the doings in the Hub Of a man well

A man who says he is Harry Wing,
40 years, of Winthrop, Me, is at the
Relief Hospital under observation,
after having caused conmotion at
the State House yesterday afternoon
when he raced up the steps as Gov.
Mccall was returning from lunch
and yelled murder at the top of his
lungs.
He was on the pedestal of the
Hooker statue when he made this
thrilling and startling declaration
and Immediately collapsed. Officers
who rushed to his side were told the
murder had happened on the Com
mon.
While some assisted Wing to his
feet others rushed to the Common to
investigate. but could find no sign of
any trouble.
Wing was taken to the Relief Hos

COL. HEATING APPEALS
TO BRITONS IN MAINE
Calls upon British Subjects to Enlist
at Once--They Are Needed to Heip
Win the War

Col. John -. Heating, officer COM
handing Portland Depot, B. & G.. r.
NJ. has issued the following appeal
10 every British subject in the State
Of Maine to come forward to enlist
at once:
Britain eeds every man to help
to win this war. The losses in the
present battle have been very heavy.
We are engaged in the greatest bat
tie IN the worlds history. There are
thousands today fighting who have
come from New England states and
Lave left their oil for the cause.
Even II the lives Of these men have
been spared 80 far they can not fight
indefinitely without casualties, and
others must be ready to take their
places. Why do Britishers stay here
in peace and fancied security and al
low others to do the fighting. The
men now fighting over there owe no
more to their flag and country than
you do over here.
1t has been repeatedly said time
and time again that when Britain
called, many would answer. Britain
is now calling everybody In Amer
lea to answer. In America far
away from the sound Of the
guns, in good homes. with ample
food and good wages. are you go
/ ing to carry on and allow the Ger
mans to win this war. British and
| Canadians are now urged to come
forward to do their duty today: do
not wait until tomorrow. that may
be too late. The whole success Of this
drive will depend on two things the
number of reserves that Germany
can keep in the front, and the num-
| Der of men We can furnish to with
stand the hammering. Insufficient
supplies Of abl@ men for future as
saults means certain defeat for us
Defeat for us not only means the an
utilization Of the British Empire. but
/ the ruin of America. There is no use
trying to disguise the seriousness OF
| the present crisis. Every man
should come forward who can carry
q gun or work in the n-combatan,
units-a hundred and one different
ways to help win the war. Britons
are not Respondent ~ to the ultimate
outcome of the present offensive; we
are going to stop this offensive and
eventually carry the war through
/ to the only possible end-the absolute
defeat Of the Germans and victory
| for democracy.
You cannot be in time now for the
present defense but If you will come
! forward now you will be able to
participate in the final drive that will
