Arouse to Truth

The burdens of war, the necessary
sacrifices of war, have not come home
to the people of Maine; there are too
many, far too many, who do not even
fully appreciate the fact that the ma
ton is at war; and perhaps the prime
reason for the great patriotic demon
stration of Tuesday was the wide felt
need of concerted action to arouse the
minds of a State to the possibilities Of
the future to the end that every soul
within it's borders may be ready to sac
rifice to the utmost for love Of coun-
try or rejoice to the utmost If the
worlds greatest nation succeeds in

No Definite Conclusions

Both the navy department and the
department of justice have taken
hand in the investigation. How far the
inquiry has progressed was not indi
Gated, but officials by their silence gave
the impression that no definite concu
sions had been reached. They declined
to comment on the news dispatches
from San Juan or on statements by
the Trans Atlantic Co. officials in New
York characterizing the story told by
the Manitowoc's crew as fiction.
In many quarters the inclination was
to regard the report as merely another
Of the crop of unfounded rumors cur
rent here since the visit Of the J-53 to
Newport.
Some naval officials, on the other
hand, have not concealed their belief
that German submarines and raiders
have been supplied from this side of
the Atlantic.

a well-directed blow, Snyder let 60 Kuhn
went down. The fight ended there.
When news Of Snyder's act became noised
about the neighborhood several of his old
friends got together, made a Jersey splice
and then went out and bought a fagpole
and a flag. All of which accounts for "Old
Glory" being very much In evidence outside
of Snyder's home.

ington of all tho representatives of employ

pericuce' meeting and is bound 20 be helpful
by its interchange Of IDEAS
My feeling is that the shipbuiders of
the United states will not succeed in the
task before them unless they have the thor
ough support Of the people of the United
states. for whom they are working. They
are in hard place. Their anticipated
profits have disappeared. They must be
paid for their work and the Fleet Corpora
ton intends that they shall make just
profit, but they cannot unless a proper feel
ing is fostered between them and their
workers. The builders themselves cannot
do this. for their advances might be sus-
pected No control can be established over
labor today which is not equally established
over capital. Therefore, unless we are
face to face with the drastic measures
which have been found necessary in other
countries we must produce the desired re-
suits by democratic support
VITAL TO VICTORY IN WAR
1T is the supreme duty of Chambers Of
Commerce. universities, young professional
men and every one to volunteer their serv-
ices to the shipyards and help them work
out their problem. This is absolutely es-
sential If the United States is to succeed in
the war

United States will be "A greater. grander.
