The Boston Herald prints in its editor
ial columns an extract from a letter writ
ten by Milton Rubenstein, Jewish boy,
to the head master OF the East Boston
high school. The boy came to America
three years ago, at the age OF seventeen,
with some education but no knowledge of
the English language. Writing OF the
influence OF the school the boy says:-
"You have been, indeed, very kind and
charitable towards me, and the atmos-
phere, the surroundings were so pleasant
and SO democratic that it truly over
whelmed me. Here, WAS made to forget
the cruel lot OF my people-the Jewish
people-and have found myself to be in
the midst of freedom and liberty and was
granted the opportunities for the pursuit
OF happiness. For all this / am pro-
foundly grateful and, as an insignificant
expression of my love and loyalty for
this land OF the free which gave me so
much, decided to enlist myself in the
American army, so that | may be Bile to
defend with my blood the great principles
OF our American democracy the democ-
racy which has been the asylum for all
the oppressed and prosecuted" Aside
from the lesson in patriotism it teaches,
| the letter is OF especial interest in Ellis
worth because of the fact that this boy
was one Of the pupils of Miss Alma
Silsby of Ellsworth.
A former Ellsworth Falls man was
badly chewed up by lion recently out
in Indiana. The man is w. II. Mcfarland,
who was born At Ellsworth Falls, and
lived for years in what is now the parson-
age. He visited Ellsworth two or three
years ago, coming down from Bangor,
where he was with circus. The Bill
board says OF his encounter with a lion
"W. H. Mcfarland, veteran side-sh how
manager with the Coop q Lent circus, i.
in the Miami county hospital at Peru
Ind, as result Of injuries sustained
when q Wallace lion attacked him al
Gary, Ind, May 2. While in the cage
with the lion Mr.. Mcfarland slipped and
the beast grabbed him by the right leg
and lacerated it badly. He lost great
deal OF blood before he could reach q
doctor, and it took twenty-seven stitches
above the knee, and fourteen below, to
close the wounds. On May he was
taken to the Miami county hospital where
the wounds were found to be in such
bad condition that the stitches had to bs
removed. For day or two his life was
uncertain. Although "Pop" Mcfarland
as he is known to his intimate friends. ii
afty-seven years OF age, he has the
vitality OF . young man, and as his bloot
is in excellent condition, he is improving
wonderfully. He expects to be back al
work not later than his ffty-seventh b
birthday, which falls on May 49,"

pECI. ARES ENGLAND
COMBATING U-BOATs

London, May 10. = Kennedy Jones
director of food economy, expressed
the belief that the German submarin
es were beginning to be mastered
in an address delivered at Edinburgh,
this evening on the necessity OF
economy in food consumption, Mr.
Jones said:
1--WE have been able. thanks to the
ingenuity of the admiralty and the
courage and skill of our sailors, to
make attacks by a new method on
the German U-boats, which so far
have been attended by success.
.hink that success will continue. II
would trumpt another trick and
might produce an earlier termination
If the war than those in high COM
mand allow themselves to hope for. Z"
Mr.. Jones added that the necessity
for compulsory rationing had not yet
arisen and that the country showed
distinct signs of obeying the food
controllers injunctions. He con-
tinued:
1--WE have had luck with wheat
consignments Our supplies of wheat
and wheat substitutes, with the poss-
ible exception of oatmeal, give less
cause for anxiety than they did six
weeks ago."

The beautiful memorial 10 Mary
Baker Eddy. the Discov srer and Found
er OF Christian Science. has been
turned over to The Christian Science
Board OF Directors by Ebert S. Bar
low of New York City who held the
contract for It's construction.
Tho memorial. which Is at Mt Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge. Mass, has
required over year and a half to
complete. The fund for its coDstruc-
ton, amounting TO over Sl50,OO0, was
FIRST announced By the directors In
June, 1911, and was some time ago
fully subscribed. These contributions
have been made as expressions OF
sentiment by Christian Scientists
throughout the world.
The site on which the memorial Is
located is not only one of great nat
ural beauty, but ON account OF It's
grade has rendered possible n more
picturesque and interesting treatment
INTELLECTUALLY than would he po5si'

No SEPARATE PEACE
WITH The GERMANS
NEW COALITION GOVERNMENT
To RESUME WAR MORE
AGGRESSIVE.

New York. May 21.-Russia, I'M
aggressive in the field for several
months because of irregular dissen-
sions, is making ready, under the
leadership of the new coalition gov
eminent, to resume an energetic
campaign against the Teutonic Pow
ers.
The new cabinet, holding the CON
fdence of the radical Council OF
Workmen's and Soldiers delegates,
has declared against a sepratc peace,
and announces its intention OF taking
the most energetic measures against
any counter revolutions. Declaring
that the establishment of a general
peace without annexations and in
IDENTITIES is possible only thru the
overpowering of Germany, the cab
met asserts that its most important
work is the revivifying of the army.
Gen. Brussiloff, leader of the great
campaign in Vvolhynia and Galicia
last year, and the other commanders
have returned to their headquarters
and Minister of War Kerensky, one
of the strongest men of the Russian
government, is to visit the battle
fronts Immediately to inspire the
Russian troops: Already the Russ
ians have shown signs OF activity
and artillery aud mine-throwing
ombardments by them are reported
from several important sectors along
the S00-mile front of Riga, on the
Baltic, to Galatz, on the Black Sea.
Along the Western front there has
been little infantry activity, hut the
artilleries continue to lombard impor
tant points. Field Marchal Won Hin
denburg apparently is, convinced that
his armies can not regain the ground
captured in the past six weeks by the
French and British and the Germans
for the present are resting on their
arms waiting for the next stroke by
the Entente troops.

GREAT RISKS

AMUSEMENT FOR MEN in
TRENCHES.
SKILL IS A BIG FACTOR
Thrilling Experience OF Fiicr In
Battle On The Western
Front.

London. May 20.--'In a service
like the Flying Corps the standard
of values is on a very different plane
from that of average lay minds
writes a British military expert from
the front. What is little short OF
miraculous to the unmiliated is but
a commonplace to the airman, and a
pilots achievement must be very fine
indeed before it is regarded with un-
due interest by his fellows, far less
by himself.
"This enlarged perspective has ex-
tended, though to a less degree. To
the soldiers in the trenches, to whom
the antics of an airplane, or squad
ron of airplanes, have long since
ceased to be q novelty. But some
times an undesirable touch of class
about the manner in which Il pilot
handles his machine Immediately at
tracts the attention OF the men be-
low, and the whole trench here will
he filled with eager and obseryant
spectators watching his every ma
npuver.
Every plane coming up from the
rear is earnestly scanned until its
identity is established, and once it
is known that he is coming, the
soldiers lean back on the irestep and
wonder what new stunt will be An
PRODUCED for their delectation. The
pilot in turn seems conscious of what
is expected of him. and the more
sheerfully takes his risks among the
ARCHES because it provides the tired
trench dwellcr with little mild
amusement
