BIG SHOE COMPANIES
 ARE FINISHING UP ON
 THE LARGE WAR ORDERS

BOSTON. April 12.-Most of the shoe manufacturers are finishing up or have already finished all the large war orders for army shoes which they have on hand, and are now in a position to handle more of this work should 1t be forthcoming. Although there are said to be fur ther large contracts pending. none has apparently been recently placed.
 A rumor that tho Fred F. Field Go. of Brooklyn. who has been spec. ulating in army shoe work. had taken a very large new order meets with denial from an official of that com pany. The concern finished up its army work late last month having been engaged upon it since last May, and its large factory, which was de- voted entirely to army shoes. is now idle. It averaged to produce between 16,OOO and 17OOO pairs of shoes a day. In all. the company turned out between 1,5OO,OOO and 2,cOO.OOO pairs. It has a smaller factory which Is now handling domestic business and this Ifs running full.
 Among other concerns which had war orders. the F. F. Taylor Com pany. is now nearing the end of the work on the 1.75O.OOO pairs of Rus sian army boots, the contract for which 1t took last September, and will complete 1t some time this month.

 IS ON JOB

Juneau today has new chief Of police, w. s. Harding, aged S6, young man who comes from fam ny who for years has been In the business of cunning down criminals and as officers of various positions, has been engaged in the maintenance of law and order.
 Juneaus new chief took oflee this morning and almost the first busi, ness transacted was the re-appoint- ment Of officers Harrington and For sythe. Chief Harding was busy the entire day working out the details of his new duties and becoming famil- far with the various intricate prob lems which have suddenly descended upon him.
 Mir Harding is not unknown to Ju-' neau citizens, He has been in Alas. ka for five years and during that time has been connected with work which will now wholly absorb his attention. First coming to Alaska, he was for seven months guard at the Federal jail at Wrangell. He was then appointed deputy marshal at Flames and remained in that official capacity until last August. Coming to Juneau shortly afterwards he be came employed at the Alaska Cas- tineau company. at Thane, and only resigned from his position last night after having been elected chief of police.

BLUE PENCIL IS USED BY PRESIDENT TO TAME
 DOWN PREPAREDNESS

WASHINGTON, April H. PresI- dent Wilson has completed the work of editing his preparedness speeches made during Q recent Western tour, and the public document containing the first product, House Document sos, shows that he succeeded in modifying some of the discrepancies to which Colonel George Harvey and other critics called attention.
 At St. Louis the President reached the climax of his military demands by stating that "this country should have incomparably the greatest navy In the world.
 This phrase, as it appeared in the edited public document, reads this way: There is no other navy in the world which has to cover so great an area of defense as the American navy, and 1t ought. In my judgment be incomparably the most adequate navy in the world"
 The difference in the two versions is manifest, but 1t Is emphasized by a statement given out by the Anti. Preparedness" Committee. This or ganization was shocked. chagrined, and thoroughly sore when the Presi- dent said that the United States should have the greatest" navy in the world. But concerning the most adequate navy 1t exhibits a wholly agreeable countenance.
 The statement issued by the com. mittee says:
 Nobody except outand-out pacif- ists' has any objection to an adequate navy or even to the most adequate navy whatever that may mean. Ger. tainly the Anti-Preparedness Commit tee has stood consistently for the lat. ter We differ from the President chiefly in our conviction that the navy Is adequate today, and that if it is not the faults are not to be remedied by the nasty appropria. tions of millions of dollars, but rath. CT by a careful preliminary investi- gation of the whole problem of na- tional defense.
 But most adequate navy meaning adequate for defense Is obviously something very different from incomparably the greatest navy in the world and the country w'n feel relieved to know that Mr. W.T. son does not urge that we should en ter Into the wild armament race with England, proposed by the Navy League and teh General Board"
 There are numerous other changes in the edited speeches. but attention was drawn promptly to the modifica- tio nof the greatest navy" statement because that was regarded as one of the most important of the Presidents actual utterances during his entire trip. There was speculation whether the edited copy represents a change of mind" or exhibits the Presidents haoitual regard for elegant diction.
