does not intend to admit that his drive
for the Channel ports has failed until
he has made another desperate ATTEMPT
to smash his way through the British
lines
Nor can we agree with this friend
of the press. The failure Of the enc

to smash through. but in his recog-
milton, lin army. royal castle and

he is prevented from going through
to the coast by his own lack Of trans
portation and equipment, notably
horses. even If he could beat back the
allies: and that the Prussian war
master. have played their trump
card and lost.
The Teuton forces. from KAISER
down, undoubtedly felt confident at
the beginning Of the drive that they
could 20 through to Paris or 10 the
Channel. or both. And while the war
masters knew that accomplishment
would not end the war, they were
aware of its certain effect upon the
people of Germany and Austria. They

thing they might demand OF the peo-
pie, If that promise had been full
filed. 1t would not be victory, but II
would LOOK like victory, at home.
They have FAILED, after weeks OF
such slaughter as war has never
known-snd tho people kno" il.
They advertised a trump card
and world dominion or downfall.
The trump has not taken a single
trick that was worth one days sacri-
Ace Of German life. 1t has taken
only devastated territory that had be-

"World dominion" from the master

realize it now. What, then, is the re-

Downfall" Of course. as advertised
not Of Germany as a ma

brutalism, Kulturism. terrorism;
downfall of a group of wholesale
murderers, swindlers, contract break
ers, defilers Of their own nationa!
morality, and despoilers of neighbors'
destroyers Of art and sacred places
for distinctions sake; downfall OF an
oligarchy that has overriden central
Europe and held the rest in fear for
a generation.
Now we know that the Hindenburg
drive has failed, even If he reaches
the Channel ports. for the German
people are realizing the cost and
what is NOR, they are realizing that
the German army has bied itself

every hour grow in strength from
now to the end Of the war, II it be

The following extract is
from a speech by an advo-
cate of State ownership.
because private capital
is unwilling and afraid to
develop our water powers
in Maine, shall we be de-
MED the benefit of all this
great natural resource On
account of some people
fearing public ownership?
Must we wait for private
capital to develop these
powers, private capital
which has developed less
than 1000 h. p. per year
for the last seven years."
The same party on an
other occasion said:
"True conservation means
immediate development *
$ s. * corporations who
control the situation say
that there is no market in
Maine for more electric
power * * so you
see, gentlemen, that any
prospect of such corpora
lions developing our water
powers for Maine people
is out of the question"

Water Powers
In Maine

wears tnpre Has OSS"
pleted the great Aziscohos
Dam en- the Magalloway
River, which stores up
nine and one-half billion
cubic feet of water, there
by increasing the mimi
mum flow of the Andres
coggin River more than
100 per cent. The cost OF
this development was ST.
100000.
On the West Branch of
the PenobscOt River, the
great Ripogenus Dam has
been built which impounds
the enormous quantity of
twenty-five billion cubic
feet of water and which
has added wonderfully to
the efficiency of all water
YBYH
powers on that river. The
cost of this improvement
was more than S1,000,00O.
These two developments
will generate when needed
more than 10000 horse
power.
At Rumford Falls, there
is being developed added
power to the amount of
$4,000 h. p. and at a cost
of over S1,O00,000.
On the Ssco River, dur
ing this period there has
been completed two of the
largest water power de-
velopments on the river,
namely, at Bonney Eagle
and at Hiram, where the
present installment of wa
ter wheels equals $4,000
h. p. and with a reserve
when needed of 1000 h. p.
at a cost of S2,000,00O.
At Grand Falls, on the
St. Croix River, there has
been developed by the
st. Croix Paper Company
5000 h. p. with an added
reserve capacity of 1000
h. p. The expenditure at
this development was more
than S1,O00,000.
The Central Maine Pow
er Company is developing
at Oakland 5000 h. p. and
during the past seven
years has expended 49,
100000 in increasing the
capacity and the efficiency
of it's plants.
The Portland and Lew
listen Interurban Railroad,
in order to use the surplus
power of the AndroscOg-
gin Electric Company, was
built and put in operation
during the past seven
years at a cost of more
than S1,000,O00.
Here IS a total cf more than
10000 h. o. which has been de-
veIoped during the past seven
years; one half CT this period has
been the war period. But for
war conditions there would have
been developed another large
power on the Androscoaain,
namely; that at CIark's Rips,
where the surveys and plans
have all been completed for de.
ve!opins $4,000 h. p. and which
power will be developed as soon
as normal conditions obtain.
Do these facts show unwilling
ness or tinidity on the part Of
water power owners to develop
Maine water powers? Where has
greater enterprise been shown
than the grand Developments Of
Runford Falls, MifIinoeket and
in central Maine and in what oar.
tieular could the State Of Mains
hope to equal such development?
What have the promoters Of the
scheme to develop power by the
State to offer?

\ pain from poisoned Hun candy? For
those other children slowly starved TO
death in Poland or massacred in AR

We do not lack for toys; toys by
trainloads made in American factories
| by hands which are clean; toys also by
carloads made by our ally in Japan
where childhood is sacred. and love
not hate, is taught
Toys? Toys made by Huns to
whom innocence and childhood are
but toys to be PLAYED with and then
crushed end broken? Toys whose
very contact contaminates-and leaves
upon the touch of habyhood invisible
