Promotion for an
Augusta Young Man

Tuesdays Portland Press has
the following news item, which will
be of interest to the many friends of
both the parties mentioned, particu-
larry as one is an Augusta boy:
Clarence d. Mexican, who has been
the head of the bureau of dnvestiga-
ton of the department Of justice for
the State of Maine since February.
1918, and has had headquarters at
the federal building in this city. has
been transferred to Pennsylvania,
where he will be in charge Of the
Pittsburgh Office. The Pittsburgh Of
flee is one of the large offices main
tanned by the department, and Mr..
McKean's transfer to it is of course,
in the nature of promotion and
would seem a fitting recognition OF
the energy and efficiency of his work
here.
Before coming to Portland Mr.. Nc
Kean was connected with the Boston
Office of the department of justice.
and for a time during the early part
of the war directed the, work of the
naval intelligence at the Boston navy
yard. He was then transferred to
this city with the whole, State of
Maine for his territory, and had an
augmented force working under him
during the war.
Before entering government service
Mr.. Mexican practiced law in New
Hampshire He is a graduate Of the
Georgetown University Law school.
Mr.. McKean's family. has already
left Portland and will visit in Wash
ington before joining him in Pitts
burgh.
Upon Mr.. McKean's departure from
Portland Joseph E. p. Dunn. who has
been associated with Mr.. Mexican In
the work in Maine. will become acting
special agent of the department with
headquarters in Portland. Prior to
entering the service of the department
Mr. Dunn had been connected in turn
with the State auditors office and the
State treasurer's Office.

similar differences would lead to
similar surrenders. France was gen
orally criticized for insisting upon
foolish policy, with very little ap-
probation of the fact that the policy
had been British and that the French
insistence was dictated, not by any
interest in the immediate issue, but
by concern for the treaty itself.
After this unhappy revelation
conditions grew materially worse.
The British clamor for a revision
downward Of the treaty grew louder,
and therefore made an ever increas-
ing impression upon Lloyd George.
More and more British policy came
TO envisage course which in French
eyes amounted to desertion of
France. For, as the French Justly
pointed out, modification of the
treaty could cost the British moth
ing, while insuring greater profits
to British trade. Thus Britain was
in the position Of having harvested
her fruits Of the common victory in
the shape of colonies, fleets and the
destruction Of a commercial rival
and was now seeking to reduce the
gains Of France resulting from the
victory, gains which did not pass
the limits of bare security and

war and came to this country bear
ing high reputation for gallantry
IN action. With the exception of
fifteen days spent in the hospital re.
covering from a wound in the head
he was constantly in service from
the day Italy entered the war until
the armistice With Austria was
signed. Once when in the midst of
his troops one Of his coloncls was
killed at his side.
AT Caporetto, and again on the
Piave, when the Germans were bat
tering their way toward Venice, a
goal they never achieved. the pictur-
esquely garbed fighters under him
won distinction for aggressiveness
and courage under fire. Now shoul-
der to shoulder in the valleys, and
again scaling perilous heights in the
mountains in search of vantage
points for the sharpshooters, the
plumed Bersaglieri were constantly
in the thick of the fighting.

General Caselli was selected bv
his government to make q labor sur
vey Of the United States because of
his knowledge Of English and his
acquaintance with the country. His
wife, formerly Miss Mary Phelps,
Is Of American birth and owns q
large plantation near Vicksbure.
Miss. They were married after the
Worlds Fair in Chicago. where
Count Caselli, then a first lieutenant
in the Italian army, served as secre-
tary general to the Italian mission.
In his investigation of labor con-
ditions in the United States, which
was made with the specific purpose
of developing new opportunities for
Italian immigration into this cour-
trv. General Caselli visited New Or
leans and the agricultural regions
Of Mississippi ard Louisiana; Cali
fornia, including San Francisco,
Los Angeles and other cities in that
state; Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit
and other large centcrs Offering op-
portunities for foreign labor.
II must admit" said General
Caselli recently, when telling of his
observations and experiences, that
l found among Americans general
WEAKNESS Of contact with Euro
peans. SO the country is not favor
ably disposed toward immigration at
the present time. There is a fear
OF opening the doors to undesirable
aliens and anarchists. Then also,
there is a certain amount of oppo-
sition on the part Of organized labor.
Still, America needs labor, and in
Detroit was told by one in touch
with the situation that il 5000 Ital.

would all find employment before
twenty-four hours had passed.
"All over the United States |
found a great need Of laborers of
all kinds
General Caselli here intcrposed a
defense Of his countrynlen as desir-
able immigrants into the United
States.
In Defense of Italy
1.-The victorious outcome Of the
war has developed in Italians new
pride in themselves and their coun-
try" he said. "This means they
will be better citizens Of any coun-
try they adopt than ever before. You
may remember the lynchings of Ital-
ians that took place in New Orleans
years ago. That was always a
source of great humiliation to me
and to other Italians who love their
people and desire to see them held
in respect by the rest Of the world.
But there have been many changes
since the days of that regrettable in
cident in New Orleans. Feuds and
vendettas leading to acts Of violence
have been disappearing gradually as
result Of civilizing influences.
''In Italy, at the present time. we
have no soviets, and the only desire
OF the people is to work. They have
70 thoughts along radical lines ard
no desire to promote industrial and
social upheavals. And may cali at
tcntion to the fact that of the H.
100000 Italians in the United States
few, If any. have been mentioned in
connection with the recent agitations
Of anarchists.
II am convinced from my forty
tive days Of constant travelling and
investigation in the United States
that in the rural and agricultural
districts especially there are great
opportunities for Italian workers.
The Italian is accustomed to inten-
sive cultivation and is good farm
er and truck gardener. If on my
plantation in Mississippi | was able
TO employ 200 Italian families
would have no worry about The LAND
being properly titled. The same is
true OF many other acreages in the
South, and, of course, Of California,
where the sunny skies and the gen.
lal climate are very much like they
are IN Italy. There the Italians
could live very happily and become
producers Of value to the country.
I'm the past many Italians coming
to the United States were taken to
the large cities, where they re-
indoor work, instead of engaged in
nalned, ,going into factories or other
agricultural employment. fox Which

Of restoring French provinces and
cities.
British journals and speakers
talked Of French imperialism, which
was, in fact, expressed in the de-
termination to obtain for France all
Of what seemed to the French the
insufficient benefits guaranteed to
them under the Treaty Of Versailles.
French journals and speakers more
and more discussed British action
and purpose as amounting to a de-
sertion of an ally, the sacrifice of
France and French safety to the
prospective profits of German trade
and to the desire to escape all costs
incident to applying the treaty. The
French pointed out that the British
had the troops necessary to occupy
Constantinople, Bagdad, Jerusalem,
to secure all the detectives Of
British imperialism, but none to sup
port the French on the Rhine, where
the French were still in the presence
of the common enemy.
The French Alliance
TO all this was added the Ameri-
can course. France had accepted
the Treaty of Versailles only be-
cause the British and the American
representatives had solemnly agreed
that Britain and America would
support France unhesitatingly and to
