Briefly, Great Britain has enrolled and
equipped great hard-fghting ARMY of
5000, GOO men. Increasing the tonnage of
her navy by million since war began,
she has driven to port the bulk of the
German navy and moved overseas for the
allies 100000 tons OF munitions, 8, 900, =
600 men, and a million horses. She has
examined for contraband some %, DOC
ships. And in the midst of the U-boat
BLOCKADE" of the British isles nearly
1900 ships passed in and out of British
ports within IS days.

the sets of filet lace that lend an air of
elegance to very plain dress The wide
shawl collar with very deep matching
cults is perhaps best endorsed, but any
thing is modish if it is filet or has touch
OF tilet in its make up. Sets of organdie or
georgette finished with several tiny frills
are very dainty and becoming, and as
usual at this time of year belts and sweat
er chains are priced ornaments Almost
any bead combination goes for the chains
and some of them sell for a pretty
penny, but are not very expensive if one
gets them up at home.
Army vests without sleeves, exactly
like the ones worn by soldiers and sailors,
are popular with the girl contingent.

PROTESTS A RECENT LAW.

A communication of interest to every
citizen and which concerns the invasion
OF the common rights of every man to
have tree access to the court by law
passed by the present legislature is re-
produced from the columns of the Lewis
ton journal. The letter by Former Chief
Justice Emery is judicial statement of
vital Importance. Here is the important
part of the letter:
JUDGE EMERY'S LETTER
To the Editor of the Lewiston Journal:
In reading at the close of its session
the Public Acts of the legislature of 1917
| noted with surprise the following, viz:
Chapter "a.
An act relating to the issuing of blank
writs by clerks of the Supreme Judicial
court and Superior courts, clerks and re-
corderS of municipal and police courts
and trial justices.
Clerks of the Supreme Judicial courts
and Superior courts, clerks and recorders
of the municipal and police courts and
trial justices of the State shall not sell
or deliver any blank writs or precepts
bearing the seal of said courts and the
signature of said clerks, recorders and
trial justices, to any person except one
who has been admitted as an attorney
and counselor in chancery in accordance
with the laws of this State.-(Approved
March %, 1919
This legislation so seriously affects the
due administration of justice in this
State that | at last after some reflection
yield to the conviction that protest ought
to be made against it.
think the legislation is without prec-
edent or parallel, at least in any common
law state or country. 1t violates the
long established common right of free
access to the courts by suitors for justice.
1t also violates the constitutional right of
the people of Maine to have right and
justice administered freely and without
sale, completely and without denial "
After some research do not find it any

utes, expect in the statute in question:

| 1t is an almost universally accepted
dogmatism that 'no human mind can
think up to billion" Only by Illus
trated comparisons can the hugeness of
the billion score be conveyed to the aver
age mental grasp. Here is a statement
that can easily be verified by simple
multiplication. If billion of silver dol
lars were in heap and counter were
set the task of counting Them one by
one, II he counted continuously for
twenty-four hours to the day and 800
days to the year, counting at the rate of
dollar every second, or sixty dollars to
the minute, and never stopping for a
minute, 1t would require over thirty
years to complete the billion count, and
it would require over $50 years to count
the fifteen billions of dollars which it is
in prospect that the United States will
invest in the war business before the end
OF next year. If the counter were limited
to eight hours per day it would require
1850 years to complete this $4,000 600.
GOO count. Figure it out for yourself
and you will find the computation is well
within the limit.
But money is being handled in this war
much as loads of sand are handled in the
building OF skyscIaper. All things are
relative, and values as expressed in
money especially are relative. Four
hundred years ago a British shilling had
nearly the purchasing power that Brit
lsh pound has at present 1t really
doesn't matter much whether business is
transacted upon high or low monetary
level SO long as the relative balances and
proportions are maintained. Much of
the money which the United States is
proposing to put into the war business is

loans will in time be paid off The
money put into ships will not be squand-

highly probable that even the airships
may be put to peace uses. Flying five

 "The refugees, although unarmed, sometimes turned on their guards. More than once they made the assassins pay dearly. There is woman in Bagdad hostel who was one of a brave band of two or three hundred Armenian women who held .,ass near Urfa. Their menfolk had all been treacher- ously killed off earlier, and they knew that obedience to the proclamation of exile was as fatal as resistance.
 They held the pass with their rifles for nearly week, and the Turks had to bring up artillery to break their re- sistance. Some fifty of them escaped. The woman who is now in Bagdad was rescued by Turk of the better school, who treated her as his own daughter.
 Few Armenian women were so fortunate? Many were killed with as little scruple as the men. Plain ness and good looks were fatal in different ways. The old and ugly died by violence or were starved;
