Eagle Couldn't Stand Captivity

The eagle which was being held in
captivity at the farm of Michael
Trierweiler, died last week and the
carcass was on exhibition at Ken
nedy's store, where it attracted con-
siderable attention. This bird was
once quite common in these parts,
but is now seldom seen here. The
big bird had been robbing memories
in the vicinity Of Maple Corners and
was shot after attacking Mr.. Trier-
weiler's son.-Portland Review.

H. e. Coles of the engineering staff

learned not to be too friendly with
hornets A few days ago when he was
eating his luncheon hornet came
along. He gave him something to eat.
The visitor called his mate. The fol-
lowing day four hornets ate luncheon
with him, and on the next day as Mr.
Coles opened his pail a whole swarm
of hornets came lighting on him and
his luncheon. He took to the tall and

The CONNER cial complications
which seem to be arising between
Germany and Great Britain may be-
come more serious to the United
States than is now anticipated. The
war zone of Germany extends all
along the coast of France and Eng
land, and any innocent neutral YES
sci is liable to be captured if not
blown up at any time. The primary
cause is the desperation to which
Germany is apparently driven in OBJ
tanning food and other supplies. If
any one will examine the map Of
Europe, he can not help understand
ing that, with the allies at war
against her, she has but little chance
for external commerce. Germany is
right in the teeth of a mighty con-
flict and is struggling for her very
existence with a prospect of being
finally defeated by the overwhelming
numbers nov arrayed against her,
In such situation of desperation,
she is using the most strenuous
measures to preserve her existence.
Under the circumstances, the sit
uation of America is most delicate;
but, whatever may happen, we should
zealously avoid any conflict with a
country whose territory extends the
whole length of our northern border.
For many years, we have lived side
by side with no machinery of war no
forts, nothing military of any kind
between us, and we predict that it
would require an extremely serious
struggle to create any difficulty be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain which could not be settled by
arbitration.

The bill granting municipal suf-
frage to women, which has already
passed the State Senate, will prob
ably pass the House, be signed by
the Governor and become law. No
one doubts that there is a very large
body of intelligent women in the
country who ought to have a right
to vote; but a serious difficulty
arises in this State, because there is
a property qualification for the right
of suffrage, and there is no provision
in the constitution whereby women
pay capitation tax; therefore, the
legislature has no power to grant
the right of franchise to women who
have no property. This is an uni lst
discrimination. There are as many
or more intelligent women among
the non-property holding class as
among the others. The simple fact
that some women have been more
