REMEMBm THE MAINE.

1t is stated (said to be reliable au-
thority) that the General Weyler, init
mately connected with Cuban massa-
cres, before the Spanish-American war
blew up the Maine. 1t is reported that
he used eight thousand pounds of dy-
Mantle and two hundred and twenty
five miles of insulated wire and just
twisted up the Maine with one hand
an a single battery key. She was
blown up first from the outside, then
her magazine exploded and she was
blown UP from. the inside also.
This information is said to be in pos
session of the u. S. government and
given out to those who may wish to
know.
Millions of dollars invested in battle
ships can go up in the air and then
sink to the bottom of the ocean inside
of thirty minutes. as it too often hap
pens in contact with German subma-
rines These millions quickly get out
of sight. One finger on battery key
can do for our battleships exactly what
General Weyler did to the battleship
Maine with one single finger on
a similar bttery key.
Therefore remember the Maine!
Every valuable railroad bridge in the
United States is now guarded by United
States soldiers. Whether they will be
equal to the occasion remains to be
told.
Submarines and dynamiters are
things to be we'll remembered past,
present and future. We are spending
untold millions in this country, watch
ing for submarines and dynamiters OF
this era.
When few rods of insulated wire can
be connected to any sort of struc-
ture and a fuse applied and a battery
key touched at the right place We may
we'll ask ourselves If we are not already
in the tolls of bitter and unbelievable
warfare?
Remember how easy it was to blow
