He was short and bomely,
And had a shock Oh red hair,
But he started the Inn,
So we all ate there.
He was courteous and pleasant,
And filled u every desire,
You couldn't get us to quit him,
No; not even for hire.
And when winter was on us,
With the snow piling high,
He would keep us all there
Around q roaring good fire.
Then with story and song
He would stay till a late hour,
Then w would HE to our bed
And dream of a hot cake tower.
So come to the Inside Inn.
Where everything is fine,
And you will agree with me
That everything Is fine.

Corresponding,
The Militant SHffragettes-
ELLSWORTH, ME-, July Q, 1917

To The Editor Of the American:
May have space in your paper to
answer, from the best authority, the
question SO often asked regarding the
attitude OF the ,suffragists toward the
pickets at the White House7
The fourth article in the s'Fundame rftsi
Principles OF the National Woman's
Suffrage Association adopted more tina n
two years ago, states "disapprovai Of
heckiing and other so-called militant
activities" The spickets' belong, not
to the national association, but to the
National Waman's party, formerly the
Congressional Union, OF which the
founder and president is Miss Alice
Paul, who worked with Mrs. Pankhurst
in England and brought back to this
country some OF the English militant
methods, though in . much modified
form.
When q 'votes for Women banner
was flung before President Wilson in the
House OF Representatives, a forerunner
OF the picketing, Mrs. Walter McNab
Miller, first vice. president OF the national
association, issued statement condemn
ing the action a. one Of ssextreme discour-
tesy," and said: s.Such methods work =
great injustice to the great BODY of suf-
fragists throughout the nation who are
striving for their end with dignity and
courtesy. The National Woman Suffrage
association repudiates responsibility for
such Methods" She further said that
sstbe small group OF militant insurgents
are but ninth part OF the great SUI
frage movement"
The Springfield Republican OF June
printed . letter written BY Mr.. Carrie
Chapman Gait, president OF the national
association, to Miss Paul, urging that the
picketing be stopped, and declaring that
the national association, with 1000, 900
members sshas considered the picketing
an unwarranted discourtesy to the presi-
dent and futile annoyance to the mem
beers Of Congress"
1t was after the receipt OF this letter
that the '.pickets" performed their most
unpatriotic and discourteous act, which
has aroused the righteous indignation of
the country. The utter disregard which
they showed for Mrs. Cats csSnest sp-
peal ID sufficient evidence thft the two
associations are not in sympathy.

The efforts Of the Boston press to
heap the blame for the recent riot
upon the soldiers, sailors and citizens
who participated in it, are not echoed
by the press at large. While there
il no disposition to condone the
act of the rioters, other papers
place the blame upon the city Of Bos-
ton for allowing such demonstration
~ that which was interrupted by the
mob. It il not q question now Of
peace or war with Germany; We are
at war, and statements which might
have been made . few weeks ago In
an honest desire to preserve peace,

Former Prominent Resident Of South
west Harbor.
Capt. William Calvin Moore, Affection
ateiy remembered by many in Hancock
county, died June q at Port Townsend,
WASH, where he had made his home the
past seventeen years. He was Civil war

Capt. Moore was born April l6, 1882 ct
Southwest Harbor, Maine, the son OF
Joseph and Joan Stanley Moore. He was
the seventh OF . family OF nine children,
all OF whom, with oDs exception, lived to
extreme old age.
His early life was spent ct sea in the
West India trade, but when the Civil war
broke ont, he volunteered his services,
serving throughout the war. After the
war he followed the sea for some years
before retiring. He became prominent po-
litically in his home town and county,

He was married to Georgianna Ather-
ton, January 4, 1850. Mrs. Moore died at
Fort Townsend ten years ago. Four chill
dren were born to them, OF whom two are
living, Arthur H. and Clarence A. Moore,
both now engaged in business in Cali
fornia.
Two Of Capt. Moore's sons, Zsmro and
Franz, were among the best steamship
masters in the Alaska trade. Zemro went
down with his ship, the Admiral Samp-
son, about three years ago, when the ves-
sci wac rammed And sunk by the Princess
Victoria, while Franz died in seattle some
years ago.

President Wilson on Sunday placed
an embargo on the expectation Of
foodstuffs and war materials to all
foreign countries, effective July Is.
While the embargo is levied against
all countries, 1t is Directed particu-
larly against those neutral nations OF
Europe which have been supplying
American products to Germany. LII
censes will be granted by the govern
ment, through the recently created
exports council, for all proper ship
ments. The embargo viii put stop
to great excess shipments OF food
stufFs and other materials to the neu-
trail countries OF northern Europe,
from which, it is declared, enough have
been reshipped TO Germany to feed
the entire Germany army. 1t will
mean also that much Of the foodstuffa
now being sent abroad will be avail
able for home consumption, and, ac-
cording to the law OF supply and de-
mand, should bring sharp reduction

Three Months Of War.

Three months ago this county de-
clared war on Germany. We were
not prepared for war We knew, and
admitted it; Germany knew, and
scoffed at the possibility of our be-
coming an active factor in the war
for months to come.
We have chafed at what seemed
like delay after war was declared, but
let MS see what has been done. To-day
we have an army in France and feet
in the English channel. In three
months the navy has been recruited
up to 126, 900 men from less than 60, 900
and training given to thousands Of
gunners and crews for hundreds of
submarine chasers. The marine corps
has been recruited from 1900 to
nearly 80, 1000 and the regular army
from about LOO, 900 to 26o, 900. Scores
Of new regiments have been organ
lied and contracts let for artillery,
rifles, machine guns and military
equipment running into billions Of
dollars. The national guard has been
increased from less than 10o, 900, after
men with dependents had been
weeded ont, to probably 160, 900,
The arrangements for the new army
to be drawn BY the selective draft
have progressed 90 far that exemption
regulations have been prepared and
exemption boards appointed, and
another month will see the personnel
Of the first 900 active troops and
125, 900 reservists selected and await
ing mobilization. Sixteen military
citiss to house them during training
are under construction.
