CONCERNING A "BEST SELLER

"The Clarion" by Samuel Hopkins
A dams, recent accession to the books
in the Free Library, was listed last week
as one of the six "best Sellers" 1t ap-
peals to the general reader as we'll
told story, full of incident, of tragedy
that appeals to ones sympathies, and
as a happy ending for the principal
c haracters. What more could the sea-
oned novel reader desire? But there is
much of interest IN the book aside from
the story it tells. 1t deals with a GER
ain phase of the patent medicine indus
try, and in this connection it may be re-
called that Mr.. Adams is the man who
exposed the patent medicine frauds and
was primarily responsible for the Pure
Food and Drug Act. In the first chapter
we are introduced to peripatetic vender
of sure cures, whose glib tongue enables
him to sell his wares in the country towns,
and who later is a millionaire manufac-
turer of various so-called remedies. This
part of the book will no doubt interest

THE WAR NEWS.

Reports from many unofficial sources
received last week told of great Rus
sian victory in Poland and of celebra-
ton in Petrograd. They lacked off cial
confirmation, however, and later news
indicates that while no really decisive
engagement had taken place, the Ger
mans were getting into a posi- ton from
which it was hardly possible to extricate
themselves without heavy loss.
believe that Field Marshal Won linden
burg's forces have been split into three
units, one of which certainly is almost
completely enveloped, while the Russians
have driven wedge between the Ger
man army and its Austrian ally in the
region of Cracow. They declare that
the Germans have consistently under
estimated the qualities of their Musco-
vite opponents and have opposed them
with body composed almost wholly of
second line troops, but are now rushing
heavy reinfOrcements from the western
line to avert Polish Sedan. They ex-
press the opinion that the issue depends
on whether these reinforcements arrive
in time.
In the western war zone comparative
quiet has prevailed. No reports of heavy
fighting have been recorded there in sew
eral days, although there have been in
termittent artillery duels and at various
places small infantry encounters.
Yesterdays papers brought the
news that the Germans had succeed
ed in fighting their way out OF the Rus
sian trap with heavy losses, and that
desperate fighting continued. The bat
tie in Poland is now being fought out I'M
der the eyes of the German Emperor on
the one side and the Russian Emperor on
the other
1t appears that fighting for their very
lives, and in the knowledge that great
defeat would end the German defensive
and compel them to fall back on their
own frontiers, the German troops sue
ceeded in breaking through the Russian
lines at one place and at another in hold
ing their entertainments against all the
Russian attacks. All their TANKS are
still being harassed by the Cossacks, but
seemingly the Russians are not now In
position to gain the sweeping victory
they had anticipated.
In the west, although the German otfi
cial report says there is nothing to COM
municate, the French official statement
notes somewhat lively cannonading in
Belgium and German activity to the
north of Arras. This may mean that the
Germans have commenced, or are about
to commence, another attempt to get
through to the French ports. London
military men hold opposing views. One
side believes that the Germans will rest
content, holding their present positions
until the battle in Poland is er. The
other looks for an immediate resumption
OF the battle in Northern France and
Flanders.

and coal to the nation is in their relation
to manufactures

and coal to the nation is in their relation
to manufactures
The wide distribution of ores of the
principal metals sufficiently rich and ex-
tenslve to be mined in large quantities
means that the metallurgical industry is
important on both the Pacific and the
Atlantic seaboard, in most of the Rocky
Mountain States as we'll as in several of
the Middle States. Even in the two
metals Which at once suggest to US CEN
trallzatlon-copper and steel-there is
widespread production. In the mining
OF copper last year % States contributed,
and no less than % States furnished iron
ores to the furnaces of the country
The raw material resources of this
country are SO widely distributed that
industry has been developing at this
rapid pace at many points. The ten
dency is away from geographic central
lzatlon OF industry rather than toward
1T. A few opportunities for expansion
need only to be suggested: the South
with Its happy combination of coal and
Iron ore in the same districts makes pig
Iron production possible at minimum
cost; the West with it's hydro-electric
possibilities available as a source of rel
atlvely cheap power for chemical and
metallurgical industries; the Rocky
Mountain region with its vast unutilized
sources of sulphuric acid and equally
great unmined stores of phosphate rock.
The ingredients necessary for produc-
ing prosperity appear at hand. The new
financial system already promises more
mobile credits. A more sympathetic at
tltude OF the public toward big industri-
al operations is indicated. The effici-
ency OF American labor and American
engineering was never questioned.
In any estimate of American ability to
make the most of the present opportun-
tiles for industrial expansion, no better
measure of the inventive genius of this
country can perhaps be found than in
moments review of what is making the
European war so terrible. Strictly neu-
tral may we be, yet from the heights
above to the depths below we find Amer
lean inventions lat the front''-the aero
plane, the magazine rifle and machine
gun, the barbed wire, and the supma-
rlne and its torpedo. Can not our nation
lead as we'll in fashioning the tools of
peace as in designing the machines of
war?

A TRAGIC DEATH.
A Young Bucksport Man Caught in a
Crank-Shaft and Instantly Killed.

BUCKsPoRT, Nov. 80. Guy Delano, "a
years old, of this town, fireman on the
tug Walter. Ross of Bangor, met tragic
death early this morning when he was
pinned by the rapidly revolving crank
shaft while attempting to oil the engine.
His skull was crushed and the machinery
tore cruelty at his shoulder, arm and
back. Delano was married but months
ago, his bride being Miss Letter Glasen
of Millville, who survives him. He was
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Delano of
Verona Island and had several brothers.
Coroner A. B. Ames. who was called
when the tug came into the harbor here
with her flag at half mast, made a
thorough investigation and decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
The Walter Ross was off Stockton
harbor at 6 o'clock Monday morning
when Delano started to oil the crank
shaft bearings. The rest of the crew
was eating breakfast. Suddenly it was
noticed that something was the matter
with the engine. The machinery slowed
down appreciably as though something
had caught in it.
Delano was dead when they found him.
AS quickly as possible the engine was
stopped and his mangled body removed
to the deck. Then the Walter Ross put
on a full head of steam and started for
Bucksport.

PoNTo, GENERAL GRANTS DOG
RY GEORGE M. RITTER,

Ponto was the St. Bernard dog who
epioved the confidence ard friendship of
no less a celebrity than General U. S.
Grant, who brought him to this country
from France in 1877, when he was but a
few months old. AS it was against the
rules of the ship to accommodate dogs
among the first class passengers the
General carried the puppy on board in
his coat pocket, intending to keep him
hidden in his stateroom until New Y ork
was reached.
But the captain learned of the dog s
presence shortly after leaving port and
would have cast him into the sea had it
not been for the earnest protests of the
General and the other passengers. Ponto
was given the freedom of the ship and
completely won the captain ov er with his
graceful antics.
He was General Grants constant COM
panion for eight years, or up to the time
of the latter's death, in 1885. He. ac-
companied the General on his walks, and,
when the latter became so wasted and
weakened by the disease that caused his
death that he could not leave the piazza
of the cottage he occupied at Mount Nc
Gregor, Ponto passed whole days doing
and watching beside the chair of his dying
master, as if he realized that they soon
must part and was determined to remain
faithful until the end.
After General Grants death Ponto be-
gan to NOPE, and, having no suitable
place to keep him, Mrs. Grant sent him
to the country place of General Adam
Badeau, at Haines Falls, in the Catskills.
Ee became the companion and friend of
his new master, who left instructions at
his death that when Ponto, in his turn,
passed away, he should be buried by the
roadside in what is now Onteora Park,
and that a monument with a suitable
inscription should be erected to mark his
grave. The lettering on the stone shows
that the dog was born in Chamouni, in
1877, and that he died in Tannerville in
1898.

Industrial Opportunities.

EXTRACTS from address by Geo. Otis Smith
Director, United States Geological Survey
before American Institute Chemical Engineers
! Philadelphia, Pal
Four constituents enter into the reac'
| ton that we term industry. Two OF
these, brain and Drawn, are organic COM
pounds and two are perhaps to be regard
ed as inorganic-money and material.
None of these components is wanting
here in the United States, and in fact
their abundance affords the best reason
for an optimistic outlook upon the pres
ent industrial situation. Of these four
constituents, labor and capital and brains
are all more easily transported generally
than the,crude materials, upon large ton
nages of which the industry must de-
pend. Thus, cheap coal attracts manu-
facturers just as cheap land attracts
farmers.
With distribution of raw material is
linked the influence of markets upon the
loca ton of industry. The development
of transportation systems makes the
problem Of. markets a most complex one.
The industrial independence of the small
community of century ago has given
way to the system under which your
dinner table may represent the tribute
from several continents. Even in coun-
try so diversified as ours in its natural
bountles domestic production of every
thing consumed is not desirable nor prof
table. Exchange of commodities with
foreign countries becomes necessary, so
it follows that industrial independence is
the goal toward which nation should
face, but not goal which it should have
either the intention or desire to attain.
To increase industrial prosperity this
country needs to export finished rather
than crude products and to import raw
materials rather than manufactures. 1t
is the product of American labor rather
than the bounty of our natural resources
that preferably should go into the worlds
markets. As the engineers of America
study this matter of expansion of manu-
featuring, it becomes evident that the
distribution of raw material and of
power is the key to industrial opportuni-
ties.
Petroleum and natural gas in their
distribution in some degree supplement
coal. Thus the largest oil field, both in
present production and probable reserve.
is in California, State with only negligi-
BILE coal resources. Taken together,
these mineral fuels constitute national
asset comparable with the soil resources
of this country, but the largest part of
the value of the natural gas, petroleum,

on the community. A leading New York
dailv has for it's motto: "All the News
That's Fit to Print" That expresses 1t.
What would happen in community II
every ore, in place of exchanging the
common courtesies of life, should ex-
press their real sentiments? The inva-
lid instead of being told that he was
looking better would be assured that ne
had not long to live, and few sauta-
ton like that would send we'll man
home to die. That illustrates the pos
itions of the newspaper. 1t must, or
should. sometimes make the worst ap-
pear the better side; and yet, in STRIVING
for the good of the community, be 'un-
awed by influence and unbribed by gain. -
