LIBRARY NOTES

The February circulation has brok-
en- all previous records for the library.
The total output Of books was 1,778 of
which 8O2 were juvenile and 976 were
adult: This is gain of three hundred
and fifty nine over February of last
year-a good-sized jump-and q gain
Of n over the highest months circula-
ton recorded: The biggest days cir
culation the library has ever known
was February 23rd, with a record of
133. The average daily circulation
has been over eighty and the most re-
freshing part Of it all is that nearly
one fourth of the books circulated
were not fiction. The high school pup
lis have been learning to use the solid
matter and the reference work done
at the library equals the circulation
in enlargement.
The following books will be put
into circulation on Friday:
The Rise Of Roscoe Paine, by Jos
eph Lincoln, the author Of "Mr. Pratt
and Keziah Coffin.' The scene, as
usual, is on the New England sea-
coast, but the story is not about an
old sea-cvaptain, this time. There is
a mystery connected with Roscoe
Paine which the story takes its time
to reveal.
Ralph Connor's "Man from Glen.
garry is not new book by any
means, but it completes the library's
set of his books.
Emerton's Introduction to the Mid
die Ages is a we'll written history
which throws light on present day
problems in Europe, or at least the
beginnings of them.
Two College Girls, by Helen Dawes
Brown, is book which older girls
will thoroughly enjoy.
Fox's Indian Primer is for the lit
tie folks.

LIQUOR QUESTION
UP IN ENGLAND
WILL BE HANDLED AS NEEDED
SAYS GERMANY WOULD
BE DICATION

Bangor, Wales, (via London) March
1.-The chancellor of the exechequer,
David Lloyd George, made a pointed
reference to the United States in a
speech here Sunday night:
"If Germany is triumDhant over this
country" he said, "she would be prac-
tically dictator Of the world. And
where could we then look to chival
rous country to protect us-to Amer
ica?' he asked. "1f countries like
France and Russia, with huge armies,
and we, with the most powerful navy
in the world, could not face this ter
rible machine, how could America step
in? 1t would be more than America
could do to defend her interests in her
own continent. America is more un-
ready than we were."
The chancellor then took up the IL
quor and industrial questions.
"The government has wide powers
to deal with the drink question and
it means to use them," declared David
Lloyd George. He said small min
ority of the workmen employed in the
armament factories had refused to
work full week because Of the lure
Of drink.
The government would use it's pow
ers discreetly and in spirit Of modera-
tion. Mr.. tloyd-George asserted, but
'fearlessly." He was sure the pub
lie would support whatever action was
taken and allow no indulgence Of this
kind to interfere with the country's
prospects in the war.
"The war;" he said, "is to be won
or lost by the engineers. We need
arms more than men and every day
of delay is full of peril to the country.
For one reason or another we do not
get the assistance we have right to
expect from our workshops. Indus
trial differences are inevitable, but we
cannot afford them now.
ut is intolerable that the lives Of
Britons should be imperilled for the
sake of a farthing an hour. During
war, governments should have the
power of settling differences so that
the work shall go on. If men are en-
titled to more money the government
should give it. I do not believe the
parties involved will refuse to comply
with the urgent command of the gov
ernment that there should be no de-
lay"
Expressing confidence in the out
come of the war, the chancellor said
the people of the country hardly rea-
lized the Importance of the struggle
in which they were. engaged. He
warned them that victory could not be
won without long struggle. He de-
clared that while England had enroll
ed the largest volunteer army ever
gathered in any country or in any
century, it ought to be larger still.

about to drive to Garrison, and Peltier
asked to be taken along. Although

fed that he was an escaped convict be-
cause of descriptions he had seen of
the escaped man, Hagness feared at
tempting his apture. When half a
mile out Of Garrison, Peltier jumped
from the buggy and made his way
into the fields. The alarm was soon
spread, and McGray and DR.. Stucke
armed themselves with rifles, and
started out in a southeastern direction
by auto. Coming on to the haystack
they made an investigation and when
within thirty feet, discovered Peltier
crouched alongside the pile. When
covered he Immediately threw up his
hands and peacefully accompanied his

German Guns Resume
Bombardment of Dunes
Along Belgian Coast

PARIS. July T.-For the first time in
several weeks. artillery duels along the
sand dunes OF the Belgian seacoast
were reported In official dispatches to-
day.
The Germans shelled Furnes, behind
the French lines with their long range
guns. and bombarded Oost-DunkirK, a
famous seaside resort two and one-half
miles from Nieuport. hurting shells all
around the Grand Hotel OF the Dunes.
During the night a German aeroplane
dropped FIVE bombs on Dunkrk, doing
no damage.
In retaliation for these attacks,
French heavy artillery bombarded
Westende and Middlekirk. held by the
Germans. for several hours. with con-
siderable effect. The German artillery
replied and throughout yesterday ana
last night the roar of big guns was
heard all along the seacoast.
Scarcely any infantry fighting has oc-
CURED in the last twelve hours. The
French have consolidated their POSI-
tions at Linekopf. by short charges and
are maintaining their positions against
all German counter-attacks. Skirmishes
have occurred in the Argonne.

Are the Days
Children Need Care
Summer Heat Dangerous to
Little Ones if Bowels

A mother cannot do better for her
child than to train it from early in
fancy to regular habits, not only as
a preventive against much of the
illness to which children are more
or less subject, but also to insure
their health in later life.
Normal activity of the bowels is
the basis of sound health. This is
especially true with children in hot
weather. Do not neglect any tend
ency they may show to constipation,
but promptly administer a gentle
laxative, that will carry off the con-
gested waste without shocking the
system.
An excellent remedy for this pur-
pose is the combination of simple
laxative herbs with pepsin known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and
sold in drug stores for only fifty
cents a bottle. 1t does not contain
opiates, narcotics, or harmful habit

CARRANzA MAKES
SUPREME EFFORT
Starts Big Expedition From
Vera Cruz to Give villa
Forces Battle At Monterey.

Another supreme effort has been
launched by Gen. Venustiano Carranza
to crush his opponents in Mexico.
Dispat atches at the State Department
today from Vera Cruz disclose a big
military expedition on foot from Vera
Cruz against the Villa forces at Mont
Grey.
United States Consul Silliman re-
ported that eight Carranza "war ves-
sells" were being loaded with supplies
and men at Vera Cruz, and that ad-
ditional troops were massing at that
city, preparatory to embarking for
points north. 1t is assumed at the
state Department that Carranza has
planned to send a large force to Tam
which Is controlled by Carranzistas,
the expedition will strike inland for
monterey. where an important Villista
force Is now massed.
Whether President Wilson will await
the outcome Of this new military man
SAver before taking his next step with
regard to Mexico is not known. in any
event 1t Is not believed here that this
next step will be anything in the nature
Of armed intervention. The most that
the President Is expected to do is to
place general embargo on the ship
ment of arms into Mexico, and thus
compel a cessation Of hostilities; the
rival factions to get together. and sug-
