Nj - ELS FOR FOOD.
Immense Possibilities for New Bust-
ness ON Maine Coast.

Immense Possibilities for New Bush
ness ON Maine Coast.
The government 3fish commissioners
have during the past summer been inves-
tigating the great mussel beds along the
Maine coast as a source of food supply,
opening up the possibilities OF an immense
business. The mussel is very important
item in the food supply of many Europesn
countries.
All the. hsrbors and creeks along the
Maine coast have been inspected, immense
mussel beds fit for food being found at all
the points visited, thelmonetsry value OF
the same being.estimsted at many millions
of dollars.
So satisfied is the bureau at the success
Of the Investigation, that it has already
made arrangements with several canning
esta blishments on the coast to put the
mussels on the market, and in few
weeks they will be offered Itor sale, put up
in different ways, in cans with their own
liquor, also smoked and dried.

Maine In Next Congress.

Discussing prospective changes in COM
mitteeships in the next Congress, Wash
ington press correspondent says:
awhile it is early toIpredict with GER
tsinty what changes there. will be when
the new Congress organizes 10 1919 the
capitol il filled with.speculation. 1t will
mean q complete shift in chsirmanships
OF all the important committees OF both
House and Senate. This interests Maine
very much, for with full republican
delegation in Congress there twill be
mum Der OF chsirmanships for the State.
'sOn the other hand, it is hardly to be ex-
pected that any Of the big places will go to
Maine men. There is onetexception to this
Congressman Peters of the third Maine
district, ranking member of the deiegs-
ton from his State sndsa member OF the
House of Representatives since 1918 may
get some big place.
"Mr. Peters has but one committee as
signment, naval affairs. On that icom-
mittee, however, ne is ranked by four re-
publican members. While Mr.. Peters has
taken great interest in the labors OF this
anu HAS ~Ou
place in the estimation OF his associates,
it is doubtful il he will be given the
Craftsmanship of naval affairs, tbut lmay
get the place.
THE standing which this Maine con-
gresham has with his fellow republicans
is well shown by his election to. be one of
the House committee to visit,i the past
Summer, the battle front IN Europe.
'sThe number of chairmsnships IN the
House are not sufficient to give all mem
beEs place. For this reason, in view OF
the fact that other than Mr.. Peters, Maine
has no member of the House who has
served in more than one Congress, it is
doubtful if she will get more than one,
possibly two, chairmanshIps in that
branch, and she may not get any. Full
application of the seniority rule, which is
usually observed in arranging committees,
would probably work out to this latter
result"

entangling alliances, we shall have
much to be thank nj for.
And what have we gained? A new
nationalism, an awakened patriotism,
a new appreciation OF the greatness
of our country, new love for its flag;
we have put on the sea a great mer-
chant fleet, and wise legislation will
keep it there; we have learned a new
word, thrift, and substituted it for
extravaganza; we have felt the
ennobling influence of self-sacrifice,
anc gained broader religion of
humanity and brotherly love.
To. day we are thankful that The
var is over; that our boys over there
who will engage now in police duty
and reconstruction work, are spared
the horrors of further bloodshed. To
those who have paid the supreme
price that we might see this day. and
to those fathers and noIners Whose
sons will not come DICK, the world
bows to day in homage and in thanks.

Peace.

The greatest war of all ages is over.
A titanic struggle that has convulsed
the world, involved all the great
nations of the earth and changed the
map of Europe and Africa, ended at
o'clock Monday morning, Washing
ton time.
1t has been a war between democ
racy and auLocracy; a war between
great military powers that sought to
dominate the world, and free peoples
who would not submit to such domi-
nation. Autoeracy has been crushed,
and new democr acies arise. William
II of Germany is fugitive in Holland,
and Germany is in the hands Of the
people; Charles of Austria has been
stripped of power, and Austria-Hun-
gary is disintegrating; Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, who joined forces with the
Teuuopic powers, has fed from his
country. and Mohammed V Of Turkey
is dead at the hands of an assassin.
Peace terms have not yet been
made. Technically, we are still at
war. The signing of an armistice
merely means that we have agreed to
a cessation of hostilities until peace
terms can be offered, and accepted or
rejected. But the terms of the armis-
tice accepted by Germany amount to
complete surrender. Stripped of
military and naval power, forced to
evacuate all the territory she had
invaded in Russia, in the Balkans, in
Belgium and in France, compelled to
abrogate the unholy treaties she
forced upon Russia and Roumania,
deprived forever, let us hope, of her
blood-stained colonies, and submit
ting to military control of her Rhenish
defenses by the allies, Germany is
powerless to resume hostilities if she
would, and must accept such peace
terms as the victorious allies impose.
Some regret is expressed that Ger
many has not suffered in kind for the
devastation of Belgium and northern
France, but further destruction of
property would not pay for any part
of the destruction her worId-lust has
caused, and Germany must pay.
And what of William Hohenzollern,
the chief conspirator of this gang Of
murderers? He has sought tempo
rary refuge in Holland, but retribu-
ton must overtake him, and all his
unholy brood.
A long period of REIMBURSEMENT must
follow the war, and the United States
must of necessity now play an i'm
portant part in European politics an6
the settlement of momentous ques
tions on which the future peace Of
the world may depend. We can play
this part In the same spirit in which
we entered the war, not animated by
greed for territorial gain, or by jeal-
ousy or fear of near neighbors, but
as . disinterested party seeking
future peace In the family of nations
and the rights OF people to govern
themselves. II We escape without
