ANGRY At BEING DISTURBED
Old Gentleman Vastly More Annoyed
at Constable Than He Was at Hun
Air Raiders.

"He wasn't half angry" said con-
stable to me, smiling reminiscently as
he cast his eye over what remained
mostly top story only-of an old-fash-
toned house which had suffered in q
recent air raid. "You should have
heard his languagew
SPURIOUS thing" said, "the top floor
doesn't appear to be touched"
Eyes, that's where he was," said the
constable. "Of course, we thought he
was a casualty. We cleared away the
rubbish, and somehow or other got up
to his rooms with an ambulance and
the doctor. The door was closed, SO we
started prying it open. That's when
the fun started.
"The door was flung open, and there
stood the old gentleman with a big
book in his hands, his specs on, and
in proper temper. Just caught q
glimpse Of cosy armchair drawn up
to a blazing fire.
"'What the - does this mean !?
he says. Haven't I been disturbed
enough this evening? Get out of it.
all of YOU And without troubling to
shut his door, he went back and sat
down with his book beside the fire
muttering most awful. 1t gave me
the biggest shock of the raid."-Lon'
don Mail.

WAR BEGAN IN APRIL, 1918
Huge War Credit Was in That Year
Voted In Germany and Supported
by Socialists.

When did the war begin? April,
1913; not August, 1914, as the press
always has it, writes Charles Edward
Russell in Harper's. The real declara-
ton Of war was made by the German
reichstag when it struck observing
Europe dumb and chill by passing, an
extraordinary war credit Of 5O,OOO,-
600; and to that act Of belligerency in
time Of profound peace the socialists
in the reichstag gave practically their
support.
All men in the world accustomed to
make upon the days news an intelli-
gent diagnosis must have gasped and
stared at this portent. Unless Ger.
many deliberately planned now to
bring down upon mankind the war her
armament had silently threatened these
many years, there was no good reason
for this perilous saber rafting; GER
tainly none appeared in the state Of
Europe Yet the socialists seemed to
be for it.; that was the Incompetent.
sible fact.
August Bebel, then still active, was
the ablest and most famous of their
leaders, and criticism from many lands
seemed to goad him into a defense.
It was Of nature to chill the last
hope in any friend Of peace. Two
reasons he gave for the reichstag's
action. One was that President Poin-
care Of France, who had been but new.
" elected, was a warlike and danger.
Gus man, and no one could tell to what
lengths he might go. The other was
that in the Balkan wars the Turks,
taught by German officers, had been
beaten by the Serbians, taught by
French.
The judicious might grieve indeed
when they came upon such an offering
from such a source, ana anybody able
to read might see that war was close
at hand.

Insects That Have Food Value.

Among insects which have been and
are considered Of gastronomic value
are caterpillars, moths, a favorite in
some parts of Africa; the pupae of
the silkworm in China; ants, alive and
roasted, are appreciated in Burmah, as
well as by the Indians Of North and
South America, while 1t is said the
lumbermen Of Maine enjoy an occa-
sional meal Of large wood ants. The
beetle is eaten in the Nile valley, in
Turkey. Lombardy. Java, Peru, and il
said to be nutritious and fattening. In
Central America the eggs of three
aquatic bugs are made into little
cakes and eaten. Mexicans make q
strong drink by infusing tiger beetle
In alcohol.

Between 1878 and 1898, when the
Spanish-American war broke out, there
were only twelve instances in which
the torpedo had been used in actual
warfare. The Russo-Japanese war in
1904 afforded many opportunities for
the use Of this deadly weapon Of de-
struction, and Whitehead's invention
caused great havoc. The combination
Of the submarine boat and the torpedo
had its first real trial in the present
war.

WANTED: OPENINGS FOR
RETURNING SOLDIERS

The U. S. Employment Service. Au'
gusta, Maine. has received the follow
ing letter from the Sawyer. Boot.
Shoe Co., Bangor:
I'VE hold ourselves in readiness to
use soldiers who are crippled and in.
capacitated. for certain lines Of WORK
in our moccasin department, the work
being hand sewing Any person who
has lost one or more limbs might be
able to do this work. and We will be
glad to cooperate with your department
in doing anything we can to give reg
ular employment to such men"
The U. S. Employment Service asks
the cooperation of every firm, manu-
featuring industry. mercantile business
house and any other person or concern
who can and does hire any number, of
men, to assist in the finding Of employ
ment for our boys when they return
home. The employment service during
war times proved its worth by taking
care, Elm a large measure, of all labor
demands throughout the country. Now
that the entire labor situation has
changed, the employment service must
develop to meet the strain put upon It.
1t can do it best il it is bulwarked and
strengthened by every element in the
community. This it asks Of the citizens
of Augusta and vicinity. 1t is a ma
tional organization and it is operated
for the special benefit Of no group or
faction Of society. 1t Is neither the in
strument of labor movement. nor the
tool Of large concerns. It is, and II will
continue to be, solely an agency Of the
whole American people.
A Statewide survey Of labor condi-
tons is now being taken by this SER
vice. This is being done in order to have
a concise and accurate record Of all la
Dor needs throughout the State. Each
employer is being asked to keep the
Office of the service informed as to the
number of men he can use from day to
day. so that when the boys return and
apply they can be directed to job
without further delay.
