They have done some of the finest
classes Of work in the country. Look
at the Hall Of Records building in
New York. the Surety building and I
could name dozens of moro buildings.
besides the nice mausoleums and
monuments. and look at the men it
took to do all the work and think
what ii meant to the city, to have the
business running the year around.
Will it ever come back again? Time
will tell. What is the outlook in the
future of the granite industry of
Maine? Suppose the different plants
where they used to do business would
all start up on a large job at each
place, I wonder where the skilled
Workmen would come from? Surely
not from Maine. They are not MAX

NO DANGER OF
GERMAN ARMY

London, Sept. 27-(By The Associ-
ated Press)-According to latest re-
ports received by British authorita-
tive quarters the inter allied control
commission in Germany expresses it
self as perfectly satisfied with the
progress of the surrender and de-
struction of German ornaments.
A statement was made in official
quarters here today that there is
not the slightest apprehension of the
possibility of Germany being able to
organize and equip an army Of such
size as to constitute any danger to
the allies"
There are, of course. plenty of
men, the statement says, but they
are lacking in all necessary arma-
