There was a big gathering of men at
the fire department building Thursday
evening, members of the Board of Sell
ectmen. the fire commission and the
fire department being present. The
purpose of the session was to get to-
gether and get better understanding
on several matters. There is a move
ment on foot which seems to be well
approved and that is relative to the slid
ing wage scale for the men of the fire
department. At present the men are
paid $50 yearly and the selectmen con-
tend that this sum is not a sufficient
incentive to get the right men and keep
them in the department The plan of
the sliding scale is to pay at the rate
of $35 for the first three years, there
after until seven years had elapsed
S3U ana at the end OF seven years, $40
a year. With this change in salaries
1t is planned to cut the number of men
down from as to SO. Selectman Smith
spoke regretfully during his remarks
of the removal Of F. P. Pennell, who
has for long period served as the chief
of the Skowhegan police force. while
the people of the town Seem very anx-
ious that Mr.. Pennell besretained. The
present board of fire commissioners is
composed Of M. G. viles. r. T. Patten

When the people Of Germany are
told by the chancellor that the United
States is preparing to make war upon
them without cause, they are not told
OF the oft-repeated and unprovoked
murders Of American citizens: they are
not told Of the plots against the
American government and the Ameri-
can people. or Of the breaking of SOL
emn government promises. or the das-
tard]y betrayal of American friendship
anu patience.
If the German imperial government
were sincere in its professions of de-
sire to avoid war with the United
States. now is the golden opportunity.
But 1t is not sincere. The purpose is
plain.
II Germany wishes to halt American
proceedings right where they are it
would have only to indicate a willing
ness to eliminate some Of the fright
fulness from its methods of sea war
fare.
Bethmann- Hollweg. the Kaiser HIM
self and all the rest of them are aware
that the United States does not want
war with Germany or with any other
people. They know that no other
great nation would have submitted for
two years, or nearly that, to the in
suits and the repeated acts of war that
Germany has heaped upon US. But
they have misled the German people so
far. and the only salvation for them
and their regime of despotism lies in
continuation Of ignorance Of the truth
among the masses.
