Queer Act Canadian
Officer in Maine

No immediate prospects OF hos
tilitieS with Canada are in sight
but here is story that will undoubt-
eddy lead to crisp words between the
governments Of the United States
and Canada and possibly as serious
conditions as existed at the time OF
the famous Madawaska war. Seri-
ously. however, this is the story Of a
strange piece of work on the part OF
Canadian officials and one that is
thorities at Washington.
And it is about time for an in
vestigation-when an officer of
another country crosses the boundary
line. takes a discharged American
soldier into custody and drags him
across the boundary into the other
country, without leave or license, so
far as this country is concerned.
This is what happened:
Hughie McGovern. a Canadian by
birth. has been for number of years
in this country. making his home for
at least five years in Wytopitlock.
He has taken out his first naturali-
zation papers at Bangor. He did not
but was willing and did serve in the
American army, being honorably dis
charged at the end of the war, at
Camp Devens. He went in unifrom
to visit his parents in Canada. The
officials there told him not to again
leave that country. He did so and
returned to his Wytopitlock home.
A Canadian officer of some kind and
degree entered the United States
State of Maine-without invitation
or legal authority, took by force
Hughie McGovern and carried him
across the border into Canada, where
he supposedly now is.
The matter was reported to the
attorney general of Maine by the
Wytopitlock Public Safety Commit
tee chairman. and after securing all
the facts the attorney general re-
ported 1t 70 the adjutant general,

ests of the State Of Maine. including

Adams. chief Of the Bureau of Mar

ture. said in relation to the objects
Of the meeting:
AT this period Of high prices Of
commodities and labor. following the
war, it seems absolutely essential
that the farmers should be organized
and onto their job. During the re-
adjustment period, when prices Of
commodities and labor naturally go
lower. unless the farmers are well
organized and in a position to pro-
tect their interests. farm products
will reach too low a level in COM
parison with other products. as they
always have in the past. l think

The Summer Schools

DR.. Augustus o. Thomas, State super
intendent of public schools, says in rela-
ton to the proposed summer schools for
secondary school teachers:

but owing to the fact that the plan 10

financial outlay considerable. it seems
necessary to have definite assurance as
to the number of persons who will avail

showing the courses to be offered and
the general items Of expense. The re-
sponses SO far have been very crafty
. ing.
1.-THE schools will open July and
! probably at Bates college. If any other
location is selected. the difference in
travelling expense will be negligible.
The purpose of the school is to provide
an opportunity for the study of high
school administration and methods and
for work in the subjects usually offered
in high school curricula with special
reference to organization and meth
DDS of instruction. Provision will also
be made for advanced study in all these
subjects by means of a seminar plan
This will offer to teachers an oppor.
! tunity to carry on such special ad-
vanced work as their individual needs
require. Special attention will be given
to the junior high school movement by
providing courses relating to the organi-
| cation and administration of such
schools as well as methods of teaching
the various subjects offered in the pro.
gram.
THE proposed school is intended pri-
marily for teachers in service. An ef-
fort will be made to emphasize the
courses of instruction and special needs
! Of high schools in this State. 1t is pro-
posed to maintain the following courses
| of instruction at the school:

Belgium. His name was sent to the
Senate earlier is the day By President
Wilson.

Won Eckardt Explains How
Propaganda Was Pushed;
Says Carranza Was Won
After Skagerack Battle

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.--Count Won
Eckhardt, whose activities as German
Minister to Mexico during the war
were credited as responsible for the
strong pro-German sentiment in the
southern republic, warns his fellow
countrymen against emigrating to
Argentina and Mexico until they are
certain that conditions there are IA
vorablc for them, according to one of
his recent lectures, a copy of which
has just been received in Washington
from Germany. Minister Won Eckhardt
boasts of his success in winning Car
rama to the side Of the Germans and
is quoted as saying.
"The country is still pro- German to-
day and its sympathy for Germany
will not be killed. What advantages
we may derive from this prediction
depend wholly upon our abilities to in
culcate into the Mexican people Ger
man culture, and upon our keeping up
the reputation we have gained for capa-
bility and trustworthincss.
Won Eckhardt asserts that Carranza
became wholly pro-Gcrman after the
battle of Skagerack, although he did
not openly proclaim the fact"
The former minister outlines all of
the various steps taken at his direction
to "develop a system of farreaching
propaganda in behalf of the German
common weal' These steps, as he
enumerates them, included publication
of newspaper giving the German Of
ficial communicates and Of German books,
staging of German plays, introduction of
German music and establishment of a
German school.
"The Americans" says the former
Minister, "arc striving to obtain for
themselves the whole Mexican market
and they carry on commercial espion-
age quite openly. American success
will only be of passing nature. Ger
man goods will again be imported and
at higher prices. But the American
competition must not be treated very
lightly. 1t is desirable that the Ger
man exporters pool themselves in or
der to enable them to have a store in
common in Mexico"

the first subjects brought up for dis
cussion at the labor and industrial
conference called by President Wilson
to meet here Monday, it was learned
to-day from Department of Labor Off

ments for the meeting.
Secretary Wilson has drawn I'D a

meeting will be open to representatives
Of the press has not been decided. 1t
was said to-day by those making ar
rangements for the meeting the ques-
ton Of publicity probably would be
left to the decision of the conference.
A suggestion has been made that news
paper men be not admitted to the con-
ference room, but that such parts Of
the proceedings as the conferrees de-
cided to make public be given to the
press as the conference proceeds This
plan would be similar to the recent

ident Wilson and the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
