To the staff of the kennebee jour
nal has come a young newspaper
man we'll known in Central Maine,
Edward B. Hinckiey of Fairfield, son
of George w. Hinckley of Good viii
Home fame. Mr.. Hinckley, after
graduation from college, went to the
Independent Reporter, Skowhegan
and later became part owner and edi-
tor of the Fairfield Journal. In the
latter capacity his writing attracted
attention and has been fiatteringly
copied by the press of Maine. During
the Maine campaign Of 1914, Mr..
Hinckley acted as director of pub
licity for the Republican State COM
mittee. Mr.. Hinckley's desire is to
enter. with the several other clever
and earnest young men that have
been added to the Journal staff in the
last three years, into the spirit of
making newspaper of which Maine
may be justly proud. That is the
policy of the Journal publishers and
every day seems nearer the realization
of the hope.

Of former Bangor people returning

cred special steamer for the return
to America. Some miscalculation was
apparently made on the quantity of
supplies required, for half way to
America, the food supply ran seriously
short, and the same was true of water.
The staple article of diet then became
fried eggs and champagne, the latter
being generously provided at 81. There
was some suspicion on the part of the
less credulous that there might have
been some connivance on the part of
certain steamship officials to have a
