A Four-Years' War.

We have seen the end of the summer
campaign. 1t was on June that Rus
sia struck her first blow in Volhynia.
Since that time there has been a steady
rise in Allied prospects,; there have
been great victories in Galicia; ma
terial advantages scored in Picardy
and north of Trieste there has been a.
decline in German stock which cannot
he mistaken. and an ever widening
conviction that the end of the war WAL
be reached on German soil. But l de-
sire to say here, as / have said else
where, that l do not believe that such
a victory can he won before the sum-
mer of 1915: and think the degree to
which Germany is exhausted has been
grossly exaggerated in recent weeks.

Editorial Comment
Where New Hampshire Leads
(Bangor CommorciaN

(Bdngof commercially
New Hampshire has concluded its
Old Home Week celebrations and as
usual they have been carried out in a
noteworthy and highly satisfactory
manner There was a state celebration
and in addition observance OF the
week in more than quarter of the
towns Of the state, in many instances
in an elaborate manner. New Hamp-
shire originated Old Home Week and
has kept up its recognition for quar-
ter Of a century with much gratifca-
ton to it's people and to its sons ana
daughters who have taken their resi-
dence outside its borders. but who do
not fail to return for Old Home Week.
Some Is or 20 years ago Maine FOL
lowed New Hampshire's example In
the recognition of Old Home Week
and with very successful results IN
some sections. but for some reason. or
perhaps more correctly for no reason
except apathy. and that is no reason
the custom languished. In some Sec
lions of Maine, we have in mind es-
ecially Knox county. the family re-
unions held in the summer months are
a good deal Of an institution and
serve to bring the scattered clans
home at the same time but Maine must
yield to New Hamshire in the sue
cessful establishment and continuance
of Old Home Week.

The Democratic Scandal.

Although somewhat obscured tenn
porar1ly by the U-boat attack on liners
of the Atlantic coast, the Democratic
scandel involving an attempt by a
member Of the Democratic National
Finance Committee. to hold up the
postuasters Of the country. to sand
bag them out Of 10 per cent Of their an
nual salaries In order to create a CAM
paign fund to re-elect President Will
son, will not down. 1t will be remem-
bered that there has been considerable
scandal about the abuse Of the civil
service regarding postmasters and that
the Civil Service Reform League has
never been able to procure the facts,
because Mr.. Wilson would not permit
the Civil Service Commission to make
them public The President Of the
Commission, Mr.. McIlhenny. Of Louis
lana, finally admitted that were the
facts made public they might lead 70
such criticism Of the administration as
"seriously to embarass It," But Pres
ident Wilson'S power over the Com
mission has proved potent to suppress
the facts.

The respect and friendship which
President Wilson's Mexican policy has
won for him from Carranza and his
representatives Is strikingly illustrated
once more, this time by the expressions
of Carranza's delegates to the Atlantic

entertained by the United States and
who are shamefully abusing the hos
pitality extended to them. Regarding
receipt of the news of the U-53's raid,

The strenuous effort of the Demo-
cratic textbook to defend President
Wilson's Mexican course carries with
II abundant evidence of Democratic
conviction that the Wilson Mexican
policy lack of policy-constitutes
the greatest weakness of their candi-
date. Every ingenuity of fact and fancy
is employed in an effort to relieve the
sinister aspect of Mr.. Wilson's cham
pionship Of Mexican rights as opposed
to those of Americans
