 look to uphold the principles and guard the welfare of the nation in the hour of trouble. These facts seem to show conclusive evidence of the truth of the declaration voiced by Young that that true patriotism is rapidly declining, at least among the foreign born element in the face of the issues raised by the great great European struggle. This condition is, of course, not properly designated as one of disaffeetion. Those who are. as Young puts it. "reservins their loyalty for foreign countries" are not dissatisfied with either the condi- tions not the principles of this coun- try. This Is proven by the fact that they are clearly content to remain here With few exceptionsall are willing to psrtake of the benefits thiss country be- native land and few indeed have any thought of returning to their former homes to reside. They are apparently "good citizens in every way and yet in the hour when the issue lies between the land of their birth and the home of their adoption. their hearts turn first of all to the former We cannot blame
 man for loving the soil whereon he was born and which autured his early being. The land which gives us birth is. and should be. sacred. should he revered as holy ground until the end of our period of existence and to it We should give the best that in us lies as long as we remain citizen. This l. natural and right But when we re-
 nounce that land and turn our back
 upon it for the benefits of another this
 natural feeling does not justify our
 turning away from the land of ouI
 adoption when the issue lies between
 the two.
 Such action obtains no Justification ir in the sight of either gods nor men. And yet this Is exactly the attitude of large portion of our citizens. They are willing to take of what the nation has to give while espousing the cause of the land of their former allegiance, The question in so far as it affects our selves is: Are these really good citi- zens?" and Does the existence of such attitude constitute a menace to the nation?" What the answer is one would scarcely venture to say because of a great and overwhelming doubt W hich cannot be relieved until the fina
 risis shall arise. It is in the hou. of trial that the test must come: il the final moment when the parting of the ways lies clear before and men must choose and make their final decision What would be the fate of the United States under certain conditions, which are not beyond the realm of probabil- fly, with large portion of the citizen body of this doubtful state of mind, one cannot even surmise with any degree of exactitude Whether the nation would be sacrificed to this spirit of undeviat- ing allegiance to a foreign power. re- gardless of oaths and obligations, one cannot tell. Does 1t constitute a men, ace or not?

CLIFFORD BOUND OVER.
Claimed He Found Door Open and
Went In To SIeeP-Has No Living
Relatives.

Louis Clifford pleaded to breaking
and entering the Alexander house at
Attawaugan crossing when he was ar
rais.ied in the town court before
Judge Woodward Friday afternoon.
Not being able to furnish the bond of
$500 after having been bound over for
trial at the September term of the
superior court. he was taken to jail.
All that Clifford said in his own de-
fence wa sthat he found the door Of
the house unlocked and went In to
sleep, claiE1G,g he had no home and
could not stand the heavy rains. He
pleaded with Judge Woodward for Inn
mediate sentence, but the court ex-
planned to him that the case was of a
nature beyond the jurisdiction Of the
local tribunal
Clifford told Chief Pilling during the
time he was held at the local police
station that he has no living relatives.
He claims to be able to speak and
write four languages, but evidently
has never learned, with all Of his
studying, to keep out Of trouble.
The chairs that are missing from the
Alexander home and which Clifford
says he saw men carrying away in a
wagon have been traced to Putnam by
Michael Grimshaw, who has been in
vestigating the case. Curtains that
Clifford says he gave to an Attawau-
gan woman have not been found.

trict schoo1house in Canterbury as

The girls spent the week In sports of
all kinds. including bathing. cycle rid
ing and ball playing. Two camphres
were held on the premises OF Marshall
Frink. at which ghost stories were
told, and one evening two veritable
ghosts appeared. The girls chased
them for Is minutes until they disap-
peared- The warhoop was sounded
and the war dance began around the
blazing fire. Many visitors from the
neighborhood were present. as well as
from Brooklyn. The neighbors all
through the week showed their inter-
est by contributing to the rations of
the girls. Over 10 people visited the
camp during the week. The girls were
so well pleased that they are talking
seriously OF building permanent bar
racks. No better organization exists
for girls.

WHERE THE WAVES BREAK ON
THE COAST.

Dear Editor and Friends of The Cor
ner: 1t surely Is some time since
have written to The Gunner, land in
response to many inquiries regarding
my silence viii now write you while
have an abundance Of leisure, sitting
here on the rocks, the water splashing
all around me. here on the rocky coast
OF Maine. This is a grand and won
derful place to the lover Of nature The
scene is ever changeful from the placid
waters of the ocean to the boisterous
waves as they dash in fury against the
gigantic mass Of stone, or upon the
pebbly beach: and on its surface can
always be seen steamers and boats of
every kind.
Here and there are many islands,
and one could easily imagine they
were among the Thousand Islands.
One Of the views / have is of the
land rising up from the waters edge
from twelve to fifteen hundred feet.
Everywhere are evergreen trees and
beautiful cottages nestled close to the
waters edge, or situated on cliffs
among the evergreen trees.
Such mammoth rocks and clfffsi One
stands appalled, before them-such a
harmless thing as a drop Of water, but
the combination of many wears such
frightfuI chasms and caves in solid
rock that we realize the statement that
constant dripping wears away a
stone"
1 wish to thank all who remembered
me with cards for my birthday. I had
quite a shower.
Dom Pedro: was glad to meet you
at the lake. and hope to again. ! re-
ceived your card all right. Many
thanks.
Aunt Sarah: I wish you would send
nj your recipe for that bow-knot
cake. It was delicious.
Balsam Fir: think you have chosen
a very appropriate pen name. I have
become interested in ba1sam FIR.
Frozen: / think your name is very
appropriate, too, as sometimes have
been almost frozen here, which is a
novelty this time of year, but yet I like
this climate, il Is so cool.

cions of you. Wasn't 1 sitting in the
