cawe SO suddenly that no doubt we
did not fully realize what we were
bucking into. And even, when l saw
men by the dozen go down right
along side of me, boys who had come
overseas with me and went through
camp life together get riddled with
the machine gun bullets, didn't
seem to be able to realize that it was
so. We kept right on at high port
across the open field, where they had
direct flank fire on us, but we
couldn't see anything of them.
There were only three or four of us
left who had never been away from
the company since being up to the
firing line, one of them being my
pard, and he went down in this ac
tion. He got two in the body and
one in each foot, one arm also being
broken. His body wounds turned out
not to be so serious and l think that
he is going to pull through, at least
l hope so. These are the kind OF
things that impress US boys with the
awfulness of the whole thing. This

was to watch this road and to guard
the woods just across. BY rights
there should have been a whole com

US continuous front line, but they
hadn't as yet come up. so yom can
see the fix that we were in. There
was nothing to keep the enemy from
getting around US and behind US. 1t
wasn't long before 1 realized that
this was what they were doing. We
could hear them in the woods. Two
machine guns were all that we had
with Us covering the road and the
woods and I and the other lad had
our rifles and pistols. We turned
loose into the bush more than once
and tried to get more men on our
flank, but they couldn't spare them
off the line, as they were scattered
out rod apart. We laid there in 3
hole we had dug. firing into the
woods when ever we heard a noise.
They quietened down for a couple of
hours and we hadn't heard a sound,
when two men came out on the road

jump to those guns. We thought
they were coming at us in hundreds.

Company E. Homeward Bound

Contradictory reports have it that
Company E. is either just starting,
or well on its way home across the
Atlantic. One report has it that the
boys got started during the last week
in January. Letters that have been
more recently received showed them
as still on the French seaboard wait
ing their turn for embarkation for
the homeward bound voyage. The
generally accepted concensus Of
opinion is that they are enroute. and
should reach their Langdon homes
from the rehabilitation camp. which
in all probability will be Camp
Dodge, on or about March 18th.
There have been all kinds of cur
rent runners, one heard during the
present week was to the effect that
they had already landed in New
York, but this was later upon inves-
tigation found to lack proper contir-

SHOCKING HERESY.

"The argume mt is made that we must
make our purchases in Europe in order
to furnish the European peoples money
with which to pay their debts to the
United States In other words, having
made to European nations the loans
necessary to their success in the world
war, we must close the factories of the
United States in order to enable these
countries to pay US back. That is good
doctrine from the standpoint of the in
ternational bankers and the importers,
but it isn't good American doctrine, no
matter who utters it, Germany was de-
pressed economically and France was en-
riched through the payment in manufact-
ured goods, of the indemnity imposed upon
France at the close of the Franco-Prus-
sian war. This was the unexpected re-
suit of penalty laid upon a defeated
nation. We cannot afford to paralyze
American industry in order to help those
who hold European securities collect their
money quickly. They can afford to wait
on their creditors better than the Ameri-
can wage Garner can afford to wait for an
opportunity to make a living. The flood
ing of the markets of the United States
with foreign products during the next
few years means business paralysis in the
United States, and if anybody has to be
paralyzed industrially let it be some
country other than the United States. "

and ex-member of the Board of State
Assessors, that of all federal taxation
the state of Maine pays about one per
cent 1t is curious coincidence, but of
the federal aid for road building the state
of Maine is entitled to draw practically
one per cent. This means that if we do
not accept federal aid now available we
shall lose not only the amount OF the
federal aid but we shall pay in federal
taxation an equal amount, so that we will
lose practically twice the amount OF fed
eral aid which we can nave, provided
the bond issue is passed.
To summarize: Let us remember that
the State Highway Commission is at
tempting to first complete the live and
one-half per cent of our mileage includ-
ed In the system of state highways. AT
the same time the state and towns to-
gether are rebuilding ana ditional twelve
per cent of our mileage comprised in the
state aid highway system. Each OF
these systems is about one-half complet-
ed. These two systems together will
directly benefit and accommodate eighty
tive per cent to ninety per cent OF our
population. The federal government is
offering US today nearly 81, 500, 600 to ex-
pend on our state highway system, and
on July 1, 1920, will offer us 1902, 600
more for the same purpose. People who
have made study of the situation de-
clare that Maine cannot afford not to
take this money. Other states will get
it if Maine does not. The bond issue for
State highway and bridge construction
offers the only possibility of Names
being able to match the federal appropri-
ations and secure this federal aid.

MAINE ATTRACTS THEM.

Fifty five members of the Appalachian
Mountain Club left Boston on the 8
o'clock train last Saturday morning for
the camp on Moo sehead lake which is to
be open during the entire month of Au-
gust. The camp is located on an island
about four miles from Greenville village,
across the bay from Squaw mountain.

remainder of the month. During the
stay of both parties steamboat will be
at the disposal of the camp, as well as
numerous gasolene launches.
Each party will have opportunity to
climb Squaw mountain, Kineo, Spencers,
Lily Bay, Elephant and Boarstone. A
three or four days special tramp will be
planned to Katahdin, called "the best

Over There and Here

While our crops in the North can al
most be seen to grow, and the golden
grain fields of the South are already be-
ing gathered; while industry is putting
on more men and adding to its facilities;
while indications promise a period of
greater prosperity than any nation has
ever known, we should not, in cur ex-
pected success, forget the conditions
which exist across the Atlantic. We
have no occasion to be pessimistic-far
from it-but we do need to understand
conditions there, even though the picture
is painful one.
Frank Vanderlip, a banker of inter-
national experience, and close observer,
on his recent return from study of af-
fairs abroad, designates conditions there
as "paralyzed industry" and paralyzed
to an extent little dreamed of by most of
us here.
Europe lacks capital, raw materials,
and to large extent industrial organiza-
tion, all of which have been used up, or
scattered during the war. Resumption
of industries is also hindered through the
loss by death of millions of skilled and
experienced men, whose abilities required
years to grow, and which only time can
restore. Only partial crops will be raised
there this year, and live stock of all kinds
has been greatly depleted; fortunately
our own and Canada's grain crops prom
Use huge yield, and with restored ocean
traffic starvation conditions are improb-
able, but the full dinner pail is unlikely
there tor another year. 1t is to America
that Europe must look for relief, and it is
for US to keep a level head, both for Eu-
ropes sake and our own. This country
has the opportunity of centuries to be of
worldwide assistance in stabilizing and
restoring normal conditions, and we must
not fail in our duty, nor must we think
only of ourselves.
The Financial World reduces the whole
proposition to these few words: ''Capi-
tai must be husbanded, long credits ex-
tended, labor must not be impatient or
dictatorial, and capital must not make
greed its first principle. Europe is eco
nomically diseased and must be treated
with tenderness and care" We have
our industrial organizations but slightly
impaired; our machinery is in good work.
ing condition, being neither Junk nor OBJ
solete; we have raw materials; we have
the money to operate and produce, and
we have millions of skilled and unskilled
laborers. What we most need this mo-
ment is a spirit of reasonablenesS and
coopera ion on the part of both employer
and emll loye i'll order to stabilize produc-
ing and working conditions. This alone
can secure the largest permanent returns
to both. The occasional employer who
refuses to get down to earth and sit in
with mis- men to discuss matters fully, in
an honest heart-to-heart effort to get
matters right, is Just as unreasonable and
illogical as the sympathetic strike which
takes thousands of men from jobs that
are satisfactory, IN order to force the OBJ

one employer and few score or ew
