphasizing the far divergence of the Administra tion, of which he now ceases to be a member, from that strict and impar tial neutrality which should charac terize this nation, and by the observ ance of which alone it can escape en tanglement in the world war. Tho Bryan Resignation. (New York Globe.) The news of Mr. Bryan’s resignation will give great satisfaction throughout Germany. Berlin may not be decor ated with flags and the school children may not be given a holiday, but there will be general rejoicing. The resignation will not bo at tributed by Germany to the fact that Mr. Bryan is a peace-at-any-prlce man. The men of blood and Iron who cod trot German destinies do not much believe in the reality of pacifists. Pro fession of pacifist principles is to them merely a screen. They will be dis posed to assume, engrossed as they are with the war, that the resignation in dicates that the Dernberg mission has succeeded—that pro-German sentiment in America to bow so strong that it has captured one of the chief officers of our government. The inference will be similar to the Inference that would be drawn in this country should Sazonoff throw up his portfolio, or Sir Edward Grey, or Herr von Jagow. for something you might as well have done without would have started a Sav ings Account here. Take the next dollar you’re tempted to throw away and start the account which, once started and bearing interest at 4 per cent compounded four times a year will grow fast er than you now think possible.

Libby, Treas. John B. Liggett, Vice Pres. Thomas H. Bodge, Asst Treat George W. Vickery, Vice Pres. Janlldr!* Bryan, tha Selfish. (New York Telegram.) William Jennings Bryan stands be fore the great American public today in his true light. Mr. Bryan is about the most selfish of individuals imaginable. Since the very day in Chicago, in 1896, when he ascended the platform in the Na tional Democratic Convention and sprung on an unsuspecting public his carefully rehearsed “Crown of thorns and cross of gold" speech, he has missed no opportunity whatever for self-aggrandizement.

Mr. Bryan is not retired to private life; away down deep in his heart he fully expects to kpep in the public view, but as a future factor in Ameri can politics he is deader than Raineses, and Rameses has been dead for some time. i Mr. Bryan a Misfit. (New York Tribune.) In forcing an issue with Mr. Bryan and compelling the latter to offer his resignation as Secretary of State, President Wilson has performed, a high public service. He has sacrificed personal comfort to patriotic duty. It would have been far more convenient from a party point of view to have kept the cabinet intact. Out of office Mr. Bryan may be expected to oppose Mr. Wilson as energetically as he has supported him while a member of his political family. But such a utilitarian compromise necessarily clashed with the Presi dent’s higher obligation to himself and to the country. To Mr. Bryan’s credit it must be said that this devotion to his personal ideas overcame his eagerness to re main in public service. Mr. Bryan never should have been Secretary of State in any cabinet. His great delusion is that the world has got rid forever of the powder cart. With the whole world aflame with war, such an obsession on the part of the head of a department of foreign affairs is a peril to the nation which employs him. A man of Mr. Bryan’s type is a misfit in any cabinet in such a crisis. It is a sign of Mr. Wilson’s devel opment as a statesman that he now recognizes the folly of the Bryan ap pointment. The next Secretary of State should r.ot be a politician. He should be, first, last and all the time, a diplomat. Bryan a Deserter. (Baltimore American.) The country looks upon Mr. Bryan as a deserter, yet this is no time to en gage in criminations. Still, sentiment will be strong against the Secretary of State who retires from the guns while the diplomatic issues are being fought out between Germany and the United States. The passing of Mr. Bryan from the Cabinet is not of the same importance as the effect that his self elimination may have.

New York, June 10.—Such misgivings as Wall Street conjured up yesterday in connection with the retirement of Mr. Bryan were largely dispelled today. The stock market opened today with a firm undertone, the movement soon rising to one of all-around strength. Trading pro ceeded at a leisurely pace in the early session, later becoming apathetic. There was a feeling that the Washington note to Berlin would go far towards clearing the political atmosphere. Gains embraced all parts of the list, but coppers and affiliated shares were the chief features, a logical result of the remarkable trade conditions. Copper sold as high as ffij cents today, its best prices in eight years, and lead, which also en ters extensively into the making of war munitions, was quoted at fij to 7 cents, the high-water mark for this product in 30 years. Incidentally one of the large copper producing companies today de clared an "extra” dividend of 3 per cent, against the previous similar disburse ment of 1 per cent. War specialties again occupied a posi tion of prominence, with gains of 2 to 6J points. General Electric scoring the max imum rise. Bethlehem Steel failed to ferred stock sold at US, the highest quo tation in its history. United States Steel was the most ac tive stock and in fair demand at steady advances, the corporation's May state ment showing an increase of over 100,009 tone against a decrease of almost as much in the preceding month, confirmed recent reports of trade betterment. Motor stacks gained 2 to 4 points and Pacific Mail's rise of 3g was associated with the reported early severance of the compa ny's relations with Southern rnelfic and the advantageous sale of its properties. Total sales amounted to 494,000 shares. Another large installment of gold was re ceived from Canada, making a total of $23,000,000 received from that source on the current movement. The Bank of England increased its gold holdings by about $3, 700,000 during the week and strengthened its reserve liabilities by a small margin. Bonds were firm but without especial feature. Total sales, par value, aggre gated $1,902,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. New York Money Market Xew York, June 10. Mercantile paper 31(p» ;>er rent.

Caring For O’Brien Saves Differences Between the Nationalists and Cabinet London, June 10.—7.23 P. M.—The I differences between the Nationalist party and the cabinet concerning the appointment of law* officers for Ire- 1 have been settled by permitting ifftatius O'Brien to retain the Irish prd chancellorship, instead of that of fCe being given to the Right. Hon. James H. M. Campbell and by mak ,ns John Gordon, Unionist member of par'.'.ament for Londonderry, attorney pfr.eral. Mr. Gordon, although an anti tome ruler, is not so pronounced an Hfterite as Mr. Campbell. At a na aonalist meeting today Vesolutions were passed which declared that the party shall “Abstain in view of the extraordinary dancers of the present crisis from taking any hostile action against the new government in con nection with the appointment of a Lnionist to the attorney generalship of Ireland. The resolutions express the conviction that nothing has occurred in any way to Jeopardise "The cer tain coming of the home rule act into operation at the conclusion of the war, provided always that meantime the people protect and keep intact the na tional organization and preserve the essential unity of the country.” FRENCH DISCUSSION OF THE HANDLING OF RESOURCES--AN ANSWER FROM WAR MINISTER Paris, June 10.—(C.30 p. M.—The conduct tf the war came under discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on a bill proposed |>y M. Dalbiez respecting the proper as signment of men at the front or in the services supplying the army. Deputy Purafour affirmed that France possessed manufactories, a corps of en gineers and workmen of the first quali ty, adding. “.Vo adversary could resist If we knew how to utilize tnese resources. Germany before the war had 75,000 'work men at Essen; upon the decree of mobil ization the number w .as raised to 120,000. What happened in France was that the workmen were taken out of the factories ly the mobilization and sent to tgte front and their places inadequately sup plied by women and these who could" not be mobilized. This was because the gov ernment was absorbed in the problem or strength at the front." Indictment of Ministry Albert Frbre exclaimed: “This is a ter-j nble accusation against the minister of war.” Mr Furafour replied that he did not vish to impair the agreement and unity which existed among Frenchmen and that if he denounced what was wrong it was for the purpose of trying to have it repaired. When the government saw their mis Up. he said, "and undertook to remedy t. their methods were arbitrary and the error was made of allowing untrained men to come back from the front among expert workmen." Insufficient Workmen Mr. Purafour alluded to Intrigues to oWm exemption and cited some exam Wl Thus the story grew that work r* generally in the factories were sim ;!y those who were evading service at the front. The mission of the men in the factories, he said, is as sacred as that of the combatants, and he declared that it is still notorious that there are insuffi cient workmen engaged in the industries supplying the army. Millerand’s Answer The minister of war, Alexander Mil hwand, in answering attacks that had^ been previously made upon his depart ment, said: "There is no dissension to that por tion of the* bill ■which has for its dis tribution and utilization of then for national defence. But it appears that the articles of the bill have a more pre cise and limited end in view, natnely, to render to the nation all resources in able bodied men. "Two questions must be considered— what measures have already nfeen tak en to this end prior to the date of the proposed bill, and what will the bill add to these measures.” The minister proceeded to answer i these questions. He showed by facts' and dates for each of the categories the measures which had been taken, and said he was glad to speak in behalf of that category of men who had been most criticized—those men who had bfen relieved of active duty at the! front and had been placed in the fac tories and were working for national defense. He recalled the trying circumstances at the opening of the war, when, in ab solute necessity he was forced to call upon all industrial workers for the hurried manufacture of munitions and war material, and he described how he i had to hunt through all the depots and use every possible means to find the necessary workmen. The number of men taken into the munitions branch of the service, he announced, was 650, 635. The minister suggested that the i large majority of those working in the j factories could be placed under the i control of one man or a commission j without hindering the production of! war material. He proposed to continual with the aid of the Chamber and es- i pecially certain members the control! of the output of munitions. In conclusion M. Millerand said: "David Lloyd George, in a magnifi cent speech, paid homage to_ the work of the French in munitions'. But we must intensify our labors. Let us with hold all measures which seem impru dent.” MARCONI INVENTION LETS ITALY INTERPRET AUSTRIAN MESSAGES Paris, June 10, 6.45 A. M.—A report Issued by Admiral Thaon Di Revel, chief of the Italian naval staff, shows that Austrian wireless messages are intercepted regularly by the Italians, savg a special despatch from Rome. The Italians have been enabled to ob tain this information, which is of im mense military value, by the use of a new device invented by Mr. Marconi. On the other hand, the device is said to make it impossible for the Austrians to intercept Italian messages. APPEARANCE OF CHANGE ALONG CAUCIAN FRONT-IN THE WEST London, June 10, 15.02 P. M Careful feadinp betwen the lines of the vari ous official announcements of the last 12 hours leads British observers of the situation on the continent to the be ljff that the wearied Russians have been succesful in gaining a breathing ■“face along the eastern front. Further ®ore, evidence of the stubborn oppo se*1 which the Austro-Germans are said to be meeting near the center of the line in Galicia is declared here to «ist in the statement from Petrograd ■hat 2000 Austro-German prisoners have ;'een taken in a series of counter-at tacks near Przemysl. Halted at Dniester According to Russian reports, the Austro-German offensive in southeast Galicia lias not been able to cross the b'er Dniester at any point other than furuwna, which is 40 miles from Lera uerg and which they reached last Sun* tay, contradicts this with ths etafEflent that the right wing of th« *nny under General von Unstngea has advanced 10 miles further and occupied Stanlslau, an important railroad ter. In the west the French make their usual report of slow progress, accom panied by the repulse of German count er-attack^ The FrAch claim and Berlin admits that the French now are in occupation of of the entire village of NeuvlUe St Vaast, while only a fraction of the Labyrinth is left in Genaarf hands. From other portions of the French front come reports of minor advances. Italian Resistance According to Vienna the efforts of the Italians to cross the river Isonzo near Corizia have been repulsed after a serious engagement. It would appear evident that the Italians h*ye met the first difficult problem of their invasion of Austria in this endeavor to croes the Isonzo. although they claim to have a foothold at some places on both banks. The resignation of William J. "Bryan an secretary of stats is still an ab topie of discussion with the .t of tha Amer nnte to QeitoaSy is awaited with gfaai eagerness. REVOLUTIONARY WAR ADOPTED AT N.

ITALY REPORTS .THE CAPTURE OF 400 AUSTRIANS Rome. June 9, Via London, June 10, 5.15 A. M.—An official statement Issued tonight at the Italian war office was as follows: "Reports received of the operations on June 7 and 8 show that the Italians j In pursuing along the Isonzo river the task of dislodging the Austrians from j strong natural positions and establish-! ing bridgeheads are displaying great j bravery and tenacity In the face of heavy obstacles intensified by floods. “We have occupied the town of Mon falcone. Our losses were not serious while we took 400 Austrian prisoners." LIMIT OF BRITISH RECRUITINO NOT TO BE EXCEEDED _ London, June 10. 4.35 P. M-—The to tal number of men for the army and the navy sanctioned by Parliament for service eo far in the present war is (3,200;000. “This number will Rot be ex ceeded without authority of Parlia ment,” said Premier Asquith today, thus setting at rest the rumors that other, forces had been mobilized with out public knowledge. BERLIN DENIES BALTIC LOSSES AS ASSERTED Berlin, June 10.—(By wireless to Lon don, 8.58 P. M.).—Only one German ship, a collier, was sunk by a Russian subma rine in the naval engagement of June 5 in the Baltic sea oft the Gulf of Riga, according to reliable information ob tained here. It is stated that a German destroyer, which was sailing by the side of the collier, was slightly damaged by the same torpedo but was able to make port. Denial was made of a report pub lished In the Army Messenger at Petro grad that there were explosions on other vessels attacked by Russian submarines or that any other damage was done. REITERATION OF THE f ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY RUSSIAN OFFICIALS Petrograd, June 10.—(Via London, 12.13 P. M.).—In spite of the German denials It is insisted In authoritative circles here that one German torpedo boat and one transport were sunk and another torpedo boat damaged by a Russian submarine in the recent naval engagement in the Baltic. FRENCH CLAIM FURTHER GAIN IN LABYRINTH Pari*. June 10.—(2.30 P. M.).—The French war office this afternoon issued a report on the progress of hostilities which reads as follows: “There was all ast night a very vio lent artillery engagement in the region between Lorette and the sugar refinery at Souchee.

Albany, N. Y., June 10.—Former Pres ident TVft, who appeared here tonight before a constitutional convention com mittee to advocate greater budget mak ing power* for the executive in both the state and nation, declined to discuss the note to Germany. He laughed loudly when someone suggested him as a possi ble successor to William Jennings Bryan as secretary of state. “This has been an evening filled with humor,” he said, “so why not end it with a Joke?” TAFT COMMENDS AND CRITICIZES LABOR UNIONS AT BOSTON Boston, June 10.—Labor unions were both commended and criticised by former President Taft in an address at the Wentworth Institute commencement ex ercises today, Mr. Taft declared that trades unions bad maintained wages, and had secured satisfactory legislation to modify the bsrthnees of the common law to the em ployee. He said that if he were a work man he would Join a union.

Bach a system destroyed the initiative and took nway ambition, be said. MASSACHUSETTS PEACE SOCIETY SPUTS OVER PETITION TO WILSON CALLING FOR PEACE AT ANY PRICE Boston, June 10.—The Massachusetts Peace Society at Its annual meeting to night refused to adopt resolutions of fered as a petition to President Wilson expressing to him "our belief that noth ing should be allowed to alter the hither to admirable purpose of our government to maintain peace.” The resolutions were presented by Rev. Charles F. Dole. Protest was immedi ately made by Joseph Walker, a former Republican candidate for governor, and by Samuel J. Elder, president of the so ciety, who said that this was not an op portune time for such sentiments. "A resolution for peace would be all right,” said Mr. Walker, "but to resolu tion for peace at any price, I say no.” Mr. Elder said: “We desire peace if it can be secured consistently with safeguarding the rights of non-combatants, women and children and of pur merchant marine. It would be improper for us to take such action. The note to Germany has been sent. Nothing that we can say or do could change it if we would.” Although there were nearly 100 per sons present, the vote on the question was nine to 15. The resolutions as presented, said in part: “The Massachusetts Peace Society sends its greetings to the President of the United States and its sympathy with him in facing the arduous times now before him. We believe that this is precisely the time when a strong nation should keep its temper and its patience, being assured that it is bet ter to have justice if necessary some what later through the willing consent of those who have hurt us, than to seek and compel justice by bloodshed, and so to make enemies of those we desire to love as our friends.” Subsequently, President Elder re signed his office, stating that he had decided to do so some time since. SAY LLOYD GEORGE WILL RESIGN IF NOT GIVEN FREE HAND AS THE BRITISH MINISTER OF MONITIONS London, June 10, 5.55 P. M.—"Where Germany once had a marked superi ority in men, she now has a superi ority in ammunition, an advantage she will press to its fullest. The only way for the allies to avert disaster is to equip themselves and to do this Great Britain must stand behind David Lloyd George as minister of munitions, as one man. Moreover, if he is not given a free hand he may resign.” Sir William Robertson Nicoll thus sums up the situation as he sees it, in the current issue of the British Week ly, one of the best known journals in England. Sir William is the editor of the paper and in addition he is a close friend of the head of the newly creat ed ministry of munitions. He writes: ‘‘Wo say with certainty that the next three months of the war will be ex tremely critical ones for the allies. The superior strength of Germany in mu nitions of war has given her a second great opportunity of which she will take full advantage." The writer admits that the German plans may miscarry, "as they have mis carried before, and especially so if the Dardanelles should be forced.” But the ultimate Issue, he goes on, is whether Great Britain can within the limited pe riod supply herself and her allies with ammunition. “It follows that Mr. Lloyd George must have his chance. To carp at him in the midst of his mighty task should be re garded as a work of an enemy. We will go further. If Mr. Lloyd George finds that he is hopelessly hampered by con ditions imposed upon him by the govern ment, or more likely by the House of Commons, he will, and he should, refuse to go on. Everything depends on him. “It will be hard to live through a con scription which means the forced under taking of foreign service. It must not be pressed Just now. It does not need to be pressed.” FRENCH WRITER CRITICIZES ACT OF WM. BRYAN Paris, June 10.—(5 A. M.).—Great im portance has been attached by the morn ing newspapers to the resignation of Sec retary of State Bryan from the cabinet of President Wilson. They express the belief that it explains the delay in an swering the German reply to the first American note of protest of the sinking of the Lusitania and forecasts the con tents of the second note just sent. "It must be admitted that such a res ignation, and above all such a letter, surprises us in Europe,” says Jean Her bette, one of the best known French writers on foreign affairs. "It is hard for us to understand that a minister, at a time when his country was discussing with Germany so grave a question as the use of submarines against merchant ships, could part com pany with his chief executive and open ly declare that he is in complete dis agreement with him as to the methods to be employed. "We should say this minister had not the right to diminish the prestige of his government before foreign countries, but Mr. Bryan has a double excuse. First of all, ministerial discipline must have seemed rather irksome to a man who so many times has aimed at the presidency. Then, too, his departure docs not in any way lessen the prestige or his govern ment, for that prestige rests on the ar dent patriotism of the American people, on the deep sense of Justice, honor, high character and popularity of President Wilson and, last but not least, on the powerful fleet which President Wilson reviewed last month.’* GERMAN PRESS ON RESIGNATION OF MR. BRYAN Berlin, June 10.—(Via London, 4.45 A. M.).—In discussing the resignation of Mr. Bryan as secretary of state, the Tage blatt while not imputing to him pro German sympathies and declaring that at times he even has seemed less friend ly than President Wilson, assumes that his political experiences "recoiled from sharp action." Germania, a Catholic organ, thinks Mr. Bryan’s retirement means an important change in the American policy which probably will be favorable to German interests.

There was not a little wrangling and until a late hour it ap peared that an understanding between the several parties would be all but im possible. There was much debate as to the number of players other than local that each team might be authorized to employ, the possibilities of forming creditable teams without engaging out side players, and the personnel of nines to be made up under one plan and an other. The meeting finally arrived at an understanding on certain points, however, and decided definitely to open the Trolley League season with the four teams June 23, the schedule to be arranged later, probably within three or four days, by the schedule commit tee.

It is a great pity that there is not great er publicity regarding international re lations and diplomatic communications so that the people may be in a position to form their judgment not after but, previous to definite action being tak en. I suppose, however, that thia thought can find its acceptance only, when more normal conditions Bhall' prevail.

Hinckley, brigadier general and department commander of the Military Council, Department of Maine, Patriarchs Militant, I. O. O. F., j has made his third and last annual communication to the representatives cf the Council, in which he tells some interesting and important fac.ts about the condition of the different cantons sind the order as -a whole throughout the State. He says: "I repeat what I said last year that it is apparent on every hand that our branch of the order was never in as sood condition in this department as it is at the present time. On Jan. 1, 1913, when your department command er assumed command we had 16 can tons, with a total membership of 1111. On Jan. 1, 1914, we had 19 cantons, with a total membership of 1307. On Jan. 1, 1915, we had 21 csyitons, with a net membership of 1468. At the pres ent time we have 22 cantons, with a total membership of at least 1600. Our net gain for the year ending Jan. 1, 1915, was 161 chevaliers, and for the two years 357. In order to make a net gain of 50 per cent in both number of cantons and total membership dur ing the three years, it will be nec essary to muster in two more cantons and make a net gain of 199 during this year. Present indications are that they will be accomplished very easily, and it will be indeed pleasing to turn over to my successor a department in such an excellent condition. This condition has been brought about by the earnest and intelligent work of the officers and chevaliers throughout the entire department, for which loyalty your Department commander extends his thanks. "It will undoubtedly be of interest to all to know that at the present time there are only four departments com prising the entire army with a larger membership than the Department of Maine, namely, New York, California, Ohio and Oregon. "Every canton in our department, with the exception of Canton Lafayette in Rockland, is in excellent condition, and reports from the various cantons since Jan. 1, indicate that more chev aliers are being taken in this year than at any previous period. Within its next few months I shall either take the warrant from Canton Lafayette or have a complete reorganization of the same. I have reason to believe that the latter can be acomplished. and be fore the first day of January, next, there will once more be a flourishing canton in this city. New Cantons Mustered. "Since our last council meeting I have mustered in Canton Bridgton, No. 15, with a warrant list of 34, and tomorrow you will see them in the general parade with practically every chevalier in a new full-dress uniform. There are several other localities in which I have been working in thg, in terests of a new canton, and would have succeeded in mustering them in had it not been for the financial con dition. We are in hopes that this ob stacle will be overcome and several new cantons instituted before the close of the year. ‘'Vour department commander has visited many of the cantons on busi ness and social occasions, during the past year. The thing which, perhaps, has appealed to him on these visita tions more than anything else is the high personnel of the membership. We are looking for members, but above all we want men who in their every-day life exemplify the cardinal principles of our order. “During the past year an unusually large number of dispensations have been granted. From the beginning your department commander has urged visitations on the part of the cantons to lodges and encampments and has encouraged social functions of various kinds. The Patriarchs Militant uni form in the department of Maine has been very much in evidence during the past year, and we feel certain this has been productive of much good. “Not a single complaint has been made to your department commander since he first assumed office. This certainly speaks well for the high moral standing of the personnel of the army in this department. Recommendations Made. “The following recommendations art made: “1. That a committee of three b« appointed to name the place and mak« arrangements for our next annua council meeting and field day. "2.

The modern smuggler here however, is chiefly interested in getting contra band out of the country, rather than bringing it in. A visitor to an up-to-date smug gler’s den, of which a number exist in the center of Rotterdam, would probably find a middle-aged clerkly German dressed In a well-cut business suit at a desk. In front of him, small heaps of spices, grain of various spec ies, oilcake and raw rubber and sam ple bottles of burning and lubricating oils. From time to time the smuggler ihief takes the telephone receiver Sown, calls a number and bargains in terse phrases over the prices of job lots of the articles, samples of which lie before him, sent for »his approval By merchants and dealers who held stocks more or less extensive before the new and strict government regu lations calling for an inventory were issued. Then follow other telephone calls Bn shippers or their skippers. The smuggler chief is trying to arrange lor the transport of his illicit exports icross the border line, into Germany >r Belgium. Freights for this trade ire high and the smuggler’s efforts ire directed towards beating down :he shipper to as low a figure as pos sible; but the shipper holds out, for Be knows smuggled goods bring high ■ates when safely brought to their lestination. Torture would not force the smug glers to disclose the methods by whcih hey manage to foreword the contra >and beyond the closely guarded fron ier. It is hinted, however, thaj many 'ailroad cars ostensibly conveying ’relght from Holland to Denmark and ’rom Denmark to Holland are myste •iously uncoupled and disappear while Bassing over the intervening German :erritory. Dutch fishing boats, too, ire often seized off the coast by Ger nan patrol boats and taken into Ger nan ports, whence they are released ifter their cargoes have been unload ed to the evident satisfaction of the skippers. Dozens of Rhine lighters Bass daily up and down the river vhose course runs through Germany ind Holland, and occasionally one is leld up because of the presence of il icit cargo; but it is possible that for each one stopped a number of others Bass muster with forbidden goods on Board and are received with welcome By the German authorities. From lumerous points along the frontier, flosely guarded though it is by Dutch Lroops, come reports of cattle and torses being driven across into Ger nan territory where the lines of sen inels are thin or woods prevent a dear view. The gains to be secured by the run ling of contraband are so tempting hat the efforts of the authorities have >een rendered futile. Practically half the Dutch troops now mobilized are engaged in guarding the frontiers, not against foreigners, but against Dutch men trying to pass contraband. It is I difficult, however, to guard every yard of the border-line and if the attention 1 of a sentry can be distracted for only a few minutes this gives the wily smuggler his chance to get across I with his goods. i The Dutch soldier, himself until re cently a civilian, naturally dislikes shooting at his own countrymen, even when they are observed in the act of crvading the law. The Government I has therefore been compelled to offer some inducement to augment his alertness in putting a stop to this profitable trade, whose success brings the Government into many difficulties with the belligerent powers, who ac cuse the Dutch of acts not in accord with strict neutrality. A reward amounting to ten per cent of the value of goods seized in illegal transit is now offered to the soldiers and this has had such effect on their watchfulness that captures of smugglers are be coming more frequent daily. On sev eral occasions recently soldiers have shot and killed smugglers who have defied their summons to halt while engaged in contraband running. One soldier is reported to have received $400 as his share of the reward for stopping a large parcel of smuggled goods just as it was about to be taken across the border.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEW YORK Maple Street, Augusta, Maine WHAT WILL NOW HAPPEN TO THE HAGUE CONVENTION DECREES? i (Associated Press Correspondence.) Berlin, May 15.—The changes hat the present war may render necessary in the decrees of the Hague conven tion are discussed at considerable length in an article by Professor Sig urd Ibsen, which is prominently pub lished in the VossiscW Zeitung. New conditions and developments without precedent in former history, says Prof. Ibsen, must be provided for in new regulations and treaties. In naval warfare, for example, he observes: "The right to wage war at sea must be regulated anew. In fact, this has never been established on a firm basis. But no one could have fore seen that it rested on a foundation so utterly unstable as events have proved. "There have been many attempts to place the law for war at sea on a firm foundation. The second Hague Convention and the London Confer ence of 1909 drew up a whole list of regulations In relation to sea warfare which altogether made a complete book of statutes on the subject. But the i difficulty was that many of these reg i ulations were either rendered unwork able by reservations or did not gain the force of law through failure to i obtain recognition from the govern ments concerned. This was the fate of the most important volume of dec larations, the oft-quoted London Dec larations, and England was able very soon without announcing any formal breach of the law to overstep the boundaries of the agreement. Nat urally Germany went in for reprisals, and the result is a sea warfare which stands in contradiction to almost every international right that has so far been laid down. “However uncertain the obligations were in the past, there were certain limitations which could not be over stepped. But it seems that at present there is no limitation to the claim of every State to do as it pleases. The law of contraband has received a de velpoment which no one forsaw. The trade and the shipping of neutral countries have been placed under a control which has become humiliating. The sinking of enemy merchant ships, i which formerly was allowed only when unavoidable, has now become a regular practice. "This condition of things is due to the working of two factors. In the first place, sea warfare has become a much more intensive way than here tofore anyone could have believed, a battle of financial weapons, a bitter fight for the means of existence. In the second place the Improvement of the modem means of war, in partl cular the submarine and mines, has developed a kind of war which is with out precedent’ in former history and which falls by necessity outside the range of international law, which was adapted to conditions very different from the present. “All this must be put right at the next Hague Conference. It will be i the aim of the Conference to make I international law as far as possible square with these new facts. More I than this one canot say at the pres ent moment. No one can say what regulations will be drawn up for, con traband, blockades, and other matters of this kind, or what code of conduct can be drawn up for combatants in this sphere of warfare, or what can be conceded to neutrals. "These regulations must be drawn up in the light of experience and ac cording to the power and influence which different states or groups of states can exercise. Anything, how ever, will be better than the present loose arrangement.” The writer, turning to the interna tional regulations governing military and field operations, maintains that international rights have been ignored by the French and English in their treatment of enemy subjects and enemy property in their countries. As to humanizing warfare. Profes sor Ibsen has little hope of interna tional law being able to accomplish much. "Warfare, instead of being humanized," he remarks, "must nec essarily become more and more fright ful, in accordance with the ceaseless development of technical skill in the provision of new and more perfect weapons. It is an illusion to believe that war can bo waged in gentler fash ion. There is only one proposition worth considering, and that is to see that no occasion arises for war. This, however, is not the work of interna tional lawyers, but of politicians and diplomats.” Class Day exercises at Foxcroft Academy were held Wednesday eve ning in Society hall. The program follows: Class history, Ernest J. Bailey; prophecy. Miss Bernice Has- 1 sell; address to undergraduates; Eu gene Arnold; presentation of gifts, Clifton W. Flynt; class will, Gordon E.

A NON-ALCOHOLIC TONIC Many people need a tonic at thi3 time of year, old folks, weak folks, thin people, people who are run-down from too much work—and vacation still many weeks away. Nervous peo ple also need a tonic but cannot safe ly take alcohol. A non-alcoholic tonic that will build up the blood and strengthen the nerves is what most people need and Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are exactly that. The one symptom of thin blood that everybody recognizes is pallor. It shows so gradually that other people are liable to notice it before you do. But it is important that you should notice and heed the warning because the thin blood that causes the pallor betrays some drain on the body or some poisoning by its own waste materials that, if not corrected, will result in physical breakdown and ill health. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills not only build up the blood but they have a direct strengthening action on the nerves. As they are free from nar cotics and any harmful or poisonous drugs they are safe for every member of the family. Your own druggist sells Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills.

SOCIALISTS TO TRY INTERNAT1 CONGRESS, JULY, THE HACK f Associated Press Correspondence) The Hague, May 23.—An international Congress of Socialists is to be attempt ed at The Hague early in July. All t the neutral countries will be represent ed, and delegations have already been selected to represent England and Germany, but it is not yet certain that' Russia, France and Belgium will par ticipate. The Russian Socialist lead ers have accepted the invitation sub ject to certain special conditions. The Belgium leader, M. Vandervelde, has refused point-blank to have anything to do with any conference in which Germany participates. The French So cialists and Syndicalists also declined the invitation in the first place, but M. Ottorino Morgan, leader of the Italian Neutralist Party, has gone to Paris in hopes of persuading them to reconsider. Austria and Hungary will be represented if it is possible for their delegates to get through Germany for this purpose. The leading German delegates will be Messrs. Scheidemann and Bern stein. The English delegates, although already chosen, have not been an uounced; they include, however, rep resentatives of both pro-war and anti war movements in the British Labor Party. The preliminary organization of the Congress is under charge of the Swiss Socialists. The tentative platform, which is understood to have received the approval of committees in Germany, Austria, England, Italy and the Scan dinavian countries, contains the fol lowing demands relating to the Euro pean war: 1. Evacuation of Belgian and French territory and indemnity to Belgium. 2. Suppression in future of all se cret treaties. 3. Immediate limitation of arma ments by all countries, with a view to ultimately abolishing altogether all armed forces of individual states. 4. Obligatory arbitration and con ciliation in cases of disputes between states. 5. Absolute right of all small nation alities to decide their future destiny; this decision to be made a matter of referendum in which all adult males and females shall participate. Accyrding to reports reaching So cialist headquarters here, the German government’s attitude toward the party has been growing more severe- during the past two months, ‘a number of Socialist papers ha vet been suppressed been prohibited or allowed only under strict police supervision. At Duessel dorf, which is said to be the center of a pronounced peace propaganda, there have been frequent police raids and searches of Socialist houses. A number of Socialist meetings have been held In Bavaria, XVurttemberg, Baden, Hesse, and the Rhine provinces recently to discuss the rise in the prices of many of the necessaries of life. Altogether more than 60 meet ings were held within a few days, and many of the speakers dealt very frank ly with the broader issues of the war and its problems. In more than 40 of these meetings resolutions were adopt ed which amounted to a demand for the speedy conclusion of peace. Some of the speeches were strongly anti war, and the whole movement was re warded by the military authorities 2 seditious.

O. Cobb and the Division secretary-treasurer: Commander’s Report. A feature or the afternoon meeting of the Bona ot Veterans was the report of the division commander, Dr. William O Cobb of Gardiner, who referred to the prosperous condition of the order, say ing that he could see only a glorious fu ture ahead of it. "We are met as repre sentatives of sons of great and noble men, not only of the 2000 members of our order, but of the 10,000 who should and are to be members. May we review care fully the work of the past, plan wisely the future, and legislate with much thought and deliberation, realizing that we are building the foundation of a mighty organization that 1* to live until the end of time. It is not only to honor our father* and perpetuate their honor, but it is to have broader principles, the upbuilding of humanity, teaching love of country, loyalty to the flag and true pa triotism. The Grand Army has been a mighty or ganization. In a few years it will be no more. Are its principles to perish and the great work of its members accom plished from 1861 to 1865 to be forgotten? Is Memorial day to be a thing of the past? To me it is a beautiful thought that no matter how long it may be. many years from now perhaps, my father’s grave will be visited at least once each year and upon that little mound of green will be placed that flag for which he sac rificed, suffered and fought and which he loved so well. We have a great work to do. Let us go at it with an unselfish purpose, without fault finding and com plaining, but with a noble purpose. 1 have only words of praise for my as sociates in office. If we have prospered, 1 give the credit to the fact that 1 have had the co-operation not only of the offi cers, but every member of the Maine division. On taking office 1 felt that if we were to succeed this year, I must get in touch and sympathy with as many members as possible, and I began a system of cor respondence with every camp. 1 have written five letters to every camp besides the special correspondence. The replies to my first letter were far from encour aging, but later, the results were splen did. "Alter I learned the condition of our Division 1 decided 1 must meet as many brothers as possible face to face, so gave out in general orders that 1 would visit any camp that would give me an invitation. I have visited a great many camps in the State since then. "From reports received, 1 believe our installation work was carried cn better this year than for some time. I believe that anyone who is asked to install the officers of any camp should be expected to do it without a ritual. And tiie work should be interspersed with a musical and literary entertainment. i "Brothers, let us extend greetings to the Sparysh War Veterans. We honor them—they fought for our country and fought well. I have the greatest respect for the Women's Relief Corps. They have done and are doing a great work and have been a help to the Grand Army. But every Sons of Veterans camp needs an auxiliary. There should be a closer relationship between the Sons of Veterans and Auxiliary. "The Ladies’ Auxiliary should be con gratulated in having such an efficient person as their president this year. (The president of the Ladies' Auxiliary is Mrs. Cobb, wife of the division com mander.) “The division should and must have 300 members in 1916 and 5000 in five years."

FOR WEAK, SOUR, GASSY STOMACHS It's torture to sit down to a well filled dinner table and know that to eat what you want means misery afterwards. Eat ever so little of the forbidden foods and you have to take so da mints, pepsin pills or other artificial digestants to stop the bloating, heartburn, sourness, gas and stomach lump that al ways follows. But tha more of them you take the more you must and soon the pills become a part of your regular diet. You think you cun not eat without them, but you can. There is an old time stomach prescription called Mi-o-na Stomach tablets that acts di rectly on the stomach itself and not on the food.

BRYAN COMMENT (Continued from Pa ire Six) the act ot such a high official tends tic give a gravity to the American-Ger man issue that constitutes it a domes tic if not an international crisis. It is indeed fortunate that Mr. Bryan has not been taken more seriously as Sec retary of State. Editorial Comment Playtime Is Over. (Bangor Commercial.) We note that a correspondent at the front lh Flanders says that a great change has come over the British Tom mies and that the Joking and Jollity, the carerree fun of the earlier days at the rront has passed; that the soldiers now realise how serious the conflict is and how large the chance that they will not return. "Onward, Christian Soldier,” has taken the place of “Tipperary,” writes this correspondent as giving evi dence of the mental change. Another change noted is the steadily increasing number of gray-haired oincers who seem everywhere to be replacing the younger officers whose Inexperience is said to have been Very expensive to the British troops in France. It is very probable that many retire! officers afe being called to the colors. or are being accepted as volunteers in spite or the fact that they nave passed the age limit. Experienced officers are Vi taliy needed in England’s great voluntee army. And That’s Onee Too Many. (Portland Express.) "You will notice that whenever the United States forgets its ardor for mankind, a Democrat is elected Pres ident,” said President Wilson, in his Indianapolis speech. He might also have mentioned several other things the people forget when they elect a Democrat to the Presidency. But they don’t forget oftener than once in 20 years. Congratulations for Everybody. (Buffalo Express.) The Wilson Administration is to be congratulated. The people of the United States are to be congratulated. Perhaps it may be justly added that Mr. Bryan himself is to be congratu lated. The Nation with Wilson. (Richmond Times Despatch.) It is Wilson, not Bryan, who strikes the note today to which the hearts of the American people respond and with which they beat in general sympathy. The nation is with him. If here and there are dissenting voices, they are drowned in the great surging chorus of national approval. In the support that has been tendered the President there Is neither party nor section, class nor creed. East and West, North and South. It is universal and all embrac I ing. Best Thing He Has Done. (Worcester Telegram.) L’ncle sam gracefully accepts con gratulations. Colonel Bryan bas re signed from the cabinet. The Demo cratic fog about Washington la a little thinner with the Nebraskan Coloiiel eliminated. The act of resigning was one of the best. The movies have not caught anything so good for a long time. Mexico will applaud before long and that will make it unanimous. No Time for Dreams. (Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.) The retirement of William Jennings Bryan from the State Department re moves at a peculiarly critical time a serious menace to the good name and the welfare of the nation. The time may come when the utilitarian diplo macy of today will give way to the al truistic ideals set forth with silver tongued eloquence by the Nebraskan, but the events of the past ten months startlingly demonstrate that no such utopian dream is possible in this gen eration. The seriousness of the situ ation is all that prevents Mr. Bryan's foreign policy from being laughable. People with Bryan for Pirat Time. (The Chicago Herald.) Trobably for the first time In his public career, William Jennings Bryan will find the people of America prac tically unanimous in favor of some i thing he has put forward—his resigna tion from the Cabinet. No one ques tions Mr. Bryan’s right to abandon the portfolio of the State Department if he disagrees with the foreign policy of the Government. Mr. Bryan would have been a better soldier if he had mobilized himself the moment his principles were assaulted, raised the standard of revolt then and there. Nor will the country forgive him the In sinuation in his letter of farewell to the President that if war comes he. Woodrow Wilson, will be responsible for it because he Is pursuing a policy ‘‘differing irreconcilably” from Mr. Bryan’F. The responsibility will be elsewhere and very largely on the heads of those who by their actions ana words lead Germany to entertain i the hope that this country will not stand officially and privately shoulder to shoulder with the President in ex acting “a strict accountability”* for of fenses against our people and human ity. Mr. Bryan as a private citisen will be less a menace to the peace of the nation than he has been as Secre tary of State. Therein the country and President Wilson are to be con gratulated. Bryan Did Himself Proud (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Nothing In Mr. Bryan’s tenure of the office of Secretary of State becomes him like the leering it Hla letter to the President offering his resignation is an honest and manly statement of the rea sons for his action. Ho can no longer support a policy contrary to hla convic tions. The sincerity of the President's regret need not be questioned. He probably llhes Mr. Bryan personally, and he real ises the political consequences that the resignation may involve, but he is too shrewd an obaervar of avents not to know that Mr. Bryan's conduct of the State Department has seriously lessened its prestige. Even those who like hire least did not anticipate that he would fall so far below measuring up t» Its op portantttM. Ho has revealed neither tne industry nor the capacity that the posi tion 0—lands. And in a crisis like this too' iaaUU<PMMlr only It has been an open secret that the President had taken all the Important Ready! To make a “batch** of old-fashioned, whole some, home-made bread, a alee light cake and perhaps a pte or two—the kind of good liv ing that makes the family 'anile. All from WBhaTeB and all always good—because tills Is the all ’round flour that keeps the cook in a good hnmor. Extra nutritious and goes farther—a secret of Ohio Red Winter Wheat and the special process of milling vours only in (29) William Tell Flour xvork out of his hands, and so long as Mr. Bryan was content to have It so he could remain at his post with no loss of self respect though with some loss of dignity. Now that the policy of the administration has taken a course di rectly at variance with the principles as an advocate of peace at any price it would have stultified him in the eyes of the whole country had he stayed. Peace and Prohibition Candidate. (Hartford Courant) It is a safe guess that we are going to have Mr. Bryan again as a presi dential candidate. His platform will be I’eace and Prohibition. It will be i split the Democratic party all apart, for the South is strong for prohibition, and Bryan himself, as himself, is strong with the Democratic party I through the wide "West. He is likely,] i too, to draw from the republicans on I the same issue that will strengthen him at the South. The news of his re tirement and of a practical break with Wilson will, on the other hand, prove highly gratifying to old-fashioned Dem ocrats, especially through the East. It makes at least a three-cornered fight for 1916. People Will Support Wilson. (Washington Post.) Mr. Bryan’s resignation as Secre tary of State is not a surprise. The j place has not been congenial to him, i and he has been more and more in- dined to turn from politics to the field of religion and temperance. The Impression conveyed by the correspondence between the President and 'Mr. Bryan is thkt the note to Germany will be strong and uncom promising. That is what the country expects. The people will support the 1 President as against Mr. Bryan or any other man who proposes an ineffectual method of enforcing American rights. It is to the President’s credit that he stood firm against what must have been insistent pressure from Mr. Bryan for the enfeebling of the Ameri can policy. Contributory Negligence (Lewiston Sun) Mr. Bryan's use of the legal term I “contributory negligence” is not apt. j The plea of contributory negligence may be offered when you are suing j for damages due to negligence. When I you sue for damages for negligence. I as when you get your teams into a mixup in the street, the defendant has j the right to use the street. His right is equal to yours. He was negligent in the exercise of his right; then if you show that you were exercising due care, you are entitled to recover. If you were guilty of contributory neg ligence, you cannot get damages. In the present case, the submarine is less like another team than like a gunman. Or, more mildly, it is not negligence, but assault that the German submar ine is guilty of. Sympathy la With President (Portland Argus) With few exceptions Indeed the opinion expressed upon Bryan's res ignation are heartily in sympathy with the President, while not a few are condemnatory of -the taking of such a grave step at a critical moment. Whatever the outcome of the incident with Germany may be. President Wil son will find himself sustained in a whole-hearted, patriotic way by his fellow countrymen. WALDO LIBERTY WEST—Mrs. Bert E.

Tel. 2M-W. junelUttt* FACTS ABOUT PART NERS MUST BE RE CORDED AFTER JULY 3 Full Publicity Regarding Part nerships Is Demanded by the Provisions of Law Passed by 77th Legislature In acordance with the provisions of a law which was passed by the 77th Legis lature publicity of partnerships will be come a reality in Augusta as well as in the rest of the State of Maine after July 3 of the current year. This law provides that when two or more persons associate themselves in partnership for the con duct of any mercantile business they must file with the city clerk a certificate giving all the facts in regard to the mat ter. After the certificates are received the facts are to be recorded in a book kept for the purpose. In the past, especially in cases at law, there has been a good deal of diffi culty in locating some of the partners in a business. This new statute, if it is lived up to, will obviate that. There will be no possibility of dodging the facts and if a partnership fails to record the items required by law, then a big pen alty Is provided. The law as it was passed and approved beads as follows: Section L Whenever two or more per sons become associated as partners or otherwise for the purpose of engaging in any mercantile enterprise, they shall, before commencing business, deposit lr. the office of the clerk of the city or town in which the same is to be carried on, a certificate signed and sworn to by them, setting forth their names and places of residence, the nature of the business in which they intend to engage, and giving the name under which they are to tran sact business. And all persons so asso ciated and engaged in business as afore said at the time when u.,s act takes ef fect shall, within thirty days thereafter, deposit in the office of the clerk of the city or town where such business is be ing carried on a certificate signed and sworn to by them setting out the facts before mentioned. Whenever any mem ber of such partnership or association withdraws therefrom, he may certify under oath to the fact of such with drawal which certificate shall be deposit ed in the clerk's office where the part nership certificate is recorded; and he shall conclusively be presumed to be a member of the firm or association to the time of his depositing such certificate. Section 2. Whenever any person in tends to engage in such business as sole proprietor thereof, and to adopt any business name, style or designation other than his own name exclusively, he shall, before commencing business, deposit in the office of the clerk of the city or town in which such business is to be carried on, a certificate signed and sworn to by him setting forth his name and place of residence; the name, style or designation under which the business is to be con ducted, and stating that he is the sole proprietor. And every person who may be such sole proprietor at the time this act takes effect. shall, j within thirty days thereafter, de- posit in the office of the clerk of the city or town where such business is be ing carried on, a certificate signed and sworn to by him, setting out the facts before mentioned. Section 3. The clerks of the several cities and towns shall record, in suitable books, kept exclusively for the purpose, ttie certificates deposited under the pro vicions of this act, and such books shall be kept open to public Inspection. The clerk shall be entitled to a fee of twenty five cents for recording each of such cer tificates. Section 4. Any person failing to de- posit seasonably the certificate required by this act, shall be punished by a fine of five dollars for each day he is in de fault. Section 5. No person signing and mak ing oath to any certificate deposited as provided by this act shall be permitted, in any judicial proceeding, to contradict i the statements contained in such certi 1 fic-ate. Whoever swears or afhrms to any such certificate which is not true in fact shall be deemed guilty of perjury.— i (Approved April 1, 1915.)

Nason, occurred in this city, Wednesday even- j ing June 9. Edwin Francis Nason was the son of Joseph and Mary Welch Nason, and was born in Hallowell, Maine, October 23d, ISM. From his earliest youth his life was marked by strict integrity, I high sense of honor, and unusual intel- j lectual attainments. At the age of 14. he entered the Nichol's Eatin school,! at Lewiston, Maine, and graduated with high honors, from Bates College, in 1872. During the six following years he was instructor in Latin and Mathe matics in the Lyndon Literary Insti tute. at Lyndon, Vermont, where by his superior scholarship and enthusias tic and conscientious devotion to his work, he made an enviable reputation as a teacher, and exerted a strong and ennobling iniinenee over a large circle of student friends. He subsequently removed to Boston where he was en gaged in editorial and literary work. In 1885, he came to reside in Augusta, ■where hb continued his literary pur suits. His editorial reviews and crit ical essays are notable for their excel lence of style and exact scholarship.* His poems are characterized by a fine spirituality, deep poetic insight, and faultless expression. He retained his love of books and his intellectual grasp and appreciation of the best in litera ture until the close of his life. He bore his last years of illness with un failing Christian fortitude; and his death marks the passing of a noble, heroic soul into the haven of eternal rest. The funeral services will take place at the Green street Methodist church, on Saturday afternoon at three o’clock.

STATE HOUSE The Public Utilities Commission Gives Important Decision in One Case ani Engineers’ Agreement in Another —New Order to Ex press Companies A CRACK GUN COMPANY Bangor Organization to Be Fav orite— New Physical Manual for National Guard Issued and Will Be in Use at the Officers School This Month The Kennebec Farm and City Tele phone Co. filed its petition asking per mission to Issue bonds of the aggregate par value of $&O>0, bearing interest at 6 per cent, and the Public Utilities Commission on April 8, held a hearing I on the petition, and after taking cer tain evidence adjourned for the fur ther examination of Ita books and rec ords which was made April 21, 1915. Under date of June 10 the commission rendew its decision on the petition. It appears in the text of the decision that the corporation made its issue of bonds amounting to $5000, Jan. 1, 1909; of this amount $4200 eras actually sold, $1000 of which has been redeemed. The balance, $3200, is still outstanding, $2200 being over due. The proposed issue is to be devoted, $2200 to the redemption of the overdue bonds, $1000 reserved to pay the bonds, due Jan. 1, 191$, ahd $1800 for the payment of floating in debtedness and to provide for exten sions. The corporation has 179 stockholding subscribers, 57 non-stockholding, and eight pay stations. Its net annual ser vice charge or rental for stockholders is $8: for non-stockholders from $12 to $20, according to the number on the j line. The stockholders furnish their own inside equipment. Officers Should Assess Under the provisions of the by-laws it was the duty of the officers to as sess, and of the stockholders to pay, annually, enough to retire the matur ing bonds. This would have taken care of the $2200 now overdue. Under the laws of the State the stockholders are liable to the creditors of the cor poration for the fuli payment of their stock, to the amount of the indebted ness. This would amount to $1930. i Neither of these amounts is sufficient j to meet the deficit shown by the peti tioner's corrected statement. It is claimed that the $219.75 expended for purposes other than maintenance should be credited to assessments on I stock not fully paid for. but this ap pears rather to have come chiefly from regular service charges from nil sources and a comparison of these charges would not indicate that the stockholding subscribers are paying more than their proportion. It is also suggested thqt the sched ule of assets does not include anything for organizing expense, franchises, in terest on capital invested, and such other items as might be charged to capital. This appears to be true. There is no evidence to show the amount of these items, nor, on the other hand, what amount should be deducted for depreciation. The Rate* Charged It wems that had the stockbr.liling subscribers paid for the service fit the same rates chanted other subscribers i less a fair rental for the equipment fuf nished by them (the petitioner claims i a value jf only $10 each for its own rented telephones), they would have ready have paid in excess of their (present rates the amount they now owe on their stock and enough to pro vide a fair annual return on their money invested. On the whole, we feel that in view of the express provisions of the by-laws the stockholders should discharge their legal obligations before the corporation is authorized to en cumber its property with further mortgages, especially in view of the fact that instead of an equity to se cure such obligations it now has a deficit of approximately 30 per cent, of its entire liabilities including stock outstanding. It should also re-adjust its rentals so that there may be no dis crimination between stockholding sub scribers and non-stockholders. This it must do at once in order to comply with the Public Utilities Act. Should Raise Funds It Is therefore recommended that the corporation seek to collect on or be fore Sept. 1. 1915, the further sum of $10 per share on Its outstanding capi tal stock, or in lieu thereof assess ments sufficient to provide for the pay ment of its overdue bonds, as it may elect: and report to the commission within 10 days after said date. To which time this case will be held for final disposition. Blddeford Pool Doeision In the matter of the complaint of John F. Goldthwaite et als. vs. New England Telephone St Telegraph Co., alleging in substance that there was discrimination against the residents of Biddeford Pool in that they were com pelled to pay a toll charge of 10 cents for each call outside the community known as Biddeford Pool, the Public Utilities Comraiasion will Issue no or der at the present time since the pe titioners and the telephone company have apparently reached an agreement. In accord with the spirit of the agreement or understanding at which the parties to the hearing agreed, the Commission recommends that the tel ephone company discontinue Its prac tice of regarding Biddeford Pool as a potential exchange—so called—and dis continue the rates, regulations and charges heretofore existing in the lo cality, and, instead of Its previous practice in regard to subscriber* at Biddeford Pool, place all the subscrib ers within the limits of the city of Biddeford in the Biddeford exchange and furnish them service in accord ance with the regularly filed rates. The new arrangement would result in a higher subscriber’s rate but would eliminate the toll charge on all calls within the limits of the Biddeford ex change. A report is to be returned to the Commission within 30 days and IT eon R0DER1QUE SEARCH AND SEIZURE CASE IS DISMISSED BY COURT Man Charged with Violation of Law Napoleon Roderique, Not Charles as Named in War rant—Is Discharged But Re Arrested on Another Charge Just because there was an error of one word In the warrant used in the Roderique search and seizure case which was to have been heard Thurs day morning before the municipal court, the case was dismissed and the respon dent was released. Rodrique, at whose house on Morton place Deputy Sher iffs Nash, Pomerleau and Rice had seized some liquor, appeared before the court Thursday morning to answer to a charge of search and seizure and was represented by Burleigh Martin, who asked that the case be dismissed, claiming that the respondent’s name was Napoleon Roderique, and not Charles Roderique as had been entered in the warrant, and this being found to be the case Mr. Martin's request was granted and Roderique was releas ed. His troubles were not a thing of the past, however, for he was shortly aft er arrested on a warrant charging him with illegal possession ft intoxicating liquors. He was ordered to appear be fore the court at 10 o’clock this morn ing and at the request of his counsel was allowed to go upon his own recog nizance. Other matters before the court con sisted of three cases the charga in each of which was intoxication and In, two of Which the respondents were found guilty, one being given a sent ence of $5.62 or 30 days in Jail, ard the dther a sentence of $4.62 or 30 days. In the latter case sentence was sus pended. The third case was nol pressed as the complainant did not appear. Dr. B. Lake Noyes of Stonington was in the city Thursday on matters of business. A number of Augusta people went to Winthrop Thursday evening by auto mobile to attend the presentation of the rural play, ”W'illowdale’’ in the Winthrop Town hail by the Universal ist Dramatic Club of this city. ditions are satisfactory the petition will be dismissed without prejudice. _ Express Company Collections In the matter of the establishment of collection and delivery service by express companies on less than statu tory notice the Public Utilities Com mission issued an order under date of June S, which is just being issued. The order reads as follows: The attention of the Commission has been called to the fact that intrastate and interstate shipments may be re ceived at the office of an express com pany on the same date, and each ad dressed to the same party. It also ap pears that the collection and delivery limits of various express companies, as filed in their schedules of rates, j toils, charges and practices, cannot be changed, except by making a supple mental filing enlarging such limits and giving ten days’ notice to the pub lic and to this Commission, which is required by the Statute. Oftentimes it is found necessary for an express i company to extend such collection and delivery limit to meet a particular and important exigency, and it would be a hardship to the public to be obliged to wait the necessary ten days. I The Interstate Commerce Commls sion has granted permission to all ex press companies filing schedules of rates with such Commission to extend their collection and delivery service at stations which have heretofore not had such service, or to extend the present delivery limits at places which have heretofore had such service to a lim ited extent, and. in granting such per mission. has allowed such extension to be made upon one day’s notice to the public and to the Commission. Various express companies under the jurisdiction of this Commission have requested us to grant to them and the public a similar privilege, and it is, therefore. Ordered: That each express com pany. as defined in Chapter 129 of the Public Laws of the State of Maine for the year 3 913. from and after this date is granted permission to establish, on one day’s notice to the public and to this Commission, collection and deliv ery service at stations which have heretofore not had such service, and to extend the present delivery limits at Places which have heretofore had such service to a limited extent. Machine Gun Co. The new machine gun company of the Second Maine Infantry located in Bangor is not unlikely to become one of the favorite military organizations of the State. It appeared for the first time this week under the command of Captain Arthur Ashworth, who was at one time enlisted in the regular ser vice. Four machine guns are on the way to Bangor and they will be the first used by an organization of the Second Regiment. A complete equip ment has been promised and over 20, 000 rounds of ammunition for practice will be provided through Adjutant General Presson. Every member of the company—there are 50 at present —will be provided with a Colt auto matic pistol and 10,000 rounds of am munition for practice with this arm will be at hand. Physical Manual for Guard The National Guard has been Issued a new manual of physical training; written by Capt. Herman J. Koehler, U. S. A., physical instructor at West Point. The manual will be taken up at the officers’ school this month. Its general object is to produce general health and bodily vigor, muscular strength and endurance, self-reliance, smartness, activity and precision; its proper use makes for the maintenance of robust health and the development of organic vigor. Exercises which will correct stooping and rounding should ers are laid out and also exercises for correating other faults «nri«ting commonly amongst those who are thought to be in perfect physical con dition. At least all these things are claimed for the manual by its sponsors.
