nual town meeting in March. The
land, situated in the very center of
the village and within Il stones throw
of the high and grammar schools has
just been purchased from the Mason
estate by Henry Parsons. Negotia4
tons have been pending for months
for the purchase Of this land but it
WAS generally feared that the trans
fer would not take place because OF
the report that at least one of the
heirs preferred that tho tract be used
AS a park and not as Il playground.

In a pamphlet issued by the Maine
Agricultural experiment station the
result of the inspection of carbonated
beverages and ice cream is announced,
With reference to the alcohol in bev-

of the proprietary articles We're tested
for alcohol and in many instances they
We're found TO carry quite a large
amount. At least, much more than Is
supposed to be present in an ordin-
ary soft drink. The Maine food and
drug law does not require the naming
OF alcohol in foods. The flavor OF some
OF these bottled soft beverages is de
pendent to 4 more or less extent upon
the amount of alcohol present, and
constant use Of some of these con-
tanning approximately one per cent
of alcohol. would quite readily be i
means of developing a taste for alco-
holic beverages. In oae instance bot

they were of medicinal value, and. as
in medicines the percentage of alco-
hol must be stated. it was apparently
adulterated and misbranded."

Mexican rurales are now proceed
ing to Tiajuana, travelling over
American territory with the consent
Of the United States government, for
the purpose OF suppressing the

the scene to clear out the disturbers,
some of the latter may seek refuge
in the United States and commit
depredations on American SOIL For
that reason Secretary Knox appealed
TO the war department to send the
border patrol adequate to protect

TRUST
OPPOSES PEACE
Il Would Mean a Loss Of Business
in WarshIps

Washington, Aug. IA high
official Of the administration init.
mated yesterday that In the final
analysis not an inconsiderable part
OF the opposition to the general arbi.
tration treaties will be found to
come from interests symapthetically
allied with be United States steel
Corporation.
AS assurance OF peace would In.
|eyitably lead to the curtailment OF
plans for building battleships and
this tendency, It was pointed out,
will inevitably be resisted by the
steel interests.

Is the professional senator" element
that the president must defeat II the
treaties are to be ratified without
amendment. IL is this element that
Is standin out for prerogative
rather than for peace. The presi-
dents Ocean Grove address Is recog-
nized here as having sharply defined
the issue which viii be fought out
on the lines laid down between now
and next December. The president
Is believed to have the popular side
of the issue.
In restricted sense the fight
which Is coming will be a repetition
OF the struggle which has just drawn
10 close in England between the
people and an executive and only
nominally representative upper
chamber.
The thought was in the. minds of
the opposition senators-many of
whom are actuated by feeling OF
resentment against the president for
his appeal 10 the people on reciproc-
ity--to secure action at once and
fcrestall this latest appeal to the
people by a ratification of the
treaties IN their amended form. A
survey OF the situation, however,
convinced them that II would be Inn
possible to muster the necessary two
thirds vote 20 achieve this end. Ac-
cordingly action on the treaties will
80 over until December.
Meanwhile the fight will be made
before the country. In this fight the
president hopes TO be able to demon
strate that the people are over
whelmingly in favor Of the treaties
as originally drawn. Side by side
with this demonstration win come
another powerful argument in favor
oi the direct election OF senators.
which has been successfully held up
In conference by the same element
that Is opposing the ratification OF
the treaties. Senators when elected
BY popular vote. Il is believed. would
he less concerned about their pre-
negatives. and more responsive to
the wishes Of the people. and the
general welfare OF the country. than
they are under the present methods
Of elections.
