Day of Reckoning
(Biddeford Journal.)

1t is charged that the present nat
ional administration has done nothing
to help, but everything to harm, the
prospect for a rehabilitation of an
American merchant marine. The bill
which it introduced In congress to
make IL easier for foreign ships to reg
lister under the American flag is a
wretched subterfuge, bit of legis-
lative buncombe. 1t is not likely that
any large numbers of foreign ships
will he brought under our flag because
of it, for careful business men will not
dare to buy and register foreign ships
under it's provisions. Such vessels
would be American in name only, and
foreign nations would look upon them
as marine outlaws, The provision au-
thorizing the president to suspend the
requirement that the officers of such
ships shall be American citizens is
simple outrage. a blow at the real
Americans who follow the flag wher-
ever duty calls, and there can be no
doubt that these men and their friends
will know how to resent II when the
time to act shall come. Moreover, a
foreign steamer. British, German,
French or any other, with the name Of
her real port painted out and the name
of an American port hastily substi-
tuted, though flying a brand new
American flag but without an Ameri-
can citizen among officers and crew,
would be condemned as fraud, and
fair prey for her captors. by any prize
court in the civilized world.

passed from your body like unburned

work and stick, and the plain truth is
you hardly get enough nourishment
from your meals TO pay for the cost
of cooking. This is true of thin folks
the world over. Your nutritive organs,
your functions of assimilation, are sad
ly out of gear and need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny

Invading Belgium
New York World.)


The German Chancellor explained
the invasion of Belgium by saying
We knew France was ready for an
invasion. France was able to wait; we
were not. A French aggression into
our flank on the lower Rhine would
have been disastrous, and We there
Tore were compelled to overrule the le-
Ultimate protests of the Luxembourg
and Belgian Governments.
Overruling "the legitimate protests OF
the Luxembourg and Belgian Govern
ments' has already proved an expen-
siVe luxury to Germany. 1t brought
Great Britain with all her sea power
and all her financial resources into the
war, and the stubborn resistance or
the Belgians must have been no less
a surprise TO the Germans than to the
rest of Europe
For two days the Belgian forces
have succeeded in holding back the
German advance at a time when every
hour is precious. AS the Chancellor
said. France was able to wait; we
were not" but fate and the Belgians
have compelled Germany TO wait.
The military effect of the Belgian re-

effect is even more important. A small
and weak nation, that was expected
to content itself with formal diplo-
matte protest against German inVas-
ion of it's neutrality, has proved that
it's fighting capacity, man for man, is
not inferior to the Kaisers boosted
legious. Belgium demonstrated at
Leige to all the weaker states that the
German troops are not supermen, but
ordinary flesh andJDlood human be-
ings whom cold lead can stop.
The stout resistance already en-
countered by Won Emmich's forces
and the intense hatred aroused against
Germany make it certain that even II
the Kaiser succeeds in making Belgi-
UNI a highway to France he will have
to occupy it with an army in order to
guard his communications Belgium Is
as much the enemy's country as
France herself,
Great Britain. not France, is now
Germany's chief problem, and the
Kaiser will win no permanent victories
on French soil unless he can make
good with them in London, When he
invaded Belgium he set for himself the
task Of destroying the British Empire
something at which even Napoleon
failed.

Heat Very Trying

Posons Vitiate the Blood.

Hot weather has very weakening
effect on women. They are too Ian
guild to exercise, and as a result have
appetite only for foods that seem light
and tasty, such as salads and other
cold connections. But these frequent
ly produce indigestion, and with it
comes constipa ton.
1t is especially in hot weather that
women should keep up the highest
standard of health for it is necessary
to have strength TO resist the heat.
The first essentials are good diges-
ton and regular bowel movement. and
then good red blood and steady nerves
will follow. The best way to obtain
these is not by an Indulgence in
fruits. which often are not ripe, or
over-ripe, and hence are dangerous,
but in the use of a gentle and pleas
ant tasting bowel stimulant like Dr.
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Use it to-
night and your constipation, indiges-

Working to Destroy the Army Worm

working to Destroy the Army Worm
Major f. E. Philbrook, who has
charge of the browntail moth army
when there is any such army, is at
present looking after the army worms
which have made their appearance in
different parts of the State. He is
not able to do much because there are
no funds available for the purpose.
The most he can do is to visit and ad-
wise with the people who are afflicted,
leaving it for them TO do the work
themselves. Thus far large damage
by army worms has been reported in
Bowdoinham and Richmond, also num-
erous towns in the upper part of York
county. In one case a 35-acre lot of
oats was entirely eaten up by the in
seets. The greatest amount of dam
age mas been done for this year, how
ever, as the caterpillars have stopped
feeding and are now in the pupa stage.
The best way to handle them is to
pillow burrows clear around the infest-
ed field and to spread mixture of
bran mash mixed with sweet stuff and
paris green and let nature do the rest
In some cases burning over the stub
Bile will aid in the destruction.
Unless some vigorous work is done
to stop them for the next year the
crop of army worms will be much
larger than the crops of grain, for they
increase and multiply wonderfully.
Some 80 years ago there was a vista
ton of these insects in this State, but
since then they have not been very
numerous. although almost every year
a few of them have been seen. The
army worm is one of the worst insect
pests there is. the damage being done
by the army feature rather than by
the worm. That is to say, they travel
in millions and when they get into
patch of grain they proceed to eat it
all up clean. Then they move on to
the next, going in solid column, COM
pany front and five ranks deep This
habit of sticking together and work.
ing together is what causes them to
be called army worms and it is this
reason why they are so much feared
by farmers. They do most of their
damage in grain in this State, oats be-
ing their favorite object of attack.

Their team work is spectacular and
from the showing they made last
night, it seems that they have a good
chance Of capturing the State cham

Outplayed at every point, the Sum-
ter men put up chiefly defensive
game in which Nash, Chatham and
CuttinO showed most ability. Nash
Outjumped his opponent at center, a
fact that tended to hold the score Of
the Columbia players down somewhat
{ com what 1t otherwise would have
been. CuttinO made nine Of the
seventeen points for Sumter. For Co

best, with Parks Jud w r.snunt playing
