GO TO THE BORDER

Portland, Me-, Sept. 1.-THE first
step toward the Mexican border is
this encampment Of the Coast Artil-
lery Corps Of the National Guard of
the State Of Maine at the forts in the
harbor is held by many who watch
the doings of this branch Of the mil
itia, with no little interest.
National Guard infantry and coast
artillery is already being utilized to
cope with the border situation, and
since some of these are being sent
home, 1t is not unreasonable to argue
that more will be sent to take their
places. It is pointed out that when
the first call came for troops to go to
the Mexican border. our argument
with Germany had not been entirely
settled. and the holding back Of the
coast artillery reserve was a precau-
tionary measure that this country
might not be unprepared along its
eastern line.
For the first time since its organ

tember. a month Of cold nights and
heavy fogs and since it has never been
made clear why the encampment did
not take place in July. as heretofore,

unfavorable month was picked for the

DRILLED TO PERFECTION.
Secret Of the Military Success of "the
Madman Of the North"

Secret Of the Military Success of "the
Madman of the North"
From drill man gets accustomed to
doing under any circumstances what
has been hammered into his brain time
after time till it becomes second nature
to him.
Charles XII. Of Sweden, 'the mad
man of the north," ripped most Of
Europe up the back again and again
because his soldiers were drilled to
perfection before he let them take the
field at time when there was great
neglect of drill in other armies. He
valued 1000 well drilled fighters above
10000 not so we'll drilled, and, madman
or genius, his judgment was vindicated
repeatedly In terrible battles.
One night Charles XII. was surprised
in Poland by an attacking army of
5000 when his scant force Of 600 was
sleeping like the dead from the ex-
haustion Of hard march. Before his
outposts and sentinels could be driven
IN his small band was aroused, mount

blackness-and swung into a fierce

The Problem Of Finding Work for
Discharged Prisoners.

Over 80 000. 900 males ten years or over
were employed in this country in 1910
Only 25, 900 male prisoners came out Of
the State prisons and reformatories in
that year. In 1910 there were 26s.491
manufacturing establishments in our
country. If one such establishment In
every ten had assimilated one State
prisoner in that year, the total task
of assimilation would have been ac-
complished, providing the prisoner
made good.
In those 26s.491 establishments there
were 5,163, ,164 male wage-earners Of six
teen years OF age or over. What are
250 900 men among five and a half mil
lion: Less than one-haH Of one per
cent. Furthermore, there were en-
ployed in agriculture, forestry, and ami
NAL husbandry in 1910 nearly eleven
million other males. The number Of
prisoners above mentioned would have
been but one-fourth Of one per cent. of
this number Of workers. Transports
ton claimed two and a half million
moro workers. Trade employed three
million others. Clerical occupations re-
quired million more. And only 25, 1000
men from prison to be assimilated.
This huge country can perfectly we'll,
therefore, digest its own army Of re-
formed major" criminals. whenever
that reform occurs on an economic
basis. This would require organiza-
ton. The start must come either
through the powerful stimulus Of some
great corporation. or through the en-
thusiastic but sane agitation of some
philanthropist, who has caught the
| vision, that all over the country q re-
markable reduction In crime can be
secured. ana an appalling amount Of
misery alleviated or eliminated. by or

Duels In Greenland,

In Greenland when one man has
been insulted by another the adversa-
ries each compose a satire IN verse.
This each man recites to his household
until the servants and the women
know it by heart. Then a place of
meeting Is appointed. The two men,
the insulter and insulted, the offender
and the offended, stand face to face.
and each recites his poem. His friends
and servants form a chorus. Each man
tries hard to raise the laugh against
his adversary. Each man speaks in
turn, whipping the enemy with epi-
gram and quip, and after two hours Of
this wordy battle the meeting gives
the victory to him Of the two adversa-
ries who has amused the whole as
sembly most.

ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE.
The Bible Mentions Il, ~ % Homsr
and Other Early Writers.

and Other Early Writers.
Cheese and curdling Of the milk are
mentioned in the book Of Job. David
was sent by his father, Jesse, to carry
ten cheeses to the camp and to look
how his brother Jared. Cheese Of
kline" formed part of the supplies Of
David's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion Of Absalom.
Homer says that cheese formed part
Of the ample stores found by Ulysses
In the cave Of the Cyclop PolyphemuA
Euripides, Theocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. LudolphuD sayB
that excellent cheese and butter were
made by the ancient Ethiopians, and
Strabo states that some of the ancient
Britons were so ignorant that, though
they had abundance of milk, they did
not understand the art Of making
cheese.
There is no evidence that any Of
these ancient nations had discovered
the use of rennet in making cheese.
They appear to have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently to
have formed the cheese from the case
Gus part Of the milk after expelling the
serum or whey.
As David when too young TO carry
arms was able to run to the camp
with ten cheeses, ten loaves and an
ephah Of parched corn. the cheeses
must have been very small.

FEEDING OF GERMAN
CHILDREN IN HOLLAND
PROVOKES DISCUSSION

(ASSoclated PreSS COrreSponuence)
The Hague, Netherlands. Sept. -
The question whether German chill
dren should be entertained In Holland
and fattened there on Dutch milk and
butter has led to a storm in tea-oup
here. Columns Of the newspapers
have been devoted to articles on the
subject by learned professors and edi-
torial writer's.
Germany is beseiged fortress" 1t
Is declared on the one hand, land It IL
unneutral and, what is more, opposed
to all Hollands interests to help de-
feat the object Of the bes!egers by re-
lieving distress there" How can
that be-" is the question posed in re-
ply. when Germany has free access to
Holland Scandinavia and Switzer-
land. Holland is sovereign of her
own frontier. and the feeding of hun
cry German children is our good right,
and not the faintest violation OF neU-
trality." IF you have money to
spare for poor children" Is the retort.
give the benefit of it to many thou
sands of half-starved children in your
own cities, who are suffering from too
large exports to Germany: or lavish
your pity upon the millions Of suffer-
ing children in Poland, Serbia, Bel
GUM and northern France, the coun-
tries ruthlessly desolated by Germany.
Moreover, you are endangering our
own food supplies by giving the Allies
ground for thinking that the goods
imported here will indirectly help
their enemy to hold out"
Even assuming that Germany is a
besieged fortress" runs another argu-
ment, docs not a belligerent some
times allow the siege Of city to be
prolonged by sparing the women and
children as much as possible. And If
you say we are helping Germany to
hold out, so does such noble work as
that of the Red Cross. which is uni
versally recognized to-. be within the
province of neutrals, strengthen the
forces ,of the belligerents?"
ut is but an act of chivalry and
compassion: it would be a shame to
exclude it by carrying logical strict
ness to extremes" says another.
That's all very WELL" is the answer,
but to nourish German subjects is to
prolong the war and SO sacrifice more
of the Allies" men; and if the Dutch
government is to permit Germans to
have recourse to public charity here,
at least let 1t point out to Germany its
obligations towards this county and to
the civil population of the regions oc-
cupied by German armies"
So runs the strange controversy. and
meanwhile all unconscious of the mild
storm they have raised, little parties
of German children, many of them
pale faced but some looking in fairly
good condition, are daily crossing the
Dutch border. They come In parties
varying from a dozen to several hun
dreds, and are being accommodated
about the country, mostly in children's
holiday camps and such institutions,
but also by twos and threes in private
families.
A movement is also now on foot to
bring children from the occupied dis
trict Of France. SO that Holland prom
ises to develop into quite children's
refuge, following the claims upon its
hospitality made by the fiocks OF Bel
gian fugitives, part of Antwerp's es-
Gaping garrison and many hundreds Of
fleeing prisoners Of war.
