The Big Thing.

It has been asked what is 'the Big
Thing that Americans should concentrate
upon at this time" 1t is question of
deep import. But the answer must be
simple, almost commonplace. 1t is: Their
duty to the world.
Just what that duty is, each must dis
cover for himself. Some will find it
readily. Others must search for it.
What it is not, is perhaps easiest to de-
eide. Certainly it is not prating about
"Old Glory" nor declaiming about the
greatness and invincibility of Goods
Country" Let us forget for a space
say, for the duration of the war-that our
country is great, even that our flag is
beautiful Some other countries are
great. Some other flags are beautifully
Then let us get to work, and do some
thing. And let US not leave that some
thing to the French or to the British or to
George or to any one else to do; but let
us do it ourselves. Some of us can light;
some can mine coal; some can knit; some
can buy Liberty Bonds; nearly all can buy
Thrift Stamps. All-even the little chill
dren-can observe meatless Tuesday,
wheatless Wednesday and porkless Sat-
urday. Most of US could do more than
we are doing.
When we have done the obvious thing,
then we must search out the less obvious,
and do that as we'll. And let US do 1T
cheerfully. There is no martyrdom about
it, We are doing it for our own good.
That is the selfish way of looking at It,
The better way, however, the way that
makes the doing of it Joy, is to think
that we are acting not merely for our
selves, not merely for our country, not
merely for our allies, but for the whole
world. Then we see that, though per-
haps seeming little thing it is really, If
it be our all, Big Thing, because it is
well wrought link in the great and I'm
breakable chain that owes its strength to
the strength of its several links.

SHE CHANGED HER MIND.

A cow moose, unsullied and unsophisti-
Gated in the ways of city life, came out
of the woods Thursday and started to
walk into the heart of Bangor by way of
the Essex road. But she changed her
mind. She exercised the prerogatlve
that for centuries the female of the
species has claimed as her own. In fact,
she walked right in and she turned around
and walked right out again
This COW moose was first spotted (per-
haps it would be better to say "seen" !;
she wasn't really spotted near the resi-
dence of Charles circuit. Very slowly
and maiestically she elevated her hoofs,
one by one, and stepped over the high
fence in the Hughes cemetery and paused
there for brief space to commune with
the dead In a few minutes she started
down the road for the city, but ere long

NEVER BEFORE.

A sight never before witnessed in Port
land harbor is that of foreign steamer
Ia Danish craft, dischargirg a cargo of
domestic coal at the Maine Central pock-
cts. This is made possible by the recent
change in the navigation laws by which
foreign vessels are permitted to engage in
United States coastwise trade for the
period of the war, traffic from which
they had previously been barred. The
steamer had cargo of about 5000 tons
of coal, and it is reported that several
other similar cargoes may be expected
there shortly in foreign bottoms, but few
American steamers being open to charter,
sailing vessels also being hard to obtain.

More submarines were destroyed by

December than Germany was able to
build during that month, according to in
formation reaching Washington. Whether
succeeding months have shown net loss
in German submarines is not known here
1t is believed, however, that the anti
