AUGUSTA, MAINE, THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 17, 1915. PRICE TWO CENTS. Republican Leaders Meet in Second District to Lay the Foundations for Campaign Large and Enthusiastic Gathering at Auburn on Wednesday Dis cusses Opportunities for Victory in Coming Election STATEMENT MADE BY CHAIRMAN HAM Speeches by the Hon. Bert M. Fernald, Col. Frederick Hale, Hon. T. F. Callahan, Hon. Cyrus N. Blanchard, Hon. E. C. Plummer, Hon. John P. Swasey, Hon. Wallace White, Jr., and Hon. Harry B. Austin Auburn, Maine, June 16.— (Special).—The Republican ba rometer which hung in Auburn hall today forecasts fair weath er for the Grand Old PaKy. To be sure, clouds were sighted from the lookout, but the Re publican statesmen in charge of j the party’s weather bureau as sured the 150 loyal Republicans prel^it that they were war clouds screening the advance of a mighty Republican hosts quite discontent with Democratic policies. Laying Foundations The meeting was called to order by E. M. Briggs of Lewiston, member of the Second District Committee, at i 11 o'clock. Mr. Briggs explained that the meeting was called not for the purpose of promoting candidacies. 1 projecting a campaign, nor for any single purpose, but to obtain from ac tive Republicans from various sec tions of the Second District and the State at large authoritative informa tion in regard to the temper of the voters, their views of the present State and national administrations, and their expectations of future po litical developments. It was thought that after such an early beginning as a foundation, it w'ould be easy to lay the actual foundations of the next platform and the next campaign. The call for the meeting was issued by the Second District committee to all town, county, and State committee men in the district. Attitude of Business There were several significant reve lations; it was demonstrated that, though there is not at present any vig orous attack being made upon the national administration, there is nev ertheless a strong undercurrent of discontent and bitterness running through every business. Industry and vocation with the possible exception of those industries which are saved from disaster for the time being through foreign war contracts; the voters of Maine in great majority em bracing many Democrats and practi cally all Progressives, sincerely regret the election of the Democratic admin istration now in office in Maine and would, if given opportunity to vote no^C^^agerly reverse the decision of SeP-i^mber, 1914; the Progressives in Maine are now nearly all allied with the Republican forces. Progressives’ Stand Prominent in the meeting were sev eral erstwhile Progressives, who un til recently have been the towers of strength in the Progressive organiza tion. These men declared that they were not ashamed of the fact that they had been Progressives, but rath er were glad of the stand they had taken. Each one stated, however, that he believed the Progressive party as such had accomplished all that it was possible for it to accomplish and Pro gressives could now best attain their ends by allying themselves with the Republican party, which, as Mr. Fish er of Lewiston, until recently a local Progressive leader, declared, is now standing for the Progressive policies urged by the Progressive party. In short, the report of the Progressives .(Continued on Pago 12—Column 2) j TWO REPUBLICAN Senatorial Candidates for Primary Nomination, Hon. Bert M. Fernald (at Right) and Col. Frederick Hale (Below) Statement by Chairman tfam of State Committee Declaring that the committee “has no candidates” and forecasting the most progressive and popular platform ever drafted in Maine, Chairman Frank J. Ham of the Republi can State committee delivered the following statement Wed nesday at Auburn: “In 1912, at trie Republican State Convention, held at Bangor, the Republicans of Maine adopted a platform, written by the Hon. Her bert M. Heath, of Augusta, which was one of the most progressive platforms that was ever adopted by any party in the history of the State. “In 1914, at the Republican State Convention, held in Augusta, the Republicans of Maine adopted an other platform, which was even more progressive than the one of 1912. “In 1916, the Republicans of Maine must take no step back ward. The Republican State com mittee will hold a meeting the night before the Convention and the Republicans of Maine will be invited to m3ke suggestions as to what shall go into the platform. These suggestions will be submit ted to the committee on resolu tions, which committee will write the platform and submit it to the Convention for its consideration. “As Chairman cf the State com mittee, I shall insist that the plat form be taken up plank by plank, by the Convention, either to accept or rejebt. Whatever platform is adopted by the 1916 Republican State Convention, within two or three days afterwards every Re publican in Maine wili be familiar with it. “I am going -ter say, and say it advisedly, that no Republican in the State of Mpine shpllld accept the nomination fbr any office, un less he cen ^qgpcciertioiljly stand on that^ijetfol^i, fqr tlje time has gone by when any party can write a platfdrm today and repudiate it torn throw. "At the present time, we have seven candidates for Governor, three candidates for United States Senator and possibly two or three candidates for Congress in this second district: each and every one of them good men; the best type of American citizenship in this State. Each and every one of them would make an ideal can didate and an ideal Governor, Sen ator or Congressman, but, unfor tunately for them, only one of them can be nominated at the pri maries. They are all Republicans now and will be Republicans after the primaries. “The time has gone by when one Hon. Frank J. Ham man or set of men, can select your candidates for any office, two to four years in advance, for, un der our primary law, the voters of this State have a right to go to the polls and select their own candidates. This year, of all years, the voters of Maine have an op portunity to take charge of the political affairs in this State. The voters of this State have a respon sibility and a duty that they owe the State to go to the polls and vote for one of these candidates, and, as Chairman of the Republi can State committee, I am going to urge upon every Republican voter in the State that he vote in the primary. “The Republican State commit tee has no candidates for any of these offices. They are the serv ants of the Republican party of Maine, and, after the primaries, with the co-operation of every vot er in Maine, who does not believe in the policies of the Democratic party, we pledge you our word that we will leave no stone unturned or nothing undone, to elect your can didates, whom you select in the primaries, and we will elect them by 15,000 Republican majority/' Leo ffl. Frank’s Fate Now In Hands of Gov. Slaton Atlanta, Ga„ June 16.—Leo M. Frank's final appeal for the commu tation of his death sentence to life imprisonment was completed today and his fate placed In the hands of Gov. Slaton, who took the petition un der advisement, with the announce ment that he would make his decision as early as possible. It is not ex pected before Friday or Saturday at the earliest. Next Tuesday, June 22, fa the data set for Frank’s execution for the mur der of Mary Phagan. The conclusion of the proceedings today before Gov. Slaton exhausted the last resource which Frank may employ to escape the gallows. “Take the name of Leo Frank out of this case,” declared William How ard, “forget all that has passed in the last two years, give me a public mind that is a clean slate and put this case in any county In Georgia, and I will acquit

Real Wonder-Worker For Wrinkled Faces Those who have tried all sorts of so called “wrinkle-removers” in a vain ef fort to lose those unwelcome traces of age, illness or worry, can scarcely find words to express their delight with the wonderful saxolite formula, once they have given it a trial. The success of this method is due not alone to its marvel ous effectiveness—upon the deepest lines s- and crowsfeet, as well as upon the very fine ones—but also to its surprisingly quick action and its entire harmlessness. Its simplicity and Its inexpensiveness are other commendable features, for one needs only dissolve an ounce of pow dered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel, and bathe the* face in this solution. At once a remarkable transformation is be held. It is not only the effect on wrinkles and creases that is so noticeable, but facial contour is remarkably improved and the face looks much younger. One should be sure to ask the druggist for the powdered saxolite. The lotion being so refreshing, is particularly grateful to tired faces these warm, depressing days.

As we gather together on this sacred spot, And our voices in triumph are raised, We greet this day joyfully, happy and gay, And give to old Kent's Hill our praise; We have loved thee so long, we will love thee for aye, No matter what fortunes may come: We shall never forget the fair school or this day As long as the sands of life run. As the vistas of fortune gleam silver and gold. And we see visions painted in rose, 'Tis with deepest regrets and a longing untold That we realize our school days must otbse; But we leave the fair school with our hearts full of love. With devotion we reverently thrill. And our prayers all ascend to the great God above For the welfare of dear old Kent's Hill. -SMITH DUXXACK.

M.—The following official statement was issued last night at the war of fice: “Fighting continues in the Shavli district without substantially modify ing the situation. “During Monday night the enemy de livered a futile attack in the direction of Nyszynico and Bakh, as well as sev eral isolated attacks in the district north of Przasnysz, all of which we successfully repulsed. German Advance “In Galicia the Germans made good their losses by bringing up fresh troops not before seen on this front, and they resumed the offensive in the Jaroslau district on the right bank of the San, supported by a strong artil- 1 lery fire. After three days of hard fighting we yielded some ground to the enemy on the right banks of the Lubasowka and the Wysznia, a tribu tary of the San.

Here we made 1200 prisoners, including: 29 officers, and captured seven machine guns. The same day the Germans attacked in the sector south of the bridgehead of Ji datcheff, taking the village of Ro gouhzno. At dawn of the day follow ing we delivered a counter-attack and recaptured the villages of Rogouhzno and Journavkoff. We secured also a gun with its equipment and several artillerymen. In this engagement the Germans hoisted a white flag and treacherously opened fire. Consequent ly, they all were bayonetted by our soldiers.

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS Do you find your breath bad in the morning, a bad taste in the mouth, a coaled tongue, a mean feeling in the head? Constipation, which these symptoms denote, is dangerous because it means that poisonous materials which should have been expeli'--* from the body are being retained. It is a condition which, if not corrected, becomes chronic. The remedy is to stimulate the liver by the use of Pinklets the gentle lax ative pills that do not gripe or purge but simply assist nature. Taken reg ularly for a time, they really do cor rect constipation. Write the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for a free sample or get a full-sized, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets from your own druggist.— Adv. S. OF V. DENOUNCE UNPATRIOTIC TALK OF THE REV. C. R. JOY Portland, Me., June 16.—Shepley Camp, sons of Veterans, Tuesday evening, adopted resolutions protest ing against the position taken by Rev. C. R. Joy, pastor of the First Parish Unitarian church, in a speech Monday evening before the Portland Lodge of Elks, in which he insisted on peace at any cost, even the dismemberment of the country, and said that he would rather see the flag of Germany or Japan float over the Capitol at Wash ington than to have the country en gage in war and that he hoped In the event of a declaration of war by Germany to see the United States of fer no resistance. Shepley Camp denounces his words as unwarranted by existing conditions, as unpatriotic and as destructive of law and order. The camp added that the usefulness of Mr. Joy as a leader in this community must be regarded as greatly lessened, and suggested that the First Parish Church give his utterances immediate attention.

HALL Gardiner, Me., June 16.—(Special).— The mid-summer meeting of the Phil anthropic Union was held Tuesday aft ernoon at G. A. R. hall, in spite of the inclement weather the meeting was largely attended and showed that although Gardiner is small in size she is “big inside,” as far as philanthropic work is concerned. King’s Daughters, Hostesses The hostesses for the afternoon were the King’s Daughters of South Gardi ner and the Ladies’ Aid of the Ran dolph Methodist church, tea being served after the meeting. The Ran dolph ladies were: Mrs. F. N. Carle ton and Mrs. William Baker, assisted by Mrs. Dudley. Mrs. William Wins low, Mrs. Roland True, Mrs. Peaslee. Mrs. Goodwin and Miss Julia Flitner. For the King’s Daughters Mrs. A. B. Libby and Mrs. Daniel Longfellow poured, assisted by Mrs. Harry Law rence, Mrs. Spearing, Mrs. Edward Farrell and Mrs. Leverand. The dec orations of the Randolph ladies’ table was red peonies, while pretty pink flowers graced the table of the Kings Daughters. The Business Meeting Mrs. Laura E. Richards presided and beside her was seated Mrs. S. W. Cutts, an officer of the Union. After a few words, the president called for the reports. Miss Mitchell of Randolph gave a very concise report of the work and the different branches of the W. C. T. U., speaking briefly on each one and its meaning, the flower mission, press agent, alms house, railroad relief work, school savings banks, telling of the 42 different departments which the union can use as expediently as pos sible. A very interesting report of the work of the Current Events Club was given by Mrs. Maxcy for Mrs. Allen, the secretary. This society, while it is foremost and specially a literary club, has taken hold of anything that means for the betterment of the city, educa tional, civic and industrial. Little chil dren have been made happy at Christ mas by them. The manual training and the domestic science course in the public schools has been brought about by them, lectures of the most instruc tive kind have been given by them and we find them behind the move ments that mean for the best. The Rest Room was spoken for by Miss Barstow and this very helpful adjunct of the social side of Water street came in for many commenda tions and compliments. The matron. Mrs. Purnell, spoke briefly of the good it was doing and the number of peo ple who were daily benefited by this place of rest ar,d refreshment. Al ready 3000 visitors "have availed them selves of the comforts to be found there. As the fee is only 50 cents per year, it is earnestly asked that more members will be enrolled. District Nurse Ass'n Miss Rosalind Richards gave a pleasing account of the District Nurse Association of the affiliation with the Metropolitan Life Insurance whereby they assumed some of the expense of I their policy holders. Mrs. Charles Gray spoke at length on the Red Cross and the work which was being done by the Anti-Tuberculosis Association and heartily commended Gardiner on the generous response that the citizens and clubs had given the cause of the Red Cross. Work of Union The Daughters of the American Revo lution were not represented. The Good Comrades and the T. P. B. were invited to come into the Union as both are do ing the best kind of work in their re spective lines. The Gardiner Improve ment Society were unofficially represent ed and it was earnestly hoped by the Union that an effort would be made to secure new members for the society as the fee. which is only 25 cents, would mean so much more for a working cap- ital. Mrs. W. O. Cobb spoke for the Mothers’ Club, which comes so near to j the hearts of us all. An idea may be j had of the scope of their work by real- i izing that the bill for shoes alone which they have sent to little children last year was $54 while SSS.29 was spent for other necessities for the little ones, 8J families were visited at Christmas and the children made happy with clothes, toys, candy and things which under other circumstances would not have found their way into the little stockings. The Mothers’ Club was also most generously represented on the Christmas ship sent to Europe. Miss Alice Barstow spoke for the Humane Society and the good that society was doing in its quiet way, of the 50 pails distributed in the country that horses might have a drink of wa ter, of the 187 cases of cruelty to animals which Officer Blaisdell had visited and of the 142 horses which haa been humanely put out of the way. The Ladies’ Auxil iary to the Sons of Veterans gave a very fine report of their year’s doings by Mrs. Gilman, the secretary, and was one of the clearest accounts of any of the so cieties represented at yesterday’s meet- ing. This organization has 137 members enrolled and was given lto per cent, for efficiency at the division meeting held recently. Other Reports The 'Woman’s Auxiliary to the Board of Missions of the Episcopal church was reported by Mrs. A. T. Shumann. who told of the work being divided as the i seasons came, she spoke of the work. done for the Red Cross, the sewing done for the Belgians, clothing sent to the Bishop of Alaska and of an emergency chest of clothing which was kept for im mediate use. Also the constant work for the House of the Good Shepherd. The Altar Society of this denomination was not represented. The Highland avenue Methodist Church Ladies’ Aid gave a very interesting re port through Mrs. Elias Cowan and many helpful suggestions were gleaned from the church on the hill. One hundred and firty-five dollars was realized at their Christmas sale. The Missionary Society of the same ^turch reports a membership of 36 members and work done for the Negroes and the Alaskans. The Congregational church reported through Miss Marietta Parshley $430 earned during the year. Miss Parshley spoke of the newly formed Toung Peo ple’s League. The Daughters of St. Mar garet and the youngest society of the denomination. The Maids of the Holy Cross, who at their sale and supper held at the G. A. R. hall last Saturday netted a tidy sum of $47.82. Mrs. John Evans gave a good re port of the energies put forth by the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Universal ist church. She told of the $330 earned by the society at its various sales and sup pers druing the year. A Hospitality committee composed of Mrs. Lawton, Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Turner were recently appointed by the auxiliary. The work done for the Belgians, the Red Cross and the money donated to these two countries were touched on. The Ladies’ Aid of the First Bap tist have held 39 meetings with an average attendance of 12 members. They have had two cottage socials, suppers and much has been done in a social way for the general better ment of the society and a goodly sum of $30 still on hand. The Mission Cir cle of this same church have held in teresting meetings during the year and among the things done was the sending of a barrel of clothing to South Carolina. While the Free Baptist church was not officially reported Miss Addie Ber ry told of some of the things done for the church by the Ladies’ Aid which has a membership of 50. Miss Julia Flitner spoke for the La dies' Aid of the Randolph Methodist church they having raised $440 dur ing the year and had assisted in the repairs of the church and contributed towards the pastor's salary. The King's Daughters of South Gar diner have held 43 meetings and have done much to brighten the hours of the ‘'shut ins” with flowers and cheer of all kinds. They have also purchas ed a piano for the vestry. Mrs. Harriet Bowie said that the call for help from the Associated Char ities had been greater this year than ever before, more clothing had been given away, and a great quantity of wood and coaL Sixty-five dinners were given away at Thanksgiving. A very complete report was given by Mrs. Greenlaw for the Heath Re lief Corps, who have had a most suc cessful year. They have a membership of 180, they have co-operated with the Auxiliary and have done much for the children, the annual May party given by the Corps is a happy event for the younger element.

(San .Francisco Chronicle) One of our Eastern contemporaries finds that in a Japanese translation of Gospel hymn, “Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me,” the literal rendering runs "Very Old Rock, Split for My Benefit.” It is really appalling to contemplate the form In which some of the other hymns must appear before being sub jected to the process of translation into an ungracious language. It is easy to perceive that "Throw Out the Life line, Brother to Save,” must become "Lay Out Very Strong Cord Made of Hemp, the Honorable Other Son of Tour Venerated Parents to« Rescue,” and that “Hold the Fort” must become “Rush Forward Reserve Force to Re pulse Attack of Contemptible Enemy Upon Position Occupied by Our Brave Soldiers.” Other illustrations might be. supplied, but we desist. A GIFT HORSE THAT MADE GOOD (New York Telegram) Never look a gift horse In the mouth. That is au expression among horse man that was probably uttered In the primitive days of the horse, but it holds good to this day and ever will hold good. Many a horse has been given away or sold for the proverbial song which has proved a valuable asset to a stable. It is doubtful, however, if ever there was one which raced her self into prominence as did Elisabeth M„ a chestnut-coated youngster which practically did not have a home In her early days. Elisabeth M. was foaled In California on the farm of J. B. Haggin, and shipped here among others as a year ling to be sold. Whoever bought her discovered very early that she was af flicted with some disease or Internal trouble from which it was doubtful If she would recover. All the sclentlflo methods were applied, but the little runt of a Ally did not Improve, and soon she was discarded. She gave so little promise that in the winter of 1899 and 1990 Elizabeth M was on the discarded list. She was practically the Cinderella of the stable in which she belonged. She hardly had a friend. Many a horseman looked her over and shook his head when she was offered him to take away. Not worth feeding was the general conclusion. The eventful day came for her Initial start, and on June 16, 1900, she was asked to go five furlongs in a field of 18 horses. One or two of the wise fish, the dockers, had discovered she was entered, and while they did not know her name, they had her marked, and no sooner had she made her appear ance in the paddock than the news was quickly noised around that Eliz abeth M was the speedy filly Beckett had in his stable. From 5 to 1 in the betting sne was soon cut to "threes,” but the weight of money on the other horses drove her price up again until 4 to 1 could be obtained at post time. When the race was started Elizabeth could be seen scampering along behind such good horses as The Rhymer, Dub lin, Competitor and others which later proved good horses. At the bend in the track she was fifth, with Shaw hand riding her in his usual intelligent manner. Just as she was asked to make her run in the last quarter she made a sudden swerve to the outer rail and her backers sank in their shoes, for such action usually meant defeat. But not for Elizabeth M. Shaw straightened her up in a moment and soon she was picking up the leaders one after the other. Ozone Jag, Latest. (Philadelphia Ledger) An ozone jag! One of the newest things, I assure you, and right on the heels of the departing jag that came by way of a morning bracer or an evening cocktail. The ozone jag is meant to carry the air of a mountain top to your stuffy office or your still stuffier factory and workroom. Instead of having to sneak out when nobody is watching to get your accustomed eye-opener over the bar, this ozone stimulant is handed around gratis by the boss himself. Wherever introduced everybody, from the office boy and typewriter to the head of the establishment in dulges in this new air beverage, which is warranted to make the palest cheek, glow like a Gloucester fisherman's and create an appetite that will carry dis tress to the heart of the stoutest boarding house mistress. The ozone is turned loose where all may breathe it. “What is the actual effect I asked of a Philadelphia man ufacturer who has really witnessed the results of wholesale ozone jags. “Makes all hands work faster and yet grow fat," was the reply. The latter result will make it un popular in spots, but ought to encour age its sale to persons of the Connie Mack type. Factories in this town are really trying this plan to introduce more ozone by artificial means. Phy sicians tell me that even in large quan tities it will do no harm, but will make the blood tingle as if a mild alcohol stimulant had been administered. Bob Hive Homes. (Indianapolis News) A French genius has recently offered an idea which he is confident will be more effective against the enemy than bombs dropped by an aviator. ‘‘Instead of arming our aviators with bombs, which are seldom effective, we should do better with beehives," says this pa triot. “Let each aviator carry one or two hives and launch them on the foe below. At the rate of 30,000 bees to the hive, one may count that about 2,000 will be killed or stunned by the full; but the other 28,000 launched by a skil ful hand on the enemy will cover them in an instant with innumerable srtings and put every combatant out of the fight for several days. Then our men would have nothing to do but to end them or capture them.”. Commenting on this proposal, which evidently is made in all seriousness, a witty Frenchman says: "The inventor does not say what would happen if a mis directed hive should fall in a French trench. If the bees were loyal they would make the salute military and buzz the ‘Marseillaise.’ Land Fighting Not Clean. The American troops who occupied Vera Cruz last year were the second body of our soldiers to enter the city within a century. When it was besieged in the Mexican War, Capt. Robert E. Lee. afterward the commander in chief of the Confederate army, was ordered to throw up breastworks to defend a battery manned by the Jackies of man of-war. Lee put the tars into trenches and soon had the dirt fiying, but the sailors did not labor cheerfully. They resented having to shovel dirt, and their captain remonstrated openly with Lee. "My men.” he said, "do not want mud banks to hide behind: just let them get out and at the enemy.” But Lee would not listen, and the tara sweated away at the shoveling. Present ly the Mexicans opened fire at the very point thus protected, and the sailors were glad to seek the shelter of the despised dirt The ship's captain felt that he owend an apology and made a handsome one. Well. Captain Lee.” he stammered, I reckon you were right. I suppose the dirt did save some of my boys from be ing kiHed or wounded, but you know we sailors have no use for dirt banks on shipboard. All we want Is a clear deck and an open sea. The fact Is, captain, I don't like this land fighting, any way. It isn’t clean.”—The Youth’* Companion. The total strength of the British army in India exceeds 350,000 mas, and costs $85,000,(M0 annually.

This is an action of trover. The plain tiffs, farmers living in Winslow, bought two cows of the Silver brothers, dealers in cattle and beef. According to the statement of the plaintiffs, they bought the two cows, paid nothing down, but gave a bill of sale back on the cows bought and a horse they had, but later discovered that the bill of sale also in cluded two cows they had on the farm at the time of the purchase of the cows from the Silvers. They testified that they had the privilege of returning the cows if they did not suit them, and tak ing others in their place. The cows were brought back, but defendants re fused to take one of them back, as claimed by plaintiffs, and that cow was taken back to their home. No cow was taken in place of the one returned.

And endeavor “To be rather than to seem.” Though ws leave old Winslow high we can't forget her. Our happy school days we leave with regret. But the memories that we take will al ways cheer us. As we encounter work that must be met. We'll give the world the best that we have in us. And do our duty though It costs us dear. Ever upward we will strive with heart that’s cheerful, And through everything we'll keep our motto near. —Daniel Wing. Mrs. Edith Priest of Portland is a guest of friends in town.

AUGUSTA HALLOWELL GARDINER MANUFACTURE OF OPTICAL GLASS IN THE UNITED STATES The glass used in this country for the manufacture of lenses is practi cally all imported except in the case of some of the srrtaller and cheaper lenses. For several years past, the Bureau of Standards, of the Depart ment of Commerce, has been endeav oring to persuade the glass manufac turers of the United States to take up the manufacture of this material, but they have been unable to do so, part ly because of the limited quantity used as compared with other glass, but largely on account of the varying composition required and the difficulty of annealing the glass, as good optical glass must be entirely free from strain. With a view to working out some of the underlying problems sufficiently to enable manufacturers to start in this matter, the Bureau secured two years ago an expert interested in the composition and .testing of optical systems, and a little later secured another man skilled in the working of glass to the definite forms required by the theory. These steps were taken first, partly because it is ex ceedingly difficult to find men having these qualifications, but principally because as the work of experimental glass making progresses, the glass must be put in the form of lenses and prisms to test; in other words, the Bureau had to be in a position to ex amine the product as it was made ex perimentally. In July, 1914, a prac tical glass maker was added to the force of the Bureau. He is a college graduate of scientific training but skilled in the manipulations of furn aces, and is the sort of a man to make progress at the present stage of 111" worn. Small furnaces were built and melts of a few pounds of ordinary glass were made in order to become more familiar with the technical side. A larger furnace has just been complet ed which will handle melts of 25 to 50 pounds. The Bureau is now making simple glasses according to definite formulas, studying the methods of se curing it free from bubbles, and oth er practical points. This is to be fol lowed by an Investigation of the method of annealing. Several glass manufacturers have visited the Bureau already for sugges tions as to equipment for the manu facture of optical glass. Robinson Crusoe The island of Juan Fernandes, where Robinson Crusoe (Alexandei Selkirk) was “Monarch of all he sur veyed,” belongs to Chile, and was, perhaps, the last place in the world that one might think would furnish in its history an episode of the world’s war, the sinking of the German ship .Dresden by three English war vessel*. "Robinson Crusoe” is in Germany as much of a favorite book for boys to day as it ever was among English speaking peoples. Fifty years ago the island was colonized by Germans, and today the most conspicuous object of the island is a monument erected to Alexander Selkirk by these colonists. Daniel Defoe, who wrote this great boys’ book, was a Londoner, his hero was a Scots sailor and among his ar dent admirers before this world’s war came to pour bitterness and hatred over the earth were Teutons. FORCES ENGAGED IN PRESENT STRUGGLE (Philadelphia Ledger) Since the war began the figures in volved in the statements of men en gaged or lost have distanced the pur suit of the nimblest imagination. These figures and the colossal statistics of ordnance, ammunition and field equip ment exceed the capacity of the mind to grasp their significance, like meas urements of interstellar space. They make the numbers of men engaged in previous wars seem trivial. An English compilation of the Prus sian casualty list, whether correct or tmt, gives the total of killed, wounded and missing as 1,050,029. An estimate from Paris puts the number of Brit ish soldiers on foreign soil at 760,000. A cemetery near Warsaw is said to hold 100,000 men. These are some of the figures contained in one day’s dis patches, which include the statement that the English and French armies thus far have called for American and French automobile equipment valued at more than 130,000,000. To find anything like a parallel for the numbers engaged in this war one must go back to the ancient Persians. Xerxes may have led 2,000.000 men at once against Greece, and Darius may have had 750,000 or more to op pose the ruthless Alexander. Napoleon at Marengo had only 18, 000 men. He brought 400,000 over the border into Russia, of whom 20,000 sur vived the awful retreat. At Waterloo he had 48,950 infantry, 15,765 cavalHi i,232 artillery, in our own Revolution 309,,81 men by one estimate were gaged. In the Civil War there were about 2,000,000 warriors for the Union and 750,000 soldiers of the Confeder acy. At Gettysburg on the Union side there were 23,001 killed, wounded and missing, and on the Confederate side 16,971. These figures, chosen at random, clearly indicate the relative immensity -of the scale on which the present con flict is waged, and the formidable di mensions .of the task of the historian who must comprehend In his descrip tion not a definite successions of pitched battles, but the indeterminate opposition month after month of two intrenched alignments hundreds of miles in length involving hundreds of thousands and even mlllionsof^meUj

Jordan of South Portland was j elected president of the N. E. Field j Day Association of the Loyal Order j of Moose at the cont ention held in i City hall today. His only opponent j for the position was Percy S. Acker-! man, secretary of the association and dictator of Pine Cone Lodge of South j Portland. Dr. Jordan was vice pres- ident of the association and deputy! supreme dictator of the State of! Maine The vote was 83 for Dr. J _>r- j dan to 26 for Mr. Ackerman. The city of Newport. R. I., was se- leoted practically unanimously and with a groat demonstration for the annual convention of 1916. The nr.mes■ of Boston and of Manchester. X. H.,| were also presented, but were with drawn. There were 116 accredited delegates present and voting and a large jium ber of spectators, all Moose but not delegates. The convention was preceded by the taking of the convention picture on the steps of City hall. The delegates then proceeded to the auditorium where the meeting was opened by John J. McDonald, dictator of Dirigo Lodge of Portland, the hosts of the convention, who introduced Mayor William M. Ingraham. Mayor Ingra ham made an admirable address of welcome, which created such an im pression among the Moose that they decided subsequently not only to send him a communication of thanks but to have the address published in pamphlet form and distributed among the lodges of Xew England. In the absence of President Pike of Lawrence, Vice President Jordan pre sided at the meeting and accepted from the mayor the keys of the city in a brief speech in which he said it was only fitting that the Moose should give something in return. He presented to the mayor an application blank. The mayor then retired from the hall and the convention proceeded to its business. As a committee on cre dentials Vice President Jordan ap pointed Messrs. Burns of Bellows Falls. VL, Bryce of Newport, R. I., Goodwin of Berlin, X. H., Herbert of, Boston and Conlin of Lawrence, Mass.

M.—An elaborate system of entrenchments has been prepared by the Austrians along the Isonzo river, according to an official statement signed by General Cadorna, issued at the war office tonight. At some points there are several lines of trenches, some of which are built of masonry or concrete. Those trenches are guarded by many mines and bat teries. The communication which declares repeated Austrian attacks in Carnia were repulsed was as follows: “On the Tyrol-Trentino-Cadore front we gradually are occupying dominating points. Except for distant artillery fire and new but unsuccessful attacks on June 13 against the sum mit of Veilone. in the upper valley of the Piave (Camic Alps) our adver sary has not shown in this region any particular sign of activity. “More intense attacks have been made repeatedly by the enemy in Car nia either near defiles of Valsesis, which still is strongly held by us, or especially against the rear line of Mont Avostanic, to the defile of Monte Croce. Here on the morning of June 14, the enemy made a vigorous attack predeced by an intense artillery fire which began in the night and became very violent at daybreak. The enemy was repulsed and pursued at the point of the bayonet. “Long distance artillery actions oc-s^J ctirred also in the zone of Monte Xe-_ j ro. on the Seleme-Mazli Croat and on''-rr the Kozliak. Elaborate Defenses “Along the Isonzo, on the line fron£ Podgora to Montforton and to the in ter-section of the Monfalcone canals reconnaissances showed the precise«■/>■ quality of the defensive works prep-e pared by the enemy on the Isonzo_ front. They include entrenchments, sometimes in several lines and often-"' in masonry or concrete reinforced by metallic sheeting, protected by a net work of mines or batteries often'.., placed below the earth. V* “A very active night surveillance is" exercised by the enemy, aided byi searchlights and rockets, with tele graphic and telephonic communication, -o “An examination of some of our wounded shows that the enemy are using explosive projectiles. An in-'*"’ spcction of the remnants of projectiles' -r where there has been fighting also""" shows that the enemy has been em-_ ploying devices explicitly condemned' by international law. “Heavy rains yesterday afternoon and last night, have disturbed living conditions in our camps, but have* tempered the heat of the last few days The health of our troops con-'*« tinues excellent and their spirits al-eo* ways are high.” THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE BY NAT! ACADEMY OF SCIENCES

Boston, Mass.. June 16.—Progress in the work of exact determination of the amount of heat received by the earth from the sun, which has been the object of experiments recently conducted by Messrs. C. G. Abbot, F. E. Fowle and I*. B. Aldrich of the Smithsonian Institution, at Washing ton, is described by these scientists in the June number of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. They have found that the amount of heat is 1.93 calories per square centi meter per minute; that is to say, enough heat is received from the sun on each square yard to heat a pound of water to boiling in 3% minutes. The heat which is received at the earth’s surface is somewhat less than this, i namely by the variable amount that is absorbed by the earth's atmosphere. The remarkable discovery has also been made that the heat received from the sun is not constant but variable from month to month or year to year j by perhaps as much as 10 per cent. This variation might be expected to i make pronounced differences in the growth of vegetation or in the general climate from year to year; but for some reason, perhaps through the variable effects of the earth's atmos phere. the variations in the heat re ceived front the sun seem to be unim portant so far as crops are concerned. The National Academy of Sciences has recently made an appropriation i of $r50 to Dr. Abbot for the purpose of enabling him to complete and test, on Mount Wilson in California, an ap paratus consisting of a concave cylindrical mirror of about 10" so.uare 1 feet surface for concentrating the sun's heat on tubes containing oil. which is then made to circulate through a reservoir containing ovens j and water pipes, so as to utilize solar j radiation for cooking and heating water for domestic purposes. Breeding ot Pigeons. The National Academy of Sciences announces, through the June number of its Proceedings, some interesting results on the breeding of pigeons. There has been a general belief among pigeon breeders that from the two eggs, which are laid for hatching, one male and one female are produced—if not always, at any rate, in most in stances; that of this pair the male hatches from the egg which is laid j first; and that for some reason in the adult pigeons there is an excess of male birds. Elaborate records kept for a period of seven years, first at the Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station and later at the Experiment Station at Madison. Wis., and now j printed in the Academy Proceedings by L. J. Cole and \V. F. Kirkpatrick, settle a number of questions connect ed with these belief of breeders. The observations show that there are hatched about 105 males to 100 fe- males, and that there is a higher mor tality among the young adult females than among the males. These facts justify the common belief that there is a considerable excess of males in the adult population. It is found, how ever, that there is no foundation for the belief that one male and one fe male are hatched in each brood; on the contrary, the number of the broods in which the two squabs are both male or both female exceeds that in which the sexes are equally divided. Final ly. there is no ground for the idea that the male is hatched from the first egg laid and the female from the second. Functions of the Pancreas. An annuoncement made in the Pro ceedings of the National Academy of Science this month tells of the progress which investigators at the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re search in New York are making in the study of sugar in human blood and the function of the pancreas in elimi nating it. i In diabetes the amount of dextrose (sugar) in the blood is higher than normal, and, when it is sufflciently high, it escapes through the kidneys. Messrs. Kleiner and Meltzer of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Re search announce that experiments on j animals from which the pancreas has been removed show that the ability of j the animal to get rid readily of sur- j plus of sugar injected into the veins is greatly impaired, and that the ability to get rid of the sugar can be tem porarily restored by Injecting a pan creatic emulsion into the veins. The authors are still at work upon the was absent making up the list of del egates the convention listened to ad- i dresses by the supreme officers. Su preme Instructor George N.

To*;.^ day the staff of life ii sailing over an un*'pn charted sea, while the diamond—a conujrf? modity the value of which one might ex-ip pect to be lopped in half even by the rumor of war—travels over a carefully i mapped course, protected always by the strong arm of the guardian of all the* Blue Clay, a trust known as the Diamond: Syndicate. There have been rumors, wild reports with no foundation, that the1 war would deliver the diamond a knock-* 1 out blow. Prophets predicted that trou ble in Europe would instantly curtail the demand for precious stones, while the}aj supply would still be the same. This rea-.v-v soiling made them look for a slump in?-a the diamond market, but in this they reckoned without the syndicate. When*^ the war In Europe began the syndicate closed its doors. It shut down the great*' I»e Beers mines in South Africa, and it closed its one selling office. In othef words, the world's supply of rough dla«p’'r monds was absolutely cut off, and with '*r so little warning that the diamond cut- n! ting firms—great and small alike—had lid" opportunity to take in stock. Thus while-"' the demand for diamonds may fall, there is no supply whatever, and therefore thd”"0 price tends to remain the same. What““ is more, the great financial resources of the Diamond Syndicate will allow it to stop business indefinitely, thus assuring 0 the value of diamonds even In the mosf depressing times of business and politics. Such is the plan of campaign carried out by the syndicate. After the stock It has already sold has been digested bjr^ the retail merchants it will resume sell-i ing again, and when it does so there wilt be plenty of eager purchases at prices not less than those of last August, when it ceased doing business. “It is 11 rnontha since the syndicate closed its office,” said... a Boston diamond merchant, “and th*. effect is phenomenal. There is scarcely rough diamond to be had today for love--* or money. What little stock the cutters* had on hand in August has been cut orj-rr* marketed, and there are shops, not onl/)r., in Europe, but in this country, with dreds of cutting wheels and not on«>i, turning.

At the meeting of "family” liquor-sel lers at Terrace Garden, President Quinn of the State Association of Retail Liquor Dealers made a statement regarding the association’s political activities on which the public will desire a little more light, urging the dealers to organize to prevent the passage at Albany of legislation ini mical to their interests, 51r. Quinn said: At the last election we prevented some who were unfriendly to us from going back. There were some Sena tors who had refused to vote right, and we went to the powers that be and when those Senators wanted to he re-elected they weren’t. This is saying both too much and too little. Who are "the powers to be” and what inducements were ottered them to prevent the re-election of legislators who do not "vote right” on liquor questions? If the eligibility of a candidate for office has come to depend on his status with liquor-dealers, it would seem the part of j discretion to keep the fact quiet, not to proclaim it. X’o better course could be taken to prejudice the case of the "liquor interests" and to make Prohibition a live issue in the next State campaign. The wholesale dealers at their recent convention adopted a wiser course. They said contemptuous things about Prohibi tion and glorified John Barleycorn, in each case inferentially revealing the In- j roads made in their industry by temper- ance legislation. But they drew the line at threats of political boycotting and re- frained from playing into the hands of their opponents by boasts of influence with "powers that be.” The above is from the New York IVorld, the great newspaper which we have so often quoted in opposition to prohibition and in favor of the i license system of accomplishing the purpose of the liquor traffic. The j World is apparently amazed at the j brazen defiance of decency. It cannot I understand the “voting right,” or "the powers that be." It has never before had a suspicion that those “high up" were dominated by the rum trust, or that politics in that great rum city are made in the saloons and brothels; that lawmakers are made or unmade according as they "vote right” or wrong. And the World seems to regret that Mr. Quin was not as two-faced and secretive as the wholesale dealers were in their convention. The Government’s Own Figures. Following up" a recent bulletin which showed more than 300.000 job less people in N'ew York City, the government's bureau of statistics has now tabulated the results of an ex amination of unemployment in fifteen other cities. They inidcate that 11.5 per cent of the wage earners in the families visited were entirely out of work at the time the investigation was made during March and early April, 1915. The survey of the fifteen cities in cluded a census of 390,831 families in which were found 614,358 wage earn earners. Of this number, 73.S00, or 11.5 per cent of all the wage earners in the families visited, were wholly unemployed; and in addition thereto 106,652, or 16.6 per cent were reported as part time workers. The highest percentage of unem ployment was found in Duluth, Minn., where 20.3 per cent of the wage earn ers were out of work, and 17.8 per cent were working part time only. The lowest percentage of unemploy ment was found in Bridgeport, Conn., where only 4.3 per cent were unem ployed; but 19.9 per cent of all wage workers were reported as -working only part time. The cities showing the largest per centage of part time workers were: Wilkesbarre, 32.2 per cent; Pitts burgh. 29 per cent; Milwaukee, 28.9 per cent; Bridgeport, 19.9 per cent; Philadelphia, 19.6 per cent; Duluth, 17.8 per cent: Toledo, 17.5 per cent, and Boston, 17.3 per cent. The per centage of all fifteen cities combined was 16.6 per cent. The investigations in Philadelphia and Chicago offered the nearest com parison to the results of Xew York Survey for the first half of February, •which reported 16.2 per cent workers entirely without employment. In Chi cago, 96,579 families including 157,616 workers were canvassed, with the re sult that 13.3 per cent of unemploy ed were found. In Philadelphia 79, 058 families with 137.244 wage-earn ers were canvassed. This investiga tion showed that 10.3 per cent were unemployed. Part-time wage earn ers were found to constitute 10.5 per cent of the workers in Chicago and 19.6 per cent in Philadelphia. Turns Off the Bryan Fauset. The Portland Argus, Democratic, suggests that the following editorial announcement by the Atlanta Consti tution Impresses it as being about the proper course for all to pursue: “Mr. Bryan's continued statements, at this particular juncture, make of him nothing less than a public nui sance: “Determined, therefore, not to be a party to this unwarranted embarrass ment of the administration, which is ably dealing with our present crisis, the Constitution will not at this time publish any more of Mr. Bryan’s statements; nor will it deal with them beyond such brief news references as may be warranted by the discussions of any private citizen." L Obvious Error in Maine Law Compensation underwriters have discovered what appears to be a seri ous error in Chapter 295, Laws of 1915, of the state of Maine, the Work men’s Compensation Act, in Section 1, Article IX, sub-division (b), which reads as follows: (b) If the injured employe has not so worked in such employment dur ing substantially the whole of such immediately preceding year, his “average weekly wages’’ shall be three hundred times the average weekly wages, earnings or salary which an employe of the same class working substantially the whole of such immediately preceding year in the same or similar employment. In the same or a neighboring place, has earned In such employment during the days when so employed and work ing the number of hours constituting a full working day in such employ ment divided by fifty-two. The Insurance Standard makes the following comment: “Underwriters are of opinion that the word ‘weekly’ printed in italics above, obviously should be ‘daily,’ and that unquestionably this substitution of the word ‘weekly’ for what appar ently should have been ‘dally’ is a mistake, as the legislature could not have intended the ‘floaters’ six times the benefits provided by the law for the workman employed for more than one year. “Of course the companies will, in all probability, have to take the law as it stands, so would the courts, and under these circumstances, the companies will be obliged to charge six times the rate that would otherwise have to be charged, which would of course be practically prohibitive. “It is possible that the Maine su preme court would rule that the par ticular clause noted above was uncon stitutional as being discriminatory in giving preference to one class of em ployes over another. "It has been suggested that a special session of the Legislature be called to correct the error.’’ The error is so obvious and withal so serious, because it must be taken to be, as it is, the law, that we sug gest it be referred to the special ses sion that must be called for revision of the statutes. That the legislative door may not be thrown open to pet schemes in such special session, doubtless the call by the Governor would be confined to that and revision of the statutes alone, and would be fully respected by the law makers. Hon. A. B. Funk of Spirit Lake, Iowa, after a year’s sojourn In the Northwest, brings the good news that the Republicans are going to carry the Northwest next year. “The Pro gressives, who were numerous out there, are coming back to the Repub lican party,” Mr. Funk says. “And conditions arc such, as a result of the Democratic administration that the sentiment is growing strongly toward Republicanism. The lumber industry in the Northwest is hard hit as a result of the lowering of the tariff on lumber. You wouldn't think Canadi an competition would make much dif ference -but it has made just the amount of difference that means the closing of a lot of mills. As a rule the timber lands in Canada are a lit tle cheaper, the trees are closer to water and the raw material, therefore easier to get out, and they admit for eign labor up there, which brings down the cost of lumbering. All these tilings combined permit the Canadian interests, under the new tariff con ditions, to cut just a little too low for many of the mills in the states to compete.” And now the Customs Court holds that the five per cent rebate on goods imported in American bottoms must be paid; and paid not only on such goods but on all goods brought in by ships of the “most favored nations" —which means all ships. The decis ion involves some twenty million dol lars, and though the case will be tak en to a higher court, this sum stands as a contingent liability of a Treas ury already nearly empty through Democratic mismanagement of na tional finances, and the case serves as another costly reminder of the in ability of Democrats to legislate. Now if some one could only devise a series of naval maneuvers that could convince Josephus Daniels that the Navy needs a new Secretary as well as new submarines! One effect of Italy’s entering the war will be to deprive Mr. Bryan of of his Chautauqua side-partners, the Tyrolean warblers, who will have to stay at home to fight this summer. Are Chicago’s jitney drivers on strike, too?

It is reported in several papers of recent date—and it does not look like paid matter—that Charles H- Fish of that town recently set a hen on 13 eggs and is now the proud owner of 15 chicks born from the 13 eggs. It is remarked in each item that there is evidently two pair of twins In that brood. Lewiston’s "New Sidewalk’’ year, inaugurated by Mayor Brann, is meeting with great success, scores of citizens meeting half way the prop osition to build now, the city sharing the cost at halves and waiting, if wished, a year for the payment of the other half. Miles of new side\yalk will be laid before next winter. Another splendid record has been made by a Maine teacher, Horace W. Shavler of Portland, who has notified the School Board of that city that he will not be a candidate for re-elec tion at the close of the present term of school, when he will complete 45 years of continuous service in the Portland public school as teacher of penmanship. Fathers’ day is again being called to the attention of the people of Maine and the publication of the following is requested: To Honor the Father To Editors of the Lewiston Journal: A few years ago I saw in a Western paper that a movement had been started in Washington state to estab lish a “Fathers’ Day,’’ the time select ed being the third Sunday in June, the rose to be the emblem, the red rose to be worn by those w^hose father was living, and the while rose by those whose father had passed to higher life. The idea appealed to me, as did “Mothers’ Day,” and I have since observed the day. If this appeals to the people of Maine, I would like to have them unite in observing Fathers’ Day on the third Sunday in June, by wearing a rose or some flower on that day, and to have other Maine papers copy this article and help establish "Fathers’ Day” in Maine. Mrs. F. E. HAWES. A natural lodge room is an unusual possession for any lodge, but Price Webber sends the Journal from Stan stead, Que., a poster advertising a Ma sonic excursion on Lake Memphre^ magog under the auspices of Golden Rule Lodge, No. 5, A. F. and A. M., G. R. G. of Stanstead on Thursday, June 24, with exemplification of the Third degree in the natural lodge room on Owl’s Head mountain. The 40-foot cruiser Rena has been secured for patrol work along the coast of Maine this summer in con nection with the Coast Guard service. The life-saving crews of some of the stations are taken off duty for the summer, requiring more patrol work. The Rena will cruise from Kittery to Bar Harbor, prepared at all times to go to the assistance of merchant ma rine, yachtsmen and fishermen in dis tress. R. D. Day of East Union recently found an abandoned partridge nest. He took the eggs to his home and set them beneath a hen, with the result that eight partridges were hatched out. They abide in the hen yard with Mr. Day’s chickens, and will eat from his hands. Many have called at Mr. Day’s place to see this interesting and unusual sight. Lisbon Enterprise:—The bicyclists have their rights as well as other people. It would be well for drivers on the public highways to remember that the bicyclist or a person riding a wheel is entitled to half the road, and should a person with a team meet a wheelman or drive past one on the road they must turn out the same as if they met another team. Should a team run down a bicycle on the high way and injure the person or damage his wheel, the person so doing would be held for damages. The courts have so ruled, and it is important that driv ers should understand the law and know that wheelmen have rights which all are bound to respect. Falmouth citizens are awakening to the fact that the number of recent fires in that town are many more than would be expected from so-called nat ural causes and are looking around for the unnatural causes, a few houses have been burned but the forest fires have been numerous and it is now thought that the fire which destroyed fhe old Lambert covered bhidge was the work of an incendiary. Strange men have been seen lurking in the woods and in several cases fires have soon followed their appearance. The people are much alarmed and careful watch is being kept. That all men pardoned from State prison do not fall is the contention of Charles W. E. Smith, a former con vict at Thomaston, who writes the Rockland Courier Gazette as follows from Rockport: I heard there was an article in the paper saying that par doned prisoners went to the dogs. I want to dispute that for one. He has not gone to the dogs yet, and I am sure he won’t for a while, and I think I can say the same about two others. I have been out about ten months and I have not taken any rum yet, and I am not afraid to say I never shall. I don’t believe in it, and I don’t like the taste of it. and never did. I have paid my way since I have been out, and have $30 in the bank. Not only that, bat I can go to any store and get anything I want. I believe there are lets of people who would like to have us fo to the dogs. Just to prove that their idea is true. They are down on a man who has ever done wrong, and they don't want to give us a chance. They have been telling a lot of things about me that they cannot prove if they should be asked to do so. Iam getting along fine and enjoying myself. It is fine to have one’s freedom. (Signed) Charles W. G. Smith. Joseph Richard of Lewiston is out with a Arm deniat of the claim that Fred H. McDonald of 138 Bancroft street, Portland, is the shortest con stable in the country. In fact, Richard produces figures which indicate that when it comes to constables of abbre viated stature, he is in a class by himself. According to a Portland paper, Fred M. McDonald is Just five feet tall and weighs 115 pounds. Rich ard, who is the son of Francis Rich ard of 97 Chestnut street, Lewiston, is just four feet five inches tall (or short) and weighs 92 pounds. He is 26 years of age and has been a con stable since he reached the age of 21. The sea coast mission boat Sun beam left Bar Harbor Monday for a western cruise, after a short stay, during which Rev. A. P. McDonald on Sunday occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church. The boat also took there a child for treatment in the hospital. Two ladies are on the Sun beam, Miss Gurdy and Miss Ingraham of Orono, who under the General Edu cation Board, are making a trip along the coast, calling at all the smaller and isolated settlements to see if it will be possible to do domestic science in the interests of social development. Deering residents claim that they felt an earthquake shock about 11.30 Tuesday evening, severe enough to rattle the doors, windows and dishes and shake the houses. Editorial Comment Indeed, a Beautiful Sight (Portland Express June 14) Visitors to Capfe Elizabeth yesterday at points between the Two Lights and Pine Point were treated to a magnifi cent marine spectacle which is un known farther inshore. A big six master not more than two miles off shore, with every stitch of canvas set, lowers, uppers and head sails, was bowling along like a veritable sea king of the sailing craft. The sun shone full upon her bringing into bold relief her back hull and enormous spread of white. Although too far off for a really satisfactory photo graph a good many amateurs chanced a snap at the beautiful schooner. Dernburg Tolerated Too Long (Portland Express) The principal thing the American people had against Dr. Dernburg was his effrontery in expressing satisfac tion over the loss of the Lusitania. He said the American passengers on board simply committed suicide. For that one remark alone he constituted himself a public nuisance which should have been abated long ago. He was not in this country backed by official authority, but relied alto gether on just how long the Ameri can people would tolerate him. It was longer than it should have been. Liquor Dealers Admit Russian Pro hibition. (Topeka Daily Capital) Most any old argument seems to suf fice for the National Wholesale Liquor dealers’ Association, provided it sup ports the "sacred institution,” the American saloon. 1 We judge this from a circular just received from this as sociation with a scare-head article, "Substitutes Hit Russia—People Are Now Turning to Narcotics and Drugs,” etc. "Women are the worst offenders,” this Russian story goes, but also "the moral of the Rusian troops has been greatly depreciated since the enforce ment of-the prohibition order.” More over, "those formerly addicted to vod ka and other intoxicants are turning to drugs.” We can take this with several bar rels of salt, but what is of interest is the admission so soon by the National Wholesale Liquor-dealers Association that the Russian prohibition system is enforced, and the admission that for mer users of vodka "and other intox icants” are turning away from their use. The last we heard from the Na tional Wholesale Liquor-dealers Asso ciation they were sending out a story of gn alleged investigation of Russia’s prohibition order that proved this or der a fake and a failure. This saloon champion has now shifted its ground and gives Russia's prohibition, so far as vodka and other intoxicants are concerned, quite a sendoff. Bryan Versus the Government (New York Journal of Commerce) The only excuse for giving further serious attention to the presumptuous attitude which Mr. Bryan has seen fit to assume toward the government of the United States, at a critical time in its relations with foreign nations, is the fact that he has exerted in time past and may exert again a pernicious influence upon many whose power of thinking is no greater than his own. The appeal to emotion and sentiment may oversway the appeal to reason at a moment when much harm may be done by yielding to it. It may not be fair to represent Mr. Bryan as steal ing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in, when he professes to speak in the name of the Prince of Peace, for he is probably not a hypocrite. His disorder is of the intellect rather than moral sense. He doubtless thinks that his way of dealing with a conflagration is the right way. He would let it rage and devour whom and what it will, while discussing the insurance to come afterwards and the -way to prevent the repetition of such horrors. Others prefer to work at the engines and lim it the destruction so far as possible and to save the precious lives and valuable property in which they have an interest. They would treat the rabies of the dogs of war, with a chain or even a club if necessary, rather than with patting on the head and soothing syrup. Mr. Bryan in his appeal to the American people for Judgment be tween him as a private citizen and President Wilson as the head of the government of the United States, has the colossal presumption to assume that there can be any issue between them for the people to pass upon. Mr. Bryan and Hia “Jingo Editors." (New York Herald) What is Mr. Bryan up to anyway. He talks of "jingo editors” and “war rior journalists” who, according to his interpretation, placed their own con struction upon the note to Germany and “colored It to suit their own pur poses,’’ and adds that It Is a relief to find the newspapers now saying that the note does not necessarily mean war. In the same breath Mr. Bryan says that something has been gained tf the press realises that the country will support the President. Of course the press and the country are supporting the President. Of course the press and the country con tend that the note does not mean war unless Germany chooses to make war. If there has been a contrary impres sion anywhere, if the idea had gone abroad that the note would lead to war, only one man in this country was responsible, and that man is Wil liam Jennings Bryan. He* resigned from the Cabinet rather than sign a note which he clearly intimated would lead to war. If he did not think the note meant war, why did he resign? As the Washington Times aptly puts it, "He has been the greatest Jingo of them all, posing in the appropriated plumage of the dove of peace.” As to newspaper support of the President, the only deserter in pros pect is the Commoner, owned and edi ted by William Jennings Bryan. Plenty of Response. (New York Evening World.) Mr. Bryan’s antics since he left the cabinet have not been without re sults. Springfield, Mass., has quietly dropped him from its Fourth of July program. Americans of German de scent call his appeal to them an insult because it "considers them not as Americans, but as Germans—those hyphenated Americans about whom both he and Mr. Wilson talked so slightingly." Even the Women’s Peace Party declines to listen to him at Cooper Union tomorrow. “We stick to President Wilson,” the women say. In the course of six rapid fire mes sages Mr. Bryan has managed to tie grotesque knots in his reasoning, mys tify most of Europe, amaze and anger his fellow countrymen and cause even his friends to shut their eyes lest his gyrations make them dizzy. He has been at it only four days. How much more must the country stand? Mr. Bryan and “Geoman-Amerieana” (New York Herald) “Confusion worse confounded’’ is the only possible description of the situ ation created by Mr. Bryan in his present role of busy bulletin issuer. In his address to German-Americans he defends the strict neutrality of President Wilson and in doing so In dorses the stand the President has taken that the sale of munitions of war to any and all possible buyers is legal and in no way militates against this country’s strict neutrality. Coming as this does on the heels of Mr. Bryan’s confession that the Amer ican note to Germany does not mean war—even If in his letter of resigna tion he intimated that it did mean war —the wonder grows. Why did Mr. Bryan resign? Was the American note which he so dra matically refused to sign merely a pre text, after all? Light and Airy The Fiction Crooks Perhaps we might forgive the crooks For all their crooked ways, i x If they would not keep writing books Or coming out in plays. If they would not refer to men Who simply toil as “rubes," And ridicule us now and then As “ginks" and “guys” and “boobs.” But it is hard to hear them brag And make a gleeful fuss About the way they cop the swag From boneheads such as us. We shall not give them our applause, As for our coin they clutch. We disapprove of them because They always talk too much! —Washington Star. Young Walter had heard the expres sion “untqjd wealth,” and was consid erably puzzled as to Its meaning. That evening when his father came home, however, he became enlightened as to the definition. "Father,” said he, “what is untold wealth "The property you keep from the in come tax list, my son.”—Harper's Maga zine. Small Boy—Please, muvver want to know if there’s a sugar trust. Grocer—Yes, my lad. Small Boy—Well, will yer trust 'er wi’ a couple o' pounds?—Exchange. A lady was walking through the park recently when two little boys, who were j playing near by, stopped her. "Say, lady, called out the elder of the two, “me kid brudder does fine imitatin' stunts. Give me a dime 'an he will imi tate a chicken for youse.” "What will he do—crow?” queried the lady. "Naw,” replied the boy, "no cheap imi tation like dat, ma'am. He'll eat a worm!”—National Monthly. She had tried In vain to get the tele phone, but the other parties were using the line. The last time she heard one woman say: "I have just put on a pan of beans for dinner.” She tried later but the women were still talking. Exasperated, she broke In crisply: “Madam, I smell your beans burning.'^ A horrified scream greeted this remark and then she was able to put in her call. —National Monthly. Canton Grange held an interesting meeting Saturday. During the morn ing session the Third and Fourth de grees were conferred on two candi dates. A commute, which constated of Mrs. Persia Adams, Mrs. Fannie Hammond and Mrs. Leora Berry were elected to draft resolutions on the death of Mrs. Clara Hayford. In the afternoon fine program of songs and recitations was carried out by the children, who were dressed in appro priate costume to represent the char acters. Tho hall was made very at tractive with lovely flowers. The pro gram was: Song, "Good Morning,” by all; song, “i Have a Little Pony,” three boys; dramatisation, “Puppen, a Little Chick”; sailing song, several children; Hiawatha Building a Canoe, Charlie Dyment; Kite Piece, several boys; song, "A Little Pappoose,” Nel lie Dillingham; song. “Honk, Honk,” several boys; “The Dolls Lullaby,” a group of girls; “Days of the Week.” seven children; dramatization, “The Cat’s 8earch”; recitation.

New Ehglandis Finest In the mill towns and the big cities^down in the ship-filled harbors, back in the granite hills, everywhere you’ll find thou sands of sturdy, strapping New’ Englanders smoking famous old Mayo’s Cut Plug tobacco. It’s the same rich, sweet, satisfying Mayo’s that their fathers and grandfathers smoked, and they get the same healthful satis faction out of it all year ’round. Mayo’s has plenty of “body” and taste, yet smokes cool and pleasant—it’s man's tobacco. Mayo’s is ripe, mellow Kentucky Burley, aged up to five years to bring out the richness and sweetness. It has been made in the same factory, by the same people, for over years. That’s why Mayo’s quality is always the same— ‘'always good.” Just give Mayo’s a week’s trial, and you’ll agree with us.

MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks New York, June 16.—After backing and filling for the greater part of the session, today's stock market turned strong in the final hour, its rise co inciding with the declaration of the regular Reading dividend and vague rumors of impending developments favorable to the I'nited States Steel Corporation. Prior to that period the market had shown r.o very definite trend, standard stocks moving with in comparatively narrow limits, while manipulated specialties repeated their recent sensational garations. In the railway list Grangers and some of the trans-Continental moved in confusion fashion for which mod erate foreign selling might have been responsible. Canadian Pacific held rather better than any other import ant issue in the international list. To tal sales of stocks amounted to 315,000 shares. Although foreign exchange was again demoralized, with new low rates betwen this center and London and Paris, this feature of the finan cial situation was less a factor than on the previous day. Yearly rates on London suggested greater steadiness, another consignment of $2,500,000 from Canada contributing to that end. hut later when pressure of commercial bills again became strong, demand sterling fell to 4.7614 and cables to 4.77. In each instance a decline of >4 per cent, from the low rates of yes terday was established. Paris exchange broke to 5.4614 for checks, a weakening of of a cent from yesterday's low record quota tion. Reichmarks and Lire continued to move more favorably to this mar ket, but offerings of bills on Berlin and Rome were very light. Further gains in the steel trade were report- j ed by the recognized authorities in that industry, recent domestic orders for new equipment adding to the in creased activity at leading mills. Sales of refined copper at substantial I fraction under the high price of 201™ cents were not confirmed. Features of today's bond market I were the strength of New York Cen tral debentures and Bethlehem Steel convertibles. Total sales, (par value), aggregated $2,910,000.

LaTena’s Big Wild Animal Circus exhibited Wednesday afternoon and evening in the city, giv ing a show that drew good audiences and pleased all, young and old alike. The acts presented were novel, genu ine and were well staged, and the en tire performance was of a high qual ity. Good crowds came in from the sur rounding towns to see Augusta's first circus of the season and all were pleased by the performance, a number of the acts of which would have done credit to a more pretentious show. There was not a dull moment dur ing the entire show for acts of merit rapidly followed one another. The wild animal acts were of special in terest. Hans Van Bross showed his mastery over a troupe of lions in a steel arena, the lions performing all sorts of stunts and paying strict at tention to every word of their master. Walter Allen and his performing ele phants also had their admirers. The elephants did everything from dancing to stepping over their master and as a finale Mr. Allen put his head in the mouth of one of the elephants. A feature of the show that was of especial interest to all was provided by Capt. Wesley’s troupe of educated seals and sea lions, the equal of which is seldom seen. They play ball, play in a band and one of the seals actually walks on a tight rope unaided, while balancing a ball upon his nose. Other excellent acts were a fancy riding act done very gracefully by two clever equestrian performers and a specialty given by two very clever wire walkers. A number of aerial performers, a large company of clowns and a fine lot of trained ponies CAPTAIN AND 21 OF CREW DROWNED WHEN SUBMARINE SINKS STEAMER STRATHMAIRN London, June IS, 11.36 P.

Yet in the face of such conditions with the added obstacles of freight and distance, the Journal has been able to. successfully handle for a number of years a large amount of New York and Boston printing with such promptness and satisfaction as to hold steady customers. A Concrete Example April 28 at 8 A. M., we received from New York an order for two hundred 64 pace College Manuals. Hie work was printed, bound and delivered in the hands of our customer in New York on the morning of April 30. That’s why customers in New York and Boston come to us for their work. We win because WE HAVE THE FACILITIES; and the “Know How” to produce quick work and with no sacrifice to quality. Our friends in New York and Boston appreciate tjie fact that “Time IS Money** and that a printer’s prices vary with the quality of his work. The final verdict must be the customer's opinion. f The next time you want a job of print* ing send it where they have the mental and mechanical equipment, the will to do and the years of successful accomplishment.

KENNEBECJOURNAL PR1NTERV You Touch a Magic Button When You Become a “Want Advertiser” There are still a few peo ple taking the Journal ivho have not learned to use the classified advertising col umns. They know that there are “such things” as “want ads,” and probably assume that some people must find them useful. But, for some reason or other, they have not put these “ads” to the test of usefulness to themselves. These same people have “caught up” with events in many other directions. They utilize the telephone, the telegraph, gas, electric light, the street cars. They adopt modern conveniences for housekeeping. They utilize time and labor sav ing appliances in business. But, having a task for a classified advertisement to do, they try to find some other way to accomplish it. If it is a renting-task, they depend upon a placard. If it is a property-selling task, they “put up a For Sale sign.” If it is a position finding task, they rely upon personal friends to help them. If they have furn ished rooms to rent, they place an advertisement in the window or over the door bell. When tnese people ma^e their first successful use of want advertising, they ac quire a new optimism. Irk some tasks become mere business matters. New pos sibilities, without number, open to them. They learn to Press the Magic Button of publicity when occasion requires—and, every little daily problem becomes manageable. f Classified; advertising is the Journal makes the whole county, yourJ market; makes the right .people your audience; f delivers your message to^all; people to whom -it could .have any interest or importance.

It would naturally be supposed that parents of children five or six years old would see to it that the little ones were at home and in bed before 10.30 at night, or at least adopt means to prevent their playing around the city streets at that hour, and especially near the railroad tracks, but that at least one family in the vicinity of lower Court street is a little lax in this particular detail of household government was noticed Monday night when at 10.30 and just before the ar rival of Train 2, which goes west from Augusta at 10,40, a boy of not over six summers was seen playing along the tracks between Winthrop street cross ing and the passenger station. He had a hoop off of some sugar barrel which he had found and was trying to trundle the hoop as he had probably seen some older boys do, and appeared utterly oblivious of the fact that he was on dangerous ground, although a freight engine which had been up above Winthrop street to take water was backing down to couple on to its train again, and the headlight of the Pullman was showing as the train reached the west end of the bridge. Night Officer Fox of the police force was at the railroad station and on be ing notified of the boy’s danger hur ried up the platform, took the young ster in tow and hustling him down to the walk In front of the station sent him up over Court hill, at the same time admonishing him as to what would happen to him if he were caught down town again at such an hour. The Hair Easily Made Beautiful and Attractive Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous and absolutely free from dandruff is not so much a gift of nature as a matter of care and proper nourish ment. A daintily perfumed tonic called Parisian Sage is just what you need to invigorate the hair roots and furn ishes the necessary nourishment to not only beautify your hair, but stim ulate it to grow long, heavy, soft, fluffy and radiant with life and beauty. When frequently used, Parisian Sage simply works a miracle even if the balr is dandruffy, falling out, dull, thin, matted or stringy. One applica tion stops itching head and removes all dandruff. Since Parisian Sage, which can bo obtained from Bowditch-Webster Co., or at any drug counter, never disappoints, it is no longer necessary for any woman to be humiliated be cause of thin, faded, or unattractive hair—and pretty hair certainly helps every woman to retain her charm and youthful appearance.

We. aviators fighting In the air Make salutation as about to die! The Battle Gods are glutted at the last. The Reaper Grim grows weary of the scythe, Not every soldier gets the bullet’s kiss. Not every sailor sinks beneath the wave. Not every gunner falls beside his gun. But for us airmen it was surely writ “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!” The soldiers' gun Is struck from out his hand; He catches up another and fights on. The trooper’s horse is killed, he falls un harmed To rise, remount and make another charge. The sailor's ship Is struck; he sights his gun. Unmindful of the other gun crew’s fate, Not thus the aviator hit in air! The soldier and the trooper may be struck By bullet or by piece of bursted shell, Or cut and gashed by blow of foeman’s sword, When then, In case the Fates snip not his thread f Why, this; First aid to injured, ambu lance Surgeon, hospital, tender Red Cross nurse, Fed on dainties, banked in by blossoms rare. Made strong again by woman's adoring eyes. Not thus the aviator hit in air! Thus with the aviator hit in air: The bullet's blow is death where'er It strikes. A sundered stay, a broken wing is death No less than shattered brain or riven heart— Ye pray thee Reaper Grim, send instant death!— For then we fall, Oh God, we airmen fall! And so, O hosts who fight on land and sea. We, aviators fighting In the air. Make salutation, as about to die! —John Dickson Sherman, in Chicago Herald. MUIN i V ILtLiB CENTER—Loren P.

FERTILIZER IMPORTA TIONS WERE VALUED AT OVER $30,000,000 IN 1914 The shortage of potash salts in the United States in 1914 was furthur ac centuated by the German embargo on export at the end of January, 1916. In spite of the interruptions to the normal trade in potaBh salts, the im ports of salts proper in 1914 amounted to 485.218,459 pounds, valued at 88,743, 978, according to a statement by W. C. Pbalen, just made public by the United States Geological Survey. These figures represent a decrease in quantity and value amounting to 21 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively, compared with 1918. These figures, however, do not represent the total imports of potash salts. There should be added the quantity and value of kainite and manure salts imported, amounting in 1914 to 482.867 tons, val ued at 83.297.590, making a total im portation during the year valued at 812,141,563, compared with 815,241,152 in 1913—a decrease amounting to $3,099, 589 or approximately 20 per cent. Potash Balts constitute only one of several fertilizers imported. Bone dust, calcium cyanamid or lime nitro gen, guano, basic slag, and other ma terials used for manure are also brought in. The total quantity of thee* materials including kainite and manure salts imported in 1914 was 761,896 long tons, valued at 89,921,439. In addition to the above importations, sodium nitrate valued at 815,204Ji39 came into this country from foreign lands, thus bringing the total value of imports as designated above up to 3*2,80,951.

When still very minute the animal bores into the sandstone ledges at extreme low water, by means of its sharp shell, which is replaced by secretions as it is worn away. It penetrates the rock to j a depth of six to eight inches, and hol lows out its burrows as it increases in size. Shaped roughly like a top, It could not leave its rock dwelling even If It wished to do so. For food, it depends on the animalcules that float in sea water, which it seises by its long siphon, or j tongue. The pbolas is in great demand at the seaside resorts along the Pacific coast, for its meat is very tender and makes excellent soup. The clams are dislodged in great numbers from the ledges by the use of dynamite, although It is pas sible to obtain them with a pick or crow bar.—The Youth's ompanion. Making it Emphatic.

We admit your claim to sincere patriotism to be as just as ours; we do not ascribe your desire *o avoid war to be a fear of death to yourselves or your sons, but rather to i your sense of the horrors, injustice and ineffectiveness of settling any interna tional issue by such a brutal arbitra ment. Nevertheless we differ with you in judgment that in the world of nations as they are, war can be completely avoided. We believe it is still necessary to use a threat of overwhelming force— of a great league with a willingness to make the threat good—in order to fright- j en nations into a use of rational and peaceful means to settle their issues with their associates of the league. Xor are I we militants or jingoes. We are trying j to follow a middle path.’ Issues Classed I “Issues between nations are of two elasses: First, issues that can be derided on principles of international law and equity, called justiciable. Second, issues that cannot? be decided on such principles of law and equity, but which might he quite as irritating and provocative of war, called nun-justiciable. "We propose that for justiciable j questions we shall have an impartial court to which all questions arising between members of the league shall be submitted. If the court finds the I question justiciable it shall adjust; if it finds it not it shall refer it for in vestigation, hear argument and recom mend a compromise. “We do not propose to enforce com I nance either with the court's judg ment or the conciliation commission’s recommendation. We feel that w<e j ought not to attempt too much—we j believe that the forced submission and j the truce taken to investigate the ju- i dicial decision or the conciliatory com promise recommended will form a ma terial inducement to peace. It will j cool the heat of passion and will give the men of peace In each nation time j to still the jingoes. The league of peace will furnish great opportunity I for more definite formulation of the principles of international law. The arbitratal court will amplify it and enrich it in their application of its general principles to particular cases. They will creat" e body of judge-made law of the higiest value. Then the existence of w will lead to j ever-recurring congresses of the league, which, acting in a quasi-leg- j islative capacity may widen the scope of international law in a way that a court may not feel able or competent to do. "In its practical application diffi culties now unforseen may arise, but we believe it offers a working hypoth esis upon which a successful arrange ment can be made. “It is objected that we only pro pose to include the more powerful nations. We’ll gladly Include them all. But we don’t propose to have the constitution of our court compli cated by a demand for equal repre sentation of the many smaller na tions.. “It is suggested that we invite a conference of neutral nations to bring about measures for present peace and to formulate demands as to the pro tection of neutral rights. This may be a good plan, but, as Kipjing says, that is another story.” Rudolph Roy Wanted in Washington Rudolph Roy, formerly of Lewiston Is wanted by the authorities in Wash ington, D.

Other one-time Progressives who spoke are: Rep. X. P. Gould of Leeds. Lucian Blanchard of Rumford, judge advocate general on the stafT of Governor Curtis: and Hen ry W. Oaks of Auburn. Five-Minute Speaking There were many speakers, the time of each not exceeding five minutes. A light luncheon was served in the hall so that few left from the call to order at 11 o’clock until the adjournment at 2 P. M. At the morning session the speakers were Frank J. Ham of Augusta, State chairman; Robert H. Hodgdon of Lewiston, county chairman and member of the State committee; J. R. Bass of Wilton; Fred R. Dyer of Buckfield, member of district com mittee; Charles B. Randall of Bow doinham; 1-Yank S. Adams of Bow doinham; S. J. Kelley of Lewiston; Fred Wyht of Rockland; Henry W. Oaks of Auburn; Emile Freed of Lew iston; Edward Lacroix of Lewiston; Lucian Blanchard of Rumford; X. P. Gould of Leeds; and the presiding of ficer. Candidates Speak Following the luncheon Mr. Briggs introduced other speakers. among them several candidates for Republi can nominations: Col. Frederick E. Hale of Portland; Hon. Timothy F. Callahan of Lewis ton; Hon. Cyrus X. Blanchard of Wil ton; Wallace White, Jr., of Lewiston; Hon. E. C. Plummer of Bath; Hon. John P. Swasey of Canton; Hon. Bert M. Femald of Poland, and Harry B. Austin of Phillips. Chairman Ham States Policy One of the features of the meeting was the first appearance of Chairman Frank J. Ham at a Republican gath ering since his election to the chair of the Republican State committee. He was greeted with applause and fre quently interrupted by the traditional sign of approval. The meeting was es pecially pleased with Mr. Ham’s state ment of the policy of the State com mittee in the making of the 1916 plat form and the leadership of the 1&16 campaign. Col. Frederick E. Hale Col. Hale spoke briefly but with vig or and with confidence in the truth of his strong Republican declarations. He remarked that he did not believe that the district which had sent to Con gress such men as Frye. Dingley, Lit tlefield and Swasey would ever again allow itself to be “misrepresented” by a Democrat. He said that the Progres sives had accomplished some of their purposes but had incidentally accom plished something upon which they did not originally plan—the election of a Democratic administration. He declared that the country must have a high protective tariff at the earliest possible date. In speaking of the many Republican candidates for nom ination for every degree of political offiffice he urged that every candidate pledge himself not to be bitter should the people select some other. Hon. Timothy F. Callahan The only thins which is making for prosperity in the country, declared Hon. Timothy F. Callahan, is the for eign war contract. If industries in the United States were not now being supported by the great foreign de mand, he said, the extent of the indus trial disaster resulting from the Dem ocratic tariff schedules would be the cause of the greatest bitterness and revolt against the Democratic policies. The voters of the State and nation understand the real condition, Mr. Callahan insisted, and they know the cure for the horrible industrial disease of low tariff and will apply it with a will when the time comes. Hon. Cyrus N. Blanchard The immediate need of the Second District is thorough organization, ac cording to Hon. Cyrus X. Blanchard. He declared that the district commit tee should take steps at once to be gin the complete organization of the entire district and prophesied that with the Republican forces of the dis trict working energetically and sys tematically at the opening of the next campaign there would be certain vic tory in 1916. Wallace White, Jr. Some of the planks which should be included in the 1916 platform of the Re publican party are, if Wallace White, Jr., of Lewiston is as good a political architect as he is reputed to be. Protec tive Tariff drafted by a permanent tariff commission; an American Merchant Ma rine, not of foreign ships purchased abroad but of American ships built by American labor in American yards; pro tection of American citizens whether they be upon the high seas or in seeth ing Mexico; Rural Credits; and solution of the social and human problems which confront all good statesmen. The Ten Commandments, Mr. White declares, will bear study by the law makers of Chris tian nations who wish to legislate for the betterment of human condition. Hon. E. C. Plummer The American voter of today cannot be won by party name conjury, according to Hon. E. C. Plummer; ne will attach himself not to the party name but to the principles which the name represents. Consequently such meetings as the one held in Auburn hall are in order, for the voter must be given more opportunity to learn the principles of parties and to study those principles, and campaigns must be waged on intelligence and not on conjury if the party system Is to con tinue a success. Mr. Plummer urged that meetings for political discussion be often called together by the Republicans of the district to the end that voters might learn the value of Republican tenets. Hon. Bert M. Fernald Hon. Bert M. Fernald opened hie re marks with the statement that few men have had more political experience and had better opportunity to study all the phases of political lite than has he, "for,” said the popular ex-governor, “I have been licked to my boots at times and sometimes I have won." Ex-Gov. Fernald said that the Democratic busi ness politics 'have injured the business Df every man in the State from black smith to mill operator and that the Eu ropean war alone saves the country from great economic disaster. “If it wasn’t HON. HARRY B. AUSTIN, Chairman of the Fish and Game Com mission, One of Speakers at Auburn Meeting. for the war you could not get together 20 Democrats in this town with a band of music,” he reclared. He said he was in good health and expected to live for a long time yet but did not expect to live long enough to see another Democratic President. Touching upon Androscoggin county conditions, ex-Gov. Fernald warned that it would be made evident at the next election that the voters of the county understood all too well that, tllough the Republicans had turned the county over to Democracy with a debt of only a few thousand dollars, the debt is already nearly *100,000 and the voters will not fail to rebuke those who are at fault. Harry B. Austin Chairman Austin of the commissioners of inland fisheries and game, gave the meeting some excellent advice on organ ization and urged that every Republican throughout the district conduct each a campaign of his own, standing consist ently for Republican principles and con tinuously working for the advantage of the party. He thought individual enthus iasm necessary for the propitious begin ning and successful ending of an ener getic campaign.

PROGRESSIVES IN BAY STATE CONTEST Boston, June 16.—The Progressive party will enter the campaign next fall for all state offices, according to Secretary P. J.

Ex-Secretary of State Issues First Section of New Statement on “The Causeless War” Points to New and Trying Situations Con fronting Neutral Nations Washington, June 16.—Former Sec retary Bryan, in the first section of his statement on “The Causeless War,’’ today prophesied that the great est peace-making opportunity in all history was certain to come to the United States and declared there would be a demand for an internation al conference, with the return of peace, to change the rules of interna tional law, which "seem to have been made for the nations at war rather than for the nations at peace.” Delicate Questions “Under the stress and strain of the titanic struggle in which they are en gaged,” Mr. Bryan’s statement says, "each side has felt itself justified in ereroaching upon the rights of neu trals. The ocean highways, the com mon property of all, have been to some extent appropriated for war purposes and delicate diplomatic questions are forced upon the neutral nations. “Just at this time, when the ques tions are most acute, the belligerent governments are least able to deal with them with the calmness and poise which their great importance demands. No wonder every neutral nation is in creasingly anxious for the war to end; but of all the neutral nations ours has the most reason to pray for the re turn of peace—most reason to set its face resolutely against participation in this war. This nation, the head of the neutral group and the sincere friend of all the belligerents, is in duty bound to set an example in pa tience and self-restraint. U. S- Opportunity “In all history no such opportunity has ever come to any other nation as that which is destined to come to the United States. In all history no other peacemaker has ever been in position to claim as rich a blessing as that which will be pronounced upon our President when the time for mediation comes—as come it must.” Introducing his statement, Mr. Bry an graphically describes the horrors and afflictions of the war and says: “Neutral nations cannot look on i with indifference—the ties that bind them ogether are too strong, the re tionship too intimate. This is espe cially true of the United States. We have a composite population—every nation of Europe having contributed liberally to our citizenship. These, our countrymen, themselves born abroad or immediately descended from foreign-born ancestors, cannot but take a lively interest in the conduct as well as in the results of the war and a still larger circle shares the con cern of those directly connected. Not a soldier falls on either side but the sorrow expressed in his home finds an echo at some fireside in the Unity I States.” Aside from sentimental consider*, tions. Mr. Bryan asserts, neutral n». tions suffer serious disturbance cause of the war. "Nearly every neutral nation find, new domestic problems thrust upy it and old problems made more dinj. cult,” the statement declares. American citizen can note without de^ concern the manner in which *v questions have introduced themaehy into our policies—overshadowing nomic issues and stimulating agitatly in favor of enlarged appropriations ft, military and naval purposes" At some length Mr. Bryan refers to interruptions to neutral commerce, d*. rangement of business and conseq]^^ readjustments, and speaks of BcarcrMP American ships as one of the g^ea^ embarrassments to the United States. “The neutral nations are put to a gr** expense to preserve neutrality and are constantly in danger of being embroiled in the war without intention or fault on their own part,” he declared. "The rule, of international law seem to have been for the nations at war rather than the nations at peace. It is almost impossible to alter these rules during the war. be cause any material change affecting, as it would, the interests of the belligerent, would be a seeming violation of neutral lty. "As soon as peace returns there win be a demand for an international confer ence on the subject. The presumption should then be given to peace, for peace, not war, is the normal condition. If na. tions are determined to fight, the; should, as far as possible, bear the bur. den themselves and not be permitted to transfer it to the nations w’hich avoid war by resorting to reason instead o: force.” CHICAGO STREET CAR STRIKE ENDS AND SERVICE IS RESUMED WEDNESDAY AFTER REACHING AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE 4 Appearance of First Surface Car in Downtown District Is Cheered—Difficulty in Selection of Board of Arbitration Brings'-All Night Ses sion with Final Selection of Mayor Thompson as Third Member Chicago, June 16.—The Chicago street car strike is over. It was set tled by an agreement to arbitrate and by noon the familiar roar of the ele vated trains and the gongv of the sur face cars were heard again. Re-appearance of Cars The appearance of the first surface car, some hours after (the elevated trains were running, was cheered in the downtown district as the visible evidence that the 48-hour strike was at an end. Other cars followed with increasing frequency, and the drivers of vans and other vehicles which have been reaping a harvest in transport ing the population began returning to their regular vocations. Agree to Arbitrate The settlement was reached after an all night conference behind locked ifcoors in the mayor’s office. All points at issue will be settled by arbitration^ Operation of cars on all lines was to be resumed as quickly as the striking men could be notified.

VERY SUCCESSFUL CONVENTION SOMERSET CONG'L CHURCHES HELD THIS WEEK AT BINGHAM -REV. T. B. HAH IS MODERATOR HON. FORREST H. COLBY, Who Delivered Address of Welcome to Congregational Convention of Churches of Somerset County, at Bingham. Bingham, Me., June 16.—(Special).— The prevailing feeling at the close of the third annual meeting of the Som erset Association of Congregational churches and ministers which com pleted a two-days session Wednesday tew*. i noon, was that this was the most suc cessful meeting of the association. The association was the guest of the First Congregational church of Bingham and was pleasantly entertained by the townspeople and by the best of speak ers. Hon. F. H. Colby of Bingham gave the association a hearty welcome to which appreciative response was made by E. E. Harris of the Skowhe gan Congregational church. Officers Elected Officers were elected for the ensuing year as follows: Moderator, Rev. T. B. Hatt; vice moderator. Dr. S. M. Gower, Skowhegan; scribe and treas urer, Rev. R. L. Sheaff, Norridgewock; ecclesiastical committee. Rev. C. W. Rogers, North Anson, Rev. T. B. Hatt, Bingham, Fred Dlnsmore. Mis sionary committee, Elmer E. Harris, Skowhegan, Guy Williams, Miss Han nah R. Page of Skowhegan, F. H. Col by of Bingham and Rev. F. H. Means of Madison. Rev. T. B. Hatt was ap pointed delegate to the National Coun cil. Reports of the churchs followed, six of the 10 Congregational churches of the county being represented, and these showed the total membership to be over 600 with some increase during the past year. H. P. Wood In of Auburn gave a short talk on the financial con dition of the churches, and was fol lowed by Sec. Charles Harbutt of Portland, who spoke on the work of the stronger churches in the outlying districts of their sections, a sort of extension work. Mr. Allen's Address Prin. E. L. Allen of Good Will in his address on "The Young People and the Broader Vision,” outlined worlc for boys in the country who are not in school and unconnected with any church. Mr. Allen has in mind the forming of reading clubs and musical clubs to develop the boys according to their various abilities so as to make them able to increase their powers by themselves. This is adapted to many boys whom the churches cannot hope to reach and who for various reasons are not in school, though of that age. Communion service conducted by Rev. R. L. Sheaff of Xorridgewock and H. P Woodin of Auburn concluded the afternoon meeting. Evening Service The evening service opened with a devotional and praise service by Rev. T. B. Hatt of Bingham, assisted by Baker’s Orchestra. The address of the evening was exceptionally fine, being on the subject of “Opportunities for Young People in Christian Work” by Rev. .Tames Austin Richards of Mt. Vernon church, Boston. His main theme was the change that has come about in religious ideals. He contrast ed the old theology directed towards the saving of one’s soul alone and the new activities directed toward the ser vice of others. Final Session The concluding session Wednesday morning opened with devotional ser vice conducted by Rev. T. H. Wilson of the Congregational church, Skow hegan, and was followed by reports of committees and unfinished business. Rev. Frederick H. Means of Madison addressed the meeting on the subject, "Young People’s Conferences and the oGod They Do.” Mr. Means was one of those most interested in the forma tion of the Somerset Boys’ Federation this last winter and the holding of the first convention in Skowhegan recent ly. Principal A. G. Johnson "Character Building and the Public Schools” was ably presented by Prin cipal A. G. Johnson of Madison and it was the vote of the association that this paper be published in one of the county papers for the benefit of the general public. Mr. Johnson took up the different factors which form young people, the church, the home and the school. He considered that the home was not doing its part and that if the home assumed its entire responsibil ity it would make matters much more easier for the school teachers. He ga\e an idea of the part the citizens could have in providing good buildings and healthful environment. The work of the public school in character build ing was divided into several parts. Athletics rightly managed would cre ate a higher moral standard. Punctu ality insisted upon in the school, hon est work required and the considera tion for others which was Inculcated in the schools were other foundation stones in character building. Frank discussion of the subject followed in which Supt. C. E. Ball of Bingham Miss Dorothy M. Elliott, sub-principal of Skowhegan High school, were the chief speakers. Lansing Certain That Messenger Is Dr. Meyer=Gerhard Official Washington Evinces Curiosity Over Sensational Reports but Institutes No For mal Investigation ~v Washington, June 16.—Secretary i Lansing received word late today from sources which he regarded as relia ble that the man who sailed for Ger many with a safe conduct carrying messages to the foreign office at Ber lin from Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, was Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard. Doubt had been cast on the identi ty of the German ambassador's envoy by published reports that the safe con duct in Dr. Gerhard's name was in reality obtained for Dr Alfred Meyer, chief of the supply department of the German army, who was said to have been buying supplies in the I'nited States. Another story was to the ef feet that Dr. Meyer accompanied Ger hard. State department officials today ex pressed much curiosity over the re ports, but instituted no formal inves tigation. From one of the editors of a New York newspaper, an American citizen, came word that he knew tooth Dr. Meyer and Dr. Gerhard, and that he personally saw the latter on June take the boat for Norway. While the state department would examine any evidence that midt be brought to it, nothing thus faWrndi cates, i*. was said officially, that there is arty foundation for a charge o! trickery. DR. MEYERGERHARD EXPECTS A PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT OF U. S.-GERMANY QUESTIONS London, June 16.—(6.47 P. M.).—A peace ful settlement of the questions which have arisen between th«. United States and Germany is predicted- by Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, who is on his way from the German embassy at Washington to Berlin to explain the situation to the German government. An interview ac credited to Dr. Meyer-Gerhard is pub lished in the Frankfurter Zeitung and forwarded to London by the Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram Co. The interview was obtained yesterday at Christiansen, Norway, alien the steamef United States, on which Dr. Meyer-Ger hard was a passenger, touched at that port. "The conflicting views existing between Berlin and Washington regarding the Lu sitania affair rest on a misunderstanding and will be settled peacefully." Dr. Mey er-Gerhard is quoted as saying. "The conflict between President Wilson and Secretary Bryan is of old origin and arose from quite different causes than the Lusitania affair. The breach was rendered inevitable by the Independent procedure of the President, who rejected Germany according to his own ideas. As President Wilson framed this reply to Germany without even consulting Mr. Bryan, the latter had no other recourse but to request that he be released from the counsels of his rsponsible minister and drafted the latest American note to office. "The tension between the two must therefore be regarded as entirely a do mestic affair. The feeling of the Ameri can people and government towards Ger many is not at all bellicose; on the con trary there prevails an absolute desire for peace. "It is not true, as trumpeted abroad, that the fleet has been concentrated for participation In the European war. "The feeling among German-Americans is splendid. Their love for the mother land is strong, their Joy in our mighty successes in all theatres of war, affect ing.” 300 Marines To the Yaqui Valley with Equipment On Board U. S.
