CARRY YOUR OWN BUNDLES.

The popular American prejudice against
"toting" bundles in public is to be at
tackled by the commercial economy board
of the Council of National Defense in a
nationwide campaign through motion
pictures and the press. A heavy drain
on the country's economic resources is
caused yearly, says the committee, by the
person who insists that his toothbrush or
cake of toilet soap must be rushed to his
home in a truck manned by two men,
whose services might otherwise be utiliz-
ed in military capacity by the Govern
ment. 'Carry your own," is the slogan
adopted by the committee which hopes to
materially reduce the economy expendi-
lures resulting from the modern delivery
system.
This at first reading seems to be a good
plan, but these two men save the tired
housewife and mother a good many
steps. The man of the house cannot tote
bundles and make shoes, weave cloth,
build ships, ETC., at the same time 1t is
just possible that the delivery wagon is a
conserver of human usefulness Before
starting a drive on the public it is well to
be sure we are right before we speed up

CAT A PORT IN FRANCE e

When our contingent of fighting men
arrived on the other side of the Atlantic
we were told that they had landed sat
port in France" All England and France
knew the name of that port and so did
the Germans. All the above powers
knew over what route our ships were
sailing The submarines were informed
where they could be attacked and our
Allies knew where to meet them on the
ocean. The English and French have
known the number of troops ever since
they arrived, and doubtless the Germans
knew the number in a few hours after
they embarked. There is no secrecy
about these things except here at home.
We are putting our resources and our
men into this war. We have right to
know at least those things which are
currently known in Europe. Ought not
the censor to have little more common
sense than the ostrich who sticks his
head in the sand and thinks his Whole
body is in absolute concealment?

WELL MANAGED

So quietly did regiment of marines in
cluded in that part of the Pershing expe-
dition which already has landed in France
slip away from the League Island navy
yard, New York, that sailor baseball team
at practice on the parade ground did not
know 27OO men under command of Col
Charles A. Doyen were on their way
to the battlefront. No drums or bueles
sounded, and the only ceremony which
attended the leave-taking was a brief
speech to the officers by Mai. Gen.
George Barnett, commandment of the
corps. The story Of their quiet march
from barracks was released here tonight.
At 2:30 o'clock the afternoon of the de-
parture the baseball players had the pa
rade ground all to themselves and no
one was in sight on the street in front of
the home of the post commander. A
few seconds later the head of column of
soldiers of the sea in heavy marching
order swung into the street in front of the
commanders house. Maj. Gen. Barnett
and a little group of other officers from
headquarters took up posts on the turf of
the parkway beside the curb. The COM
pany officers of the battalion stepped out
in front of Mai. Gen. Barnett and saluted.
For half a minute the corps commandant
addressed them. His message was simply
that he trusted that the marines who
were setting out that day to fight under
the flag in France would aquit them
selves with credit to themselves and to
their country.

THE EMBARGO ON FOOD SHIP.
MENTS.

1t is well established fact that the
neutral nations are acting in collision
with the Germans in securing food from
the United States and turning it over to
our enemies. The President has taken
the matter in hand and it is expected that
he will very soon issue complete state
ment of what he proposes to do to put
stop to this We look for early and very
decided action by the President. Prob
ably no shipper will be allowed to load a
vessel without first obtaining a shippers
license Before license will be issued
the government will insist that satisfac-
tory proof shall be given that the cargo
is not to reach Germany If this be done
honestly and thoroughly it will hasten
the end of the war more than sending a
hundred thousand men. Blockade Ger
man ports. Shut off German food in
every possible way. Starve them out if
possible. This may seem inhuman, but

THE RIOT IN EAST ST. LOUIS.

In last weeks riot in the above city of
southern Illinois, it is known that four
whites and thirty-three negroes were
killed and that hundred or more persons
were injured. This riot was not only
disgrace to the State of Illinois but to the
entire country. Had it not been for the
presence of troops in large force this
race war would have continued for days
Southern sentiment has for years largely
prevailed in that part of the State. Dur
ing the Civil War it was full of Southern
sympathizers. The present is not the only
time when racial battles have occurred
Last May there was a strike in the above
city and negroes were brought in to take
the place of the strikers This kindled
the fire of hatred which smouldered till
trivial pretext caused it to burst forth
in murder, arson and brutality. The
stigma of this disgrace may finally and
perhaps uniustly, be laid at the doors of
the labor unions. At least it is fact that
the Industrial Workers of the World does
sometimes lead and approve of outrages.
The laborer is worthy of his hire and in
too many cases has to earn more than he
gets in wages. The laboreI has his rights
but murder is not one of them.
If our form of government is to survive,
law and not violence must control. This
affair is an ominous portentsfor the future.
In the South the idea is prevalent among
the blacks that conditions in the North
are more favorable and many are migrat-
ing to our side of Mason and Dixon's line.
Our working people through their initia-
tive skill and efficiency, aided by their
unions, have deservedly attained to a
standard of living enjoyed no where else
in the world. This standard must not be
materially lowered, and the influx of
cheap labor in any considerable amount
will result in disturbances often of seri-
Gus nature. The negro problem, always
a serious one, is by no means solved
Until the negro rises to the efficiency ane
daily working value of the real worker!
of the North there will be occasiona
riots To-day he is only competitor il
the lower stratum of workers, who are
easily led to violence by the lawless anc
the vindictive.

THE LURE OF MAINE.

Oh, Land of pine and hemlock,
Be-gemmed with sparkling lakes
Upon whose rippled surface
The light of morning breaks,
Where silver CLEAN of starlight
In dream of beauty lies,
Bright mirrors of Diana fair,
Beneath the MONDAY skies.
Oh, depth of silent forest,
With aisles cathedral, vast,
Where lances of the sunbeams
Are broken, glancing cast.
Haunt of the timid creatures
Who ask naught else but life,
Far, far away from turmoil
And blight of human strife.
Oh, shores of cleaning sand-dunes
Oh, cliffs storm-worn and grey,
Whose feet the ebb-tides softly kiss
Where storms drive high the spray,
Ye call with magic music,
To hearts the wide Land DER
Your voice with charm compelling
Bids welcome to our door.
Just as mother waiting
When shades of twilight fall.
You beckon to Earth's children
And bid them one and all
Forget, for just little,
Their greed and sordid gain
To seek by shore, in woods, mid hills
The health and Joy of Maine.

A Forest Reserve for Maine.

The United States owns 1853 forest re-
serves. Only one of these is in New
England and is located in New Hamp-
shire. This reserve includes Mt Wash
ington, Mt. Adams, Mt. Jefferson and
most of the lesser mountains of the Presi-
Dental range. Looking down from Mt
Washington upon either side of the range
the large areas of adjacent farm lands,
the summer hotels, the good roads, golf
links, and the crowds of tourists all plain
ly visible impresses the beholder that this
is really National park and not in any
true sense a forest reserve. But here in
Maine we have a territory which seems
to have been especially created for a real
forest reserve.
Standing on Mt. Katahdin one sees to
the north only tree covered mountain
GUS country. To the east the forest seems
to be but plain. To the south one looks
over forest and lakes to Mt. 10 Mary and
adjacent hills twenty miles away, and to
the west, still further distant, Kineo and
Burnt Jacket seem shrunken to hills.
Not carriage road is anywhere to be
discerned. No smoke can be seen rising
from farm house chimney In fact the
land is valueless for agricultural purposes.
If one knows whittier to direct his ma
rine glasses, perhaps half dozen farms
may be located. The territory which !
have in mind is, at least, twice as large as
Waldo county. We who ride comfort
ably through our county in our motor
cars at twenty miles an hour, greeting
our friends along the way, have little
conception of distance. But those of us
who, with Is pounds of salt pork, pota-
toes and canned food on our back, have
traversed 20 miles of rough tote road OF
have tramped all day along a trail con-
tinuously winding between boulders and
The Republican journal., 1917-07-12
through tangled brush, know what e

miles really mean.
But WEAKNESS is forgotten in the light
of the camp fire at night and sleep be-
meath the stars renews vitality. Nay,
reader, do not sheer. The blood of the
forefathers still flows, perhaps diluted, in
our veins. There is something in most of
US which a struggle with Nature, single
handed, still allures, something in the
wilderness which still thrills and satisfies.
Neither the axe nor devastating fire
should be allowed to destroy the last real
wilderness of New England and forever
take away from future generations the
opportunity to meet Nature in the gar
ments which she wore a thousand years
ago.
To the practical mind, however, the
importance of a forest reserve must be
presented from practical view point. A
forest reserve is primarily place where
timber is grown, cared for and utilized
Our vanishing forests show emphatically
the need of careful and extensive con-
servation and care. A forest reserve is
also a fish and game reserve where trout
abundantly breed in mountain brook and
swim down the foaming rapids to stock
the ponds and lakes; place where game
of every native sort unscared subSiSts
| till numbers populate outlying forests.
More important than anything, which we
have mentioned above is the effect of
! forests on rainfall in the late summer and
early fall seasons when crops are matur-
| ing. During these seasons atreeless coun-
try is usually country of drouths. In
the forest the drainage is retarded by
fallen debris and clogged ravines and the
stored moisture gives itself up slowly by
evaporation to the upper air, clouds form
and precipitation occurs. Nature does
not give what she cannot take The i'm
portance of large areas of forest does not
| receive the attention which it demands
/ The time is coming when the government
will establish forest reserve in the State
of Maine. A. |. BROWN.
