gained and Mr.. Hill was chosed direc-
tor and was its first president. At the
last annual meeting, not being able to
attend, ne sent request to be dropped as
a director. The company voted no, so
he was a director from its inception to
the close of his life, period of forty
four years. He was prominent in advo
eating the Georges Valley railroad and
was one of the early directors. The town
of Warren chose him for a selectmen
several years ago. He was the Oldest
in membership of Union lodge of Ma
sons, being a member ffty-five years.
The positions held by him were unsought.
He worked for the interest of the varl-
GUS causes in which he was engaged.
Honesty, straightforwardnes and gen
lal disposition, made him many friends.
Enemies he had none. Some II wears
ago he gave the management of
his farm TO his son Lewis and moved
to Union, where his wife, formerly
Olive Hall, died four years ago. As
they had kindly cared for others. they in
turn were tenderly cared for in their clos

her husband, Edwards A. Matthews.
He is survived by three children, viz:
Lewis j. Hills of Warren; DR.. Charles
E. Hills of South Natick, Mass, and
Mrs. Matthews. His funeral was with

should have to increase the output of our

J suppose Mr.. Bryan could handle over
night.
From these general considerations it
Is evident thatt the material necessities
of war require the entire material re
sources of the whole Nation.
1.-The great mistake that the Allies
have made is being shamefully unpre-
pared for war and Understanding the
physical and moral strength of the Ger
mans. l am pro, Ally, and in my mind
it is a serious menace to our cause that
the whole truth should not be known and
understood
The brag of the English papers in the
beginning has led to lack of confidence
IN the present British leadership.
Churchill was to dig out the German
Navy like rats, but was almost caught
in the German rattrap at Antwerp. Big
howistzers, according to British experts
were SO much junk.
The Dardanelles were easy taking and
Easter service was to be held by the AL
lies under the dome of St. Sophia. Prus-
slanlsm and mllitarlsm were to be crush
ed and the poor Germans relieved of the
bonds of their autocratlc rulers.
Meanwhile the Germans of all
classes, old men and boys, civilians, not
soldiers, were Fastening of their own
free will for the love of their Fatherland
to its defense. The Allies are not fight
ing lsms, they are fighting Germans. -
MIR. Hammond then described the evo-
lutions of the big gun. ''The whole
trend of modern warfare is to injure the
enemy as much as possible from dis
lance and thereby conserve your own
forces he said.
Today the tonnage of the battleship
is reaching the 10000 marx. In speak
ing with one of our Naval constructors
some years ago | asked him why, instead
of wasting money and time in building
battleships in progressive series of
steps, each step increasing the size of
the battleship, why they did not jump
Immediately to the so, 600 ton battle
ship and thereby save the useless ex-
pense of all intermediate classes?
He acknowledged that there was no
question but that the ships would ulti-
mately reach this tremendous size, but
he SAID that while the Naval expert
knew of this fact, it would be impossi-
bic to educate Congress to it, and there
fore the gradual transitions were neces-
sary although the many steps Involved
would all be relegated to the junk heap
as the final steps were reached. The
Panama Canal is limited to a 43, O00.ton
ship.

THE PAGEANT OF 1865
To be Repeated at the G. A. R. Encamr.
ment This Year in Washington.

Fifty years ago, July 4th, the victori-
GUS Union armies, fresh from the bat
tlefelds of the Civil war and the surren-
der at AppomattoX, marched down Penn.
sylvania avenue in Washington. 1t was
a grand review of the war-scarred le-
gions of Grant and Sherman, of Meade
and Sheridan, and the other famous COM
manders whose "boys in blue" had pre-
served the Union. President johnson
and General Grant were in the review
ing stand as the veterans swung proudly
past to the exulting music of their bands,
while the battle flags that had flown
on hundred bloody fields waved over
the triumphant host.
This thrilling pageant of national in.
terest will be reproduced as far as pos
sible during the 49th annual encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, which will be held in Washington,
Sept. 27-Oct Sd, next. 1t will be the
59th anniversary of the Grand Review.
Thousands of the same veterans who
marched in that review half century
ago, uniformed in the Union blue, will
again keep step to martial music down
Pennsylvania avenue, and pass in par
ade before President Wilson and mem
bers of his cabinet. 1t will be the last
time the veterans will march in Washing
ton, and the last time that hundreds of
them will ever again attend an encamp-
ment, as the aged men are fast passing
away.

DANGERO IS PREACHINCS.
Bangor Commercial. ]


The attempt upon the life of one
of the great financiers of the coun-
try, the effort to destroy the nation
al capitol and the whispers of an even
blacker plot behind have naturally and
properly aroused the nation to the dan
gers that threaten and are constantly
made greater and more imminent by the
silly clamorings for peace movements and
the worse than silly announcements by
such men as Bryan against the position
taken by our national administration.
In times of quiet and rest, more of less
criticism of the government has become
a habit in this country but it is quite an
other thing to criticise the administration
in such a critical period as the present
when President Wilson, wisely, calmly
and prudently, is guiding the ship of
State through the tortuous channels,
standing for neutrality fair and absolute,
and at the same time insisting that the
rights of his nation and it's people shall
be protected and recognized by all belli-
gerents and that there shall be no in
frlngement upon them. A real man is
filling great position and the nation has
no federation with any Bryan criticisms
We are in critical times and no milk and
water policies will serve. There must
be firmness, there must be stand for
our rights. The country is full of Ger
man spies and there is every effort being
made to arouse sentim ent for Germany
1t was such effort as this that inspired
Holt In his murderous attack upon Mr..
Morgan, and such efforts place in danger
the lives of our great men and the sancti-
ty of our institutions.
All wish to see a proper peace, but the
ministers who are preaching the doctrine
of peace at any price are doing wrong
full thing; when they argue that the Unit
ed States should not permit the sale of
munitions they would take away our
rights as nation. Such doctrine arouses
hysterical people to deeds of violence.
Life is real and government is real We
need our great men, we must have firm
and stable government that will protect
our own and command the respect of the
whole world.

IN OLD CASTINE.
An Enjoyable Outing of the Bangor and the

address on the earliest DAYS of Castlne.
Charles W. Noyes of New York, for
mer resident of Castine, who has been
untirlng in efforts to mark and preserve
the historical points in Castine, spoke in
most interesting manner on Fort
Pentagoet and The Early History of
CastIne. 1t was most comprehensive
and valuable historical paper. He
was followed sby DR.. Geo. A. Wheel
er. who has written history of Castine
and is an authority on many matters
pertaining to the early history. He took
as: his topic. Castine During the Revo-
lutionary Period and the War of 1872.
Thursday was spent by the visitors in
inspecting the various points of interest
and at night exercises were held in the
Unitarian church, one of the Oldest
structures of the town.
Prof. Warren K. Moorehead of the de-
partment of archaeology of Phillips aca-
deny. Andover, Mass, and a Castine
summer resident. told of his investiga-
ton of ancient shell heaps thereabouts
and of the many interesting deductions
drawn by him from them.
One of the most intensely interesting
addresses to the visitors was that given
by Mrs. Louise Wheeler Bartlett on the
Taverns, Stage Drivers and Newspapers
of early Castine.
