would be accommodated. that it
should not be compelled to stop this
train at Newport Junction.

from the coming Of what Is known as
summer people from beyond the linn

NO entitled to reasonable treatment
with reference to the matter OF

US is of such character as to con
vince US absolutely that the people of
Dover-Foxcroft branch are not being
reasonably accommodated under the
present summer schedule. 1t also
convinces us that neither the re-

public will suffer any serious incon-
venience by putting into effect and
continuing during the entire year the
arrangement OF trains obtained dur

A decision was rendered Friday by
the Public Utilities Commission in
the case of John l.. Morrison and
others against the Maine Central
Kailroad Co, ordering that the Maine
Central forthwith put in effect and
continue in effect until further order
the same schedule of passenger
trains upon the Foxcroft branch, so
called. which was in effect prior to
the change to the present summer
schedule.
The commissioners say in their de-
cision:
This was a complaint against the
Maine Central Railroad Company al
leging Inadequate service at Dover
and Foxcroft, Dexter, Corinna, New
port and other places on what is
known as the Foxcroft branch of the
respondent company.
The particular complaint relates
to what Is said to be inadequate train
service from Dover Foxcroft and in
tervening stations to Newport juno
ton on the above named branch of
the Maine Central Railroad Company
This branch begins at Dover Fox
croft and ends at Newport Junction.
at which point is located a station on
the main line of the Maine Central
Railroad Company between Portland
and Vanceboro.
Upon complaint Of virtually the
same parties with reference TO the
branch we ordered the company TO

made it's change of time for the sum

leaving of this train was changed
and this change is the cause of the
complaint. Briefly stated, the winter
situation was such that parties could

THE JUNKER AND HIS CANNON
 FODDER.

Over there on the Hindenburg line there are gray-green masses of helmeted automatons- human material they are designated in terminology of the war lords who are daily sent forth with gas and flame and grenades and belching guns and knives of steel to make offering of their bodies for cannon fodder and to hack, -hew, mangle and exterminate other masses of men, distinguished from them by uniforms of different color and helmets of a differ ent make.
 Behind them, declares a writer in the Kansas City Star, are other more gaily uniformed men who drive them to their gruesome tasks with sharp cries of com mand and hissings of scorn and contempt if they falter or fail. And further in the rear of the line, beyond the reach of shot or shell, beyond even the echoes of the drum fire, in luxurious apartments, with servants and couriers, wines and warm baths, air planes and motor cars ready at their beck and call, sit other more gorgeously uni formed men, with huge bodies and square heads, bending over maps, writing, dictat- ing, bandying courtesies and exchanging military pleasantries of speech. And in the security and magnificence of his palaces the supreme war lord holds council with the high princes 9f Junkerdom, at whose behest the floodgates of hate and blood were opened upon peaceful world.
 And as to the why of it all? Ask the supreme war lord and the princes in coun- cil and they will prate magniloquently of God, kultur, the fatherland and world power Ask the square-headed generals and they will tell you of salients and sec tors, masterly maneuvers, victory and Ger man peace. Ask the little captains who drive the men into the cannon mouths and they will prate of duty discipline heroism and iron crosses. But seldom does there come voice from those millions in gray green. Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die And yet they have each of them thinking minds beneath their spiked helmets and they must be thinking strange and luminous thoughts, as they march into the valley of death, linked cogs in the kaiser's categorical imperative ma chine

Germany's coercion of Holland by means of menace and threat if the little Dutch kingdom did not yield in the matter of allowing German war material to pass through her territories, Is but another page turned for the world to see of the Prussian policy of might is right. The full story of all that Holland has had to endure from her big neiqhbor has not been told, but merely hintcd at It is declared that Hollands ports and territory would have been seized or violated long ago but that she has been extremely useful to the Hun. Her ship ments of foodstuffs into the land of the blockaded Teuton have been enormous. In fact German buyers came right to the food badly needed by Holland. When the American embargo against Holland went into effect and food became corresponding ly scarce, then the German mailed fist be- gan to menace Holland in earnest Her de- mands to violate neutrality in Germany favor became more frequent and unreason- able Holland was not so useful as she had been. Now, no one can live in peace and happiness near the Hun unless they bring grist to the Fiunnish mill It is also a fact that many Dutch merchants were guilty of most represensible profiteering with foodstuffs sent from America in good faith for Hollands use Compared to Bel gium Hollands course has been most mer- cenary all the way through. The Dutch are staunch fighters when once they turn their hand to war. A Dutch army of million men on Germany's flank might well change the entire plan of the 1918 campaign. But there is not much hope that Holland will fight unless absolutely forced into the war.

In the trial of the l. w. w. leaders at Chi cago the government has presented its case with lash of scorpions. Disloyalty and sabotage is alleged with the declaration that there are abundant proofs behind to bear out these statements. The government de- clares that these wobblies and traitors op- posed war plans, were open enemies of the government and promoted strikes in the in- terest of this nation enemies. Bill Cleary Hunt appointee, is defending these miser- able men, apparently with the sanctioned good will, and certainly with the consent of his patron, the governor of Arizona Contrast Hunts position in this matter so vital to America best interests in the war with the position Tom Campbell takes in firing his opening gun of the 1918 guber- material campaign It is enough to make Arizona hide her head in shame, this posi- ton of her governor and leader of the Dem ocratic party in the state Hunt has de- clared that he will dictate the next governor of this state, and his candidates bear his brand And his friend and appointee, Bill Cleary stands before the nation as the de fender of traitors of the most virulent and despicable type.

Great Britain has just set us an astonish- ing example of national grit and readiness to make every sacrifice for victory by an nouncing budget of over $4, 200, 900, ,000, the greatest in the history of the world. This magnificent sum is to be raised en- tirely within Great Britain by population of only 48,000,000 of people British war expenses for the coming year are estimated at 5 l4,000,0 100000, of which nearly one third will be paid out of taxation. The British debt now stands at 39 billions, in- cluding $8,000,000,000 loaned to the AL lies. Our own expenses during the first year of the war have been about 5 $l0,000,- 100000 nearly one-half of this represent ing loans to our Allies. Our population is approximately ll0,000,000 This coming year our expenses will surely be much larg- CT than the sum just named, and we are raising only about l 4 per cent by taxation, the remaining 86 per cent being provided for by bonds If Great Britain after nearly four years of war with her smaller popu- lation and resources can successfully stand such a huge strain, as she certainly Is, there is no need to feel any anxiety concerning
