UNGRATEFUL.

The population of Alabama is 2, 1873, 093.
The population of California is 2,377, $40.
Alabama had furnished up to June list of
this year, 26, 998 men for the army and
navy. California had furnished Ga, 2O5
men Under the present law California
will have to furnish more men under each
further call than will be called from Ala
bama, despite the fact that she has fur
nished Al ,274 more men than have gone
from the latter State. We wonder why
a congress, Democr attic in both branches,
should enact such an inequitable law, and
we wonder why the President did not
veto the enactment. Probably there are
plenty of good reasons, but there are
several people in California who would
like to known what those reasons are.
California had Is votes in the electoral
college which were all cast for Mr. Will

Mr. Hughes, that gentleman would have
friends are finding out that the mills of
the gods are grinding and that they pour

predict that it will be long time before

the Democratic party OF course Ala
bama is pleased. This is not the first
instance of favors given to the South.
Down there they have the craftsmanship
of nearly every important congressional

in cotton. They are favored by the tariff

comes from pretty near official headquar-

NO USE FOR THE AUSTRIAN IRON
CROSS.

At the annual meeting of the Maine
division, Sons of Veterans, which was
convened Wednesday, June 18th, in Port
land by Division Commander Allen L.
Curtis of Belfast, resolutions were unani-
mously adopted that change be made in
the design of the badge of past comman-
ders.
The badge, which in the past has been
a cherished decoration by all possessing
it. appears to have lost caste on account
of it's present design. The badge in ques-
ton resembles the Austrian iron cross,
and this design, it is requested, be sub
stituted by some other selected by the
national officers.
At the afternoon session Mayor Charles
B. Clarke, who few months ago became
a fully qualified Son of Veterans by
Joining Shepley camp of Portland, was
given an ovation when he entered the
meeting hall to extend his greetings and
welcome the visiting delegates to Port
land
The response to the address of well
come was by Division Secretary E, X.
Gould, who is past mayor OF the city
of Rockland.
In connection with the appointment OF
committees by Division Commander Cur
tbs Wednesday afternoon, Fillmore T.
Harris of Biddeford was selected for
credentials, R. H. Burbank for resolu-
tions, fraternal greetings and restoration
of rank, and Frank Wilson of Saco for

WAsHINGToN, July 19.-The armored
cruiser San Diego. which was sunk to-

is believed to have been the victim OF a
mine and not submarine. While def
mite information which would clear up
the cause of the destruction of the
largest vessel the nation has yet lost in

naval officers here favor the mine theory.
Only positive evidents OF U-boats being

contrary, and this is totally lacking so
far.

Admiral Nathaniel r. Usher early this

killed by the explosion OF a torpedo.
There were 2l5 survivors.
Three torpedoes were fred at the Car

was maintained. The survivors were in
the water two hours. the Exchange Tel

by the steamship which brought them
into port. The Carpathia disappeared
very quickly.
Some survivors who have been landed

the crew killed were three fremen and
two trimmers, who were in the engine
room when the torpedoes hit that part
of the ship.
Members of the crew said that Just
after the passengers had breakfasted a
torpedo struck the vessel slightly for
ward of the engine room. and a minute
or two later a second torpedo crashed
into the engine room. There was no
panic. The passengers and the surviv-
ing members OF the crew got away in

For time It appeared as though the
Carpathia might remain afioat, but the
U-boat came to the surface and fired a
third torpedo. The liner filled rapidly
