Hopes OF better trade loom larger than

are gropingzfor foreign markets. and
while progress may be made in that di-

Use rather than performance. There
seems to be a disposition to restrict cred

rounding the price situation statesmen in
numerous instances have been instructed
to go slow in taking orders. In the iron
and steel lines domestic business Is slow

OF Benton, Republican Candidate for
Register of Deeds for Kennebec County.
John M. Eastman is in every sense
a self-made man. The first 25 years
of his life were spent on the old
homestead farm in Benton, performing
the everyday duties of the farm with
earnestness and application that
brought success. While he has been
interested in agriculture, for 10 years
he was chief assistant to his father
in-law, Fred Brown of Benton, who
in his lifetime was one of the most
prominent contractors in the State,
and who during that time constructed
dams, foundation mill work and
foundation bridge work, at many
points In New England, especially in
Maine.
He has always taken a deep inter-
est in public affairs, and has been
especially active in all matters per-
tanning to the welfare and advance
ment of his town. While not solicit
ing local Office. he has been a member
of the board of selectmen three years,
was town clerk in 1909, and from 1908
to the present time he has held the
office of treasurer and
collector. Social activities do not
appeal to him in the same manner as

staff in charge of that department of
the vessel. F1rst-class American ma
rire engineers are difficult to obtain.
Those to be found in this port have
satisfactory, not to say lucrative en-
ployment. Also, the work involved in
the negine room of a vessel as large
as the Red Cross requires wide expe-
rience and accurate knowledge of all
branches of the marine engineers call
ing. If the Hamburg American Co.
enters an objection to the installation
aboard the steamship of an engineer
ing department unfamiliar with the
crafts motive power, and whose abil-
ity is not clearly established, that
company will be doing no more than
is right, say steamship men, Whether
CT such objection will be made is a
matter of doubt: there is reason for
p-onouncing as erroneous the report
that the line had entered a protest of
such nature.
Nothing of the sort has come to
me-" said Miss Mabel Boardman, sec
rotary of the American Red Cross.

of it had anything of the kind been
done 1 realize just as well as any
one the Importance of having an able
and experienced engineering staff
aboard the Red Cros., and such 4 one
we intend to have. Capt. Luckhurst,
of the American Line. has been most
kind in attending to this matter for
us, and am sure that every hing will
work out satisfactorily"
Big Task for Red Cross
Miss Boardman mildly intimated
that responsibility for the holding up
of the steamship did not involve the
Red Cross Association. 1t was solely
a matter of personnel she said and
while she regretted that those actual
ly in charge OF the vessel had not as
sured themselves as to the diplomatic
eligibility of the crew she regarded
it as one of those mistakes that will
occur to mar the best-laid plans.
while we are waiting for the boat
to SAIL" sshe said, 1--WE find ourselves
prevented from doing a number of
things that should be done. There is
the work of preparing for the second
trip of the Red Cross to Europe with
additional surgeons, nurses and sup
plies. That means quite a campaign;
there is more money to raise, too, to
say nothing of the new Red Cross
building, which we are trying to have
built in Washington. So you may i'm
agine the Red Cross cannot leave upon
her present voyage any too soon for
