estimates the number of survivors at -
years of age in the two countries, out OF
100000 male births, at 1850 for France and
1906 for Germany. In spite of the grea.-

NELSON H. STANH0PE OF
DOVER AMONG MISSING

Dover Foxcroft. Me. Nov. 5.-Mystery
H. Stanhope of this town, who has been
missing since Saturday morning, when
he left his home in the Flatiron building
on Union square for the purpose of do
ing some shopping for his wife. Stan
hope, who was assistant superintendent
in this district for the Prudential Life
! Insurance Co., came here about year
ago from Machias. No reason for his
strange disappearance is known and the
the local and county officials were try
ing their best to unravel Monday.
The disappearance of Stanhope was
first reported Saturday afternoon by his
wife, who became alarmed at his pro
longed absence A search about town
was made Saturday evening and the only
trace of the man found was that he was
last seen shortly before s o'clock Sat
urday morning on Lincoln street in Fox
croft 1t was also learned that a man
answering his description went to George
ii. f1OXle SpOItlliS SoOuS StOlC SatdI
day morning and purchased a 32-calibre
revolver He purchased no ammunition,
however.
Sunday morning the fire alarm was
sounded and several hundred men en-
ployes turned out and searched Dover
and Foxcroft in thorough fashion, but
were unable to discover any trace OF
the missing man. The search was con-
tinued throughout the day but without
results.
Monday morning. Frederick l.. Fair
of Bangor. superintendent of the In
surance company that employed Stan
hope. came to Dover and lent his as
sistance to the search. SuDt. Fair told
a reporter that there was nothing So
riously wrong with Stanhope's financial
dealings with the company. and that
he was at a loss to account for the
1isappearance of the man. whom he
considered one of his most efficient
agents in this section. \ sum Of money
for salary was due Stanhope, accord
inc to Supt. Stanhope.
Mrs. Stanhope. who was a teacher
in the Foxcroft schools was at a loss
to account for the strange disappear
ance of her husband and is nearly
frantic with anxiety over the affair
She insists that she knows no reason
whatsoever to cause him to remain
away for so long a time.
1t was learned Monday morning that
station Agent w. w. Flint OF the.
Main Central railroad is fairly posi-
tive that he saw Stanhope at the
Maine Central station shortly before
the departure of the northbound Ban
COR & Aroostook train Saturday morn
ing No person can be found who
saw him take the train and no trace
of the missing man has been discovered
in any of the up-river towns.
Stanhope's description is given as
follows: Age, about 35 years; six feet
tall with 7orid face and high cheek
bones: wore a light gray overccat
with blue serge suit. also light gray
hat with straight brim; wore low
shoes.

SOAKED PEAS AND BEANS.
If Represented as Fresh, Products Vio-
late Food and Drugs Act.

The officials in charge of the en-
forcement of the Food and Drugs Act
are again calling attention to the prac-
tice of soaking dried peas and dried
lima beans until they have the ap.
canning them. Such products are then
in many instances sold as the canned
fresh article. Unless soaked peas and
lima beans are plainly labeled as
soaked" or in some other manner so
as to show their character. they arc
regarded as in violation of the Food
and Drugs Act.
There is no denial that soaked peas
and lima beans are a wholesome arti~
Gle of food. They are. however. ad-
mittedly inferior in quality to tho
products prepared from the fresh veg"
etables. Furthermore. the dried peas
or beans may themselves be pun
chased by the housewife quite cheaplv
and while in the dried condition NAV
be commercially and satisfactorily
stored for future use
Save Tin Plate.
The housewife will also do her bit in
the conservation of our limited supplv
of tin plate by soaking and cooking her
own dried peas and lima beans in tho
kitchen and thereby releasing a pro.
portional amount of tin cans for use in
the packing of perishable foods. whers
they are greatly needed.
Consumers are urged to read labels
OF canned peas and lima beans care
FUZZY IN order to see whether or not
they are getting fresh or soaked
dried product.

The Lees Smith Resolution

Mr.. Lees Smiths action WIS then
nc2atiVed without division
The Lees Smith Resolution
Mr. Lees Smith. in moving his res
olution maintained that successive Sc
ret agreements between the allies had
carried their war aims far beyond the
original aims. He declared that the
recent rumor that Germany in addi-
ton to losing Alsa ce-L Lorraine was to
be deprived of territories on the left
bank of the Rhine had been confirm
ed in Il secret session of the French
chamber by NJ. Ribot
Foreign Secretary Balfour interject-
Cd here that there never was such an
agreement. Mr. Lees Smith etur.ed
that it was an agreement made be-
tween France ard Russia while Mich
oltS II was emperor.
If this was carried out, said the mem
her. there would be a new series of
causes of discomfort discord and hat
led which would once again drench
Europe in war and blood
Mr.. LeeS-Smith advocated A League
of Nations and the Paris conference
resolutions against imperialistic de-
signs in all parts of the world. He con :
tended it would be impossible to get
reace without n solution Of the Alsace-
Lorraine problem which both sides
would be willing to accept. and in con-
clusion pleaded for a conference for
the discussion of peace terms.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 23.-Twelve
hundred and seventy-two delegates
have been commissioned by Governor
Harris to the great Georgia Food con-
ference to be held in Macon tomorrow
morning at 8 O'Clock, and it is ex-
pected that fully 80 per cent, if not

The conference was called by the
state food council appointed by the
governor in pursuance of the program
outlined by the great national food
council recently held in st. Louis I'M
der the auspices of the federal gov
eminent. The national council asked
the governor in every state to appoint
state food council, which would
work out plans for increasing the food
production in every state. The Geor-
gia food council met last week in At
lanta and determined to hold a state
food conference to be attended by dele
gates from every county commissioned
by the governor.
The conference will discuss the gen.
eral food situation in the state, and
ADOPT such plans as may be applica-
bic to the state as a whole. while dele
gates from each county will be au-
thorized to form an organization in
their respective counties Immediately
on returning home to handle the local
situation.

ON FLOOD BILL

Military Power.
WHITE HOUSE INSISTS
ON ORIGINAL DRAFT
Bill Before the House is Not
Satisfactory to the
President.

Washington March 1.-Spurrsd BY
the developments Of the intern alton Al
situation, the house today took up the
bill to cIotae the president with su-
thority to deal with the German sub.
marine menace under an agreement
to vote after three hours debate.
White House Doesn't Approve.
The statement was made officially
that the white house stands behind the
bill as drawn in the senate first, last
and all the time" and does not ap-
prove the house bill In its entirety be-
cause it does not provide the other in
strumentalities' which the president
desires, and proposes to refuse war
insurance to ships which carry mu-
nitions.
The portions the administration
wants may be inserted on the floor OF
the house or after the bill gets to the
senate.
At the outset of the house debate
Chairman Flood aroused intense en-
thusiasm on both sides Every ref
erence to Americas willingness to pro-
tect the rights of citizens wherever
they had a right to travel was me,
with volley of applause.
Cites Precedent.
He cited that authority for ths
president to act as suggested in the
bill had been granted to other execu-
tives in 1894. 1898, 1908, 1915. 1899 and
1855. and incidentally attacked the pa
cifists protesting against the bill.
IN 17ss.' he continued, conditions
were much as they are today. Eng
land and France were at war and
France was preying on commerce as
Germany is today. Many people In
this country at that time said oui
rights should not be upheld and that
to uphold them would lead to war with
France. We gave the president the
power. our commerce was protected
our honor indicated, and war wa.
averted"
