morrow,
We shall not find in its accustomed
place

SIDETRACKED

The people of the United States with
almost entire unanimity desired that the
great nations of the world should Join in
an agreement for limitation of arma-
ment, especially of their navies. In
response to that desire President Harding
invited the most powerful of the foreign
nations Of the world to send representa-
lives to Washington to sit in conference
with representatives. of this country. The
purpose of this conference clearly set
forth in that invitation, was limitation
Of ornaments and nothing else 1t was
soon manifest, however, that the invita-
tion would not be accepted unless the far
eastern and some other questions were to
be considered. This shows that the for
eign governments, notably Great Britain
and Japan, look upon limitation of arma-
ments as being merely secondary propo-
sition. Apparently they have sidetracked
that which should have clear right of
way in the conference.

Waldo County Bridge.

| Over the River P Passagassawakeag,
| Where its waters meet the tide,
| we have built a noble structure,
Long and strong ana amply Wide
And it rests upon the bedrock,
Where Penobscots ebb and flow
Saves the piers beneath its arches
As the seasons come and 60.
There twill breast the wave and tempest
Through the long succeeding years:
That artistic superstructure
On those solid granite piers.
And will bear its traffic burdens
Ages after you and
Have been summoned from Earth's la
bors
To those mansions in the sky.
And the feet of unborn millions
Will tread its spacious aisle
With the rushing motor wagons
Of every make and style.
And to those unborn millions
We devise this "harbor gem"
And trust they'll e'er protect it
AS our legacy to them.
And so may it bind together
The East side with the West;
That twill make this seaside borough,
OF New England towns, the best.
The pride of Waldo County,
Yea, the envy of our State;
A city small of stature,
But in all things else, so great.
Now we dedicate this structure
To those souls who ne'er would yield,
But whose bodies now are lying
Cold and stiff in "Flanders Field"
And We'll hold in grateful mem'ry
All their valorous deeds of war,
Hoping for that democracy
They gave their Lifeblood for.
And may we e'er remember
That War, at best, is He'll,
Where the worlds best wealth and man
Are destroyed by shot and shell.
That the Worlds great waste in armies,
And navies if you please
Would build concrete boulevarde
Across the Western Seas.
And when mankind gets civilized,
And battle flags are furled,
A bridge of human brotherhood
Will gIrdle this old world.
And may God haste the morning
When our eyes shall ope to see
The bright and glorious dawning
Of a World Peace Jubilee.

BY EDWARD w. PICKARD.

Premier Lloyd George, talking to
the Welsh Presbyterian general as
sembly, admits that he is disappointed
because, despite the formation of the
League of Nations, some of the peO-
pies of the world insist on fighting,
and because the spirit of national
hatred, greed and pride is as domi-
nant as ever, Notwithstanding the les
sons of the late war He says he is
still all for the league, but fears that,
unless public opinion in all civilized
nations is better instructed, the league
will become Il breeding ground of in
trigues and feuds which might lead
to the greatest conflict yet witnessed,
Some small nations that have been
liberated, says the prime minister,
seem to have been rendered tiercer by
being chained so long, and they APP
parently do not fear the interference
Of the league nor have they any re-
Spect for its decisions. In this Lloyd
George undoubtedly was alluding to the
Poles, and the situation in Upper 81
lesia justifes his feeling. The Ger
man defense forces there decline to let
20 of the ground they hold and reject
the plan for a neutral zone unless 1t
he created in territory which the Poles
control The insurgent Poles, though
they have been retiring before the ad-
vance Of the British troops, are said
to be leaving a well armed force of
civilians in their wake. Great Britain
is blaming France for CONTINUED fail
ure to cooperate in the restoration
of order in Siesia 1t is admitted in
London that the work Of clearing up

and Berlin learns that the ,lterallied
commission at Oppoln has decided TO
cease all military operations uqtil the

draw from she territory east of the

Is it any wonder the usually opri'

Moving further easL On the world
map, one finds equally unpleasant con
ditlons and prospects, both on the
Russian border and in Turkey. With
the coming of summer soviet Russia
has reganed its c0ckiness. In the
councils of the leaders, it is reported,
Lenin and others who were inclined
to relative conservatism were out
voted and Trotzky and his fellow radi-
calls were given their way. If dis
patches from that part Of the world
are to be believed, their way will lead
to another great attempt to invade
and sovetize the countries on Rus
sias western borders, and already
huge armies are being massed for the
enterprise These troops are well
drilled, often by former German Off
GERS, and have ample supplies of arms,
ammunition and food. Their morale
IS said to be fair, owing to the care
given them and their families by the
government.
In what used to be the Turkish EN-
plre, both the Turkish nationalist and
the Bolshevists are so active that the
allies are becoming alarmed. This is
evidenced by the change of their atti-
tude toward the warfare which the
Greeks are carrying on against the
Turks. King Constantine, who was
being left to do the best he could
alone, now is receiving some encour-
agement and indirect aid The Brit
ish. for instance, have taken over the
Ismid defenses, thus releasing a con
siderable body Of Greek troops to take
