to the protests OF this administration
is the epigrammatic explanation o.
Senator Lodge
THE NATION IS SHOCKING.
LY UNPREPARED.

1t is apparent that we are
shocklngIy uuprepared. There is
no room for controversy on this
point since the object lesson on
the Mexican border. All our
available regular troops Cess, l
believe. than 10000 aEe there
or IN Mexico, and as theseN have
been deemed insufficient the en'
tire national guard has been orr
dercd out. That Is, we are sum.
monlng practically all our NOV.
able military forces in order to
prevent bandit !ncursions. In
view Of the warnings Of the past
three years, 1t Is hexcusablR
that we should find ourselves in
this plight. For our faithful
guardsmen. who with a fine pa
trIousm responded to this call
and are bearing this burden, l
have nothing but praise. But
think 1t little short Of absurd
that we should he compelled to
call men from their shops. their
factories. their Offices and their
professions for such a purpose
This however. is not all. The
units of the national guard were
at peace strength, which was
only about one.half the required
strength. 1t was necessary to
bring in recruits, for the most
mart raw and unframed, Only
small percentage Of the regiments
recruited up to war strength will
have had even years training
in the national guard. which at
the maximum means a hun.
dred hours of military drill, and,
on the average, means much less.
Men fresh from their peaceful
employments and physically I'M
prepared have been hurried to
the border for actual service
They were without proper equip
mcnt, without necessary sup.
plies; suitable conditions Of trans.
portation were not provided. Men
with dependent families were
sent, and conditions which should
have been well known were dis.
covered after the event. And
yet the exlgency, comparatively
speaking, was not a very grave
one. 1t involved nothing that
could not readily have been fore.
seen during the paSt three years
Of disturbance and required only
a modest talent for organization.
That this administration while
pursuing its course in Mexico
should have permitted such con.
dltIons to exist is almost in.
crcdlble.-From Mr.. Hughes
Speech Of Acceptance.

The debate on the revenue bill
which is now going on in the Senate
is worth following. The critics Of
the wilson administration are max
Ing strong case against 1t, and the
administration harples are doing the
very best they can With record be
fore them OF having bawled up the
fiscal management Of the government
in such way that stamp taxes are
made necessary. and $l30,OOO,OOO
of Panama canal bonds, authorized
and never sold, for the canal was
built and paid for out of the ordinary
receipts of the government under Re
publican management, are now to
be disposed OF. None of the proceeds
will 20 to the canal, however. That
will leave lO,O0O,O0O worth OF
these authorized Panama bonds still
in hand ready to be sold when an
other financial emergency arises

be long if the present crowd that IS

Senate are declaring that protective

nues needed, the cost of prepared

TO prove it to the country after March

stamp taxes. the sO-called war taxes

duties will be levied on imports and
the bars to our markets raised

lively one, and decidedly instruc-

VS.. the administration which is on
trial, that much of the case at any
rate, which relates to handling the
fiscal affairs of national government.

1t is one Of the arguments of the
railroads that the brotherhoods are
responsible for this condition, be-
cause they have forced the wages
OF their members up to a high maxi
mum, and there is nothing to 1t but
keep the clerks and the un-unionl2ed
employees down to hard pan. 1t is
admitted that this class OF employees
do not receive living wages, and
haven't known an Increase in wages
in thIrty-five years that would equal
one pCr cent.

The Strike Situation.-Ncw York
continues to be confident that the
threatened railway strike will be
averted. although washington reports
a deadlock between employers and
employees. President Wilson has de-
manded that the railroads adopt the
S-hour day in principle and leave the
question of any increase in wages to
arbitration. 1t is evident that Presi-
dent Wilson's influence is diminished
by the conviction by both SIDES that
he is trying to play politics with this
issue. conviction that detracts from
respect for his advice, The contro-
yersv is in many respects so techni-
cal that it is difficult to outline it in
few words. but it is encouraging that
Ian the big financial experts expect a
peaceful solution.

OPENING CAME
TROLLEY LEAGUE
FOR WEDNESDAY

Allroads lead to the Muster field to-
day to witness the opening game on the
home grounds in the Trolley League
series when the Augusta Senators will
play the Granite City aggregation and
the baseball enthusiasts Of Augusta
and Halowell will turn out strong to
root for their respective teams. The
ball grounds have been put into the
best of shape, the grandstand thor
oughly overhauled and repaired and
wire netting to protect the spectators
in the stand has been put on: the field
on either side of the diamond is now
fenced off to keep the crowd OFF the
base line and the fans are ready to
help the game along by being present
in a goodly number to royalty support
the Hallowell team. Although Halo
we'll was defeated in Tuesdays game
at Winthrop it is not surprising con-
sidering the lack of practice and the
inability to secure the necessary play
ers. The local team was handicapped
in the first game because Of having to
play men in positions entirely strange
to them as several expected players
failed to put in appearance Tuesday.
Aube, Dickinson, Boardman and Ma
honey did good stick work in the Win
throp- Hallowell game, securing two
hits each, and but three errors were
made by the local team. A. o. Lind
strom of Manchester, n. H., a New
England League pitcher will be in the
box for Hallowell today with Knox Of
Colby behind the bat and make bat
terry hard to beat. The probably lineup
for Hallowell in todays game is as fol-
lows: Aube Oh; Pendleton IS, Dickin-
son If, Boardman 3b, Duncan IF, Con-
