For over ninety years the Daily
Kennebec Journal has been the
chief spokesman Of Kennebec and
surrounding counties. J;
It's long career of usefulness and
service has had a powerful in
fluence for good on the lives and
characters of it's readers.
The faithfulness with VIII ich the
news is presented, the sane and
helpful interpreta ton of the press
ing problems Of troublesome times,
the uplifting word of encourage
ment for every worthy cause, pub
lie welfare, civic betterment and
community development, h a S es-
tablished it as one of the perma-
nent institutions in Maine homes.
Today at least 10000 Maine fami-
lies depend upon it for inspiration,
information, advice and entertain
ment.
In variety and interest of careful
ly sifted news no paper in the State
can surpass it. It's influence makes
for better home life, better bust
ness life, and better community
To be a Journal reader is to identi-
fly yourself with one of the most

one of the least expensive means
of self-advancement and self-edu-
cation at your disposal.

SOCKLESS SOLDIERS.

The Aremican Army, or Ct any rate
large part of it, is expected to go
sockless this summer. Not because
there's any lack of socks, but because
the army authorities want the men to
harden their feet
The heavy wooden socks are to give
place TO light hose of cotton or silk,
as the weather warns up. That is the
first step. After a few weeks it is
believed that most of the men can
give up socks altogether without much
hardship.
Shoes, of course, will not be dis
carded The soldiers will only go as
far as the famous Congressman,
"Sockless" Jerry Simpson. Direct
contact of their feet with their army
shoes, though uncomfortable at first.
is said to be of great value in tough
ening the feet so that when winter
| comes they can stand the rigors of
trench life. The plan is recommended
by allied leaders.
But let no knitter take this as a hint
to quit. Those wooden socks will be
wanted just as much as ever, for the
soldiers will put them on their cal
loused feet for warmth when winter
comes.

But the German Imperial Govern
ment. of course, calmly ignores the
fact, known 10 all the world, that Ger
many conducted her murderous raids
"one-sidedly' for nearly three years
in defiance of international laws 10
which she herself had subscribed, in
defiance of the universal practice of
civilized warfare, in spite of the re-
peated protests of her enemies and
the condemnation of the whole world.
Finally, in desperation. the Allies be-
gan reprisals. And the German gov
eminent blandly affects TO regard the
reprisals as if they were the original
offense. and those conducting them
the real offenders. They know that
they could stop the enemy raids at
any moment by simply stopping their
own
And the Germans, with those re-
taliatory bombs raining on their
heads-the only head that happen to
be accessible-still tolerate the gov
ernmental heads that are responsible.
When they really wake US. maybe
they'll drop a few bombs themselves.

Music a War Horror.

A grim story is told of an air raid on
Paris. If its truth were not vouched
for by the most respectable authority
one would say that it was an invention
of De Maupassant in his most macabre
vein. While the work of rescue was
going on by candle light in one of the
houses which had suffered most the
crowd was suddenly Mortified by the
defiant notes of the "Rakoczy March,"
blared out apparently by a strong brass
band. Every one was aghast at so
brutal an insult till the tenant of a
fiat on an upper floor said that he had
an orchestriOn which played that par
ticular tune. The explosion must have
set it in motion. At the risk of their
lives some firemen managed to reach
the machine, but in the dark, and not
knowing about its mechanism, they
could not stop 1t. Tt went on till the
floor on which 1t stood collapsed.

Lavish Expenditure for Luxuries
Means That the Prosperity of
the Country Is Assured, Is AS
sertion He Makes.

Because we are the most luxury
loving people on earth, we are also
the richest; therefore we have been
called upon to finance and to fight
TO a finish this most extravagant Of
all wars, and we are able to do it,"
said E. Leroy Pelletier, speaking on
prosperity" at Detroit.
"We hear a lot nowadays to the
effect that we Americans are a
wasteful and extravagant people.
And it is said by way of cOndemna-
ton, or at least of reproof. Yet
when the war had been precipitated
by the most frugal people on earth
except the more primitive races OF
savages-the extravagant nation was
asked to finance and to prosecute the
war to a successful finish.
"We expect to do this from the sur
plus left from our extravaganza. Yes
And 1t is because of our extravaganza
that we have the money to do it.
"China has great resources. Why
are not the Chinese wealthy? Be
cause they have worn the same style
of clothes for a thousand years, and
have subsisted on one diet-plain rice !,
The Japanese tried the same form of
frugality for centuries and just man
aged to subsist. When they began TO
copy American 'eXtravagances' they
became a world power.
at doesn't matter that the $4,000
roadster is a non-essential to the son
of a rich man, or that the luxurious
limousine could be dispensed with by
the rich man himself-that doesn't
matter.
1.-THE point is, those luXuries, those
extravagances, those nOn-essentals are
virtually essential to the millions OF
men and the families of the men whose
Jobs depend on the making of our
twentieth century vehicle.
1.-THE sewing machine, the phono-
graph, the electric light, the piano, the
furniture; yes, the very schools where
I'm the worllmen'S children are edu-
Gated, are the direct result of the crav-
ing on the part of the rich man for
those luXuries.
Here's to the wealthy man and to
the rich woman who is eXtrayagant-
for these play the game. They pass
the prosperity around. Rank s0phis-

If taken seriously they would result
in terrible suffering in n short time.
Food conservation, not by short ra-
tioning. but by charging our diet so as
to use those meats and grains that
cannot be shipped so as to supply our
allies with those that contain the most
nourishment in the most compact form
that is commendable. Every intel
ligent, patriotic American indorses it
and will gladly do his part.

of economics. And they are laws, not

DR.. A. d. Pentz, Jr., of New Bright

"a inches long be made of sheet steel

"0NE.SIDFD" DFCENCY.

For sheer Teutonic nerve, this ut
terance from the Prussian Minister OF
War takes the prize:
mo proposal has been received from
an enemy government to restrict
aerial attacks to fortified towns, and
we cannot one-sidedly undertake such
obligations"
II was the German government 5
answer to the request of a Socialist
member of the Reichstag. that Ger
many make an agreement with her
enemies to abandon air attacks on
open towns outside of the var zone
That member was moved by the grow
ing sentiment of the German popula-
ton that is exposed to allied attack.
The parliament of the Grand Duchy
of Baden recently took similar notice
of the growing peril by adopting a
resolution requesting the imperial
government to take action along this
line. The people of the Baden cities,
particularly Karlsruhe. Freiburg and
Mannheim, have seen a new light since
the British and French flying squad
rons have been bombing them with
murderous effect and demoralizing
repetition
Most of the Germans now recognize
that "baby-killing" is wrong. 1t is in
human, they say, for the Allies to
fight that way They even begin TO
suspect that possibly it is wrong for
Germans. There are no more school
holidays in German cities TO celebrate

1t has aimed high
But so often fallen shy.

The past three and half months of
this period have been under the pres
ent management, nevertheless, we
count the whole period of thirty-four
years as continuous and unbroken
one of useful service to the people of
this community, and wish to give
credit to whom it is due-the late
VIM. NJ Abbott, the founder of The
Capital, and his loyal helpers during
this long period of time For, thirty
four years ago, il took some nerve to
start a daily paper in Annapolis, and
n great deal more energy and indomit-
able will to keep it going. under the
circumstances, being so near Balti-
more and Washington and having so
little to offer by way of competition.
Running a daily newspaper is not
the sweetest and most pleasant work
on the earth to do. but ii is game
The paper can probably please some
of the people all the time and all of
the people sometimes CD but not all
of the people all the time. Very often,
too much is expected of a newspaper.
1t is "cussed" for not publishing the
news and il is "cussed" for doing it,.
The reason for this is the lack of
cooperation on the part of the people.
If the people would help the news
paper it would help them. It's bound
to work out that way. Give The Cap
ital your cooperation. The news
paper is really the biggest asset to any
community.
However, we are not unmindful of
our duty and responsibility. We
realize that newspaper is, tigura-
lively, mirror. We quote the follow
ing from the Publishers Auxiliary
which is applicable to our subject:
There is no person who can
exert a wider or more powerful
influence toward creating whole
some ideals. none who can boost
We humble editor, This is not
mere cant 1t is profound truth.
and the extent to which an edi-
tor realizes il, to that extent is
he able to serve and benefit his
community.
And the editor who has no
thought or ambition for his paper
but only a desire to make it earn
money for him, is unworthy of
the profession, is misfit. and has
made mistake in his calling,
and the sooner he gets out of it
the sooner will he confer a real
benefit on his own town and its
people"
We cannot tell what changes there
will be as the years go by, but if The
Capital keeps before it the above
ideals some one will write of its birth
day, each successive year, for thirty
four wears more
