Senator Gardeners Explanation.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
My attention has been called to sc
called news item emapating from
Washington in which it is stated that
Senator Johnson and myself voted
against the Sherwood Pension bill in
the Senate on the Goth of March. A
reference to the Congressional Record
shows the manifest error in this state
ment
In the first place the Sherwood blu
has never been before the Senate to
come to vote The Sherwood bill
passed the House of Representatives
and came to the Senate where it was
referred to the Committee on Pensions.
It was reported back to the Senate
with what is known as the Smoot
amendment and was in effect a substi-

The News from China.

DIR. j. B. Woods, foreign supcrinten-
dent of the famine relief work, reports
1000 Chinese dying daily from hunger.
This fact does not seem to disturb the
world greatly, but here is one that
does:
Charles NJ. Schwab, president of the
bethlehem Steel Corporation, was sue
eessful in securing contracts for build
ing Chinese battleships ON his visit to
China last year. and these contracts
would be lived up to by the new Gov
eminent. it was inferred yesterday
from remarks made by Mir. Schwab in
speaking Of conditions in China. He
said that while he did not care to
make any definite statement on the
subject, 1t was almost certain that
China no matter which faction Won in
the present upheaval, would begin the
construction of a new navy rs soon
as her internal affairs We're more set
tied, and that large proportion of the
new battleships would be built in this
country. and that the steel and armor
plate used in their construction would
be manufactured by American steel
companies"
Now. we guess, America and Europe
viii sit up and take notice of the
many reasons for rejoicing, jeliousies
and envy. to say nothing of the pros
poets of another great world navy in
these days when we are talking uni

NOW do you understand why the

Do you fully understand that ii

Is it not perfectly plain to you
that Richardson was removed so that
