The Nations Solemn Hour

War is He'll. The nations of Eu-
rope are engaged in creating that con-
dition for themselves and for others.
In the strife they have largely de-
stroyed our overseas commerce. This
is doubtless wrong. 1t probably for
the time at least, inflicts hardship and
loss on the American people. 1t is
proposed to re-establish this COM
merce by force. The attempt would
certainly lead to war. Weighing
commercial loss. injured pride, out
ragged dignity and every other con-
sideration, against the sacrifices of
war, ought we to pay the price. These
things are of no mean Importance and
yet are they worth the sacrifice of
hundred thousand of the youth of
America, the breaking in health and
manning of thousands more. Would
they be worth the life OF even one
American boy.
To make the matter personal, would
you not prefer to ask the munition
maker, the ship owner, and the eX-
porter to forego their profits, rather

Venerable Canaan Citizen Dies

Charles Buzzell, whose death oc-
CURED Tuesday, had he lived one day
longer, would have reached his nine
ty-f1fth birthday. He was born in
Canaan and spent practically his en-
tire life in that town. Forty years
ago he lived on the Hiram Burrill
place in the village, which has since
been burned. For many years he and

have made their home with their only
son, Leslie in the southern part of
the town.
The deceased had been farmer all
his life and had worked out a great
deal. He was remarkably fortunate
as to his health and it is said by those
who have known him for the past
forty years. that he has seemed as
vigorous of late as he was at the be-
ginning of that period.
Funeral services, with Scott Lord
as director. were held at the late res
idence this morning. Burial will be

Town Meeting Day, Next
Monday

Skow heEans annual town meeting
will be called to order, in the Opera
House. next Monday morning, at nine
O'Clock. No contests are looked for
for town officials 1t is possible, OF
course that some little time may be
taken up with Article ), as to cleo
ton of a special board of tax assess
ors, but it is expected that the town
meeting will proceed pretty rapidly
TO Article I which has TO do with es-
tablishing a Municipal Fuel Yard.
There is bound to be sharp debate
on this article and vote may not be
reached thereon before ten o'clock
However, those that are interested in
the matter cannot safely delay their
attendance beyond 9.45 if they wish
to participate in the decision.
The articles on the proposed Ken
nebec street bridge come next after
the fuel yard. There are two that
have a direct bearing on the matter.
One Of these. and the first as they
will appear in the warrant is to see
If the town will accept street to
connect Mt. Pleasant avenue with the
proposed bridge location. The next
article is to see il the town will vote
to build the bridge. The street and
bridge are so related that no one
would favor one who was opposed to
the other. This being the case II the
majority on the street is decisive,
perhaps both sides will be willing to
accept 1t as final for the entire mat
ter. On the other hand, IL the vote is
close, the article which deals with
the bridge directly will be sharply
contested.
From this 1t will be seen that those
desiring to vote on the bridge ques-
ton should keep thoroly posted as to
the business of the first hour. 1t
seems likely that the test vote may
not come until half past ten, but
the only safe way Is to be at the hall
by ten o'clock prepared to stay I'M
til the question Is disposed of.

On one of the last days Of January
Germany spoke. She declared it to
be her purpose on February first to
conduct a submarine campaign which
all have called ruthless. This war
fare is carried on within certain
zones about the British Isles and the
shores of the Mediterranean. The
German Imperial Government warned

not sail these seas and if they do it

lean ships are tied up in American
ports We do not sail the seas. The
mails OF the United States are now
carried to Europe in the steamers of
belligerent nations. Would there
have been much difference if the
German submarines had entered our
harbors and taken physical posses
sion and the regulation of our mer-
chant marine had been turned over to
the German admiralty? Germany
now dominates the seas. She has
taken away the rights of American
citizens to pursue their legitimate
business upon the great waters.
American ship owners and American
business men are taking their orders
from Berlin. Our Atlantic seaports
are blockaded by Germany and our
ship owners are afraid to assert their
rights How long can these condi-
lions remain as they are? The con-
dition is intolerable.
There are two cartoons which tell
the story of this perplexiug situation

other cartoon appeared in the Brook

appraised head of serpent he is
made to say, "Oh, for gun" Across

Kaiser and so nightly is he amused
that he is holding his sides as he

to do. Keep off the seas" Germany
is sovereign. If two years ago any
one had suggested that the present
