Unheralded and unfeted. Josef Hoff-
mann, one of the worlds greatest plan
lists. was a guest in Portland Sunday
night, says the Express. Mr.. Hoff-
mann, accompanied by his wife and lit
tie daughter, came through by yacht
and automobile from their summer
home at Northeast Harbor. planning to
spend the afternoon and night in Port
land for the express purpose of hearing
the Kotzschmar Memorial Organ play
ed by Municipal Organist Will c. Mac
farlane. In this he was disappointed,
as he did not learn until his arrival in
Portland of Mr.. Macfarlanes absence
to attend and play at the Panama Pa
cif1c Exposition. Mr.. Hoffman and his
family were guests at the New Chase
House. where they remained quietly
during the day and Sunday night, and
they left by automobile Monday morn
ing for Boston and Scituate. Mass,
where they will spend a few days be-
fore returning to their American home
at Aiken, S. c. The Hoffmann's had a
thrilling experience after leaving their
home on Mt Desert Island. They start
ed for the mainland In yacht but
ran into a storm, were buffeted and
drenched by the waves and finally had
to land on a deserted island. where
they built bonfires to dry their cloth
ing. This was Mr.. Hoffmann's first
summer in America, and his wife, who
Is an American woman, was very anx-
ious to have him enjoy 1t. But the
weather conditions nearly thwarted
her desires In this line, and the cele-
brated pianist went home from his first
summer on the Maine coast wondering

The $4,000 fire which RACED the two
tenement house owned and occupied
by Joseph Curtis and Maurice H. Whe-
Ian at Biddeford Sunday noon, was
discovered by Boston man who was
making a trip from that city to Port
land by auto. He discovered the roof
all ablaze as he came down Elm street,
and at the corner of Beacon avenue, on
which the building is located, he met
jeremiah Crowley, local druggist.
He stopped Mr. Crowley and told him
that Saturday night he had dreamed
wildly that he discovered house
ablaze while making tour in his au
tomobile. Il plainly saw" he said,
the fire on the roof and ran to the
dwelling where | found two men read
ing newspapers in the kitchen. | am
going to that house to see if the rest
of my dream comes true Accom-
panied by Mr.. Crowley he ran to the
building where he found John Whelan
and Maurice G. Whelan sitting in the
kitchen reading the Sunday papers.
The alarm was given and the fire de-
partment responded to the call.

Extra ses.Ion d congre.. Possible.

The deadlock in the senate, with a continue
ton of the filibuster against the admlnistra-
tons shipping bill, makes II possible that an
extra session of congress.wit be called, II only
to pass the big Appropriated bills. which are
now being held back. This situation is not
especially encouraging TO country. which was
beginning to cherish the hope that the con-
tinuous performance at Washington might END
with the constitutional expiration OF the present
congress.
The presidents program does not run 50
smoothly through the law-making machinery as
II did. Two years Of steady work under the
''schoolmaster's" direction has apparently dis
turbed the docility or congress- and the,response
to White House suggestion" is no longer SO
ready nor so spontaneous as # was in the hey
day OF democratic ascendancy. The democrats
at present are not living up to their opportunity
in their insistence on the administrations ship
ping BILL They have had some chance to be OF
real service to the commerce OF the country, in
a great emergency. and as usual have failed TO
realize It. Refusal to permit amendment to the
presidents plan for the restoration OF the Amer
lean merchant marine bids fair to be fatal to tho
measure.
This outcome Is not especially encouraging
to the nation. which had hoped that some meas
ure OF relief might be given by the present con-
sress. The administration may take home the
lesson. and the next congress, with its lessenod
democratic majority, may be given an opportun-
ity 20 enact law that will be useful and eff
fectiye in the matter OF encouraging American
shipping.

Censoring the Censor.

John Bull il a phlegmatic old gentleman, but
like everybody else, he gets a bit impatient
under long continued stress OF waiting for
something to develop. Members OF the House
OF Commons gave an exhibition Of this uneasi-
ness when. in expressing willingness 10 give
the government blank check for war ex-
penses, It was plainly suggested that the country
would like to know little more about how the
war Is progressing. Secrecy concerning the
operations OF the government, and especially in
war times. is as irksome in England as Il is in
America, and is but little better borne.
The autocracy OF the military censorship is
nowhere especially reiisbed. but is submitted to
with more patience on the continent, because
the people there have been trained to observance
of the military rule that no questions may be
asked OF the army. The public everywhere has
been kept in the dark as to exact conditions on
the firing line well TO details of life In the
regions over which the wave of war has swept.
Military necessity Is responsible for this. and II
is not at all likely that the protests voiced in
the House OF Commons will be potent to lift the
veil of official obscurity that now hangs over
the movements OF the armies
In days to come historians and statlsticans
may be permitted to dig up some OF the details
concerning the titanic struggles that now con-
Germ so many millions. but for the most part the
things the people would like to know win be
safely buried In the archives OF the nations in
yoIyed

Leaving me never alone.
II was n spectral housekeeping,
Where fell no Earring tone,
As strange, as still a housekeeping
As ever has been known.
1t dwelt with me just as II wa,
just as Il was
When first ite prospects, gave me pause
In wayward wanderings.
Before the years had torn old troths
As they tear all sweet things,
Before gaunt griefs had torn old troths
And dulled old rapturings.

Began to fade;

Than when the attunnns look embrowned
The. lonely chambers here,
The autumn's settling shades cmbrowned
Nooks that II haunted near.
And so with time my vision less,
Yea, less and less,
Makes OF that Past my housemistress;
II dwindles in my eye;
It looms far-off skeleton
And not a cornrade nigh,
A fitfuI far-off skeleton
Dimming as days draw by.
