THIS IS LABOR'S WAR.

This is labor's war. No element of the
people of this country, or of other coun-
tries, would suffer more than the work.
ers from a German victory-a German
peace.
What the Germans mean by strong
peace" German peace" was recently
expressed by Gen. Won Liehert, lead
ing Prussian conservative.
"For us there is but one principle to be
followed, and we recognize no other.
We hold that might is right. We must
know neither sentiment, humanity, con-
sideration, nor compassion. We must
have Belgium and the north of France.
France must be made to pay until she is
bled white. We must have strong
peace"
Mr. Gompers spoke well for American
labor when he said:
''The Republic of the United States is
not perfect; it has the imperfections of
the human-but it is the best country on
the face of the earth, and those who do
not love it enough to work for it, to
fight for it, to die for it, are not worthy
of the privilege of living in it.
II say to the Kaiser, say to the Ger
mans, in the name of the American labor
movement: You can't talk peace with
the American workers; you can't talk
peace with us; you can't talk to us at all
now. We are fighting now Either you
smash your Kaiser autocracy or we will
smash it for you.

The Chapman Concert.
Miss Harriet Mcconnell and Capt. Vernon
Stiles VocaIists with W.R. Chapman Pianist.

The long anticipated Chapman concert
was given at the Unitarian church Tues
day evening, when every available seat
was taken, with a number standing. The
only decorations were three beautiful flags
arranged in the center and on the sides of
the pulpit arch Belfast's always appre-
ciative audience was most enthusiastic
and their repeated calls for favorite selec-
ions were very graciously responded to
by the artists.
It was Miss Harriet McConnelps first
concert tour in Maine and her voice of
fine quality was listened to with rare de-
light. 1t is of wide range and under ex-
cellent control. In the duet selections her
good nature was very apparent and of the
contagious type.
Capt. Vernon Stiles, now well known
in Names musical circles, fascinated all
with his beautiful voice, his magnetic
personality, his graceful dignity combln-
ed with boyish traits and his intense 10y
altv to the Allied cause in the great
world war His kh aki uniform also add
ed materially to the impression and ac-
cented the theme uppermost in his mind
help for the Allied cause, While he
fascinated all music lovers with his vocal
work he was intensely entertaining in his
story of Camp Devens where he served
as musical instructor. His announce
ment that he was to come to Northport
this summer was received in a manner
that left no doubts as to his welcome.
With his family he hopes to spend three
m months at the Blaisdell cottage at Bay
side, where he plans to take advantage of
it's unusual attractions in all out of-door
sports. Capt Stiles has offered his ser
vices to the War Department at Wash
ington, D. c., as recruiting officer.
Prof. Chapman made characteristic
speech telling of his work in New York
city, advertising the next Maine Music
Festival and thanking Mr.. E. S. Pitcher
and all who had the charge of the details
of this successful concert,

The Red Cross.

All men leaving Belfast in the next
contingent are invited to call at the Red
Cross rooms any afternoon during the
week and obtain sweaters and socks,
