Enemy Son of British Princess.

Claremont, the fine old mansion and
property at Esher, in England, where
the greatly lamented and once tre-
mendously popular Princess Charlotte,
daughter of George w, spent her mar
ried life, has been turned into a girls
school under the pressure of war. The
duchess of Albany owns it now, whose
son, the duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha,
Is married to a niece Of the German
emperor, and is in the war against US.
There is a pretty strong feeling in
England against permitting him to in
herit the beautiful property at his
mothers death.

s'Who Shall Lead the Women's Clubs
is the caption of an entertaining and
timely article in the Bangor Daily News
of last Saturday. 1t states that the
present incumbent, Miss Fannie E. Lord
of that city, will not be candidate for
reelection on account of i'll health. The
writer is confident if Bangor names a
candidate she will be given clear field
at the election next March. Among the
possible candidates it names Mrs Amos
Clement of this city, now the Fedora
TONS first vice president, and says of
her:
''Mrs. Amos Clement of Belfast is
another woman who is nearly always
mentioned when anyone is speaking of
presidential possibilities. She is now
first vice president of the federation.
Her fine executive ability would make
her a most desirable candidate. She is
the president of the Belfast Woman's
Club, one of the strong clubs of the
State, and there is no more popular wom-
an in the federation. Some of her friends
have limited that she would not allow her
name to be used, but Others are Just as
certain that she would accept nomina-
ton, though she would make no contest
for the honor. If it comes to her, she
doubtless would accept.
Mrs. Clement has splendid grasp of
things, is keenly alive to educational in
terests and is excellent in all civic work.
she has the mind of man as one club
woman puts it."

TWO BELFAST BOYS MISSING. Lyle
c. and Henry E., sons of Charles t, Lit
tlefield, left their home on the Pitcher
road in this city Wednesday forenoon,
Dec Goth, unbeknown to their father or
step-mother, who are very anxious to
hear from them and have them return.
Lyle, aged Is, is medium height, has
rather small features, dark brown eyes
and black curly hair. He wore dark
brown and grey plaid coat with brown
trousers, leggings and tan rubbers. Henry,
aged IA, was a member of grade nine in
the city schools. He has light brown
hair and blue eyes. He wore navy blue
suit and sweater, leggings and black rub
bers with leather tops. Frances Went
worth, aged 10 years, an acquaintance of
the boys says she saw them on the street
near the depot in the afternoon of the
Goth and that they told her they were
going on the train but did not say where.
Their father says they had been saving
their earnings for some time, but he did
not know the amount they had when
they left home. Norman McCorrison of
this city, neighbor of these boys, recent
ly went to Nyanza, Cape Breton, to live
and has been corresponding with Henry.
Mr.. Littlefield says that Norman wrote
for the boys to come to Nyanza last fall
and that they had threatened to 60 but
he thought it twas boys talk" and did
not pay any attention to it. He has tried
to locate them and asks The Journals as
sistance in the case by publishing this
item.
