Art Smith May
Go Back to Maine
Is Latest Rumor

Portland. Me-. Nov. lit Is rumored
that Arthur n. Smith, now in charge
Of the training along physical lines and
track athletics at Colby College, Water
vile, may receive a call back to Orono
before long; in fact, those who know
the situation go so far as to state that
it may be only a matter of months be-
fore Smith is back In his old haunts.
He has friends working to such an end.
Smith. while now he is engaged to
coach Colby in the various branches Of
sport which come under his jurisdic.
ton, has friendly spot in his heart
for Maine, as was demonstrated last
Saturday at Waterville and seen by
many local sport followers who witness
ed the game there. The Maine delega-
ton gave a cheer for Smith. Smith po-
litely returned the compliment by dofiing
his cap and signifying that he realized
that he had about 1000 staunch friends
on his opponents bleachers.
It Is generally understood that alumni
associates which were very sorry to SEQ
a coach go who had made such a name
for the university as had Smith, are
working on the matter and it IL under
stood that one association has q man at
Orono for that express purpose q the
present time.

alks Of
Patriotism
Criticises Men Who snake Play
with the Loss of Lives of
American Citizens" to "Create
Domestic Political Advantage"

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. president
Wilson, in his first speech in New York
state since the campaign opened, today
questioned the patriotism of men "who
in the midst of the most critical reia-
tionships, the details of which they do
not know, make play with the loss Of
the lives of American citizens even, in
order that they may create a domes
tic political advantage" He declared
that political parties should be used
but that partisan use should not be
made of them. "Out of a Heterogeneous
nation we have got to make a unit"
said the President, "in which no slight
est line of division is visible be-
You'd our borders. Variety of opinion
among ourselves there may be discus
sion. free counsel as to what we ought
to do but as far as every other nation
is concerned, we must be absolutely a
unit"
The remainder of the Presidents af-
ternoon speech delivered at lunch
given in his honor by a nom partisan
club, was devoted to a discussion of
internal and foreign problems, facing
the United States. He declared he was
glad the campaign was nearly over,
because within a week we can begin
to talk sense again" He added that
nothing so disturbs the discussion of
public question as a partisan approach
to them"
To Name Commission Soon
Speaking of economic questions fac
ing the nation, Mr.. Wilson asserted
that Americans have got to look on
such problems from q new viewpoint
and that nobody knows definitely what
will happen after the European war.
The best that can be done, he declared,
is to get all the facts. He mentioned the
new tariff commission and said he
would appoint it soon. He mentioned
particularly social justice, mentioning
the aims of the Progressive party and
saying that law too seldom has any
quick sympathies of perception" He
added that it is necessary to organize
the relationships between classes and
the relationships between private init
iative and governmental action.
In addition to his afternoon speech
the President delivered an address to-
night under non-partisan auspices. and
made two automobile tours of Buffalo
after shaking hands with station
crowds at Is cities and towns in New
York state en- route here. He was ac-

Lansins's Statement

IansIng's Statement
The only positive developments today
were the action of Count Won BernstCrf,
the German ambassador, in asking mis-
government to forward full details by
wireless and a statement by Secretary
Lansing that the investigation would be
in no wise delayed because there was a
political campaign in progress. This was
Mr. Lansing's statement:
1.-The fact that political campaign Is
practice of the department in negotiat-
ing and in making full investigation in
cases of this sort. We shall do 1t as we
always have with as much CELEBRITY as
possible.
Il wish also to make another state
ment on a matter which has been
brought to my attention. The question
has been raised as to whether the pol
in regard to submarine warfare, since
the Sussex was sunk, has been changed.
/ wish to say emphatically that there
has been no change in any particular. !"
important Considerations
While they await full details, two
dispatches attracted the attention OF
officials.
One was the announcement that the

al board of directors of which one man
from each of the SO Unions in the
State is a member. Of this. number
about 65 were present Wednesday
morning when the meeting was called
to order by President Gardner The
question was raised as to whether Mr..
Gardner was legally president as he
was not member of the board of di-
rectors when elected and as a result
Mr. Gardner vacated the chair and Ed
ward Evans of Belfast was called to
preside. The question of accepting Mr..
Embree'S resignation was then taken
up and Mr.. Embree himself addressed
the board telling of the work he had
done and of the work which should be
Gone by the general manager in the
future. Mr.. Embree then left the room
TO allow full and free discussion. II
was taken part in by about everyone
present Those who wished to see the
resignation accepted put forward the
argument that Mr.. Embree had not
carried out the orders of the executive
committee and that as he had refused
TO obey orders he should be allowed to
get out. There was no claim but what
~ ""s' hDiC anu IOIleSL ana that he
had done much for the farmers Of
Maine. but they stuck to the statement.
that owing to the trouble it was better
that he get out than that the other men
with whom he could not work should
be allowed to go. On the other hand.
his friends contended that he had start
ed and built up the unions, that it was
due to his work that they occupied 10
position that they do at the present
time and that instead of letting him 90
they should allow the men who we're
opposing him to resign.
Farmers Support Embree
The fight after a time seemed to be
between the farmer and the non-farmer
element in the union. the farmer ele-
ment favoring the refusal to accept the
resignation and the non-farmer element
insisting that it be accepted. There were
frequent bursts of cheering during the
time that the meeting was in progress
and dinner time came and went with
