Islesboro Roosevelt hour"
Thoughts from the Address.
This is my first visit to the beautiful
coast of Maine, but l have made many
visits to Aroostook and your large cities.
l have always looked to Maine people for
leadership and found them ready to re-
spond to their country's call. I have
come here today to speak to you, men
and women, upon the duties incumbent
upon US in this great world crisis through
which we are passing. With the Nation
and the individual there are certain
periods when they decide by their own
actions whether they are to hold their
heads high or 60 through life and never
be able to look anyone in the eye.
1t depends on us now what our future
shall be. Our nation must make good.
1t can give no reasonable excuse at the
bar of destiny for the individual who .loes
not do his part now. It is not time to
be dead weight in the boat, all must
pull their own weight. The decision
stands with the men at the front, fighting
in the Navy, the destroyers, the Army,
the air, the infantry, the artillery, the
engineers. It is for them to do the trick
and for us to back them up to the last
degree.
There is not a man of fighting age,
physically fit, whose place is not in the

giving their lives because they have put
the nation ahead of life itself. Our sons
and brothers are at the front-some of
them will never come back. Some of
them will come home and it is up to US to
make this country little bit better for
them when they do come. It is the time
for us to live up to principles to put our
heart feelings into action. After the war
there will be industrial troubles, strains
on our citizenship, great stress and suffer-
ing. We must profit by Russia's expert
ence. Let US make plain path between
the Romanoffs and Bolshevikis of our
own country. 1t is useless for us to at
tempt reform until we are the reformers
and not the men in spiked helmets, until
the seas are safe for our commerce once
more.
Let the pacifists look at China, but does
anyone love a Chinaman2 When this
country has had anything to settle with
China, she has dealt with Japan or Rus
sia, or England or Germany, yet there
are people who would like to append pig
tail on Uncle Sam.
We are going to put this war through
or settle it. We want our army to be
the largest and the best. We should
stand by our public servants only as they
stand by the nation. Perhaps this war
will be settled in Berlin, but we will not
have it settled unless we settle it in Berlin
ourselves.

the applause of the enthusiastic throng

MODERN DRYDOCKS

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 25.-Recog-
mixing the need OF drydocks for tax
ing care Of Americas great merchant
marine, the Emergency Fleet Corpora
ton Is going to have constructed ten
or more drydocks OF the latest type
and OF capacity sufficient to aceommo-
date the largest cargo carriers afloat
According to Charles PieE, vice
president OF the corporation, this Is
not merely being considered, but
actually is going to be done. He said
Philadelphia will have two or more
OF the docks. which will add to the
Importance Of this city as q great
woild port.
The docks will have a capacity OF
from ten to twenty or more tons. The
wings will be built OF steel and the
pontoons Of pine wood.
Each pontoon win be ITO feet long,
and the number OF pontoons used in
each dock will be regulated by the
size OF the dock
All details of construction have
not been worked out pet, but Mr.. Piez
said the different sections would be
built where the material Is most
available, keeping in view the cost Of
transportation. The pontoons, he said.
will be constructed In the South,
where the lumber Is available, and
on their completion be floated to the
point Of fabricating or assembling.

it would greatly benefit the Capital, not
only from a health standpoint but also
from a traffic standpoint 1t would re-

DR.. NJ. +. HARRISON, Of the Public
Health Service, today advised that
fifteen minute rest periods continue.
Thousands of people in Washington
sit at one desk the whole day." DR..
HARRISON said. These people need
fresh air and the releasing them for
efteen minutes twice each day would
be beneficial to their health. am
strongly in favor of its continuance"
Officials today announced that the
plan of rearranging the lunch hours
OF Government workers to reduce the
congestion in lunch rooms has been
abandoned.
The plan that was under considera-
ton was to release some workers at
IL o'clock. and others, at 1I:3o, noon,
1890 and /, instead OF releasing all at
the same time. Health officials today
announced that this proposed rear
rangement is not necessary, and that
the "stagger" lunch hours probably
would meet with much objection on
the part of the Government workers.
