Lessons of the Conflict

A Paris dispatch says: The military
consequences of the fall of Antwerp
are not so great as the lesson to be
learned therefrom of the futility OF
permanent Notifications. This opinion
is expressed by Lieut.. Col. Rousset,
who says that it will be necessary to
abandon entirely this sort of defence
and replace it with some rude works
of easy and quick construction, which
can be placed anywhere according TO
the need of the hour. Then, he says,
shells. because of absence of resist
ance, would cause only small damage.
Never, he declares, has country been
saved by its Notifications while there
are those whose fortresses have been
their ruin. Col. Rousset continues:
ITO speak only of that which con-
Germs us. it is permissible to aflrm
that If Metz had been in 1870 an open
CITY. Bazaine would not have sent
forth from there his magnificent army,
for the subsequent loss of which ne
was condemned TO death and did act
ually suffer Imprisonment. Belgium
believed itself protected by its triple
barrier of Liege, Namur and Antwerp
Alas, it was not. No more are we
with Maubeuge or the Austrians with
Lemberg and Przemysl. The real
safeguard of a nation is an effective
military force that can stay an army
of invasion"
Now that Germany's war on Beigi-
UNI has netted her the city OF Ant
werp. we wonder If she will "fortify
the city. If modern forts crumble IKE
eggshells before modern siege guns,
why is Germany infiicting this awful
destruction on Belgium at ail-why did
she not begin the war by attacking
France direct? On Aug. 4, the German
Imperial Chancellor declared that Ger
many violated the neutrality of Bel
GUM because the eastern frontier Oh
France was 80 strongly fortified"
When doctors disgrace the friends
of the patient stand aghast, but they
sometimes note the pretense. just now
we who do not love war are puzzled
to know why the experts have been
constructing ''invincible" forts for all
nations. Have the experts been de-
ceiving themselves, sor only deceiving

The fish can breathe or extract oxygen
from the water. Why should not men in
submarines be able to do the same thing
and thus make it possible to stay under
the surface for weeks? 1t is Thomas A.
Edison who asks the question on the oc-
casion of his first visit on a battleship
and in a submarine on Saturday, and he
answers it nonchalently with: at can be

The Appie Market.

City buyers of good apples find it
hard to believe, when they are paying
from 40 to rs cents per peck, that
Maine fruit raisers are receiving only
40 to 75 per barrel for raising, picking
and packing the fruit. Letters from
former Maine people say they can get
nothing that looks like an apple for
less than 25 cents peck; they wonder
how the middlemen and retailers so
successfully keep the buying price
down and the selling price UP. A New
York man writes to Maine papers (giv-
ing an address so indefinite as to rem
der his communication questionable) ::
In the Newark IN. j. Evening News

A Bates College woman writes the
Lewiston Journal: "A Bates College
professor, speaking at a banquet in
Portland a few days ago, echoes the
philosophy of barbarism and anti-de-
luvianism, according to some thinkers
of today; first in dragging God into re-
sponsibility for the cussedness of wars,
and second, in attributing to war the
development of great men and other
value. There are growing numbers of
people, today, who are possessed of
enough practical Christianity to stick
TO the Christ ideal of character and
life to discern that the development
of greatness and of all things of real
value may be Won through that hero

wrong. spiritual values and material

Shooting In City Limits.
n. Kennehec Journal.

Editor Kennebec Journal:
/ live on Murray street, about 200
feet from the woods on Quimby
street. Nearly every day l hear
the crack of rifle shots from once
to a dozen times, and il seems to
me very funny that grown-up men
will discharge firearms in a place
of this kind, which is frequented so
much by children and ladies, and
20 houses within rifle shot.
Today | met a boy about a dozen
years of age, surrounded by chill
dren on the street. with a rifle
swinging around in his hands. Why
parents allow a child of that age
TO nave a gun is a mystery which
/ cannot explain. / suppose it is
thoughtlessness on their part, and
not a feeling that their child is
safe, even if other children are not.
Can't we have this shooting bus
mess within the city limits stopped,
before we are obliged to gaze upon
some mangled form, whose life has
been destroyed by a gun in the
hands Of a careless hunter?
Augusta, Oct. II, 1914.

The complaint of our correspondent
is reasonable. If parents are needless
then the city should step in and pro-
tect the homes Of the city from ire

difference to citizen or those Deepen

purpose or by a careless
or incompetent person handling fire

breeders. He has himself at different
times carried on series of expert
ments in breeding the mink from spec
linens of the race in captivity, and has
made a careful study of the habits OF
the animals. He has also been in
touch with the United States and Ca

lieves that mink farming could be car

great profit There is practically an un-
