ity which promise to figure finally
IA the big issues OF the European
war.
The statement follows:
THE German government main.
tains that the dispatch OF Allied
troops to Salonika is on a par with
the German violation OF Belgian
neutrality.
What are the facts!
Germany was solemnly pledged,
together with other powers. to re-
spect the neutrality Of Belgium. The
Allied powers had no intention of
violating that neutrality In reply
to inquiries by Great Britain. France
gave a definite pledge on this point.
But Germany refused to do 20 and
violated Belgian neutrality Yielib-
erately, on the plea Of military ne
cessity.
Belgium had not entered into
any agreement with the Allied pow
ers. either to attack Germany or
to allow the passage OF Allied
troops. The Germans attempt to
Justify their action on the ground
that the French were on the point
OF alta king them through Belgium.
This IL totally untrue and IL SUI
ficiently disproved By the fact that.
at the commencement Of hostilities,
the French armies were concentrat-
ed on the eastern frontier of France.
The Germans, on the other hand,
had concentrated tho bulk of their
forces on the Belgian frontier and,
a. soon as war broke out. their main
blow, which evidently had been
planned long IN advance was deliv.
cred through Belgium.
at should be- noted that AZ the
beginning OF the war. the German
chancellor admitted that the viola
tion or Belgian neutrality was
wrong. but claimed u was Justified
by military necessity. II was only
subsequently. when the German
government realised the feeling
which had been aroused throughout
the civtiised world by their unpro-
vohed attack on Belgium, that they
attempted TO Justify II on the
ground that they had information
Of an intended attack by France
through Belgium.

HOW TO THIN PEACHES,
Pennsylvania State Zoologist Tells
Grower the Best Method.

Pennsylvania State BIOLOGIST Tells
Grower the Best Method.
A peach grower in southern Pennsyl-
vania wrote to State Zoologist H A.
Surface, Harrisburg, saying: MY
young trees are prolific with fruit. Will
you kindly inform me as to the pruning
and also as to the plucking of excess
fru1t In order to get normal crop of
large, healthy peaches? Also should
tree be sprayed at this time of year and
with what?"
This is practical subject with which
many peach growers will need help
within a few weeks. Therefore they
will be interested in the following reply:
THE best thing to do is to prune the
trees in such a way as to keep the tops
open, low and spreading. 1t does not
hurt to give them light pruning at this
or any other time of year. Very severe
pruning is generally done during the
dormant season.
Excess fruits should be picked off in
the process commonly called thin
ming Make it rule, first to pull off
all defective fruits and, second, all ex-
cess fruits that will leave those remain
ing on the trees no closer than the
width of your four fingers. This dis
lance is easily measured by simply ex-
tending the hand between the fruits,
and persons engaged in this work get
accustomed to it. l find that women
are good hands at thinning fruits and
are more careful and more speedy than
men. The sooner the thinning is done
the better for the trees
las a rule l do not recommend
spraying peach trees during the sum-
mer, but much depends upon varieties.
If your varieties are those that are sub
ject to brown rot or ripe rot, such as
Sneed, Triumph, Early Crawford, etc.,
or the early varieties that rot easily,
they should be sprayed with the self
boiled lime-sulphur solution now and
again when the fruit is about two
thirds grown.
"Use eight pounds of sulphur and
eight gallons Of lime in fifty gallons of
water, made according to SCOTS for
mula published by the United States de-
partment of agriculture Also, if your
fruit is of variety that shows black
spots or scab and crack among the
very late fruits, such as Salway and
Bilyeu, they should be sprayed in the
same way with the same material to
prevent the disease known as peach
scab and which causes the dark
blotches and cracks in the skin of the
late varieties of fruits. 1t is not neces-
sary to add arsenate of lead when
spraying at this time of year."

RUFUS H. EMERY OF BUcKsPORT.
His Study Of the Origin and Evolution of
the American FLAG.

Rufus Il. Emery. one Of Bucksport's Oldest
and most prominent citizens. Keeps up with
the events of the present day nd also delves
most thoroughly and system atically into the
past. He has made deep study of the origin
and evolution of the American flag, collecting
data and information from various sources un-
til he has compiled a rare document which ia
well worth perusal His collection comprises
miscellaneous lot of clippings, interspersed
with marginal notes, pasted and made into a
ten-page folder, really unique, and showing
evidence of painstaking care in the selection
OF condensed. authentic records which go deep
into the subject and yet avoid elaborate and
needless details.
The national flag. Mr.. Emery's folder tells
us, is believed to have originated at Sulpraye
Manor. which was the gift of Henry VIII to
Lawrence Washington. This ancestor of our
first president caused to be placed over the
main porch of his manor the family crest of
three stars and two stripes, which also ap-
pears at the present time over his tomb at
Great Brington. Northamptonshire, where re-
pose several of George Washington's ances-
tors.
The first stars and stripes were made TO
Gen. Washington by Betsy Ross in May, 1777.
consisting of thirteen stars and thirteen stripes
placed in circular form, and hi tory tells
US that the fair and comedy Betsy cut out
the first star for a member of the committee
with single cutting of her scissors. July 4,
1873, the present flag became a law, and it was
designed by Hon. Peter Wadsworth of New
York.
The unique little folder contains information
of historical character, giving sketches of
Betsy Ross and Hon. Peter Wadsworth, along
with their portraits. as well as those of WASH
ington. George Ross, Robert Morris. Lincoln,
Mary Lousie Dalton Southern woman who
was the founder of Flag Day, and Others
Quite bit of space is given to Betsy Ross,
who has been a romantic figure in American
history for more than a hundred years. The
fair and vivacious Betsy was not only maker
and collector of American flags, but collected
quite few good Americans, marrying and
burying no less than three of them. and dying
in 1886 at the ripe old age of "a years, honored
and beloved.-Bucksport Times.

Tramps Infesting Portland.

Tramps are giving considerable trouble
in Portland and are demanding, rather
than asking, for food, tobacco and money.
If refused they are inclined to be violent
in their talk and manner. Many
have been rounded up of late and have,
except in a few instances, been allowed
to leave the city, but their increasing
numbers may make it necessary, in the
opinion of Police Chief Bowen, to adopt
stricter measures. Nearly all have more
or less money, generally enough to give
some foundation for their assertion that
they are looking for work.

EGG CONTEST IDEA SPREAD

1t is surprising to see the rap

The boarder COW is slowly but
surely being eliminated through
the assistance of COW testing as

poultrymen to get rid of the
boarder hen has made progress
more rapidly. Whether cows,
hens, crops or fences, the "un-

that egg laying contests help

LONDON, Aug. 4. 8.35 p. m. Having in

Pie at public meetings held tonight in
e.ery city, town and hamlet in the United
hiagdom, the dominions and colonies,
declared their "belief in the justice of
our cause and firm determination not to
look to the right or to the left until the
goal of victory is achieved"
The principal meeting in England was
held in the London Opera house. This
vas attended by Princess Victoria and
other members of the royal family, and
was addressed by Arthur J. Balfour, Sir
Robert l.. Borden and the Marquis of
Urewe. Other ministers and leaders ad-
lressed large audiences at various other
Important centers.
Messages were read at the London
meeting from France and Russia, and
from every corner of the British empire.
Mr., Balfour moved, and Sir Robert Bor-
den seconded, the following resolution,
which was carried by acclamation:
That on the anniversary of the war
this meeting of the people of London re-
cords its infexible determination to con-
tinue to victorious end the struggle in
the maintenance of those ideals of liber-
ty and jnstice which are the common and
sacred cause of all our allies
Mr.. Balfour said there was no need to
impress upon the meeting the resolve of
the nation to pursue the great controver-
sy to the end.
England, he continued, had never pro-
tessed to great army at the start ano
only offered to send out 100. 900 men. The
casualties of the British army already
We're three times that number. What
England had done far exceeded what was
originally expected, but. it was only part
of what she was going to do.
He was confident that historians would
say that as this country had played its
part in maritime matters, SO it had in ne
sense fallen short of what it could do ir
military matters.
The Canadian premier, after eulogizing
the British army, said he was assured Of
the triumph of the cause. Canada. b
declared, was inspired. by an infiexiblt
