The sand hogs" struck a natural
gas deposit which ignited from the
lights carried by the workers. The
deposit may make the construction of
the bridge impossible, but engineers
do not admit it.
Prospecting for natural gas and oil
on the islands and bars adjacent has
been carried on for many years. The
engineers say the gas is natural and
not marsh gas. The gas is still burn

lewiston Sun says:

Lewiston sun says:
The success Of Germany means the
breaking up of the British Empire. 1t
means the destruction of British control
of the seas that for SO mary years has
made commerce so free and safe through
out the world.
Then it will be up to the United States
to decide whether she will kowtow to
the autocrat of Berlin OF turn to and
maintain navy greater than all the
navies of the world now af1oat.
As it stands today, the maintenance
of the British Navy is worth more to the
United States than any defensive ma
chinery we can build up now.
The maintenance of the British navy
is more valuable to the United States
and to civilization than all the commerce
and culture of Germany, great as the
value of German culture and German
commerce must be admitted to be.
Liberty is the greatest thing in the
world. The greatest armed defender of
liberty is the British navy.

cript, "Hysterla IN Congress, printed
on another page, furnishes additional
evidence of the incapacity of Congress,
and of the Administration, to deal with
the great problems which confronts this
country at the present time. The Com
mercial Bulletin of Boston, recognized
representative of the financial and bus
mess interests of New England, says in
an editorial captioned ':Hysteria and Ig-
norance in Wartime":
1t is a melancholy fact that the leaders
of the party in power apparently lack
the serious spirit that dominates the
street crowds and jump from one hyster-
ical plan to another in the way of special
legislation, Dignifed, orderly, constitu-
tional legislation is flung to the winds,
class legislation rides rampant, sectional
ism strikes down existing industries and
the President. calling himself Demo-
crat, has been made in international
affairs an autocrat indeed, with powers
that even the Russian Emperor does not
now possess.
We are facing:
Special legislation to help cotton.
Special legislation to help silver.
Special legislation to cover the hope
less breakdown of the new revenue laws.
Special legislation to compel congress
men to perform the duties for which
they were elected.
Special legislation to override interna-
tional law.
Special legislation to control the
merchant marine of foreign countries.
inc toro linz
of hysteria, consistency is instantly
abandoned. The very politicians and
newspapers which for years have been
bowling about high prices and demanding
that New England textile industries
should be ruined in order to bring down
the price Of cotton CLOTH have been de-
manding that the price of raw cotton
should be artifcially kept up, naturally
with the same result of enhancing the
price of cotton cloth. That danger, the
proposed "valorization" scheme is, for
tunately, already dying if not dead. 1t
is greatly to be hoped that reasonable
and proper relief of the cotton growers
will not contain this feature.
The very press and politicians that
have wrecked the merchant marine of
the United States and denied the SUBJ
sides by which foreign nations maintain
their merchant marine are now shouting
that $50, 10000 of American taxes must
be spent to help ships flying the flags of
belligerents out of their dilemma, even
at the risk of dragging the United States
! into foreign war.
Already the predictions of the Bulletin
are coming true. Both France and
England have filed such serious objections
that the plan of hosting the American
flag on foreign ships, at least for the
purpose of bringing home our own re-
fugees, has had to be publicly abandoned.
1t wasn't even needed.

Unprecedented conditions exist in the foot
wear markets as result of the war in Europe,
and in many cases both jobbers and retailers
are concentrating orders. On the other

are in receipt of army contracts. Little bust

The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1914-09-03

1t is an old story that Germany has
been preparing for war for years and
that, counting on the unpreparedness Of
other nations, she planned by whirlwind
campaign to change the map of Europe
10 her liking. She met an unforeseen
obstacle in little Belgium and did not
reckon on having England arrayed
against her. While the reports given
to the public are meagre and sometimes
conflicting, on the whole the Germans
seem to have had rather the best of the
allies of late. but we venture to predict
that we shall have different news soon
and that the Russians will be in Berlin
before the Germans reach Paris.

Sewall, which left Philadelphia Oct.
10, 1913, for Seattle with a cargo
of 5000 tons of coal, arrived at the
latter port Aug. -, 1914, the voyage
taking nearly ten months. She was
twice driven back into the Atlantic
in attempting to round Cape Horn,
was damaged in spars and rigging and
her crew suffered great hardships. Now
that the Panama canal is completed and
in operation there will probably be no
more American sailing ships undertake

One year ago the Democratic editor of
the Waldo County Herald published in
his paper twelve reasons why he could
not support W. R. Pattangall for Con-
gress. Mr.. Pattangall is candidate for
Congress from this district at the coming
election, and as there is no evidence that
he has changed for the better the twelve
reasons should hold good today. A thir-
aeenth reason why he should not receive
the votes of the people of this district is
that if elected he would vote with his
party, which has done and is doing every
thing possible to cripple the industries of
New England ard whose legislation has
been specially disastrous to Maine. And
a fourteenth reason is that he stands for
license, and as the represent alive of
party which is believed to derive its cam
,paign funds from the brewers and dis
tillers.
