with them. But a vital part of the story was that next day, when the lieutenant reported to his superior officer, the captain called the men together and told them they must obey the rule about quiet at night.
 "A soldier must be allowed to sleep at sleeping time" he said "If there are 15O men in a barracks and 149 want to talk, they've got to keep quiet between taps and reveille so that the 150th man can sleep. The reason is very simple-If a soldier misses sleep he's got to do without it, for if he gets sleepy and tries to make it up on sentry duty he gets shot"
 Apropos of the war department order that death sentences passed upon soldiers in this country be re- ferred to it for review, it is recalled that Lincoln in 1861 ruled that no army death sentence should be exc cuted until he had personally exam ined all the circumstances and facts in the case.

THE MARRIAGE MARKET IN
 GERMANY

Marriageable men are growing very scarce in Germany, and girls, who before the war waited coyly to be won, are now going vigorously about the important matter of mar riage, using the modern machinery of advertising.
 'One afternoon I was giving a message to one of my patients, a very high German officer" says Adele Blenau in "A Nurses Story (Bobbs-MerrilD. I had been with him few minutes when, putting his finger to his lips, he whispered in French. They're letter-writing in the next room-if we are quiet think we can hear, it's very funny. I listened; the men were talking about matrimony, discussing it as a pure question of market value. They were reading matrimonial ad- vertisements from a German news paper. General von T-said to me: The war has changed the atti- tude of young girls, and older ones too, who have means and are seek ing suitable mates. They have greatly increased their efforts, while marriageable men are becoming cor respondingly shy. The women are getting less particular in their re- quirements,' he chuckled. "A girl with twenty-five thousand marks would hardly have advertised before the war for anything less than an officer of the army or navy; now she will gladly accept what is tech nically described as "better gentle man.
 "A moment later we heard the nurse reading:
 "'Well born, tall pleasing in ap- pearance, thirty-two years old, seek suitable companion for life, having in my own right large fortune; no anonymous communications and no agents
 "We fancied that advertisement sounded interesting to the soldier to whom it was read, for he lowered his voice and seemed to be dictating an answer"

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Some little opposition is mani fested in coastal parts of Alaska against the government railway that will extend to Fairbanks, says the Anchorage Democrat. It would be we'll for any person who lives in Alaska to first consider this .vern- ment ownership of railways in the territory as concrete proposition. Also to remember that the present route was only selected because it was considered that the country t1ib- utary to the line was most in need of transportation relief. But they should also consider that all the other routes that were s.ce,ed at that time will in all probabilities later receive government cid. In all probabilities, at no very distant day, roads will be built from Haines, the Copper River road constructed, and that there will be a system to the westward of the line now b. ing built. If Alaska is to be opened up as other frontier parts of the coun. try were, it will take m3re than one system, and it is probable that if the war was not now on, some  sort of program would be inaugu- rated by the government to see that all the places in Alaska needing rail transportation would be taken care of. Therefore for the future of railway construction, it sands every one in hand to boose their project so that the policy of constructing government railways will in the future be fostered.

GETTING THE: HABIT

Evidences are acurnulating. says tho Official Bulletii.. that the habit of saving among tn, American peo- pc, especially amors the patrons of savings banks and postal savings, is outstripipng the financial dema', Is made upon them by the Govern ment.
 While no exact figures are sva.l able at present it is known that postal savings deposits have steadily gained during the year 1917, and notably since the 1st of july of that year, which was after the first issue of the Liberty Loan.
 The reports from savings banks also show a steady gain, nd the same is true of cooperative ild,ng and loan associations.
 Nor have the people of small means been the only savers. It is estimated that the savings of the whole people of the United States ordinarily $5,OOO, 100000 ;o s6,O0O.- OO0,0OO annually, have increased to s14,OOO, 100000 to $15,00O, 1000, ,00O in 1917.
 The response of the people to the national need of economy and saving has been general and generous.

HOW WAR CHANGES MEN

When a man goes down into the depts of war, he may come up the same man, but the chances are he will be someone entirely differen The effects of fear are as many as the men who are afraid. And, says Alexander McClintock in Best O Luck ''if man isn't frightened when he goes under fire, it is because he lacks intelligence"
 Sergeant McClintock tells of some of his friends whom the war turned into new men. One of them was an amusing, hilarious boy during his whole time in training camp. "The war changed ihm entirely. He be- came extremely qliet, and seemed to be weighed down with the terrible things which he saw. He formed the habit of sitting alone and silent for hours at time, just thinking. In action he was as brave as they make them, but the prospect of death and suffering around him changed him utterly. From a cheer ful, happy lad he was transformed into an old man, silent. gloomy, and absent-minded except for momentary Saddle and Driving Horse for Rent.
 See Roland, Third and C. GA flashes of his old spirit, whichs be- came less and less frequent as the time for his own end drew nearer"
 Another man was worthless and unreliable while he was in train; ng He was always cheerful, always will being drunk, absent without leave, late on parade. ''In France this chap was worth ten ordinary men. He was always cheeful, always will ing and prompt in obeying or irr2, ready to tackle unhesita tingly the most unpleasant or the most risky duty.
 "Then there was a certain ser geant who was the best instructor in physical training and bayonet fighting in our brigade. When he got under fire he simply went to pieces. On our first bombing raid he turned and ran back into our barbed wire, and when he was caught there acted like a madman. I don't think he was a plain coward. There was merely something wrong with his nervous system"
 Most of these men, remade for better or worse, find somewhere the courage to go through with it. Says Sergeant McClintock: "It is the elbow-to-elbow influence that carries men up to face machine-guns and gas. A heroic battalion may be made up of units of potential cow ards" ..-.:*--~ ..

LOOKING FOR DEAD ONES

A superstitious subscriber, who found a spider in his paper, wants to know is it is considered a bad omen. Nothing of the kind. The spider was just looking over the columns of the paper to see what merchants were not advertising, so that it could spin it's web across his door and be free from disturbance.

After a great deal of rustling full crew was recovered and the work resum- ed. The heating system will be SUD- plemented by electric stoves in the future to prevent cold feet and also strikes.

Editor kennebec Journal:
In the Editors Letter Box, issue of
February IS. 1918, The kennebec
So-But?", appears a sceptical letter
, from the extremely versatile pen of
the Poet Laureate Of Augusta, Mr..
Kenneth Fuller Lee. Without going
too deeply into the merits of the case,
would like, as a square deaT. to
call attention to the fact that a half
truth is always dangerous.
The letter from the Hancock County
man. reporting bob-cat depredations
on deer. was not misquoted by Mr.
Lee, but to suit his own convenience
and bolster up his argument as, to the
bob cat capacity for deer-meat, he
very cleverly quoted only a part of
the letter, stopping at a point that
would lead his readers to infer that
one bobcat had eaten five deer. an
absurdity patent to all, and ending his
quotation with the ever convenient
and all embracing etc.
1t happens that the writer read with
particular interest the original letter
and would like to finish the quotatio
for MIR. Lee, so far as memory serves.
After stating the fact of finding yard
Of four deer all killed and about all
eaten up. and the finding of one other
large doe deer killed and partly eaten
about a mile and one-half further on.
the correspondent continues something
like this: - making in all five deer
killed by tob-ca The plural of
bob cat is particularly to be noted in

parents when they read in the history
of 1918 that the President of the United
States. with all the powers conferred
upon him by the Constitution for war
emergencies, saw among his people
millions of shivering, luckless loyalists,
suffering every day and every hour for
need of the fuel which was being used
every day in the great hreweries for
the production of a useless waste, and
yet did not act TO suppress the evil?
Can the students of 1865 believe their
histories when they look back upon the
history of 1918, as we now look back
upon the evils of slavery days, and
wonder how our grandfathers could
have persuaded themselves to accept
even for a moment the horrors of
slavery:

this instance. No claim was made py
the correspondent from Hancoch
County that one cat was responslple
for the wholesale damage.
+; Mr.. Lee is undoubtedly a clever
writer and may be a woodsman also.
but had he ever spent any amount OF
time in the big woods" during a Sc
we're winter like this present season,
he should know that it is not unusual
to find evidences of bob cat raids on
deer-yards, and slaughter of full
grown deer caught in the deep snow
and crusts by bobcats, is by no
means an unknown occurrence.
