A FEW ALTERNATIVES

BY this time General Andrews
chief Of the Federal prohibition force
doubtless has arrived at a fairly
comprehensive understanding Of the
liquor situation. He has not been
addicted to talk SO his words are
more worthy Of attention. Here are
few Of them he put together for
public considerations:
Liquor traffic is the enemy OF
society today. If this serious, ag-
gressive, INSCRIPTIONS and altogether
powerful enemy of society Is allowed
to continue, society and government
will be undermined. I caution the
business man who helps to finance
this great outlaw force, the women,
and all the citizens of this country
that unless a determined stand is
taken by all organizations. State
az we'll as national, our civili-
cation evolved through the ages Will
fall"
The general holds up to us certain
alternatives, Chicago's chemist to
the coroner holds up others. He
says:
"Chicagoans imbibing bootleg
LIQUOR are drinking formaldehyde
ordinarily used to embalm the dead
and are gradually embalming oil
picking themselves. Death Is the
final penalty )
It would seem bad enough to pickle
ourselves in formaldehyde without

Is It possible that certain American

Is 1t possible that certain American
interests hope to secure personal
profit through failure of the French
to pay their debt to US? Are they
planning to secure a cancellation of
the debt, hoping thereby to loan the
French people more capital at a high
rate Of interest, or just what are
they after? These queries are sug-
gested by propaganda that has been
appearing in Paris editions Of GER
tain American papers. From that
the French are led to suppose, I'M
less they happen to know better. that
the American people are willing to
cancel the debt, that Italy has made
grave mistake. All this must be
very embarrassing to the French gov
eminent that is endeavoring to get
the country's feet planted on more
secure financial foundations. Those
responsible for such disloyalty to
truth If not to their country should
be exposed to publicity. They de-
serve worse.

The big meteorite which shot over
South Portland and Falmouth, be-
tween 10 and II o'clock Sunday
morning, and was reported to have
disintegrated about two miles west
of Brunswick, was visible from
Biddeford. Among the Biddeford
people who got a good view of the
phenomenon was Edward II. Cote,
projectionist at the Central theater.
He CHANGED to look toward the sky,
in the direction of Portland, and saw
the meteorite shoot from the sky.
He said that it looked like a big bali
of fire with q long tail attached. 1t
was travelling at terrific speed.
Mr.. Cote asked his companion if he
had seen it, but the latter had not
noticed anything and accused Mr..
Cote of seeing things. Others who
saw the meteorite say that it re-
sembled a flying mass like a ball of
phosphorescence.
