The storm on Wednesday. May 18th, the
worst of the season, causing washouts on tho
railroads and highways and suspension of
steamer service, seriously inconvenienced the
newspaper men who came to Bangor to attend
the meeting of the Maine Press association
Thurs Jay. May 18th. The Rockland, Cam
den and Belfast contingents had counted on
making the trip up-river on one of the white
flyers of the Eastern Steamship CORPORATION.

Ogier of the Camden Herald has touring car.
but felt that it would be impossible to navi.
gate it over the heavy roads, and when asked
to join the Rockland party in making the trip
by car agreed to do so, but did not believe any
one would attempt it. They did show up, how
ever. with Ford car and made the trip sue
cessfuly, leaving Rockland at a. m. and ar
irving in Bangor at 1890 p. m. They were
only stalled once, and that was at the Belfast
end of Little Riv er bridge, but got out with.
out much trouble and had fair going from
there to Bangor. Mr.. Ogier said it was won
derful how that would climb out of places
where heavier car would have remained an
chored. Editor Norton of the Portland Ex-
press Advertiser came to Bangor the day be-
fore. and other arrivals by train reported two
to three hours late. The Belfast representa-
tive found the detention of between two and
three hours at Burnham rather tedious, but en-
joyed the ride over the Belfast branch. The
streams that ordinarily trickle over their
rocky beds or meander through meadows were
turned into turbulent torrents that leaped
over obstacles to plunge into foam fecked
pools and flood the adjacent lowands. The
trees were only beginning to leave out but the
grass was green everywhere, giving promise
of a good hay crop.

there acquired a knowledge of the country

intimate quality for both weekly and daily
publishers and workers, 1t was great privi-
lege to hear Mr.. Seitz and one that is thor
oughly appreciated, the newspaper workers
and the journalistic students present uniting
in returning thanks to the University of Maine
Department of Journalism for its enterprise in
securing this great figure IN the newspaper
world, and to Mr.. Seitz in that his affection for
the State of Maine impelled him, spite of
his large business cares, to make the long trip
here to address tie Maine newspaper workers
We cannot attempt report of this address,
which was of intense interest to his hearers,
valuable to the newspaper men and students
of journalism present, and made entertaining
by flashes of wit and pertinent stories. Mr.
Seitz treated of his own career in humorous
vein. and said he had never resigned from a
position but always "fred. which we
interpret as meaning that he was fired with
ambition to go up higher, and succeeded, until
he holds the responsible position Of business
manager of one of the great papers of the
world. Confidentially Mr.. Seitz gave US some
statistics as to the Worlds revenues and dis
bursements, pay roll, amount of paper used,
etc.. which shall not report, for three reasons:

giving the figures correctly; and. Sd. because
no one unfamiliar with the inside workings of

millions of dollars passing in and out of the
business department of the New York World
Some questions prompted by students of the
U. of M. department of journalism W re ask

answered. He was asked what were the
prospects for girl entering newspaper work,

Germany has held her submarine
fleet as the final weapon 10 be

fear has begun 10 eat into the heart
OF the German government, in the
minds of English leaders.
. Such responsible newspapers as
the Times and the Chronicle, in
analyzing the reichstag speech see
in il a reflection of official pessim-
ism.
The Chronicle declares that Ger
many sees all hope of anneNng
Belgium gone and that she realizes
that she cannot win on the field.
The only question. the Chronicle
says is:
How much longer can Germany
last ?"
Newspapers and government Of

They said that Germany will fight
