weeks the two-by-four editor of
the Winslow Mail breaks out
afresh in a third attempt to
white wash Judge Sapp's coat OF
many colors. And with a strong
solution of the Nails patented
brand of purifying balsam, the
scribe for the hookworm editor
sallies forth again in an endeavor
to clean Sapp's coat of any stain
of commercialization of official
paper. However, in his attempt
ed explanation of the discrepan-
cies in the demands against the
county, made by the Holbrook
News, in which Sapp was inter-
ested, the scribe kicks over the
balsam and smears the white
wash over everything, including
the pretty coat of many colors,
leaving it dirtier than before, and
daubing his linen everywhere.
Referring to the sample de-
mands of the News, mentioned
in the March Fl issue of the
HERALD, and which was trimmed
to an honest amount by the SUI
pervisors, the scribe dismisses
the matter with fippant state
ment that the Mail is reliably in
formed, etc., that when present.
ed for payment a dispute arose
over the size of certain legal
blanks comprising most of the
bill trimmed S154.00, as to
whether the blanks consisted of
two or six pages; and that the
account was presented later, and
settled. 1t certainly was settled,
but not paid. The scribe init
mates that the supervisors could
only count two" but that the
print shop DEVILS ability was
three times as much. There is
no record to substantiate the
Mail informant's broad daylight
pipe-dream. True, the News
attempted to collect by repeating
the items on later demands, but
the supervisors never learned
how to count with the print devil,
Notwithstanding the lobying of
Judge Sapp and his chief hench-
man, j. E. Cox.
I The second sample met a SIM
liar fate. The first claim was
$138. 80 and was trimmed $23. 25.
A month later the items repre-
senting the $23. 25 were repeated
for SLIPS, but died of natural
causes when presented to the su-
pervisors. Poor counting again.
The Nails informant had no
pipe-dreams concerning the re-
funds made to the county by the
News, and we wonder why?
We never have believed Sapp's
commercialization of his official
power would bankrupt the county
but it is the principle and meth
DDS, rather than the amounts, that
we condemn. And when COM
pared with his policy of auditing
bills and ordering their payment,
for notices that he himself had
ordered published in newspaper
in which he was heavily inter-
ested, the whole matter of county
contracts sinks into insignifi-
canoe. We refer particularly to
the settlement of estates. The
law provides that certain notices
must be published, and that the
court must order them, and it is
in his discretion to order more.
The News certainly has done a
goodbusinessinthislinedu during the
, last two years, and the Mail will
not gainsay it unless given to
more pipe dreams. AS shining
example of an estate that has
contributed we'll in such notices.
we refer particularly to the one
left by the late Loui Ghuey. He
also left widow and a minor
heir.

New York, Sept. 25.--A tale Of war
fare from the British camp in France,
vivid with description of the way the
English forces face death on the bat.
tleaeld, of the jokes they cracked and
the prayer they said with the bullets
sweeping their ranks, was brought to
New York today by the Rev. James
Molloy, native of Trenton, N. j., who
served as chaplain for several weeks
with one of the British regiments in
France and returned home today on
the Mauretania.
In modern battle there Is an over
powering sense of unreality," he said.
"The business of seeing men kill
each other seems mechanical because
of the preponderance of the machine
element in the affair; the human ele-
ment simply bleeds and dies, but the
machines continue in their perfection
of slaughter.
"The conduct of the English and
Irish soldiers in the trenches was sur.
prising. There those men stood be-
hind shoulder-high mounds of dirt fac
ing level sprays of death in 'front.' yet
cracking jokes and singing snatches Of
music hall songs between volleys. Stu
pendous bravery call it, or stupen-
dous absence of nerves.

perhaps the night fight Is the most
weird and, terrible. In this the forces
of the allies had the superiority

aeroplanes The allied forces on the
lines from Mons to Senlis had 35 aero

but particularly at night.
"You would hear scurrying of In
visible propellers overhead and by
straining your ears could trace the din
OF the night flyer over the German
positions. Gunners stand ready behind
their pieces keyed up to wire pitch
of efficiency.
Suddenly a spark appears in the
heavens; it falls. The airmap has dis
covered the position of the German
battery and his falling torch makes
the range and the position. Instantly
the British guns roar and a shower of
shells scars up TO follow the line OF the

.LAU05 WATERWAY
As NAVAL DEFENSE
SECRETARY DANIELS Is IN FAVOR
OF CANAL CLEAR ACREsS
THE NATION.

Albany. ~ Y, Sept 25.-What the
proposed great inland waterway from
Massachusetts bay to the Rio Grande
would mean to the nation In time OF
war was discussed here today by Sec
retary Da iels of the navy department
before the convention of the Atlantic
Deep Waterways association.
mot only will this waterway lend it.
self tremendously to the development
of internal commerce and tend to
bring down the rates of transporta-
tion," said Mr.. Daniels. but 1t also
provides unusual facilities for self-de-
tense in time Of war. In any conflict
between nations which have navies,
the all important consideration is to
secure, If possible, immediate control
of the sea and the power which pos
sesses the superior navy Is usually
able to do this. In such case the navy
of the weaker power takes refuge in
some deep and well defended harbor
where it seeks to wear out its enemy
by fighting it in detachments and in
other ways wearing down its strength.
If this weaker power, having thus
taken refuge in safe harhor can
maneuver it's ships through inland
channels to other exits, 1t enjoys a
great advantage.
"The submarine has long been con-
sidered a source of great effectiveness
and If even the submarine alone Of the
navy could have free movement
through an inland waterway the power
whose navy was bottled up would be
in position to make longer defense
until it could bring into play the re-
sources of it's country.
Even in times of peace the canal
is very important factor to the navy
and lends itself to preparation for ma
tional security. Large quantities OF
heavy materials are constantly re-
quired by the government ror it's navy
yards, and on these the transportation
charges by the waterway would be
more than cut in half"

French ambassador, Jules ]. Jusse-
rand, made public today the summary
of ten documents drawn up by vari-
GUS officials accusing the German sol
soldiers Of a systematic campaign OF
atrocities. The documents, which we're

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 25.-Promi-

a chance to make peace between Car

There has, however, been no re-

awaited the capitalization Of events
in the break between Generals Car
rama and Villa. still hopeful that eff

differences would meet with success
This feeling is shared also by Rafael

statement expresses the hope that the
troubles between the two generals
will be satisfactorily adjusted on the
ground that no real cause exists fol
the break. He has made public cor
respondence between Carranza and
Villa, from which he says 1t is ap
parent that Villa had no real grounds
for the stand he has taken and that e
peaceful arrangement between them
would be brought about.
General Villa sent word that no mat
ter what happened he would afford
protection to Americans and other
nationals. His headquarters at Chi

scenes Of much animation with the
feeling general that a movement oi
