It is tiie Germans who sowed this ."grain; but $hoy aro gone, and It Is .', wo who shall harvest It. .Except for theso crops, which " lliey had me,ant for themselves and frwrifchi't.liey hadrnot the,' time to .destroy, they have, as a matter of course, sacked everything, even ''where 1 they had no military ex. cuse. There . Is no village,, no church, ''iio" cluster of buildings that ,they linve not sedulously and hate fully .destroyed. , - J Ah, but' we are ovei1" and done, wlth tho evil faces of the Huns 'in their greon slacks! For now I am near the trenches, and their precious lives may not be hazarded here, within range of the shells of . thqlr compatriots. Here we have ' our own good Territorials, with their kindly, honest faces, bending under the hot sunlight and labor ing courageously to restore the oads that are needed for our col. umnB ot men and transport. And, as I go onwards, the devas- . tatlonB grow worse around me,; and I hear. In a great crescendo, .like "a storm coming nearer, the covern ous sound ,of the .heavy artillery, v which, since it never ceases by day or by" night, assumes at last the . aspect of a special form of silence. 1 For miles my car had been run. ning 'In the' shade; but, In the zone that wo are entering, the century old. trees which used to border tho ' roads so bravely . have ; been sawn j.nhru by the Huns a yard above, tho ground. And the , canals and, 'rivers that we pass are verltablo graveyards ' of boatr.-Innunierable craft which used once to ensure communications between town and town h.'.vp, been destroyed with dy namite. Some have sunk to the bottom and show only their sterns. . others, on the contrary, have sunk Btern forwards, and show their . bows as if, In dying, they had rear- cd up We cross these water-ways - upon pontoons and bridges hastily -.Improvised by engineers, for tho ' Huns have blown up all the bridges tand their piles have been thrown . down as If by a cataclysm. Here, as the car , passes on, strange forms in profile erect themselves against the horizon. iFrom afar they suggest carcasses ot ..mastodons . and Ichthyosauri 'are piston rods, wheels, boilers, , protruding, In all directions from s heaps of masonry. And then you recognise them as the remains of sugar refineries our rich refln-f-erles ot the Northern Departments. Amongst these the work ot de. " Btructlon has been particularly at tended In; brick walls lie prostrate and crumbled to dust. But the machinery, the boilers, and the cy linders could not be pulverized, so the Huns have had to be content with rendering them useless; and there they. lie, chaotically suggest, lng the macabre and suggesting the grotesque, .. A solitary church passes us by; nothing of It remains standing but the east wall and the altar. Be- 1918 ttt side a Virgin who has lost a head stands a gilt vase still containing Its branch of artificial lilies.

' There are no recognisable shapes : of houses nowhe: e! Nevertheless, upon . the pile ot stones which was once the church, the Huns so thut no man may . forget It have had the dell, katesse to plant the iron cross that once surmounted the steeple. Words are powerless to . record the, horror of. It all a horror that lacks probability and that has, the madness of nightmare. Words are powerless to reflect, the furious In dignation, tho 'rage, and the desire for vengeance that you will feel. . . . . Of deliberate purpose, with out any provocation, this degraded Prussian people " has ' ' come ' out against us and has done this to our houses. : And the ruins themsolves are as nothing. What is more, ir reparable -in -their work ,1s all the new graveyards dug In the land and all the overflowing trenches of the dead. Ah, very degraded and outside the pale Ib that- human race, .which, at the, sign from Its master, came out against us with its alt loo skilled machine gun fire, its Ignoble ; incendiary , liquids, and its death-dealing gas to make he catombs of our soiib and brothers, and. of all the fair youth of France! Well, If we leave them the power of" recovery now they will begin again; they will behave worse at 111, for they have murder in their souls, as other peoples, have the instinct of honor. .. And to thiok that there are men. ' themselves Frenchmen, who wouU wish - us to stretch out friendly hunds to the33 Huns and that, at the end, we nhould let them keep what ihey' have taken and depa.-t without punishment for so many outrage-, and so many crimes! And to think, thfyt In Paris, there are papers that hare dared to print such words cs: "It Is regrettable, assuredly; but war is war. , War ls: alwajs like that, and everyone does the same." .-v. Oh, mo&Btrouft blasphemy! ' Has' anyone ever sepn' our armies, in spite of the excesses that always go along with war, commit atroci ties" like these? To Judge of tho profound differences between the races It would have been enough to go, . fifteen years ago, to Fekin, when ..ill Europe was seeking la mentably enough, I agree to act as '."torch-bearors of civilization." We, as conquerors, shared out the Celestial City and the surrounding provinces, giving them, sector by sector, to" the allied nations. And peace reigned in the French sec tor, and the Chinese continued tranquilly their dally lives; our soldiers even, helped them In the fields and succoured their lost or phans. But In the Oerman sector day by day, after the. fighting was over, it was destruction, pillage, burnings and murder. And, for the rest, the brutality of Germany had been the prime, cause of It all; for HE, always he, the prime mov er In the world-wide butchery of today, their gracious Emperor, had said officially, to his soldiers: "Act like the Huns; it Is my will that, In fifty years, your passing thru may bo remembered with terror." Above, in the, stormy skies, there loom three of those ugly blackish things that are called sausages; but they resemble rather huge inflated fish, is It wer, aerial whales. Well we know that they bear Huns with teloscopes and with the aid ot wireless telegraphy, who spy upon us unceasingly, and upon every military movement which hazards itself to the light ot day and upon any gathering of troops.

Revived and expnnded, they are once more turning out ships J "rr? ,ne American flog on ail tho seas. For quite a distance up the Penobscot and Kennebec rivers and some " of the smaller streams Other old shipbuilding yards which had long since moldered into nothing but memories have been regenerated, modernised, and are bus ily adding to America's great growing merchant murine;!' At othr places on copst ;and, river i splendid-new ship building yards now thrive on sites that (ess than a year ago were swampy and junkshops. , ' '" War Found Industry Dead, . When the world' war came .in 1014 there Was not O ship being ,bult In Portland. There were steel vessels at the Bath Iron Works, but only a few. wooden ships In the whole. of Maine. In Portland, as In .many other former Maine shipbuilding centers, only re pair work was being done. -' Since the present United States shipping board, under Chairman Ed word. N. Hurley, began Its activities less (ban a year ago, Maine shipyards have , been engaged in building (as nearly as can be ascertained) 116 ves sels, some of which are for the ship ping board, others for private Inter ests. A number of those have already been launched. ' Of this total of 110 vessels 41 have been wooden freight steamers of an aggregate ot more than 110,000 deadweight tons, 8. have been steel freighters of B total -of 72,600 deadweight tons, und 47 schooners to taling qbout 55,000 tons. The remain der are tugboats, lighters and trawlers. And where a few years ago the ship building force.ln Mulne was pitifully small, there are. now perhaps 15,000 men working at full speed In Malde shipyards. This number does not, of course, Include 1 lumbermen ' or nil others engaged Itt'nllled trades, nor does'It cdmlifls6'the-fbrce'to'6ft' Hi'ke'n, on In pew shipyards 'fast being estab lished. '- ":" -"; '" ' In Portland shipyards there ore about 4,500 men, and the value of the ships on which they are working Is roughly estimated at $10,500,000. The total money value of ships being built or to be built in the whole of Maine cannot be learned with any degree np pronchlng preclseness, but It runs Into the tens of millions of dollars. - " Old Shipbuilders Come Forth. ' Old Maine shipbuilding families In which shipbuilding and ship operation had become a sort of heredltnry pos session have ngaln come forth to go all la their power to help their country build ships. One of those families Is the Hamlen family, contained In the firm of J. H. Hamlen & Son of Port land. This firm was organized In 1845, and built ships for its cooperage and lumber trade. Up to 1889, when It dis continued Its shipbuilding, It hnd eight clippers, brlgantlnes, brigs and bar kentlr.es plying to the West Indies und South AmericaT' The present senior member, James O. Hamlen, sixty-six years old, Inherited the business from his father and grandfather. One of his sons Is a lieutenant In the army; another la associated In business with him. "'." : " ;' .';'' .-.., When the United States shipping board, headed by Mr. Hurley, sent out Its urgent call for ships, Mr. Hamlen with Immediate vigor formed the Cum- berland Shipbuilding company, person-1 . x,,i ally supplying Its entire finances.

' ' The workers 'are nearly all native Maine men. It is a reiuarkuhle evi dence of American adaptability and quickness of grusp that not 5 per cent of the force of 1.T00 men at this yard knew anything of shipbuilding before they came to Work In tills vjird. ; Oh the site of the old Itusseli ship yards in PorMilllll tllnw la iwtit, nitnllw. 0 nearly sixty years ago for their wood en ships, barks and schooners, the Russell yards passed Into oblivion, with not even a shack remaining. In July, 1917, tlfb site was a nmdholo. Then came the Portland Ship Coll ing company, which up to that time hud been making- stalls mid bins for cattle and gruln ships. Already it has launched throe wooden ships, each ot 8,506 toiiB. The groutcr part of the 000 men mostly native Maine men have been converted into shipbuilders wltU In a year. , "Po Your All," "Dd Your Bit," Is the motto In this yard. On one of the forges Is painted' the exhorta tion, .'Roast tho Kaiser!" ... '"" In Other Yards. ' -, These are only two of a half dozon shipyards In Portland, with moro to be established. . The oilier yards are' building millions of dollars' worth of wooden freight steamers, trawlers, lighters and tugs. .,-'. ; i . In Bath approximately CO.000 dead weight tons of merchant marine are being built. Much, of this Is steel ships being constructed by the Torus company, which employs about 2,000 men. Near by, at Boothhay and East Boothbny, six shipbuilding concerns are building or will build this year n total of a dozen or moro schooners ranging from 500 to 1,000 tons each. i After being dormant nearly forty years, the old Soule shipyard at South Freeport Is again bustling with activ ity. This was one of the yards' where hulf a century ago many of Maine's best clipper .ships were built Here three 8,500-ton wooden steamers have been under construction this year. Bel fast yards are turning out four wooden schooners, three of them five-masted. In Other Maine places many other wooden schooners, generally three and tour masted, and a number of wooden freight steamers are being hurried to completion. , , , . With delight Maine Is watching our merchant murine grow to a supreme plactyiand with.1 pride, it Is sharing, ip Its building. . SUBSTITUTE ENLISTMENT - Story of Friendship Like That of Da mon and Pythias. ; An Incident has coma to light ot Cuero, Tex., In connection with the last draft call which Is very much like the story of Damon and Pythias. The local board had exhausted Its list, of town clerks and had taken up the claims of farmers to Bclect the men who could best be spared from their work. Emil Goehrlng was among the boys chosen to go nnd Wallace McCormlck was deferred until a later call. Then the word came that Emll had sickness In his family and McCormlck went before the board and obtained permission to get Qoelirlng's tag anjl go in his stead. Goehrlng was very appreciative of the kindness done him nnd made ar rangements for a star to go on the county's service flag for Wallace. . i FIGURE ON COSTS FOR WAR Investioators Oet Up Production 8ta- a tlstlcs on Twenty Essential.
