boarded the train at the woodland sta

Editor kennebec Journal
you say that it is high time to make
plain the determination Of the Ameri-
can people.
If you are not satisfied with what
the President is doing. why do you
not offer some suggestions as to what
should be done at this time, instead OF
implying that the President should
accomplish something which is beyond
his reach? In the humble opinion OF
some of US who have more or less
sympathy with the German side OF the
question, the President is up
stump" Now, considering that no
more can be gained by reiterating
first one side and then the other OF
the controversy. just what would you
do next, supposing you were Presi.
dent Of the United States?

as follows:

paper that there are many at this

to call attention to a simple remedy
which proved very efficacious in my
own case and which has effected

Nebraskan Flag
Plainly Visible

London, May 3o.--The British ad-
miralty's statement that the American
steamship Nebraskan was torpedoed
by German submarine and not
mined, was corroborated today by
members OF the crew of the schooner
June Rose. of ArkIow. and OF the
schooner Senator Dantizer. which
have reached port.
Michael Austin. mate of the June
Rose, and William Hennessy. cook of
the same craft, said after reaching
Crookhaven that they saw a German
submarine chasing the Nebraskan for
several hours before the vessel finally
was torpedoed, and that the American
flag was flying on the Nebraskan dur
ing the chase. 1t was utterly impos-
sible, they said. for the commander
Of the submarine not to know the
nationality Of the vessel.

is far from the German Government to

The fiuke started matters by get

She attempted to haul him up and in
doing so began to tip the rowboat

tips the scales at ESQ pounds, scram-
bled to his wife's aid. The boat turned
over and the fiuke got away.

REGULATION
FAILURE, SAY PINcH0T
Government Ownership Is the Only
solution, Amos Declares In Speech
ON East Sidr.

New York, May 30.--Government
ownership OF railroads is the only
solution OF the Industrial problem in
the United States, said Amos Pinchot
in a speech at the East side Forum
tonight, charging that the influence
of great corporations over the rail-
roads Is still such that small pro-
ducers cannot get equal rates that
will enable them to compete with
their larger rivals.
"At present industrial America Is
producing at least a third less than
AZ ought to produce" ne said. ut
Is also using perhaps a third less la
Dor than 1t ought to use. Why Ia
this? 1t Is because our great cap
tains of industry have found that
they can make money by only turn
ing out OF their mills, miles and
factories as much product as they
can sell TO the public at fancy prices
Now the means by which this re-
restriction of product ana kiting OF
prices is accomplished is largely the
control over transportation that BfI-
xate ownership of railroads gives to
the dominating group in each in
dustry. Through the alliance between
our great Industrial producers and
our railroads. the former are not
only able to drive other producers
out OF business. but to keep possible
producers from getting into business.
In this way they hold down the VOL
ume of coal. oil, steel besfs and other
commodities that ore made ana sold
to the people Of the United States.
But you say, Cannot the Inter
state Commerce Commission make
the railroads give transportation TO
all on equal terms The answer La
emphatically No. They do not. and
cannot, and never will. Even the
most arient advocates OF regulation

each day.
That Is the opinion Of many OF the

the first Sunday since Billy's farewell

the churches have been opened in two
months. as II was arranged to keep
them closed on Sundays while Billy
was holding his revival.
Fifteen of the leading ministers
with whom your correspondent talked
today said that they had unusually
large attendances, and have had many
people join their churches. 1t Is esti-
mated that between $1,000 and 10000
persons attended today the churches
which were interested In BilIy.s re-
yival. This is about three thousand
more than the average attendance be-
fore Billy came to town.
The ministers are enthusiastic over
the success OF the revival success
which they believe has not exhibited
1t full strength. as they say that the
results OF Biliy's exhortation will con-
-tiAHe to spread.
Almost four hundred new members
