justified Germany's action in seeking
to ally Mexico and Japan against the

Such a course, he said, was merely
a defensive measurement to be car

States declared war on Germany.
Moreover, he said, it was no more a

ported in South American newspa-
peTs as having been undertaken
against Germany by the United
States, when America sought, ac-
cOrding to South American and other
newspaper reports, to line up the
American republics in common
action against Germany.

on Americas prO-ally sympathies.
He refrained from admitting specific

Thursday Afternoon - Hear
ing Before Justice Phil

The March term Of the supreme ju-
dicial court for Kennebec county was
finally adjourned Thursday afternoon.
A hearing was held before Associate

The petitioner claimed an appeal
from the probate court on a decree Or
