MACHIAS MAN DECLARES
GERMANS WANTED LAND
Samuel NJ. Holway Tells of Eff
forts to Establish Wireless
Station on Maine Coast

The following letter from Samuel NJ
Hoiway IF Machias. is printed in the
Boston Herald:
Since so much discussion has been
carried on in references to the imprub-
ability that the Germans were under
taking to establish a wireless station
on the Maine borders. thought a bit
OF news with which have had direct
concern might be of interest to you.
In the fall Of 1913 an inquiry was
sent to a real estate dealer in Ma
chias. Hon. A. D. McFauI. for a. tract
Of wild land. some 1900 acres in ex-
tent. The prospective purchasers
cared nothing for the forest growth,
and were willing that it should be
removed provided it could be done
without any undue delay. They were
anxious. however, that the trdct be
situated in some remote locality
where they could be free from mo-
lestation or interference.
The agent Mr.. McFaul. procured
the option on several AREAS which
seemed TO him to I'LL the bill. and
later in the season two Germans came
here. and with Mr. McFNul inspected
the several tracts on which an op-
ton had been secured.
One OF these tracts, situated near
the little village Of Marion. some i've
miles from the Technology summer
school camps at Gardner's lake, SEEM
ed to meet their approval and q price
was given them on the property. The
correspondence with Mr.. McFaui was
carried on by parties representing the
same company that operates, or did
operate. the wireless station at Say
vile, Long Island.
In the last letter received from
them the statement is made that all
papers in relation to the transaction,
together with the report Of the inves-
tigators had been forwarded to Ber-
lin for further action. Nothing more
was ever heard Of the matter. as war
was declared soon afterwards.
I can vouch for the above facts as
have seen the correspondence with
Mr.. McFaul. and through him offered
the Marion land that the Germans
approved.

Our regular army should be greatly
increased in size and render much more
efficiency by yearly maneuvertng in
mass. as we'll as practice in other direc-
tons. Conditions in Mexico are such that
unless the Mexicans themselves come TO
their senses and unless we are content
10 see foreign powers undertake the
regulation of Mexico. we may ultimate
" have to intervene. Such interven-
ton would represent not real war but a
work Of paciflcation and police. For
such work volunteer soldiers are not
we'll fitted. 1t should be done exclusively
by the regular army; and for this pur-
pose there should be mobile army OF
over 10000 men, SO that the whole regu-
lar army should be about 10000 strong.
In addition firmly believe that there
should be universal military service for
our young men on the Swiss model. In
Switzerland the boys are trained for their
last few years in the public schools and
after they graduate from the public
schools they serve with the army for
four or six months and then for eight or
ten days every year for the next 10 years.
This training and service. SO far from
hampering the Swiss OF Switzerland in
dustriaily, has added enormously to the
industrial efficiency both of the individ-
uals and of the nation, and to their So
cial efficiency also.

FRENCH TROOPS RUSH
TO DEFENSE OF PARIS

Paris, Jan. 1S.-Fighting in the vi,

The French are maintaining their
positions along the Aisne.
Reinforcements are being rushed to
the new line in anticipation of an
other German attempt to hew a way
through the allied lines.
Artillery has been placed in position

BILE for the Germans to run pontoons
to carry their men over.
There is no doubt now that the
German general staff is planning to
renew it's drive against Paris.
Ten army corps are reported to
have been sent to the front, stretching
along the Aisne and north to Arras
They are all first line veterans, who
have been withdrawn from the Meuse
lines and Flanders, where their places
have been taken by the second line

positions under present conditions.
Already the Paris garrison has been
sent north to strengthen the frontier
British army, just landed, will also
be diverted to the present threatened

BRYAN ASSERTS THE
SALOON MUST GO

Lincoln, Neb. Jan. 1S.-The death
knell of the saloon was sounded, in
the opinion of Secretary OF State
Bryan, when the lower house OF con.
gress recently took a vote on the
question of outlawing the liquor traf-
fc. Mr.. Bryan argues that. although
the proposition failed to receive the
necessary two-thirds vote, 1t did re.
ceive a majority of eight-a striking
proof, he says, OF the growing tide
against the liquor business.
1T only requires a majority to pass
laws" said Mr.. Bryan, in an extend
ed discussion of the question In a
forthcoming issue OF the Commoner,
and the liquor interests see in the
vote on the amendment the beginning
OF the end of their supremacy. The
death knell Of the saloon has been
sounded, and 1t is only a question Of
a few years, when the bueiness now
made an outlaw will be driven from
the highways and forced into secret
places where, after a few years more
Of fugitive life, it will meet its death.
From now on the liquor business
can consider itself a fugitive from
justice, living in constant fear Of ar.
rest and punishment"

A t~hree-cornered conflict, that Is

The plan is advocated by Germanie

Sioux City, Jan. 1S.-As is usually
the case on a Saturday there was not
a great deal of activity in the cattle
trade. Packers we're not in urgent
need of supplies as receipts all week
have been generous, and dealers did
not care to invest in the few stockers
that were on sale. The few ~transac-
lions made were reported as romi-
naIly steady with the previous day.
Killing cattle values have been de-
pressed during the week. Liberal re-
eeipts both here and elsewhere was
the cause for the decline.
The good classes of feeding cattle
have not been appreciably changed
during the six-day period, but the
drift to the inbetween and common
kinds has been lower. losses being
reported as 15@25 cents.
