Nowhere along the eighty mile

to drive through between Wulverghem
and Meteren have the Germans met
with fanything put repulse and the
price they have paid for their attempts
to breach the British line has been
enormous. ON no sector have they
been able to surmount the stone wall

least there seems to be justification
for hope that the turn in tho tide Of
the battle is at hand

separating the British and French

SCRAP OF PAPER
IS SAVED IN GERMANY
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence,

New York, April 14-Germany has
been forced by her tense economic
situation to avoid the waste of any
material that may be utilized for in
dustriai purposes. This is reflected in
an order issued by the commandant of
Berlin under which any person who
throws away scraps Of paper, news
papers, books and cardboard is liable
to a fine of one hundred marks or
Imprisonment
The order, according to German
newspapers received here, was due
to the fact that there had been a great
waste of paper and cardboard which il
collected could have been used for the
production of raw material.

Quite Probable

Germany is losing her morale She
has been fed for SO long on falsehoods
that at last she is "fed up" She was
told that they would reach Paris in IA
days; but they didn't. She was told that
Verdun would end the war by putting
France out of commission before Eng
land could get ready; but it didn't.
When all else failed she was assured by
the Kaiser, by Hindenburg and by Tir-
pitz, each solemnly laying his hand upon
his wishbone and splitting three times to
make it certain, that the submarine would
starve England into submission in three
months. Did it do it? What did it do?
1t sealed Germany's doom beyond any
possibility of hope, for it brought Ameri-
ca into the war. Verify, "whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad. :"

Ice Conditions.

The government ice breaker Favorite,
a powerful ocean going craft, cut and
broke a thirty foot channel to the wharf
of the Eastern Steamship Company Sum-
day morning to liberate the East Hamp-
ton, which had previously cut her own
way from the beach, where she had been
repairing, to the head of the wharf. The
Favorite is built of steel and with her
bow coming up over the ice she made
rush plunging into the eight-inch ice of
the old channel scattering cakes from
four to six feet square as easily as she
would cut waves. The roar of the con
cussion sounded like distant thunder and
a large crowd of people went to the shore
to enjoy the unusual sight She turned
around at the wharf displacing a large
amount of ice Both steamers went to
Rockland Sunday forenoon. An empty
barge at the Coe-M Mortimer dock is the
only shipping in port. The Peiepscot
will not be needed here by her owners
and after repairs are completed at Cam
den if ice conditions warrant she will go
to New York The channel cut Sunday
morning had several inches of solid ice
the next morning, demonstrating the fact
that it is useless to try to keep it OPEN
c.. w. Wescott, president of the Board
of Trade, says they will call upon the
government to cut channel for the coal
barges due here, when they reach the
lower harbor.

started to provide food for them. The
only clear water on the bay is small
strip near Lincolnville, where large
number of ducks have collected. Sports

The Third Maine Regiment.

Examinations for members of the Bel
fast Company of the Third Maine Regi-
ment are still in progress, but they are
now given by DR.. Carl H. Stevens, who
was recently appointed the examining
surgeon with the rank of First Lieuten-
ant. During the week he has passed
upon a number who desire admission to
the service.
While it has been generally reported
since this movement was started to Or
ganize this Company here, that they
would be called Immediately into the ser
vice and might have to 60 across, Sec1e-
tary Baker in a recent dispatch from
Washington says that the policy of the
War Department toward National Guard
organizations, such as the Third Maine
Regiment, will be to refrain from calling
them into service, even after they have
attained the state of preparedness re-
quired by department regulations and
have been recognized by the militia
bureau.
Two companies have already been
formed in Portland and one in Bangor
which have passed the inspection of the
United States Army officers and are al
ready in service in the State of Maine.
Others will be organized within short
time and while Belfast is little slow she
will later have a company. The recent
new rulings for the examination of men
which has been issued will offer more
men to this company, for a number who
took the examination some two weeks
ago will have the opportunity for re-eX-
aminations and that will increase the
number materially. While the plans
have not yet been perfected, it is ex-
pected that there will be public meet
ing in this city at some date next week,
when there will be number of speakers
and some of the State officers will be
present.
Men interested in this company, which
notwithstanding other reports, is intend
ed for State of Maine service, should
make application to Orrin j. Dickey, the
Recruiting Officer for this locality. Both
Secretary Baker of the War Department
and Adjutant General Presson of Maine
have stated that the. Company is not in
tended for service out of the State.

caused more by economic conditions than
it will by the direct action of armies of
soldiers. It will be blessing if it does
stop before too many Americans breathe

quently happens that the official report
simply states wounded" or missing"
In addition to this report this bureau will
attempt to get reliable information as to
the party that is wounded or missing 1t
will also take charge of any personal let
ters or messages which friends desire to
send to the sick or missing. This bureau
has access to the list of prisoners that
cases of impris onment the bureau reports
to the relatives, after which the case is
referred to the American Prisoners Relief.
Another source of comfort is found in the
fact that the American Red Cross Com
mittee in Berne is arranging to provide
each American prisoner every two weeks
with three ten pound food packages. A
sufficient quantity of supplies are on the
way to Switzerland to care for 10000
American prisoners for a period of 6
months. The Red Cross is certainly
doing everything it can to relieve the
physical suffering on the part of the SOL
dier and the mental suffering on the part
of their friends. Yours very truly,
