the French women and children they had
collected on this territory. To Prof
johnson the trenches of the Allies is holy
ground.
He spoke briefly of the economic side
of the war question saying there was no
apparent lack of food except in flour,
butter, meats and sugar, but there was
no reserve supply These are limited to
1 or 1-2 pound packages, etc. Coal is be-
yond the reach of even rich Americans
living in France, and this entails great
suffering. Paper has gone up tremend-
ously The labor question is very seri-
Gus one. Practically all men between
the ages of 18 and 48 are in the trenches
or making munitions. The French say
of the laborers they import that it takes
four men to do what one Frenchman can.
Women are doing their part as con-
ductors, sweeping the streets, in muni-
tion factories, etc. 1t is no longer gay
Paris with its music, theatres and social
functions. 1t is time of simple dress,
no new dresses, coats or hats. Society
women are giving up their all for hos
pital work and relief funds. Her relie-
ious life has been deepened and in all of
her churches the sermons are on war.
The French soldier is fighting with the
help of God Almighty. Prof. johnson
said he had seen so much unselfishness
that he did not think he could ever be
selfish himself. They say men were not
made to kill each other. But they are
forced in and are now fighting for ideal
ism, for their future, for humanity and
to kill war.
French prisoners in Germany are not
allowed to receive packages from home
or to send home their addresses. The
German nation today is a curse to the
world. You can't trust them He then
told stories of cruelty that made many of
his hearers tremble with sympathy. He
gave vivid word pictures of the scenes
when the news was received that the
United States had entered the war, of
the arrival of our Army and Navy, of
supplies and munitions.
This is our war today with only a pond
between us and Germany, if England and
France are overcome. Germany thinks
she is Gods chosen nation and destined
to rule the world.
Prof johnson showed two large post
ers used in France to advertise her loan
and used them most effectively in his
plea for all his hearers to buy Liberty
bonds. In conclusion he said: "They
would like to come over here and get our
dollars. If we don't buy these Liberty
bonds in this great movement for liberty,
we are going to live on the blood of the
sacrifice of others as long as we live"
Saturday at 9 p. M the old Paul Revere
bell in the First Parish Unitarian church
and one prolonged, clear and steady blast
of the gong at Mathews Mill announced
to the people interested that Waldo coun-
ty had gone over the top of its maximum
of 1924, 900 on the National loan of bill
lion. The total s575, 700 in Waldo county
contained the following individual sub
scriptions: Largest F. S. Pendleton & Co.
of lslesboro, 5000; The Banks collect
lively, S55, 600; 4 of $4,000; of $1,000;
l OF 1000; 1 of $500; of $4,000; 1 of

Prof. John sons Message.

Directly after the enthusiastic audience,
led by Mrs. C. W. Wescott with Miss
Amy E. Stoddard al the piano, had sung
America as only Americans can sing it,
Prof. johnson, typical American was
introduced. He said he was never more
proud of the fact that he was an Ameri-
can than when he came in sight of the
Statue of Liberty in New York harbor,
but he believed that pride was growing
stronger as he saw how loyalty his coun-
try was coming to the assistance Of the
Allied nations in their struggle with the
most cruel and despotic nation the world
has ever known. He landed in London
on Sunday and went to Westminster
Abbey to the early evening service. The
alarm was given that an aeroplane attack
was near at hand and the service was
dismissed. On his way to his hotel he
found women crouching in the subway
with little children clinging to them.
Here, there and everywhere the innocent
were seeking shelter. From first to last
his discourse was filled with statements
and stories that revealed the reign of
fear and terror conducted by the repre-
sentatives of the Devil who live in Ber-
lin. France is heroic. Her men, women
and children are in the fight to the finish.
France is only tired and not beaten. War
is hell, but from taxicab driver I'd her
generals come the same thought, ''just
to the finish" They would rather be in
their graves than under the German
yoke. France did not want war. She
was not ready for it. When Germany
struck her first blow the French soldiers

| RAILROADS USE MUCH COAL
More Than one-Fourth of Total Pro-
duction of Mines Consumed in
Transporting Freight.

It took 136,00000O tons of bitumin-
Gus coal, or more than one-fourth Of
the total production of the mines, to
transport freight and passengers on
the railroads Of the United States in
1916. This was an increase of 14,000,-
900 tons over the amount consumed in
1885, or 11.5 per cent. The combined
bituminous and anthracite used by the
railroads was 142,735,OO0 tons.
These figures are contained in re-
port, just made public by the United
States geological survey, and illustrate
the enormous quantity of coal neces-
sary to keep the railroads running.
The amount of bituminous coal con-
sumed by the railroads in the southern
district increased from 100000 tons
in 1915 to 23,300,00O tons in 1916, or
81 per cent. The increase in the east
ern district was from 56,500,000 to 3d.
100000, or IL per cent, and in the west
ern district from 43,500,0O0 to 50,000,-
600, or Is per cent.

RAILROADING FOR WOMEN GROWS IN FAVOR

which woman cannot do except the
heaviest manual labor requiring great
physical strength. Women could not
lay railway ties. They should not be
called upon to do work which would
overtax their strength. We are not
used to the idea of the performance of
manual labor by women in this coun-
try. We don't like to see women do
hard work. But there is nothing about
railroad work requiring skill or accu-
racy which women cannot do.
"Our present work is conferred large
ly in the organization and training of
women for employment by the rail-
roads. We cannot tell how long the
war will last nor how many men we
may lose by the draft. We want to be
ready. The women we are training
are in many instances relatives of war
employees. They have taken up rail-
road work eagerly and energetically.
Their contribution to the industrial
welfare of the country will be of ire
mendous benefit to women. Many
women have extraordinary energy and
power for constructive work which has

never been put to practical use. The
war gives them an opportunity to
serve their country and themselves.
Show Equal Efficiency.
"In Europe women have proved
their capacity to do the work Of men
and American women are demonstrate
ing equal efficiency in every field they
have entered.
"Sir Robert Borden, premier Of Can
ada, was an anti-suffragist and OPP
posed generally to the work of women
in the fields pre-empted by men until
the war sent men to the front and
put women at work in their places.
Today Canada Is in better position
financially than at the outbreak of the
war. And in a speech recently Sir
Robert Borden said, Canada owes her
salvation to her women
"The New York Central has about
$4,000 employees, but many of them,
through the nature Of their work, are
exempt from the draft. Many railroad
men have volunteered, however. Two
hundred of our finest mechanics have
volunteered In engineering regiments
which will work on the railways of
France. Other railroads have given
their best men,"
