Bucksport, Aug 23.-(SpeciaD.-
Does the country think that it's presi-
dent should rattle the sabre but never
draw, should always bark and never
bite, should follow his awful thunder
with not one single flash Of lightning?"
These remarks We're delivered by
Hon. Augustus p. Gardner, Congress-
man from Massachusetts, at big rally
held here tonight when he discussed
the attitude Of the present administra-
ton in international affairs. Leroy L.
Hight of Augusta was the other speak
er Of the meeting. Taking up his sub
iect Congressman Gardner said in part:
So President Wilson has kept the
country out of war has he? In sense
that is true. At any rate it is certain
that the mighty shout with which he
demanded that Germany should dis
avow the destruction of the Lusitania
has now sunk to a voice SO still and SO
small that even the ghosts OF the III
American victims no longer hear IT.
Yes, Wilson has kept the country out
of war and if Wilson had been King OF
Belgium he would have kept Belgium
out Of war. There would have been no
crepe on Belgium door no heart broken
Belgian mothers and no Belgian homes
in ashes. Instead there would be plenty
of Belgian ball rooms and dance halls,
plenty of fat on Belgian paunches,
plenty of powder and paint on Belgian
beauties; but where, oh where would
be Belgium's manhood? Dead, dead as
completely as American history would
be dead If the thought Of Union crepe
and heart broken Union mothers had
deferred Abraham Lincoln from &C.
cepting the challenge flung US when the
Southern Confederacy fired on our flag
at Fort Sumter-withered, as COM
pletely as Americas Soul would be
withered had Abraham Lincoln kept
our peace with the South at the cost
of few polite words and the price Of
a new flag.
And yet the Country believes that the
destruction of the Lusitania was an in
sufficient cause for war. Perhaps the
country is right; but does the country
think that its President should rattle
the sabre but never draw, should al
ways bark and never bite. should fol-
low his awful Gaunder with not one
single fash Of :--htning? Think Of It,
when war clouds darken the heavens

brief hearing was held Wednesday
Afternoon at o'clock at the municipal

Industrial Accident Commission. Hen

testimony was offered as to the condi-
ton of the arm during the month Of
May and also testimony from the same
source that the condition was the re-
suit of bruise. No decision was rem
dered, simply testimony taken.

OF course YOU are planning to attend
the Republican rally which is scheduled
for Friday evening at the Coliseum. Con
gresham Augustus P, Gardiner, one OF
the staunchest adherents of military pre-
paredness, is to be the speaker of the
evening. He is no stranger to Gardiner
and a Gardiner audience, and will be
warmly welcomed. His close touch with
the situation at Washington and his well
known ability as an orator will doubt
less ensure him a large audience. Hon.
Frank f. Southland of Augusta will speak
on State issues.

Speaks Of
Wilson's Bark But
Never Bite Policy
mighty Shout at Time of Lusitania Disaster
and the Present 'Voice So ShlP'

between the United States and Ger
many, President Wilson tells us that a
nation may be too proud to fight.
When war clouds darken the heavens
between the United States and Mexico
he tells us that he is lin a fighting
mood"
A nation which is too proud to
fight" becomes the laughing stock IF
the world when it pirates about strict
accountability"
"Oh!" say our Democratic friends,
"the President must not go too far.
Think of the proud privilege for the
United States if he were to be invited
in as mediator at the end of the war.
Think how the Nation would rejoice
to see him act as Middleman sand
WICKED in with Henry Ford on one side
and King Alfonso of Spain on the
other"
Perhaps you agree with President
Wilson that Europe's war is no con-
Germ of yours, that the awful struggle
ough. to be disregarded by those who
live under the Star Spangled Banner
whose blossoms Of light are the hope
of the world Perhaps like Pontius
Plate, you wash your hands Of the
whole matter. So be It, do not agree
with you but shall not argue the mat
ter tonight. Tell me, do you care moth

Wharf.-The Germans were CON-
PEELED to fall back slightly on the
west bank of the Mouse late this
week before the attacks OF the
French, but they made progress on
the east bank in the direction OF
Verdun. King Victor Emmanuel
who has been making his headquar-
tiers at Udine on the Italian front,
has removed his headquarters to
Venice. The Austrians are cont1n-
uing their attacks in the new often
sive which they developed several
weeks ago. Very little activity was
reported from the Caucasus front.
POLITICS. Interest In the Re-
publican national convention at
Chicago next week still centers in
the action of Justice Hughes, who
is remaining silent regarding his
decision to accept or reject the
nomination for the presidency II 1t
is offered him. Col. Roosevelt for
president and Charles Warren Fair
banks for vice president were ex-
pected to be leaders of the ticket
by some politicians, but this was all
guess work.

railroad builder, and one of the
great men of the Northwest dies
this week. He started in very
humble way and built his fortune
upon thrift and economy. Col. Mos J
