THE SNOW BLOCKADE
Having a Disastrous Eject Upon Business in
Northern Maine.

Bangor, Me. March "a snow block
AIDE in northern Maine is having a serious
effect on all kinds of business Up to the
first of March conditions were about nor
NAL but about that time spell of I'M
usually warm weather came and the snow
disappeared rapidly. the roads becoming
almost impa ssable in places. and the Ice
in the lakes and streams being greatly
weakened.
This has been followed by a period Of
exceptionally severe weather, the mer-
curry falling on several days to mark
below zero making icy streets in the
towns and a hard crust in the country.
This was succeeded by "A series OF fierce
blzzards three of which came last week.
Along the line of the Bangor 4 Aroos-
took Railroad in northern PenobScot ana
Aroostook counties the snow is from To
Is feet deep along the tracks. and on the
Fort Fairfield branch freight traffic has
been greatly impedcd. ii being Impossible
to haul ANY but short and light trains.
Short lumber operators have found 1t
impossible TO get their stock TO the line
of the railroad, and in some parts Of
Aroostook the farmers have had n hard
time getting their potatoes to the snip
ping points.
In the lumber woods hauling is almost
suspended. so deep are the drifts. AMI
now that the snow is getting "slumpy
the tote roads. over which the men and
the provision teams travel, are nearly i'm
pasSable
II is hoped that this great bulk of snow
will pass off without damage, but sudden
warm weather and rains undoubtedly VIII
bring disastrous results.
Maine weather watchers say this winter
has been the most remarka BILE in 80 years,
There have been 1l9 days of good sleigh
ing in Bangor and there is now a good
prospect of two weeks more.

The Gar and Finland.

Now while the preparations are go
ing on for the conference of nations to
discuss the disarmament proposal of
the Car, it is of interest to notice the
course that the great ruler is following
toward helpless little Finland. The
Car has violated his most sacred Oath
to respect the rights of the people of
Finland. and because of the sympathy
of the liberal nations of the world with
the people of Finland, the Cars peace
congress may be something of a fail
ure. The Car, his father, and his
grandfather each swore an oath to re-
spcct the constitution of Finland, and
a framed copy of this oath hangs in
every church. But all Finland is in
despair, for the Car has violated Fin
lands rights and her constitution and
has ordered that So per cent. of the
young men, instead of 10 per cent,
must enter the Russian army for five
years service with liability for seven
years more, and Finland must pay
10, DOC, 900 marks as military contribu-
ton.
Helsingfors, the capital of Finland, is
in mourning, the theaters and all
places of amusement are closed, the
newspapers are printing papers Dor
dered with the black of mourning and
with headlines: "A Nation in Mourn
ing" and the young men have started
Il movement for a wholesale emigration
to America. When the Cars mani
festo was laid before the Senate of Fin
land. which consists of 20 members. 10
of the members, fearing an armed
Russian occupation. voted to accept
the proposal but the other members
voted against it, and had it not been
for the vote of the president of the SEN
ate in favor of the manifesto the Car
would have been rebuked and it is
probable that a Russian army would
have Immediately crossed the borders
of that suffering country.
A recent dispatch from st. Peters
burg stated that the Finnish delega-
ton of 400 people, who recently arrived
to petition the Car. had been ordered
to return home Immediately, the Car
refusing to see them. An English pa
per declares that the Car is the DIR.
Jekyl! and Mr.. Hyde of today. While
smilingly proposing peace and uni
versal disarmament to the nations Of
the world, he is using the lash on Fin
land and forcing thousands of young
men into the Russian army When
the peace conference meets the nations
of the world may join in sending a
committee to the Car to tell him just
what the world thinks of a hypocrite.

Reflections Of a Bachelor.

A man lies to prevent trouble; woman
lies to make 1t.
A dowdy woman is as pleasing to a man
as mushy sponge that is falling to
pieces
A woman can always tell mans fall
ings by the amount of praise he doesn' I
lavish on her new spring hat.
A woman will forgive man all kinds of
brutality If ne only pretends that it's be-
cause he Is an ardent lover.
The most wonderful thing about baby
is the way he conceals his shame at hear
ing the queer sort of stuff his mother
talks to him.
The only sin that a good many women
fear is getting caught at IL.
1t Is only when a girl is getting inter-
ested In a man that she takes particular
pains TO let him know she isn't.
The husband who begins by resolving
10 let his wife have her own way in ev
erything generally ends by letting her
have ii in nothing.
When man ceases to coyet one neigh
boris wife and turns to coveting anothers
the second one explains it to her own
satisfaction by saying he is repenting.-

More light on SPANS Shame.

The recent developments which show
the very small size of the Cuban in
surgent army are of great interest for
"a varietysof reasons. The fact that it
now numbers less than $4,000 officers
and men proves how wild and fanciful
were those estimates made year or
so ago. Now. if ever. its real strength
would appear large, when the long
looked for pay day has actually arrived
at last. 1t is certain that the fighting
it did during the recent war did not do
much to thin out the Cuban army
What has been discovered by our own
reliable representatives serves to con-
firm the view that was held by the
serious and conservative journals OF
this country during the, instruction.
But convincing as the evidence is on
this point, it is not one-half so as
founding as the evidence which goes
along with it to prove the impotence OF
the Spaniards. There was no DOUBT
about the size of their army. 1t was
big one, and it was fairly well equipped.
sumptuousiy equipped. indeed, by COM
parison with the, insurgents guerrilla
bands. And it did practically nothing
except to perish gradually from the
fatal effects Of the climate.
An American force of a quarter of its
numbers under American commanders
would have swept the country from
one end to the other. But the corrup-
ton and incompetency of their leaders
had so affected the inert mass of I'M
willing, spiritless recruits. and the
of tropical fevers because Of
improper care had added SO much to
their misery. that they were worthless
in any aggressive enterprise that took
them out Of garrison. For Spain the
showing is even more shameful and
humliating than the crushing defeats
Of the war with the United States.

The little countries of Chill ana Ar
gentine are not making any noise
about it, but they are showing the
Gar that they know something about
disarmament. The two countries have
patched up their differences, and have
each agreed to sell four warships. The
warships are of the very finest up-to-
date class of armored cruisers and will
not wait long for takers. The agents
of the Gar are probably inspecting
them even now.
