Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
G a 8 TO RIA
ALL SORTS
Why?

That six hundred fresh conscripts are
fit to be sent soon to France makes one
wonder why it should be necessary to
take them and leave more than half a
million of men trained long ago in regular
Army and National Guard.
WHY this silly secrecy? Why not let
US know enough about military plans and
conditions?
The Government would get more of
public confidence by putting more conf
dence in the public, It's our country
It's our war. It's our money that pays
for the war Then tell us about it. Tell
US how many men are in France, how
many more are going, how the transpor-
tation problem was solved. Tell US about
it-Lewiston Sun

VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS.

Sometime ago Congress voted federal
aid to such States as would cooperate
with the national government in estab-
fishing a system of vocational training
in the schools. Last winter our legisla-
ture passed an enabling act and the fol-
lowing plan has been presented by Supt.
Thomas, our State superintendent
First-The State normal school at Cor
ham will train teachers for the trades
and industries.
Pennington will train teachers for house
hold economies and some special trades
for women.
Third-The State college of agricul-
ture, connected with the University of
Maine, will prepare teachers of agricul-
ture subjects and rural vocations
Fourth-Teachers of the trades and
industries may also be developed through
part time and night schools, especially
in the case of apt students who are skill
full in the trade or industry and who
show ability to teach.
Fifth-All day vocational high schools
will be established to fit young people for
useful employment.
Sixth-Part time schools in connection
with high schools in Industrial centers
for those who find it necessary to pursue
their occupa tions, but who can give por-
ton of their time to classes and subjects
which function in their occupations and
which are calculated to improve the
quality of citizenship.
Seventh-Night schools for industrial
workers covering the subjects which
function in their industries

Important if True.

Zurich, Swift, Sept 20-General Baron
won Freytag-L oringhoven, chief of the
supplementary general staff of the Ger
man Army, has published pamphlet en-
titled "The Results of the World War, ="
in which he says:
''The general political and economical
situation of the world works only IN Ia
vor of our enemies, and the German SOL
diers will be defrauded of the fruits OF
their victories"
The general thinks that trench warfare
was great mistake, and says that only
an aggressive attack could have brought
Successes. He adds, however, that the
German offensive was not strong enough
to overthrow the Allies.

Caesars Words to the Huns.

1T is now 1900 years since Caesar de-
feated the Germans in France. When
they came asking terms he said to them;
Go back whence you came, repair the
damage you have done, and give hostages
to keep peace for the future 1t was the
ancient and barbaric custom to take
princes and high men as hostages, and
this custom Germany followed when she
entered Belgium. But the world does
not ask such hostages today. 1t is the
problem of world craftsmanship to dis
cover what kind of hostage Germany can
give when she has been convinced that
her dream of world overmastery cannot
come true

very doubtful, there may be no use in

A Great Record.

Some idea of what the Red Cross
workers are doing is Indicated by the
official announcement that up to last
Saturday the Red Cross supply service
for the New England division had ship
ped abroad l,038 standard cases of gar
ments Each case is worth $3.50, the
total shipment thus representing goods
worth $3.50, $40 provided during the year.
The average sales of raw material OF the
supply service now amounts to about
s., 900 a day or over l,500, 900 for the
year That the New England women
are attending strictly to their knitting is
indicated by the fact that during the
first five days of September the quantity
Of standard yarn sold by this division
amounted to over 1000 pounds-Bidde

HOSPITALS FOR WOUNDED.

F. WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. Sites have
been chosen tentatively in 10 cities for
the great Reconstruction" hospitals in
which the United States will begin the
work for rehabilitating for private life its
soldiers who return wounded from the
front in Europe They will each have
500 beds, with provision for doubling their
capacity if necessary. Instead of the old
idea that responsibility ended with the
return of the soldier to private life with
his wounds healed and such pension as
he might be given, it is now considered
that it is the duty of the government to
equip and re-educate the wounded man,
after healing his wounds, and to return
him to civil life ready to be a success to
himself and his country
Further Provisions Later.
"These hospitals will not be the last
step in the return of the wounded SOL
diers to civil life. When the soldiers are
able to take up industrial training, further
provision will be ready. The injured man
may be restrained to his previous occu-
patton to conform with his handicapped
condition, or re-trained for a new indus
try comparable with that condition. Ad-
ditional education will be given to those
fltted for it and men may in some cases
return to more valuable work than that
from which they were called to war.
Workshops will be provided at the hospi-
tails, but arrangements will also be made
with outside industries whereby more
elaborate methods of training may be
carried on An employment bureau will
be established to place men so trained in
different parts of the United States.
'1t is not the intention that men able
to 60 back to the firing line shall be re-
turned to this country unless their con-
valescence will extend over period of
considerable number of months. Sol
diers unable to return to duty will be sent
to the reconstruction hospitals in the
United States"

Political Clippings
tl,,ino second Fiddle

The commander in chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic at the recent en-
campment at Boston declared that the
North and South are united in defence of
the country against the common foe.
True. By means of manipulated census
figures the North furnishes more than its
= ota of drafted soldlery; through its SUI
peIior influence at Washington the South
VIII have these men sent to Southern
Camps Tor training; by means of its con-
troll of Congress the South will load the
bulk of taxes upon the North. The two
sections are united all right. In fact the
South has managed to tie the North up
good and tight.

Critical Operation Ended,

Today's work brought to an end the
critical part of the operation, virtually
completing the structural portion of the
bridge. An effort last year to raise a
similar span in place resulted in disaster
when the link slipped from it's supports
causing IA deaths, and in 1918 bridge in
the same place collapsed when it was
virtually complete, killing 70.
The successful completion of the bridge
Will mean the fulfilment of a 5O-years
engineering dream. 1t will be some
months yet before trains can be run over
the structure, as there is much detail
to be carried out. The running time be-
tween Halifax and Winnipeg will then
be reduced half day.

SAFETY FIRST.

A word to the people who travel for veal
Across our broad country by automobile,
Be it master matron girls Katy Mag,
Never go with chauffer who takes on jag.
You start out for pleasure your feelings elate,
And for your comfort you govern the rate,
And atho' in the you willing to lag
Beware of the fellow who comes up behind
With recklessness born of sprituous kind
He may dash up beside you asplashng the wet
He has on Jag you with safety bet.
He passes you quickly and is off with whiz
Without any regard to your safety or his,
His course is zig-zag he swift rushes on
And woe to the fellow who meets him head on.
Just watch the gay boozer coming into the place
Taking both sides of the street in the race,
He is coming zg-zag, his machine takes skid,
And the chances are even he down kid.
If So he is taken to court without fail
To pay heavy fine and perhaps sent to jail,
And is told by his friends when relating his trouble
That man with Jag on is see double
So take MY advice all you who would run
Around through the city for business or fun,
Take warning pray you e'er you meet with snag,
Never 60 with chauffer who takes on jag.
