KNEW CROSBY MOVES OF THE WASH.
INGTON STAR.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: That
d journalistic letter of yours in your last issue
was more than interesting to me. personal
&y knew most every man you referred to
when they were in the midst of their most re-
y4narkable careers, etc. Crosby Noyes and his
son, Frank B. (whom l knew as a boy in the
office of the Washington Star and afterwards
the manager) were the only people l ever
knew who forced Charles A. Dana to back
down and retract what he had written about
them. This was, believe, the most nauseous
dose that marvelously able writer was ever
obliged to swallow, made doubly repulsive
from the fact that every word Dana had pub
lished was true, but circumstances over which
Dana had no control forced him to bow in
humble submission to the decree of his lord
High Executioners."

ly illustrated, principally by photographs.
Also there is the always popular ''Odds
and Ends An article" 'Insect Oddi-
tes," by Harold Basin, tells about the
joking mood that Nature must have been
in when she turned out some of the mil
lion different sorts of insects in the
world.
In the Strand Magazine for June will

ARE THESE YOUR SYMPTOMS?

Do you find your breath bad in the
morning, bad taste in the mouth, =
coated tongue, a mean feeling in the
head?
Constipation, which these symptoms
denote, is dangerous because it means
that poisonous materials which should
have been expelled from the body are
being retained. It is condition which,
if not corrected, becomes chronic.
The remedy is to stimulate the liver by
the use Of Pinklets, the gentle laxative
pills that do notgripe or purge but simply
assist nature. Taken regularly for q
time, they really do correct constipation.
Write the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for a free sample or
get full-size, 25-cent bottle of Pinklets
from your own druggist.

DOES GERMANY WANT WAR?
Interesting Report of Statements by Ger
man Officers.
(Wall Street Journal J

(Wall Street Journal
In this connection it is of extreme in
terest to hear of the reports that have
been brought to New York bankers
from Turkey at the end of April by an
American who conversed with the Ger
man officers who are directing the de-
fence of the Dardanelles and of Con-
stantinople. The American had stated
to the German officer that the United
States would under all conditions keep its
finger out of the pie.
"Ah!' replied the high German officer,
''but we do not intend that you shall
stay out. We shall force you into it.
be economically exhausted, both victor
out, she will when peace is declared have
the worlds trade in the palm of her
hand, and all the nations of Europe will
be too exhausted to compete against her.
That is the reason America must come
in and will be forced in. We do not fear
her as an opponent. 1t makes little
difference to us now whether there are
fifty or hundred more war vessels op-
posed to US, and it is quite impossible
that America can get at us with her
army, or at least an army of such a size
as to be an important factor.
"But it is important to US that Amer
lea must undergo an industrial and econ
omic paralysis such as would be brought
about by her entrance into the war. She
cannot equip an army or a ravy soon
enough to do Germany any great amount
of harm, but when peace is declared, all
the nations of the world must start
again after the worlds competitive COM
merce on an equal footing, and we do
not propose that America shall have ten
years start of the rest of US. We will
force her in.
This conversation took place early in
April. 1t might possibly be the idle
vaporing of conceited German General
but the American took the trouble to
check up. He found that other German
officers held the same view. Was the
Gulfight incident intentional or acct
dental? Do all the reasons for the Lusi.

Could see again your SMILE,
Did you feel the parting, mother,
Keenly as your children do,
Realize their bitter anguish
When they had to part with you.
Dot, uear motnef, tnOu mast leIL US,
No more on earth we'll see thy face,
For the angels. blessed angels,

MEMORIAL DAY ORDERS,
Commander Eaton OF The Maine G. A. r.
Issues Directions For Observance BY Civil


War Veterans.
The following Memorial day orders have
been issued from the department of Maine
headquarters of the Grand Army of the Re-
public at Portland:
l. Forty-seven years ago the beautiful Gus
tom of strewing flowers on the graves of our
fallen comrades first publicly observed,
and each year has witnessed more and more
general observance of the day. 1t is day of
expression of national tribute of respect to its
J deathless dead. The passing days will soon
bring US once more to the day devoted by the
| Grand Army to sacred duties and hallowed
memories. For 46 consecutive years the Grand
Army of the Republic has observed this day
by visiting the silent camping grounds, where
sleep their comrades Mustered Out" and
placing upon the grassy mantle that covers
them the flowers of each retulgent spring time,
emblems of Immortality; the beautiful flowers
signifying tender memories of cherished COM
rades lying there. AS hallowed memories
carry US back to the days of camp and field and
the activities of young manhood. the pleasant
and pathetic are tenderly intermingled. Let
US hope, as we engage in this sacred duty and
loving tribute, its orderly performance may
inspire spirit of patriotism in the hearts and
minds of our young people. Let our beloved
banner, the Stars and Stripes, be appropriately
displayed and properly placed to mark, where
'our hero lies buried"
II. 1t is recommended that President Lin
coins Gettysburg address and Gen. John A..
Loga IS proclamation establishing Memorial
day find an appropriate place in the exercises
of the day.
III. Sunday. May %. will be observed as
Memorial Sunday. 1t is hoped that each post,
accompanied by its allied bodies, will arrange
to attend divine service on that day.
~. Friday, May %, is designated as School
day, and post patriotic instructors will cooper
ate with the teachers of our schools in holding
such patriotic exercises as may be deemed best.
V. Flags throughout this department should
be placed at half-staff on the morning of Mem
oriaI day and so remain until IL m, when they
should he hoisted to full staff for the remainder
of the day.
vi. When Memorial day occurs on Sunday.
the following day should be observed. as it is
by legislative enactment legal holiday in
| Maine.

KILLS PLAN FOR COUNTIES
TO PAY FOR PRIMARIES

The Senate last night defeated by
vote of II years to "a nays the Sproul
bin TO have counties pay the expenses
of the primary elections. This was an
administration measure, introduced by
Senator Sproul, who was not present.
and an effort will be made to reconsid-
er the vote by which it was defeated.
The Tompkins bill to permit boxing
and, wrestling exhibitions, killed last
week, came to the front again when
Senator Tompkins endeavored to have
the vote by which it was killed recon
sidered. His motion was defeated by
an overwhelming rising vote, and is
now dead for the session.
Senator Catlin introduced a bill
making the trailing arbutus the State
flower, and Senator Buckman introduce
ed bill making the closed season for
killing frogs and tadpoles from Octo-
Der to July /, and then only 20 of
each in one day or so during the sea-

pated in generally by the Senators,
