British and American trade have been
steadily declining since that part of
China passed under Japanese control,
nor is there any doubt that 1t has
been for great part driven out by
Japanese competition supported by
preferential customs and railway rates,
shipping bounties, and successful re-
sistance by it's traders in Manchuria
to paying China's internal taxes.
America, the protagonist of the "open
door" policy, let pass out of it's hands
the duty and responsibility of main
tanning it, and the honor of retaining
the commanding role in the affairs of
the Far East which would have been
ours.
Before, however, retiring from the
scene of activity in China our Gov
eminent, in 1909, made one more at
tempt to maintain the policy of the
open door, by securing American
financial participation in several i'm
portant loans which the Government
of China was seeking to negotiate with
various foreign banks. I will not
dwell on the stirring incidents which
marked the fleeting appearance of
America in the field of finance and
politics in China, but l cannot pass it
without mention of the permanent
moral benefits it brought us, the prac-
teal assistance 1t rendered China,
while it lasted, in defending her rights
and interests, and the profound regret
of China and her friends when, moved
by idealist views and imperfect in
formation, the present Administration
at Washington saw fit, in the spring
of last year, to withdraw its support
from the American banks. While de-
claring that our interests are those
of the open door, a door of friendship
and mutual advantage. This is the
only door we care to enter, 1t de-
clined to take another step to show

Mr.. Rockhill as "a most fragrant

Mr.. Rockhill said China was in need
of the moral support of foreign mill
tary, especially American, to preserve
at this time her neutrality and insure
internal peace.

forces in the China Station have been

ises. Mr.. Stanley stepped out for a
fe wminuteS and the doors We're then
shut on her according to her story,
and she has not been able since to
enter her premises. Mr.. Stanley has
stayed inside, having locked all Of the
doors. He has installed an alarm sys-
tenn in his barn so that if anyone en-
tiers the barn COW bell rings in the
house to warn him. A deputy sheriff
went to the house with a lawyer a
few days ago and Mr.. Stanley said:
II reckon the law is on the outside
this morning and am on the inside. .
The law went away without results,
for Stanley showed his new rifle as
proof of his statement.
The case involves this element. 1t
is understood that Mrs. Stanley has
a deed to the farm and owns the stock
and hay. The couple have been mar
RE dabout 10 years. Mrs. Stanley owed
number of bills and her creditors
borught suit for the amounts and the
writ of attachment was issued, but
this is where Mr.. Stanley makes his
protest, not allowing the officers to
serve the writ, as he claims the prop
erty is his. It is claimed that he has
sold some of the stock and while they
were being driven away representa-
tives of Mrs. Stanley have seized the
animals and corralled them in places
of safety.
Mr.. Stanley has agreed with Deputy
Sheriff Elmer Folsom of Cambridge
to let him enter the premises on FRI
day noon to attach the stuff if he
brings with the writ a replevin writ
with a good bond. In the meantime the
German and his wife and Mr.. Stanley
are guarding what they term his
rights and the allied forces are once

BANGOR MAN ARREST
ED AS GERMAN SPY
Employed Cruising and EST
mating Lumberlands in New
Brunswick = With Difficulty
Secures His Release

A story of the arrest and incarcer-
alton of prominent young Bangor
business man in New Brunswick on
the charge of being German spy.
comes back to that city, well anthem
ticated, and now that the Bangor man
has received his freedom through the
intercession of some of his New
Brunswick friends and acquaintance,
those who are acquainted with him
here are having a laugh at his ex-
pense. If stories that come from
down in the province are all true, it
was no laughing matter for him, es-
pecially during that time he was held
by the military authorities with a
grave charge over his head, and was
trying to get into communication with
his friends.
His profession Is that of a forester,
and he, in that capacity, has often
been employed in cruising large and
valuable tracts of land. not only in
this state. but often in New Bruins
wick where he has prominent bust
ness connections, and his profession
has taken him as far north as New
foundland and Labrador.
Recently he has been in New Bruins
wick, where he has been engaged in
cruising and estimating timberlands.
His work carried him into the for
ests alone, and his starting off, pack
on his back for long cruises, at
tracted the attention of the military
authorities and later their suspicion.
For while he was watched and
then finally, when he was starting out
on one of his surveying and estimat-
ing trips, with his maps and notes, he
was arrested, and taken into st. John,
n. B., where he was locked up in
prison at the direction of the officers
of the military department of the
province.
How long he would have remained
under the custody of the officers and
what the whole affair might have re-
suited in is hard to state, but after a
vehement declaration of his American
citizenship, and his rights Hereunder,
the Bangor man was allowed to send
word to a New Brunswick lumberman,
who responded at once, and through
him the military authorities were soon
satisfied that he was not a spy, and
that his trips over the New Bruins
wick territory meant nothing more
than that he was following his peaceful
and valuable pursuit, forestry.
Nevertheless it's no fun to be taken
for German spy in a British country
at these times when the feeling is run
ming high.
