fIoung Julian Carried Wounded
to Safety Over Road in
Sight of Enemy

Shades of Elisha Allen. former
chief justice Of the supreme court OF
Hawaii, have cast their influence up
on a descendant who at II years Of
age has won a name on the battle
fields of France
The story is told in the Evening
Commercial Of Bangor, Maine, the
city from which the Allen family
started on the road to fame, and also
in dispatches to the New York
World. The Bangor Commercial says:
. Blood will tell the old saying
goes and its truth is proven in the
case of Julian Allen, son OF a Bangor
man who was a coxswain OF Har-
ward boat crew that never met de-
feat and grandson Of another Bangor
man who was congressman from this
district in 1S41, later chief justice OF
the supreme court of the Sandwich
Islands, and still later diplomatic rep
4esentative to the United States from
the Sandwich Islands. Julian Allen

There is an unpublished story OF
how an insidiouS attempt was made
in 1913 and 1914 by Germany to en-
broil Japan and the United States in
dispute which it was hoped by the
plotter would lead to war between the
the nations. 1t is recalled by the
reference of Senator Salisbury of
Delaware, when welcoming the lshii
mission in the United States senate
on last Thursday, to the insidious and
industrious attempts which had been
made by Germany to create distrust
between Japan and the United States.
This unpublished story is known tC
few persons in Hawaii who had the
pleasure OF meeting a Japanese attor-
ney of New York who visited here two
years ago This attorney, who has
since died, was of American birth ana
was selected by Theodore Roosevelt!
to act as his personal representative
at the signing of the Portsmouth
treaty, when the then President of the
United States was successful in aiding
to establish peace between Russia and
Japan.
AS this Japanese attorney told the
story to friends here, when the war
talk between America and japan be-
came dangerous in the latter part. OF
1918 and the early part of 1914, diplo-
mats of the two countries decided up,
on cooperated action to determine
who was responsible for the mouth
ings of the jingoes OF both nations:
Secret service men of both nations
were assigned to the task of finding
out who it was that wanted war be-
tween Japan and America. The at.

STORY TOLD HOW GERMANY TRIEO TO
MAKE TROUBLE BETWEEN JAPAN, US.

Secretary William Jennings Bryan
was hurrying across the continent for
conference with Gov. Hiram john
son and the California legislators, it
was asceTtained that party of doZ-
en- German plotters had headquarters
in the Palace Hotel in San Francisco,
who were supplying the funds to the
anti-Japanese element in California to
secure the passage of legislation which
might have resulted in a serious rup-
ture.
These plotters had been domiciled
at the Palace for several months and
pretended to be wealthy travellers on
a tour of the world. When their real
mission was discovered they were
given the choice of voluntarily Ieay
ing the country or deportation.
How acute the situation between
Japan and America was in the spring
OF 1914 is appreciated by all who had
any contact with the military powers
of either country. But like so much
German plotting, the hope of getting
America and Japan into a war, before
she began the attack on Belgium,
France and England, was frustrated
by the work of the American secret
service men. With America and ia
pan at war, Germany knew Japan
could not keep her pledge to England
and that America would be unable to
supply munitions to the beIligerents
in Europe. So
Now, three years after Germany had
counted upon the elimination of her
despicable war plotting, Japan and
America are allies against the master
plotter and better understanding is
two nations.

Elisha II. Allen. grandfather of
Julian, and father of Frederick Hobbs
Allen, was a member Of Congress from
Fourth Maine in 1871, and achieved To-
:cal fame as the only man who ever
defeated the wonderfully popular Han,
.nibal Hamlin for public office. After
retiring from Congress, he removed to
the Sandwich Islands at the invitation
of a nephew who had become wealthy
there. The ex-congressman soon be
came a leading figure in that distant
community He was appointed chief
Justice of the supreme court of the
islands and dispensed justice impair
TALLY for years. Later, he was minis,
ter of the Sandwich Islands to the
United States. His death occurred in
the White House, suddenly at re-
ception to the diplomatic corps during
the term of President Chester A. Ar
thur. Mr.. Allen at that time was dean
of the corps.
While a resident of Bangor, his
home was on Broadway, in the resi-.
dence later occupied by Arad Thomp-
son and now the home of Mr.. Thomp-
sons daughter Mr.. Allen was mar
rid the second time to the daughter
of Frederick Hobbs of Bangor, whose
homestead was at tie corner Of Palm
and State streets, now occupied by
the Schwartz brothers.
His son, Frederick Hobbs Allen, was
born at Sandwich Islands and when
quite young lived in Bangor at the
Hobbs homestead. He attended school
here, later completing his academic
education at Lausanne, Switzerland.
He graduated from Harvard in 1880.
In 1877, he was coxswain of the Hars
ward boat crew, which won every race
in which 1t entered. TO digress, It may
be said that Sabin p. Sanger another
Bangor man, became coxswain OF this
crew in 1878 and 1879 and it continued
to maintain its proud record. William
II. Schwartz of Bangor was also a
member of this faI-ous crew.
To return to Frederick H. Allen, two
of his daughters, Barbara and Joan,
are now at the French front driving
Red Cross amDulances, and a son,
Frederick, is on the same front Truly
a remarkable Bangor family!

CHAMP CLARK WANTS
NEW NATIONAL ANTHEM

WASHINGTON, d. C.-What this

else is national anthem. | venture

weather, the many other things I

to add my voice, which, however
feeble it might be in these days, was

college, to the protest that The Star
Spangled Banner" is no song to sing.
1t is all right for band. The high
c cornetist has to flatten his lips till
they look like pants button to hit
the supreme effort of the tune, and
that is more than you can ask an
audience to do. ~.
We cannot use America" That is.
in truth, an old German air. If we
were seeking a national hymn, aside
from the war, we could not use
America for that one reason.
am not very strong for "Tippe
rary" and all the rest of that junk.
They sound we'll enough when blared
out on a brass band, but they still
lack the punch am waiting for the
real American song writer We have
given to the war about all we have; it
only remains for us to give the best
marching tune to which victorious
troops ever went forth to victory.

Some Republican legislatures

the sum Of s67. 90-that is they sell
the dressed article for $500 less than

where they come outl The answer is
that they make their profit out of
the 440 pounds which formerly went
to waste Surgical ligatures, tennis
