Machinists Reported to Have Re- ceived Wages From June 16 According to rumors that are afloat, vouched for by local persons instru- mental in bringing them to this city, secret service agents reported here for investigation of working = conditions at the New Britain Machine company, relative to operating oversight hours a day, ordered the company to pay to the men the required fime’and a hall covering a period since June 5 up to last Saturday. It is a generally known fact that all employes of the government are gov- erned by the eight hour law, and when it became known that the local com- pany had received orders for govern- ment work, local persons who are closely following all moves of the manufacturers, believed that the law was being violated by ten hours work without the lotted overtime wages being forthcoming. Hence, a tele- gram to Washington, D. ., where the facts were bared, and the agents were here in a few days after its re- ception. The four agents, it is said, secured employment at the Machine company where they acquainted them- selves with conditions before any for- mal complaint was made to headquar- ters. Tt is also reported that steps are be- ing taken to put an end to practice for several years, but much more in evidence since the strike troubles of two years a0, whereby an employe who brings down the wrath of the company offi- cials is barred from working in any other local shop. One of the leading union men of this city says he is in a position to furnish positive informa- tion to the government should action be commenced, he having been a vic- tim of the malicious rule of the man- ufacturers, following his joining with the str in the labor troubles. He has succeeded in securing a position, and is working every day despite what he claims was a recent effort made to have his employer discharge him. i PERSONALS Mrs. H. very J T.

York, July 3.— Velma the young suffrage worker last Tuesday from Washington Place, with her cousin, was found yes- She had last Tues- New Pomeroy, who disappeared her home at where she resided Miss Helen Russell, terday in Philadelphi gone directly to that city day night, had adopted the name Ruth Standish and had obtained a position in a big business restablish- ment. Former Supreme Court Justice C. P. Pomeroy of Kalispell, Mont., the girl's father, was with her last eve- ning at the Hotel Adelphia, in Chest- nut street, Philadelphia. So was Miss Russell. They said they would re- turn to New York and Judge Pom- eroy shortly would take Miss Velma back to their home. Nervous breakdown, which brought about an attack of despondency and a desire for a complete change of scene, caused the girl to go away, it was said. She was haggard and worn. The Schindler Detective Agency of this city traced the girl to a boarding house at 3033 North Fifth street. Miss Pomeroy, reading in newspapers that her presence in' Philadelphia was known, went to the Young Wom- en's Christian Association in Arch street.. There the Schindler oper- atives found her. e 25 Buy an Indiana truck.—advt. CRISIS IN SPAIN GROWS ALARMING Gensor's Strictness Arouses Sus- picion of Paris Editors July 3.—The situation Spain appears to be growing worse. The gravity of the crisis is con- firmed amply by such news as reaches Paris. The Madrid correspondent of the Petit Parisien, telegraphing Sun- day, ys that the suspension of con- stitutional guarantees by the gov- ernment has not removed the unrest in Spain, The fact that the heavily censored Spanish press publishes nothing concerning the internal situa- tion seems to indicate that conditions are far from normal, Great importance is attached in political circles to two facts: First, that the King and queen cancelled an engagement to attend'a polo game; second, that a special cabinet meeting was held, at the conclusion of which Premier Dato went to the palace and had a long conference with the king. These circumstance have given rise to all sorts of comment, many persons seeing in them proof that the govern- ment had received serious news, but nothing so far has confirmed this view. E. Oristo Salmeron Garcia, dent of the short lived . Spanish re- public, Who has just arrived from Spain, also takes a serious view of the situation there. In a statement pub- lished in the Petit Parisien he says he is convinced Spain is on the verge of impartant events. Causes of Disaffection. There are three causes of discon- tent—the dissatisfaction of the army, the dissatisfaction of the democratic parties and the unrest of the masses, brought about by the increased cost of living. Senor Salmeron says that if these three causes, of different origin, sheuld produce effects at the same time events whi would surprise the world would be likely to occur. The army officers, although they have ob- tained partial satisfaction, do mot trust the promises of the govern- ment ,and so long as their profes- sional interests are safeguarded their co-operation with the parties of the Extreme Left appears possible. The grievance of the democratic parties is the attitude of the government toward Germany. As for the masses, the laboring people are in such a state of effervescence that a general strike is imminent, and while work- ing for purely economic ends, the labor leaders would have no objection to exploitation by the demacratic parties of a political movement for their own purposes. The democratic bloc, which comprises the socialists, republicans and reformists, according- ly is watching developments of all elements of the crisis which are mani- festing themselves throughout the country, being in readiness to strengthen any movements which might help it toward the object in view. Another grave factor in the situa- tion is the split in the Liberal party, which is now an accomplished fact. Marquis Prieto, who lately relin- quished the premiership, and his pa tisans have seceded from the Roman- ones section of the party, In view of the close relations, geo- graphical, political and commercial, between the two countries, events in Spain are being followed with closest interest in France by both the public and the government. KERENSKY AT HEAD OF RUSSIAN ATTACK presi- Minister of War in Person Leads Troops in Offensive Against Foo in Galicia. Petrograd, July 3.—The brilliant Russian advance, the news of which has sent a wave of rejoicing through the entire country, was led by War Minister Kerensky in person, For four ds the war minister had been continuously at the front, spending every effort to urge the troops to advance. He finally rode to the fromt Jine trenches and, placing himself at' the head of the troops, gave the order to advance. The spectacle of the pepular war minister on the firing line accom- plished what oratory had failed to do, and the Russian line swept for ward into the German trenches. The commander of the armies on the western front has issued an or- der of the day reading: “Our army on the southwestern front has vanquished the enemy and broken his lines. A decisive battle has begun on which depends the fate of the liberty of the Russian people. Our brothers on the southwestern front are advancing victoriously. They expect assistance from us. We shall not be traitors, the enemy shall hear the.thunder of our guns.” NAME CAMP FOR DEAD OFFICER Chattanooga, July 3.—In honor of TLieut, Warden McLean, who was killed by being thrown from his horse last week, the training camp at Fort Ogelthorpe was named today by Col.

T0 INSURE | I7S OWN SOLDIERS Insurance Men, by Large Major- ity, Endorse Project ‘Washington. D. July 3.—Issu- ance by the government itself of the insurance that is to be given to every man in the country’s forces was approved late yesterday by more than a hundred prominent insurance com- pany officials in conference at the treasury department. Legislation to carry such a scheme into effect will be asked of congress at this session by the administration. Creation of a bureau of service in- surance, or extension of the present war risk bureau to undertake the wor probably will be proposed. The details will be worked out by a committee of insurance men, co- operating with Willlam G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, and officials of the war, navy and commerce de- partments, and of the Council of National Defense. The insurance officlals, who came to the treasury at Mr. McAdoo's invita- tion, voted 103 to 4, in favor of hav- ing the government act as its own insurance company. They told the secretary that they have to charge heavy rates for war insurance and that they are not eager to handle this business as they have no precedent figures upon which to compute risk Many of the companies represent- ed offered the use of their machinery for handling the government's insur- ance business and the services of their experts in the guldance of govern- mental activities. Most of them suggested that the government should guarantee a llmited indemnity and permit individuals in the service to carry further insurance in private companies without limitations. It is probable that the bill provid- ing for establishment of federal in- surance will ask for a system com- parable to the present workmen's compensation law. It was pointed out by Captain 8. H. Wolfe, repre- senting the navy at the conference, that the government's industrial compensation system could be broad- ened easily to apply to war service. The scheme recently advanced by Mr. Sweet, assistant secretary of the commerce department, was discussed. Under this scheme, which is heing considered by the Council of National Defense, the government would as- sume a death liability of $4,000 and also provide compensation for juries. Insurance men pointed out that es- tablishment of maximum benefits would be fraught with many compli- (0% cations and asserted that the number | and age of beneficiaries should be an important factor. Only one com- pany gave the secretary offer privately to handle the insur- ance for the government. It stipu- lated a rate of $38 per $1,000.

Shooting Startles Spectators. Private Julius Lorynec is under arrest and confined to the guard house on charges arising out of the promiscuous shooting of a rifle in Central Park at 6 o'clock last night. Pedestrians were suddenly startled at that hour by the loud report of a high powered rifle, followed by sev- eral other shots. It is alleged that Private Lorynec, stationed in Central Park, was showing a new recruit how a ritfle works and was shooting the weapon over the top of B. C. Porter Sons’ store. Sergeant Veley placed Private l.orynec under arrest. When it is considered that the .30 calibre bullets used in the Springtield rifles will kill at t':ree miles, something of the danger .f wanton shooting can be understood. Quite a large crowd of citizens gathered on Main street at o’clock last night to witness the * treat” exercises in connection with the lowering of the colors. Several squads of soldiers, three squads with rifles, were lined up by Sergeant Kei- in front of the Soldiers’ and Sail- s’ Monument and then, in charge of Second Lieutenant Robert V. K. Har- ris, stood at salute as the colors were lowered by Sergeant Wilbert Vele, During this exercise Bugler Gregory played ‘“to the colors.” Orders were issued at the armory today for all National Guard men to take their private belongings cut of their lockers, as these lockers are to be turned over to the Home Guard companies for their use. Just when Company E is to be ordered out of the city and into camp is not known, but it is not expected that such or- ders will be received for a week or more. Regular Army Enlistiments.

London, June 25.—There has never been a time when women were more willing to accept standard dress or uniform than they are at present. That is the most marked effect of the war upon women's dress. All uniforms- have acquired dignity in women's eyes. The housemaid does not object to the cap and apron badge of servitude, the worker in the bank do; an overall <heerfully, women in various organizations wear their khaki,the Red Cross and volun- teer aid workers are proud of their uniforms. An expert cussing these changes, “There always will who want fripperies, the women who try to insist upon something quite different from the style of the mo- ment but nowadays their number is greatly diminished. The uniform idea has arrived. It may mean the total extinction of dressmaking as a cre- ative art, but there will be develop~ ments on other lines. “There has never heen a great war which has not influenced fashion in a picturesque or even gruesome fashion, and this world war has done its share. We had a fashion adapted as a compliment to each ally, the Russian caps and tunics, the Bersag- lieri hats of the Italian soldiers, and the Serbian colors. Scotch plaids have given the Parlsiennes great jov. “Khaki shades are iIn vogue for spring and summer costumes and the blue-gray, with touches of crimson, of the French uniforms is seen here and there.” French designer, dis- sa be DROWNED OFF STRATFORD.

Tokio, June 21.—"The Anglo-Jap- anese alliance is the will of Heaven as well as the work of man,” was the epigrammatic phrase in a message which Premier Count Terauchi re- | centiy issued on the subject of,the re-" lations hetween Japan and Great Britain. With tono, Japan's Foreign Minister, and others, Count munication to “The New East,” a monthly: review published by British residents at Tokio. The official Japanese contributors emphasize their desire to make the . Anglo-Japancse alliance a permanent agreement. Count Terauchi said that the alliance was the neutral outcome of the sincere desire of the high con- tracting parties to guarantee per- manently the peace of the East. “Its indisputable benefits in the past are already clear,” he wrote. And he added: “It is destined to play even a greater part in the future. The in- terests of Great Britain and Japan have ncver conflicted and never will conflict.” Viscount aspe “We Motono revealed several must admit,” hq said, “that had it not been for our British al- liance we should have encountered the greatest difficulties in the prosecu- « tion of our war with Russia. During that war Great Britain did us ines- timable services, still little known to the general public. Great Britain probably would mot have been able to make the agreement she signed with Russia had it not been for her Japanese alliance. I cannot say whether the authors of the Anglo- Japanese alliance had in mind the possibility of a general conflagration Detween the great European power when they signed the treaty. But the fact remains that at the present moment the alllance is playing a most important part in the great war. The Minister was firm in the opin- jon that the alliance would last long after the w From Japan's point of view the maintenance of the bal- ance of power in the Far East was ahsolutely necessary. and Great Britain, he wrote, im- mense common interests in Asia that must be protected. Whatever con- tingencies the future might have in store, the close unity of Japan and Gr Britain W in the minister's opinion, an indispensable condition for the maintenance of order ad peace in the Far Bast; as much as for the effective Dl'otr(‘tion of Ja- pan’s rights and interests. cluded: As long as Japan and Great Brit- ain are united by a true and loyal alliance we need have no fears for the future.” Ry B i Viscount Ichiro Mo- .
