We must work with the highest speed, as if the war was to end in six months. We must prepare in every direction, as if it was to last for years. Speed and prep. aration are both expensive.

LET GEORGE DO IT."

This is one of those short sentences
which live for time in the current slang
Of the day. Its hold on life is probably
due to the fact that we have a habit of
delaying in the performance of duty
This habit has made a great number of
people indifferent, not only in matters re
lating to social uplift, but in business
matters and in the performance of official
duties, 'Let George do it" is closely re-
tated to 'watchful waiting" and has
been the main cause of all unprepared-
ness. George happened to be Just like
The rest of us and George did not prepare.
Besides being too lazy to do it, it is unfor-
tunately true that in great many cases
George did not know how to do it.
In Germany when a Job is given to
George he has to get busy lat once and
unless he shows results as required on the
blue print his name is not on the Satur-
day payroll
In this country, George does not begin
10 hustle till he starts for the office to get
his pay check. The American George"
mas proved to be failure We have no
further use for him.

The Women at Home.

Thoroughly womanly was the Christ
mas message sent to the American
soldiers in France from the women OF
America, with the Presidents approval.
It reads: s'The women of America are
with YOU in spirit and in service. You
are our standard bearer and our hope. We
love YOU. we believe in you and pray for
YOU this Christmas season." The word
ING could not be bettered. 1t Is laden
with the characteristic contributions to
masculine heroism which womanhood has
made since our human world began
The beneficent effectiveness of women
probably never showed to greater advan-
taoe than in their present war work. A
story has come across the ocean which
hears telling testimony to the effect of
their almost boundless practical achieve
ments. A body of American soldiers
were watching French troops start for
the trenches. It was cold, and the French
men were without sweaters. A quick
transfer of the sweaters worn by the
Americans was soon under way, our men
merrily helping their French comrades in
getting into the warm garments. ''But
what will YOU yourselves do without
them?" asked the grateful Frenchmen.
ooh. our women at home will soon take
care of thatp' was the hearty answer.

WHY is IT?

"Some Democratic newspapers assert
that this is no time for politics., and
that this is no time to talk about the
tariff
eff this is no time for politics, why has
the Democratic National Committee re-
Gently reorganized on the most system
attic campaign basis ever attempted by
any party committee in the United
States2 Why is that committee issuing
partisan publicity matter and maintain
ing an extensive publicity bureau7 If
this is no time for politics, why are the
Democratic campaign contributors given
The most powerful positions in our war
organization and why was the chairman
of the Democratic National Committee
chosen to 60 as a representative of this
country to the war conference in Europe?
Why are the Democrats so actively Or
ganizing in the State of Maine?
eff this is no time to talk tariff; why
are We maintaining tariff commission,
why was that commission placed in the
control of free traders, and why is the
commission now conducting tariff in
quiry2 Shall the business. men of Ameri-
ca keep silent while an official organiza-
ton of free traders talk tariff? Shall
men who exercise alert foresight in their
private business adopt 'watchful wait
ing policy in public affairs? Shall we
postpone preparedness for peace until
peace has come? Shall men be told that
they are nervous and hystericaP when
they urge preparedness for commerce
Just as they were when they urged pre-
paredness for war? Shall men who be-
lieve in America First leave tariff dis
cussion and tariff legislation to that po-
litical party which, in 1913 legislated for
Europe and Asia first?
"Shall Republicans cease to talk poll
tics while all the power of the admins
tration is being used to place Democrats
in power?'

GIVE US THE TRUTH.

The Boston Herald and journal in it's
issue of Dec. 2A'l, published dispatch
from Portland which said: Gov Carl
Niiliken will be candidate to succeed
himself as chief executive of the State,
and will not contest in the primaries for
The United States Senatorship to succeed
B. NJ Fernald, now serving for the short
term" Governor Milliken is reported to
aave said, when afterwards interviewed
4 find enough to do as Governor to
occupy all my time and am giving none
of it to political matters of the future
When the time comes l will consider
them" Il have made no such
statement as appears in the Boston Herald
article from Portland, and no one has
neen authorized to make such a state
ment" We are entirely willing to wait
Ill his Excellency makes a decision as to
care very much what his decision will be-.
We do wish, however, that the leading
newspapers of the country would cease
10 publish fake dispatches. If dispatch
from Portland to Boston proves to be ten
legrees below tawdry camouflage, what
faith can we have in dispatches from
Geneva, Berne, Amsterdam or anywhere
over there" after they have been manu-
iactured by an imaginative newspaper
man and afterwards censored by John
Bull and George CreeI.

OUR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Prior to the war Germany had acqulr-
ed a large part of the South American
foreign trade especially on the Atlantic
coast. Her trading and double dealing
n diplomatic affairs, and her sinking of
ships so exasperated the people that
friendly relations have been severed and
nominally, at least, state of war exists
between Germany and nearly the whole
of South America, making its people our
Allies, in business if not in actual war
fare, AS consequence our trade with
them has greatly increased To Argen-
tina, Chill and Peru our trade has more
Than tripled; and to Uruguay quadrupled;
while to Brazil, Columbia, Ecuador and
Venezuela it is nearly three times as ex-
1ensive as in 1914. The magnitude of
his trade is shown by the fact that in
Inc first eight months of the past wear
the aggregate of this trade was 1920, OOO.-
900, Large as this sum is, it is sure to
be increased in the near future. Not only
will be this true during the war, but the in
crease will continue for years afterward.
Germany's merchant fleet has vanish
ed and years must elapse before it can be
built up. Aside from the standard ships
which the government is building for
transport and overseas service, private
yards are constructing many vessels for
1'le carrying trade. The U-boats cannot
seriously interfere with our coastwise or
South American trade and an open and
profitable field for our trade lies open.

1NDIAN PEERS OF CLERKS.

Representative Philip p. Campbell of
Kansas for years has made study of the
Indian question, and has been vitality in
terested in the welfare of those wards of
the Nation. He thinks the time has ar
rived when the Indian should be allowed
to cut loose from the supervision of clerks
in the Indian office at Washington, many
of whom are far below the general ability
and business capacity of the Indians
whom they undertake to control Mr..
Campbell takes prominent part inthe
discussion of all matters coming before
the Indian committee, of which he is
member, and was instrumental in secur-
ing the speedy passage of the bill permit
ting the sale of Indian coal lands in Okla
homa. It is estimated that over 45O, 600
acres of such lands will be opened for de-
velopment by the legislation, which will
90 long way toward relieving the ma
tional demand for fuel.

activity in the United States. It is ex-
pected that 100000 more men will be
called to 60 into training as soon as the
environments are vacated by those now
be made and the number of men to be in
riuded in that call is not yet determined
but probably the date will be in February
and that about 800, 600 men will be called.

sI1IPBUILDING IN MAINE.

During the year just closed there have
been launched from Maine yards steam
ers, 18 schooners, 3 barges and numerous
small craft all totalling a tonnage OF
%, 1863. Enough progress has been made
to show that in 1918 there will be more
than four times the number of vessels
built in this State than in 1917. Rock
land district has nine vessels on the
stocks, Belfast will build two. In Mill
bridge will be built. Several schooners
will be built at Boothbay Harbor. Waldo
boro. Sandypoint and Stockton will each
build one or more, while at Bath and IN
the Portland district will be built nearly
as much tonnage as all the other yards
combined. In this line of work Name is
doing her bit.

WAR FLOUR.

During last week the milling of "war
flour was begun in the mill centers of the
west, under the new government regu!a-
lions. The flour now in use is made from
so per cent of the wheat berry. The
other so per cent has been used for feed
ing stock on the farms. The "war bread"
will contain IA per cent of the berry.
Bran will be cheaper, because it will be
less valuable Whether 'war flour" will
be cheaper than the present grade of flour
now is;remains to be.demonstrated There
will be two grades of the new product,
to be known as the first grade and the
second.

untrimmed and matching knitting bag
was similarly plain, except for tassel
or two, yet the effect was particularly
stunning
Skirts grow tighter and tighter, othat
we seem to be fast approaching the old
"hobble, " but various devices soften out
lines that might be ugly. Panels and long
loops of material at the hips, little
coates and sashes of many sorts, slashes
and Turkish trouser lines, all help in the
new slim silhouette, which saves material
without too apparent economy.
Braid Trimmings.
Soutache and other braid trimmings
are smartly used for contrast and to en-
phasize lines. A dress of brown cloth,
with braidings in straight narrow lines OF
cream colored soutache is new and pretty
and the high collar that hugs the neck
closely and meets the couture, has little
satin turnover of the same color as the
braid that circles it in row after row, that
never stops until it has outlined high,
round neck.
Boots and Gloves.
There is decided penchant for patent
leather oxford with high heels and point
ed toes, with never spat to protect the
silk clad ankles, which is all very well if
a car takes one about, but not to be
recommended otherwise. Tinted gloves,
rather than white are favored with day
costumes, creams and soft grays and
light tans that often repeat the color con-
trast used in the costumes.

Gen. PershinR eludes the censor and
slips us the information that our troops
are ''arriving in increasing numbers"
Some day the general may cut loose and
tell us about how many there are over
there. The information would please
everybody and harm nobody, so far as the
plain and nonbureaucratic understanding
can see. Besides, if the powers that be
would take the public into their conf
dence little more, there would be much
less scope for the alarmist rumors and
sensational stories of which the govern
ment Justly complains. -Milwaukee Sem

A Voice From the South.

General Crozier has failed The fail
ure may not have been his fault, but he
has failed. Mr.. Baker, Secretary of War,
assumed the responsibility for part of
the failure.
The American people are not concerned
with who is responsible for the failure,
but they are concerned with the failure
itself and they want the person respon-
sible for this failure put in a position
where the danger of an additional failure
will be lessened.
Congress, in 1916, when we were about
to fight the Mexicans any minute, au-
thorized large quantities of arms to be
purchased.
Money was appropriated to purchase
machine guns. Now we find, after
eighteen months, that no machine guns
have been purchased, but that a COM
mittee has been tinkering with new
type of gun. That is not warfare. The
game of war after you are in it is to
fight with the implements at hand and
then to create better implements and get
them up as fast as possible.
We have had an army of million men
in process of training for several months.
Some of these men have never had gun
in their hands.
We have had several hundred thou
sand men enlisted for months and they
have no winter clothing, and yet the pri
vate merchants in the country have in
stock enough uniforms to clothe two or
three army corps.
The factories of this country can
make enough clothes in ninety days to
amply cover every American soldier.
Soldiers and officers have been exc
cuted and cashiered because they broke
the military law. Other soldiers and Off
GERS have been discharged because they
were deficient.
Big men in Washington who have worn
out the seat of their breeches in the swivel
chair should be made to either get results
or to get Memphis Appeal.

An Important Contract.

Diphtheria antitoxin will be available
in every part Of Maine in the near future
if the present plans of the State Depart
ment of Health are carried out. A con-
tract for the supply of biologic products
including smallpox vaccine and diphthe-
ria antitoxin has been made with the H.
X. milford Company of Philadelphia.
While four distributing points have been
established for the general biologic prod
nets needed in the treatment of disease,
the diphtheria antitoxin will be placed IN
any town in Maine where the druggists
are willing to cooperate. The four main
distributing centers for the other prod
ucts are in Portland, Augusta, Bangor
and Houlton. The reduction of the usual
cost of the products by approximately
fiftv per cent and the ease with which
thew ,can be secured in any part OF the
State make the new arrangement OF gen.
eral interest.
Farms and Health.
That country children are found to be
more unhealthy than city children is one
of the public surprises of recent days.
When the farmer has plenty of fresh air
to breathe and good opportunity to ex-
ercise in the open it is hard to reallze
that almost four times as many children
in the country are found with lung dis
eases, heart diseases, mental defects ana
ear troubles as city children. Nearly
three times as many have spinal curva-
ture and enlarged glands. Almost TWICE
as many have defective teeth and eyes,
adenoids, nasal troubles, etc.
The explanation of this surprising con-
dition may be based on variety OF facts
but one point is clear. The cities of the
country have long made use of scientific
knowledge along the lines of hygiene
while rural districts have not felt the
need of the same careful application OF
we'll known principles. Too often fresh
air, in spite of it's abundance, has been
shut out of the farmers dwelling. Lack
of bathing facilities and general unclean-
illness while not confined to one type of
living have nevertheless been found in
many farm communities The willing
ness to overlook all defects of teeth,
eyes, nose and throat until the conditions
become unbearable has contributed not
little to the situation.
There are undoubtedly other reasons
for the physical defects in the country
but practically all the conditions making
the rural population less healthy than
the city people can be remedied. One of
the chief interests of public health work.
ers in these days is to develop in rural
districts an appreciation of the dangers
that confront the farmer and an appreci-
alton of the great opportunities for health
that lies before him.
