Hope In America.
RI the Associated Press.

GENEVA, Sept. 3.-The hope of the
council. of the League of Nations OF
sa tisfying the United States on man
dates was reflected in the councils con-
sideration to-day of the American reDy
to the principal Powers on that question.
The note from Washington was not
officially before the council. but the
of Great Britain. France.

language, by younger and inexperi-
enced men of lower grade.
OF course all agitators and real
lovers of liberty refer to the Amritsar
massacre as typical of British rule in
India and of British character every
where 1t was black episode. but
isolated in Indian history and an act
of i'll Judgment and unnecessary
harshness by general who has since
been degraded
My object in writing this Is not to
eulogize British rule in India, but to
point out that If 1t fails. or is over
thrown. there is no substitute but
frightful anarchy and another source
of da. ger and weakness to white pres
tige throughout the world. Also
want to give warning to political
speakers. especially the Sim Fein,
that in using India as an example of
British tyranny" they are not only
proving themselves guilty of gross
ignorance of Oriental conditions and
mentality, but are playing into the
hands of the revolutionary agitators
who do not care one rap for India or
human liberty, but desire to unloose
devils throughout a world in which
all men of good will are striving for
universal peace.

Disappointed by De valera.

It is far cry from India to Ire
land. although both names are used
together as reproaches against British
rule, but | cannot let this article go
without a reference to the chances for
Irish peace. Like most English peo-
pie who have set their hearts on lib
erty for Ireland within the federation
of British peoples, am profoundly
depressed by the irreconcilable atti-
tude of Eamon de Valera and the
Dali Eireann to the British offer of
dominion home rule subject to certain
conditions capable of explanation and
enlargement.
1t seems to me that the Irish leaders
are revealing medieval minds, still
looking backward to old traditions and
thought and failing woefully to adj
vance to the new ideals of world peace
and cooperation. Intense nationalism
which sees liberty only in absolute
isolation is old fashioned and retro
grade. 1t is as though certain States
in the United States were to repudiate
their allegiance to American unitv.
De Valera rejects liberty by his refusal
% obedience to the generous loyalties
which safeguard all British peoples.
! am told that Irish leaders secretly
express themselves as being willing to
accept dominion home rule with cer-
tain alterations to the British offer If
the British Government will bring
pressure to bear on Ulster to acknowl-
edge the supremacy of the Dali
Eireann. That is impossible without
treachery to Ulster, and much as
deplore the Ulster dog in the
manger" policy, I dislike treachery
still more.
There is still time to bring persua-
sion to bear on the Irish leaders on
both sides, and American opinion
above all is Of value in this direction
| profoundly hope that 1t will be ex-
pressed still more strongly in favor
Of acceptance of the British offer
Churches also should raise voice on
behalf OF peace. reminding men OF
Christian faith like the Catholic lead
ers in Ireland, that there is a higher
law even than that of liberty and that
those who draw the sword shall per-
ish by the sword. In my humble opin-
ion the first man who draws the sword
in Ireland now after an offer of lib
erty so full and free is a traitor to all
humanity and to Christian laws

Bridge the Kennebec
MaddOcks Pleased at Support

Hon. Luther Maddocks Of Boothbay,
in his address at the meeting of the
three directories of the Chamber Of
Commerce and Agriculture league, at
the Augusta house Tuesday, January
18th. explained in detail the proposed
building of a bridge between Bath and
of the directorates get behind the ac-
ton to build this bridge, pointing out
wherein the state as a whole would be
benefited. This met with unanimous
approval by all present.
The writer later learned from Mr.
Maddocks that the construction of a
bridge at this point would mean a saw
ing of over $3lS,000 annually to the bus
mess of the State. For Mr.. Maddocks
said there would pass over this bridge
an estimated traffic of 10000 automo-
biles, 22.000 freight trains, 10000 passen-
ger trains. and over 10000 persons
riding on the trains, during the year.
He further pointed out that as q
measure in solving some of the trans
portation problems of the Maine bust
ness that adequate bridges were of
great Importance. and that this bridge
at the present time is most needed.
Mr.. Maddocks has devoted a great
deal of his time in the interest OF this
bridge, and feels that it is only just
and right that he secure from the pub
lie all the support possible toward
the immediate construction of the
bridge. Among a number of the prom
inent business and professional men
who are now lending their support of
the project, are Hiram Kicker. Byron
n. Giles, w. T. Cobb, George w Goe-
thals, II. NJ. McDougal. and w. T. Pat
terson. While these men would be
personally benefited, they merely rep
resent in this case the sentiment Of the
people of the State, says Mr.. Maddocks.
Asked about the proposed railroad
from Boothhay Harbor to South Uew-
castle Mr.. Maddocks said the poles are
all set, the road-bed has been surveyed,
the capital stock has been nearly all
subscribed and arrangements have
been made for marketing the bonds
whenever conditions become favorable.
The road will be broad gauge and the
storage battery variety of cars so

Graves of Americans
Being Well Cared
For by Legion Boy

Colonel Albert Greenlaw, COM
mander of the Department Of Maine,
American Legion, speaks highly OF
the work of the American Legion
boys in France in looking after the
graves there Of their departed COM
rades. Speaking of it today, Colonel
Greenlaw said that Francis e. Drake,
commander of the American Legion
in France, who recently sailed for
Europe after 4-months' sojourn in
this country, said that every grave of
an American soldier in France would
be decorated on Memorial day.
The American Memorial day has
been internationalized, as tribute
to the fallen of the A. z. F., by the
recently formed International Couu-
Gil Of Veterans Associations. which
embraces men OF all the Allied ma
tions, and through this, the ceremo-
MES will this year be much more ex-
tensive than last year, when the Le-
gion was practically alone in the at
tempt to honor the graves of fallen
Americans on foreign soil.
President Nillerand and Marshal
Foch will represent France on Memo
rial day and the other Allied nations
will also cooperate. Commander
Drake hopes to have several promi-
nent Legionnaires and public men
among the American speakers.
Colonel Greenlaw says Commander
Drake hopes to revisit the United
States again in November to attend
the third annual convention of the
Legion at Kansas City. Marshal
F'och is very DESTROYS of greeting the
Legion here, Commander Drake said,
and will be at the convention, if the
political situation in Europe permits
