LONG STORM
COSTLY ONE

The storm which started Sunday
shortly before noon is proving a costly
one along the Kennebec. Monday night
the river began to come up with a
rush and all during the night and all
day Tuesday it steadily rose until there
was more water going over the dam
here than there has been before for
several years. The owners Of logs were
wearing an anxious look which was in
creased when it was reported shortly
after, noon that the boom at Skowhe-
gan had broken letting down 100000
feet of logs and that those at Shaw
NUT might let go at any minute and
that the water was within few inch
es Of the tops Of the piers The booms
OF the Hollingsworth & Whitney Co.
were gone over by the crews and ev-
cry preparation was made to meet the
onslaught of the logs should the
hooms remaining between this city and
SkoWhecan let go and add their logs
TO the number from Skowhegan. Much
fertile land, great deal Of which had
already been planted, was overfowed
and the loss will be very high in this
direction. One of the worst losses in
this section was on the island in front
OF the Plains which had been planted
by some men from that section and
which was several feet under water
TUESDAY. The seed planted there will
evidently be total loss.

German Comment on the
Wilson Note to Russia

nication to the Russian government.
Does Wilson write to Russia to has
ten the advent Of peace? No-to pre-
vent peace"
From the chaos Of the Russian rev.
olution there has arisen lasting and
growing feeling. namely, a strong will
for peace England ciings to stolen ter
ritories. France dare not admit to a
rest Of the left bank Of the Rhine must
remain German.
Many Russian revolutionaries may
have gazed longingly toward the Am
erican strand. where the great peace
apostle Wilson dwells. VIII he come
to their aid? No. He stabs them in
the back. This peace preacher sends
a message proclaiming war to the bit
ter end and warning against extend
ing the hand of peace across the from
tier"
Vorwaerts says: This newly con-
verted zealot has preached war to a
nation which is tired of butchery and
longs for human kindness.
Wilson wants men to go on butchering
each other for years and then finally
fraternize. How many will be left for
that celebration"
Germania says
ITO bring the Russians finally to rea-
son the Entente now has sent the demo-
cratic Wilson into the field. Now in the
last instance they aim to frustrate the in
ternational Socialist conferences. especial
ly the discussions on war aims. May
they be bitterly disappointed"

Amsterdam, via London. June 12-Gom--
menting on President Wilson's note to
Russia. the Berliner Tagtblatt, according
to a Wolf Bureau dispatch to the Dutch
papers. says:
The Entente countries naturally are
filled with satisfaction and gratitude to
President Wilson for having made him
self the mouthpiece of the enemy alliance
against democracy. President Wilson has
practiced seif-denial to such an extent
that he could not have given the message
a more appropriate superscription than
Wilson versus wilson But perhaps tv
rates the judgment of the representatives
Il the Russian peoples insulting low when
he believes that they will not grasp the
meaning of the tight-rope performance by
rranco-British order with the object OF
the detaching the Russians from their
standpoint.
IF the Russian faculty to distinguish
the real from the unreal is not dead,
then President Wilson will experience the
truth Of the saying that Fine words
butter no parsnips.
The Vossische Zcitung under the cap
t.on War Message Of Peace Presi-
dent" says:
THE turgid phrases are so foreign
to the German nature that the German
mind cannot understand how one can
honestly enthuse over the fraterniza-

seek TO prolonS most horrible war.
