Splendid Gift to
New SanatOrium,

| The completion Of the new sana :
torium at Fairfield is now assured
through the generosity of Mrs. Frank
! Chase, who passed to the treasurer of
| the association, "Wednesday, her check
| for $4,000 to be used for this purpose.
This is the second gift of this
amount received of Mrs. Chase. The
Chase Memorial building was made
possible through her help when she
| came to the aid Of the work in a very
critical period, and by gift of $4,000
enabled the society to erect and main
tain a sanatorium building at Fair
field, which was quickly filled and at
the time of its destruction, in July,
there was large waiting list of pa
tients.
1t was because of. this fact that the
association felt it was imperative to
rebuild-and to rebuild on much
larger scale.
Almost Immediately upon the de-
struction of the Chase Memorial
building plans were made to construct
new sanatorium double the size and
capacity of the former structure.
While the new building and equip
nearly $40, 900 and less than $4,000 was
availa BILE, the directors had faith to
believe that the necessary funds would
be forthcoming.
This second gift from Mrs. Chase
coming again at Il critical time gives
great encouragement to those inter-
ested and makes possible the continu-
ance of the invaluable work of this
veritable life saving station. The new
building will also be called the Chase
Memorial building.
1t must not be inferred, however,
that no more funds are needed-s$5000
To $1,000 more will be necessary To
complete and equip this building If
IT is to be dedicated free from debt.
The association is now making a
State wide campaign in an effort to
secure funds to not only complete this
bniIding but to erect cottage for
tuberculosis children and hospital
for advanced eases. Maine has been
sloW-far behind almost all the other
states-in her efforts TO conquer this
disease. but she is now getting arous-
ed to the situation and if more peo-
pie of means would like Mrs. Chase
come forward with generous gifts
hundreds, yes. thousands of bright
young people could be saved from un-
timely suffering and Death.
This is a charity of real worth and
merit which should heartily commend
itself to every good citizen and receive
his generous support.

The Century of Peace.

Is it not as plain as "a FpikeEtaf that
the formal celebration of a century of
peace between two notions is bound to
lead to bloedshed? 1t is upon that
foundation Of cubist ogic that British
suffragettes and labofites and Irish ir-
reconcilables are protesting against
the contemplated ceremonies in con-
neetion with the hundredth ami
versary of the signing of the treaty of
Ghent. We don't fmagfne that Gen
erai Drummond and her Followers are
really convinced that an affirmation OF
Anglo American amity will mean war
with Germany. II is simply too good
an opportunity for throwing a few
stones through a window; and If it
happens to be the windows of the
temple of peace, that doesn't matter.
To sabotage peace mission is pr
quaint novelty and good advertising.
Keeping this fact in mind, we may
steer our way through the argument
that the peace of the world is pro-

that the peace of the world is endan-
gered when two nations express the

present inhabitants of South America.
The Peruvian author finds the Latin
American constitutions ahead of the
Latn-Amerncans themselves. Like the
Mexicans the Latin-Americans have an
Anglo-Saxon basis of government,
whereas they are racially untitled for
such ideas. Nevertheless, these Ameri-
can ideas are too firmly fnbedded to be
uprooted. strong as Latin sympathies
are. peculiar as are the race mixtures
of Europeans, Indians and negroes the
Latin-American takes pride in spirit
of independence, political and social that
resents even the suggestion of paterna-
lism or Interference.
Much stress is laid on the instincts of
the Latin Afnericans, for these give rise
TO the impressions that ultimately de-
termine the national mind. Three ma

American zrepublics-the German peril.
the North American peril and the Japan
ese peril The first AND the last ''periIs''
are really causing less fear than the
North american, according to the 'au-
thor. The German invasion is largely
commercial, and this is not reeented, for
tlet Latin-Americans believe that the
Germans will adapt themselves to the
new country. The Asiatic question,
says, diminishes with the opening or
the Panama canal-for this waterway
brings South America and North Ameri
ca much closer together.
All of this leads up to the criticism
of the Monroe doctrine, the Peruvian
looking on that policy as having out
grown it's capacity as an 'arm of assis-
tance,'' and become IAN arm of inter
vention." This criticism is worth not
