But ■where j Germany has been preparing 40 years i for "Der Tog.” England was very much the reverse and they are just be ginning to wake up. We have plenty of men without resorting to consefip j tion yet. what we need and must have are shells and munitions. England is an armed camp. There are plenty of soldiers, but there is no use putting them up against strongly intrenched positions that hold one machine gun to every four yards until we have the ammunition to break a way through for the infantry. And in the meantime it seems to be good policy to let the Germans break themselves against our defense as long as they will. When they abandon the offensive our 1 time will come. Admires British Soldiers. I've been mixed up with the British soldiers for some time now and I tell you there is not a cleaner fighter nor better gentleman in the world than the average Englishman. They know how j to win and "they know how to lose, j They never forget they are gentlemen I no matter what they do and they have the courage that knows no ending. Napoleon said: The British nation is a race of lions led by asses’’ and he was quite right. They are thought to be snobs but I admire them. I have j seen the ‘snobs” out in France and braver men nor truer gentlemen never j lived. They share the hardships with the men and never ask them to do what they won’t do themselves. The men worship them and will follow them anywhere. I have yet to witness a German officer leading his men in a charge. They follow after. But the British officer always leads his men and so does the French. He Leads, Not Follows. For an example of the average Brit ish officer let me tell you of my com pany commander, Lieut. Scott. He was only a boy of 20 and a direct de scendant of Sir Walter Scott. He was an only son of one of the proudest families in Scotland. When there was I any risky work to be done he would not shift it off on to a sergeant or I corporal but would ask for volunteers and when he had those he wanted would lead himself. His unflinching devotion to what he considered his duty and quiet courage in the per formance of that duty was something beautiful to witness. The best blood of England is being spilled out upon the battlefields of France and in the Dardanelles, and do you think they would do it. if they didn't consider it their solemn duty? England did not want this war. Was not prepared for this war. and would not have been involved if she had not been honorable enuogh to live up to her agreement to protect Belgium’s neutrality. Roosevelt makes no se cret of the fact that the United States was a party to the same agreement as was Germany and France, Every Man’s Quarrel Tou say It is not my quarrel. I say It is any man’s quarrel that’s worthy of being called a man. And just as long as I can do anything towards smashing the Germans I am going to do it. I’m not fighting for Great Britain. I am fighting for humanity, and against a system that Is worse than the system which Lincoln broke up.

Officials of the Washington government were surprised at the destruction of the Leelanaw, but beyond adding an aggra vating incident to the. already strained relations between the two governments, there was no indication that the case would lead to a new turn in the general situation. CREW OF THE U. S. ST’R LEELANAW GOES TO DUNDEE Expect to Hear Stories Today— Meagre Details Carry Infor mation That Submarine Com mander Gave Full Warning London, July 26. 11.30 P. M.—All the crew of the American steamer Leelanaw are expected to reach Dun dee tomorrow when it will be rossible to obtain a full account of the sink ing of the vessel by a German sub marine off the Orkney Islands Sun day night The episode has created widespread discussion in England, coming as it did almost coincident with the delivery of the American note to Germany. Only meagre accounts of the de struction of the Leelanaw have beer? received here, but it is claimed that the submarine gave the commander of the steamer ample warning, even per mitting the crew to collect part of their effeffcts before taking them aboard the underwater craft, which then, through the combined use of shellfire and bombs, sent the vessel to the bottom. The London evening papers, in tell ing of the incident, employ, in sojpe cases, suggestive captions, such as ‘‘an unfriendly act.’’ But because the American note laid so much stress on the demand that American' lives on merchant ships Bhould not be jeopardized without warning, It was upon the English mind to determine whether the sink ing of the ship after the crew were taken off constituted what America would regard as a repetition of acts which she insists must cease. E. H. Dennison, the American con sul at Dundee, has the matter in charge. He sent The Associated Press the following message tonight: "No details yet except crew land ed at Kirkwall this morning. Have or lered them sent to Dundee on tomor row’a^boaf^. Crew Saved The fact that the crew of the vessel were saved caused a feeling of relief in official quarters, hut there were many evidences of apprehension that if Germany continued to promise pay mer.t. yet destroyed more American shies, a new- situation might be cre

A coroner’s jury will start an inquest tomorrow, while Federal departments, headed by Secretary of Commerce Red field, and officers, from the city police department and the of fice1 of the state’s attorney,‘will gather evidence, holding form al inquiry in ’abeyance until the inquest has progressed as far as possible.-» Efforts w^re continued today to remove victims of the disaster fromT the wrecked £hip and determine whether the to tal death .list would remain around 1000 or creep up to 1200 or more. Registration of employes by the Western Electric Co. showed nqhrly 400 missing, bu t many of the names of these were included in the list of 826 bodies already identified. It was said also that probably a goodly number did not report at the plant, although safe. The probability of swelling the list above a thousand was suggested by the announcement of detectives from the state’s attorney’s office that they had seized the tickets taken from pas sengers boarding the Eastland for the excursion to Michigan City, Indiana. They asserted that these tickets numbered 2550 and did not account for children, musicians and the 72 mem bers of the crew. 2800 Passengers They estimated that the total number of persons aboard the steam er might have been 2800 or more, in stead of 2*48 previously announced by officers of the Indiana Transporta tion Co. The lessees of the ships as serted that 2408 passenger tickets had been collected. State’s Attorney Mac lay Hoyne, fn pursuing hiS investiga tion tonight seized correspondence which had been passed between the Western Electric Qnployes’ organi zation, which gave -the pienie, and the Indiana Transportation Co., operating the Eastland and four other steamers set aside to carry mo[e than 7000 per sons across the lake. More Tickets, More Rebate The state’s attorney said this cor respondence showed that the steamer company had advised that the more tickets sold, the greater would be the rebate paid to the employes* organ ization. Tickets were to be sold to employes of the Western Qectric Co. for 75 cents at the factory or $100 at the wharf. According to the state's attorney, the letters showed there would be a rebate of one-third on all tickets over 4000 and something less on 'those above 2500.

The picnic to Michigan City had been an annual affair. And these men said that employes who had refused to buy tickets in previous years had been given less remunera tive work or discharged, although probably without the sanction of ex ecutives of the company. To the con fusion of determining the total num ber of lives lost there was added much wrangling among officials of different Jurisdiction over tentative plans to right the Eastland which still lies on its port side where it sank. May Be 500 Under Water Despite an all-day search of the hulk by divers and a constant drag ging of the river bed between the wreck and a net stretched across the river a block down the current, only a dozen bodies were found. Estimates of the number still held under water varied from 150 to 500. Estimates by marine engineers show ed that it would take from 10 to 30 days to put the Eastland on its keel. It was said that until the ship was removed it could not be determined how many, if any. bodies had been caught under the hull and the superstructure. Plans to use dynamite In tuising bodies embed ded in mud were abandoned for the time being for fear the explosions might destroy evidence the ship could give of possible mismanagement of the water ballast system, given by several marine engineers as a possible cause of the calamity. Coroner HofTman placed V. J. Wood, a naval architect, who had dubbed the Eastland “the crank of the lakes,” in charge of all work at the wreck, so that any evidence in regard to faulty construction of the ship or improper handling might be preserved. The coroner, the state’s attorney and city officers reiterated their charges that all possible causes for the disaster could be charged to negligence by fed eral inspectors, or failure of federal of ficers to enforce marine laws. The last inspection of the Eastland was made by Robert Reid, government inspector, at St. Joseph, Mich., who found that steamer fit this spring and procured a position as chief engineer on the boat for his son-in-law, J. H. Erickson. Redfisld to Take Charge Correspondence made public last night between Secretary of Commerce I Redfleld and William H.

EXPECT HALF OF STANDARD OIL WORKERS AT BAYONNE TO RE11IRN TO WORK TODAY English and American Employes Agree to Sug gestions of Sheriff Kinkead Strikers’ Com mittee “Chairman” Is Arrested and Un masked under Sensational Circumstances Jfew York. July 26.—Development* In •the stnke situation at Bayonne. N. J., tonight indicated that probably half of the 5000 employes of the Standard OH Co. of New Jersey would return to work tomorrow morning. In re isponse to an appeal of Sheriff Kinkead at a mass meeting tonight the English speaking and American citizens among the employee agreed to return to work, although the foreign speaking elements earlier in the day had refused an offer from the company which the sheriff had urged them to accept. It is estimated that 3500 men signified their Intention of returning to work and that probably half of the employes speak English or are American citizens. What the foreign speaking element will do ■when the others go back, is problemat ical. Sheriff Kinkead'a proposal was that the sinkers return to work, with the assurance of Supt. Hennesev that he would recommend an increase in their w agee. Unmasking of Baly An interesting feature of the day was the arrest and unmasking of Je remiah J. Baly. chairman of the sink ers’ committee. It came after It was shown by the record that Baly had never been an employee of the Standard Oil Co. Baly in a signed statement, which was made public by Sheriff Kinkead. who ordered his arrest and is inves i tlgating his career, said that he had "falsely and maliciously represented himself to Sheriff Kinkead. the sinkers and the Standard Oil officials as an employee of the company,”’ and "that iie regretted the part he had i played.” Baly, who is 22 years old and says he was born in Bohemia, lives in Elizabeth, N. J„ and was an employe i of a stamping machine company there up to the time the Standard Oil strike started. In a statement to newspapermen, Baly emphatically denied, in answer to question, that he waB at work In Bayonne in the interest of any or ganization. He vaguely said that a friend had urged him to go to Bayonne to help the strikers. How Foreign Newspapers View the American Note Berlin. July 28.—(Via, Condon, 4.30 P. M.).—In tones of genuine regret that the American note disregards the German standpoint and makes the situation tween the United States and Germany more tense, but without abandoning hope of an eventual settlement of the difllcul tlea, Eugen Zimmerman, seneral director of the Cokay Anzeiger, and Theodor Wolff, rdltor-in-.'ftief of the Berliner Tagebiatt, today discussed at length the latest diplomatic document on submarine warfare. Called Contradictory Hsrr Zimmerman, after declaring that the note contains errors and contradic tions, insists that America, which itself recognised the submarine as an unprece dented weapon, nevertheless failed to ad mit that Germany had pointed out a way to preserve neutral rights under the new style of warfare. He reiterates that Ger many, despite the unsatisfactory note, will continue "to treat America politely and considerately as long as that appears useful." In reply to the last paragraph of the note Herr Zimmerman says: "There is lacking again the necessity, recognized by America itself, of viewing submarine warfare as being not covered by existing international law. We re serve the right specifically to determine against whom we are unfriendly or who, through no fault of ours, are drawn Into suffering." The writer contends that the chief diffi culties He with Great Britain and that the co-operation President Wilson Is seeking to give in his note to England will prove whether this is true or not. engiana 3 rosmon "President Wilson invites the German government to common efforts for free dom of the seas and Germany certainly will not refuse this nor any other nego tiation consistent with its dignity and In terests. Germany tirst. however, would like to advise Mr. Wilson to determine England’s position as regards his plane, in order that no unwelcome nullification of his work result. Or does he already know it?” The Tageblatt after declaring that President Wilson s standpoint under all circumstances is the opposite of reason able. right or correct reason, says: •We are not so slavishly unfree in our thinking as Americans are told. We believe that Mr. Wilson essential ly is not free and that his ideas of humanity and neutrality are not vol untarily in accord with the interests of his electors. A “Humana” Purpose "We nave an urgent desire to have the rules of humanity observed as far as possible and to use all means to rescue and to give protection to sea travelers, but there m/vt be a prac tical means to this vtimane purpose. It is not humane—instead it is a misuse of this noble word—when it is •acted that protection of life must serve as protection for an enemy at tack or for trade in ammunition.” A CONTRARY IDEA OF GERMAN POLICY London. July 26. 3.39 A. M.—Several of the morning papers declare they are usable to understand President Wil son's reference in the latest note to "Germany to events of the last two months which have proved that It is possible to conduct submarine opera tions in accordance with accepted prin ciples of warfare. The papers argue there has been no change of German methods in this respect. The naval correspondent of the Times asserts the Blockade of the past t«e months does not bear out the view of President Wilson and points nut that the few intervals of decreased ac tivity always have been followed by renewed activity resulting in the sink ing without warning of British and neutral vessels and by loss of life. Hs aaya there la not the slightest indica tion that German commanders have changed their methods and that Pres ident Wilson’s words, therefore, tak en in their ordinary acceptance, "can oat be justified." The Time* says it is possible Pree tdent Wilson may have had from the British government some information which Is withheld from the public, but: argues that, so far as the facts have been revealed, there is no ground fori —IB—Ing any changes ftavo boas made in the instructions given German i submarine commanders. INTERPRETATION BY ONE PAPER London. July J6.—10.4« A. M.—In an editorial discussing the paragraph in the American note to Germany which invites the co-operation of the German government in securing the freedom of the seas, the Manchester Guardian says: "This whole passage should be very carefully noted. It means quite piain ly that in President Wilson’s opinion this country' is an offender against the principle of the freedom of the seas: we have in fact had several dispatches from President Wilson on this very subject, and these, it is be Ilieved. shortly will be followed by an other. "He declines to discuss alleged in structions of the freedom of the seas I with Germany now. but he says in effect that the case might be differ j ent if Germany showed sincerity in her attachment to the principle of freedom at sea by abandoning her submarine campaign which is the most serious infraction of that free dOm ever krtown. Let Germany do ithat arid Amerie* and she may do j sometfllmp together ..-for freedom on the seas. .TWe whole passage may well j occasion some very serious reflections in this country.’’ THE U. S. ATTITUDE SURPRISES AUSTRIA Vienna. July 26, via London, 11 A. M. —The Neue Freie Press* expresses it self as unable to understand why the United States refused Germany's pro 1 posal for protecting the lives of Amer ican citizens at sea and although seek ing the sanctity of American passen gers declined the practical means of fered for securing this end. "It is a question." the paper adds, "whether the same stiff-neckedness would be observed against England.” WILL NOT DECLARE COTTON CONTRABAND London. July 28. 8.10 P. M.—De I spite the recent agitation by certain sections of the British press that eot ton be declared contraband, the gov ernment has not changed its decision on this point. This is indicated by a statement made in the House of Com mons today by Lord Robert Cecil. Parliamentary under-secretary for I foreign affairs, who said that Great Britain did not want to deal unfair ly with neutrals, whatever Germany might do. "So far as cotton reaching Germany is concerned.” Lord Robert said, "it will make no difference whether it is declared contraband or not.” SCHOONER GEORGE SMITH FLOATED Southwest Harbor, Me., July 26.— The schooner George R. Smith, which has been aground here, was floated today. She was full of water. A tug took her in tow for Rockland, where she will be hauled out on the marine railway. SHIRKS FROM MAINE WIRES Preble H.

CONTENTIONS IN THE f CONTROVERSY OVER ENFORCEMENT OF ORDERS IN COUNCIL-SAYS WITHIN INTERNATIONAL LAW Reply to American Note of March 30 Is Received at Washing*4 ton Monday—Courteous Document Assures This Country That England’s Action Is Upheld by Decisions in U. S. Su* preme Court Washington, July 26.—Great Britain's' reply to the American note of March 30, protesting against enforcement of the Orders in Council, which restrict neutral commerce, was received here today It holds that the orders are j within international law. although they may involve a new interpretation j of principles and argues that it is j proper to await a judicial interprets- j tion. Judicial Settlement The new note, in the most courteous language, holds that Great Britain's! action is justified by the decisions of the T'nited States supreme court in cases arising during the Civil War. Any differences with the I’nited States over what is termed the new applica- I tion of principles, are held to be prop er for submissoin to judicial settle ment. Public Wednesday Secretary Lansing today announced receipt of the note but made no an nouncement of its contents. It will be forwarded to President Wilson at the summer White House- at Cornish. N. H., and will be given out in Washing ton for publication In morning nepers Wednesday. Tiie British note is a long, exhaustive legal discussion of each point made in the American correspondence. Its key note i6 a declaration that the British government has steadfastly held to the broad principles of international law in all that has been done under the OrdeT in Council and that if a neutral government feels aggrieved at the ap plication of the order there is a rem edy in the courts, or eventually*' in ar bitration. Generally, it If held that when a neutral country or port is made a base of operations, against a belligerent the other belligerent is justified in block ading such country or port. Contend Feer of Germany Assuming a sufficient legal basis for such a stoppage of trade with Germany through the neutral ports of northern Europe, the new note makes the point that the only way to ascertain the real destination of supplies from America consigned to those neutral countries ia to consider the amount of goods con sumed in their normal trade, for it is contended that the smaller northern European countries are so much in fear of Germany that they fail to pre vent, through actual embargoes, the re shipment of such goods into Germany. DECLARES MANY OTHERS OF ships on The lakes are as DANGEROUS AS THE EASTLAND Chicago, July 26.—William dander, secretary of the Lake Seaman’s Union, tonight said there were many other ships on the lakes as dangerous as was the Eastland, because of faulty construction. He held tha? the Eastland was not properly designed Itnd that the water ballast system was not the main fault. He charged that United States in spectors under Captain Charles P Westcott of Itetroit. chief of the Hake district, had played into the hands of ship owners at the expense of sailors and passengers. A clash of authority between city and county officials developed to night, largely because city police had turned over to federal investigators what evidence the police had collect- ed in regard to the sinking of the Eastland. It was said that State's Attorney Hoyne felt he should direct the local investigation and that the city offi cers should aid him rather than the federal officers. To this city officers would not agree. The city heads, it was said, assured Mr. Hoyne that they were interested only in getting at the cause of the disaster and would aid him wherever possible, but would devote their main efforts to gathering evidence to help the coroner's jury and the department of commerce. District Attorney Cline, after leav ing a conference, said the federal in vestigation would proceed despite any activity by Mr. Hoyne. Chief Healey said he was not in any way subser vient to the wishes of the state’s at torney and that the police department would do all it could to aid the fed eral investigators. “LIGHT, NOT HEAT,” SAYS REDFIELD J1' Syracuse. N. Y.. July 26.—"We want light thrown on this matter, but it will be better to have it light and not heat.” said Secretary William Redfield, of the department of com merce before leaving tonight for Chi cago to assume personal charge of the department investigation of the East land disaster. "The peopl* will, I think,” Secretary Redfield said, "await the result of the careful inquiry which must follow and will not be deposed to accept the judgment— some of them interested—which seem to be pronounced in advance of the taking of testimony.” INVESTIGATION BY GOVERNMENT Washington. July 26.—Secretary Redfleld of the department of com merce will arrive in Chicago tomor row to take personal charge of the department’s investigation of the Eastland disaster. Solicitor Thurmond of the depart ment. armed with all the records re lating to the Eastland, left tonight to Join the secretary and George Uhler. chief of the steamboat inspection service, now touring the Pacific coast, probably will be called to Chicago also. Solicitor Thurmond, who will have charge of the legal phases of the in vestigation, will co-operate with of ficials of the department at Chicago, in ascertaining the cause of the trag edy. Department Statement After Senator Lewis of Illinois had telegraphed both the department of commerce and the justice department today that a statement had been pub lished in Chicago that the govern ment had refused to countenance a federal investigation of the disaster and was shielding guilty officials, the department of justice issued a state ment. saying: “A federal grand Jury has been or dered for Thursday next, to investi gate the Eastland disaster that the attorney general wired the United States attorney and the party in charge of the department’s bureau of investigation at Chicago to give all possible assistance in developing the facts relating to the sinking of the steamer and going to show violation of federal criminal statutes; that any statements that the department Jus tice had refused to countenance any federal investigation of the disaster were wholly without foundation, and that any such statements as those re ferred to were false.” VASSALBORO SOFTH—Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Me., Jtfly 26.—‘Tm sell*; ing a little stuff to pay off a $4000 mortgage” is the fatal admission which forced Recorder Harry E. Nix on in the municipal court Monday morning to find Bartholomew Etasmo guilty of unlawful possession. The case was appealed by Attorney Whel-f' den and will be brought before the superior court in September, the. de^ fendant having furnished euretiea for. his appearance. y It was the staggering departure-of h man fropj the Eraemo home at>v6g Hodgkins street that led to theifuepl^ cion that liquor was being sold there! Deputies Cummings. Hartford T an4 O’Neill visited the house Saturdays ning agout 10.30 and all three told* experiences to the court this me Deputy Cummings approached house first by way of a back' porch and there peeked through a window.

When! the deputies had gained admittance! they went into -the dining room and) Deputy Hartford testified that he heard Mr. and Mrs. Erasmo talking inj* the adjoining bed room, though ha' i could not hear what they said. Gin was found beneath the mat-’ tress of the bed and on a stand be-| side the bed a bottle holding about a" gill of whiBkey.

"Why are you persecuting me?” was Erasmo's Inquiry, and later, when taken out into the yard he told about the mort gage and how he was trying to raise money to pay it off. These were tho only parts of their conversation which j the deputies could recall. The place had been visited twice before by Deputy Hartford and he thought he remembered finding a little ale on his last trip.

For the moment we are turned from the war and our nearness to war, by disaster at home. One thousand men, women and children have been sacri ficed, it would appear, by the negli '.gence of some one. Investigation will freveal the cause. We must await the 'report. Officials of the company that owns and operates the steamer East land have been held pending full in quiry. Did these officials neglect some of the precautions necessary to human safety, or did the company gamble on the chances of their boat continuing to earn dividends when she was known to be dangerously top heavy? The underwriters seem to have had faith in the steamer, a3 did the steamboat inspectors. The burning of the excursion steam er General Slocum in the East River at New York, is recalled, with the •scandal that followed. Let us hope i that no man has the present disaster 'on his conscience. It was not a case of useless life preservers with the Eastland—there was no time for life preservers—the setamer turned over on her side while tied up at the wharf. Many theories are heard, but almost any of them hinge on the chances taken on all these lives by some in dividual for personal comfort. If the crew had opened the deadlights be cause of the intense heat, then upon these men rest the blame, perhaps. If the owners, to save expense, had done away with the guard stationed to see that the deadlights were not carelessly opened, then the blame shifts, in a i measure. If the boat was improperly '.ballasted, then we must turn in anoth er direction, if overloaded what then? Out of the lesson will grow added precautions, and a dropping of care less practices in other craft. It is safe to say that the day of the Eastland as .an excursion steamer is done. Her •record is a bad one and topped by catastrophe. Throwing Away Our Chances. Correspondence from Sydney, Aus tralia, indicates that Japan is quietly taking advantage of the European war, and the consequent lack of ocean ton nage on the part of this country, to cut into the trade of the United States with Australia. It is said that the new Australian tariff will probably operate against the Japanese to the same ex tent as it will against the American exporters, but the alert business men of Nippon have gained a foothold in the Antipodes, which but for the war they would never have had, and they have the advantage over the Ameri cans of cheaper labor and a mercan tile marine. An extract from the Japan Adver tiser. of Yokohama, states that during the war. and probably after. British and German shipping will not be able to resume trade on the old scale. In the meant.me Japan will be able to build up a trade empire leisurely and uninterruptedly. Shipowners who have been hesitating to depart from their old policy of importing old ships from abroad, are now venturing to order new boats from the different shipyards in Japan, and the total tonnage of boats recently ordered, and in course of building will amount to more than 160.000 tons. Meanwhile the Demo cratic party has trance visions. Japan today is paying over $10, 000,000 a year subsidies to her mer chant marine. Her ships sail to Aus tralia. to South Africa, to South Amer ica, to buy wool, hides, lumber and various other raw materials, which are taken back to Japan, and the Japanese government, under the ship subsidy practiced, pays a large part of the cost of freightage opera tion. The goods are worked up into manufactured articles in Japanese mills, and again the subsidized ships carry out the manufactured product to find a market in every port of the world. Before the Panama Canal feat had been accomplished. Japan had arranged a schedule for two lines to operate through the canal. The Democratic party is confessedly incapable of meeting any situation having to do with our shipping. Two measures which that party attempted to put over to encourage the merchant marine resulted in nothing. One was the allowance of a discount of five per centum on all duties imposed by the tUnderwood tariff law "on such goods, wares, and merchandise as shall be imported in vessels admitted to regis tration under the laws of the United States.” Republican congressmen pointed out. wnen this clause was un der consideration, that, instead of carrying out the intention of Mr. Un derwood, it would act as a horizontal cut of five per cent of the Underwood revenue duties on all goods coming in te vassals with whom we had most nation treaties—practically all the Court of Customs so construed It In a decision recently handed down. It constitutes a fine example of Democratic legisla tive inaptitude. The second was the administration's pet measure of government ownership and operation of the merchant marine. This contemplated legislation of a character so odoriferous that even the Democratic senators were obliged to hold their noses. Seven of them balked outright and refused to swal low it. The bill was defeated and these seven senators were benched^ by Senator Bill Stone for "poor team- i work." Two measures of discouragement were enacted. One. the La Follette law, was so loaded with regulations and entailed such increase of operat ing expenses that two of the largest lines operating under the American flag will on November -nd when the law becomes effective haul down those colors and hoist a foreign flag in order 1 to escape the restrictions. Other lines have announced their intention of do ing likewise. Labor’s Share. In some one of the speeches which Vice President Marshall has of late felt called upon to get out of his sys tem. he declared that the share of labor in the products of its toil amounts to "less than one-fifth.’’ This misstatement went blithely on its way for only a brief period; and it has now been overtaken by the truth as found by a committee of the Na I tiortal Civic Federation, a body of sci entitle and non-partisan tendencies and with a holy passion for facts, j The census of 1900 showed a gross annual product of $3,240 per worker. This furnished the basie-line for the j Civic Federation’s investigation, and the various steps in working out the facts are interesting to follow. The $2,250 is gross product. The cost of materials was $1,395 per worker, which must be deducted. There is left $1,025 as the product per worker. Deduct ing taxes, insurance, royalties and so i on, the product falls to $889 per work er, and of this amount $590 and not $437 went to the worker and $299 to capital—68.4 per cent to labor and 33.6 per cent to capital. But plant must be allowed to depreciation charge, which j at 5 per cent is given as $124 per work er. This leaves $784 to be divided, or practically 80 per cent to labor and 20 per cent to capital as interest and j profits. j In other words. Mr. Marshall had the figures right, but he put them in the wrong place. His "less than one fifth” is the share of capital in the product of the country; while four times as much goes to labor. The Civic Federation is now en gaged in a study of census returns of a i later date than those of 1900. and it is interesting to know that these demon strate that labor's share in the product of the country is increasing. The chief cloud upon this bright outlook now is that, owing to the tariff laws which reduce or obliterate the protec tion to American labor, labor’s oppor tunity to produce anything but “war materials” is becoming most seriously curtailed. It is obvious that it makes no difference what labor’s share of the product is if labor has no opportunity to produce. The War Fever. Planning to prepare themselves for i military duty in case this country should be called to arms, hundreds of professional and business men are swarming to army headquarters at New York to enroll for the four weeks of training that the government is to provide next month in a special school camp up at the Plattsburg army post. I Though the younger college graduates make up the largert part of this volun 1 teer squad of recruits, eager for the schooling of an army officer, many of its members are men of middle age i who are dropping weighty business to qualify for possible service at arms, j So prompt and earnest has been the response to such rally calls everywhere of late, one can but feel that the war spirit has infected all the earth, and i that a government call for patriotic service would sweep this country like wildfire. The talk of bomb outrages by foreign born citizens in case of a declaration of war is reckoning with out the cost—God pity the poor fool making such an attempt and discov ered. I Manufacturers are using American made dyes this year to color the khaki trousers worn by our vacationists.

Now Are the Days Children Need Care Summer Heat Dangerous to Little Ones if Bowels Are Neglected. A mother cannot do better for her child than to train it from early in fancy to regular habits, not only as a preventive against much of the ill ness to which children are more or less subject, but also to insure their health in later life. Normal activity of the bowels is the basis of sound health. This is espec ially true with children in hot weath er. Do not neglect any tendency they may show to constipation, but promptly administer a gentle laxative, that will carry off the congested waste without shocking the system. An excellent remedy for this pur pose is the combination of simple lax ative herbs with pepsin known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores for only fifty cents a bot tle. It does not contain opiates, nar cotics, or harmful habit-forming drugs of any description, acts easily and naturally without griping or oth tf yr* er discomfort and is positive in its effect. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin has been the standard remedy in count less homes for a quarter of a century and thousands of mothers testify to its virtues. If you have never used it, get a bottle from your druggist or write for a free trial bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 453 Washington Su Mon ticello. 111. Maine Gossip I WONDER “When stars go out, I wonder where they go? I wonder where the Sowers get their j smell? I wonder what the talking squirrels tell. And what the quiet, shiny fishes know0" From dawn to eve, but most when Sights are low And sunset ray and vapor weave their spell— “I wonder how the small birds fly so well, i And why the winds that blow the birds won't blow Me. too, up through the far, green tops of trees0" I All day “I wonder"—faintly as a prayer— "I wonder," and her deep eyes, unre sign ed. Study the flight of swallows on the breeze. As lips, half open, murmur to the air The tremulous "I wonder" of mankind. —Hermann Hagedom in the Outlook. I Geo. Graves, eX-policeman of P. Isle and Fort Fairfield, and who was shot by a young fellow at the Fort several months ago and who retired from po lice duty and bought the Robt. Ford j farm on Fort street at Mars Hill, had a narrow escape from drowning this week, when in trying to fill a large barrel with water, from the street sprinkler pipe, the hose or pipe burst, the team started and Graves fell in- j to the barrel on his knees, and the I force from the two-inch pipe literally covered him for many minutes until j rescuers came and liberated him. It was a laughable scene for those on the outside looking in.—Mars Hill View. While working in his garden a few days ago John Turner of Andover found a gold ring which had been lost for more than 20 years. The ring was well preserved and the letters H. F. T." were plainly visible. Mr. Turner belives the ring to be the one belong ing to his brother Herbert who left Andover some years ago. I

Parties from West Point are said to have been looking over Lee's island in Phippsburg with a view of purchas ing it for summer home purposes. A spring on Peak's Island which has been used since the opening of the summer season by 20 families has been found to be "fairly alive" with typhoid germs. It is said by the sec- retary of the Board of Health that if l i any of the users of the water have contracted the disease, it will not be apparent until about the middle of August. It can well be imagined that there are some anxious people in that vicinity. A deficiency of 83 degrees in tem- perature from July of any previous year since records have been kept in Portland was shown up to July 24. Last year the deficiency was 70 de grees. Portland had a visit the other day from Cyrus H. K. Curtis and a party of friends, who called at City hall, where Mr. Curtis played several selections on the magnificent organ presented by him to the city. They also enjoyed a program by Will C. Macfarlane, the municipal organist. They expressed themselves as delighted with the music. The party was cruising on Mr. Curtis’ yacht and included: John Gribel, Edward W. Bolt, editor of the Ladies’ Home Journal; John J. Spur geon. Louis J. Kolb. Raymond G. Car roll, all of Philadelphia, and Mr. and Mrs. August R. Goeltaz of New York. David Johnson of Calais, the veteran lumberman, has made a record for the St. Croix river in the matter of stream driving this season. On Friday, July 9 he landed 11 millions of logs in Spednic lake, making a clean drive of every thing. This is four millions more than in any other year and the work was j done in 10 days less than the best pre vious record. Of this large quantity of logs, all but four hundred thousand were from Mr. Johnson's own oper ations and belonged to the Paper Co., the other belonging to the James Murchie Sons’ Co. Mrs. I. V. Mayo, of Boothbay. now i laughs over her recent experience of1 getting lost in the woods, though at the time, it was no laughing matter.j Mrs. Mayo struck across lots from herj home to visit a friend on the main1 road from the Center to the Harbor. She got well into the woods and found 1 she had lost her way. Her only guide came to be a cow in the lot. She struck out again and after 15 minutes of walking she came upon the same cow again and to the same spot. She I tried again with the same result. After pondering awhile as to what was best to be done she decided she could best find her way home and i managed to do so. Reports from the potato fields of Aroostook say that the crop is coming j along very finely. The opinion of ex perts, based on the amount of fertilizer shipped into the county this year, is that the acreage planted is from 20 to 25 per cent, less that last year. Caribou people were somewhat worked i last Thursday afternoon, when four 1 Area were discovered about the same time, three in the shed in the rear of the Lyman hotel and one in the shed behind the Gammon drug store. Light from the fires in little heaps of paper, bark and bits of wood shown on the windows and gave the alarm. It was found that two youngsters, hardly in their teens, thought that would be a tine way to have some fun and deliberately set the blazes. It was a narrow escape from a heavy fire loss. What shall be done with the lads is now a problem for au thorities and parents. A wounded deer was found last Friday on Grass Island, near Old Town, a party out in a motorboat seeing a dog chasing the animal. He notified Game Warden Geo. Powers of Bangor, who went up. finding the deer so badly torn and muti lated by the dog that he was obliged to kill it. The dog owner has not yet been located. Various yarns are now going the, rounds as to the proper cooking of sturgeon meat, but all ha. e neglected to mention the method used by a'l fa miliar with that delicacy. It is sim ple. Parhoil the meat until the oil floats on the top of the water. Remove the meat and then cook it as you would salmon, halibut, or other fish of that kind. You will find it rich and delicious, with the rank, oily taste entirely removed. This is the way the river cooks have turned the trick since lumbering was first started on the Kennebec.

A 25c. pkg. p#»ul Comment Germany’s Mad Bigotry (Philadelphia Public Ledger! j The German note is in effect a flat refusal of the America? demands— a refusal emphasized by proposals that aggravate the original offense. It repudiates all responsibilty for the sinking of the Lusitania, while pro fessing adherence to those principles of humanity of which that act was a conspicuous violation. It reiterates the assertion that "all distinctions between merchantmen and war ves- gels have been obliterated by the or der to British merchantmen to. arm themselves and ram submarines, de- i dares that if the commander of this particular submarine had given pass engers and crew a chance to take to the boats it "would have meant the sure destruction of his own vessel, and adds with paralyzing impudence that "it was to be expected that a mighty ship like the Lusitania' would remain afloat long enough after be ing torpedoed to avert loss of life. It then refers once more to the dis proved accusation that the Lusitania carried "large quantities of highly ex- plosive materials." and argues that this circumstance not only justified the attack upon her. but also accounts j for the rapidity with which she sank. It points out that the landing of these materials would have meant the loss of German lives, but it does not express the least regret for the loss of Ameri- i can lives. And. in a very climax of audacity, it throws the whole blame upon "the manner of conducting war j employed by our adversaries." Such a reply is an insult to the in telligence of the American people. Here was an act which was not only, in the President’s words, "an abbre viation of the right of American cit izens bound on lawful errands." but also an infringement upon "the sacred principles of justice and humanity." Tt brought from the L’nited States a severe reproof and a grave warning. The German Government was inform ed that the principal fact in the sink ing of the Lusitania was the sending of men. women and children to their death “in circumstances unparalleled (Continued on Page 7—CoL 7) RAILROADS STEAMBOATS.

GOOD INFORMA TION FOR A0T0 ISTS IN MAINE "When about to pass another auto mobile or carriage at night, put out your glaring headlights, or at least dim them.” This is the advice of the Bangor Automobile Club to all motorists, and is given prominent place in the bulle tin of the association issued Friday. “On electrically lighted cars this is such a simple, easy thing to do,” continues the bulletin, "and helps the other fellow to see your car as well as the road, that every automobile driver whose car is equipped for headlight dimming should ‘get the habit.' Glaring headlights are too often a fac tor in collisions and ditch disasters; do your part to make right riding safer and more comfortable." The road information contained In this week's bulletin is of more than the usual interest and is given below: To Bar Harbor:—The official detour route to Bar Harbor, via East Eddington, Clifton and Otis into Ellsworth is in good condition and has been thoroughly signed with direction and caution signs by the Bangor Auto Club. Work on the main high- J way, via Holden and Dedham, is go ing on at East Holden and this stretch may be avoided by taking the road in East Holden leading to Egerv’s Mills and thence to the main highway at Phillips lake. This de tour is narrow and calls for careful driving, particularly at the railroad crossing. To avoid Hermon:—To avoid the rough traveling in Hermon go out Union street to the Fuller road to North Carmel where a turn, sharp to the left is made onto a good road leading to the State highway in Car mel. The "Air Line”:—Information from Clifton, July 22, was to the effect that the "air line” to Calais is in good shape. Tlie Aroostook Hoads: Information received July 22 from Houlton says that Route No. 58 in the Maine Road Book is the best into Houlton. This leads through Veazie, Orono, Alton, Lagrange, Howland, West Enfield, 1 fcouth Lincoln. Lincoln, Lincoln Cen ter, Winn, Mattawamkeag, South Molunkus. Macwahoc to the Three Corners beyond Macwahoc, 112.4 miles, than turn left. This is a good State aid road into Sherman village. Here is a three-cornered grass plot where it is necessary to go right around and this takes one out on the Island Falls road taking up Route 58 at 120 miles. This detour is two miles longer but the better roads and the fine scenery pays for the extra distance. Ten miles this side of Houlton the new 1 trunk line is met and this is a fine thoroughfare. Reports have gone forth I that the Aroostook roads are bad as a result of the rains but a reliable re port says that they have never been any worse than other roads in Maine. The Haynesville road is reported as being in bad shape and should be avoided in favor of Route 58. STRAWBERRY RAISING AT CLINTON FARM IS PROVING BIG SUCCESS Winslow. Me.. July 26—(Special).— Probably the most profitable straw berry raising this season has been done by Alton Hodges of Clinton. He has one-tenth acre of the Glen Mary and other mixture of plants and from this bed he has harvested >62.62 worth, getting at the rate of nearly $700 per acre. He has done what others might j do. He used bam dressing on the crop and had a good rich soil. In many cases it took only 25 berries to fill a quart box and the quality of the ber i ries was such that he has sold them I at a higher price than most berry raisers realise. On many of the plants there were 2?, berries on a stem and an interesting part of this incident is that though it is the last week in July the 1 bed is now bearing. The. bed produced up to July 25. 495 boxes. This bed is partly two years old and partly of last vear’s setting BELIEVE TRAMPS SET NORWAY FIRE Norway, Me.. July 26.—The postof flce, general store and grain mill, Norway Lake Supply Co., building, owned by Edward DeWltt and Virgil Dunn, both of Norway, was destroyed by fire early Sunday The fire which was discovered by John Smith, pro prietor of the store, is supposed to have been set by tramps who were spending the night in the mill. Mr. Smith sent in the alarm to the village and Dr. Bial F. Bradbury helped to haul the fire fighting apparatus to the scene with his auto. The blase was so well under way that nothing could be done to save the buildings. The fire is supposed to have started in the mill where it must have been set accident ally by the tramps. Nothing but a few books were saved from the buildings. It was late in tha day before the fire was extinguished. The loss is partial ly covered by insurance. DeWitt and Dunn estimate the loss of the build ing at $4000 and the contents at $8000. READFIELD DEPOT—Mrs. Caroline Denton waa an overnight guest of her sister, Mra Mehltable KensiU, Portland.

Clark of Worcester Is visit ing relatives in the village. has been with Editorial Comment (Continued from Pape Six') in modern warfare," and that Buch a crime involved an indisputable prin ciple upon which the American gov ernment must stand. It was further informed that the American Gov ernment would omit no word or act necessary to protect the lives and se cure the rights of American citizens, and that it would expect the discon tinuance of practices Inimical to both. All this is ignored in the German note. T,here is no apology, no promise of reparation. There is no recognition j of the claims either of law or of hu i manity. There is no acknowledgment I even of the specific obligations im posed by the treaty of 1828. The Ger man Government defends, it almost (glories in, its brutal and savage methods of warfare. It affects to be lieve that it has absolutely no choice, that the issue is the starving of the German people or the loss of their in dependence. It repeats the hypocriti cal plea that it is carrying on a war of defepce and that the "contraven tion of international law" by its ene mies as compelled it to fight the devil with fire. It is unrepentant, defiant. in its disregard of every demand the American Government has made, ev I ery principle it has enunciated. Nor is this all. Rejecting law. de I nying justice, the German Govern 1 ment attempts to make neutral rights a matter of bargain and sale. It ad mits a willingness, under conditions prescribed by itself, to forego murder on the high seas in certain specified cases. It still holds that warnings of danger should be sufficient to keep neutrals away from arbitrarily estab lished 'war zones, and insolently ob serves that there appears to be “no compelling necessity for American i citizens to travel to Europe in time of war on ships carrying an enemy flag." If there is any necessity for their traveling at all, It will gracious ly permit them to do so if they ac cept certain stipulations. Neutral ships will be given safe passage if they carry no contraband, if they have special markings, and If the commanders of German submarines are "notified a reasonable time in ad vance." A "reasonable number" of such ships may fly the American flag. Nay, if the traffic demands it. as many as four enemy passenger steamships may be used for passenger traffic un der similar guarantees. This exces sive liberality approaches prodigality. The United States, by abandoning all its rights as a neutral, can have a few of them back by kind permission of Germany. Meanwhile Germany would gain all she has asked for—the pro 1 hibition of contraband, interference with the transport of munitions of war and a free hand for submarine warfare, without regard to the safety of non-combatants, upon the bulk of transatlantic commerce. Such pro posals are so fantastic, so far from any principles either of belligerency 1 or of neutrality which have hitherto obtained, that the conclusion that they were made to be rejected can be resisted only on the assumption that Germany has lost all sense of proportion, all power of logical argu ment, and has become the paranoiac among nations. The instant and un qualified rejection of them is a duty which the Administration owes to the United States and all the world. Was it for such an end as this that the American people exercised an al most unexampled self-restraint under extreme provocation, and the Presi dent appealed to “the sacred principles of justice and humanity" and offered Germany a way to escape consistent with her dignity and honor? Was it for this that the discussion was allow ed to drag on. that the impertinences of the German ambassador went un resented, that negotiations were sus pended while his emissary, Dr. Meyer Gerhard, went to Berlin to inform the German Government of the true sit uation, to Impress it with the neces sity of conciliating American public opinion? "What could he have said to convince It that such a note as this would be received except with amaze ment, scorn, derision, anger? Do the German Emperor and his advisers really think that our patience means poltroonery, that w’e have forgotten, or can forget, those unquiet graves off the IriBh coast, the known and the unknown, the men of affairs, the wives and mothers, the helpless lit tle children who perished in that aw ful tragedy? There is but one an swer to such questions as these, and every true American hopes and be lieves that the President will make it promptly and emphatically. Discus sion is useless; debate is futile. Ger many has not disavowed, and will not disavow, a crime against humanity; she wil] not abandon a policy that mocks at civilisation. The President promised to omit. no word or act to vindicate the honor of the United States. The word has been spoken and rejected. It Is now time for the act The annual meeting of the Maine Btata Detective Association will be held In Lewiston Sept. Governor's day at tho

“Rated at $10,C0O,0Quality Wins “I Like Your Bathing Suits/* was the comment of one of our visitors Sat urday. I have told my friends about them and have recommended them as the best. The bathing Suit that so pleased this lady was made in one piece, the skirt can never become detached. It is easy to put on or to take off, no complicated folds or fast enings. It furnishes absolute protection in and out of the water, it can not gap and it fits perfectly. The special one piece combination lessens the tendency to cling when wet, enabling the wearer to preserve a pleas ing appearance at all times and to avoid that “drenched” look on coming out of the water. Materials in these suits are the best obtainable for the purpose, the workmanship is guaranteed. The Water sprite, for that is the trade name for this Suit, stands for comfort, safety and satisfaction in bathing apparel.
