Have HallOwell Fans Been
Accorded a Square Deal?

There is considerable comment
among baseball enthusiasts concern
ing the dropping Of Hallowell from
the Trolley League. If the statement
is correct that they are able and will
ing to put team in the field this
season, there would seem to be no
good reason why they should be drop
ped and Lewiston retained. Hallowell
has been in past dead game sport"
giving enthusiastic support to their
team throughout the entire season,
whether winning or losing. 1t would
certainly seem that all things being
equal Hal1owell should certainly have
the preference over Lewiston.
Gardiner, at the recent baseball
meeting was the orly city to vote
against Lewiston and Waterville's
coming into the league and were de-
cidedly in favor of having the repre-
sentation exactly as it was last year,
Augusta, Hallowell, Winthrop and
Gardiner Sympathy in Gardiner is
strongly with Hallowell.

THE DOOR OF
THE CAPES

Let the 60. eminent spend its mil
lions in formidable Notifications at
the mouth of the Chesapeake; let the
door of the Capes be guarded by guns
that can send hurting shells through
space myriad f miles; let it be
ready to run a Gordon of warshins
across the neck of entrance to the
Chesapeake; what would all this avail
against such ships as the one that is
now enjoying the hospitality of city
cnthused over its coming?
This pertinent query is propounded
by Baltimore paper in which calls
attention to The fact that last sum-
mer the American fleet Unanswered
along the coast and the upshot Of
the manuevers of the squadron for
defense and that for attack was that
the enemy fleet found the first point
of vulnerability of the coast be-
tween Maine and the Capes to, be at
the Chesapeake. 1t was ascertained
that an enemy fleet might readily
gain entrance here, set up its shore
batteries and command the situation
for Baltimore and Washington, the
strategic key of which is possession
of the Chesapeake. And it was as
serted that this would be the first
point of attack of the Germans in
case of the threatened war coming
to pass, provided the Tcutons should
gain mastery Of the sea. From Bal
timore to Erie would run the line of
the invading hosts and the rich East.
ern centers and ammunition manu-
featuring centers would be cut off
and conquered.
Those who thought this apprehcn-
sion was in the nature of night
mare are respectfully referred to the
fact of the great submarine that is
a commercial craft only through alb
sence of torpedo tubes and torpedocs
and few guns. Even without COM
mand of the seas, what would have
served to prevent the Germans send
ing over a flotilla of it's great sub
marines and attacking the American
port cities, with Baltimore featuring
as the center of the raid?
Therefore, the cup Of kindness is
drunk with especial zest by Baltimore
! and to the health of the valiant cap.
! tain of the Deutschland, who come;
rot to be conqueror, but to be con.
quercd by the kindness of an admir-
ing people.

is THE KAISER
AN AUTOMATON?

A dispatch from Amsterdam, dated
June 25, says:
"Get Tirpitz on the telephone at
once.
1t was Emperor William who gave
this curt command to his personal adj
iutant a few minutes after he had
been Informed of the sinking OF the
Lusitania on May z, 1915. Then, a
moment later:
"My God, what have you done? Is
it true.?"
AFTER listening only few seconds
to the voice at the other end the
Kaiser abruptly hung up the receiver
sank back in his chair as if stricken
by thunderbolt and exclaimed sew
eral times in succession:
"My God, my God, that l did not
intend"
The above will bring forth the fol-
lowing query: Is the Kaiser puppet
in the hands of master wire pullers !?
We have always preferred to believe
that the German monarch was not a
fiend incarnate, as some would have
lis suppose, and, if the above is au-
thentic, it shows that the slaughter
of human beings is no more agree
able to him than to others. While
such specimens of the human race
as Antiochus Epiphanes, Herod the
Great and Nero have disgraced his
tory, the conservative people of the
present day have no desire to place
the grandson of the illustrious Queen
Victoria in the list of those whose
feet have ever been ready to shed
blood.
The war lords of Germany may
alone be responsible for the fearful
slaughter now in progress in Europe.
One of Shakespcare's characters is
made to utter great anguish at the
thought Of thousands of shades of
men whose deaths he has caused
gliding around his tent at night. Such
may not cluster exclusively around
the Kaiser's abode.
