AGAINST AIRING WAR AIMS
Many Germans Believe Present Time
Is Inopportune.

London, May 13 A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from
Amsterdam says
The Berlin newspaper Germania
claims to have been informed from
bundesrath circles that during discus.
sions in the committee of foreign af-
fairs and in the bundesrath the opin-
ion was unanimously expressed that
it would be inopportune to discuss
Germanys war aims in the reichstag
at the present moment.
1t is remarkable, the correspondent
continued, that both the Vorwaerts
and Tages Zeitung, referring to the
struggle that is going on around the
German imperial chancellor, says that
the fight is not directed against Dr.
Won Bethmann- Hollweg personally.

nellie MCvEY And
CHARLES GOODWIN
EACH HELD IN 5000
For April Term of the Superior
Court, When Arraigned Tues
day Morning at the Municipal
Court to Answer to Charge of
Statutory Offence-Both Fur
nish Bonds

The principal matter before the
Tuesday session of the municipal court
was the arraignment before Judge LanT
caster of Nellie McVey of North Vas
salboro and Charles Goodwin of Gardi-
ner, both of whom were charged with
a statutory offense, which cases grew
out of the raid by the sheriffs at the
Casey house at 166 water street last
Saturday night The cases were heard
separately and the respondent in eacn
case was represented by Burleigh Mar
tin.
The McVey girl upon being arralgned
waived examination and pleaded not
guilty. Evidence for the prosecution
was introduced by Dephty Sheriffs Nc
Causland, Pomerleau, Written ana
Nash which was in effect that "heh
they entered the room in which the re-
spondents were found the woman was
in bed and the man sat on the loot OF
the bed Deputy Sheriff Nash also
, stated that the woman told MN that
she and Goodwin were married. Al the
conclusion of the hearing the court
found probable cs.ise to hold her IN the
sum of $500 for appearance at the April
term of the superior court.
When Goodwin was arralgned ne
waived a reading of the warrant ano
pleaded not guilty but at the conciu-
sion of his hearing, as had been the
case of the McVey girl, the court founo
probable cause to hold him in similar
bond for the April term of the superior
court. Both bonds were furnished ano
the respondents were released.
The other business before the cour'
for the day was one case of intoX1ca-
ton in which the respondent on beng
found guilty was given sentence OF
IS and costs or so days in jail. Inc
fine was paid and the man was released
The respondent explained to the Judge
that he came down out of the woods
three days ago with $50 in his pocket
but that as the result of his jollfica-
ton he had only 81 left. He further
allowed that he was going back to the
woods as soon as he could get there
and that the next time he came home
he was going to see to it that he did
not lose his money.
