ARO0STOOk HORSE
MEN PLANNING FOR A
BIG RACING SEASON

Fort Fairfield, Me-, April IA meet
ing OF the horsemen of this part Of
Aroostook county was held in this
town Thursday. Representatives from
trotting associations in a number of
the Aroostook towns were present. The
meeting was held to arrange a race
circuit for the coming summer, in adj
dition to the big Fourth of July races
to be given in Fort Fairfield. The cir
cult will embrace Presque Isle Caribou,
Van Buren, and Fort Fairfield. The cir
cult will be opened by the races at
Pressure Isle on Orangemen's day, July
II. There will also be races there .on
the 18th. The date for the race at Car

(Boothbay Register April ~

(Boothbay Register April ~
A few weeks ago one Of our Boston
Sunday papers purported to give an in
terview with Luther Maddocks Of this
town on the dog matter and this
story went out under Boothbay Har-
Dor headline, although It was probably
never sent out from this town. Its
main feature was that dog-fish attack
humans and it went even further and
said bathers in our harbor were attack
ed by dog fish. This story, condensed,
was republished in other papers as
gospel or newspaper" truth. How
little foundation the story had it will
be tried TO show later, but just now see
something Of the consequences.
A letter was recently received by the
management of a local summer hotel
from a lady who had reserved rooms
there for the season for her family.
CThe letter was published on April
Is, in the State House column of the
Journal.)
Practically everybody knows that the
dog are injurious to the fishing in
terests, that they go in schools and
drive away or catch and destroy the
food fish. Fishermen also know that
they steal the bait or are hooked on
these fishermen's lines or get into their
nets and destroy them, and for these
reasons they should be destroyed, II
possible, although it is almost unbe-
lievable that they can ever be render
ed extinct.
That dog-fish are a menace to bath
ers is quite another thing and the peo-
ple who live on this coast know we'll
enough that this is not true. Yet there
are many not familiar with such things
who would believe a story that q drove
Of hungry bears had come from hiber-
mating in the Maine woods and were
menacing the people living along the
outskirts Of the village. Many already
do believe in the stories of wild dogs
in the New Jersey swamps Evidently
some have put credence in the story
from the interview Of Mr.. Maddocks
and are not coming to this section be-
cause Of It. Possibly they may not
como to Maine at all II someone will
ssnd out Q big pickerel story from the
inland lake regions. A good story we
once heard about a turtle in Sebago
lake would stop some people from
bathing in that water just as quick
a the sight of an alligator's head in a
Tlorida lake would put IN end to de-
Nehtful winter afternoons outing in
that section.

GREAT BRITAIN
ITALY'S RUIN
Italy ls at the Mercy Of England
eritain's Policy to Weaken Other
Nations-Few Rich People
In Italy.

It was at the command of Great
Britain that 1taly's declaration of war
was issued, says writer to the New
York World; again at Britain's com.
mand, Italy agreed not to conclude a
separate peace. The statesmen in
London used the authority of the Brit
ish fleet to place the British Govern
ment where it could fight the German
Government in Italy. Italy's geograph-
ical position, her long coast line de-
terminating by itself her dependence
upon the support of the greatest mari
time power, rendered her helpless,
Britain threatened the hostility of her
fleet if neutrality was not abandoned
in favor Of the allies. Italy's Mediter-
ranean coast is as much at the mercy
of the British fleet as is the coast of
Ireland.
In a book published in London in
1909 by King and Okey, entitled
Italy to Pay" one sentence reads:
For thirty years past it has been
the policy Of the English Government
to use Italy for its own purposes"
James l.. Garvin, in The Pail Mall
Gazette, wrote shortly after the begin
ming Of England's war:
For England it is important that
through European war not only Rus
STA should be weakened, so that the
Russian pressure upon India should be
relaxed for considerable time, but
that also Italy should be weakened,
so that Italy should not develop into
such a Mediterranean power as to
play, later on, role as England's
rival"
There may be proof enough up to
date that Italian participation in the
war at England's behest has brought
nothing but ruin. In March of last
year the Swiss railroads were handling
thousands of tons of coal which Ger
many was sending into Italy at a mod
crate price. The collieries in one dis
trict of East Prussia were sending daily
$4,000 tons, and other collieries were
sending even a larger quantity. Today
the only coal Italy can get must come
from Great Britain, transported at
shipping rates which have been in
creased 200 and 300 per cent. Coal is
luxury only for the rich. And there
are no longer any rich in Italy. Many
other necessities of daily life are
equally scarce and expensive.
