LET US BIB SENSIBLE.

The German guns which have been
bombarding Paris are located some 10
miles from that city. Doubtless the cost
of these guns amounted to millions OF
dollars. The daily cost of manning these
Guns and of the ammunition used must
amount to thousands. There is no possi-
bility that all this expense and human
effort will aid, in the slightest degree,
the military efforts of the Germans. A
few old men, and helpless women and
children have been killed or MANNED,
Germany has once more exemplified her
inbred barbarity, and the civilized world
has been Enthusiastically shown the Ger
man menace to its future freedom and
safety. This inane effort to take inno-
cent life, to burn and destroy, has react
ed, because the only effect it has had on
the war is a quickening of the determine
ton of the Allies to crush Prussianism.
At Midvale, where we are trying to make
some ordnance for our troops in France,
it is reported that big gun is being made
which will have range of ITO miles. II
this report is true an investigation of the
sanity of the man who ordered the gun
should be made at once, and the labor and
material employed in it's construction
should be applied in some practical direc-
ton. OF course it would be pleasing to
our vanity to read that an American gun
was hurting shells into Berlin, but it will
be far better, however, to hurl shells and
shrapnel into the ranks of the Kaiser's
forces in France. The Germans are good
fighters, but at the same time they are
braggarts. Brag is a German germ and
it must be admitted that it has found
Judgment in the United States. This is
not time to make mammoth guns Just
to show that we can Guido the enemy at
long range. it is time to wage prac-
teal warfare against the forces which
are facing our boys on the fighting line.
We cannot believe that our ordnance de-
partment is wasting labor, material and
money in making a gun which will throw
a shell ITO miles or even distance of 20
miles. Such a procedure would be fool
ish because we have no use for such a
gun, and we have an immediate and
pressing need of ordnance which will
kill Germans at a closer RANGE
T. Herbert White, sheriff of Penobscot
county, has been summoned before the
Governor and Council to show why he
should not be removed from office. The
hearing commenced today, June 6, and it
will doubtless be spirited and entertaining.
1t is alleged that Sheriff White has failed
to enforce the prohibitory liquor law and
it is further alleged that January Is, 1918,
he failed to serve papers from the supreme
court. We are Informed that whisky
cannot be obtained in Bangor for less
than SIG a gallon. We do not know
whether this high price is due to an in
sufficient supply, an increased demand or
to the hazards of sale which Sheriff White
has imposed upon the dealers. Perhaps
this hearing will throw some light upon
this subject.

BENNETT SNUBBED KAISER.
Late Publisher of New York Herald
Always Had Aversion for Ger
man Emperor,

New York Times: ames Cor
don Bennett, proprietor OF the New
York Herald, who died early IN
MAY, was never an admirer OF Viii
helm II.
Bennett was the friend Of mon
archs, the late King Leopold OF Bel
GUM and the late assassinated King
Carlos of Portugal were among his
best friends, and he was we'll &C
quainted with King Edward VII.
For the German emperor however,
he appears always to have had an
aversion.
His yacht, the Lysistrata, was ly-
ing at Beirut one day some years
ago when the kaiser, in the Hohen-
zollern, and accompanied by several
German warships, arrived at that
port. The "Commodore' was on
shore at the time, and as he came
back he noticed with a frown that
the skipper of his yacht had dress
ed ship" in honor of the emperor,
as had the master OF every other
vessel in the harbor.
As the captain met him at the
gangway, Mr.. Bennett with a
glance aloft, demanded, What's all
that about" "
81 thought" replied the captain,
that il you were on board you
would order it done"
Never mind what you thought.
Hereafter, when you are in the
slightest doubt about what l want
done, do nothing. In that way you
can always please me. Order those
flags down" Then he went on to
the bridge and gave the order to
steam out to sea.
As a matter of fact the captain
Of the Lysistrata was never her
commander in Mr.. Bennett's estima-
ton. He always referred to the
other as the first officer" he him
self was in command. He had
masters License, and when at sea he
stood watch regularly and plotted
courses-in fact, took entire charge
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1918-06-16

OF the navigation, and he often took
the wheel.
Some years ago the Gordon Ben
nett automobile races were run IN
Germany. The Berlin correspond
ent of the New York Herald was
semi-officially approached by the
Imperial Automobile Club, and att
erward officially by the German
foreign office, to know whether Mr..
Bennett would attend the race, in
which case he would be the guest OF
the kaiser. His majesty would not,
however, send an official invitation
unless assured in advance that II
would not be refused. The corre-
spondent Immediately journeyed to
Paris to inform Bennett of the stu
ton. He merely smiled, shrugged
his shoulders and said nothing.
Three days later the Paris papers
announced that he had left on his
Yacht for a months cruise in the
Mediterranean.
This aversion, apparently, never
left him. 1t was natural from Mr..
Benefits residence in France and
from his understanding Of European
affairs that his newspapers should
have been most active in support
of the allied cause from the minute
war broke out in 1914, but about
their antagonism to Germany there
was from the first bitter intensity
which came to other American pub
lications later when German atroci-
ties became known.

Headquarters Italian Army May
2S.-(By Nail D.-Three of the mon
ster type of Austrian hydroplanes
recently have been brought down
almost intact, and with their occu
pants are now behind the Italian
lines. They are called the XIII,
1883 and K-3SS. All of these X
type OF machines are enormous
structures with three motors of 400
horsepower, carrying three men and
a thousand pounds of bombs.
The KISS was the last to be cap
tured after it had made an early
morning flight of observation near
Venice. Crossing the Piave lines
just back of Venice, the big car
scattered bombs on the camps and
sprayed its machine gun on the men
below. But a fortunate shot from
an anti-aircraft gun put hole
through the motor OF the big ma
chine. 1t Immediately struck out 10
sea, but in it's wounded condition
it struck the water with crash and
capsized.
In the obscurity the wreck foated
for some time without being locat-
ed, but the cries for help from the
drowning aviators at last brought
rescue party from the Italian lines.
All of the operators were wounded,
two of them seriously. The big ma
chine was towed into the naval base
where it joined the growing collec-
ton of trophies of war.
London, May 5.-No longer are
British soldiers on leave seen
streaming out Of the big London
railroad stations with trophies OF the
great war in the form OF German
helmet, rifle, bayonet or a few odd
bombs and shells to decorate the
walls of their home. An army or
der long since issued, but only very
recently put rigidly into effect, for
bids the carrying off OF these tro-
phies from the battle field, and now
hawk-eyed military police watch the
leave boats.
But all the orders in the world
and all the precautions ever invent
ed will not stop souvenir hunters.
And the Tommies have the craze
worse than the nimblehngered gen
try who used TO specialize in rail
way straps, hotel soap and towels
and chips Of granite from old cas-
ties.
To carry the stuff home the sol
diers will try all sorts of subterfuge.
They will carry their souvenirs
about with them from rest billets to
the trenches, sometimes even retus-
ing to dump it when going into ac-
ton. They guard their treasures
like diamond for month and will
sacrifice little comforts that mean
so much in the line in order to stow
a harmless German bomb o. the
fuse cap of shell in their sack.
Men have left their own rifles with
the quartcrmaster or in some un
authorized quarter and carried Oft
German one in waterproof case
past the picket at the boat Pieces
OF bombs and shell have been bound
