Comparative peace prevailed for

inactivity. apparently engaged in
whipping their tired mon into shape

offset, are strengthening their posi-
tons AMI awaiting with supreme
confidence the next attack.
Both the French and British are
utilizing some Of their spare time in
harrassing the Huns with jabs and
thrusts Il the most aggrevating kind
here and there where it will most eff
fectually disturb the morale Of the
German soldiers and returning to
their own trenches without appre-
ciable losses. The French also

A Continuous Job.

Plans for an early adjournment of
Congress are rudely Jared by the
suggestion from the Treasury De-
partment that the governments needs
for more money will require addi-
tional revenue legislation this sum
mcr. The estimates for % billions of
expenditures next year-that is for
the year which will begin July first
do not correspond with the revenue
which may be had from the present
tax levies. This is not wholly unex-
pected, though the increase in esti-
mates exceeds anything which Con
gressioraI leaders have had in mind,
and the purpose was to postpone ad-
ditionai tax legislation until the De
cember session of Congress. To he
sure this would leave only three
months in which to consider the sub
tect, in additional to other matters OF
pressing Importance; and that time
might easily prove too short for prop
erly disposing of the problem. But
now MIR. McAdoo more than intimates
that the question must be taken ur
at once. If his view prevails il
means that Congress will have to sit
through the summer. This will worl
some hardship to individual members
who may wish to spend the time ir
campaigning; bYt on the whole il
may be beneficial to the country. Ir
fact, there are many who think that
in wartime it is the business of Con
gress to be in continuous session
anyway.

AS the war proceeds and as its tfag-

But, as DR.. MeserVe points out.
there are great numbers of people
who arc SLOW TO learn the lessons of
The war. Toe many are proceeding
along tie same old lines, guided by
the same old mistaken notions of
what is worthy of being striven for.

written in letters of fire on the. walls
Of every home and school, every office
and workshop, every store and fac

Hon. Joseph Daniels, secretary Of the
navy.
Charles Francis Meserve, president
of Shaw University, needs no intro
duction TO many Of our readers. They
have met him face to face, and they
have read his letters in the Kenne-
bee Journal. His loyal support Of
the Journal in the fight it made for
prohibition in 1911 holds him in
grateful remembrance. He is a grad
uate of Colby University. His first
wife was Abbie Mary Whittier of
Bangor and his second, Julia Frances
Philbrook Of Waterville. He was
born in \. Arlington, Mass, but he
has told US that he loves no place
better than the old Pine Tree State.
In the address Of DR.. Meserve, so
admirably served editorially by our
Southern neighbor, Maine friends will
find the following utterance in line
with his letters to the Kennebec
Journal:
! abraham Lincoln once said that
the rext problem to be solved after
that of human slavery was the whis-
key problem. The dallying Of the ma
tions with this terrible monster and
it's often accompanying evils, immor-
ality and gambling, have brought
disease, "a long train Of weakened
heredity, moral ruin and death. Mans
linhumanity to man instead of service
to all has been the nightmare of the
ages and has blackened the pages of

The Parade's Appeal

Editor of kenncbec journal:
Yes, Augusta had Red Cross
parade Sunday evening and one that
the city might well feel proud Of and
lecture in City hall which should
make the people who attended feel
the need If the contributions which
are being asked and dig down into
their pockets with will. realizing
that they are giving to cause
worthy Of their dimes and dollars.
AS that parade passed by you, |
wonder just what part or parts OF IT
appealed 10 YOU the most, just what
special part or parts you thought OF
most after the parade was over and
you had gone home and were going
all over il again In your mind. To
mo the most conspicuous, the most
impressive. was the two women In
black, wrapped about by their sor-
row, a sorrow which all could feel
but which none could share. They
had given their bit and their best.
Not dollars and cents, not time spent
in knitting and bandage making, al
though | doubt not they had given
them as ell but their sons. One of
the most precious things mother
can give, one of the most precious
things God ever gave a woman, a
son: and they are never coming back
to them. And they gave their lives
to- save US, you and me. from the
clutch of German kaiserism. Theirs
have been the sacrifice, theirs is the
sorrow We know what our part,
our small part, is to be during this
present Red Cross drive.
There was still another part Of the
parade which appealed to me and al
though not bespeaking 50 much of
sorrow, spoke volumes of bravery,
and that was the mothers who have
boys in The service.
Would we not. after seeing this
silent tribute of patriotism, feel like
doing our bit. be it ever so small,
toward helping our boys over there"
and making ourselves more loyal
American citizens. when we think
how small will be the effort beside
what these women are giving-sons
who may never come back. How in
significant. how small, seem few
paltry dollars beside such sacrifice
as theirs.
Sincerely.
A SPECTATOR.

What Is the Matter 2"

The war doubtless has provoked
few more thoughtful and wise utter
ances th;u that of Or. Charles F.
Meserve delivered TO the graduating
class at Shaw University yesterday.
Or Mescrve calls the worlds great
crime Indifference to individual re-
sponsibiIity." That is his answer to
the question. what is the matter with
the world Gains impudent question.

MeserVe asserts.
DR.. Meserve's plant is the same old
plant that we have heard all the
years ami that we know is founded
on the eternal verities. He pictures
the world as FILLED with multitudes
of people rushing on to the acquisi-
ton Of wealth. elegant homes and all
the deccivirg things money Will buy,
such as social prestige and political
power"
Now the question is how are these
rush for wealth and the things wealth
will bring? It's wrong. we all know
deep down in our hearts regardless
of what cur practice may be. but
how to put an end to it is something
of an undertaking How are we going
TO replace indifference to personal re :

about persona responsibility? The

will be received. Men are coming to
