The Crown Prince has used up vir tually all his own reserves and some from the army groups to the eastward, but the great bulk of the German reserves are to the north. It remains to be seen whether the enemy will use them to develop his success toward Paris or pur sue his original intention in striking toward Amiens with a view to cutting the allied armies in two. i I l “The attack during the past week has not been so se rious as other attacks at other points in the allied line be cause we have more room for maneuver and can better af ford to fall back. Another thing that must always be con sidered is that the Germans are rapidly using up their ef fectives. Thus far they have employed probably 4j divi sions in the present attack.

The occupation of Ghateau Thierry marks the beginning of the expect'd turning movement toward l’ar which ihe Gentians were believed to have planned. If the town has been taken in its entirely, ihe Germans may lie. expected to move down tit Maine.

Soule and the Eel Col. Soule, tlie genial superintend ent of the Gardiner Water district, began to think along serious lines the other day and vent about with such a thoughtful mien that he had to answer several inquiries regarding the nature of tiis trouble. It's all over now for the mystery is solved and "Othello is himself again." Here’s the story. A few daw ago it was found that there was trouble with one of the hydrants in Farniingdale and the Colonel started up the line with a man to ascertain if possible what the troulbc was. Arriving on the scene, opinion was divided as to whether there was a leak in tlie main or whether something else might be the trouble. They started to investigate and took off the cap of the hydrant when out wriggled an enormous eel. To say that the Colonel was struck dumb is putting it mildix for haven’t w. a first class sand filter of the most approved style? Surely this should lie suf ficient protection from mi occurrence of this sort. The puzzred man could account, for the situation in just one way and that uas that the cel had gone into the main when he was a little chap and before the filter was installed and grown up to adult eel hood. The mystery was revealed when the story came out that some boys had caught the eel pi the nearby river and taken off the cap of the hydrant and allowed ids eelship to slip in.

GERMANS BOMB ANOTHER HOSPITAL With the British Army in France, May 31.—(By the Associated Press.) —Early on Thursday morning Ger man airmen bombed another hospital —this time a Canadian institution— r.nd exacted a considerable toll of casualties. Among those killed by the explosion or flames was an Am erican medical officer who was ad ministering an anaesthetic to a Brit ish officer in the operating room when that part of the hospital was demolished. The raid occurred at 12.30 o'clock in the morning. The hospital attacked was a large one. It had been in existence since the early days of the war and was mark ed by huge red cross signs. The (German airmen working partly by the light of the moon dropped four bombs near the hospital nnd. then not apparently able to see exactly where they were hittjrg, lignted a brilliant flare which was let tail to illuminate the surroundings. As the place v.as lighted up by this flare, they released another bomb or two, which dropped square!} on a large wing of the hospital. In this wing there were three floors, on the tot tom one of which was the op pt from famine by following the advice of .Jos eph to store grains in years of plenty against a period of drought, was cited by Herbert Hoover, United States tool administrator, in a message to the fed eral food board for New York made public here tonight, announcing the in tention of the government to place in storage every possible kernel that can be saved front the forthcoming wheat harvest. •'With the arrival of a large harvest,” the message said, "some of the most in convenient restrictions no doubt can lie lifted, but we must continue to use some substitutes. So long as the war lasts, with its increasing drafts for soldiers and munitions workers, the world will produce steadily less food. If we are, wise a great harvest will mean the will ing building up of a great national re serve of grain."

LODGE TELLS THE TERMS OF PEACE THIS COUNTRY COULD NOT ACCEPT Boston, May 31.- The terms of peace this country could not accept were set forth by United states ri.-nator Henry Cabot lyodge. senior member ..f the f ir «igri relations committee, in an address tonight a't a dinner given to >1. .lustiii Codari, vice president of the trench Chamber of Deputies, now on a visL to this city. Prefacing his remarks with the stale merit that the only thing to do now n to "fight this war until we win a com plete victory," Senator Iaaige contin ued: "I lay down no terms of peace, but 1 know what is necessary to demonstrate that we have won the war and that is enough when I think how the war will end, for 1 know what things will en 1 the war, "We seek no territory. We have no selfish motives to serve. We are seek ing to protect, as far as we can. out own independence and tire independence of mankind. But we look for the end of the war in these things "First, the restoration of Belgium. We believe that Alsace Lorraine must be returned to France. Italy must have Trentino. We agree most cordially with what the President said in New York when he declared that we were Just as interested in defending Russia In the East as in our own work on the west ern front. If Germany gets Russia and retains possession of it, that is a great German victory, and this war would have been fought in vain. Finally, there must be a free Poland on Russia’s west ern boundary, and a free Jugo-Slay sLAU *n her southwestern boundary.” 4 GERMAN ATTACK ON RIGHT BANK AILETTE IS REPULSED Paris, May 31.—German attacks on French positions on the right bank of the Ailettc river have been re pulsed.

If shipping can be found to care for the anthracite coal just allotted to New Kngland bv the Fuel Admin istration the conditions here next w inter need not be a repetition of last year. A total of 10,331,000 tons, or an Increase of 16 03 per cent, over last year's supply has been arranged on paper, an amount that would pre vent suffering, if it ever reaches its destination. The Fuel Administration sends out warning that the utmost economy must be practiced by i veryone. We are in war limes and fuel of all kinds are in such demand as never before. And. while this demand is increasing the war itself is drawing upon the men who labor In the mines, threat ening the coal production to an alarming degree. It is announced by th° Anthracite Committee and the Fuel Administra tion that a total of 54.34a.783 tons of domestic sizes will he available for distribution this year; an increase of 2,888.323 tons over 1916-57. The Fuel Administrators of the six New Kngland states figured their needs at I".699.100 tons for domestic Teguirements.

As the nation shakes itself down to the tasks of the war, that ex crescence upon our industrial system, the cost-plus method of handling government contracts, is gradually disappearing. It has been as prolific in difficulties as it has been in profits. Out of it arose most of the labor troubles which have marked the first year of the war, and it has been a constantly disturbing feature In all portions of the Industrial pro gram. Its end will bring small la mentation except among those who delight to Figh "Ah! Them was the happy days.” Orders Ahead. The consul general at New Zealand reports a good opening in his terri tory for low-grade explosives for agricultural purposes. This is inter esting hut hardly apropos. Just at present our manufacturers of ex plosives are working hours a day to meet the splendid opening in Ger many for high-grade explosives for Hunnikultural purposes, and the ‘gray hlooin” rovering the shell-torn soil of France gives pretty good evi dence of a development healthy to our cause. As they say "Over there": "It is a hutches dream!” Isn't it a strange circumstance that the people who most loudly proclaim their solicitude for the welfare of the laboring man in America favor a tariff law that encourages the pur chase of the products of the cheap labor of other lands, leaving the American workman with no market for his products?

MILLIKEN’S Speech May 17 at Con ference of Governors Following is a stenographic report of the speech delivered on Ma> 1 1 last at Independence hall, Philadel phia. by Governor Carl E. Milliken of Maine before the conference of Gov ernors held in connection with the convention of the League to Enforce Peace. The governors in attendance were: John G. Townsend of Dela ware; Carl E. Milliken of Maine; Samuel W. McCall of Massachusetts: Thomas W. Bickett of North Caro lina; James M. Cox of Ohio; M. G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania; Richard I. Manning of South Carolina. West moreland D. Davis of Virginia; Ernest Lister of Washington; and John L. Cornwell of West Virginia. Former President Wm. H. Taft pre sided by virtue of his service as gov ernor of the Philippines and called upon all the governors for speeches. Governor Milliken said; Certainly he would be a bold and presumptuous spirit indeed who, aft er the wonderful eloquence of all this program, both here and in the other sessions oi the Academy of Music, would undertake to praise in any new way any of the purposes of this gath ering or the purposes of America in this war. The suggestion regarding Paul Jones coming from my friend, the Governor of North Carolina, is exact ly in point. I happen to recall here that the ship upon which that in trepid admiral sailed, upon which he raised the first Stars and Stripes ever flung to I he breeze on a warship, and from whose deck he received the first salute ever given to that flag by a foreign power was built up in Maine. That was quite typical of the sit uation. We are all in accord. We are all in this war, and I take it. Mr. Chairman, that what lias been asked of us is merely, if you please, a touch of local color from different sections of the country. There is no diversity, of views, there is no difference of opinion. The only interest that could come from such touches of local color would be perhaps to show the differ ent angles from which we have seen and have tome to see the same great truth. In the East, we see the sun earlier in the morning, a (id sometimes other tilings dawn upon us early. And I rather think that this great truth which this magnificent convention has assembled to promulgate and to intensify in the public opinion of America did dawn upon us rather early in New England. It may be be cause our shores look out upon the broad Atlantic, so long the highway of peaceful commerce, and now the possible path of the invader. It may he because of the heritage that is ours, that we have in our veins the blood of the men who came across so many years ago and landed at Ply mouth Rock and the various points along the Atlantic coast. It may tie because the tang of the sea has al ways been in our blood from the time when tiie first ship built upon Ameri can soil v. as built in Maine, the very year that the Jamestown Colony was founded. Ever since then we have had to do with ships, and our busi ness has been largely that of those who go dut I of the game in the 7th with a I sprained knee and am in the hospital j hut for a few days.

Editor’s Table The Kennebec Journal is in receipt of and extends thanks for a copy of 'The Story of the Pullman far,” by Joseph Husband and sent with the compliments of the Pullman Com pany. It is published by A. C. McClurg Co., and is dedicated to George Mortimer Pullman. I: begins with the birth of railroad transportation and carries the reader along in an interesting manner through the appearance and develop ment of the sleeping oar. up to the present day. The trials and tribula tions of Pullman, with his persist ence in seeking after recognition and success is a wonderful tale and all the incidents and side stories woven into the narrative make it still more interesting. It is said also to be a historically correct story of the birth and growth of the Pullman i ar, mak ing it an authority on that subject. It has many illustrations of interest and value. Charles F.

DANGER LURKS IN EVERY ONE OF US We, Are as Full of Deadly Poisons as a Germ Laboratory. AUTO INTOXICATION OR SELF POISONING "FR U IT A Tl VES” Absolutely Pre vents This Dangerous Condition The chief cause of poor health is our neglect of the bowels. Waste matter, instead of passing from the lower intestine regularly every day, is allowed to remain there, generating poisons which are absorbed by the blood. In other words, a person who is habitually constipated, is poisoning himself. We know now that Auto intoxication. due to non-action of the bowels, is directly responsible for se rious Kidney and Bladder Troubles; that it upsets the Stomach, causes Indigestion. Loss of Appetite and Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheuma tism, Gout, Pain in the Back, are re lieved as soon as the bowels become regular; and that Pimples, Rashes, Eczema ano other Skin Affections disappear when Fruit-a-tives’ are taken to correct Constipation.

"Yes, just so." answered the Queen. At Ypres and again the pronouncia tion of "Eepvc." After the regal visitor left, the nurs“. curious to know what Tommy had found to talk about with his Queen, raid; "You had quite a chat with her Majes ty. What did she talk about?" "She didn't talk," replied the soldier, "she just hiccoughed." MONMOUTH 1 Mrs. H. D. Shepard Funeral services for Mrs. Bessie (Col lins) Shepard, wife of Henry n.

In the developments of the story there are many scenes of tremendous .excitement which fairly bring the j audience to us feet. The scenes are laid in a small ir land city which has been dominated for years by a political boss and a j few favorite henchmen, including a, hypocritical minister of the gospel. Tim young man revolts against tin corrupt practices and determines to ckan up the tow n. How he accom plishes this and in addition wins the I love of a beautiful girl is captivai ingly told in a series of highly thrill mg scenes. One. of the lug scenes show a battle and police raids tun j exciting developments. Charles Ray as Jimmy Duncan dir pairs of realizing his ambitions in “ib home town and quits it to make pis j fortune in the city. He returns after a year or two i upon the hreakbeam of a train and j quietly enters his paternal home, I v here he is met hv his father and ac j corded a decidedly frigid .reception, u hereupon he leaves his parents home forever. j In protecting a man from robbery at the hands of gamblers, he is in volved in a fight which provokes a police raid and his arrest and exile, from the city. He now* goes else where and achietes fame as a play wright returning home two years i.i 1 ter to take possession of a newspa per which had been bequeatheu :o him by the father of the girl he I li ves. With this newspaper he runs his political enemies to earth, puts a period to the grafting regime and rehabilitates the community.
