BENJAMIN PRIEST, 1O4.
The Oldest Man in Somerset County, if
Not in the State

To be 104 years old is not common
distinction, but May 4th, Benjamin Priest
reached that milestone in his life. He IS
the oldest man In Canaan, without doubt
the oldest man in the county, and it may
be safely said that he is the oldest man in
the State, or in number of States.
He is Civil War veteran and his war
stories are just as thrilling and as reals
tic as those told by veterans that may be
younger, considerably, than he. On
Memorial day, the one day in the year,
certain to stand out as an event for the
old soldiers, the day that is especially
kept for them and for their brothers that
have gone before them, what more fitting
than that the oldest of them all should
march at the head of their fast fading
ranks? Mr. Priest took great pride il
his annual capacity as leader and his
many friends are hoping for his better
health that he might be able to march
again this year.
The simple life as applied to mar
living in small town most all his days is
naturally productive of longevity. Mr.
Priest has lived in Canaan the greater
part of his life. and in his quiet, easy
going daily routine has worked out {
system of life that has meant for hin
many more years than is ordinarily al
lOtteu to man.

3-CORNERED TROUBLES
Stone Confers With Wilson on Ger
man-Mex-Jap Crises.

Washington. April 27.-Chairman
Stone of the senate foreign relations
committee was prepared today to lay
before the committee the results of his
conference with President Wilson last
night regarding international problems
confronting the nation
The submarine controversy formed
the principal topic of discussion al
though the Mexican situation and
Japan's protest against features of the
immi gration bill were taken up After
the conference Senator Stone declined
to go into details although it was
learned that eventualities that might
result from Germany's answer to
Americas latest demands in the sub
marine issue were fully discussed.
While the president made no attempt
to minimize the gravity of the situa-
ton he still is hopeful that diplomatic
relations between the two countries
may not be broken off
The Japanese protest was up for
consideration at a meeting today of
the senate immigration committee.
