SAYS DRYS WOULD
SOLVE COAL PROBLEM

american Democracy is not yet safe
for America" declared Rev Harry Ad-
ans Hersey of Foxboro Mass. in an
address before the Maine Sunday
school convention Wednesday at Rock
land.
There is no true democracy in New
York when Tammany rules, no actual
democracy in Pennsylvania so long as
the police and imported thugs club a
mans political opponents. and certainly
there is no safe democracy in Maine
while the Bangor plan and the Lewis
ton system and other forms of nullifi-
cation were in practice.
1T was Boston liquor dealers not
Maine citizens, who had their will and
their way in your large cities.
God knows that an absolute mon
archy under men like Gov Mililken
Would have been a truer democracy
than what the people of Maine tolerat-
ed until liberation itself became lntol-
cradle.
American democracy will not be safe
until all such sinister influences are
abolished, and that will not be till John

AMSTERDAM July 11.-A coalition
cabinet in Germany Is impending. The
newspapers Germania and Berlin Tage
Blatt asserted that the political situ-
alton continued complicated because a
majority of the parties have been un-
able to agree. apparently confirming
this report for combination of all
forces In the ministry.
From other sources IL appears like
1y that Foreign Minister Zimmerman
Vice Chancellor Helferich, Colonial
Secretary Soils and possibly one or two
other ministers will be affected in the
shakeup. Minister of Marine Capelle's
position was described as uncertain
Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg will re-
tain hold. according 10 unievrsal pre-
diction. The Tage Blatt revealed that
the German liberal leader, Stressmann,
a. Tuesdays meeting of the reichstag
main committee violently attacked
the chancellor.
In another Berlin dispatch the Ger
mania was quoted as announcing the
centre party in Germany had over
whelmingly approved Erzebergers ef-
forts to force the reichstag to go on
record for a statement of Germany's
war aims.
All dispatches from Germany are
heavily censored. 1t is certain. how
ever. that the submarine war and the
food situation within Germany are
playing a big part All parties seem
satisfied that Hindenburg has the west
front well in hand and the Russian
offensive Is expected 70 wear itself out
There is a disposition on the other
hand to demand more satisfactory re-
suits from the submarine. or abandon
the warfare which has alienated neu-
trails.
