Maine Anti-TuberculOsis Assn
To Help Win War

The writer has recently been
asked, why are you agitating anti
tuberculosis work in Hallowell now ?
We are patriotic in Hallowell, and
want to give all our time and money
to win the war, and all side issues
should be pigeon holed for the pres
ent. When the worlds war is over
will be the time for your cause"
The winning Of the war is the
most important of all issues Of to-
day. Our soldiers are over there,
and we must labor here, serve. pre-
pare for the magnificent America to
be- We must conserve everything,
but above all, health. In face of the
fact that AZ per cent of Names
young men examined for the army
were rejected because of physical
disability is sufficient proof that
anti tuberculosis work must not be

The Open Forum

Alfred w Martin was the speaker
Wednesday evening at the Universal
list church. the first Of a series Of
Open Forum lectures to be given in
this city.
The lecture was very interesting
and Mr.. Martin, speaker of marked
ability. His subject was classification
for Our Part in the War and the Fal-
lacies of Pacifism." Hon. W. Il. At
kins introduced the speaker Of the
evening after Rev NJ. G. Folsom
gave in a few brief words the history
Of the open Forum. At the close of
the address opportunity for question
was given and many aNailed them

This was an exceptionally pleasing
feature Five other meetings are 10

Mr. Martin opened his address BY
stating that pacitism is one Of the IS
sues Of the day and we should all %

fists. The paclfist is prone to appeal

even further than the Quakcrs and
say that we should not use force IF

Jesus left no clear cut saving against
war: none that cannot be interpret
ed the other way also. He brought
out several such cases. We as a coun-
try have committed ourselves ana
this we should live up to even 10 The
extent of martyrdom if necessary.
Tho very worst thing we could Go
would be to permit an abOmdable
act 10 be committed when It was i'll
our power to prevent. 1t is a certain
fact that arbitration will eventually
take the place of war but there IS
not a nation eXtant today that has
eliminated the brute clement suiti-
cred thing but it is not the most s2
cred and hence is not to be preserV-
ed at the expense Of those things
that arc more sacreG, as honor. lib
erty, justice and service. A wise and
dispassionate use of force is the verg
essence of the Golden Rule.
The speaker said that he reioiced
as an American citizen that our coun-
try went to the very limit Of endur-
ance and forbearance before declar-
ing war. We ought to see that no au-
tocrat should ever again have the
power to apply the match. The speak
er believed that the real peril Of the
hour was that we should become 80
blessed by war that we would De

that is to follow and which cannot
be handled by force. He referred %
Pres. Wilson's saying that We should

ship Of justice in which all nations
even those with whom we are now at
war NAV partake"

Will not every one in Hallowell

located the office of the hotel clerk,
the cashiers office and then the man
ayers office Next to these were two
elevators between which on the wall
was placed a regulation United states
