To Change and Improve United States
Diplomatic and Consular Service.
By REPRESENTATIVE JULIUS KAHN Of California

World war has changed entirely our relationship
with the rest of the world Our practically complete
isolation Of the period from 1865 to 1898 is gone for
ever Whether we like it or not, are now thrown
into the very vortex of world politics.
Therefore the first thing to do, in my opinion,
is to change and improve diplomatic and consular
services All too frequently in the past appointments
to diplomatic posts have been made to reward the
large contributors to the campaign fund OF the sue
cessful candidate for the presidency. Both political

Sheriffs Robinson, Dutton and Fran
els Harwood to Hallowell last Friday,
Charles Campana and George Arata
of Hallowell were arraigned before
Judge Robert A. Cony at the Augusta
municipal court on Saturday morn
ing. They were represented by At

Campana pleaded not guilty to the
charge of illegal possession of intoxi-

the April term of the Kennebec SUI
perior court.
Arata pleaded nolo contendere to
the charge of having in his possession

Frank DutiI of Augusta whose
home and store on Mill street was
