triotic love feast OF the grim fighters
of former century.
In q communication sent to Robert \.

y agree with our Commander-in-
chlcf Gen. Harrison. in his letter to
Gen. Hooper % Selma. Ala. that there
is no good reason why the reunion

What ARMY Order
MEANS GARDINER
SHOE: WORKERS

When the news came that the r. p.
Hazard Co. of this city had received
an order for 100000 pairs of army
shoes, those who are employed at the
shoe factory knew that steady work
had thus been ensured them for some
time to come. Since receiving the
above order the r. +. Hazard Com
pany has been awarded two other
contracts, one of 100000 pairs and the
other of $4,000 pairs. making a grand
total of 45S,00O pairs of shoes, which
together with the regular work insures
the run to continue until the first of
1918.
The shoes made at the Hazard plant
are now in service. This factory was
the first in the country to make a ship
ment of the regular field shoe to the
government and they are now being
worn by the members of the Bangor
Machine Gun Co.
At this factory are Is government in
spectors. who keep a watchful eye on
all shoes during the process of manu-
facture and when the shoes are finish
Cd they are shipped direct to the points
where they are needed. This is dis
tinct advance over the old method I'M
der which all the shoes were shipped
to the Quartermaster's department in
Boston, the cases opened the shoes ex-
amined, then repacked and shipped
away.
The securing of these orders is A
distinct boon to the shoe workers in
asmuch as they came at dull time
as the heavy buying of dealers when
the rise in prices began. has overstock-
ca them and made the regular business
at the factory rather quiet. 1t is true
that certain operators in the making
of shoes have lost their regular en-
ployment, notably the treers. All such
men have a chance to continue at the
factory, working in other branches if
they so desire. Many have taken adj
vantage Of this opportunity. though
some prefer to work at their regular
work in other places
Mr.. Hazard stated to the reporter
on Tuesday that the concern had re-
Gently opened their 32nd store in New
York City and on last Saturday, the
opening day, sold 1000 pairs of shoes.
II was necessary to close the store for
a portion Of the day on account of the
immense throng Of buyers.

CRAVE SITUATION
Finnish Government Re-
fuses Big Loan
Eventual Anarchy Possibility Since
Finland I. Without Material Force
to Compel Obedience - Her Laws

Helsingfors. July 17.-The proposed
pronulgation whereby Finland seeks
to wrest from Russia complete indie
pendence has caused extreme tension
ana nervousness. The situation is COM
pl:cated by the governments complete
refusal to grant . full $50 900. 900 mark
loan to Russia and by a threat OF
general strike if the Diet pos, pones
the passage Of the new communal bill
abolishing property qualifications.
Governor general Stakovitch outlin-
ed to The Associated Press Russia
standpoint The seriousness Of the sit
uation today" he aid, arises from the
fact that a majority of the Senate In
the Diet abandoned legality and the
principle of mutually and insists on
regulating its own inter-relations by
the will of Finland alone.
Thar is not all The new independ-
ence bill also is fat violation Of Fin
lands own continental laws. The lat
ter requires a five sixth ma joritS in the
Diet for an amendment Of the c6nsti-
tuition BY quick procedure. There Is
no prospect Of a FIVE sixth majority on
! third reading. The Socialist hackers OF
the bill must therefore declare il, not
an amendment to the constitution, but
only an ordinary law, or to gain the
required majority must make a COM
promise with the opposition which
stands in agreement with Russia"
Asked what would be Russia's atti-
tuda in the event the measure became
a law. NJ Stakovitch answered: n.
THE provisional government prob
ably will issue declaration Of pro-
test to tho allies"
Ever il the bill is forced through
and the Diet legislates under it. oppo-
sitior and refusal to obey the laws is
expected on the part Of those whose
property interests are affected Event
| ual anarchy is a possibility since Fin
