ENGLISH GIRL SCHOOL
TEACHER WRITES HOME
OF WARL|KE GERMANY
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 31.-"The war has
become merely part of the daily rou-
tine of our lives here" writes an Eng
lish school teacher from Dresden, Ger
many. She has been a resident of
Dresden many years, and has had no
trouble either with the populace or the
authorities.
There is no feeling of alarm she
writes, such as we hear is prevalent
in London and Paris. The feeling of
optimism is as strong as ever, and no
native of Saxony has any fears of an
invasion of Dresden by the Russians.
eve see many soldiers, going and
soming. They are very fine and very
warlike. The women of Dresden show
er them with gifts of cigars, chocolate
and warm articles of clothing. The
troops are always singing some of the
old German glees. They have few
new songs which are good. One of
them, written by a private soldier, has
caught on all Germany. The words are
a bit grotesque, but fit excellently into
the rollicking music. They go thus:
For every Briton a kick,
For every Russian shot,
For every Frenchman a knock
For God, for King, and Fatherland'
eve had the spy mania here very
bad for time, and everybody sus-
pected everybody else; but they have
got past that now"

ENGLISH BOOK SELLER
LAST OF PROFESSION

LONDON, Dec. 31-The death of
Bertram Dobell, downtown book
seller, commands more space in the
London newspapers than the obituary
of any man since Lord Roberts. He
was the last of the old-time London
booksellers and occupied a unique
place in literary life for forty years.
Mr. Dobell not only sold books; he
loved them-some of them so well
that he practically refused to sell them.
He read constantly and wrote occas-
ionally. His services as bookseller
were incidental to his chief work
in encouraging budding genius, as he
occasionally came upon it. His ad
miration for some of the early work
Of James Thomson, author of "T'he
City of Dreadful Night" led to
friendship that meant much to both
men. Dobel edited much of Thomson's
work for publication, and after Thorn
sons death collected and published all
his writings.
Another service which Mr.. Dobell
rendered to literature was the discov-
cry and Identification of the works of
a forgotten seventeenth century writer,
Thomas Traherne. Mr.. Dobells own
writings included two volumes OF
verse and one volume of prose, to-
gether with numerous contributions
to the magazines and reviews.

CENSUS OF REFUGEES
WILL Be TAKEN a
ENGLAND FOR ALBERT
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Dec. 31.-A general cen
sus of Belgian refugees in England has
been ordered that King Albert's cab
met may know where the Belgian sub
jects liable to military service are
quartered.
1t has been estimated that 10000
Belgians of military age came to En-
gland, but such estimates are neces-
sarily inaccurate. In the rush from
Antwerp and Ostend it was impossible
to keep any accurate records. Many
of the refugees who had money came
independent of any organized agency
and consequently the governments of
Belgium and England have no know
ledge of their movemets.
The employment of Belgians in En-
gland raised many stubborn questions.
Relief committees have not encourag-
ed Belgians to accept employment
where they would compete with En-
glish labor and there has been stud
led effort on the part of English COM
mittees throughout the island to pre-
vent Belgians from accepting lower
wage than that ordinarily paid to
Englishmen or English women.
In France the refugees have almost
invariably found employment, espe
cially the men of all ages. The French
men have nearly all gone into the SER
vice, with the result that Belgians who
have any knowledge of railroading,
bridge building, electrical construction
or engineering work of any sort are
instantly put to work.
Some Belgians have been leaving
England for the United States, but
they are chiefly older men and wo-
men who formerly lived in America,
and have relatives and friends there.
There has been no large movement of
Belgians toward America as yet, and
n objection has been raised to their
departure from England where they
had papers showing who they we're
and what their reasons were for leav-
ing.

annual Merchants Day, Tuesday, June
7e While it is one of the most i'm
rortant events of the year, IT is not
an affair which requires columns of
newspaper space for its announce
ment The central idea is the offer
ine by every retail merchant OF un-
usral bargains, making it a veritable
Shopping Holiday. Merchants Day
was advertised on this plan last year.
The result was an influx of shoppers
sucb as Skowhegan had never before
soon. and the breaking of all records
as 10 number of sales and aggregate
value of merchandise disposed OF.
The effort will be made to give
every visitor who desires it, an auto
mobile ride in and about SkOwhegan.
II is planned to have all available
automobiles at the Municipal Building
Water street, at 8 a. m. We hope to
hive machines enough so that every
out of town visitor can be given a ride
