UNCLE JERRY'S DIST BIRTHDAY.

The home of Jerry and H. H. D. Smith
was made happy Feb. l4th, the event
being in honor of Uncle Jerry's 91st
birthday, he being the oldest resident of
Dixmont He is active and in good
health, as keen of mind as ever and
everybody enjoys chat with him. Mrs.
Smith died many years ago, as did his
daughter, and he and his son now
live together. Several men recently
came with their axes and worked at the
woodpile splitting wood and the women
furnished fine picnic dinner which was
enjoyed by all. In the afternoon the
host favored them with several se]ec-
tions on the fiageolet and his son played
fife. Then the good old hymns were
sung, all joining in the chorus. There
were about 20 present. An original
poem was read and prayer offered, fol
lowed by a speech from Uncle Jerry,
thanking all for remembering him in SO
many pleasant ways. Then all sang God
Be With You Till We Meet Again, and
left, feeling that the day had been we'll
spent and will long be remembered.

personal liberty, but the European war
has changed all that, and little book,
"The Jews in the Eastern War Zone, "
published by the American Jewish Com
mittee of New York, reveals conditions
which it is hard to realize can exist in
this supposedly enlightened and christian
age. When the war broke out one-half
of the Jewish population of the world
was trapped in a corner of Eastern
Europe that is absolutely shut off from
all neutral lands and from the sea. And
there seven million Jews have borne the
brunt of the war. Behind them was
Holy Russia, closed to them by the May
laws of 1881. In front were hostile
Germany and Austria. To the south was
unfriendly Roumania. They were over
whelmed where they stood, and over
their bodies crossed and recrossed the
German armies from the west, the Rus
sian armies from the east and the Aus
trian armies from the south" The fol-
lowing paragraph tells what these people
have had to endure:
Hundreds of thousands were forced
from their homes in days notice, the
more fortunate being packed and ship
ped as freight-the old, the sick and in
sane, men, women and children, shuttled
from one province to another, sidetrack-
ed for days without food or help of any
kind-the less fortunate driven into the
woods and swamps to die of starvation
Jewish towns were burned and sacked
wantonly. Hundreds of Jews were car
ried off as hostages into Germany, Aus
tria and Russia. Orgies of lust and tort
ure took place in public in the light of day.
There are scores of villages where not
single woman was left inviolate. Women,
od-ard- young, were stripped and knout-
ed in the public squares. Jews were
burned alive in synagogues where they
had fled for shelter Thousands were
executed on the fiimsiest pretext or
from sheer cruelty.
This sums up what is given in detail in
this little book, whose sole purpose is to
appeal to human sympathy and to the
conscience of the world in the cause of
jnstice. The compilers ask that it ''be
regarded as message from the silent
millions of Russia to the people of
America" as it 'gives utterance to
their protest against the cruelties and
indignities to which their Jewish COM
patriots have been subjected"

Arthur C. Tapley. Boston & Maine railroad
employee for half century and ticket agent
at the Haverhill station for nearly IS years,
died Feb. 18th at the Hale Hospital in Haver-
hill after undergoing an operation. Mr.. Tap
ley was famed, throughout New England as the
organizer of the Railroad Gospel Service,
which he instituted Is years ago by conducting
gospel services at the Haverhill depot each
Sunday afternoon. At the end of each year he
directed a monster gospel meeting at the

notable speakers from all over New England.
Mr.. Tapley was a native of Winterport, Me-,
and was 70 years old. He entered the employ
of the Boston & Maine Railroad as a telegraph
er and later became a baggagemaster at Sal
mon Falls, Me-, and at Melrose, Mass About 35
We .rs ago he was appointed ticket agent at the
Haverhill station and held that position up to
the time of his death. By reason of his long
service at the depot he was probably the best
known citizen of Haverhill. He was never

interested in civic affairs. He was a member

voted his time during summer months to his
own gospel services, which became famed

principles and thoroughly dependable under
all circumstances. In her religious belief she
was Unitarian and was a constant student of

regular attendant of the First Parish church
and an interested member of its allied socie-
ties She was interested in the Girls Home and

friends, saying that she still enjoyed life but
was willing to go and had all her personal ar

tails, Monday she was up street as usual in

With the persecution of the Armen-
ians by the Turks the reading public has
been made familiar. Persecution is,
however, too mild word to character
ize the murders, the tortures, the name
less outrages, to which the Armenians
have been subjected by the unspeakable
Turks. Under the leadership of German
officers these outrages have been COM
mitted by wholesale, until good authori-
ties say that more than million Armen-
ian men, women and children have been
put to death-shot down in cold blood,
dubbed, stoned, starved or burned to
death. Their religion is their only Of
Tending. The Turks and their barbarian
allies of the desert believe that killing
christians is a sacred duty for which
they cheerfully give their own lives.
The persecution of the Jews has at
tracted little attention; perhaps because
it is an old story, and because it has been
in less violent form than the war of ex-
termination waged against the Armen-
ians. 1t had been in the past directed
rather against property, civil rights and

Charles J. Bonaparte, former Attor-
ney General, in speech at conference
of Maryland Progressives in Baltimore,
Feb 18th, stated that Theodore Roosevelt
would be elected the next President, and
criticised the Wilson administration in a
caustic manner. Among other things,
he said: "We want a President who
means what he says. and says what he
means, and does.what he says he will do.
We do not want President who will ex-
haust the supply of note paper in the
State Department and then do nothing

A Republican survey of the United
States shows that Judge Hughes is the
favorite candidate for the presidency,
though public sentiment is not crystalliz-

in some of the big States, and New York
is divided. This is the report from
Maine: Great deal of Hughes sentl-

1t is many years since the citizens of
Belfast have had placed before them such
a full and plain statement of the finan-
cial ard other conditions of the city as
we print today over the signature OF
Mayor Coombs. Until the advent of a
one-man city government the treasurer's
report was printed in detail the week be-
fore the annual election, so that every
voter could see how the money had been
expended, and the condition of the city
treasury. Under one-man rule the treas
urer's report was not made public until
after the election-sometimes not unit
the late summer, when it was printed
with other city reports in pamphlet
which comparatively few citizens see.
The financial statement we print today
gives a full accounting of the city s
mouey-the resources, receipts and ex-
nenditures. In addition Mayor Coombs
tells of the unsatisfactory conditions IN
all the departments when he assumed
the office, and what has been done to rem
edy them. What he says of the condi-
ton of the roads will be confirmed by
every one who has ridden over them in
the past Few years. They have given
Belfast an unenviable notoriety, been
handicap on business and detrimental in
many ways.
While some may think it would have
been better had the present city govern
ment not undertaken so much, and ex-
pended less, it would have been poor
business policy to have let the Memorial
building go longer without the much
needed repairs, the culverts to remain
clogged, and the roads and bridges to
continue in the deplorable conditions in
which they were found. Much of the
work done is permanent-all was needed,
and had to be done some time, and the
longer it was deferred the greater would
be the cost. In all that was done the
best interests of Belfast were in view
and there has been no faint of graft.
