Forestry Appropriation.

The first matter to receive the at
tentiOn of the Council was that of the
taking from the forestry appropriation
the sum Of $4,000, which shall revert
to the State treasury, on account of an
equal amount advanced for forestry
work in 1914, in accordance with a law
passed in 1919 the same to be repaid.
The order as passed reads:
Whereas, in 1914, $4,000 was appro-
priated from the revenue in the treas
ury for the benefit of the Maine For

POWnal Plumbing Contract

j. w. Knight of Knights Bros & Co.
OF Westbrook presented claim in rela-
ton to contract for the plumbing in a
building at the Home for Feeble Minded
at Hownal. He said that in September
or last year his firm submitted a bid for
the work, accompanied by a certified
check for $99.S6, per requirement. The
matter ran along until the firm heard
that the other bidders's checks had been
returned, but was not notified Of being
awarded the CONTRACT. When informed it
was late In December and prices had so
advanced that the supposed profit of $500
was gone and loss of $500 was faced.
The engineer said not to buy the material.
on account of coming changes In the
plans. The loss faced now is $500 and the
firm asks the return of the check. The
contract has been returned, as the firm
considers the terms broken by the delay
and the engineers instructions to await
purchasing.
DR.. Hedin, so far as he knew about the
matter, thought the action of the trustees
and engineer was proper and that the
Knight firm was duly notified and forfeit
ed the check through not complying with
the terms. He had, by order of the trus-
tees. retained the check, though demand
ed by knight Bros. & Co., and in Febru.
airy had cashed it,

For SALARY Increases,

DR.. Carl j. Hedin, superintendent OF
the Home for Feeble Minded at Pow
nal, appeared and recommended the in
employees on the employees force of the
institution. largely for the purpose of
obtaining and retaining competent and
reliable persons. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on feeble

The nomination Of John H. McLaugh-
lin of Whitefield as an agent for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals was
laid before the Council for action, Gov.
Curtis announcing that petitions for
the confirmation and protests against
such action had been received. The pro-
tests were from the county commits
sioners of Knox county-A. B. Gray, A.
Y. Patterson and A. B. Packard-who
stated that Mr.. McLaughlin's bills had
been so unsatisfactory that they would
ask that he not be re-appointed. The
county commissioners of Lincoln coun-
ty-C. w. Gallagher, J. Edward Knight
and 3. Frank Nannah-also opposed
the confirmation. A petition headed by
Harold r. Smith and signed by "A 9TH

papers and stating the case.

And as no one did oppose, the Coun-
Gil voted to confirm.

A STANDING ARMY
DOES NOT MAKE WAR

This party was standing in the ro-
tunda Of the State House and like
many another group wherever found
was discussing the situation on the
Mexican border and the prospects for
our National Guard being called to
service Some one expressed the view
that there was actually no need even
of a National Guard, to say nothing of
a standing army, beyond enough to
do police duty and furnish a guard of
honor and escort for few high Of
ficials. He also thought that such or
plantations lead to keeping the
thoughts Of war constantly before the
minds Of the people and tended to stir
up strife or. feelings leading that way.
Adjutant General Presson was quiet
ly listening, saying nothing. but when
the other fellow ended the general
said:
IF the possession Of a sufficient or
even of a superfluous military estab-
lishment is to be regarded as a menace
to the peace of a country. 1t would
seem that we might reasonably hold
the converse to be true and look for Sc
curity. from war in q lack Of prepared
ness. To find an answer to this, we
have only to search the history of this
country. No country Of any import
ance on earth has ever enjoyed less
degree Of real military preparedness
than has ours, yet war has attended
every step in our development. The
country was born from the sufferings
Of the Revolutionary War and it has
averaged a war every 80 years Of It's
existence as nation.
1.-THE TACT Of the matter is extremely
simple. We have only to remember
that armies do not cause war. They
do not make for wars. The causing or
making for and bringing about. Of
whatever you may choose to call 1t. Of
wars, is chargeable solely to the peo-
pie. Their interests are the only cause
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-03-29

which can bring about war. The duly
elected and presumably responsible
representatives, the statesmen, are the
only ones who can set the machinery
Of war in operation. The army Is
merely an instrument for bringing
about the speediest possible conclusion
to the trouble. once the people through
their representatives have inaugurated
it. The army Is an enert machine, in
capable Of action either for or against
until the will Of the people galvanizes
1t into a living instrument of destruc-
ton and gives direction to its efforts.
1t Is a watchdog tied in the front yard.
incapable of harming anybody or any,
thing until it is loosed by It's owner.
"As matter of fact. there is no
man on earth who breads war SO much
or as keenly as does the trained soldier.
The better the soldier he is, the more
he breads it. The reason Is not hard to
understand. There is no man on earth
who can appreciate what war means
as does the soldier. To the eyes of the
soldier alone is war completely strip
ped Of its glory. To him alone it stands
out clearly In all Of its naked and re-
pulsive horror. To the soldier who
has gone through battle, the thought of
war recalls a succession Of days and
| nights blended into a jumbled night
mare Of toll and deprivation. of agoniz-
| ing doubt and dumb apprehension:
nightmare of sweating. choking, starry
| ing days and of reeking, troubled and
sodden nights. To that man, war has
no inspiration. He has faced it's butch
cry and he has seen comrades go down
to deaths of mangled agony under it's
merciless heel. To him who has seen
| it, there is not one moment to be re-
called with pleasure. There are few
whose memory of it does not cause a
| shudder Of horror. The soldier has no
| illusions about war. With him it is a
grim business, an offensive task to kill
and MAIN human beings in an imper-
sonal performance Of duty imposed up
on him and his country. ,>"' 80
