"MADE IN GERMANY"

The sinking of the hospital ship Rewa
is the latest specimen of "made in Ger
many cussedness that outrivals the in
fernal regions. OF all the acts of DELHI
crate deviltry inspired by Prussianism
for use in warfare, the deliberate torpe-
doing of this hospital ship is about the
worst specimen thus far witnessed by
the world 1t was in deliberate violation
Of the German governments pledge, as
have been many others since the declara-
ton of war Germany's pledge in this
case was again only scrap OF paper, I"
and if the world needed any other re-
minder that the government of Germany
is wholly beyond the pale of trust, this
instance furnishes it.
According to arrangement and custom,
the hospital ship had lighted up at dusk,
in order to avoid any possibility of being
mistaken for troop ship or merchant
ship, yet out of the darkness sped the
torpedo with precision, and the hospital
ship was instantly in darkness, confusion
and terror The explosion had destroyed
the lighting apparatus, killing three MEM
bers of the crew, but before the ReWa
sank, all of the patients and other mem
bers of the crew got safely away IN boats,
many of them without clothing IN
piercing wind, to remain for hours before
they were picked up.-kennebec Journal

State Guard we'll differed, drilled and
equipped at State expense, whom | shall
be glad at your request to call Tor service
within the commonwealth to guard water
fronts, alien enemy zones and for similar
service, provided the war department
will provide for them the same pay, al
lowances and protection as would be
given to federal troops performing the
same service"
The Third Maine Regiment is now
being raised to meet any State or nation
al emergency which may arise in Maine.
The men of the State realize that home
guard may be needed and are rapidly fill
ing up the ranks
