are constantly reaching out for for
eign markets and trade. Suppose in
so doing we come in conflict with
another capitalistic government and
the conflict eliminates in clash of
arms? The other government does
not believe in religious tolerance, free
public schools, universal suffrage. If
we fight and win the working classes
will have to pay the cost of the war.
If we fight and lose we may lose
these institutions which we hold so
dear. Are these things worth de-
Tending? If they are we must pre-
pare to defend them. How will we do
so, so as not to create Franken-
stein to destroy us?
Should we not first of all strive to
see that all war material be made
by the government and none by pri-
Tate capital? Private capital has a
way of making causes for war to Gre
ate a market for their product. Here
is beginning for state socialism.
Now as to men for army and navy.
The most unjust and wicked of all
systems is the volunteer system. BY
this system the very ones whose
ideals are the highest whose man
hood is the greatest and whose will
ingness for sacrifice is the strongest,
are the ones to pay the greatest price,
while the Indifferent and careless
ones remain at home to enjoy the
blessing of peace without paying the
price. Besides, strange as it may
seem to some, the compulsory sys-
TEN is the most democratic system of
national defense. Switzerland and
her citizen army is case in point.
Preparation for national defense is
only to retain the ideals we have
while we are working for a revolu-
ton of our social life. Revolutions
always come from within, and they
can only come when the people are

A TEACHERS VIEW. Mr.. Max
Loeb, one of the appointees of the
board of education, states in one of
our daily papers that the Teachers
Federation in joining with the FEEDER
alton of Labor is unique for the fol-
lowing reasons:
(a) "The teachers are outside Of
the competitive wage field"
Yes, but we are not outside of the
our schedules set aside.
(b) ''The teachers are working for
an employer who is amenable to pub
lie opinion"
Public opinion is widely divergent.
amenable to the consensus of public
opinion they can heed the voice of
labor when they plead the cause of
the children, schools and teachers Of
our city.
(c) There is an ethical and moral
element in a teachers occupation
that is present in no other"

have fewest opportunities oD.ain out
of-door recreation during lne year are
very likely to have the play fever in a
most virulent form. The sober and
dignified man, who sits all day and ev.
cry day in sober and dignifed Office
feels that he really must get out some
where, where the grass is green and
the air is clean, and kick his sober
heels far toward the sky and release
series of startling whoops from his
dignifed interior. So, granting that
this is the time when people who work
desire to play out of doors, is it sur
prising that the people whose work is
called playing should also have the
fever of spring? Just as the regular
indoor workers get the fever, so do
the players-and each year more and
more of the players are ending their
seasons work with out-of-door perfor-
mances.

CURIOUS LIZARD OF MAINE
Spotted SaIamander Declared Not Un

der Maine Gossip, you tell of a curl
> osity somewhat resembling
an alligator nine inches long
with bright yellow spots along its
Sides" found by Mr.. Blanding OF
Great Pond.
This creature is a spotted salaman
der (Amblystoma punctatum) and is
an amphibian, like the frogs, but il
much more closely related to the
nevis or salamanders of our streams
commonly miscalled lizards.
The spotted salamander is not rare
in this state, but is not often seen
because it is a night feeder lying con
cealed in moist spots during the day
At this time of year it may be found
in pools and puddles, at night, where
it goes to deposit its eggs, which &C
cur in roundish masses Of transparent
jelly, resembling frog spawn.
The young, when first Matched, swim
freely in the water, and breathe by
means of fringed gills on the sides OF
the head. When they have attained
length of two or three inches they
begin to breathe by means of lungs,
the gills are gradually absorbed and
the youngsters begin to travel about
on land
have kept two of these salaman
ders in glass tank in the house for
two or three years past, with plants
and moist moss for shelter. They are
very tame, and will eat quantities OF
earth worms, slugs and insects, but
are not very active.-Bangor CONNER
