Japan is insistent in denying that
she has made terms that virtually
give her protective control over
China, but that it is only an entente
for mutual defense. We are glad to
see these two nations unite against
the common enemy of themselves
and the rest of the world, but Just
the same the two are so tied up as
to present great temptation to the
mikado's government to draw the
strings little tighter as they go
along.

We had understood that this was

The most lamentable thing about
the German ''drNos," outside Of the
loss Of human lives, is the blasting
of fertile farm, lands and the dispos-
session of prosperous and indus
trious population. The Hun will be

years to restore the lands over which
they have trodden with sacrilegious
feet.

Draft VIII Call 1877 Oxford Men.

According to the figures announced
Wednesday by Adjutant General George
Mol. Prssson, provost marshal OF Maine,
the call for 1914 men from Maine for the
national army will mean 1877 men to be
furnished by the Oxford County board.
This number is considerably larger than
the estimate made by the Democrat last
week. The Democrats estimate was
based on population, as has been the
case In the two preceding calls. But 1t
appears that In this call allowance for
snlistments has been made, 80 that Cum
berland County 10 not called upon for
any men at this time. and the quota is
reduced In some other counties. This
accounts for the number In the Oxford
County quota.
These men will be called so as to leave
here for camp on the Goth Of May, but
the list of them can not yet be given.
