North and South Carolina. who during
President Mckinleys administration was

son, Commissioner L. D. Bristol of the
Maine health department, at his summer
cottage at Lakeside. on Lake Cobbossee-
contee. Bishop Bristol has a national
reputation as a preacher, lecturer and
writer and when asked his views on the
four leading topics Of the hour he replied
AZ follows:
The war-"It is the worlds democracy
against brute militarism. the fiction OF
the Divine right of kings and insoience
of oppressive autocracy. Democracy will
win. The people will come out Of the
world war universally triumphant and
sovereign. With the rest of the world
the German people and the Austrians will
be free The days of the Hapsburgs and
Hohenzollerns are numbered"
Union labor-"I believe in union labor,
but only insofar as 1t does not obstruct
prosperity, enslave and domineer the In
dividuaI. and become oppressive to labor
itself. Labor should have a moro gen.
erous reward In It's partnership with cap
ital.'
Woman suffrage-"By all means. yes
Nv al, the first principles Of iustive and
democracy. let the women have every po-
liticai right granted 70 and enjoyed BY
man.

REGlMENTAL FUND
NEEDED BY 1O3RD

! Portland. Me, Sept. 2.--Editor Far.
ry M. Bigelow Of the Portland Daily
Press, former National Guard officer.
was among the visitors Sunday a.
Camp Bartlett, Westfield. He was
strongly impressed with the fine con.
dition Of the Maine Guardsmen in.
cluded in the consolidated 103rd Regi.
ment of Maine and New Hampshire
troops.
The strong need Of a regimental fund
for the 103rd was a feature which an.
pealed to Mr. Bgelow and in regard
to which he believes that the friends
OF the regiment should Immediately
agltate, In order that the Maine bows
may derive the benefit from it at once.
Quick action is necessary" stated
Mr.. Bigelow tonight. "as it is generally
believed that it will be only a very
short time before the boys will be on
their way to France. The Massachu.
setts regiments have regimental funds
provided by the State with which con.
Veniences and some luxuries NAV be-
secured without the red tape which
would be necessary to procure them
III any other way. At present the Sec.
ono Regiment has no such fund the
fund given to it when the regiment
went to the Mexican border having
been used in the purchase of water
Barrels, which actually prevented
many Of the boys from dying of thirst.
i am convinced that something
ought to be done in establishing a regi-
mental fund and we will do what W.
can IN Portland, although few, if any,
Oh the boys Of the regiment come from
our section and l am sure that those
from other parts of the State will do
more said Mr.. Bigelow. "Contribu-
tions for such a fund should be sent
directly and Immediately to Capt
Drake, Adjutant of the Consolidated
lU9rd Regiment at Camp Bartlett,
Westfield, Mass.

About 100 German seamen we're
