Likely to Meet Here
III 1916.

-,MII. I.WAUKEE, Sept 3O.-While it
will not be known until tomorrow
where the convention of the League
of American Municipalities will meet

tropolis are receiving promises from
every side and feel confident of land
ing the convention as an additional
feature of the 250th celebration of tho
anniversary of Newark's foundation.
The Newarkers are in evidence
everywhere. They have received
first prize for having the largest del
egation in the present convention,
and one of their number, Alderman
Patrick G. O'Brien. seems to have an
excellent chance of election as one

Newark, is on the committee on res
olutions, one of the most important
positions in connection with the
gathering. His companions arc
Mayor Behrman, of New Orleans;

They hesitated a second, but before
they could retreat. If that was their
fiitention, a waiter escorted them up
an improvised aisle to a platform,
Where the other Newarkers were
grouped. Mr.. Day offered toast to
the couple, to which everyone in the
place responded, standing.

Admirer Praises Ridder
= for Attitude Towards War

NEW YORK, Sept 90.-Herman
Ridder quotes today in the Stats
Zeitung a letter to him from T.. J..
Oakley Rhinelander, praising him for
his attitude and that of his news
paper in the European war. The let
ter is presented ito offset as much
of the unfounded criticism leveled at
Germany as possible" 1t reads in
part as follows:
II only arrived short time ago
from Germany myself, and ON my
arrival was utterly disgusted to see
the prejudice and sensational articles
published every day in the city press.
Having been in Germany for two
weeks during the war 1t gives me
great pleasure to testify on my per-
sonal observation of the courtesy and
Kindness shown not only to Ameri-
cans, but TO tourists in general, and
knowing as / do the German soldier
and German people, 1 do not believe
for one moment the tales OF cruelty
that are published daily in the col
umns of the press.
"The Germans are a proud, pa
triotic and sensitive people, and l
greatly fear the bad feeling that will
exist by the actions of our country's
press will be reflected for many
years after the war is over, in loss
of business and general dislike and
suspicion Of us as country"

IN ANDROSCOCCIN
IS THROWN OUT

Lewiston, Me-. Nov. 5.-The largest
mortgage ever recorded in Androscog-
gin county is no longer in force. 1t
went out of activity on Oct 3d. when
its discharge was recorded by Reg
lister of Deeds Larabee. This mortgage

the Maine Central Railroad to the
Union Safe Deposit & Trust Co. of
Portland as security for bonds to the
same amount of bonds.
The discharge of the mortgage re-
cords that none of the bonds are now
issued and all are cancelled" Bond
issue was cancelled. SO the discharge
shows, on Oct. II of this year, but the
discharge was not recorded until the
39th day of the month.

fee on the mortgage was SOL After it
had been fully recorded in 1911, the

ed from this mortgage.
