This is an achievement unprecedent- ed in the shipbuilding ddustry of nations, whether in war or in peace. A Listowel girl wants to be en- gaged in shipbuilding work, and offers to recruit a company of other girls for this work.

PROVIDING THE SHIPS. Than the building of the wonder ship Tuckahce in twenty-seven days the United States could not well have 'given a better answer to the challenge of the piratical Huns. One ship will npt win the war any more than one swallow makes a summer, but the feat above mentioned should be a ready reply to those who hap- pen to entertain any doubt as to whether the submarine ever can be satisfactorily dealt with. "This standardized shipbuilding is the greatest thing in the world," declares 'the superintendent of an Atlantic yard who had learned his business on the banks of the Clyde, in Scotland. "We bring the parts from a thousand miles inland. The ships are actually being built in the riddle of the United [States We only put them together here. If we could get the materials forward I honestly believe that we could bdild a ship every two weeks. Standard- ization is an eye-opener even to a man like myself wiho has spent his wihole life in the business. Every- thing fits like a glove. By the old used to make a calulation every once in a Nothing like that ever now." i We are further told that 257,444 men are now enrolled in the ship- building army of 'the United States The production of Allied tonnage now exceeds the losses inflicted by the submarines. It is evident tha! enough boats will soon be available to transport to Europe all the men and munitions that our neighbor can supply.

In previous raids of a similar nature one or more Canadian nurses lost their lives. There is something poignantly shockihg about the news of the killing of a woman on the field of battle. A woman sym- bolizes the motherhood of the race. About her centre the cares, the hopes, the solicitudes of men. When a wo- man falls on the battlefield it is as if the hand of man has been raised against all that he reveres, and pro- tects and cherishes in his inmost heart. Death upon the battlefield has come to a Canadian nurse, one among the first to volunteer, She was moved to this service not by hope of improving her professional pros- pects, net by desire for change, not by promptings of adventure; but sole- ly by the deep instincts of woman- hood that glow deep down in the heart of every true woman----that passion. to alleviate suffering and soften pain that makes the weakest woman as Strong a8 the strongest| me man, That spirit of devotion this Can- adian nurse carried to France. With other women as brave as herself she plunged amid the inferno of the strug- gle on the western front to minister to the men who had been wounded by shrapnel, by bullet or by bayonet thrust, That was the work she had gone to France to do. She did it calm- ly, efficiently and with womanly pity, in the very thick of the fighting. She died that others might live, This Canadian nurse was a type of our Canadian womanhood at its best ~the womanhood that is standing side by side with our manhood in the fearful test of nerves and strength and courage. In paying a tribute to 'this nurse we are paying a tribute to the Canadian woman as she stands revealed in the erisis that is trying the soul of the nation. They will exact a vengeance swift and sure.

OVER STRENGTH. French-Canadians Make Splendid Response to Call. Montreal, June 1.--The manner in which French-Canadians are coming forward, in response to the regis- trar's notices under the Military Ser- vice Act, was shown when, for the first time, the Second Depot Battal- fon in this city was reported as over strength. The authorized strength of this battalion is 2,138 men, while its actual strength to-day is given as 2,170. A total of 392 new men was shown for the day. SMAL LPOX BPIDE MIC. Cases Reported to London, Ont, Authorities, London, Ont,, June 1 The ele venth case of smallpox to be discover- ed in the city in a short time was re- ported yesterday when one of the male teachers at the London Colle- glate Institute was placed under quarantine. Dr. Hill, medical officer of health, has issued an order that no. pupil'who has not been vaceinated within the last seven years will be al- lowed to attend school. The other ten cases all occurred in a loeal fac- tory. Eleven Unexpected Dividend, Montreal, June 1.--The directors of the Canadian Car and Foundry Company, Limited, rather unexpect- edly announced that a dividend of g& per cent. had been declared on account of arrears on the preferred stock. The dividend will be paid July 15th to shareholders of rocord of June 16th, where it will be registered free MUST REPORT PROMPTLY THOUSANDS OF YOUTHS HAVE REGISTERED FOR SERVICE Saturday Brought a Flood of Regis- tered Letters to the Office of Major H.

P. Cooke; at the City Hall, has received thousands of registration re- ports from boys of nineteen in the district, and a final flood of letters burst in upon the offices on Saturday which was the last day for reporting. A great many bf the boys seem still to misunderstand the order-in-council of May 4th calling upon them to re- port. All that has to be done is to state the name in full, the date of birth, place of residence and the us- ual post office address of the person reporting. The letter containing these statements must be taken to the post office or sub-postoffice, of charge. iA receipt will be given. at the time of registration which should be kept until the sender receives an- other receipt of registration from the office of the deputy registrar which will guard the holder until called up- on to report for service after the 1st of July. Anyone apparently is unable' to produce evidence otherwise after 1st of June will be liable to immediate military service or a penalty not exceeding $50. were distri- in Class 1 who documentary Minister "Declined Salary Increase; Windsor, May 21.--The members of Central Methodist church, at a meeting held last night agreed unanimously to grant a $200 salary increase to 'the pastor, Rev.

More Fish Waters. Ottawa, June 1.---Reports received by the Canada Food Board regarding fish sales in all parts of Canada show inereases in the amount of fish which is being used as a substitute for meat, and other foods needed overseas, In one Ontario city the sales from Jan- uary to April inclusive exceeded the sales for the corresponding period last year by 67,000 pounds, an in- erense of more than 75 per cent, Re- norts from othef places show large creases, kn 4 WA i mmr, * Rippling Rhymes cars, and small b things important in trade; will recall the nol were in demand. or would he run jaws we'd work Would Willard get the dinge's goat? theme of long ago.
