The Democratic candidates will begin to pop up rapidly now that Charles T. Reade, chairman of the V mocra'ic State committee, has initiated the campaign and campaign policy, in ail forecasts of the final lining up of candidates for the 1916 campaign there are necessarily many ’Ifs." but there are some things which so nearly approach fact that they may be given credence, there are facts which en lighten tl’.e "Ifs," and there ar. pos sibilities which ere interesting if only possibilities. As For Curtis. There are persistent run.-rs. and only rumors based on assumption, that Gov. Oakley C. Curtis, will not be a candidate for ri—lection but will be a candidate before the June primaries lor the senatorial nomination. Gov. Curtis treats these newspaper stor.es with a sprinkle if irony now and then, but neither denies not confirms the theme of their argumentations. In tiie absence of fact, then, it is interesting to bring a few facts to bear upon 11.e theme which tacks denial or confirma tion. Gov. Curtis is not a quit ter; be would not drop out of the guberna torial contest merely because he fore st: a d;.t of pre «dent seif-,, vP nt fa el :s till agdnst ,-uch an operation. Xu since Maine n ;i primary lav. hasa holder cf a een tested n his ap plication Dr i'eiiem nation in the prin.a ri-. s. pt credent and the miu! of the lire of office forbids of this sort except in ex tre i case of Senator ’Johnson is not an extreme one; he is 'a. pfubi. ad Ids party. Gov. C rtis h rdly enter th appoint Senator Juhn son. Senator Johnson w, uld n-d be so active politically as he is now. The theorv that Senator Johnson would much prefer the certainty of a place on the bench to a worriment over a re-election to the set.at- is advanced by theorists who do not know Senator Johnson as well as they should. Of course, if Senator Johnson believes .n his heart that he is not so fit for a federal law-maker as for a Maine as sociate justice, he might be relegated from political battle-fronts by ap pointment to the bench, but he. too, apparently likes his job anil he is no more a quitter than Got. urtis. b.e is busy now preparing to fight for re election and there is hardly a reason able whisper of doubt but that he will have the opportunity for the battle. When the Democrats g“ to the polls next Septt rnber, they will find them s. Ives voting for Curtis for Governor, and for representatives primary pledged to Johnson for the Senate, unless some one gives the political checker board a powerful kick and breaks all the rules of the game. Then Again. “If." Just for the sake of further guessing. ports and accounts should he carefully compiled in a standard and comprehen sive manner so as to facilitate com parison and show a true and accurate exposition of the financial affairs to the tax-payers and citizens of the State. After over 25 years of experience in business and office practice coupled with a thorough business education, together with three years service as accountant and office man in the State House, which has given me positive knowledge concerning the laws and the workings of the different departments, I fully believe that I can offer to the I people of the State a practical, intel ligent and efficient service. With assurances that if chosen for the office of State Auditor 1 shall make every effort to administer the af 1 fairs of the office honestly and impar tially toward all interests, 1 beg to re main. Very truly yours, FREDERIC H. E. BRAGG. Advt imagine that Gov. Curtis steps out of' I the gubernatorial contest and the j Democratic nomination is opened to the Democratic field. In tliis event. Hon. Bertram! G. Mclntire and Hon. j Elmer E. N'ewbert might enter the iray. The First District. The 1st distric t congressional nomi I nation was sternly fought by two men who are non members of the roun i "U Hon. John Clark Scales and Hon. j diaries M. Sleeper. Mr. States won j'.he nomination but both gentlemen unali> succeeded in winning equal J favor as councillors while Congress- I j man Hinds succeeded himself at; asliington. Whether Dr. Sleeper Jam: Mr. Scales will again enter the primaries for the 1st district nomina Don. along with others, is only a sub 1 .■ect for conjecture. A group of Re publican candidates already in the neld should yield a successful canai- date for the 1316 election. Mr. Hinds j j having announced that he will not’ stand for re-olection. The Second District. In the 2nd district Congressman Mo i Giliicuddy is driving stakes in his femes every nay arid sees before him the great- cst fight of his political career. No one will enter the primaries against Con e rest man McGillicuddy. A strong field i of Kepublican candidates in the district will ultimately present a candidate who will give the congressman a battle which will require the bringing up of all his reserves and may very likely result in his surrender. The Third District. In the 2rd district Congressman John A. 3'eters will have no contest for the' Kepublican nomination and he will have t. great battle for re-election. His fight with Hon. William It. 1'attangall in 181* will go down in history as Congressman l’eters' greatest political contest. He won easily in 3:- will probably be Hon. John K. i Bunker of Bar Harbor, the present Sec retary of State. N>w and then one will meet w:th a man who apparently believes that Mr. Bunker could defeat Congress man Peters, but such an one surely does r.ot take account of the fact that Hon. J- Edward Sullivan, State auditor, hand ed a severe defeat to Mr. Bunker in the 19:4 primaries for the auditor nosiina tion: a defeat so cruel that the Demo cratic party best wed upon Mr. Bunker i the office of secretary of State as a soothing syrup for the Etir.g. And by what distortment of fortune and reason could a politician defeated by J. Edward Sullivan succeed in besting Congressman I Peters at the polls? The Fourth District. In the 4th district Congressman Frank E. Guernsey will have no primary con test. Hon. Charles W. Mullen, who ran against the congressman in 1934. is mak ing good as a member of the Public Utilities Commission and may or may not see fit to chance his weaknesses as 1 a congressional candidate once more against the strength of Congressman 1 Guernsey. Death has removed Mayor Frank Robinson of Eangor. who would have been the logical eand;date to oppose Congressman Guernsey. Prof. Allen E. Rogers of Orono and F. W. Halliday of Newport, who were beaten by Mr. Mul len in the 1914 primaries, are neither as strong as the Democratic party demands for the contest. Nowhere in the Demo cratic lists does there appear a man other than Mr. Mullen who could make even a fair start in a contest at the polls with the tr.ed and proved congressman from Dover who is ever: now preparing a campaign which will make his line of battle in September. 1916, all but impreg nable. To Race Johnson. One must wait until after the June primaries before one can make an esti mate of the strength of the three candi dates for the Kepublican nomination for the United States Senate. The success ful candidate will have a battle royal in the polls against Senator Johnson, but the senator's early campaigning is con vincing everyone tht even the senator realizes that he is likely to lose out next September. Hon. Ira G. Hersey of Houl ton, Hon. Bert M. Femald of Poland, i Col. Frederick E. Hale of Portland con stitute the group from which the Re I publican nominee will come, and Sena- j tor Johnson knows as well as anyone else that the successful candidate from this group can wage a battle that will call forth all his ammunition and may j disastrously exhaust him when ammu nition means votes. To Defeat Curtis. Again, only the June primaries can name the Republican gubernatorial can didate. From a field of seven candidates the enrolled Republicans of the State must choose one, and from Aroostook's (Continued on Page 5—Column 1) Sen. Smoot Attacks McAdoo Statement One of Leading Republican Members of Finan cial Committee Declares Secretary’s Estimates of Revenue Are too High and for Expendi tures too Low—Charges Resort to Misleading Bookkeeping Washington, Nov. —Secretary Mc Adoo's plan for raising by internal taxes the additional revenue needed by the government to meet a deficit and cover the initial expense of army and navy increase was endorsed to day by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, chairman of the finance com mittee. Estimates too High Senator Smoot of Utah, one of the leading Republican members of the fi nance committee, gave out a state ment attacking the financial statement issued by Secretary MeAdoo. The Utah senator stated that all the secre tary's revenue estimates were too high and those for expenditures too low and that misleading bookkeeping changes t had been resorted to. Differing from his fellow North Car- olinian—Representative Kitchen, new majority leader of the House—Senator Simmons announced himself as an earnest advocate of adequate defense and expressed the conviction that the present income tax exemption was far too high and that gasoline and auto- mobiles should share the burden of the war tax. Simmons' Endorsement “Although 1 have nut had an oppor- tunity to Investigate closely the de tails of the administration's defense plan," said Mr. Simmons-, “I approve the general idea which 1 understand underlies it. With reference to pre paredness, generally. 1 think that the sentiment of the people of my state Would be against what has been char acterized as frenzied preparedness, but overwhelmingly in favor of what might be termed comm n sense pre paredness: that is, preparedness that would enable us to defend ourselves if attacked and to defend ur rights up on tlie high seas as weli as the land, if these right.- are invaded. I would have a navy adequate not only for de fense l.i t adequate to assert our rights. “I think the reasons why the govern ment shPuld provide for a merchant ma rine are even greater than they were Mien the bill which failed at the last Congress was introduced and I believe that the reasons will be stronger when the war closes than they have been dur ing its continuance, be' a use when the war closes and the scramble for interna tional trade sets in, our position will be a pitiably hopeless one if we have to depend for the. transportation to accom modate our nearly rive-biihon-dollar in ternational trade almost wholly upon our competitors in that trade. 1 like very much the suggestion of acquiring ships that may be easily convertible into aux iliaries for the navy. "I am inclined to think that the in come tax exemption is too high. It had resulted in less than 500,000 people out of a total of 100,000.000 paying the entire tax derived from incomes." Smoot's Analysis In his statement analyzing Secretary McAdoo's figures. Senator Smoot assert ed that they did not correspond with tTie daily statement of the United States treasury issued on the date when the secretary’s tabulations were begun. Sec retary McAdoo's table showed that on July 1. 1015. there was a credit balance in the general fund of $104,170.105.7S, whereas the senator declared the official daily statement of the treasury for that date showed the net balance in the general fund to be {76,157.830.33. On Sept. 30, 1915. the treasury statement, according to Sen ator Smoot, showed a r.et balance in the genera! fund of $40.S9S.894.!*7, while, he added, "the next day's statement without the addition of the proceeds of a bond sale, and with an actual decrease in the revenues of the government over expend itures. shows the halanee of $125,003,545.33. “In this apparent increase of $57,164, 650.26 in the treasury balance," said Sen (Ccntinued on Page 5—Column 2) THE WEATHER FAIR Boston.

Nov. 26.—Senator TCem of Indiana, who probably will be chos en as majority leader to succeed him self, reached Washington today to ar range fnr the conference of Democrat ic senators here next Monday. The con ference primarily will consider Senate reorganization. Senator Clark of Arkansas is expect ed to be re-named as President Pro Tempore. Republican leaders say that no defi nite time has been fixed for their con ference, but it probably will be held s'me time r.cxt week, after the arrival of Senator Gallinger, the conference chairman. COOK INLET IS NOW CLOSED TO NAVIGATION Seward. Alaska, Nov. 26.—Navigation in Cook Inlet has closed for the win ter. according to a radio message from the steamship Admiral Farragut, which was made public today. Four thousand, five hundred tons of freight consigned to the Alaska Engineering Commission and merchants at anchor age will be unloaded here and stored until next spring, when the ice goes out and vessels can reach the railroad construction headquarters. SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR IS ARRESTED ON CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST SHIPS i Pan Francisco, Xov. i:C.—Charles C. Crowley, charged with conspiracy to further the destruction of ships bear ing munitions of war and supplies for the Entente Allies, was formally ar rested late today and arraigned before I I'niied States Commissioner Francis 1 Krull. Bail bond was tixed at S500t>. I The complaint tiled against Crowley charged him with supplying money to further the destruction of ships and docks by fire and dynamite. Three money orders for a total of $350 were mentioned having been sent by Crow- I ley to Lewis J. Smith at Tacoma, j Wash. Crowley and Smith, according to the allegations in the complaint, j took employment with the Hercules Powder Co. here last May in order to obtain information regarding the ship ments of explosives. Specific mention was made in the eomplaint of the explosion on May 3 of 15 tons of explosives on a barge moored on a buoy in the Seattle har bor. Federal officials were reticent to night concerning the evidence in their possession, but they expressed confi dence that their case would prove helpful to federal authorities in the East in the prosecution of Lieut. Rob ert Fay, neld on similar charges at (Continued on Pago 10—Col. 3/ STREET CAR LINE CHRISTMAS GIFT TOWN OF PORT VUE Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 26.—Gilbert F.

Ail that is required of the borougn is the promise that the line will be operated five years. The question will be decided by the Port Vue council next week. BARGE DEMOLISHED BY AN EXPLOSION Seattle, Wash., Nov. 26.—On May 30, 1915, an explosion on board a barge in the harbor here demolished the barge, rocked the country for a radius of 30 miles around and broke all the plate glass in the business district of Seattle, entailing a loss estimated at $100,000. The barge was loaded with dynamite shipped here from California, consign ed to Vladivostok.

RUSSIAN FORCE CONCENTRATING NEAR BULGARIA i Reports Convey Infor mation That Gen. Ku ropatkin Will Com mand Army of Inva sion Now on Frontier London, Nov. 26.—The Ser bian main army having been driven back to the borders of Albania and Montenegro, where they are being attacked by the Austro-Germans, the Bulgari ans, with the assistance of Gen. Von Gallwitz’s forces, are now giving their attention to the An glo-French troops. Important -military developments may [therefore be looked for on the Varda river. Monastir Relieved The Bulgarians appear to have aban doned temporarily their advance on Monastir in order to attack the French positions on Cerna. where fighting al ready had been reported. So far the j French have held their position, but i dispatches from Saloniki hint that it Krivolak to the southeast where Brit may he necessary to withdraw from ish-French reinforcements are being concentrated. While the results of these movements are being watched with some anxiety, better news from the allies' point of view comes from the northern frontier of Bulgaria, where a big Russian army is massing. Kuropavkin in Command It is reported that Gen. Alexis Ku ropatkin is to command this Russian army of invasion, which will either be j sent up the Danube or allowed pas j sage through Rumania to attack Yar na from the land side.

Contestants must supply each picture with a title using the name of some Maine summer home or pleasure boat that shall be most fitting and appropriate, describing it most comp letely or fitting it most perfectly. The one supplying the greatest number of such most fitting and appropriate titles shall earn the first award; the one supplying the next greatest num ber shall earn the next award, etc. Contestants are confined in their ana wers to the list from which pictures were taken. Entrance to the contest is free. Simply cut out and save the pictures as they appear from day to day. Fill in i with what you think is the most fitting and appropriate title to each picture. When the last one has ap- peared send them all together to the Journal and they will be judged along with the others. There will be no correct list selected beforehand by the Journal. Each picture will be nameless and the judges will select from the answers what will ultimately be deemed the best titles to all the pictures. The contest is open to all bona fide residents of Maine. In order to have a uniformity to the contest and also to aid contestants the Journal has compiled a list of Maine summer homes and pleasures boats. All titles to pictures are to be selecetd from this list. To help pay the cost of compil ing and printing this booklet the price will be 25c. It will be known as the Ready Reference Record. Contestants in order to be absolutely sure of their work should have one of these books. Similar contests of this nature have shown that many contestants desire to make more than one selection as a possible answer to each picture and the Journal has made the rule that ea ch contestant may submit as many as D answers to each picture If he so desires. Extra copies of any particular pictures may be had at 2c. each. However, should a contestant decide to use many extra pictures the cost would be considerable. Having this in mind the Journal has prepared a book known as the Solution Blank Book, wherein may be set down as many as ten titles to each of the SO pictures. The big saving effected by the use of this book can readily be seen by a little figuring. Suppose you decide to use an average of four answers to each picture. The total number of pictures will be 80 and four answers to each is 320 answers. Each extra picture costs -c. which would make the total cost $0.40. In order to afford every facility to contestants the Journal will sell this book for 45c. If both books are ordered together the price for both will be 60c.

The darting pains, lame muscles or j stiffened joints only disappear by grad ually expelling the uric acid, and so many thousands have been relieved by j the blood-enriching oil-food in Scott’s 1 Emulsion that you should give it a j faithful trial. Scott’s Emulsion acts as j a powerful blood-purifier by increasing i the red corpuscles and it strengthens j the organs to carry off the acids which cause the trouble. TryScott’s Emulsion.

WILSON TO MEET FOREIGN LADIES ON PEACE PLANS Washington, Xov. 26.—President Wil son had an engagement late today to see Mrs. Philip Snowden, wife of a member of the British Parliament, and Mine. Rosika Schwimmer, of Hungary, who seek the President's support of the movement for a neutral conference to attempt ot end the Kuropean war and establish permanent peace. They were t be presented to the President by Henry Ford. The conference is the climax of a telegraphic campaign in which women in all parts of the coun try participated, urging the President to interest himself in having the pro posed conference of neutral nations called. Preceding tie- White House coti/er 1 once, a mass meeting for peace under tlie auspices of a local peace organiza tion, was held, among the speakers were Miss Jam Addams, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford, Mrs. Snowden and Mme.

Dun's Review New York, Nov. 26.—Dunn's* Week I ly- Review tomorrow will say: Widely divergent lines in all sections j reflect a sustained growth in business movements and volumes. Manufac turing operations still broaden, with i overtime in force in many instances, i while retail distribution steadily en larges under the stimulus of increased l pay rolls and continued low tempera lures. As the season advances holiday i goods' become a more conspicuous feature and there is even- indication i that results in this particular branch will prove exceptionally gratifying, j With money circulating more freely, collections show further improvement and the commercial mortality dimin ishes, fewer failures occurring this month than in October. Other statis tical records exhibit noteworthy gains. Knhancement of the earning pow#r of the railroads continues yet the heavy traffic movement cause an embarrass ing accumulation of freight on the At lantic seaboard. Exports were again of unmatched proportions in October and the present development of over sea commerce is aided by the great stability of sterling exchange due to additional foreign credits in this mar ket. CANADA MANIFESTING SENSATIONAL AMBITION TOWARD PRODUCING SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTION OF MUNITIONS FOR ALLIED FORCES i Ottawa, Out..

French and 1 Iritisii shell orders tilled in Canada, and to have the business financed by tile banking housues and other financial institutions of the Do minion The plan will mean that instead of borrowing from Cleat Britain Can ada will make advances of credit and funds to Englnd. Shell orders which have been tilled or which are being tilled in Canada have reached the total of $’*ua,00n,0no. -More than ifOti manufacturing firms tire engaged upon the work and it is esti mated that Canadian firms have in stalled over jyiMMty.OO'i worth of spe cial machinery. in Europe the munitions needs of France. Russia aiui Cl eat Britain are isyntJieated for the promotion of great er efficiency. In Canada the munition business is to lie organized in sucli a way that a large order fou munitions can be handed to this country and taken care of in the most expeditious iand economical manner. Heretofore payment has been made from British funds placed with the Canadian gov ernment. Hereafter the business prob ably will lie financed in Canada; Brit ish bills of exchange being taken by the Canadian banks or by a banking and financial syndicate organized un tier government supervision and pay merits made to the munition manufac i turers l>y that syndicate. Messrs. Hichins and Brand, who re Jcenlly came to Canada as llie author ized representatives of Lloyd George.

BEGAN LIFE AS COAL MINER A story of American pluck, perse verance, and ambition, is that of Rev. X. \Y. Matthews formerly of Plymouth, Pa., now pastor of the First Primitive Methodist church of Loweli, Mass.. who began life as the son of a miner, and winning his way up in the world until he is today a member of the Faculty of the Primitive Methodist Theological School, and Pastor of a prosperous church. Nathan YV. Mat thews. when a mere lad, worked in the coal mines near Hazelton. Pa. Kev. Mr. Matthews says that among other evils suffered by miners, none is more dangerous and harder to over come notwithstanding the Improved conditions under the inspector system, than the injury to health. The miners spending so much of their time under Today is Successful Clergyman ground, in dampness and dust, caui»s many to become broken in health Ion* before their time. These conditions cause wasting away of the body, miners’ asthma, sore throat, bronchitis, and serious throat and lung troubles. To overcome this condition nourish ment for the blood and food for the tissues of the body are needed, and Rev. Mr Matthews says: ’1 have no hesitation in recommending Father John’s Medicine as the best remedy prescribed for the ailments referred to above. Its purity and wholesomeness and nourishing qualities are exactly suited for building up and restoring to health those exposed to the conditions existing in Pennsylvania and for all suffering from miners’ asthma, throat and lung troubles, colds, grip, and de bilitated systems, I have used it iti my family with wonderful success.” This old remedy soothes and heals the throat and lungs, and its food ele ments nourish the body, by enabling the stomach to assimilate food, and forcine nutrition into the blood, by which each organ of the body is strengthened and made to do its prop er work. Its ingredients contain the same material of which blood and tis sue are made and it gives vital force to the system by which disease is overcome and prevented. It is not a patent medicine. Contains no alcohol or dangerous drugs.—Adv. Learn the Real Joy Of Living by starting: a savings account in this bank.

S. London, Nov —Speaking as the’ guest of honor at the American Luncheon Club today, Sir Edward Car son. former attorney general. discuss ed -The Duty of Neutrals." Sir Edward expressed the fear that international law had been entirely abolished, or at ar.y rate greatly en croached upon, by the impotence of the neutrals themselves. After ac knowledging the introductory speech which praised him as a; Irishman. Sir Edward said I am proud to be ar. Irishman but a: the same time I am not a hyphen ated Britisher." The speaker .-aid he would make no startling revelations, for unto recent ly he had beer, a member of the cab inet. at all events a part of it. though how much of it he never iuito knew. An-eetca's Neutrality Discussing neutrality, S.r Edward said. "America is the greatest neutral at the present moment. When mention America as the greatest neutral, nat urally I turn to the conduct of neutrals in relation to the mit.gation of the horrors of war. Ar.d nothing fills me more with dismay when I think of the horrible period through which we are passing than the fact—1 am not blam ing anybody, but it is a fact—that in ternational law-, the product of all the peace instincts of ail nations with a view to preventing interruption to civilization, even in time of hostili- ties has. I fear, been entirely abolished or at any rate generally encroached on by the impotence of the neutrals themselves." Sir Edward Carson then explained that conventions adopted in times of peace could only be upheld by neu trals. “Abolish the power of countries not at war and you abolish interna tional law itself.” the speaker said. "This w-ar from the start has shown the ineptitude and powerlessness of neutrals."

Futility of Guarantees Sir Edward said the invasion of Bel gium showed the futility of guaran tees. although they were supported by the gTeat powers of Europe, and added; "The necessity for the maintenance, the sustaining ar.d supporting of in ternational law and international jur isprudence becomes more vivid—is more brought home to us when we re member that a breach of international law necessary in the rules of war. leads j to reprisals—and reprisals know no limit. Therefore, the first breach leads j on the downward path almost to its abrogation, x x x x x x "Just as you may delude or mistify or lull into a sense of security our own j citizens by speeches and perorations— j you will not thereby win a war—so in the international sphere you may i by diplomatic notes, numerous and! strong, satisfy the consciences of your t :r.izens but you win not by the mere tote maintain the obligations put up >n as you as parties of international aw which is to prevent breaches of, :irrigation ar.d to mitigate the hor ■ors of war." The speaker then expressed his fear the future, since if international Jaw ..roved futile in this conflict, r.o faith tould be put in future conventions, rhere ould only be one safeguard for oeace—increased armaments and the ■namtenance of gerater armies than in he past, he said. I am sure no or.» here will be of ended by anything I have said." Sir Edward continued. "It is not meant o be a reproach to anyone. It is i meant in some way or other to draw attention to what seems to me to be :he realities of the lessons we have earned through the war. But do r.ot mature for a moment that I am witti ‘-1 -ratitude to our cousins beyond hne Atlantic. God knows what we owe to them. "I '-ouid never get through .f I 2-. tempted to describe the many benefits :..e> have conferred on humanity even if, they have r.ot done al! we had hoped for* !n l“!S terr;b;e struggle But their lat est one—ar.d not the least-I call to mind m the murder of that brave woman in Belgium, Nurse Cave:]. Never wii! there' depart from the minds of Englishmen and Irishmen who understand the situa- 1 tier, the brave and humane efforts made by Brand Whitlock and Hugh Gibso- who indeed fulfilled rot merely the fun-- tions of representatives of vour great United States, but showed themselves mer. who had engraved in them those: great qualities and feelings of humanity i which, even in times of war, are im planted by our great Maker, of mercy,' forgiveness and comfort, developed in1 them in the highest degree. We are I grateful to them. America ought to be proud of them, and I am sure she is." i Sir Edward concluded with the expres- sion of the hope that the United States and Great Britain would be drawn closer together in the interests of civilization and humanity. CORPORATION TRIES TO SECURE PROOF OF AMERICAN OWNERSHIP Washington. Nov. 26—The state de- partment was advised today that the American Trans-Atlantic Co. of New 1 ork was securing affidavits from its• varoius stockholders in an effort to prove that none but American citizens and American capital are interested in the corporation's fleet of merchant ships. Several of these vessels, flying the American flag, have been seized by British cruisers on the ground of suspected German ownership.

M.—Turk ish troops resisting' the British ad vance in Mesopotamia are failing back, according to an official an nouncement tonight, reporting a Turk ish retirement on Dialah. 10 miles from Bagdad. The announcement says: "A telegram from General Sir John Eccies Nixon, commander of the Brit ish forces in Mesopotamia under cate of the 25th reports that Gen. Town shend’s troops were in possession of the battlefield, while the Turks were reported to be retiring on Dialah, 10 miles above Ctesiphon and the same distance from Bagdad. General Town shead was engaged in clearing the field of wounded and prisoners. At first it was stated that 60 prison ers had been taken. It now appears that no less than 1300 have been marched back to Lajj. "Our wounded are reported to num ber about 2500, of whom 1500 were leaving that day by steamer for Bas. The number of killed has not yet been reported. "General Nixon praises the excellent handling of the troops by Gen. Town sher.d and the splendid spirit shown by them after their severe losses and hardship from want of water and food. GERMAN TROOPS ON RUSSIAN FRONT DREAD WINTER Petrograd. Nov. 26. Via London.— The Russian general staff is not dis posed to over-estimate the importance of actions that occur from time to time along the central sector of the battle line, where no determined offen sive movement is now under way. Lo cal commanders thus have opportunity to act on their own initiative, isolated engagements, as reported from time to time, resulting. Germans who ha\e been taken pris oners along some parts of the line, represent the German forces to which they were attached as low spirited in view of the knowledge that the rigors of the coming winter have now to be faced. This feeling has been partic ularly noticeable, accordinig to the prisoners statements since Russian successes at many points on the iine have compelled the retirement of the Germans from comfortable trenches. Many detachments are said to be un able properly to dig ir.. owing to the freezing of the ground and must pass the w inter virtually cn the surface.

Referring to the landing at Sulva Kay. Mr. Redmond said: I have re ceived communications relating to the ;0th (Irish.) Division, not from men in ;he ranks of subalterns, but from offi cers of high position, which 1 dare not read to the House. 1 have felt i; my duty to send them to the war office and the prime minister. Bir Ian Ham ilton is back here. now. and some day these things will have to be inquired into, and when they are known 1 think it will be found that never in your military history have troops been sub jected to such horrible sufferings, or have shown such gallantry as the 10th Division commanded by Sir Bryan Ma hon. Yet not one word of recognition has been written about them.’’ Mr. Redmond dealt particularly with the war office censorship over official reports in this speech. In the earlier months of the war the government had an official "eye-witness" in the field to fill the void, caused by the prohibi tion of w ar. correspondents, and to at tempt to satisfy the public demand for descriptions of the work of the British army. His messages, however, were robbed of*nine-tent?is of their possible interest by the absence of the names of organizations and individuals. Since a limited number of British corre spondents have been permitted at army headquarters during the past season the official “eye-witness’’ has been withdrawn, but the newspaper men are under the same restrictions of writing mostly in generalities TRIED TO DECOY HUNTER CAUSED THESH00TIN6 OF MRS.BARTLETT Blanchard.

Thanksgiving afternoon, shot through the breast by a bullet from 'the gun of Melvin Braegdon. whom she had jokingly attempted to deceive into thinking that a deer lurked in th* bushes before him. Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett were in the woods hunting near their home in North Blanchard. Thursday afternoon, and were somewhere between the Bunker brook trestle and the river, when tb®> saw Melvin Braegdon and Roy Bartlett, two neighbors, approach* 1 :ng. According to the storj of the men, Mrs. Bartlett hid in the bushes and made a noise like a deer. Braegdon saw a movement ahead of him. heard the rustling, and fired. Rushing up he found Reuben Bartlett, bending over bis wife, who had been shot through the breast. The shooting occurred at 3.3o in the afternoon, and an attempt was at once made to remove Mrs. Bartlett to her home, about a mile distant. for it was hoped at first that the wound would not prove fatal. She died, -however, about an hour after the accident, hav ing regained consciousness onc-e, anti made the statement that the blame for her death rested on her own shoulders. Braegdon. who was a close friend of the Bartletts. ami lived but a few rods from their house, is inconsolable over the shooting, and can give- no account o- it other than to agree with what Reuben Bartlett, husband of the dead woman, and Roy Bartlett, a distant connection of Reuben Bartlett, have to say.

A largely attended meeting under the chairmanship of Mrs. Elinor Pei:n Gaskell unanimously approv ed a long indictment against Mrs. P'ank hurst. In those indictments those who attend ed the meeting ehargt that in using the name of Women s Social and Political Union for political purposes Mrs. Pank hurst was acting without authority. They blame her for failing to utilize the organ ization for some form of national ser vice during the war. which service is said to be in accordance with the desires of an overwhelming majority of the mem i bers, the disregard of which, coupled with. Mrs. Pankhtjrsts complete control of the funds and local machinery. has I been “virtually to disband and break up the W. S. P. U. as a national organiza l tion.” They accuse her of usurping authority and expelling members who differed from her.

THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK AUGUSTA •ctaScodtf Augusta Children’s Home Inmates Pleasantly Located I People who have been wondering what has become of the children forro i erly at the Augusta Children's Home. r.ow that the Home building has been leased to Dr. Lewis L. Mann for the establishment of the Mayfair Hospital j will be interested to learn that these children have beer* placed in private homes in Augusta, under the new sys j tern of boarding those in the care of i the Maine Children's Home Society of Augusta. The feeling in favor of this system is growing every day through j out the country according to ail reports j and a municipality only needs to be shown the advantages of this system before it will be in hearty sympathy i with it. j A concise statement of the reasons 1 i which led the Home officials to make 1 this change was recently given by Sup:, j I W. C. Hawes of the Society as follows: I—The family home is the most nor mal and natural place for any child—I an institution is the next resort. C—The expense is less. G—It is a question of morals when boys and girls are kept together in one building. 4— A seas.tive child dislikes to be in- stitutionalired. or abhors being referred to as from a children’s home. 5— With a small endowment fund as ours, it is unwise to keep up an insti- tution. —More of the money giver., goes di rectly to the child—the objective point. Mr. Hawes also pointed to the fact that a child loses individuality in the institution. Ir. the private home the child sees things to be done, whereas j in the institution the child does only j what he or she has been told to do. Miss M. Elizabeth Amts of Augusta. a district superintendent of the Maine 1 Childrens Home Society, attended the National Conference Charities and Oorrestiens h.eid May l to at Bal timore. Md. She reported that the en tire tone of the meeting was that the theme life was be’ter for the children' than the institution life. Ir. a paper giver, at that meeting by Ruth W.

For more :han ten years, however it has lore no institutional work, providing for its children in normal family homes selected with care. It has aided chil iren without reference to age. sex. re ligion. or color.” In the same article the following is found: "Most of our children are placed within 50 miles of Boston, a fact which hoods for practically all of the private :hild-p!acing societies in Boston. It is doubtful if very many other child plac ing organizations scattered over the country are as close to their placing territories. This nearness of home to office makes possible frequent telephone conversations with the foster-parents, and frequent visits on the part of the foster-parents or the children to Bos ton to see the visitors.” In another paper given, at the National Conference by William J. Doherty, second deputy commissioner of the Department of Public Chanties of New York City the following statement is made: In some institutions the authorities are content to work along the lines of least resist ance. extending to their wards the very minimum of requisite care, training, and normal home life. Ir. stiil another group, the managers cling fondly to the traditions and adhere tenaciously to methods of child-care which long ago were thrown into discard by progres sive institutions." Miss S.

The jack rabbit of Connecticut is much, larger than the Maine rabbit or hare, and while the latter as a rule weighs about three pounds or perhaps four, th- jack rab bit will weigh V- ar.i sometimes It pounds, and is gray in color like a wolf. Col. B’ackingtor sa; s that they run in circles like a fox. but the cir cles are not so large, arid one can sec them as far as a dog car. be seen. These jack rabbits are not natives of the State of Connecticut but were brought there from some other part of the country. Some of them escaped from the place in which they w_ere confined, which was followed by the enactment of legislat. n protecting them for a period of years The ani mal? multiplied during the period of close time which recently expired, so that they are now furnishing the hunters of that state with lots of sport.
