The soldiers lack reading matter.

small quantity OF magazines and news

actually were in fragments and were
thus read by others.

small shops in the villages have been
besieged by American customers. The
goods have gone so fast that in some
places the stores look as if the prop
rietors had moved out. The Ameri-
can soldiers are doing the Christmas
shopping early there because they
know how long it takes to get things
through the mails.

Resisting the Draft

The number of those resisting the
draft is, fortunately, very few; there
should be none. Some are conscien-
tiously opposed to war-any war
and may prefer to submit to any pun
ishment the government sees tit to
intlict rather than to take up arms,
but even such can not justify resiS-
lance or the giving of encourage
ment to those who do resist. Sti1l
less can tolerance be shown to those
who, while opposing CONSUMPTION, at
tempt to DRAFT others to join them
In opposing conscription. War is a
last resort is a reflection upon
civilization that it still reddenS the
earth-but so long as nations go to
war the citizen can not escape d citI-
zen's duty. If his conscience forbids
MIN to do what his government de-
! mands be must submit without COM
plant, to any punishment inflicted,
whether the punishment be impriS-
onment or death.
This is the best government on
earth-the one most responsive to
the will of the people, but it is a
government of the people-not of
one or few men. If a few are per-
mitted to resist law-any law-be-
cause they do not like it, government
becomes a farce. The law must be
enforced-resistanc is anarchy

! The first year of the Dorchester
! County Fair there was a steady down
/ pour of rain for the first three days,
! all the elements seemed combined to
prevent the attendanceS from being
| in sufficient numbers TO be profitable;
! last year at the last moment a por-
! ton of the attractions jumped the
! contract, but this year everything is
| favorable, the conditions for a sue
ceSSful Fair We're never better in the
history of State Fairs. The weather
! is ideal, no one has to stay home on
that account; the list of attractions
| is the greatest ever seen at a county
fair; then, too, these fairs afford
such splendid opportunities to talk
politics, the voters are there from ev-
cry community, and where the voters
are the candidates and the politi-
| clans are certain to be. There is
hardly money enough in a bank in
Cambridge to persuade these differ
ent political candidates that they
should stay away; no Stree, not on
your life, give the opposing candi-
date that advantage, we'll not if they
know it. Then there is still another
feature that has contributed very ma
and that is the fact that there is no
scarcity of money; with wheat above
81 a buShel: with tomatoes selling
from Use. to Csc. a basket, and with
other crops bringing like prices, there
is no lack Of cash; in fact, a glance
over the statements of the banks in
the county shows that there are over
three million dollars on deposit in
them, which is prima facIe evidence
of the presence of money.
Today's crowd was by far the lar
geSt that has ever been seen on the
grounds upon an opening day From
early in the morning until late in
the afternoon a steady stream of peo-
pie poured through the gates. In the
afternoon shortly before o'clock,
the steamer Dreamland reached
Cambridge with between 500 and l.
600 people aboard, and a consider
able number of these went directly
TO the Fair grounds.
In addition to being open during
the day, the Fair will be open every
night, and the blaze of electric lights
which the management has had put
up will make the Midway and sur
rounding grounds just as light as the
day.
If the attendance continues in the
same proportion the other days, all
records of the Fair will be broken, es-
pecially on Thursday, which is the
great big day of all of the county
fairs.

in khaki drill, but they showed them
selves able TO please the large audi
ence with their songs. The quartet,
composed of Messrs. Noble Cannon,
Henry Johnson, Ogle Cannon and
Robert Henry, accompanied by Paul
Pilchard, banjo, was quite favorite.
The second part was a fifteen min
ute concert by Misses Drusilla ana
Helen Phillips, the charming ana
accomplished daughters of Mr.. ana
Mrs. Edward S. Phillips; Mrs. John

were vocal solos by the Misses Phil
lips and Mrs. Croft. and a violin solo
by Mr.. Yates.
One very attractive feature of the
show was the daring act by "Pud"
Lloyd. Few professional vaudeville
actors could do better than this
young man, his sleight of hand work
being remarkable, and his feats with
electricity showing unequalled skill.

Washington, Feb 2S--rhe situation
in Congress fell into another tangle
again today and the prospects that
there will be no extra session were
not so promising. The House for
eign Affairs Committee reported a
bill to empower the President to pro-
tect American rights against the Ger
man submarine menace but declined
to make provisions for the President
to use other instrumentalities" " which
he desires, and prohibited the grant
ing of government war insurance to
munition ships.
The bill reported today by the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee is
agreeable to the President. Pros
poets of a Republican flibuster loomed
up again in the Senate today.
The House bill would provide a
Sl00,O00,000 bond issue and would
authorize the President to transfer
some Of the funds to the War Risk
Insurance Bureau.
