the Moody school in Mt. Hermon in
Guild, Mass, and graduated in June IT

fitted for the work of the ministry and is

ways loved by the children He has a

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

twill be remembered that the great Ger
man liner, the Kronprinzessin Cecilie came
into Bar Harbor waters almost exactly
three years ago. The Cecilie was fine
ship propelled by engines having AZ, 900
horse power She had sailed from New
York for Bremen, but the captain, hear
ing by wireless that war had been declared,
turned back, fearing capture by the Brit
ish. The Cecilie was afterward taken to
Boston where she became the companion
of six other large German lnterned ships.
The officers and men of these ships re-
manned on board until last April, when
the United States declared war and orders
were given to seize the vessels. Before
the orders were carried into effect the
Germans smashed many of the working
parts of the engines and punched holes
in the boilers. 1t was said at the time
that the damages could not be repaired in
less than a year, because the machinery
was all of German construction and en-
tirely different from anything made in
this country. A little more than three
months ago, the work of repair was be-
gun. Today all of these ships have been
nut in excellent condition for service in
the carrying trade or as transports for
troops or supplies.
Indeed it is said that the Cecilie is fitted
with sleeping hunks for our soldiers who
are soon to go to ''some port in France. y
A few days ago we read in the Bidde-
ford Journal an account of the disappear
ance of a supposedly loyal German who
was constructing an engine for large
submarine under construction at Ports
mouth Navy Yard. The engine was of
German type. Suspicion of the German
was aroused, and, before investigation
had proceeded very far, the man disap-
peared, taking with him several of the
small and intricate parts of the engine
and all the blueprints and drawings. Here
was submarine which, when completed,
would cost 81 900, 900, without any ap-
parent means of being equipped with an
engine such as was required to make the
vessel q success. A young man, only 10
years old, who had worked as a helper
of the German was asked if he could tell
how to make the missing parts and as
semble the whole. He modestly replied,
81 cannot promise to do that, but I'll try"
He went to work and he succeeded The
secret of making that sort of engine is
no longer German secret. The work
of the Boston machinists and the marvel
Gus work of this young man show that we
do not need to take lessons in mechanics
from any nation in the world. That
young man should have a free scholar
ship in the best school of technology in
the United States, and should be other
wise well rewarded. But until the war
is over we need him in our business.

A CAMDEN LAUNCHING.

With flags flying, the Camden Band
playing inspiring airs and whistles blow
ing, the four-masted schooner Blue Peter
left the ways at r. L. Beams shipyard
last Saturday, about noon. The Blue
Peter is handsome craft and was built
for w. & S. Job & Co. of New York CITY,
AS she left the ways she was christened
with flowers by Miss Myrtle Bean, daugh-
ter of r. L. Bean, the builder. The fol-
lowing are some of the dimensions of
the schooner: Keel, 100 feet; beam, 40
feet; depth of hold, 20 feet. She has
carrying capacity of 1900 tons and meas
ures |, 100 tons net. Her cost will be
about S150,000.
1t was most beautiful launching and
witnessed by great throng of people.
Cyrus X. Curtis arrived from Philadel-
fphia just in time for it. About 200 launch
ed on board. Mr.. and Mrs Bean enter
tanned rs friends at lunch in the after
cabin. Daniel Gilmartin and David Cohen
of the firm of Gilmartin & Trundy, the
managing ship brokers, were here for
the event.
Although named for the English Jack,
she flew only the American flag, besides
her signals. She will be under American
registry and has not been chartered as
yet.
AS soon as she struck the water the
tug Sommers N. Smith took line and
locked her at the marine railway, where
she will be fitted for sea.
Mr.. Bean received check of $3.50 from
the owners, w. & S. Job & Company of
New York, stating that he could use the
same to buy flowers for the christening
and for any other expenses incurred and
the remainder, if any was left, could be
given to the Red Cross in the name of
Mr.. Beans daughter, who christened her.
With the generosity and kindness for
which he is noted, Mr.. Bean at one gave
the entire check to the Red Cross and
paid the expenses himself. With such a
good start and kindly amount given to
this noble work, the Blue Peter deserves
good luck and she left the ways at Cam
den with the best wishes of all for many
successful trips. The day was an ideal
one for launching and there was large
crowd, including many of the summer
colony.
She is the third vessel launched from
the Bean yard this year, and another
schooner will be ready for launching there
by Nov. 1st

WAR SUMMARY.

A week ago the Allies took the often
sive in Flanders. This was heralded as
the beginning of one of the greatest bat
ties of the war, but heavy storms called
a halt in the offensive after the British
and French had met with marked sue
cesses. 1t is believed that the battle will
be resumed this week. According to the
dispatches, Lens is doomed. The British
first line is now within about half mile
of the city. No doubt it could be taken
by storm, but Gen. Haig is cautious and
spares his troops whenever possible. The
Russian situation is bad. Her soldiers
are many of them without fighting spirit.
On the Italian front there has been no
considerable change. There seems to be
no increase in the number of ships sunk.

entirely separate enactment. But Presi-
dent Wilson was unwilling that Con-
gress, through committee, should have
anything to do with expenditures and at
his command the amendment was strick-
en- out
He is reported to have said that the
creation of such committee would be a
criticism on his conduct of the war. The
President also objected to food cor1mis-
sion to consist of three men, and insisted
upon having but one commissioner and
Congress yielded again. This officer will
be appointed by the President and it is not
required that the appointment shall be
confirmed by the Senate, although post
master for the smallest presidential post
office must be so confirmed. Verify we do
''strain at gnat and swallow camel"
The President is in supreme control, not
only of food, but of expenditures for
carrying on the war. From now on the
people of this country who, in taxes of
some sort, will have to pay the bills, are
to have nothing to do with the conduct
of the war Congress has been retired
to back seat to sit beside Mr.. Roose-
welt. Where does democracy show con-
spicuously in this history OF what use
was it for Congress to spend it's time IN
discussing these matters? One good re-
suit, however, seems apparent. If food
gambling is not stopped, if money is
wasted and grafters enriched, or if the
conduct of the war is weak and ineffec-
tive, there will be no divided RESPONSE
bility. We shall all know where to place
the blame
