March 19th
As you will see I am in London, I
arrived last night at 10.30 p,m. and it
is now 7.30 a.m. so I have not had
much time to see London, as it was all
in darkness last night. I did not know
I could come until it was too late to be
able to do or see anything. We heard
yesterday for certain that we would
leave for France either the last of this
week or the beginning of next, I think
though it will be one week from Tues-
day. I aro not.going to write a letter
this morning but am occupying my
time while my partner is
dressing, .I elept in a bed last night,
the first since I left Winnipeg. Had a
bath which certainly has improved
my feeling. I stay just today in Lon-
don, but I expect.I will hays to come
back again as I have several things to
buy before leaving for France, I have
got to out-flt myself completely :~gain,
besides paying for example $28 for one
pair of boots, $80 for field -glass, etc„
so it coats to be an officer, I will close
now as•I wish to go to West Minster
Abbey, so will write. my impressions
of London at my leisure. I do not ex-
pect to do. anything except get our

as that is done' by the men I may have
some time to myself. If so I am going
to see some historical scenes. Tenny-

• Zinc in "War Time.
Zinc is so essential in war time
that it has risen enormously in price
in the past year. Costing originally
only two-fifths as much as copper, it
now costs decidedly more than cop=
per, in spite of the fact that copper
itself has sharply increased in value.
Zinc is a constituent of cartridge
brass and shell -fuses, and is used
also.- as a covering for ,fro. ,barbed-
wire fencing. In 1913 the United
States, Germany, and Belgium were
the leading producers of zinc.
Of the three, only .the... United
States smelted domestic ores. Bel-
gium and Germany relied mainly on
zinc doncentrates that they imported
from the Broken Hill mines in New
South Wales, where, for one reason
and another, it does not pay to do the
smelting. France, 'Spain,- dud Great
Britain also produce substantial
quantities, but not enough .to supply
their own needs. Austria and Ger-..
many have considerable deposits c'f
ore in Silesia, Ilungary, Carinthia,:
and the Tyrol. .:A3 the. zinc-smel(irig
furnaces of Great Britain are not Svt?ll -
adapted, for dealiifg••with'the Broken .
Hill concentrates -it buys'#he;.bulk of
its supplies from the United States.

recently went home on five days'

very active in London, he slipped
into mufti and promenaded the

planted himself under the nose of
every sergeant who v. as wearing the

The, next morning he was deter-
, mined to be told that his "King and

Getting desperate (says the Motor

Driven to desperation, ` 'he walked

TO win the war with the decisiveness which will ensure lasting peace, the Empire
will require to put forth its full collective power in men and in money. From
this viewpoint it is our true policy to augment our financial strength by multiplying our
productive exertions and by exercising rigid economy, which reduces to the minimum
all expenditures upon luxuries and non -essentials. Only in this way shall we be able
to make good the loss caused by the withdrawal of so many of our workers from indus-
trial activities, repair the wastage of the war, and find the funds for its continuance. It
cannot be too frequently or too earnestly impressed upon our people that the heaviest
burdens of the conflict still lie before us, and that industry and thrift are, for those
who remain at home, supreme patriotic duties upon whose faithful fulfilment
our success, and consequently our national safety, may ultimately depend."—
