Hagan is president, and which he is
expected to pick, has not yet at
tained its first birthday and cannot,
under an old law, become a legal
newspaper until it has rounded out
a full twelve month. Kidder county

American Silks to the Fore
1From the Detroit Free Press

tFrom the Detroit Free Press
Evidence of the rapid development
of the silk industry in the United
States is discernible, not alone in the
increase in quality and value of the
raw silk imports. in recent years. but
also in the appreciation of the merits
of the fabrics produced on American
looms. In 1917, the last year for
which figures are available nearly
34.000.000 pounds Of raw silk were i'm
ported. valued at over $54 900, 000--a
substantial increase over previous
figures and proof Of the growth of the
business.

That the buyer also included some

to American taste and skill and an
indication that the American woman

Damage by the Beaver.

That there is such a thing as being
too busy has been proved by the bea-
Yer of Maine, for these most expert Of
woodsmen and dam builders have Gu:
down with their sharp, spadeiike
teeth SO many poplar and white
birch trees. and have, with logs and
brush, constructed so many dams to
flow timberlands, that the lumber
men complained to the Legislature,
with the result that many districts
have been opened to hunters and
hundreds of licenses issued for the
taking of these animals. which for
many years had been protected by
law at all seasons in all parts of the
State.
No one knows how much timber
has been cut down by the busy bea-
Yer or how many square miles of
valuable growth ruined through the
flooding of the lands by beaver dams,
but the lumbermen say the money
loss thus caused is far in excess of
the value of all the beaver that
ever lived in Maine. SO loud became
the complaints that the game COM
miSSiOnerS suspended the protective
laws in many localities where beaver
abound and issued licenses to kill the
animals.
The beaver fiourishes in many
parts of the vast timber area Of
Maine. and has gained rapidly in
numbers under the protection # the
law. There are scores OF beaver
dams in upper Penobscot, Washing
ton. Aroostook. Somerset, Franklin
and Oxford counties. Some of these
dams are several hundred feet in
length and so strongly and skilfully
constructed rs to challenge the ad-
miration Of engineers. On Rennett

German leniency.

For months the German govern

Berlin. The embattled disciples Of
anarchy were repeatedly worsted in
bloody fights, but government VIC
tory was followed by no adequate
punishment Of. rebels and outlaws.
Emboldened by the consistent timid-
ity of the government the Reds have
grown more and more vicious and
cruel in their warfare. Wholesale
massacres of prisoners and torture OF
many of their victims marked the
latest Spartacan outbreak.
At last Ebert and Noske have
adopted a sterner policy. In retalia-
ton for the unspeakable cruelties of
the Spartacans the government mill
tary authorities have ordered many
executions. and there is also mani
tested a disposition to let the soldiers
deal as they see fit with the Reds
who fall into their hands. Such re-
suits are likely to give Berlin peace
for some time to come. They must
be far more effective than leniency
and moral suasion.
The Paris commune Of 1871 was an
early manifestation Of the spirit of
Bolshevism. After the terrible cruel
ties perpetrated by the communards

Spartacans are but the local German
manifestation of the spirit of inter
national Bolshevism that seeks TO de-
stroy all nations and to subvert the
social order. But, inasmuch as they
are Germans, the German majority
has found it difficult to treat them
even with a small measure of sever

bayonet Belgium babies but who can
scarcely bring himself to shoot a

deed a strange contradiction. The
