Although many of the New England
paper mills are closed at the present time
on account of strikes against a reduction
in wages, the receipts of pulpwood at
Portland during the coming summer bid
fair to be quite heavy, several steamers
having been chartered for the entire sea-
son. The first to arrive will probably be
the Canadian Trapper, one of the boats
of the Canadian Merchant Marine fleet,
which is expected to sail from a Cape
Breton port for Portland. 1t is believed
a Shipping Board steamer will follow
her few days later. The Norwegian
steamer Sangstad is also reported to have
been fixed for the season for the Cape
Breton to Portland route.

in the coaling stations, that on an aver

IN A SWEET PICKLE

The confectioners held convention
at Atlantic City, and their chief subject
of discussion seems to have been the
business tragedy" that is making them
''put 80 cent sugar into 20-cent candy"
That is sad, of course, from their view
point but the very situation is no worse
than that confronting every industry in
the country. Every manufacturer has
had to write off huge sums on his books
to account for depreciation in value of his
inventory bought at peak prices. Every
farmer, too, has had to pocket as loss
the difference between the -esent low
prices of food products and the high
cost of equipment, interest, and other
items that entered into their production.
The truth is that all such losses are
necessary incidents to the process of de-
tlation that is now going on. Most men
have discounted the drops in value and
are theoretically working for future pro-
duction and sales. 1t is up to the candy
manufacturers to reconcile themselves to
the inevitable, and shape their business
accordingly.

ference.

About two months ago party of
cougressmen went to Panama The pur-
nose of the trip was to become acquaint-
ed with the surroundings and to investi-
gate the operation of the canal and the
minor businesses which the government
was carrying on in the canal zone. Rep
resentative Mckinley of Illinois was a
member of the party. After his return
he made some remarks to his fellow
members in the House which seem to
show conclusively that the government
management in the canal zpne is little
better than its management bf the rail-
roads. He said that during. the con-
struction of the canal about 1000 white
American citizens were employed and
about $4,000 natives of JanAaica and

1t. Neumann commanded the subma
rine which sank an English hospital ship
loaded with wounded on the way 70 Lon
don. He was tried for the offense by the
German Suprem, Court. He admitted
that he knew it was hospital ship and
confessed that he ordered the firing of
the torpedo which sank the vessel with
hundreds of people on board. 1t was a
wanton, murderous act and is recognized
as being such by every nation on earth
which has any pretence of being civilized.
Neumann was acquitted on his statement
that he had obeyed orders. Whose orders?
This would be pertinent question if there
were the slightest probability that the
men higher up would ever be brought to
trial and punished. A precedent has been
established. The farce is near it's end.
About dozen of the German war lords
should be delivered to the Allies and shot
at sunrise.

1t is said that the Secretary of War
will soon put into effect the law which
provides for the dismissal of inefficient
army officers. We have no doubt there
are great many of them, and that there
are great number of lesser rank in the
army who have executive ability, pat
riotism plus, and are intensely eager to
do good work. One hundred per cent
efficiency is the crying need of the hour.
We hope the official broom will he vigor
ously used, not only by the Secretary of
War but by every other cabinet officer
until the useless and the inefficient have
been swept out of every department.
Nearly half of our national expenditures
are for the upkeep of our government
agencies, The tax-paying public has
right to demand that inefficient people
shall not be on the pay roll of these
agencies.

and life were in evidence and added to
the enjoyment of the day.

One of the places in Portland that was
decorated on Memorial day is little
known to most Maine people, although of
course seen daily in passing by scores of
local people. 1t is the last resting place
of 81 soldiers of the War of 1912. on the
lower side of the Eastern Promenade,
near Quebec street. The plot is enclosed
by an iron fence between granite col
umns, with rough granite boulder in the
center, partly finished and bearing the in
scription:
"Within this enclosure were buried 81
soldiers captured by the English at the
battle of Queenstown, Can, in the War
of 1921, and died in hospital here while on
their way to Boston for exchange"
History says that 900 Americans sur
vived the battle, all being captured. An
epidemic broke out on the transport TAX
ing them to Boston and number of them
were landed at Portland for treatment.

SEEING Is BELIEVING

Japan is reported as willing to return
Shantung to China at an early date. Let
US hope the report is true. She would
have evacuated the country long ago had
it not been for the grant of her Shantung
demands at the peace conference by the
American President in return for the
Japanese vote for his league of nations.
The resentment over the arrangement
that was expressed by the Republicans
of the Senate during the discussion of
the treaty helped to convince the Japa-
nese that their tenancy of Shantung was
at too big a cost in international pres
tige.

TELL HIM NOW

If with pleasure you are viewing any
work man is doing,
If you like him or you love him, tell
him now;
Don't withhold your appreciation till the
parson makes Grafton
And he lies with snowy lilies DER his
brow;
For, no matter how you shout it, he won't
really care about it;
He won't know how many teardrops
you have shed.
If you think some praise is due him, now's
the time to slip it to him,
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead.
More than fame and more than money is
the comment kind and sunny,
And the hearty, warm approval of a
friend,
For it gives to life SAVIOR, and it makes
you stronger, Drawer,
And it gives you heart and spirit to the
end.
If he earns your praise bestow it; if you
like him, let him know it;
Let the words of true encouragement
be said.
Do not wait till life is over and he's I'M
derneath the clover,
For he cannot read his tombstone when
he's dead.
