MORE AMERICAN LIVES LOST.
Germans Torpedo the British Freight
Liner Armenian.

WASHINGTON, June 80. The Dominion
freight liner Armenian, flying the Brit
ish flag and carrying mules from New
port News, Va, to England, was tor
pedoed and sunk on Monday night by the
German submarine U-38 off Cornwall,
England, and nearly score of muleteers
aboard are reported lost, according to
messages received by the State Depart
ment today from Consul John S. Arm
strong, Jr., at Bristol. Twenty mine
men in all were lost and ten injured.
The news created sensation in official
quarters, as it was the first case of loss
of American lives since the sinking of
the Lusitania. The gravity of the incl
dent. however, and the action of the
Washington government depends almost
entirely on whether the Armenian was
chartered by the British government and
was. in fact, transport of war aboard
which Americans would sail at their own
risk or whether she was an unarmed
merchantmen. In the latter case, even
though carrying contraband, the ship
should have been subjected to visit and
search and those aboard transferred to q
place of safety before the destruction of
the vessel was attempted.

WIDE OPEN SALOONS.

Rev. w. F. Berry Tells Governor and Coun-
Gil of Conditions in Androscoggin, Knox
and Penobscot Counties. Gov. Curtis
Says He has no Power to Enforce the
Law.
AUGUSTA, Me, June 30. Rev. Wilbur
F. Berry of Waterville, superintendent
of the Christian Civic League of Maine,
appeared before the Governor and Coun-
Gil today to complain about infractions of
the prohibitory law in Androscoggin,
Knox and Penobscot counties. Supt.
Berry said II places were visited in Lew
iston where bars were running and some
SO places were observed all doing an open
business. In one place he found wom-
an % years of age the bar keeper. He
found there were 100 retail liquor taxes
and two wholesale liquor taxes paid in
Androscoggin County, most of them in
Lewiston.
Supt. Berry stated liquor selling has
gone on in Knox county for years and
general lawlessness exists. He stated
that there were 20 Federal retail liquor
taxes paid in that county and that gamb-
ling machines are run open in all parts of
Rockland. He stated that Sheriff Hobbs
refused to do anything about this condl-
tiol and that one constable told him that
he would lose his job if he did anything.
Supt. Berry stated that "a Federal liq-
uor taxes are paid in Penobscot county,
two of them in Bangor, and two of them
wholesale liquor taxes. He told of de-
plorable conditions in South Brewer and
of much drinking in all parts of Bangor
Gov. Curtis read from an opinion of Ex-
Chief Justice Emery of the Maine Su-
preme Court to the effect that the Gov
ernor has been practically shorn of all
power to enforce the liquor law.
Mr.. Berry said he believed that if the
Governor should cal! into his presence
the sherlffs of the three counties men
toned and give them talking to, it
would have salutary effect. He also
said the Governor could, if he wished,
call special session of the Legislature.
Gov. Curtis thought that none of these
remedies would bring about the desired
result.

ago." growled the forman; were hold
ing open a column on the first page FOR
that police court story; got it ready?
'There's nothing in that story. Hen
derson." said Garvin, calmly; young
Edwards is not in Jail. Fill up with
something else. .
For a moment the foreman looked with
a disgust too powerful for language;
then turned and walked into the COM
posing room.
As he was passing by the. business
Office next day on his way to lunch, Mr..
Alertte stopped to leave a direction with
the auditor.
"When Garvin comes in this after
noon," he said, II wish you'd call him
in and pay him off. Tell him it's no use
to go upstairs-I don't want to see
him."
During the forenoon the city editor
had gwen the matter such consideration
as he could. He was not man to act
on impulse, and he always endeavored to
be fair. But here was a case of derelic-
ton too fragrant to admit of any explana-
ton. When man fell down on an as
Segment like the one given to Garvin
there was no assurance that he could be
trusted again. The good of the service
demanded his dismissal; there was no
other way. =,
"Mr. Alertte, will you take the hand
of a man who has been your enemy?,
At this startling proposition the city
editor looked up into the face of large,
sinewy man, who was standing o. the
corner by the court house. One arm was
outstretched toward the editor: The
other hand held SLOUGH hat, OF the kind
largely used by western officers and cat
tlemen. The man was the sheriff OF
Cantabury county.
II thought you were an enemy OF mine
and | did everything l could against
you," said the sheriff, brokenly, but
after what happened last night | see
how l misjudged you. | ask your par
dom"
The big sheriff paused to regain his
composure, and did not notice the amaz-
ed look on Mr.. Alertte's countenance.
Little Billy told me all, - he went on,
with a curious tremble in the ordinarily
strong voice; ''how you sent Joe Garvln
around to get him out of there and TO
take him home to mother. That was the
noble part of it, Mr.. Alertte," SAID the
sheriff, earnestly, "and nobody but
good man would have thought OF it. But
YOU nave d VILE anu SDiidASi VI yoNA
own-nice, refined and gentle-and you
know how those things come home to
man. Mattie-my wife-has been IN
poor health the past few months, and
what with that and worrying over Billy,
she's right close to the border land, and
if you'd printed that in your paper about
his being in Jail she would have been
dead today-I'm sure of that as I'm
living man. But you're not that kind OF
blood. You fight an opponent fair and
square, man to man, in the open, and
dom t stab him in the back when he S
away from home. Ill wish l could
say something to let you know how | ap-
preciate this-it's more-a great deal
more-than l deserve. You're good
man, Mr.. Alertte.'
In returning to his office after lunch,
the city editor again stepped in to speak
with the auditor.
"Mr. Smith, you will please consider
the direction concerning Mr.. Garvin an
nulled," he said; ''he will continue in
the papers service as usual. Edgar

A FARM WITH A Biz INCOME

In the current issue of Farm and F--
side, the national farm paper put .i,rz4
at Springfield, Ohio, D. S. Burch writes
an interesting article entitled New
Hay Machinery" in which he tells bow
modern implements enable farmers %
put up their forage much faster, aaa s.
reduced expense. In the course OF The
article he tells about successful maal
factnrer who once travelled from Ohio q.
Virginia to see how practical farm-t
there made an income of $40, 900 year
from 500 acres of alfalfa. What This
manufacturer discovered about this far
mer is described in the following eNtrsC
taken from the article:
He found him equipped with Seven
cylinder rakes, seven wlndrow loaaers
and the necessary wagons. He gets s.
a ton for hay after shipping it by water
distance of ~ miles. His gross income
is $50 an acre-and even after taking Oh.
the expense of establishing the alfalfa
making the hay and selling it, he has e
splendid income. But it can be safely
asserted that he is mighty skilliu bay
maker.
