BELFAST
Important Matters Discussed by
Board of Managers of Bel
fast Board of Trade at Its
Thursday Meeting
INTERESTING ITEMS OF
TOWN DOlNGS

Belfast, Me-, April 1c-(SpeciaD.-
meeting of the board of managers OF
the Belfast Board of Trade was held
Thursday night, President Coombs
presiding with full board. Matters per-
tanning to a change in the mail SER
vice were discussed with Postmaster
Heating. The matter will be taken up
with Washington by Postmaster Keat-
ing, to whom a petition will be ad-
dressed and also many letters from
prominent business men of the city.
The mater of keeping the Saco VAL
ley Corn canning plant in Belfast was
also discussed. The company demands
a certain acreage of corn planted in
order to enable it to remain here and
it was voted last night to employ d
man to assist the cOmpanys' agent,
Edward L. Evans, in visiting the farm
ers in the vicinity and interesting them
in the matter.
Another matter of Importance dis
GUESSED was that of running a steam
er down through the Reach such as
was done last year.
The much talked of hotel for Belfast
was also discussed. Chairman of the
committee to investigate, Orlando L.
Frost, stated that he had taken the
matter up with an architect with the
hopes that if he. could get something
tangible the board would be able to
form stock company and in time
such an hotel might be possible. AL
though nothing definite. as to a site
has been decided, the popular choice
would probably be the Pierce lot, OPP
posite the postCffice.

of the week in the western war area
No military results Of any Importance

WAR NEWS OF ThE WEEK
OUTLINED IN BRIEF

| tn oSssaticu CT nuss,a's "a
| on Budarrst and a renewed Au al
offensive in Bukovna combine to pro
vide the most important war news OF
the week. The capture OF kirlibaba
pass, leading from southern Bukovina
into Transylvania, and presenting the
choice OF two routes to Budapest, pre-.
sumably was accomplished at the cost
OF leaving other passes insufficiently
defended.
The Austrians have taken advantage
OF this condition, and are now back
in the crownland from which they
wero driven a fortnight ago. The ef'
feet OF Austria's sudden success has
undoubtedly exerted much influence
on Roumania during the week. Spe-
cial Austro. German emissaries arrived
at Bucharest to persuade the Rouman-
ian statesmen that II Is against their
material interests to enter the war.
Russian troops, however, on Transyl.
vanian soil we're demonstrating the
possibility that unless Roumania join
ed the conflict quickly, she would be
too late to conquer Pennsylvania, with
its Roumanian population, for herself. !
Probably at no time has Roumania
been so near joining the allies as she
was this week. /
While matters we're developing so |
precariously in Bukovina and Tran.

the week n new offensive toward

one objective. Petrograd returned TO

Diplomacy in dealing with disputes
that arise between capital and labor was

a means of overcoming the devastation

How much better it would be. said
Secretary Wilson. .1if the leaders of both
interests would sit around the table OF

This is the only way industrial peace can
be obtained For when a dispute Is
settled by the superior power of either
side, the subdued will rebel at the first
opportunity"
The Secretary outlined the work OF the
new department of the government. If
which he is head, calling it the departA
ment of industrial diplomacy. He told
of the efforts being made by the depart
ment to inculcate this idea of justice
into the minds of both capital and labor
as the only solution of industrial unrest.
In speaking of the unemployed prob
lem. he said: Until you have a job for
every man and a means OF bringing the
men and the jobs together. you will have
the unemployed question before you.
But this problem has been greater than
1t need have been. due TO the fact that
there was no instrument for bringing the
job and the man together. The Depart
