The British for* cign office announces that in view of the fact that Bulgaria has announced she is at war with Serbia and is an ally of the Cen tral Powers.

M.—From all the roam battle fronts comes news of continued fighting but from none of them has been received any indication o! victories or reverses which would make a marked change in the gen eral situation. The Austrians. Ger mans and .Bulgarians are proceeding methodically with their invasion of Serria, which, according to neutral re ports is costing them a very heavy pr.ee in the lives ^>f their soldiers, as the hardened veterans of Serbia are tikir.E every advantage of the difficult wuntry to inflict the greatest possible loo* on the invaders: Troops at Saloniki The Germans, however, have been able to occupy; Pozarevac, southeast of Semendria, and claim their cam paler, is proceeding according to their plans The Quadruple Entente allies are perfecting their preparations to assist the Serbians and every day sms additional troops landed at Sa loniki. where the French General Sar rai! ha-- arrived to take command of the allied forces. What steps Russia and Italy have taker, to render assistance have not yet developed. The political situation remains un changed. Greece having formally an nounced she would not intervene in be half of Serbia "at present,” and Ruma nia, although she is being urged by Ger many definitely to denne her position, tot having made any move. Along the western front there has been heavy fighting in the Artois, Champagne and Vosges regions. Attacks were made by both sides, but the gains and losses are described as being of little import ance. In the east the Russians have turned to the offensive i* the region of Dvlnsk and although the Germans claim that they have repulsed most of the Musco rite attacks, they admit that the Rus ear.s perforated their line at one point. Except for the hostilities in this region things are somewhat calmer in the east, Lieut. Gen. Ivanoff, the Russian com mander. after his victory \n Galicia and the subsequent check by the Germans having for the moment shown himself •atisfied with what he achieved. The Italians again have been on the •tensive and claim to have gained some •accesses against the Austrians. The Auitriar.s. however, deny this state- mtnt.

Plans are already underway for the semi-public meeting and banquet at this time the initial step towards es tablishing the proposed aefial patrol t>ase at Flag island will be made «by the distinguished guests. Rear Admi ral Peary and the special committee recently appointed by President George L. Crossman of the Portland Chamber of Commerce. It is believed that the establishment of the aeroplane base here will un doubtedly l>e fallowed by provisions for a submarine base with the sup ply station and other army and navy and equipment depot. AVhile Blackstrap has been consider ed as a probable site for the propos ed aerial patrol station Upper Flag is land which Rear Admiral Peary has offered has already been recommended as the most desirable site by Mr. ■Wood as a melnber of the Naval Ad visory Board. However, every detail of the proposed station or base will be considered at the meeting to be held here within two weeks. Mr. Wood and Mr. Hammond are rec ognized as two of the greates authori ties in America. Mr. Wood is an inven tor, author, editor of a leading aeronau tical magazine, a member of the Aero Club of America and was recently ap pointed as a member of Secretary Dan iels' Naval Advisory Board. John Hays Hammond. Jr., is the in ventor of a type of torpedo for coast defense, controlled by wireless energy from coast fortifications; assisted in de- I velopment of system by the the United States War Department; has applied for more than 100 patents covering the sys tem in the United States and foreign countries. While he is less than 30 years of age Mr. Hammond is recog nied as the greatest radio expert in this country, next to Thomas A. Edison. That Mr. Wood is deeply interested in the proposed plan for the establish ment of the aeroplane base In Casco Bay is evident from the fact that with- in a month he visited Rear-Admiral Peary at Eagle Island and made a thor ough investigation of Upper Flag Isl and. Following the investigation and survey of the property he recommended that this island as the most suitable aite for the Maine division of the Aerial Coast Patrol.

Little, retired, on "charges involving neglect and careless methods in the conduct of his duties while inspector of machinery at the Fore River Ship building Co. jQuincy, Mass., in con* nection with the construction of* the submarine U. S. S. K-2.” The Members of Court The court will nqeet at the, Boston navy yard Oct. 18, and will be com posed of Rear Admirals Flske, Holme, Parks, Worthington, Gleaves and Dinn, and Paymaster-General Cowie, with Lieut.-Commander W. John ston as judge advocate. Bigtrificanes ef Action "The action of the department in tbie case says the statement issued by Secretary Daniels, “on nrdcrtug trial by general courtmartial of an of ficer who has been retired after at taining the highest naval rank oa charges relating to duties performed prior to retirement, is somewhat rad ical and arrests attention. It can be accounted for only as an evidence of the department’s determination that the inspection of ships under construc tion for the navy shall be conducted with the greatest care and thorough ness.” Trouble With Batteries Since the K-2 was accepted troubles j with her storage batteries have de-1 veloped. Navy officials said today de-: fective installation rather than design had caused short-circuiting. The boat was contracted for by the Electric Boat Co. and constructed by tfce Fore River plant. “The source of trouble in vessels of this class,” the secretary’s statement' continues, “has been the subject of close investigation by the navy de partment. As a result of this investi gation. the department has been led to' believe that the inspection of the K-2; while building at the Fore River j Shipbuilding Co., was not conducted with sufficient care and thoroughness and accordingly has ordered Admiral Little, who was responsible for in spection of this vessel, to be tried by courtmartial.” Mr. Daniels said he had received a letter from Admiral Little saying he had been assured by the builders that j any fault with the batteries of the K-2 which developed after her accept-! ance would be rectified by the com- I pany at its own expense and had ree-_ ommended her acceptance on that ba sis.

Secretary Garrison’s plan, approved by the President, calls for an increase' of $75,000,000 in the War department’s annual appropriation to be used for augmenting the regular army to 140,000 men and the creation of a new continental army of 400, 000 men, which, together with the militia of 125,000, would give the United States a military force in time of need of 685,00. Approval also was given toc^ajr to the proposal of Secretary Daniels and the general board of the navy for a five-^ear naval construction program to cost $500,000,000, giving the navy 10 new Dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers as well as mqre than 70 submarines, 50 destroyers, 10 scout cruisers and a host of auxiliary ships. After the Conference of Secretary Daniels, Assistant Secre tary Roosevelt and the general b oard, the following naval con struction program for the first of the five years was decided upon: Two Dreadnoughts, two battle cruisers, 25 coast sub marines, five sea-going submarines, 12 destroyers, an increase of 8000 in personnel, and an augmentation by 250 of the naval academy student body. Coinference Next Week of the Pan-American Diplomats to Arrange Carranza Recognition McAdoo for a Big Navy and More Would Have Also $40,000,000 Merchant Marine to Be Im mediately Available Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 15.—A plea far a nary which would make the United States able to face any other world power, and for a >40,000,000 j merchant marine to be used as an available auxiliary in case of war was made by William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, in an address before the Kansas City Commercial Club to day. "Mechanical and military develop ments of the past few years have de stroyed our natural barrier of 3000 miles of ocean.” said the secretary. "It is not for aggression that we must have an adequate navy, but to take the place of this former barrier and to be able to say to the world that we are prepared to uphold the honor and majesty of this great republic. “Fighting -equipment alone, though it be of the beat that the resources and brains of the country can pre pare, will not aecpmplish this pur pose. A navy can be ho better than its auxiliary.” Administration* Plans The plan of the administration, Mr. McAdoo said, is to appropriate 40 or pospiMy SO million dollars to be put info* merchant ..marine to be used in extending the commerce of the nation in tfttWB of pease, but so constructed, equipped and manned as to become immediately the necessary naval aux iliary.

Secretary Garrieon’s Plana Secretary Garrison has carefully guarded his plan for strengthening the military establishment and organizing a great continental army for defence, end, almost nothing was known of it until tonight. Adequate supplies of small arms and field guns and howit zers and of reserve ammunition for the enlarged establishment would be sought. The plan is erected on the theory that the nation must depend upon a citizen army, largely of a volunteer character, in time of war. There are hundreds of thousands of young men, it is said, who have both the time and inclination to devote at least two months a year to rigid and intensive military training, and the continental army would be composed' of the^e, leaving to the National Guard those citizens whose responsibilities prevent their devoting more than one night a week or so to military service. With six months’ actual field training, army officers are confident that the conti nental army would be as thoroughly (Continued on Pago 11—Column 7) Children’s Laxative Syrup To aid in the assimilation of food regulate the stomach and bow els, promote digestion, correct constipation, sour stomach and diarrhea, reduce feverishness and prevent lose of sleep.

Secret Service In vestigating Activities of Alleged German and Austrian Agents Operating in This Country AVER SKETCHES CARRIED ABROAD Ineffectual Attempts to Capture Two Messen gers— American Ac tion Follows Indict ment of Max Lynar for Bigamy 1 New York, Oct 15.—With the Indict ment today of Max Lynar. also known as Count Max Lynar Loudon, on a charge of bigamy United States secret service agents began an investigation of the recent alleged activities of a man who, under the name of Lynar is said to have done confidential work in this country last June and July on behalf of the German and Austrian governments. N. Y. Harbor Plans Their investigation embraced a re port that detailed plans and sketches of certain fortifications around New York harbor had been sent to Berlin by two secret messengers aboard a steamship which sailed from this port for Rotterdam during July. This steamship was searched at Falmouth, England, it was reported, for the mes sengers whose presence aboard had been cabled to the British admiralty, but they were not found. The ship then proceeded to Rotter dam, it was said, where she was again searched by the British consul there. The messengers were reported to have eluded the British consul and to have landed in Rotterdam with the plans of the forts in their possession and to have proceeded thence to the German capital. The name of one of the alleged mes sengers, the steamer upon which they are said to have made the trip, the date of its departure from New York and arrival at* Rotterdam were in the possession Of the secret service. The investigation was conducted with a view to determining just what plans, if any, were carried to Berlin by the alleged messengers and through what agencies they were obtained. Max Lynar Loudon's application for an American passport was made, it was said, after the departure of this vessel from New York. The man known as Lynar remained in New York after the alleged messengers sailed secretly from this port. It is not known whether Max Lynar Loudon and the man known as Lynar were relatives, nor is there anything to connect them further than the sim ilarity in their names. When Fuller, Lynar’s chauffeur, was arrested his employer wrote a letter to the district attorney protesting the arrest. This letter found today in the district attorney’s! files was signed Rocher M. zu Lynar. The signatuie suggested the name of Count Rochus zu Pnar, a resident of Berlin and well-known in diplo matic circles. Count Rochus zu Linar is said to be about 60 years old. The prisoner is 45.

As a result of this success most every druggist goes a step further -and cells Mi-o-na cn a positive guarantee that un less it helps the purchased he can .have his money back. That may seem rash, but customers have said so many good words in Mi-o-na’s favor that very few packages are likely to be returned. Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose food does not digest well, and who has to take thought as to what he can eat, and when, can leave SO cents deposit at any drug store and take home a box of Mi-o na and if the remedy does not regulate his digestion and help his dyspepsia he can withdraw his money. This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-o-na.

They were cleanly and physically in as good condition as the injuries they had re ceived in battle permitted. That is to say they were well nourished. Where their own clothing was deficient or worn out they had received fresh clothing including a warm overcoat, a cap and often boots. "I saw these men sent away across the border the same evening and the arrangements for removing them by wagons, stretchers arid boat furnished with necessary conveniences and pro tected from the weather left nothing to be desired on the score of humanity. I also crossed into Haparanda and in spected the arrangements of the Swed ish Red Cross under Dr. Nauchkoff, who spoke very highly of the com pleteness and humanity of the treat ment of the injured prisoners of war by tl}e Russian authorities. It was very clear that the Swedish authori ties did not hold the same favorable opinion of the treatment of Russian prisoners by the Germans, and I was informed at Haparanda that they were sent out of Germany in a painfully dirty and neglected" condition, often half naked and half starved. “I had the opportunity of verifying these reports the next morning, when about 250 Russian prisoners arrived from Germany. Several of the men were wearing the same cotton cloth ing given out to them in the hospital, with worn-out list slippers on their feet and no socks, and they had trav eled in this condition from Koenigs berg in Germany, through Sweden and into Russian territory 'at Torneo. Many of the men were Mke scare crows so ragged and flfthy was their condition, and one was elothed in "the uniform of a dead French prisoner of war. They were thin and weak and said that they had been half starved during the imprisonment. They pro duced samples of the bread that was given them, it being extremely hard and mouldy and mixed with potatoes and even particles of straw. They said little or no meat was given them in the thin soup served out to them daily. In addition they had been sub jected to severe punishment for al leged breaches of discipline despite their maimed and -disabled condition, the punishment including their being compelled to stand on barrels for hours at a time, or being tied to posts with their arms above their heads. They" were also frequently struck by their German guards with the butts of their rifles or the flat of thglr swords. “One of the worst features of the condition of the returned Russian prisoners was the number of cases of tuberculosis. These numbered some sixty out of the 260 men returned and I was told that the usual number was about 20 per cent. The cases of tuberculosis among .German a*>d Aus trian prisoners, on the other hand, were only live, to six per cent, out of the total of 1260 already exchanged. Some of the returned Russian prison ers had lost their feet while In prison in Germany, from frost-bites due. tb exposure.

W. SOULE Emporium, THE REASONS WHY BRITON NEEDS 4,000,000 MEN (London Observer) First, as to fighting men. Let us clear our minds on some points o# military organization at home. We need at least 4,000,000 men. That fig ure is now almost universally accept ed, though The Observer was far the first, so far as we are aware, to make that estimate. Certain considerations prevent us from showing fully on what calculations that reckoning is based. Some broad reasons are obvious enough. It is now known that recent ly we have very largely extended the length of f) ont we were holding in France. During the coming months we must extend the British-manned trenches again, until from the sea to a point deep in the northern depart ments 'of France we hold a hundred miles of line. That this, in view of the ultimate necessities of an Allied offensive, ought to mean at last a mil lion and a quarter of British troops on the Western line, with as many in re serve behind them at home, is what any soldier can calculate. As for the Dardanelles, it is a matter of life and death for the whole future of the British Empire in the East to do our. work in the Ottoman Empire thoroughly, whether by the present Gallipoli expedition alone or by col lateral ‘operations. We have always been in favo^, as our readers are aware, of the collateral opertions. If the natfons were wise it would fasten with might and main upon the problem of capturing Constantinople and opening the Black Sea. We began on Gallipoli with military numbers far below the requirements of that grim task. For ensuring the proper result of the war by attacking the Central Empires through the Balkans, on what we have ventured to call the Middle Front, in conjunction with some of our present and future allies, we ought to have aa much as half a million British troops in the East, with again as many in re serve behind them at hdme. It sounds a very big effort, but nothing less than efforts of quite unusual bigness will biing Germany and her partners to the ground, no matter how long the war lasts. Apart from that, it is thought necessary by most authorities DO IMS fIRST-YOU! You know, ayd every physician knows, that when any sickness has passed, whether it be throat trouble, organic disturbances, contagious dis eases, or even a severe cold, a felapse i$ feared, because sickness robs the system of Nature’s resistance and leaves it subject to lingering germs. Drugs never build up a worn-out body—only food can do that, and the first thing to take after any sickness is the concentrated, Jood-making oil food in Scott’s Emulsion, which feeds the tissues, benefits the blood' and strengthens both lungs and throat Physicians prescribe Scott’s Emul sion after sickness. Nurseseverywhere advocate it. Scott’s is pure medicinal food, without alcohol or drugs. Scott Bowse. Bloomfield, N. J. u-aa r-i-i to keep in* this country over half a million men exclusively for home de fence. Theke are the broad reasons for our assertion that we need at least 4,000, 000 Jtnen in Khaki. It is understood that Lord Kitchener, ty an immense achievement, has obtained some three quarters of that number or more by voluntary service. A definite, state ment on that point would have a pro found effect at home and abroad. It would strengthen Lord Kitchener’s personal position, as well as that of the Government and the country, to an extent far outweighing, in our view, any object that can be gained by a continuance of a secrecy which does not deceive the enemy in the least, but only spreads doubt, dissen sion and depression amongst our selves whilst perplexing our Allies. On what system, voluntary or obligatory, ere we to raise the rest of the men we require? That is a question which still needs to be very carefully handled, and We deal with it specially else where. Here we need only emphasize two considerations. f Lord Kitchener has not the least intention of being remembered as the man who, by slowness and inade quacy, lost the greatest of wars. We may be certain that he means to get by hook or by crook the rest of the men he requires, and that he .will shrink from nothing to obtain them as they are needed. We have to remem ber what is the actual situation and to distinguish between prime and secon dary necessities. Wars are won by the numbers of equipped men in the field, not by numbers, however large, 01 unequipped or half-equipped* men in training. It 'is of cardinal importance to awaken the whole country to the extent of the effort required—to schedule, enroll and form as soon as possible every man of the 4,000,000 ultimately required for the purposes w-e have sketched. But it is of an im mediate importance far greater still to equip fully and to put into the actual fighting lines, West and East, another half-million of the men we' already have. Both purposes, fuller enrollnent and fuller mobilization for the War abroad, are vi^al, but the second must obviously taka precedence. Mica in New, Hampshire.

A.*Letourneau has re ceived from the office of the sea and shore fisheries of the State, license blanks which must be filled in and sworn to by all persons dealing in lobsters, including stores, restaurants and in fact everyone who handles a lobster except those who buy them for use at the family table. The forms are at the clerk's office and and it will be necessary for everyone dealing in the lobster to call there and get them and get them filled out as quickly as pos sible, as there is a heavy fine for fail ing to do so. The closing of Main street from North to College avenue, has resulted in the cwlnging of all the heavy traffic com ing from the station, all the coal teams going down town and the teams hauling rock from the crusher to the work down street, through Getchell street, and this Rnort street is the busiest one in the city. Incidentally it is going to pieces very fast under the heavy laden wag rns and the horses -hoofs. The street was built up earlier in the year of grav el and has been one of the finest streets In the city but it is not going to stand the heavy teaming for a great while and unless some way can be devised to swing the teams now using it to some other street if will quickly share the fate of North street which has gone to pieces under the heavy laden coal teams.

The success of the first day and the reports of the fine exhibition causing many people tc take a chance on the weather and go. The Colby-Norwich University foot ball game for next Saturday is attract ing a great deal of attention. The rec ord of the Norwich team this year proves that it is going to be an ex ceedingly hard opponent and one that will try the Colby team to the utter most. Although the practice this week has been behind closed gates it is rumored ^ibout the streets that the coach has uncovered a couple of phe nems from the Freshman class and that they will be seen in action Satur day. Both of these men are said to be about the fastest in their respective positions of any men that have ever been in a Colby suit, and if the ru-, mor proves true, their work will be watched with a great deal of interest. Nearly. all the players who were on the hospital list will be able to get into the game Saturday and it is expected that the coach will use a large number of men as it will be the last chance before the Bowdoin game to get a lino on the men while they are under fire. Manager Hussey is looking forward to a iarge, attendance, if the weather is favorable, as this and the Saturday following are the only times local fans will have a chance to see the team in Waterville. The game will be started at 2 o'clock so as to have plenty of time to finish it before it begins to get dark. The work of the Hassam Paving Co. is being somewhat hampered by the failure to secure sufficient men. The work is extremely vhard and although the pay is good for laborers, the men about the city who are always looking for a Job do not seem to want to tackle it. The hoboes who are being put in at the police station nights, fight as shy of it as though it was the pleague. In spite of the lack of men the work is progressing finely and it Is expected that they will be able to put the cement onto Silver street Sat urday. The city crews are having a hard time to keep sufficient rock ahead to keep even the crew they have going, the farmers who have been hauling in rock to the crusher suddenly quitting and turning to their fall plowing. Oth er teams have been secured and there wil be no trouble about turning out the rock for the whole job. At the Congregational church, Rev. Charles F. Robinson will preach from Matt, xxii: 35-40. “What is it to be a Christian?’’ Two musical features of the church life are Increasingly at tractive this fall; the vested choir, which is doing splendid work under the leadership of Miss Marion Dag gett; and the Sunday school orchestra, directed by Miss Ethel McEwen. which bids fair to be decidedly improved over last year, with the'experience of last year's players helped by new re cruits. The constant growth of the Sunday school is giving the manage ment some very serious problems of room to accommodate the classes, em phasizing the necessity that confronts the church to remodel its property to meet pressing needs. For the present, relief will be gained byj sending one class to the parsonage for its study period. A sincere and cordial welcome is found here for all who wish the privileges of the church. Choosing Hor Boy Friends Dr. Phelps at the Baptist church Sunday night, will speak on the topic “Choosing Her Boy Friends," being the third of a series of Sunday night addresses on “The Young Girl of To day.” Is there such a thing as boy and girl friendships? How will she es cape the snares of companionship? Mr. Lattin will play “Regrets” (Vleux Temps) on the violin; Mr. Lord will sing "Almost Persuaded” with violin accompaniment; there will be chorus and stringed orchestra. At the morn ing service, Dr. Phelps will give the second of a series of addresses on “The Greatest Program Ever Undertaken by Baptiste," from the topic, "5000 Mis sionaries.” Young men and women who have dedicated their lives to mis sionary service will occupy seats with him on the platform, and take part in the service. Miss Pooler and Mr. D>rd will sing the duet by Nejdn. "My Faith Looks Up to Thee”: the response will l?e a contralto solo by Miss Fates, Stevenson's "I Sought the Lord,” solo and cornet.

They found a woman who had been thrown out of the house j when they arrived. There had evi- dently been somewhat of a rough house as the woman’s clothes were badly torn, but she had been drinking to an extent that made it seem advisable to take her to the station for the remain der of the night.

Augusta. Maine. Saturday, October 16, 1915. If a man tries, he may get results in reforming himself; but reforming the world is a big job and requires not only a lifetime bu an age.—E. W. Howe. t “America First!" Newspapers friendly to the Presi dent, and Washington correspondents generally, interpret Mr. Wilson’s speech at the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution silver anniversary as a sounding of what he hopes to make his campaign slogan for next year. The questionable taste of using such an occasion for such a purpose need not be debated at present. Nor will many people question the winning quality of the battle-cry which the President would raise. "America First” sounds well. But, are Wilson and. the Democratic fcp party entitled to purloin it? Did Mr. Wilson think of “America First” when he drove the Fnderwood tariff through Congress and trans ferred the domination of American markets to foreign facturers? Did he think of "America First” w hen he strove so mightily to pass the ship-purchase bill, which would have menaced us with war and which would have made it impossible for American private enterprise to put our flag upon the seas? Did he think of "America First” when he signed the Seamen’s law, the effect of which has been to drive American ships from the Pacific car rying trade and to deliver the trans portation monopoly on that ocean to Japan? Did he think of "America First,'* when he closed his ears to the appeals of our fellow cltrizens in Mexico—men and women, merchants and mission aries, whose property was destroyed, whose virtue was outraged, and whose lives were taken by the bandits whom a Bryanlzed State Department encour aged and fostered? Did he think of "America First'* when he stuffed the diplomatic service with "deserving Democrats’’ whose antics have put us to shame and some of whom had to be recalled, while oth ers by their ineptitude and ignorance seriously weakened that portion of our governmental agencies which has been aptly termed "the first line of de fense?” Did he think of "America First'* when he told Congress that the coun try "had been misinformed’’ and that the question of national defense "had not been neglected?’’ Did he think of "America First'* when he declared that this country was "too proud to fight,” and thus ex* posed the crews of our war ships to in sult and attacks in a foreign port? Did he think of “America First” when he permitted months to drag away without uttering a single effec tive word In defense of our undoubted rights as neutral shippers on the high seas while the British prize courts be came clogged with American claims for ships and cargoes unlawfully seized and held? When, in short, did he ver think of "America first” If such a thought con flicted with his own preconceived no tions or seemed likely to impede in any way the course of politics or ad ministration which he had worked out in his own mind before he ever came to the White House and from which he has never deviated except as an aroused public sentiment, bearing the threat of political reverse, has com pelled him to do so? “America First’’ indeed! Merely for the purpose of tantalising ourselves at our inability to get away from the job for a day, let us discuss the Bangor reports of unusually large game receipts.—Manchester Union. If it adds anything to your satisfac tion in being tantalized, we gladly in form you that the finest deer in the world are grown far up the Kennebec valley, and we are eating choice veni son that never has been within 50 miles of the “Bangor plan.” 8peaking of the New Hampshire state Sunday school convention in session this week at Keene, we have in mind a num ber of editorial paragrapuers in Houston, Montgomery, Boston, Springfield, Allen town, Altoona, Jacksonville, Brockton, Btddeford, Augusta, Montpslier, St. Al bans and other towns whom we should like to see brought under that beneficent Influence.—Manchester Union. Does your “beneficent influence” need uplifting? t Get into It, Ityii If you are a true ecu of Maine, a boy of the farm, a bey with red blood In your veins and a desire to be at the top when the country learn* that every luxury, comfort, necessity, the very nation's existence, depends upon' the hands that till the soil—if you are that kind of a boy, you will do well to yet in touch with the State Leader of Boys’ Agricultural Jblubs, Orono. Maine. Tou will do better to keep in touch with him and with other pro moters of scientific agriculture. Ton will do best to become expert in vari ous means of “tickling the soil” and the branches that naturally go with it. This is to the boys of the farms. We hope many of them will see it. We hope parents will try to interest their sons in boys’ agricultural dubs. A letter just sent out from Orono con cerning the Maine Boys’ Sweet Corn Clubs, says: The boys interested in growing sweet corn for 1916 should prepare their one quarter acre plot this fall. The plot should be located on an ele vation to afford good air drainage, thereby preventing late and early frosts. The soil should be well drained, pre feralgy sandy loam having a good sub toll that does not allow too much leaching. Barnyard manure should be applied at the rate of 3 to 5 spread er or dump cart loads to the plot and plowed under to a depth of 6 or 8 inches according to the depth of the surface soil. Do not plow more than one-half inch deeper than the land was plowed before. If there Is danger of washing, fur rows should be plowed from a point in the middle of, and eight or ten feet above the upper end and extend down to and along the sides of the plat. These furrows should be turned ip towards the plot. Washing to any de gree will be prevented by this means. Fall plowed land will absorb more moisture and will be in a better con dition for corn than land plowed in the spring. Manure applied in the fall and plowed in has a chance to de compose. making the plant food avail able to the crop. Manure applied in the spring is likely not to decompose very rapidly and the corn crop would suffer from lack of available plant food. It should always be borne in mind that land well prepared is half hoed, that, a little extra time spent in plow ing may mean a successful crop. If the instructions are not clear, please write immediately to the State Leader of Boys’ Agricultural Clubs, Orono, Maine. Watch the paper for further an nouncements regarding sweet corn clubs. A letter from the United States De partment of Agriculture says there has been an increase of more than 41,000 in the membership of various boys’ and girls’ agricultural clubs conducted by the State Agricultural Colleges and the Department of Agriculture in the northern and western states. At the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914. there were 110,077 mem bers In the various club projects In the 33 states covered by this work. At the close of the present fiscal year, June 30, 1915, the membership was 151,194, exclusive of the enrollment In the mother-daughter canning clubs. This work is being carried on co operatively in 26 of the 33 states in the northern, central, and western ter ritory by the Department of Agricul ture and the extension departments of the State colleges of agriculture. -In practically every state short courses for boys and girls and special demon stration schools have been held at the colleges and in the field. During the past year 1557 club members attended the mid-winter courses at the colleges, 968 of these having their expenses paid by local contributions as a recog nition of their achievements in club work. Of the 38 clubs members who, as champions in their states, districts, or counties for 1914, have become recognized as National All-Star Club members, 31 are now attending high schools, agricultural, or other colleges, three of the remaining seven have al ready graduated from high school, and one will go to an agricultural college this fall. Experience has shown that the work In the boys* and girls*' clubs can be carried on with even greater success without the aid of large cash prizes and awards. The net profits from the work itself have been found to be the best possible incentive. The'members have their attention directed to problems of farm and home manage ment, crop rotation, soil building, etc., and in practically every state in whieh the work is being carried on a large number of club members are now working out three and four-year rota tions of crops. The profits which they derive from club work they ere spend ing on getting an education, or for purchase of pure bred stock and labor saving machinery. Many are even buying land and thus acquiring an in valuable sense of dignity and inde pendence. In the canning work, 938 public demonstrations were held during the year, with a total attendance of 118, 367. These demonstrations were held primarily for the club members, but parents were always invited and. as a matter of fact, more than half of those present were grown men and women. One of the great advantages of this club work, indeed, is the fact that it serves to stimulate the parents as well as the children.

Fur salesmen have been traveling throughout the State taking advantage of the ignorance of the people of the real value of furs, says Maine Woods. A LewiBton fur dealer says; We have had many inquiries as to the value of furs bought, coming from outside towns. In some instances these sales men offered to allow the prospective customers to send the merchandise to us for valuation, relying on the fact that this offer (on account of distance out of the question would win the cus tomers, and In some instances it proved successful. These fur salesmen offer wonder ful “bargains.” it is said, leading their customers to believe they are buying choice pieces of fur, at low prices when in reality they are pay ing twice the value of cheap imita tions. It is said that several of these fur salesmen have been working in New England since the opening of the fur season and have shown coats, muff8 and scarfs, at prices which they claimed were less than half the regular retail prices for the same arti cles. They have specialized in im itation lynx and Far Eastern mink furs and have sold at prices far be low the wholesale prices for the gen une articles in this line. The Far Eastern mink, so-called, is said to be a Japanese mink, one of the cheap est kinds of mink, while in some in stances the imitation lynx is a practi cally worthless dyed fur. Prices on these articles have been quoted at about double their real value, but way below the value of genuine. Harry H. Kocne, wno nas Deen acx ing as United States weather observer at Eastport since the death of D. C. Murphy, has received instructions that W. D. Fuller of Los Angeles has been ordered to Eastport as permanent ob server and that he will probably ar rive and take the station the latter part of the month, when Mr. Roche will return to Portland and resume his duties there. The impression that Buffalo nickels would some day command a fat premium has led one Rockland man to lay by $28 worth. The practice is commended even if the premiums never materialize, remarks the Courier-Gazette. Twenty-five years ago, or about that length of time, the G. A. R. men of Dennysvllle started to raise money to erect a soldiers' monument in that place. As the members of the Post were residents of three towns, Den nysville, Edmunds and Marion, the monument yas to be in memory of the men who went to the Civil war from those towns, as each sent a very large number of men in proportion ttf its population. Quite a sum of money was raised, but not enough for the re quired purpose, and for many years nothing was done, but within the last few years several attempts have been made to do something about it, and now the erection of the monument seems to be an assured fact. O. S. Tarbox of Red Beach has the contract for mak ing it, while the town is to provide the foundation which is already being built. It is to stand on the so-called "Vestry lot,” which is a public place, and where it will be seen by every one who passes through the village. It is on quite high ground overlooking the river. The church, which owns the land but cannot sell it, has leased it to the Monument Association for an ex tended period of time. Almost every one is pleased with the location and glad, that after so many years, they are to have the monument while a few of the veterans are alive to see it Steps were-taken Thursday, Oct 12 at the meeting of the Bar Harbor Cadet Corps for the formation of a f military company which is to become affiliated with the NationalGuard, and the preliminary arrangements were made, a petition to in circulation around Bar Harbor which will request the state department to form a com pany of militia locally, and it to hoped to secure some 50 or more names be j fore the next meeting, on Oct. 14. The state department will be asked to send !an officer who will act as captain and drill the members of the corps, which It is planned to put on a first-class footing. The interest shown at the meeting Thursday was excellent. Of ficers of the company were chosen as I follows: First lieutenant. Dr. John T. Hinch; second lieutenant, H. Russell Emery; medical officer, Dr. Ralph W. Wakefield; chaplain, Rev. A. C. Lamed. A long delayed meeting, the delay extending through fifty years, was happily recorded at Damariscotta Wednesday. Oct. 13. when Comrade j William McLean and Mrs. McLean I went from Appleton to Damariscotta and visited Comrade and Mrs. D. M. Hilton. Not since the evil days of the War of the Rebellion had the comrades met until that day. The English name of the Friendship Finn, who was killed in the automobile accident there a short time ago was Lamb, not Lamby. "I ought to know,” said Frank B. Miller, Rockland, to the Courier-Gazette, "for I named him.” In explanation of this curious state ment Mr. Miller1 says that the Finn came to his office a few years ago to have some legal wprk done. Mr. Miller was unable to understand the name given by his client, and asked the latter to write it. The first name was unmistakably Yohn, and Mr. Mil ler had no trouble translatlhg that into John. The second name looked as much like Lamb as anything, and the Finn appeared to be well pleased with it. -So John Lamb he was for the re mainder of his days. ‘‘Rev. J. T. Crosby of Auburn is making a reputation as a farmer. Last spring he planted four potatoes and recently harvested a half bushel of fine tubers as the product. He was recently offered the position of chap lain at the Togus Home but declined to accept. For this his many friends in these cities are much pleased.”— Lewiston Journal.

"Because fur earmuffs cost money in these war days,”- ventured Judkins. "They wouldn’t probably, if they knew constant covering up the ears tends to deafness, besides being unsanitary,” said the doctor. "The ears require air as well as the face.” “Pshaw!” returned Jenkins, “they cover their ears because they don’t wish to hear all the pretty things said about them.” "Jenkins, you don't know a thing about human nature, as exemplified in the pret ty girl,” retorted the doctor.

Me., Oct. 15.—(Special).— The establishment of two well-located sanatoriums in the State, wfiicli are State property and which are urfder State supervision has been made re cently. The Central Maine Sanatorium at Fairfield. Atwood's Mountain, and the estern Maine Sanatorium at He bron, Greenwood Mountain, are the two State institutions which are be ing conducted for the relief and cen trol of tuberculosis, under the direction j of and support of the State. Only re ic-ently have the well-made plans of

the various boards in charge of the y two organizations been brought about, i This was made possible by the taking over by the State of the two sanato riums which are both well located and I j excellently adapted for such purposes. _ The Locations The Sanatorium at Fairfield is lo cated on Atwood's Mountain, fully 300 feet above the sea level, a most ideal spot for such an institution in Somer set county. A loi>g winding road leads up over the mountain from the main road to the buildings. The Sarfatorium at Hebron was erected in 1901, in the foot hills of the White Mountains, in a very beautiful 1 spot in Oxford county, on Greenwood Mountain. To reach the Hebron San atorium the nearest station is West Minot, which is about two miles away, and the journey from the station to the Sanatorium is made over a steep hill. Care for More Than 100 With a capacity for fully 30 patients at the Central Maine Sanatorium and between 70 and SO patients at the Western Maine Sanatorium along .with a steadily increasing capacity caused by improvements the work of the control of tuberculosis in the State is slowly coming to the efficient and systematic condition which compares j favorably with any like institutions in I the country. I The Fairfield Sanatorium The complete buildings of the Fair I held Sanatorium cost about $33,000. The construction is new to this State i 'n many ways, and is considered by those who know to be the most admir ably adapted of any to the needs of an institution of this kind. The location of the new sanatorium is ideal, it being on elevated land 'about a mile out of the town of Fair Held, overlooking the Kennebec river. It was erected to replace the former j building burned in 1913. •>U All around the building are open piazzas, and -.'extending around- the building 'again'- inside of these are a series of closbVl piazzas. by which ar rangement patents may take the open air in any kindi of weather, in the ‘central section the first room entered front the front door Is the reception room, and back of this is the office of ithe resident physician. To the left, looming in. is also a small dining room and kitchenette. Back of the nbvsi i cian’s office are lockers on one sid< for the men and one the other side for women, and then come the toilets. 1 There is a series of shower baths and throughout the whole special sanitary plumbing of the highest type is being employed. Back of the shower baths is the infirmary, flanked on one side by the nurses’ room. A large separate dining room is maintained for the use of patients, and an artesian well on the premises supplies water to a stor age tank in^tho basement of the main building. Hebron Sanatorium The Sanatorium is situated in the foot hills of the White Mountains in a very beautiful spot in Oxford county, on Greenwood Mountain. Oxford coun- i ty has long been known and has be- I come famous for the dryness of its at- mosphere, the absence of fogs, and the large amount of sunshine compared to many other portions of New Kngland. It lies to the southeast of the -White Mountains ia such situation tlia.t the storms which come down from the Great'Lakes and the St. Lawrence basin pass to the north of the mountain and the storms coming up the Atlantic coast pass to the south, thus giving this re gion freedom from many of the storms to which it would otherwise be subject ed. The Dairy There i.; a stable for cows where a large herd of Jerseys and Hoist- ins arc kept for the production of cream and milk for the patients. A large silo which opens into this stable has a ca pacity of fifteen acres of ensilage corn. The stable accommodates ton horses and ti c storage barn for hay will take care of i:,n ten--. Ti e barn is thorough ly lighted by electric lights and sup plied with running water. This is one of the best barns in the State and is a very essential part of the Sanatorium. The creamery is thoroughly equipped with apparatus necessary for the pr p •r er handling of. milk and cream. Tc.e fnilk is Pasteurized. In connection with tic Sanatorium are 320 acres of land. Ti e .buildings of the Sanatorium con sist of t!it- administration building, a barn, the farm cottage, the creamery, a power house and the two cottage) for tite women and men. New Application Blanks The new application blanks which are sent out by the State association to I prospective patients are in themselves minature text books on the disease and arc of a. very interesting nature. On the front page of the blank are a list of questions to lie answered by the patient, underneath of which is a chart cf the lungs with signs to be used to tienotf symptoms of the disease.

CAPE ROZIER FAMILY LEFT HOMELESS FRIDAY AFTER FIRE IN NIGHT Cape Hazier, Me, Oct 15.—Saving j their five head of cattle, a couple of barrels of flour and a few clothes they were able to put on hurriedly, Mr, and Mrs. Percy Clifford, well-known resi dents of Cape Rosier, who have con ducted a general farm and store here for many years, Thursday found them selves homeless, their store, shed, grain house and stable with practical ly all their contents being destroyed by fire early in the morning. The buildings were valued at $7000 and there is an insurance of about $2800 through an Ellsworth agency. The Clifford place U located on the Cape road near the postofflce which is about half way between Harboreide and Weir cove. The fire illominated tbe sky for rpiles around and Attracted many neighbors wgkoae assistance, however, was unavailing as the fire burned so quickly that nothing but a gteam fire engine could have confined the fire to the store. Mr. and Mra. Clifford are now stay ing with the latter’s mother. Mrs. Frank Sawyer, who lives about a half mile from their home. Clay Product* Valued at 1164,986,983 In 1914. In a report on the clay-working indus tries of the United States in 1914 by Jef ferson Middleton, issued by the United States Geological Susvey, the value of the clay products of -this country in 1914 are given as *164.986,983—brick and til# *129,588,822 and pottery *35,398,161. This was a considerable decrease compared with 1913, but as compared with the value for the last 30 years it shows a great growth in the industries. Com pared with 1908 there was an increase of *31,789,221. In only four years—1909, 1910, 1912 and 1913—has the total value of clay products exceeded that of 1914. Consid ered by the average for five-year periods Which is perhaps the fairest comparison, ae unusual conditione may occur in a sin gle year, the average annual value of the clay products of the United States was: 1895-1899, *72.233,066; 1900-19M, *118,135,8*6 1905-1909, *153,838,231; and 1910-1914, *170,287, 909. It will be seen that the value of the clay products of the country has consid erably more than doubled in the last *9 years. With the revival of business, which is clearly Indicated, the great clay working industries, with the inherent superiority of their products for many uses, are bound to come into their own. the halt of 1914 being but a temporary setback which will be more than over come in the near future. The wide pub licity given to the brick industries by the “build with brick" and “pave with brick” movements started in 1914 can not but prove of inestimable benefit In the exten sion of the use of brick. Clay products are made in every Stats. Of the Territories, Alaska and Hawaii re ported none. The value of clay products ranged in 1914 from *6974 in- Porto Rloo to *37,166,768 to Ohio. Obio reported over one-fifth of the value of clay products in 1914 andrba* beep the leading State since figures on this subject were first compiled by the Geological Survey to 1894. It is likely to maintain this posi tion, as its output has always greatly exceeded that of the second State,'Penn sylvania, and in 1914 this excess was M5, 81*.771 or over 70 per cent. Pennsylva nia's output in 1*14 was vatoad at 846,996, or over one-eighth of the total for the United States. Now Jersey ranked third to 1914, with psoduots valued at 484,652. Illinois was fourth, with products valued at *13,318,953, and New York was fifth, with products valued at *9,078.S>|. Indiana was sixth; Iowa was seventh, eyehewging places with Missouri, which was eighth; West Virginia was ninth. places with Cnllfscni* which was tenth.

HARSH CRITICISM FOR FRENCHMAN FROM GERMANY Berlin, Oct. 15.—(By Wireless to Bayville, N. Y.)—The assertion is made by the Tageblatt that Theophile Delcasse, who recently resigned as foreign minister of France, opposed the landing of French troops at Sa loniki. "Perceiving that popular opinion was turning against him,’’ the Tage blatt adds, "Delcasse seized upon the pretext of the Saloniki expedition as a reason to resign. He was able to disappear from the political theatre. in the attitude of a man who foresaw calamities and warned the nation, whil* in reali'y, he, together wifi President Poincare, and War Minister Millerand, brought about the present situation.’’ The Vos8ische Zeitung says: “Delcasse’s whole career was based upon the idea of revenge. He enter ed parliament with a speech in favor of a Franco-Russian alliance. He always represented the idea of war on Germany. He was inspired by the late King Edward, one of the most active workers for the isolation of Germany. In 1909 Clemenceau thought that Delcasse had disappeared from public life, never again to return, but lie did reappear and if he is now abandoned forever by his former as sociates, their decision comes too late for France."

Six arrests were made, but no specific change was pre ferred agalnat any of the prisoners. Co hen is said to have been walking towards a window when the fatal shot struck him. Today’s trouble grew out of a bitter campaign which ended last Tuesday in a primary held while several companies of National Guard were kept in readi ness to suppress possible disorders. The election day passed quietly and the guardsmen were dispersed Wednesday. Followers of Mayor John P. Grace, an aspirant for renomination, charged that Gov. Manning by sending troops was trying to interfere with the primary, thereby favoring the candidacy of Grace's opponent, Tristam T. Hyde. Unofficial tabulation of the returns showed that Hyde had been nominated by a majority of 19 votes out of more than MKIO cast. The case of more than 100 contested votes was to be settled to day by the executive committee. N. Y. LAWYER DIES FROM ANTHROX IN HOSPITAL FRIDAY New York, Oct. 15.—George F. Stackpole, the lawyer of River Head, L. I., who was stricken with anthrax several days ago, died in Bellevue Hospital early today of heart failure resulting from the poison of the dis ease. Mr. Stackpole’s death came after a rally which caused the physicians to believe that the most serious phase of the disease had been passed and that he would recover. Mr. Stackpole, who was 71 years of age. was conscious 1 until within five minutes before he died and told his wife he realized that death was near. The unusual nature of the disease j from which Mr. Stackpole suffered. which is common to cattle but infre- 1 qperrt in human beings, attracted pub- lie attention throughout the country, i Physicians watched the case closely to observe the effect of the anti-toxin which was rushed here from the Bu reau of Animal Industry at Washing ton to combat the anthrax germ. This case was the first one in which the newly discovered serum had been used in the treatment of a human be ing, but it bad proved successful in tha treatment of animals. In all 150 cubic centimeters were injected in three or more periods. Following the third injection the swelling of the neck which ha4 in- J creased alarmingly, was checked and the patient's temperature declined j and decided improvement was shown, j Although the physicians were greatly encouraged they warned Mr. Stack- pole’s relatives that there was dan- ger that his heart would yield to the j poison infection of the malady. It is believed that Mr. Stackpole caught the disease by his custom of leaning against a hitching post while conversing with friends at River Head. THE PRESIDENT’S SUMMER HOME WILL BE IN N. J.

DUKE OF ORLEANS SENDS LETTER TO KING FERDINAND French Duke Asks Monarch to Take Back Jewels of Bulgari an Orders in Terms Express ing Loyalty to France Paris, Oct. 15.—5 A. M.—The Duke of Orleans several days ago addressed a letter to King Ferdinand of Bulga ria, requesting the monarch to take back Jewels of Bulgaria orders which had been bestowed upon him, but the letter was to bbe published only on the day Bulgaria entered the war. In his communication the duke said: “The attitude Your Majesty has thought right to take in the present war. contrary to your previous policy, forces me to the sad duty of praying Your Majesty to take back the Jewels of Bulgarian orders with which Your Majesty invested me, first upon the death of your honorable mother, and second, when Your Majesty was in Paris to point out how much Bulgaria owed to France. "I tell Your Majesty to take back the Jewels because, alas, I cannot send them, but Your Majesty has only to apply to his ally which for more than a year has occupied by chateau in Belgium and for whom my safe can have no secrets. I authorize giving up to Your Majesty orders I can no long er wear. "Your Majesty will understand I am obliged to warn Your Majesty the day he takes up arras against my country’, France, his name will be struck from the Chapter of Knights of the Holy Spirit. do not ask Your Majesty to send back the jewels of the Order of the Holy Spirit 'but wish, on the con- j trary, that these souvenirs of the France he has betrayed shall keep i alive perpetual remorse.” A letter the Duke wrote to Emper or Francis Joseph at the outbreak of the war also has been published, n it j he asks the ruler of Austida-Hungary I to take back the jewels of the Order of j the Golden Fleece and refers to his; marriage to the Archduchess Maria j Dorothea as "the misfortune of my j life.” The Duke of Orleans married the Archduchess Maria Dorothea of Aus tria in Vienna in November, 1896. She obtained a separation from him in Paris in July of last year, after domes tic difficulties which had lasted for years. Under the decree granted by 1 the court of arbitration she was to receive $ll,u00 g year from the Duke j who was ordered to restore to her1 money which he had used improperly, i While the separation was granted the I court refused to recommend a decree of divorce.

THE BALL’S THE PITCHER’S Until the Catcher Cetchee it or the Hitter Hite It New York, N. Y., Oct. 15.—Right on top of the answer to the query "Who are the world’s champs?” comes a decision on another big baseball question. It was propounded several days ago to a class by Prof. Calvin McClelland of the New Jersey Law school in Newark. It was as follows, to wit: "When, in a game of baseball, the pitcher throws the ball to the batter, in whose possession is the ball?” Students argued hours with him about It. The law of possession is his special ty. Yesterday he gave the answer thus: "Possession is manifold control over an abject. In the present case it is the in tention of the pitcher to exclude all oth srs from the ball.” (Low music by Alex ander's Ragtime Band.) “The pitcher has ■nan!feet control because when he curves tt, It le his intention to exclude it from the batter.” (prolonged laughter by Messrs. Hooper and Lewis.) “Therefore, the ball la in the possession of the pitch er until the catcher gets hts hands on It."

M.—Recruit ing is to be taken entirely out of the hands of the military authorities and entrusted exclusively to civilian or ganisations. This, in a nut-shell, is the plan by wAlch the Earl of Derby, director of recruiting for the grmy, hopes to secure a sufficient number of volunteer enlistments to render re course to conscription unnecessary. He described the new system at a pri vate conference with the parliamentary recruiting committee and the Joint la bor recruiting board this afternoon. “The changes that I propose making,” sadi Lord Derby, “have not been ne cessitated by any short-comings on the part of the recruiting staff, but by the exigencies of the situation, which, to my mind, require entirely new methods of dealing with the subject.- In the past, recruits have been found by the military authorities, assisted by the civilians. I propose to make civil ians responsible for bringing raw ma terial in the shape of recruits to the military authorities for them to enlist clothe, equip and train. "This can be rendered possible only if some thoroughly representative civil body be willing to make itself respon sible for the work and my most grate RUMANIA CABINET AGAIN PRONOUNCES FOR NEUTRALITY Bucharest, Wednesday, Oct. 13, via Paris, Oct. 16.—(3.J5 A.

The intelli gence reaches its full development k the early twenties, but the knoalelg that comes from experience eontina! to accumulate as long as our bra* are able to digest it. Intellectual pot er therefore is at its best in the per* that comes before the mind has bep to lose impulse and elasticity and ah it has acquired sufficient material. 1 public and private business this pel usually runs, roughly speaking fi about 30 to 60, although with manye ceptions at both ends. In the arts t! best period Is younger, notably in pi etry, where the most efffective time i often in the twenties. There are pin ty of cases of invention and of di creative, even lyric spirit on a hip plane late In life, but they are not tit rule.

The strik ing headlines often call my attention to important matters of general news that I had entirely over looked in my metropolitan daily; while the col umns devoted to Maine Gossip are always full of incidents of special interest to sons of Maine, as well as of keen enjoyment to the general reader.”# To those of you who still make Maine home there ca* come considerable satisfaction in knowing that the Journal’? faithful regard for home news and its accurate presentation of foreign news places it among the “most welcome” of paper?! in a city the size of New York.
