GLAD COLONIES ARE FREED
sessions Hope They viii Remain
Under British Rule.

London.-German cruelty exercised
toward the natives of her former col
onies is outlined in the statements of
native chiefs in the Samoan islands,
the Kameruns, Togoland, Southwest
Africa, and East Africa, in white
book published by the colonial Office.
The statements show that the natives
everywhere hope to remain under Brit
ish rule
In few cases the chiefs said they
were afraid to say anything lest their
land be restored to the Germans, who
had threatened them with what they
would do when the war was over. This
fear, however, failed to prevent a vir-
tually unanimous appeal for retention
of the British flag.
The horrors of the German rule in
Southwest Africa, the white book says,
already are too well known to require
repetition, but the same system of
tyranny was found in other German
colonies in a greater or less degree.
The burden running through all the
statements of the natives of Togoland
and the Kameruns is "fogging. fog
ging, fiogging," especially in connec-
ton with forced labor on plantations.

notified of ratification by sufficient
number of states. This may be de-

the question must be submitted to
referendum vote of the people, the
liquor interests will make a big fight
to prevent it's acceptance. Oppo-
nents of the measure claim that the
referendum will be required in
twenty-five states. Maine is one of
these. The right of referendum wi |

Nebraska was the thirty-sixth state
to ratify the amendment, and Mis-
souri, and Wyoming followed few
hours later. Under the terms of the
amendment, the manufacture, sale
and Importation of intoxicating
liquors must cease one year after
ratification, but prohibition will be

PANCAKES IN OSTEND
Correspondents Get First Made
There in Four Years.
Hotel Manager Tells of Sufferings al
the Hands of the Ger
mans.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
ish Front.-The first pancakes made
in Ostend in four years were served
the other day at the Crown hotel. But
the American correspondents got them
under false pretenses.
They had had very good lunch of
vegetable soup, roast beef, Drowned
potatoes and peas.
what have you for dessertf" was
asked the exceedingly attentive wait
ress. Her face fell. ''There is moth
ing, messieurs," she said plaintively.
mo fruit, no sweet"
In a moment she was back with the
manager, who had been lowering near
the door.
"The manager and the chef will be
happy to make you pancakes" she an
nounced delightedly. "We got some
milk and -four from the British ships
today. and are able to make pancakes
for the first time in four years" Then
she added solemnly: "The manager
and the chef will do it, because you
are English"
Whoever cooked the pancakes had
lost no mastery of the art in four
years. The American correspondents
were served four pancake master
pieces each sprinkled with sugar.
They were so good that we had no
qualms later when we were told that
the roast beef of Ostend was really
roast horse.
The Grown hotel, Ostend's finest,
had suffered at the hands of the Ger
mans. The manager showed us
through two floors, pointing out where
wall ornaments, chandeliers and ev-
erything of copper had been torn off.
All wool had been plucked from the
mattresses. Nine thousand bottles of
wine had been carted away. But the
hotel had receipts for everything
stolen!
Nor was this ALL The hotel was
set apart for German officers, and it
had been a great trial to endure the
tyrannical mood of most of them.

Hopewell, ya.-Hopewell, the ''wick-

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,

condition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. hen this tube is infiamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing

through the blood on the mucous surfaces of

A HANCOCK COUNTY BOOK
''Skipper John of the Nipbus' by
a former Lamoine Man.

"a JtdH
Readers OF THE AMERICAN are inter-
ested to learn Of the book, skipper John
of the Nimbus," written by Raymond
Mcfarland, formerly of LamoIne. 1t is
a story Of adventure OF the deep-sea fisher
man, and local readers have no difficulty
in recognizing, under the fictitious name
of Comberton, the town where the open
ing chapters are laid, and find interest in
characters which, il not coupterparts OF
we'll known people OF the town, are at
least true to type.
Seven years ago Mr., Mcfarland wrote
"The History of New England Fisheries.
During his early life he sailed from Glou-
cester with the mackerel feet, and writes
with knowledge of his subject gained
by hard experience.
skipper John of the Nimbus" has met
with fattering reception at the hands OF
the book reviewers. The New York
Tribune says of it:
If we were inclined to draw comparisons,
we might say that it is TO be braeketed along
with Kiphng's Captains Courageous" Ger
tt inly not since that memorable volume have
we met with Down East" fishing story that
more favorably impressed than this.
There is not false note in it. nor an uncer-
tain bit Of drawing.
The Springfield Republican says:
For his first story, skipper John Of the
Nimbus," Raymond Mcfarland turns to the
perilous and romantic pursuits of the Amer
lean deep-sea fishing feet. He tells a most
entertaining tale, spiced with dangerous ex-
ploits, healthy riyalries, and a battle Of wits
with constituted authority. A bresthless in
terest holds the reader from the outset. The
author seems to know intimately the fisher
men and their hazardous calling. This, with
his keen intuition for well-restrained dra-
matte effect. makes the story leader in its
field.
The Macmillan Co., New York. are the
publishers; price $50. Miss j. A..
Thompson Of Ellsworth has the book on
sale.
