Democrats Of Kennebec county turned
out in good numbers at the celeoratloh
Tuesday evening In this city which prov

haps a little more. Promptly at 1880 the

tomobiles made its start from the Ed

WEDDING PLACE

Biddeford, Me-, Nov. 21.-The we'd
ding of Miss Alma NJ. Jenkins of Bos-
ton, member of the Grand Musical Co.,
and Henry A. Word of Tennessee, a
soldier stationed at Fort Williams in
Portland, which had been advertised
by the management of the Central
theatre as to take place next Friday
evening at the close of the regular
performance, will be declared off if the
protest of the clergymen of the evan
gelical churches of the city is needed.
The clergymen today sent the follow
ing letter to Mayor L. A. Girard:
LAS ministers of the gospel charged
with the safeguarding of the morals OF
the community, and believing that
wedding ceremony performed under
such circumstances is dangerous and
in violation of the city ordinances and
inimical to the highest interests OF
our community life, we protest against
such wedding and petition Your Honor
to forbid it."
The letter Of protest was signed by
Rev. f. H. Brewster, Rev. w. 5. Post,
Rev. +. c. Leining, Rev. William 7.
, Morrison, Rev. l.. c. Holmes. Rev. G:
B. Wood, Rev. H. H. Tucker.
1t is not known what action Mayor
Girard will take in the matter but he
will consider the question and give his
decision.
Manager f. J. Bolen Of the Central
Theatre said this noon that it was not
the wish of the management of the
playhouse to do anything to endanger
the morals Of the community and he
had no intention when he advertised
the wedding of doing anything contra
ry to the ordinances. Miss jenkins said
that she had always been on the stage
since she was little girl and 1t was
her desire that the ceremony take place
in the playhouse. as that had always
been her home. For that reason. when
1t became known the couple were en-
gagged and had filed their intentions or
marriage, arrangements were made by
the management to have the ceremony
performed in the playhouse.
Mr.. Bolen said he did not know yet
what the final decision of the owners
of the theatre would be.
It is understood that the members of
the company of Mr.. Word of Fort Will
liams had made arrangements to at
tend the wedding.
No local clergyman will perform the
ceremony, if it is decided to celebrate it
in the theatre and a justice of the
peace will probably have to be called
upon to officiate.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The prospec-
tive European commercial war-after-
the-War, viewed with increasing seri-
BUSINESS here, is being watched care
fully by American consular officers
abroad and reports are being received
regularly at the department from
many different sources. 1t became
known today that all available facts
are being sent on to Washington both
Us to the progress already made in
planning this economic struggle and
as to expected future developments.
Country's Danger
Officials here think the American
people do not fully realize the possi-
BILE effects of such post -bellum xstrife
on their huge foreign trade which has
passed the $4,000. 00o, 900 mark annually.
Uncertain as the future is and varying
as are all reports no doubt is felt here
that the country faces a grave eco
nomic danger unless it does all posi-
bile first to forestall such a struggle,
ana, second, to prepare against it in
case present indications are borne out
Proposed Legislation
Legislation along this line will be
sought in Congress. The Webb bill al
lowing American firms to unite with
foreign trade without violating the
antitrust laws is to be urged again in
the Presidents next address. The Ship
ping Board, provided at the last Con-
gress, is expected to be named short
~ and to submit a program designed

dependence on foreign bottoms.
maximum and minimum to auto
,natlcally favor friends and punish
those discriminating against American
goods is another proposed means of de-
tense which will be submitted for con-
Slderation by the new tariff commits
sion. The State department is deeply
interested in the threatened complex
lies and 1T is greatly for this reason
that many consular officers as happen
to be in this country at this time will
be sent to the fourth annual meeting
OF the National Foreign Trade Coun-
Gil at Pittsburgh. Jan. Is, 26 and Of.
Reports to the department vary
widely in their Interpretation of the
probabilities abroad. It is apparent
that personal hatred among the mass
cs will result in virtual boycotts
against goods from countries now
hostile. Doubt is expressed, however,
as to whether an actual trade war as
proposed by the London Chamber of
Commerce with different tariffs for
colonies, allies, friendly neutrals, UNI
friendly neutrals and enemies will be
decreed by official act.
