YOUNG SUICIDES
 ARE MANY IN JAPAN
(The Outlook. \

Accordin gto Rev. Sidney L. Gulich. who has lived long in the far east, suicides among Japanese students are probably more prevalent than among any other students in the world. The causes he mentions are: First. the high strung nerves and exceptional sensitiveness to anything that may be regarded as personal humiliation: and, second, the extraordinary com petition among students to secure places in the government schools,
 pr. Gulick also notes the three causes given by the Christian Litera- ture society, of which he is a member. namely, the struggle for existence, the handicap of poor physique, and the absence of an enlightened faith.
 As to student suicides due to fail ure in examinations, it may be noted that in Japan it is not easy to enter any schools. Of the boys 13 and IA years old who strive by competitive examinations to enter the middle schools, only 61 per cent. we learn. though intellectually qualified, are admitted. The rest are excluded for lack of room. In Tokio, the annual applicants for admission to the higher institutions are several times greater in number than can be admitted A year, ago more than 800 youths were refused admittance to the Doshisha, the only Christian university in Ja- pan, entirely because of lack of ac- commodations.
 It is interesting to compare the above with the statement that sui cides among German school children are widespread. This leads to the conclusion that these catastrophes. both in Japan and Germany, may be due to still another factor than those mentioned. namely, to the ingrained teaching of materialsm. If boys and girls are taught that material success is the measure of life, and do not achieve it., they naturally feel that life is failure.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 WELFARE WORK DONE
 IN 45 CAMPS IN J. $.

Christian Science camp welfare work IS now being carried on in 4o army ana navy camps in the United States under direction of the Christian Science War Relief and Camp Welfare committee of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. There are at present about 70 men and 15 women engaged in this work, and women serving mainly as welfare room attendants.
 Conducted at first independently. the camp welfare work has been merged with the war relief work which the Christian Scientists were doing in for eign countries before the United States entered the war. For both these pur- poses about one million dollars has been raised.
 The aim of the Christian Science camp workers is to be as helpful as possible to all the men in the camps. whether or not they are Christian Sci entists. and particularly to give as sistance which may not be available at the time or place through any of the other camp welfare agencies. A fea- ture of this phase of the work is an arrangement for keeping soldiers and sailors in close touch with their rela- tiveS.
 Quick Communication Cooperating with the committee ir Boston, there is Christian Science camp welfare committee in each state. The committee in the home state ot soldier or sailor co-Operates by mail and telegraph with the committee of the state in which he is camped or stationed to form direct and con- stant link between the soldier OI sailor and his relatives. Thereby tht relatives are quickly made acquainted with needs of their boy in the service, and he is provided with an avenue of quick communication with his home
 This linking of home and camp. com bined with the personal attention ol the Christian Science workers in the camps, has frequently been the means of changing a soldiers outlook from one of gloom to one of joy. and not i infrequently it has proved to be the means of relieving relatives of finan | cial embarrassment. the committee in i the home state making loans for use i by the relatives until their boy in camp should be prepared to forward money to them.
 ] The net result. for which the Chris i titan Science committees and camr i workers have received many common | :, l of the morale of many men in the i service and the development of a bet ter feeling at home regarding the par l ticipation of their boys in the service
 The camp workers say there is ar increasing willingness among the com manding officers and surgeons to al low Christian Science treatment fol those men who ask for it, and many Christian Science headings have beer recorded. Recently, two requests fol Christian Science services in hospita wards were received by camp workers from medical nurses who had observed the beneficial effects of Christian Sci ence treatment.
 In or near numerous camps, thu
 Christian Science committee hav' erected substantial buildings, witt quiet places for reading and writing and other buildings are in course O
 construction A light touring car ha
 been added to the equipment of tn
 Christian Science camp workers a
 each camp to be used wherever ant
 whenever possible in assisting tn
 men.

Double Bill at The Hip Today


 Two complete features grace the bill at the Hip today. Madge Ken nedy in a Goldwyn picture, The Serv- ice Star and Neal Hart in Naked Fists,' a smashing western melo- drama with reason. The Service Star" is timely, very novel, and is not a war picture. Just girl longing for the right to wear a service star pin. but who has no brother or sweetheart at the front. Then she does the thing that makes this yarn, she reads of the exploits of young chap on the fight ing line, and she announces that he is her husband, and she hangs out a service flag in the window, and if the mother of the supposed husband had not immediately taken up the pseudo wife and install her in the palatfal home. How this girl discovers that the young man around the house is none other than her adopted husband avoiding the draft, and how things tumble over one another as she theat- ems to expose him and his wealthy mother for their crime until suddenly this story takes the most unique twist and ends with some punch. Add to this Naked Fists" smashing melo- drama of the wild west. and a good Pathe News reel. and you have the sparkling week end bill at the Hip It remains for tomorrow.

NOrrldgewOck Candidate for Leglsla.
ture

To the Voters of Norridgewock, An
son, Starks, Embden and Concord. .
| am a candidate for representative
to the Legislature. The Representa-
tive will be elected at the general
state election, on September 8, next.
believe | am better qualified, in
these strenuous times of war to serve
the above named towns, for the fol
lowing reasons:
1st. IN NATIONAL AFFAIRS, l
stand for the deieat of Germany to a
fragile; for the permanent govern
ment ownership of railroads, tele-
graphs, telephones and cables; for the
right of women to vote and for the
drafting of corporations and of prop
erty as well as our boys, into the ser
vice of the country, in order to win
ment of our farms under the rural
credit law, being secretary of a Farm
Loan Association myself.
End. IN STATE AFFAIRS, I want
the state to take over and develop all
unused water powers and | want all
proper legislation for the care of de-
pendents of our soldiers and sailors,
wherever state aid is needed
3rd. IN DISTRICT AFFAIRS, |
want the ferries on the Sandy River
abolished and bridge built with
state aid. | want the state road to
be constructed from Madison through
Anson, North Arson and Embden to
the Solon bridge; because while the
state maintains a pork barrel as II
always has, and while representatives
from other towns carry home fat
slices, it is too bad for Norridgewock,
Anson, Starks, Embden and Concord
to be always tossed out thin belly
pieces or no pork at all.

AT LIBERTY. FOR ONE
BRIEF HOUR
Sheriff Goodrich Does Some Quick
Work

About $50 Monday evening, two
young women who had been allowed
brief liberty at the Women's Re
formatory, escaped to the woods to
the north of the building. Mr.. Wight
tracked them for about Is minutes
through the forest area, but found the
trail becoming obscure and concluded
he would not find them by that means.
Returning to the Reformatory build
ing, he notified Sheriff Goodrich of
what had happened Mr. Goodrich
reasoned that the young women would
not dare to pass the night in the
woods and would be pretty certain to
try to get back to town. He further
surmised that they would come in as
far as possible through the woods or
in the shade of the trees. Proceed
ing on this theory, and knowing the
direction from which they would be
likely to come, he took his station on
the plateau just to the west of Upper
Summer street, From this point, he
could see the approach to Coburn
avenue, Summer, Spring and Middle
streets. After about half an hours
wait, he saw two figures emerge from
the shadow of the trees and start
down Spring street toward Madison
avenue. He followed them as quiet
ly as possible, but they seemed to be
little alarmed and retreated to one
Of the dooryards. Still uncertain as
to whether they were the two parties
he was searching for, and not wish
ing to intercept the wrong people, he
passed down the street ahead Of them,
and then, taking advantage of an op-
portunity concealed himself behind
some trees. He had not been there
long before the two young women
came out and passed him, on the op-
pOsite side of the street however. A
little further on, they came to a street
light, and he was able to make out the
fact that they wore the Reformatory
uniform. The girls were running, by
this time, but he was able to overtake
them at Madison avenue. Girls
you may as we'll go back was his
salutation, and they made no further
attempt to escape. In less than two
hours after they left the Reformatory
they were safely back in the building
again.
This is the second attempt made by
these two young women to escape, but
in neither instance have they met with
any success Likewise futile have
been the few similar attempts of other
inmates.

proud to say that I belong to the 103rd
L. S Inf.
The morale of the Germans cap
tured is very low compared with our
men. A great many of them are boys
16 and II years of age.
In your first letter you mentioned
the Red Cross work The rumors
about soldiers having to buy these
articles are absolutely false as far as
know. Most every man in our regi-
ment has received at least one sweat
er and most of them two, to say moth
ing of socks and helmets. Some
times when there is a large amount
of things they are given to the quar-
termaster to issue to the companies,
but we are always told whether or
not it is given by the Red Cross or
a government issue
The Y. NJ. C. A. and Salvation Army
are both doing splendid work over
here. In every town near the lines
where there are any American troops
auartered, you will find huts of both
organizations One instance | would
like to mention especially. Two Y.
NJ. C. A. men had hut in large
building which was badly damaged by
Boche shell fire This building was
in a small town very near the line,
and during a heavy bombardment was
struck by large shell, burying every
thing under about ten feet of debris.
These two men who barely escaped
with their lives, could be seen half
hour later on the line in this terrific
bombardment, helping care for the
wounded. That is not all-the very
next day the Y. Nj. c. A. was estab-
lished again in the other end of the
same building with little more than
the walls standing. Hot tea was serv-
ed all night to men going on and
coming from the line. Who couldn't
respect these men and the good work
they are doing? l have had to stop
this letter three times to take it up
later You will perhaps notice the
different shades of ink used. While
write | can hear the booming of the
guns not far away and wonder how
the fellows on the line who relieved
us are making 1t, Give my regards
to all my Jackman friends Tell Dr.
