SteePs New Rival.

The American Chemical Society
announces q new rival for steel.
Everybody knows that metals
undergo changes through the infu-
ence of oxygen and moisture from the
air; these two bodies being always
ready for chemical business. There
fore, as everybody also knows. steel
knives and other familiar utensils re-
quire continual cleaning because they
rust so easily Steel is even more
susceptible to rust than iron.
The chemists problem in this case
has been to make a metal Which is
permanent and will not rust, having.
at the same time, hardness and other
qualities of steel. That is, a metal
as permanent as gold and as strong
as steel.
Mr. Elwood Haynes. a member OF
the American Chemical Society. re-
lates in Metallurgica: and Chemical
Engineering of long series Of ex-
pcriments which he made during a
period Of many years, especially in
alloys OF cobalt chromium, tungsten
and molybdcnum. He finally sue
ceded in making some of these
metals so hard that they can scratch
any steel in existence. He has given
the name Stellite to the series.
Stellite may be indefinitely heated
without showing oxydation, except
for the fact that the surface takes on
permanent blue color. Lathe tools,
milling cutters, saws, drawing dies,
boring tools. drills, etc, have been
made from Stellite as we'll as surgical

been placed on the market. Table

they may last, it appears, for a thou
sand years more without furnishing
With this alloy SITTER than steel
and with a permanent brilliancy, we
may expect table knives, spoons and
forks which we may present to Cur
grandchildren As new.

May II, 1918.
My dear Eva:
Ii I wrote to YOU before it is long
ago. and perhaps you can stand get
ting wee word from me again |
have an idea it is much more tran
quill in YOUR quiet corner of Chelsea
than here.
| don't know what the inhabitants
Of that famous village would say or
. do if there should break upon them
, three or four of the thousand and one
noises to which | am in the habit of
listening now day and night, eSpe-
cially the latter. But YOU may he
certain 1 shall be happy to get back
to peace and home and at this mo-
ment would enjoy few things more
than to look in upon some pleasant
country place like Searls' Mills. Just
now | am waiting for the first of
, June when | hope to have another
brief leave OF absence with Polio"
somewhere on the coast in the neigh
bOrhood of Bordeaux. We expect to
have with us this trip Nathan Robin
son of Mt. Vernon. who you remem-
ber drove Ed down to our camp last
summer. 1t doesn't look now very
. much like good prospect of our get
ting to South Bristol this coming Au-
gust, but / hope YOU and Lettie can
get down there, even if you do find
the dock gone. If we can be entirely
contented in these sad times we GER
doing an all-important work and have
every reason to be thankful for the
way we are being provided for and
remembered by all the friends at
home. You have all been loyal and
! have done your part. Our own part
seems larger to YOU than to US. for
we measure it by the immense needs
we see and the great sacrifices being
made By the thousands about us. We
cannot forget ever the wonderful eX-
periences we have had. 1t has been
almost like a dream to us since leav-
ing just seven months ago 1t he
gins to look as if a year will have
passed before we get back home, and
perhaps more. But think Of the men,
women and children who have suf-
fered for over three years. For them,
and for the cause of humanity and
for the future of the world we must
remain and do what we can. From
our other letters I'm sure YOU get an
idea of what we are trying to do.
This is meant Just as loving greet
ing to you and to any to whom YOU
can extend same Give my love to
Gene and Julie. Tom and Edna, Mary,
Carol and Thomas. all the neighbors,
relatives and friends, and believe me
ever affectionately your brother.

Gus and very irritable, was all tired

liam Howard Taft is it's president,
and Judge Alton B. Parker is it's vice
president. Associated with it are DR..
Lyman Abbott, President Lowell Of
Harvard. DR.. Anna Shaw. Henry
Watterson, John c. Shaffer. and
other friends and admirers of Sena-
tor Beveridge. This is the organiza-
ton he believes himself to be argu-
ing against. But it isn't. What the
Senator is SO indignant with is really
league of his own construction. In
his anxiety lest America plunge hot
foot into the unknown, he makes up
a constitution and a set of bylaws
and house rules and membership
committee for a suppositious league,
and then having built a club house
for it, of the most inflammable ma
teriais, he proceeds to set it on fire
with shells Of incendiary oratory;
beats up the members with a rhetor-
ical club. and dances on the ashes
with combination of grace and
grimness suitable to the devastated
occasion.
But the League to Enforce Peace
which the Senator believed he was
attacking adopted a platform which
contains none of the house rules,
membership rules. worriments. dan
gers and complications provided for
it by the Senator. Here is the plat
form:
Ito make the world safe, by the
defeat of Germany and German mill
tarism.
2--To keep the world safe, by a
League of Nations.
That is all. If you are opposed to
a safe world you are opposed to the
principles Of the league. You may
think the thing can't be done, nut
you can't think it oughtn't to be done.

Redoubie Our War Efforts Nav

The powerful resistance Of the
Italian army to the Austrian drive is
the result of renewed spirit of pa =
trlotism and a determination to win
the war which has swept all political
factions in Italy into one united
people backing the army and the
government in their resistance to the
Austrian invader"
This statement was the comment
OF DR., Felice Ferrero, head of the
Italian bureau of information in New
York City based on dispatches which
he has received in the past two days
from Rome.
The united purpose of the coun-
try said DR.. Ferrero, lin spite of
political differences in opinion, is in
dicated by the enthusiastic reception
recently accorded King Victor Eman
uel in Ravenna, a center of repub
hcan and socialistic sentiment"
Dr. F'errero made public a cable
gram, describing two-day visit bv
the King to the Ravenna district in
the province of Emilia, where he was
received with marked signs of defer
ence. Officials and people were en-
thusiastic.
In striking contrast is the authe,-
tic evidence from both Austria and
Germany of internal conditions
reaching a crisis. Food riots are IN
creasing and even the press of both
empires is speaking out with surpris
ing frankness.
At the capital of Austria on
Wednesday, mobs broke into bakeries
stoned the residence of the premier
and also one of the wings of the
Hofburg palace Cavalry is being
rushed to restore order and marshal
law will be proclaimed.
Even the Vienna city council pro
tests the reduction of the bread ra-
ton. The Vienna labor council de-
mands the "speediest general peace
notwithstanding the great obstacles
at present in the way of peace en-.
deavors."
Other evidence indicates the break
ing point at hand, with the emperor
at the front appealing to his army
to crush the Italian foe, urging on tc
renewed sacrifice his hungry and
heart sick soldiers, in a last des
perate hope.
In Germany. too. recognition of the
inevitable seems to be sweeping the
people. The decisive defeat of the
latest attempt to take Rheims, Al
attempt in which the two division.
of German shock troops ordered
to take it at any cost. were almost
completely wiped out by the French
is having it's effect upon the German
army.
The present indications of the Aus.
trian drive are of complete and de.
moralizing failure. Just what effec,
such defeat would have at home
where conditions are already critical
: may we'll cause panic to the empero,
Daily Kennebec journal., 1918-06-21

and all the Hapsburgs. 1t may also
send other war masters as well "a
Hindenburg to madhouSes.
All these things are encouraging to
America and the allies, but rather
than an excuse for slackening our ef-
forts, they call for redoubled efforts
on our part, to hammer the foe into
submission while he is winded. Now
is the time to give him the hell he
has earned.

at peace, it is fitting and proper
that we should celebrate our
holidays this year in a different
manner from that of former
years.
Thanksgiving this year has a
double meaning, in tn at we
should be doubly thankful that
the carnage and destruction of
this terrible war have ended, and
that we will soon have our boys
home again. We should be
thankful especially to our heroes.
who so gallantly gave their lives
that democracy may live. We
should be thankful that we have
had sufficient food to supply US
during these four long and ter
rible years, and that while we
have had to be conservative in
our use of it, we have not been
deprived of it or suffered the
pangs or starvation and hunger
that have been felt across the
sea by many countries, especial
ly Belgium.
