' 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.

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,

lacks probability and that has, the
madness of nightmare. Words are
powerless to reflect, the furious In

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.

Maine baa again burst Into flourish
lot prominence os b. producer pt shliis.
; Hot quite a year ago there were but
a handful otahipyatds scattered along
the Malna coast. Most of them, were
relics of bygone era. ; Today there
are 89 shipyards of slse In Maine, ex
tending from the pdrts at the lower
.i r tha state ud east to what II
locally called ;ysunrlae section In the
vlclplty ;df totals and Enstnort. V
P'-U that were
inner flenA find mourned as supposedly
beyond resurrection have sprung Into
life again, and with an energy they
never knew in their palmiest days.
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. Hard

capable of hauling 3,500 nnd 4,000 ton
ships Is under construction, and a large
plant for the Installation of ship ma
chinery has been established at Llgo
nla, 1M miles west of Portland. .
Making It Hot for Huns.
Frequently the temperature was ten
and twelve degrees below zero when
the swamp was being filled In and the
Srst snip tne uumoenanu omit, cutting order.
the men rejoiced In the thought that
they were helping to make It hot for
the nuns. The keel of the Cumber
land was laid on January 28, 1918, and
notwithstanding two months' delay In
getting lumber from the South the
alilp was launched on July 20. She The second box contained 21 pounds
was the first of ten wooden freight ; of meat, while the members of the do
steamers, each of ft.500 tons' capacity, fendnnt's family only numbered four.

The workers 'are nearly all native
Maine men. It is a reiuarkuhle evi

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.

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
