given of the country and its customs,

said of relations with the Turks, and
the book has peculiar Importance

Editorial Comment
The Worst Record.
(Boston PoSt)

tfppSlpl iOStD
1t hardly needed the corroboraten OF
the War Department. figures To show
that the record of aviation fatalities IN
the United States army is the worst III
the world. Whether this is from TOO
great devotion to duts or from TOO
much careiessness, the facts are rather
depressing.
Unfortunately" says the CHER sig
nal officer of the army, "eashaleies are
given much more prominent places IN
our publications than the praiseworthy
achievements" This is but natural
and it is certainly not unfortunate.
The killing of an army aviator Is d
matter of grave pablo concern AS a
warning, the spreading of the news
has its perfectly proper uses 1t IS, Oh
course, given more prominence than
the routine and expected accomplish
ments of the fliers. A river that flows
placidly along within its banks Is not
a good news story: when 1t bursts
into flood it gets some attention.

Congressman Goodwin.

The report flashed over Maine
Wednesday noon, that Hon. Forrest
Goodwin, Third district representative
to Congress, was near deaths door at
a Portland hospital, carried heartfelt
grief to many homes and sorrow to
thousands. In spite of that warning
the announcement shortly after that
the congressman had gone to his re-
ward, came as shock. To those who
had known him well and especially
those who had followed his career OF
tremendous energy and vitality, the
news could hardly be credited; that he
had been cut down in the very height
Of a brilliant and useful career.
Forrest Goodwin has been loved and
respected from boyhood to the ma
tional law making body, by all who
came in close contact with him. His
genial personality. his rugged honesty.
his leveable character. were supported
by rare tact, splendid common sense
and spirit of absolute justice. His
ability as an orator and his power OF
leadership and organization have been
known to all Maine since his college
days; they were demonstrated from
baseball field to forensic arena and in
the wider field of politics.
We should do less than our part did
we not credit the result in Names last
election in no small measure to the
clean-cut and brilliant campaign which
Candidate Forrest Goodwin waged.
In both houses of the Maine Legisla-
ture Forrest Goodwin had distinguish
ed himself and proven a credit to his
district and his party. His high stand
ing as a lawyer was recognized by
bench, bar and public. In the last half
dozen years he had handled success
fully cases involving both important
legal principles and large financial in
terests.
The death at this time of her able
and loyal son, is severe blow TO the
interests and hopes of Maine. He had
been marked for bright and useful
career in the service of his State and
nation. We bow to the decree of i'm
mutable Providence but our hearts are
sad and our disappointment uncon-
cealed.z

One of the troubles of most European
armies Is that those soldiers who can get

plosive cordite as If 1t were sort OF
chewing gum. Its popularity is due to
the fact that when chewed in small
quantities it has a stimulating and ex-
hilarating effect, like small doses of al
cohol. Its taste. too, is sweet, cordite
being three-fitths nItrogycerin. an ex-
plosiye which is sugary to the taste.
When ehewed in large quantities cordite
becomes powerful in it's effects, bringing
on bissful state of ecstasy, and some
times making the victim of the habit see

lies in the fact that though nitrogfycerin
