For the past few years it had been a
serious problem as to what was to be done
with the big four, five and six-masted
>schooners built for the coastwise coal
carrying trade. Steamers and barges
xwere gradually monopolizing the bust
mess, freights were ruinously low, and
for weeks, sometimes months, these
vessels were tied up in port awaiting
charters. The war has solved the prob
lem, Temporarily at least, aud most of
the fleet of schooners formerly in the
coal trade have been chartered for off
shore business, some for transatlantic
voyages but the great majority for South
American ports with cargoes heretofore
carried by foreign tramp" steamers,
and at rates that promise their owners
handsome dividends. Meanwhile steam
ers from the Great Lakes, and others
built specially for the business, are carry
ing coal coastwise.

ed, the object of the association is "to promote
the welfare of the Winterport High school. to
create a favorable public sentiment among
citizens and young people of the town, and to
foster a congenial spirit among those who
have graduated from the school," For several

complished. With the interest that is being
aroused in the society and with the spirit Of
CO. operation that is shown, the association
will undoubtedly do much to benefit the school
and the community.

THE WAR TODAY.

When the war began England's navy,
the largest and most powerful in the
world, was expected to turn the scale.
The German navy would be anniliated
and peace would follow. But the Eng
fish navy has cut no figure at all. The
German submarines have destroyed many
of the ships, and no craft has been safe
from their attacks in the waters sur
rounding the British Kingdom. The
German navy, aside from the submarines,
does not appear at all. The attempt to
starve Germany into submission has
failed. She is abundantly supplied for
the present and the women and children
and the men too old to go to the front
are cultivating the soil, utilizing even
she grounds about the public buildings.
In the field, as the situation is today,
Germany is in the ascendant. She has
conquered and occupied Belgium, retains
a foothold in French territory and has
driven the Russians back into their own
country. At the Dardanelles the Turks
under German officers are holding the
British and French forces at bay, and it
is a long, long way to Constantinople.
Italy has joined the allies, but with no
appreciate effect thus far. Unless some
decided success soon comes to the allies
Greece, Roumania and Bulgaria, now
wave. ing IN the balance, are not likely to
;Toin what may appear to them to be the
losing side.
1t is said that Germany has been pre-
pairing for this war for twenty-five years,
and this may be true. But much of her
success is due to the training of her peo-
pie in the arts of peace as we'll as of
war. They have been trained and brought
to high state of efficiency in the arts
and sciences, in industrial, mechanical
and agricultural pursuits, as have the
people of no other country. CONNER
cially they are England's greatest rival.
While Germany is united as one man
there is bitter dissension in England,
transcription is talked of to reinforce her
armies in the field, and work in her ship
yards and the supplying of munitions of
war is delayed by drunkenness and
strikes. Russia has many millions of
men to put into the field, but they are
unframed, uneducated and are not ami
mated by the love of country that ami
mates the German, fighting, as he be-
lieves, for the fatherland. The French
are fighting to avenge past aggressions
by Germany and to save their country
from vassalage; England to maintain her
supremacy; Italy to acquire territory.
The allies have practically the moral
support of the whole civilized world.
Their financial resources are greater
than those of Germany, and the general
belief is, and has been from the first,
that Germany will be defeated in tie
end. Just now the end seems to be far
distant.
