THE MAIDSTONE

EOST persons, especially those in rural districts,

physicians asked whether there is actually any
virtue in these stones Their is that they do
possess value but that they would be of still
value were their limitations understood
There is particular variety of stone substance
that may be designated exclusively the maidstone
Many madstones, so called, have been examined, and
it has been found that but few of them were geoogcay

Madstones it appears, act the principle that

ing dry red brick in with the margin
of a puddle of water, and observing what capillary
attraction will accomplish.
In order to be efficient therefore, the prime requisite
is that the stone shall be porous and show strong
adhesive and absorbent qualities. There is nothing
mysterious about the true maidstone Some have APP

There is truth in the statement that if stone

London, Nov. 11-Premier Asquith
was to have asked the British Hou9e
OF Commons yesterday for vote of
credit of G4O0,000,000 ($2.O00,000,-

action, which was postponed until to-

his expected statement in regard to

Mr.. Asquith continued, were the great
expenditures for munitions and the
advances to Great Britain's allies

no hope of a decrease in those two
items. On the contrary they are like

Force Of 100000 Men, "a Regular,

Chicago, Nov. 10-Natonal pre-
paredness for defense was advocat,
ed by former President William II.
Taft, in an address delivered here to-
night before the National Security
League at a banquet in a downtown
hotel.
The present position of the nation
and its lack of adequate preparedness
for defense, together with review
of what additions to the army and
navy he considered advisable, were
outlined by Mr. Taft, who said:
do not let us sacrifice the nation
al security to an academic theory or
the wish to vindicate it.
Il find myself somewhere between
Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt and
others-utterly at variance with Mr..
Bryan's view, but not going as far as
Mr. Roosevelt in the amount of pre-
paration needed or practicable said
Mr.. Taft.
'Mr. Bryan says that no nation is
going to attack us, and that no prep
aration makes us truculent and ag-
gressive,' Is it likely that We shall
invite war because we are merely
ready to defend ourselves than that
nations will attack us because we are
helpless? There is only one answer
TO this question-our people are not
for war at any time, except to stop
wrong. The assumption that all ma
tions will do us justice will not Sc
cure Justice ~
Speaking of the European war, Mr.
Taft outlined what he termed 'reas-
enable preparation" He said the
American navy should be equal to
that OF Germany-not the size of Eng
lands, he said because of Great
Britains habit of arbitration for a
hundred years and because it has no
standing army"
He said American coast defenses
were as good as any in the world. but
that the navy needed 80 per cent
increase, including $4,000 men and
900 Offices. The National Guard
should be increased to 125,000 men,
and the standing army to $4,000 with
volunteer reserve of 100000 men.
Speaking of the administration
defense plans, he said
The beard of Inventors is as I'M
practicable as board of opera sing
ers." A board OF naval experts was
needed, he said. Mr.. Taft thought,
however, that the change of heart of
the administration as to defense is a
good sign. and we should welcome

Rev, FIR Provost first came to Ben

was a mission for the French people
at North Bennington, but there was
no parish in this village. With the
coming of Father Provost, the two
villages were given separate parish
es. He has been the pastor for 20
years and therefore probably has a
wider knowledge of the family his
tories of the French people of Ben
nington than any one person.
