Incubator Of Hate"

A rough but original genius Of a
Maine logging crew, struggling for a
fitting comparison for a bad place in
a swamp where he had all kinds of
trouble with his team. called it "helrs
slaughter house." When asked why he
pitched upon that expression, he said
he epined that the slaughter mousse
would be about the worst part of any
place. Today he would probably de-
scribe several big strips Of Europe as
he did the entangling swamp that muir
dered his horses.
One of the worst sides of the Euro
pean preparation for Hades is de-
scribed by D. Thomas Curtin in his
new book where he refers to the "in-
cubator Of hate" coined by the writer
to describe Germany's present school
ing Of the little hearts and souls and
minds Of its future citizens.
Their little souls" he writes in his

tin, has played his part in the train

worship and enemy hatred as effec

Here by the way. is the German
school-child's daily sung Chant OF
Hate (translated, Of course):
Oh England, oh, England, how great
are thy lies.
However great thy crimes, thou cheatest
the gallows.

Prince.

Officers and Gentlemen.

A correspondent writes:
when our new crop Of lieutenants
leave Plattsburg and other officers train
ing camps to take up their assignments
with the national army, they will be off
GERS and gentlemen in the best sense of
that classic phrase. And the second half
Of the phrase is held as important as the
first in. the United States Army. There
has been much marveling on the part of
the public at the number Of would-bs
officers who have been weeded out after
two or three weeks trial in camp.
There is mystery story behind many a
dismissal Of a young fellow with every
indication Of being good physical and
mental material. One was told the other
day at club here by a young training
camp officer on leave.
There was a young man in his COM
pany who had shown first-grade qualities.
He was a fine physical specimen. nat
ural executive and leader. and haA done
hard, faithful and efficient work. One
day some ladies were watching the drill
AS this mans file came past the drill
sergeant overheard him make Joking
remark about the lady visitors that was
obscene in it's nature. He was hauled be-
fore the commandant at the close Of
drill. Others who overheard the remark
were called as witnesses. He was dis
honorably discharged from camp on the
ground that man who could make such
a remark about a woman was not gen.
tleman and so unfit to be an American
officer.
HE might make an ideal Colonel OF a
Prussian regiment assigned to Belgian
raid duty, but he won't do to command
Uncle Sans "Teddies" in France.
I've don't keep a man, either, who ex-
presses the slightest wish to co. said the
officer. NO one is wanted who isn't con-
sumed with enthusiasm and bent on max
ing the highest mark Of efficiency"
Let us hope that the wedding out pro-
cess will be complete, that not an officer
is trained who is not a gentleman after
ward. But we fear some who are not
gentlemen will get by and some who
would be better officers and men will be
rejected. We are glad that this writer
concluded with the assurance that no
man is kept who is not enthusiastic to go
and make high mark. 1t leaves US in
better position to judge why many clean,
mentally alert and physically perfect
young men have been turned away-some
men would find it impossible to build up
enthusiasm for war however much
they might feel it their duty to go and to
fight for world democracy.

Give Your Address
Every Time You Write

Washington, D. G., July 23.-(Spe-
ciaD.-'T WISH" said Senator Fernald
Of Maine, the other day, as he held up
a letter, that all who write would be
as careful about giving their correct
address as this man. He lives in one
of the smallest places having carrier
service in our State, yet he never fails
to place his street and number on both
the envelope and at the top Of his
letter, and he writes frequently. The
result is that if he fails to receive an
answer the fault lays either with ad-
dressing the envelope in my office or
iii the postoffice service Undoubtedly,
II q letter was sent him with only his
name and the town as an address he
would get it, for he is we'll known in
his home town.
Here, Is the reason why I wish all
were like him." continued the Senator,
lifting up another letter. This writer
lives in one of the LARGEST cities Of
Maine. He calls my attention to a let
ter he wrote some weeks ago asking
certain information. The information
was sent him, but the letter was re-
turned, the postal authorities having
stamped it UNKNOWN The only ad-
dress he gave beside his name was that
of the city in which he lives. He did
not give either street or P. o. box num-
Der. All I could do was write him, put
his name and that Of the city on the
envelope and send it along. trusting the
carriers would be able to locate him.
They were not. This letter just received
is no better so far as the address is
concerned. What am going to do? If
the first one was not delivered what
hope is there of a second reaching the
gentleman, yet he expects and is en-

titled to an answer giving him the
desired information.
I'VE have many such cases every
week. Especially is this true Of tele-
grams. Many of these are from men
whose address ] have no way Of know

all kilograms as wellaas letters, but in
most cases the letters acknowledging
kilograms from persons whose address
is unknown to me come back undeliv-

'All this applies to the other mem
bers as wei as myself. We all want
to knowledge letters and kilograms
from the people Of Maine and to an
swer their inquiries, because they are
entitled to the information and to be
informed that their communication has
reached us. If they are careful to give
their address in full they can be as

Guard Ordered at War Strength.

Adjt. Gen. Frank d. Baldwin re-
ceived orders from the secretary of
war at Washington to recruit every
unit of the National Guard to the max
imum prescribed by law. With the
orders came the advice that all guard
units now in federal service would be
drafted into the service Aug. 5th. The
coast guard artillery is excepted. AS
fast as men are recruited they are to
be held at the armories until Aug. 5th,
when they are to be sent with their
regiments to concentration camps in
the Western department.
