WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.
The One War fort In Which Maine
Has Not Gone Over the Top.


Arrangements have been completed
for another tremendous war cam
paign for Maine, which IS to cover every
section OF the State, and which is going
to ask its people to lend the government
at least q, 0oo. 900. This is to be an in
tensive drive on war savings stamps, the
only war effort in Maine which has not
yet gone over the top out Of the dozen or
more which have been held in the past
two years.
In order to make Names record 100 per
cent, and to allow her name to go down
in history as State which backed the
nation from start to finish in the great
world war, this-single campaign must be
put over the top IN the next four weeks,
or before January 1, 1918.
With this idea in view a big intensive
drive is TO be held during he week OF De-
cemher TIA, and everyone will be asked
to subscribe to his or her limit to var
savings stamps for the honor Of Maine and
in order to oring our boys back home at
the earliest possible moment.
Many OF the principal workers OF the
united war work campaign which has
just been brought to a successful close,
have volunteered their services for this
war savings drive.
The county campaign managers will be
the regular county directors who have
been handling the war savings drive in
the various counties of the State during
the past year. The director for Hancock
county is Edward.F. Small OF Ellsworth.
The entire campaign will be in direct
charge OF Herbert }. Brown OF Portland,
who has done such splendid work during
the last eleven months, and who will have
associated with him as assistant directors,
Benjamin b. Sanderson, Portland, who
has been with Mr.. Brown since the start,
and DeForest H. Perkins, formerly super
iutendent OF schools OF Portland, and nos
executive secretary of the Portland cham
Der OF commerce.
notwithstanding the fact that Maine
has had nothing but war campaigns for
the past two years, it is confidently felt by
these officials that she is going to come to
the front in the present crisis, and that
the State will be found safely over the
top in the only drive, to date, which has
not reported an over-subscription.
This campaign will be vastly different
from the united war work. drive just
closed, because here the people are asked
to So bscribe to the best security in the
world, drawing one of the highest rates OF
interest of any government loan, instead
of giving the money outright, as was the
case in the war work drive. In other
words, this is to be a campaign of "lend"
at a spiesdid rate of interest, instead of
''give with no financial return.
Hancock county, with qnota OF $685.
600, has cash sales OF s393, ss3.e9, which is a
per cent. to quota of T0.5, and leaves $751;
1861 to be purchased.

Has the Kaiser Abdicated?

The Daily Mail of London attributes to
high official of the British government
the statement that William Hohenzollern
is still German emperor and king of Prus
STA, as far as the British government is in
formed, and apparently is waiting for
something to turn up.
1.-THE Berlin government" the official
added, "hss not made anv communication
to the allies or the United States Jtifying
as of his abdication. We think il almost
certain that if the abdication occurred,
notification would have bee n sent, at least
to the United States.
mo abdication document bearing the
Aaiser's signature is in existence as far as
the outside world knows not hing but the
perfunctory statement of Prince Maxi
milan. Wilhelm, therefore, undou btedly
still regards the throne as his, and the
world must contemplate the probability
that he expects to return.
"While Holland cannot doubt that the
allies do not relish her affording him
asylum, there has not been, as yet, any
joint effort of the associated governments
to extradite him."

Among the letters OF congratulstion re-

birthday on Oct. 25, was one from a Surry
boy who went to sea with him nearly
seventy years ago, and whose mother was
a sister of Capt. Means first wife. He
writes from Shiveley, CAL, where he is
now living, in part as follows:

The Red Cross has for years been f,
associated with hospitals, doctols, sol !
diers, sailors, battles, disasters; but it
is only within the last few months
that those who do not come under
any of these classes have come to real
lie the importance of the assistance
rendered by the Red Cross.
Soldiers and sailors must be encour-
aged to carry on Their morale
must be upheld. The sailor or soldier
who Is worrying about the welfare Of
his family is not able to put his mind
on the business before him. For this
reason the Home Service Section of
the American Red Cross has been or
ganized. and to the folks at home Ill
means neighhorliness, counsel and aid
the nations assurance to the enlist
ed man that his family shall suffer for
no essential thing that is within its
power to give.
In practically every large city of the
United States there Is already a class
for training the workers of the Home
Service section, so that they may be
able to efficiently deal with the very
real problems that are before them.
1t is not the policy of the section 10
force upon families the aid of the Red
Cross nor to burden them with inter
ference. No family should be APP
preached unless some member of the
family or some person capable of
speaking for them has asked for the
service. Because 1t is the desire of
the Committee on Civilian Relief, I'M
der whose direction this work comes,
20 keep the service of the bureau
strictly confidential, the wearing of
any uniform by the Home Service
workers has been discouraged. They
call simply as friends and try TO call
Immediately when requested.
In no instance is visitor permit
ted to pry into the secrets of the fam
lily. Help is always ready, and the call
usually comes from the man In the
service himself Through the work
ers in the camp or at the front he
learns that his family may be assisted,
and II he does not hear regularly or
encouragingly he is quite apt to talk
over with the Red Cross man or wo-
man the affairs of his home when he
learns Of the friendly interest, and
thus send local workers to his family.
The school teachers also are often the
informants, for they know through the
children Of the needs at home and are
glad to see the family's problems
solved.

The directors of this company have learned

Senator Hale was director of this institu-

Children of the Crusade
By JEANNE JUDSON.

Frightened and pitiful they walk apart,
Through the familiar village street, grown strange,
Hand clasped in hand, they hear weird echoes start
From ruined homes. Fear dumbs each small child heart
No tears rain down like dew to ease their woe;
Horror has dried the wells from which they sprang,
Like crusaders of the long ago,
Their phantom banners in the breezes blow.
If one should call out Follow" they would run,
Crime of the highway on their tiny feet,
Needless alike of dust and blazing sum-
Forget, as dreams, the horrors that were done.
None calls; weary they rest within the shade
The ruined church. where they learned to pray,
Long years before the war had come, and laid
Their homes in ruins, made their hearts afraid.
Before the Holy Mother low they bow,
Perhaps she hears and will bring them aid.
1t must be she whose voice is calling now,
For see the cross is shining on her browl
The light around her head nimbus CLEANS,
Red Gross worker, not from Heaven, they know,
Yet Mary heard and sent her here it seems,
To lead them home to shelter and to dreams.

A NATIVE OF ELLSWORTH.
California Pioneer Dead at Home in
Oakland, CAL


James A. Nichols, native of Ellsworth,
died November 10 at his home in Oakland,
Cal, at the age of seventy years.
Mr.. Nichols, as young man, enlisted
in the army in the Civil war. In 1863,
with his father, he went to California and
located at Mendocino, entering the en-
ploy of the Mendocino Lumber Co. He
was soon made camp foreman, and later
woods superintendent for the company.
AS member of a posse, in an encounter
with outlaws in 1879, Mr.. Nichols was
wounded, and the woods foreman whom
he succeeded was killed. Mr.. Nichols
was also engaged in the merchandise
business in Mendocino.
The Mendocino Beacon says of him:
Jim" Nichols was fine type OF that
stalwart race of New Engianders who
came here forty to fifty years ago and be-
gan the development OF this coast.
Straightforward in all his dealings, abso-
lutely square, and true as die, be gath
red friends unto him all his life. Though
bluff in speech, he was thoroughly tender
OF heart, and was most considerable of his
employees, and men returned to work for
him year after year. No man in this sec
tion had more friends. His passing will
be sincerely mourned.
He is survived by his wife, daughter,
Miss Edith, and q son, Her bert; brother,
Joseph II. Nichols, of this place, and one
sister, Mrs. N. Dunbar.
