Bangor, Nov. 1s.-William Rogers,
so years old. was brought to his home
here Tuesday night, exhausted after
being lost in the woods for six days
and five nights.
With Elmer Jones OF Brewer he
had been hunting and trapping in
camp in Aurora. about % miles
east Of Bangor. Last Wednesday,
Rogers struck deer track and fol-
lowed it for some time and lost his
way. He camped out over night. as
he was accustomed to do, but lost
his bearing altogether and it appears
that he worked farther away from
his camp all the time.
Jones started a searching party,
vino picked up the tracks of the miss
ing man. but lost them when a snow
storm came up. Rogers was finally
found Tuesday afternoon, near ALI
gator Lake. exhausted and with feet
frostbtten. He had been without

affirmation at the head of the Chinese
plan was given no particular signifi-
canoe except as another vehicle by
which the cases of Shantung and
Manchuria could be brought before
the conference. That China propo-
ses also to guarantee that no more OF
her territory be alienated in the fu-
ture was taken to mean that she de-
sired to be definitely bound by treaty
in such a way that should future
land grabbing" be attempted she
could point to this commitment with
the great powers as an insurmount-
able barrier.
What theory is behind the sugges-
ton for future continuing conferences
of the powers to consider the Far
Eastern situation has not been re-
vealed by the Chinese group, but it
was indicated tonight that the Chin
csc delegates might be seeking by this
method to throw behind their govern
ment the moral support and en-
couragement her statesmen always
have sought from the stronger ma
tons.

Strand Theatre Feature Has Unique
Appeal.

If you are tired of the ordinary

for some new twist and some new
settings for your photoplay pleasure,
don't fail to visit the Strand theatre

Bell" is the offering and the dis
Effectiveness of it's appeal marks it as
one of the few remarkable pictures.
The action Of the story takes place
in Louisiana. a lf-forgotten spot
which still shows the influence of the
early French settlers. The story
deals with a contested will. IN the
struggle for possession of the House
of the Tolling Bell, honor and up-to-
date intelligence clashes with ignor-
ance and the superstition on the
natives. The interest centers upon
a beautiful young girl, whose honor
and future depends upon the issue.
The struggle is ended by a surprise
climax which is most amazing, yet
logical and within bounds Of reason.
