Counting the Cost.

The great war has already created a
number of puzzles which are not likely
to be cleared up until peace affords an
opportunity for unprejudiced study OF
phases of the conflict about which much
uncertainty must exist while hostilities
continue Among these doubtful ques-
tions NAV be included the reason, or rea-
sons, underlying the repeated Zeppelin
raids on England. 1t often has been
pointed out that on the score OF the
military advantage there does not ap-
pear to have been much return Tor the
effort expended, the risk run, and the
losses suffered by the invading air heets,
though here it must be borne IN MIND
TINT the accounts of the operations which
have reached this country have been
mostly by way of British channels OF
communication. Doubtless, the Germans
believe their Zeppelins have done vast
" more damage than their foes Will ad-
init. 1t is also probable that the po-
Itical effect at home of those air
raids is carefully counted upon. Inc
advocates OF the policy of "frighttulness"
should find equal comfort in bombing cit
les and sinking ships by submarine at
tack.
On the other hand, German officialdom
can but be aware of the spur to British
recruiting which was supplied by the
lowering battleships of the air and the
general nerving of John Bull to fight out
the war to finish, while the effect upon
the opinion of the neutral nations is not
a matter of doubt. If Germany loses
in the war, the civilian victims OF her
air raids will stand for one of the items
in the heavy bill of costs she will have to
nav. and from the neutral world there
viii be few protests that she should not
pay it to the full.
Germany is not beaten yet, by any
manner of means. It may be that she
will not be beaten, but the odds against
her success are vastly greater than they
appeared TO be year ago. Undoubtedly
her chances are calculated nowhere more
coollv than in her own general stan. To
the outside observer this fact adds to the
wonder about the basic notion Of the
Zeppelin campaign. Verify, there must
be a reason appealing TO the Judgment
az some OF the worlds eleverest strate-
eists. but Just what it may be Is vet to
b- exrlained ed.-Mancheste Union.

Miss Ernestine Porter of New Shar-

task with remarkable skill and her
poem entitled "Birthright," was of es-

approval Of the class and audience and
winning for herself the just title of
poet laureate.

Lindsay, a prize winner in many speaking

one Of the most interesting of the program.
Then came the real amusing part of the
program the prophecies of the class re-

Miss B. Antoinette Ware of Waterville. With
the wit and foresight Of a veritable witch
