America was never in such a state of Unpreparcdness as it is this moment, /&nd it should neyer be again. i What these opponents to our man- iitactory and sale of war material are \ontending for is not a strict observ- dnce of neutrality by America, but to ‘gain a strict advantage for Germany.

A new soclety has been formed Which calls itself the American Truth soclety, whose object it is to teach the American people how to check the banks from lending money to com- | panies that are manufacturing arms or ammunition for the gllies in this | country. It calculates it every American who is able to Will obtain from the bank a $20 gold pieco and carry it around {in his ;pocket, there would be two bil- Aion in gold coin that the banks would .meed, but. could not get., It is a fine &cheme chould it take to male an end of specio payments and put a high premium on gold. It 1s an audacious scheme under false colors. It doesn't hesitate to as- cert should any win she will be ‘warranted in eollecting an indemnity ®f us for all war material made for Pelligerents when Germany herself has found this very same business under like circumstances most profitable, This Truth society is unAmerican and is untrue to every principle of freedom when it purposes to boycott ‘all the American banks and to aid a forelgn power at our expense. NO ONE KNOWS THE LOSS OF E LIFE. No one knaws what the European war has cost in men during its first year. The losses are mot being pub- lished in full by either government. Great Britain has had about a half million men in Belgium and France and in one month one-seventh of them were put out of service. Germany and her allles are believed to have 9,000,000 under arms and the allles have twice as many to the front and in training. At the Dardanelles Great Britain has had one-half her force put out of ac- tion, or 50,000 men. The New York World cannot be far from the truth when it says: “The act- |ual casualties of the French, Russians, Germans and Austrians are largely ‘conjectured, but when the size of their armies and’the severity of the fight- ing in which they have engaged for the past twelve months are considered, he total casualties of all the powers 'may safely be estimated at between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000.” A large'per cent. of these will get .well, and g0 back to the front, but it the killed and crippled total 4,000,000, a tremendous sacrifice of 1ife it !1s, and the end is not yet. e . pres the world a tragedy horrors so shocking. that the 606,000,- 000 people thay seprésent have been awakened to thotishts of larger ifberty and less autocratic dominion. ple for a century to come. All wars are cruel, but few wars are like this one, really indefensible. This war is not onty changing the map of Europe, it is changing the thoughts of the people and is likely to change the. character of future gov- ernments.

WE HAVE NO COAST DEFENSE. How easy we feel concerning our forts along the coast and our poorly equipped navy and we dream of safety. Tt appears we haven't a fort on the coast of any value because the guns installed in them will not throw a projectile over méven mfles, while, the great warships scross the water car- TV guns whigh will throw shells eleven miles. In view of these facts it may be said we have built a few slaughter pens for our defenders, who are as brave as any men in the world. The guns of the superdreadnaughts of the fighting nations have a range of 21,000 yards, to our 13,186 vards. They could infilet punishment along our whole coast without coming with- in range of, our guns. . Congress in the last fortifications bill appropriated $100,000 for modern- izing sorffe of the antiquated emplace- ments in our various forts, and it ap- propriated §200,000 additional to give our 12 inch guns greater range by cocking them five degrees higher up in_the air. How safé are we? Just safe enough to fall victims to any up-to-date fight- ing nation that ventures to attack our coast. l EDITORIAL NOTES.

The London Daily Mail's correspon- dent at Rotterdam has received in- formation that the Germans intend to resume the offensive in the west shortly on a gigantic scale. “They are now making thorough preparations and are concentrating men and guns in enormous force on the allies’ left wing,” the correspondent says. “The tactics employed with success against the Russians will, it is said, be re- peated. . “The fighting of the near future will be a battle of gugs and victory will rest with the side that has the biggest and the most guns. In addi- tion to the ls-inch howitzers from Austria, the Germans for some time have been making huge guns at Essen. These 15-inch guns, it is said, do not need concrete emplacements. “From Austria and all over Ger- many, guns are being concentrated at various points for the journey to the west. Enormous guantities of am- munition have been stored at Lille and other places and guns will be massed not in tens, but in hundreds. Fhe fire, according to my information,’will be concentrated at one selectedipoint and when, if the plans succeed, the defense has been paralyzed, hordes of infan- try will dash through the = breach. These tactics will be repeated until the enemy achieves his object. “The menace of big guns has now te be faced. The German military ex- perts have concluded that only guns will prevail in trench warfare.” Sergt. Railly’s Experiences. Pembroke people are extending the glad hand to Sergt. W. Reilly, who mhas arrived in town, having been honorably discharged from further military service owing to wounds re- ceived at Hill 60 and the effects of Doisonous_ gases. Sergt. Reilly enlisted in August last and. went to England with the first Canadian expeditionary force, arriving at Salisbury on October 23. At Hill 60 a shrapnel shell hurst just near and a fragment hit him behind the knee. At the same time he was overcome by gas fumes and did not regain consciousness for four days. “The effects of the gas are horrible,” sald Reilly. “One cannot imagine the suffering which that suffocating feel- ing produces after regaining conscious- ness. That feeling did not leave me and even yet I find great difficulty in breathing and cannot sleep at nights.” Rellly still limps badly from his leg wound, but has been assured by his physician that he will completely re- cover. He would gladly go back to fight if he could, he says, but feel quite satisfled that he has done his lit: tle bit. Speaking of his first few d s in the trenches Reilly said that he was excited and terrified and that this feel- ing did not leave him for a week. After that, however, he became hard- ened to it and did not mind it much. “The Germans are splendid shots,” he said. “You would be taking an awful chance if you even rut your little {finger over the top of the trenches. The death of one’s comrades makes one even more eager for fght. Bayonet fighiing is the worst of all. It's no joke Yo see eight or ten bay- onets coming at you full force. Some- times when you get too close to your adversary to use your bayonet you have to resort to your pugilistic skill. In one instance I used a pocket knife, which did great work. It is upstairs now and has blood stains on it yet. “Often we could hear the Germans singing Tipperary in their trenches |, We would then start singing O Can- @da, and that would make them mad.” Reilly says all the boys are high in their praises of what the Canadian women are doing for them. He was speaking to some German prisoners who said that they had no doubt that the allies would win in thesend. “Some of the poor beggars are only too glad to give themseives up,” sald Sergt. Reilly in conclusion, Blessing of Washington. “This memorandum,” he asserts, only issued after it was established that no German ships could take ad- vantage of the eame. Guns of this calibre are perfectly able to guarantee the destruction of a submarine, and thus 'Washington pronounces its bles: ing on Churchill's armed merchant vessels.” A Criminal Measure. Captain Persius adds: “We now know that Cb:.rlcgm'a criminal meas- ure was gene: accepted by the admiraity. The claim that England is fighting for subsistence means that for England morals are silenced. This accords with the Enslish battical Stories of the War traditions, but not with those of the United States. “The United States now _becomes a partner of Englami's unscrupulous- ness. This memorandum is a direct blow to international law and a vio- lation of neutrality designed to giv a tremendous advantage to England. Aeroplanes That Are Invisible. Germany possesses invisible aero- planes, according to the Cologne Gazette. The wings are made of clear traneparent material called cel- lon, which is the invention of a Ger- man engineer named Knaubel. Cellon, which is manfactured from cellulose and acetic acid, is tough, pliable and non-inflammable and is used instead of canvas. A machine covered with cellon is sald to he virtually invisible above an altitude of 3,000 feet. Herr Knaubel made his first experiments with the material two years ago. Where the Generals Stop. Percival Phillips sends the following to the London Daily Express from the British general headquarters: Many people think that a general sits in a drawing room or on a hil side during a battle, and miles be- hind it, sticking little flags into maps and receiving despatches from blood-stained orderlies. To some falls this duty, but the brigadiers are in the thick of every fight, for they must be close behind the bat- talions they direct, and everything de- pends on them. Generals who run this war do live in houses, for the battiefield of west- ern Europe is a network of towns and villages, but the brigadier often gets a house without a roof, and sometimes with no walls to speak of, for the enemy have deit thoroughly with it. Occasionally he finds a build- ing fairly intact and establishes him- self in it, but he is usually: shelled— as often as not by accident—and then he has to diz himself in, like his men. My journey to the front on this particular day had taken me through all the phases of “headquarter life,” from the quiet surroundings of - the central organizations of the British army in the fleld to this devastated estate, which was so close to the Gegman trenches, that one could have shobted to the enemy. As you get nearer and nearer the front you find headquarter life a little rer and a little more hazardous. st, there is the army commander and 'his staff, billeted in a moated mansion beyond sound of the guns. Drive a few miles towards the enemy, and you will find the corps generai comfortably but not gaudily ensconced in a village—maybe in one of th cramped - public buildings or with a school or a iaundry as his map room. Tragic Contrasts, Continue your journey, and you discover the genepal of division liv- ing in the zone of possible bombard- ment. His chateau is habitable but pitter here and there by shells. The park contains dugouts, which are ueed occasionally. Divisional headquarter routine is frequently disturbed by the morning and evening hail of the en- emy’s long-distance guns. Then you motor on, following roads that are regularly shelled, passing one destroyed village after another, and finally finding the brigade head- quarters, in an area where life is very precarious at times, and death comes suddenly out of a clear sky. 1 thought of these contrasts as I walked through the flelds while the brigadier talked about the kaleido- scopic changes wrought by war. “A curlous business aitogether,” he ‘was “saying. “One night 1 was on leave, dining with my family in Lon- don, ‘and exactly twenty-four hours later I was back fighting like hell near—" We passed a broken gate at_the end of the tree-lined track. Four officers were blown to pleces there by a stray howitzer shell two days ago as they passed on their way to dinner. You can see their graves there. An- other officer was Writing & note in a ground-floor room when a shell crashed through one corner, killing him and wiping away that end of the building. Death is alwaye lurking among the trees where the birds sing cheerily. “Billy” Fitzgerald's Fifty-thres Cents in Canadian Coin. ‘When the commission for Relief in Belgium, at 71 Broadway, New York, found early in the spring that it had more than e sufficient supply of cloth- ing for the meedy Belgians, it turned over some of its superfluous stock to organizations _assisting other nom- combatants.

(Signed) one little them was found, and it may possibly tell a story of boyish self-sacrifice that might never have been told but for the watchfulness of an employe of one of the organizations. In the pocket of a little pair of knee- breeches was found an envelope, Which was inscribed, “From Billy Fitzgerald for a Belglan Boy.” In this envelope were three Canadian dimes, a half- dime and eighteen big Canadian cents —a total of fifty-three cents. “Billy's” contribution was in a case of clothing sent from Halifax, Nova Scotia (Halifax papers please copy), but further than this, the Commission has been unable to identify him. That “Billy” is & big-hearted little fellow there can be doubt, and if he ever learns through the newspapers that his gift was not lost he may also learn that the Commission for Relief In Bel- gium will see to it that the money is expended just as he wished it to be, and that he will also have the grat- itude of a little Belglan boy for his generous gift. OTHER VIEW POINTS l “Let neutrals stay away from belli erent territory,” writes Inez Milhoi- land Boissevain from Rome, “and let war be extended 1o ell the nations, oon-combatants included.” She finds the “bitterness that exists here in Rome discouraging,” but defending gas bombs, the treatment of Belgium, and the sinking of the Lusitania is not the most tactful thing in a country at war. But what is a neutral like Mrs. Bois- sevain doing in belligerent territory? —Springfield Republican. Not much tobacco is raised in Mid- dlesex county, at least not in the soutbern section of it. However, years ago, the late Lozelle Platt made quite & success of it on his farm in the Plains section of Winthrop, and there is still considerable tobacco grown in the Haddams. In the north end of the county, though, in Cromwell and Portland, & good many acres are de- voted to the cultivation of the weed; in fact, there is one farm of about fifty acres in Cromwell which is said to have this season as flue a lot of tobacco as can be found anywhere in Connecticut. There is good money in tobacco culture, but one must have capital and be willing to take risk in engaging in it—Deep River New Era. Benator Penrose is reported as say- ing recently that any unknown man named Adam Aaron could poll 100,000 votes in Pennsylvania if he could get his name upon the ticket. His name from the nature of it would come fi upon _the alphabetical list, and thous. ands of voters would vote it on that account, never looking or caring for anything bat who might be the first man upon the list. Of one of the long ballots where there are half a dozen parties, each with hilf a hundred candidates, this would undoubtedly be approximately true, for the work of going over the whole layout in the short time that can be given to the matter is disheartening, and the easi- est way out of the difficulty is to vote for the first man on the list and let it go at that—Bridgeport Standard. Eventually we shall probably come to the European view, and let soclety as a whole take care of the aged and incapacitated workers who have not been able to acquire a competence, enabling them to end their lives in modest comfort without any taint of charity. The most satisfactory pen- sion systems, however, appear to be those in which the workers themselves have a share of the responsibility, con- tributing a stated proportion of their wages as they would pay the pre- mium on an “endowment policy” of an insurance company, and having a voice in the control of the pension fund. Such a system is more condu- cive to self-respect than one in which the empioyer or the state pays the whole expense. It is to be assumed, of course, that the workers receive enough wages to enable them to make the requsite payments.—Torrington Register. THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Soclety “Kholm, or Chelm, as the Poles spell it, has been one of the most in- teresting of Polish towns under Ru: sian administration, for from th quiet corner of subject Poland the government program for the russifi- cation of the Poles has been directed, descriptive statement issued by tional Geographic Society. “Just over the Russian oorder, surrounded acres of forest and agri- d, the whole region in which it les is possessed of but indif- ferent means of communicatior, and, screened fro mthe feverish, suspi clous politics of Warsaw and other Po- lish centers, Kholm, in peace times was & strategic point of rare advan- tages for the propagation of Russia influences. “The Russian ideals, the Russian tongue, Russian methods and the Rus- stan_ religion entered Poland by way of Kholm, and from here painstaking efforts were made to spread them among all the peasantry. The Russian point of view has sought to penetrate by way of the Kholm-Lublin-Ivango- rod railway line, and from here, too, it has made its way south, even beyond the Galician borders to the great Polish city of Lemberg. Thus, Kholm, which the Russian soldiers defended s0_splendidly, was a Russian strons- hold in more senses than one. It was the sentimental and intellectual heart of the Russian program in Poland. “Kholm is the seat of a Russian bishop. The national Greek Church, though it claims but few. followers over the Polish boundary, is here strongly intrenched. The city sup- Pports & number of Greek churches, and an Ecclesiastical Seminary long found- ed here offers to the Poles and to Rus- sian missionaries to the Poles the learning of the Greek Church.

It was founded by Danlel, Prince of Galicia, as business headquarters for rich fam- ily estates. It is today, a living spec- imen of archaeology, with the rallway running through it 3s one of the few reminders of the modern age. The shell fire of today shaking this out- of-date, time-sleepy city must cause an uncarny realization among its cit- izens of the strides that the ages have made since Kholm last came Into im- mediate contact with the outside world. The city, most of which was built without a plan, provides a home for 20,000 people, and, before the out- break of the war, provided an arsenal, a quiet but powerful source of Tussifi- cation plans and sinews. “Lublin, the important manufactur- ing town of this part of Russian Po- land, lies 45 miles west-northwest of Khoim by the Kief-Warsaw Railway. Kholm forms the south termination of the strategic raiiroad that runs be- hind the last line of Russian defense in Poland, that north-and-south line of the Bug, reenforced, and continued north from the Bug, by the Kholm- Brest Litovsk-Bieostok-Osowlec Rail- way. Its possession, therefore, is of great military importance. The coun- try around Kholm grows an abundance of grains, and is, also, very rich in its production of other agricultural products. Pultusk—A description of Pultusk, where the Russian line stiffened just nor of Warsaw, and where the Rus- sians developed a mighty opposition to von Hindenburg’s advance, was given out here today by the National Geographic Society: “It was at Pultusk, on the morth bank of the River Narew, that Charles X1 of Sweden, won his celebrated victory over the Saxon armies, the flower of which he besieged in the great castle, whose remains are still the first feature of the fortress town. This victory was won in 1703 to fur- ther Charles’ ideas as to how the re- public of Poland ought to be governed. Pultusk was again the fleld of a great battle action, when, in 1806, the ir- resistible, triumph-drunken legions of Napoleon swept all before them out of the strongholds here. This battie was fought over the icy flelds of De- cember, when morass and swamp be- come solid foundations of frozen dark earth. “Pultusk is one of the important fortified towns, which, spread out fan- wise, guard Warsaw from the north and west. It lies 33 miles north of the metropolis, with the Narew River at its back and the Bug fifteen miles to the south. While strongly defended, it does not compare in the power of its works with Novo Georgievsk or Ivangorod. It is, however, one of the important gates on that line toward the capital, which takes its way from East Prussia over Mlawa, Ostrolenka and Przasnysz. “The town, with a present popula- tion of about 20,000 has ehared in the Polish industrial spurt, It was almost MalieYour Skin Soft and Clear EASTLAND DISASTER Vivid Scenes Taken When the Boat Capsized TODAY AND TOMORROW DUSTIN FARNUM in CAMEO-KIRBY 5—Reels—5 FIFTH EPISODE Paramount Travel Pictures THE BROKEN COIN #5305 %une *A Visit to Interest Points in Florida ] DAVIS THEGNS ROADWAY Last Chance to See the Big Singing Novelty Capt.

This decrease is due to the low price of copper in 1918. It is estimated that up to the close of 1914 Alaska has produced minerals to a total value of $268,150,000, of which $244,156,000 represents the value of the gold output.
