Exit the Cavalry.

How strange the war in Europe
would appear to J. f. b. Stuart, Joe
Wheeler, Futghugh Lee or N. b.
Forrest and other who made cavalry
count for so much in the War OF
Secession! Their scouting parties,
thanking movements. their cutting off
of supply trains-the numerous things
they did in their fight for the Con.
federacy, would tbday, and in great

of the present war. and of wars to

phrases of nature quite different
from those used in poetry of the past

ing men, riding upon widely impatient
horses into the very ranks of the
enemy there to slash and shoot a
path through the ranks.
War today is more business and
less romance; more science and less
chiyalrous dash and splurge. Generals
are men who can calculate. who
know science, who stay far in the
rear and engage in a warfare quite
different from the kind generals of
other days engaged in. The whole
thing has changed. except for few
isolated cases where the armies are
small. the country urged. In Egypt,
in Asiatic Turkey there is yet roman
tic fighting. But on the real battle
fronts. the individual soldier becomes
but tiny cog in vast machine, the
horseman is dismounted. stript of his
sabre, and given instead some hand
grenades and a machine gun. Men
no longer line up in the open, bu. dig
themselves into the ground. An
army standing in the open field, and
drawn up in military fashion would
last only few minutes before mod
ern guns.
The glory, the poetry, the individ-
ualism-all this and more in war los
ing. And the loss that the romantic.
lists will miss most, is the loss of
cavalry. Men on horseback. follow.
ing some gallant leader on horseback,
inspire even the chicken hearted. The
rush of cavalry puts courage even in
the timorous man. The horse is
noble sort of animal, and seems pc
culiarly fitted for the battlefield. But
science relegates the horse to the OBJ
solte. Now he can pull supply wag-
ons, such as are not operated by mot
or. But no longer does he stand out
such an inspiring, romantic figure as
he did in wars of years gone by.

Strikes.

Due to strikes millions upon mil
lions of dollars are lost annually in
the United States. Legislation az
fecting strikes is needed. We would
not countenance legislation which
would deprive man. labor of CAPT
talist. of certain inalienable rights.
But it is possible to have legislation
that will prevent strikes, of inter
state nature, at least, and at the same
time deal fairly with all concerned.
The time has come in the United
States for more cordially between
classes. Indeed, any time is good
time FOR such a state of affairs. But
the old order has existed just as long
as the people should stand for
Consider the matter abstractly.
What is accomplished by strikes?
Who gains because of them? Has
any one gained by them?
Strikes make the strikers suffer,
the employers suffer, and the public
also suffers, very often, because of
strikes. In the long run, even giving
to strikes the benefit of every doubt,
the end attained is no better than
could have been obtained by a pro-
cess of reason. There are conditions
conceivable which justify strikes. But
strikes are to frequently called when
such conditions do not exist Every
other possible means should be ex-
hausted before strike is resorted to.
And the laws of the land should see
to 1t that the other means are tried
first: should make provisions for a
handling of the difficulties between
employer and employee when those
difficulties will result in inconveni.
ence TO the public.
Ali of us recognize fully the right of
a man to liberty, his right to quit
work. and of many other things. The
law can scarcely handle individuals
in such instances. But the law can
prevent a combination of this or that
sort. when the said combination
would affect the public in a deleteri-
Gus manner, AS a matter of fact, inn
proved laws in regard to strikes
would mean benefit to all parties con-
cerned. The present practice of
striking is clumsy, and often 1t &C
composites no good. A strike. except
when there is absolutely nothing else
possible or compatible with principles
is foolish.

Queer History.

Uncle Sam chase after Villa Is a
rather queer freak OF history, setting
out with grim determination to. locate
the nefarious bandit, the troops of the
United States plunged into Mexico,
fought several small battles and pene-
trated far into the interior of the
strife despoiled land The chase was
] somewhat futile. as 1t did not result
in the capture or death of Villa After
time the troops were called off the
trail, and then a period Of watchful
waiting was entered into. The pur-
pose of the United States in stopping
the chase was to give Carranza and
his so-called government a chance.
That was a good purpose. But Car
rama is unable to handle the situa-
ton, or apparently So The where
abouts of villa is now known. He Is
unpublished for crimes against our
government. and against his own. He
comes forth openly and wages war on
his own government. Has not the
United States today the same accusa-
tons to make against him that were
made many months ago when the oc-
ucpation of Mexican territory was be-
gun?
Conditions have changed. and 1t is
nothing but right to give to Mexico
every chance to control her own af-
fairs. One cannot but see. however,
that the history of this punitive ex.
petition Is somewhat unique. We
started after man; failed to get him
Now we remain quiet and silent while
he comes forth into the open and
wages war Villa could now be caught,
and his army dispersed. There is
just as good reason to punish his
crimes now as there has ever been.
But the role OF big brother" which
Uncle Sam is playing calls for much
IL lu'gence. AMI certainly much III
diligence is granted
Secretary Lane. member of the
INSTRUMENTATION commission says
that Mexico will be controlled with
our help or without 1t. Presumably he
speaks for the government and means
that Mexico will be given every OPP
portunity. and if failure is met with,
then will the United States step in
and set her house to rights. Our en-
tire dealings with Mexico have been
marked by new spirit, and It Is a
good spirit, because unselfish. But |
judged by overt facts. new kind of !
history is being written.
Why not get villa now? And why |
does not Carranza, seeing the weak.

Girl Sheriff May Lose

Will Miss Constance Kopp. one Of

that the county has voted in favor Of

Kopp regarding a siege of terror at her

Later. with the aid Of Sheriff Heath,

claims by making other clever captures

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Due
to Inability of Rubber Facto-

do you know" said one Of Augusta
shoe dealers Thursday, that 1t would be
for the interest Of every man or woman
in the city to secure at once two or three
pairs Of rubbers, or enough to carry them
to whom he spoke could not guess why
one should purchase rubbers until they
were needed to wear, and then the shoe
man went on to say that rubbers were
scarce and that the local supply was
liable to give out in two weeks: that no
was in Portland a few days ago and that
while there he ascertained what condi-
lions regarding rubbers were.
He went to Portland for the purpose Of
buying so cases Of rubbers. but the
wholesalers would allow him but three
that the supply was short and that they
expected within few days to see the
price of rubbers advance from Is to 80
per cent. The reason given was that
while there Is plenty Of crude rubber to
be had the big rubber factories cannot
get the help, the reason being that the
ammunition factories hire the rubber fac
tory help away.
The shoe man was also told that the
management of the ammunition factories
have agents In the towns where the rub
Der factories are located who are on hand
when the employees leave the factories
and after finding out what their wages
are per week offer them more to 60 to the
ammunition factories, the offer sometimes
being twice the amount they are getting
at the rubber factories and this usually
gets them.

of the Day, Together with
Festivities Which Follow, Are
Enjoyed in Many Homes -
Menues of Dinners Served in
City's Institutions

Thanksgiving day, while SO far as
weather conditions were concerned
was somewhat cherries and disagree
able because Of pouring rain storm
atmosphere that found its way into
Augusta homes and brought with it
that feeling of good cheer that makes
the day what it is. The boys and girls
were home from school and college,
and other members of the families
who had left the home fireside were
back again SO that many family cir
Gle was complete for the first time in
a year and in many instances a long
er time. The dinner was of course the
leading feature of the day but there
were also the festivities that follow on
Thanksgiving day and add their quota
to the days enjoyment.
The day also brought with it the
Thanksgiving spirit into the public in
situations of the city, in each of which
special dinner was prepared for the
occasion, and which was thoroughly
enjoyed by those who partook of it.
Especially SO was the dinner served
at Kennebec Jail, where covers were
laid for 10. The menu included roast
pork with mashed potato and gravy,
mashed turnip, onions, cranberry
apple pie, tea, coffee and apples. The
number of prisoners confined in the in
stitution is but 10, four of whom are
from Sagadahoc county, one a United
States prisoner and the rest from
kennebec county. ..
At the Augusta State hospital the
usual Thanksgiving observance was
carried out. In the wards the menu
consisted of roast chicken with cram
berry sauce and all the fixings, the
chickens for which were raised on the
hospital farm, and then for dessert
there were mince pies, tea and coffee
plum pudding, nuts and fruit. During
