Some Of the sIaeksrs

Many men who had been employed
in local .shipyards since the war
opened. left Bath Immediately after
the armistice was signed. They were
on their jobs simply to avoid the
draft. One man packed his trunk
Saturday night, after reading in The
Times that the kaiser had abdicated,
saying that he knew the armistice
would be signed soon and he did not
intend to lose any time in getting
back home as soon as the danger was
over.-Bath Times.
We are glad that the Times calls
attention to the class Of people who
have deliberately evaded their share
Of the real responsibility Of war. by
engaging in a worL under the guise
Of government necessity" to save ex-
posing their own bodies to a Hun
bullet, and, when the danger is over.
pack their trunks and return home.
A man may finch from a whistling
bullet and we have heard many
Civil War and numerous European
War veterans state that the man who
said he was not afraid when going
into battle was liar. But the chap
who flinches from facing his duty.
seeks safety under the pretence Of
being invaluable in other work. is in
a class by himself and will be so
known during the rest Of his uncom-
Portable life.
The man with ability needed and
wanted by his Uncle Samuel was
known and sent for A very accurate
check was kept on each man by the
army officials, and while some did
succeed in evading their full share of
war duty, they are known and prop
erly labeled. The ether fellow faced
the music-some gave their lives. All
honor to the real war worker.
Enough said about the others.

Wanted, a Boarding Place.

The following communication ap-
peared in the Letter Box of the Port
land Express, issue of Nov Is last:
Don't Feed Germany!
To the Editor:
Slr-The people of Germany, in de-
feat, and especially the women. are
raising wild howls for succor; and
from the trend of our policy and thar
of our Allies, it looks as if these howis
were to be needed and the food so
sorely needed elsewhere were to be
put into German hands by all too
sentimental altruism
l protest against this, and I feel
that there are millions more Of like
opinion. The Germans themselves
have admitted, that in the time nf
their power, they made starvation a
military and political weapon TO
break the spirit of their enemies and
to clear territory for subsequent Ger
man occupation. They claimed it
was cheaper than bullets, and more
wholesale, more effective Belgium
northern France, Russia, Serbia, Po-
land, all have felt this method Of
qualification" at German hands; and
Armenia. thus suffer ing, has done 50
by connivance of Germany with Tur-
key in this policy of determination by
starvation. Not only this, but it IS
credibly reported by travellers that
the bones Of many thousand Poles,
dead of starvation along the high
ways of Poland have been ground up
and used by the Germans for fertili-
ger. No children under - are alive
in Warsaw, due to German starva-
ton policy. Germans have eaten, in
occupied territories. and watched
thousands of natives die Of starva-
ton, quite unmoved by their suffer-
ings. Hungerpolitik has been q
mighty weapon in German hands.
And now!
Starvation has come home to these
Infamous people; and, as they draw
their belts tighter over the shrunken
bellies that once they so loved to stuff
and gorge with the food Of exploita-
ton. they set up howls and shrieks of
woe. appeals for pity. and all manner
of pleas in the name of humanity"
They point to their women, their chill
dren, and with tears in their eyes
but lately inf1amed With every crime,
cruelty and lust-whine and beg for
mercy and for food. Shame on the
shameless ones.
Sentimentalists will arise and say
unto us that we have beaten the Ger
man armies, and that now we should
succor and cherish in our bosoms the
women and children of that land ac-
curst. l reply that the women and
the children are of the same viper
brood. Of the same blood and kin, and
that in no wise do they differ from
the men, save in lesser strength. If
you will read Mrs. Sidgwick's Salt Of
the Earth, you will learn how Ger
man women viewed the war, how
they gloried in the air-raids, the bar
barities. the crucifixions, and all the
rest OF it. In some cases they have
been worse, even. than the men. With
what complacency they have regard
ed the rape Of Belgium, France and
all the rest of the occupied terrific
ries. How cheered the sinking Of
the Lusitania, the murder of French.
Polish and English babies! The list
is too long for quotation, but all Of
US who have any grain Of common
sense well know that no women's
voices were raised in Germany
against the bloody deeds and the
starvation policy OF Kultur. Yet now

He isn't sure of anything.

No positive assertion

With reasonable assurance that
baseball will be resumed on almost a
normal basis another season, Port
land fans are discussing chances of
having a team when franchises are
apportioned for an Eastern or New

winter is over it is the hope of local
lovers of the National game that
Portland may be included in some
compact, we'll balanced circuit, which
bids fair to last out the entire season
and be a profitable venture for who
ever takes hold Of it.

operates a ship yard in Richmond, has

the construction of the vessels building
at the companys' yard only three and
a half miles away. The deeds show that
