1t is pleasing to have ones work APP
preciated, and it is a fact that the news
papers helped with ready enthusiasm.
Owing to the patriotism of the banks,
he physicians, the lawyers and several
public spirited merchants, full page adj
vertisements appeared in nearly all the
papers of the country. We think these
men are entitled to some mention by loan
committees, and even by people higher
up. The government had plenty of money
for advertising by means of posters and
bill boards, but not cent for the news
papers. The citizens of the country who
made the newspaper advertising such a
great help did what the government
should have done.

WHY THEY SUBMIT.

We have been led to believe that the
people of Germany, as whole, were
highly educated people, but it now
seems that in this and in many other re-
spects we have been deceived. While it
is certainly true that Germany has ex-
cellent schools, and universities second
to none in the world, it is also true that
the masses are ignorant. Both mentally
and socially the people of that country
are stratified, mainly into two divisions,
the upper and the lower, with but few
intermediate classes. In the first named
strata we find the educated, ruling,
iunker part of the people, who have al
ways kept the lower strata in ignorance
and made them "the human dice with
which the lords of earth do play the
game of BATTLE So arrogant has Kuitur
become that it is now an open part OF Its
political creed, that ruling the masses IS
vastly easier if they are kept in igno-
rance. They reduce them to the stolld
submissiveness of oxen and drive them
as they will. This is why there is no up
rising in Germany. The people fear their
masters
The Republican journal., 1918-10-31

England interferred with affairs in Mic
aragua. This affair nearly led to war
but after considerable negotiations the
CLAYTON BulWer treaty was made. Only
two years later, England and France
wanted the United States to join in
treaty guaranteeing Cuba to Spain. The
Monroe Doctrine said no. This doctrine
was invoked again when Napoleon tried
to establish an empire in Mexico. Again
in 1864, when Spain seized the Chincha
islands belonging to Peru. President
Grant asserted it in 1870 when he asked
for authority to purchase San Domingo.
Almost everybody shouted for it in 1879
when foreign enterprise was launched,
having for its object the digging of what
was known as the Lesseps canal across
the isthmus of Darien. Concerning this
project Mr. Blaine said, in substance.
that foreigners might dig the canal but
would not be allowed to police or defend
it with soldiers, as this was not allowable
under the Monroe Doctrine.
In 1902, England, Italy and Germany
threatened to invade Venezula for the
purpose of collecting certain disputed
debts. At the earnest request of Presl-
dent Roosevelt, England and Italy agreed
to arbitrate, but Germany refused and
insisted that she would land troops and
hold territory. President Roosevelt told
Won Holleben. the German minister, that
if Germany refused to settle by arbitra-
ton he would order Dewey to sail with
the American fleet to prevent the landing.
Won Hollenben said: "Mr. President, this
means war; Mr.. Roosevelt replied:
Eyes, if your government lands troops it
means war, and if your country does not
consent to arbitrate Dewey will sail in
two days" Thirty-slx hours later Won
Holeben called on the President to say
that Germany yielded. Strange to say
the friendship which for years existed
between Mr.. Roosevelt and the Kaiser
developed and grew from that hour.
Today, despite its age, the Monroe
Doctrine is stronger than ever. Germany
is now known to have had rapacious and
hostile intent against the United States
as long ago as when the Holy Alliance
was formed. Size is now finding out that
Hands Off" applies not only to lands in
the Western Hemisphere but to Ameri
can citizens on the high seas. We are
of what the Monroe Doctrine really is,
1t is true that they have not invaded
lands protected by this doctrine but we
are proceeding to apply it in the belief
that an ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure.

"Welcome! Come In.'

This is the greeting, in red, white and
blue, in window of a six-room teneme mt
in Auburn. On the table are magazines,
Union Signals" and CRUSADERS" and
story leaflets for the children. There is
an organ. There are pictures and posters,
and the French and American flags.
Here is real work among foreigners. and
Mrs. Nellie E. Fellows, State Supt of
Americanization, tells the story in the
Union Signal. Her first callers were
Hebrew children, who were invited TO
come again and sew for the war orphans,
sing, read stories, etc. Thirty-five re-
sponded to the invitation, but as few
could sew very well, they were given
patchwork with which to make quilt
for Belgian children. The little folks are
now SO interested they are 10th to stop
when five o'clock comes. Some of them
knit, and alternate afternoons are given
to work, and to temperance and patriotic
exercises. The wise use of food, the
the use of coal by breweries, are part of
the teaching. The children all know
what the Loyal Temperance Legion
means. To bring about better under
standing, Mrs Fellows had friendly
talk with the Hebrew priest, which
helped the work. A Jewish rabbi now
uses part of her rooms for his school of
small children. The French priest will
form another Legion if French teacher
can be secured.
Mrs. Fellows has also aided the Y. w.
C. A. in its work among Greeks, French.
Albanians, Syrians, Polish and Lithuan-
ians. Being a nurse, she has visited
some of the young mothers with kindly
suggestions in caring for their own and
their baby's health. These little foreign
children may be uncouth, but they are
bright, and capable of learning rapidly,
and should be taught patriotism while
young. Mrs Fellows expects to organ
ize a "hospital brigade" and give the
boys and girls "first aid" instruction.
Which is better, to let the foreigner
alone, SO that he stays foreign, or to help
him to become a good American? Shall
he find his friends only among the lg-
norant and vicious, or shall the way be
made plain for him to become worthy
citizens, who will help "keep democracy
safe? Who will help? E. +. M.

A WORD WITH WOMEN,
Valuable Advice for Belfast Readers.

ISs
Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of backache,
pains about the hips, blue, nervous spells,
dizziness and urinary disorders, hopeless
of relief because she doesn't know what
is the matter.
1t is not true that every pain in the
back or hips is trouble peculiar to the
SEX" Often when the kidneys get con-
gested and inflamed, such aches and pains
follow.
Then help the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They are
endorsed at home. Read this Belfast
woman's convincing statement:
Mrs. H. w. Healey, Is Miller street,
says: "About two years ago suffered
pretty bad with my back. My back was
SO lame I couldn't sweep the floor or do
my Homework and often had to 60 to
bed with sick headaches. l knew my
kidneys were disordered and bought
Doan's Kidney Pills at A. A. Howes &
Co. g Drug Store. In short time got
relief and after taking four boxes of this
medicine l was cured. Since then, have
felt like different person"

Crowell, man of whom we have heard
very little. We think, however, that he
is business man not prone to loquacity.

supply for thirty-six divisions is being

square yards of burlap, 1900, 900 square

quantities of lumber have been bought
