Refugee at Waterville from

waterville, Me-. May N.-(SpeciaD.
When the / o'clock train pulled into
the waterville station Thursday af-
ternoon there alighted in the person
of Robert H. Caller, 20year-old
youth of Worcester, Mass, who came
here to visit his cousins, Mr.. and Mrs.
NJ. j. Leahy of Green street, the first
refugee from Mexico-the land of
bloodshed and war-to reach this por-
ton of Maine. Young Caller, who
graduated from Worcester Classical
Institute in 1913. passed last summer
in Waterville, employed at The Elm
wood, and had registered at Colby
with the intention or entering in the
fall. but he was offered position
with a company making geology

South, little knowing that he would

fond farewells, good, hard and pene-
trating steel bullets.
Warned by Consul
The geology tourists were obliged to
abandon their work when the situa-
ton became serious, and young Gal
lier, with his brother William went
to work on the oil wells about 127
miles from Tuxpan. Here, isolated
from the outside world, II Americans
labored throughout the days that the
battles were raging around Vera Cruz,
little knowing what danger they would
be in within a few days. On April %
the superintendent of the fields re-
ceived letter from the American
consul at Tuxpan, telling him to
abandon the field and come to the
city at once The three ways of re-
turning to the city were equally con-
spicuous, and in order not to arouse
any suspicion upon the part of the
natives it was decided to send a por
ton of the campers by each route.
They drew lots to settle by which
each man would go. To seven 1t fell
the lot to go via launch, to another
five by train, and to Robert and Will
liam Caller, Edward Page of Garth
age, Texas, Frank Castor of Atlanta.

Virginia fell the lot of riding horse

Start Perilous Journey
The five who were to make the
journey across country remained over
a night after the others had gone,
keeping the lights burning in all the
buildings to ward off suspicion that
the others had fed. Bright and early
the next morning the five, with an
extra pack mule, started for Tux

Women Used Clubs

Headed by Mrs. Pankhurst and Miss
Sylvia Pankhurst, the flying squad of
women swept down the hill towards
Buckingham Palace, but when half
way along met the most hated enemy
of the militants in the person of In
spector Riley. who has charge of the
suffragette detail at Scotland yard.
The shock of combat was short but
sharp and resulted in the arrest of
many women who in the fighting used
clubs.
The roadway had just been sprin-
killed. with water, and many mounted
policemen were thrown. Their COM
rades on foot rolled with them in the
mud, but eventually the strength of
the policemen told, and in a few min
utes over 80 women, including Mrs.
Pankhurst. had been placed under ar
rest, while others had been scattered
into small groups. One group, headed
by Miss Sylvia Pankhurst reached a
point almost across the drive from
the palace, where mounted police sur
rounded the women and took Miss Syl
via and several of her comrades into
custody. The crowd at this point was
so dense that the attempts of the po-
lice to drive out were without sue
cess. Several members Of the House
of Commons among the spectators de-
nounced the police for not adhcring
to their promise to treat the women
with gentleness. The police retorted
that the terrific onslaught of the mil
itants had left them no alternative.
For two hours after the conclusion
of the main battle the police were en-
gagged in breaking up small groups of
women who had spread over the sur
rounding district.
The casualties were not numerous.

scene and both male and female nurses

fend him from the attentions of the
women, the palace presented a desert

that when Mrs. Pankhurst was arrest

and she shouted:
That is right, arrest me at the

dozen suffragettes who were lodg

that they had to be removed to bigger

ALBERT OF FRANCE!

We talk ot the republic into which
Germany is to be turned after the
Empcrcr has received his chastise-
ment. Meanwhile his successes in
France continue. 1t would be a
curious comment were the first step
toward the new democratization of
Europe to be the duplication of the
French governmental upset which
took place long before the war of
1870 was finished.
Napoleon's empire ended not with
the ultimate defeat Of the Corsican,
but with Sedan. Whether the spirit
Gt -cpublicanism, which is for the
moment conspicuous!y absent in
Germany, will be born there if dis
aster may be matter for speculation.
But the Royalists and Bona2artists
Of France are living and lively par
ties. Could they unite. at n mo-
ment of intense dissatisfaction with
the present government. France
might swap horses in midstream as
readily as she has in the past.
The hatred among the Bourbons,
The Washington times., 1914-08-29

vantage would be gained by assail-
ing London in this way. On the
other hand, distinct disadvantages
in this sort of warfare can be point
ed out.
Ir the first place for every woman
and child mangled and killed by a
bomb thrown from the sky in the
dark a hundred men would volun-
teer to 60 to the front. The spirit
and determination to revenge so
wanton an attack would have 20 be
reckoned with. No better plan could
be devised to fire a nation to fight
to the death.
In the next place, the horror the
civilized world would feel at what
is regarded as cruel and barbarous
act would be certain to react with
telling effect upon those responsible
for it.
There is so little to gain ard so
much to lose by this use Of the Zep-
1'elin that it seems incredible there
will be much of it.

BRINGING THEM NEARER

The steamship Santa Catalina ar
rived at Baltimore Thursday from
Chile via the Panama canal. If a
terrestrial convulsion had picked
Chile bodily up and lifted it almost
halfway nearer to US, the fact
would have had no more commercial
significance than does this Of the
opening of the new trade route
through the mid-American water
way.
Almost half the distance the San
ia Catalina had to travel was Topped
off by reason of making the trip al
most due northward. For it is one
of the wonders of latitude and longi-
tude, not realized by most people,
that the west coast of South Amer
lea is almost in line with the east
coast of North America. From VAL
paraiso, Chile, to New York, is al
most exactly north.
On the other hand, the old trip by
way of Magellan required rounding
not only the southern but also the
easternmost points of the South
American triangle. The trip carries
a vessel eastward well-nigh to the
meridian of the western point OF
Africa.
The Santa Catalina comes 20 us
from a country that has been great
customer of Europe, and a poor GUS
toner in our markets. Just at the
moment when the new and short
route is opened, Chile is unable to
continue her business relations with
Europe. 1t is a telling object les
son in the possibilities of the trade
to the south Of us. If Americans
can keep their money system sound
and their heads cool, they have be-
fore them a chance tn break into the
South American markets in two
years, as otherwise they could not
lave done in a generation.

THE UNPRONOUNCE-
ABLES.

Even war cannot wholly kill the
sense of humor. The Brooklyn
Eagle is reminded by the Russian
advance en- Germany of Southey's
poem, inspired by the rather general
British contempt for Russian mill
tsry prowess a hundred years ago,
when they were both engaged
against France. In his lines on the
march to Moscw the poet-laureate
wrote:
There was Tormazow. and Jemalow:
And all the others that end in ''ow:'
Milarodovitch and Jaladovitch,
And all the others that end in Itch"
Oscharoffsky and RostoffSky.
And all the others that end in "offsky:"
And Platofr, he played them off;
And Shouvalof. he shoveled EN- OF;
And Markoff. he marked 'em of:
And Kroshkoff, he crossed 'em off:
And Tuchkofr. he touched 'em off;

TITLES THAT MOCK.

To many business-suit republi-
cans there has always seemed bit
of opera bouffe about the manner
in which their majesties of Europe
have swapped honors, decorations,
and military and naval titles. A king
OF one country is made a colonel OF
another, whose prince, in turn. Is
made a marshal or an admiral in the
first country.
The Gar, it seems, takes this lit
tie matter seriously. He has just
revoked all the honorary appoint
ments held by the Kaiser in the lsus-
sian army and navy. Some may at
tribute this step to an excess of eau
ton on the part of the Little Father;
perhaps he feared that at a crucial
moment tire Kaiser might assume
the rights of a colonel of the Rus
sian army and order retreat.
King George is not reported to
Rave taken such precautions. Unless
secretly denoted the German En-
percr is still a field marshal of Great
Britain. His name is second only to
Lord Roberts in the army list, thus:
"H. NJ. William II. German En-
peror, King of Prussia, X. G., G. c.
V. O., Colonel-in-Chief Of the First
(RoyaD Dragons
And a few names below, in this
same list of British field marshals,
is the Emperor of Austria, Colonel
in-Chief of First (King'sl Dragon
Guards.
Ir the British navy the Kaiser is
an admiral of the fleet, ranking just
above that other British admiral,
Nicholas II, Emperor of All the
Russias.
Some expensive uniforms are go
ing to land in the ragbag.

CHURCHILL'S GHOST
WALK.

Mr.. Winston Churchill, first lord
of the British admiralty. is quoted in
a remarkable interview in The Times
today. Much of what he says will
impress the great majority of Amer
leans as sound and justifiable: GER
tainly as quite within the proprie-
ties of a British cabinet minister's
utterance at this time.
But Mr.. Churchill goes somewhat
out Of his way to point out that there
is grave danger of the United States
being the next victim of German
militarism, if Germany shall win
now. 1t is not unnatural that the
effort should be made thus to ap-
peal to the fears of America; mt it
would be unfortunate if Americans
were to take too seriously the sug-
gestion of such n menace in the
future.
The correspondent asked Mr..
Churchill whether the democracy of
America, apart from the moral issues
involved, had any direct interest in
the result of the war. Mr. Churchill
is quoted as replying thus:
You do not require me to talk to you
Of your interests. II England were to
be reduced in this war . . to the posi-
ton of a small country like Holland.
then, however far across the salt water
your country may lie, the burden which
we are bearing now will fall onto your
shoulders.
Somehow we have moro confidence
than the first lord seems to enter
tain, in the ability of the allies to
weaken, even if they do not defeat,
Germany. We doubt greatly if Ger
many, at the erd of this war. will be
in a mind to try conclusions with the
United States.
Moreover, there is nothing to in
dicate that an issue will be made be-
tween the United States and Ger
many We have nothing about which
to fight. We are not looking for
trouble, and it is hard to believe Ger
many will be looking for more Of it,
even if she shall now win.
Such utterances as this Of the ad-
riralty chief are not going 20 dis
turb The equanimity of the American
public. A parable. appeal to preju-
dice and fear was indulged by a Ger
man Diplomat who very pointedly
observed that of course the United
States would not be unfriendly to
any nation that was fighting Japan.
This is the kind of undiplomatic ut
terance that sometimes causes dip
lomats suddenly to lose their useful
ness in particular fields of endeavor.
The United States is not going to
be scared into this war, dragged into
it, or misled into it. 1t is going to
keep its common sense on straight.
Neither the bogie of German mill
tarism nor that of Oriental race an
tagcnism is going to move it from a
firm purpose of real neutrality.
