in concluding: an article on the
manifestations against. the peace
treaty by the German government
and the German press.
"The President of Germany," the
editorial Rays, "protests against the
peace terms and declares them im
possible of acceptance. This atti
tude will be lost on us. The Ger
mans, as usual, will yield only to
force. During the time allowed
them to make up their minds, they
will try to persuade us to conclude
peace upon such and such a
basis. * * *
"It is comical, indeed, to see at
a time like this, the Germans seri
ously proposing to us a version of
tl.-c League of Nations and plans
for the reconstruction of Europe.
I They should put them all back In

TANKS NOT STRANGE
P. aneor * Me ., —The military tanks
that are traveling over the country
advertising the Victory lAberty j.oan
?' e . no , sl trangers to the State of
Maine, for this is where they were
u e llt,le city of Water
vine, on the Kennebec river.
, olden times oxen were used to
haul logs in the Maine forests, and
in the course of years these slow
moving animals gave way to horses.
Then after much study and exper
lence in logging A. o. Lombard of
Watervllle conceived the idea of
building a steam propelled machine
that would on a fair sort of road
haul as many logs at a load as
could be moved by thirty horses. But
the roads seldom are half good
generally in the logging regions they
are terribly rough, up hill and down
and Lombard contrived the so-called
caterpillar attachment, which is a
sort of endless chain arrangement,
providing the log hauling machine
with a track for its wheels to run
upon.
The caterpillar tractor was a great
success and hundreds of them now
are in use all over the country, es
pecially in the Northwest, where the
tree trunks are long and verv heavy
The idea was taken up by motor
builders and when the war came on
applied to the tanks. If the tanks
hadn't their road right along with
them they wouldn't be of much use
off a good highway.
"AMMONIA PISTOLS"
Kennebunk, Me., Residents of
York County who have been shocked
by the introduction of "ammonia
pistols" into the rum traffic. Deputy
Sheriff Perley D. Greenleaf of this
town being thus "shot up" when he
attempted to hold up a touring cross-
State car, are reminded by oldtimers
that ammonia is not a newfangled
weapon. He is not the first York
County officer to be overpowered
by these fumes and turned from his
official duties.
The other instance occurred some
years ago at Saco, it is recalled, yvhen
a raiding officer attempted to catch
a certain drug store with the goods
As the officer entered through a back
window there was an immediate 'gas
attack" launched in the form of a
bottle of ammonia from a handy
shelf in the back shop.
It did its work effectively and that
was the end of that raid. Deputy
Sheriff Greenleaf is now said to be in
the market for a suitably equipped
gas mask, in the further pursuance
of his duties.
THIS MAN'S SUDDEN SWALLOW
MADE HIM SICK AND SALLOW
The man who staggered into a
doorway and then sank to a sitting
position on the step caused some
people to suspect he had been dining
too well.
The ashen pallor of his face soon
attracted the attention of a sympa
thetic bystander, however, and the
latter inquired:
"What seems to be the trouble?"
The man smiled feebly, craned his
neck, tried to clear his throat, and
then placed one hand to his perspir
ing brow. .
"You haven't been too
much?"
"No," the man weakly replied.
"It's nothing serious. It'll all be
right in a minute. 1 just swallowed
my chew." —From the Youngstown
Telegram.
