FINALLY DROPPED INTO SEA
85 MILES OPP THE SHORE
A despateh from St. John's, Nfld.,
:says: -The United States navy dial-
gibie C-5, 'which escaped from its
moorings here on Thursday, dropped
into the sea about 85 miles -off ,hone,
according- to a radio message receiv.
ed by the cruiser Chicago from an
unidentified Bn'tish steamship. The
steamship said it was standing by the
dirigible. The destroyer Edwards,
which went out in pursuit of the
Blimp after it was blown to retia, was
notified by wireless of its position
and started at once to salvage the
airship.

tions to the northward..
AMERPCAN CASUALTIES
• TOTALLED OVER 286,000
A despatch from Washington:
says: -Revised figures made public
ar, Thursday: by the War Department
showed that the total casualties of
the American Expeditionary Forces
during the war was 286,044, Battle
deaths numbered 48,909, and the to-
tal of wounded was placed at 237,135,
with the explanation that this repre-
sented a duplication of about 7,000
by reason of the fact that many men
were wounded more than once.
Germany Must Make Good
10,000,000 Tons in Ships
A despateh from London says: -
The Ministry of Shipping announces
the number and tonnage of allied
merchantmen lost through enemy ac-
tion, as follows:
Britain, 2.197; tonnage, 7.638,000.
France, 238; tonnage, 697,000.
Italy, 230; tonnage, 742,000.
Japan, 29; tonnage, 120,000.
United States, 80; tonnage, 341,-
000,
In addition to the foregoing, twen-
ty British vessels, tonnage 95,000,
were lost on Admiralty service.
One of the provisions of the Peace
Treaty calls for a "ton for ton" re-
placement of Entente merchantmen
sunk by submarines. This means,
that Germany. will have to supply the
allies with 9,538,000 tons.

Battlefield Mystery.
,Flowers not known within living
-Memory to the natives of the districts
are breaking ,out ren the sacred sur-
face and in the 'shell holes and dug-
outs, of the battlefields of France. It
is believed that the strange flowers
have sprung from seeds buried In the
depths of the ,earth for 'decades. A
leading London botanist says it is
known that seeds have been buried
for upwards of 60 years without losing
their power of germination, and he
thinks it is quite •possible that strange
plants are now flowering as reported,
as ` the tearing up of the earth ..by
heavy shell fire may have created con-
ditions for their growth after having
longlain dormant.

SOME SHARP -SHOOTING REQUIRED.
Is there any way to stop this flight? How many communities are making, an effort to check this stampede
of money THAT FLIES OUT of their home town. What is OUR community doing? What would all this money
mean to YOU aa, ME, if it were spent with our own business men? The picture is no DREAM OF FANCY. The
artist has simply brought HOME to us the hard facts. Let us face them as they are, The group of meal with
rifles provides the right ACTIION for US. Let us organize to stop this flight. Let each one of us REMEMBER;
That HOME values increase in proportion as we spend our money at HOME. That HOME values disappear
with every dollar sent away.
9
CENTENARY OF
QUEEN VICTORIA
R
BORN AT KENSINGTON PALACE,
• LONDON, MAY 24, 1819.
Some of the Characteristics Which
Made Her One of Britain's Most
Successful Monarchs.
In. celebrating "the Queen's Birth-
day" on Saturday, "the 24th of May,"
Canadians will also be celebrating the
centenary 'of the birth of the late
Queen Victoria.
Born on the 24th of May, 1819 ---in
England instead of Germany -be-
cause her parents purposely returned
from their German sojourn in time to
make her a native of the country
which they foresaw she might one day.
play a leading part in, she lost her
father, the Duke of Kent, before she
was a year old, and was thenceforth
under the care of ,her careful German
mother, and her shrewd uncle, Prince
Leopold, who, •-even after becoming
King of the Belgians, continued to
write her helpful letters, the answers
to which are not•the least interest-
ing part of her voluminous published
correspondence.
A Queen at Eighteen.
Her mother and the eccentric old
monarch, William' IV., quareled con-
tinually, but the old man seems rather
to have liked his youthful heiress ap-
parent. At his `'death, only .a short
time after she had attained her ma-
jority, .the 18 -year-old girl became
queen of the 'mightiest nation on the
globe. The student of her life is
struck by the quiet composure with
which the child shouldered the bur-
den, but he is more impressed still., as
he reads on, by the tact and wisdom
with which she carried it, from start
to finish. ' Endowed with no apparent-
ly remarI.able intellectual gifts, she
I nevertheless proved one of the most
i successful monarchs of history. Her
record shows pretty conclusively that
qualities of heart are as useful in high
places as qualities of head.
Lord Melborne, the Prime Minister
of thost3, early days, violent in temper
and rough in speech, but discreet and i
tactful withal, deserves a great deal
of the credit for her first successes..
•Sho was very much in love with her
young husband, Prince Albert, of
Saxe -Coburg, and insisted again and
again that his title of Prince Consort
be changed to King Consort, and that, 1
as was the case with William and
Mary, he be empowered to rule jointly
with her. Her careful old counsellor
evaded ,the question again and again,
but driven at last to a frank expres-
sion of conviction, he is said to have
burst out: "Does your Majesty real-
ize what you are running the risk of
doing? If you once got the English
people into the way of making kings
you would get, them into the way of
unmak=ng them."
Her Prime Ministers.
After Lord Melbourne the Queen had
Disraeli and Gladstone in turn as
Prune Minister and tutor -colleague, so
to speak. She and Gladstone never
agreed, and it was perhaps partly the
fact ' that he was so rigidly High
Church which set her against. the
Anglican ritualists. She suffered a
great deal in conference with him,
"He talks to me," she complained, "as
if I were a public meeting." Yet she
and Gladstone were responsible for a
great deal of fine and wholesome
activity. Disraeli won her heart ,com-
pletely from the first. The reason
may or may not be contained in.a con-
fidential hint which the Jewish states-
man once dropped to Matthew Arnold:
"Everyone likes flattery, and when it
comes to royalty you should lay it on
with a trowel,"
A contemporary explained her,,
nearly constant popularity, which;
made her useful labors easier, by her
instinctive appreciation of ,the right
thing to do and say when in public.
She was "never flurried by a space in
front of her." Her self-control in dif-
ficult situations was admirable.
In the Crimean War the Queen was
as devoted as any nurse or hospital
worker in the land, Her forbearance 1
at the time of the Trent affair played •
its part in preventing war with the j
United. States. Inclined perhaps
rather toward Presbyterianism than!
towards the Church of England, of i
which she was the nominal head, she l
showed no intolerance toward Catho-
lic, Protestant or Jew. She had uo
great interest in sects, but a deeply
'
religious nature -so deeply religious
that. one matter-of-fact French his-
torian complains a little of her trend
toward mysticism. She swayed her
people because she loved them. "How
kind they are to me!" she was fond
of saying.
A Reason For It.
Motorist (blocked by load of hay!-
I say. there, pull out and let me by.
You seemed in a hurry to let that
other fellow's carriage get past.
Farmer -That's 'cause his horse
wuz eatin' my hay. There hasn't no
danger o' yew eatin' it, I reckon.
The greater longevity of the typi-
eal Briton as compared with almost
any other race is due to the fact that
he loves sports. -Prof. E. H. Starl-
ing
As women make 90 per cent. of the
purchases for the homes, their ac-
tion in this is the most important
single factor in righting our adverse
balance with the United States. "Buy
Canadian goods and products" is the
recommendation of the Canadian
Trade Commission.
ANNUAL INTEREST
23 BILLION MARKS
French Confidence in Enemy's
Ability to Pay Appears
Unfounded.
A despatch from London says: -
The correspondent of the Daily Tele.
graph tin Paris wires his paper under
date of Wednesday: "Those here
whose apprehension of grave finanl
ciai diffieulties in France from the
heavy war burdens had been quieted
by assurance too confidently made in,
some quarters, perhaps, that Germany
might and can pay, have been pain.
fully :awakened to realities by the
financial conditions of the pease
treaty, and by the statement of the
new German Finance M'nister, Herr
Durnburg, just published in the
1 olnisebe Zeitung. „
"The German public debt, accord-.
ing to herr Durnburg, totalled 161,-
000,000,000 marks on January 31,
1918, and had increased to 185,000,-
000.000 marks on April 30 last, eon-
sequent upon further issues oaf Treas-
ury bills in the beginning of the
years, The floating debt and ,issue
of bank notes continues to grow with-
out interruption.
"Herr Durnburg alleges that the
annual burden laid on the shoulders
of German taxpayers from this debt
will amount to 17,500,000,000 marks.
But this does not represent the total
charges that the nubile debt will re-
quire from the taxpayers of the Fan-
like. There most be added interest
on the special debts of the several
Federal states and townships which
needs annually another sum of 6,000,-
000,000 marks to cover it, Therefore,
the grand total that the Empire will
have to pay in interest each year
stands at over 23,000;000,000 marks,"
GENERAL STRIKE
IN WINNIPEG
City Without Bread -All Efforts
at Settlement Have Failed.
A despateh from Winnipeg, Man„
says: -Winnipeg is in the throes of
a general ndustrial upheaval. In
spite of the energetic efforts made by
Premier T. C. Norris and Mayor
Charles F. Gray, in spite of numer-
ous meetings at 'which workers and
employers attempted to come to a
basis of understanding, the threat of
labor has been carried into effect.
As a last resort Ottawa was appealed
to by the Mayor. Senator Robertson,
Minister of Labor, can do nothing.
He -waxed in reply to the message
sentlast night by Mayor Gray stat-
ing that when conciliation and arbi-
tration were declined. "and the work-
ers refused to respect the governing
powers of their organizations," the
Government could do nothing, He
added tbat it was regrettable that
the metal trade employers would not
meet their employes' chosen repre-
sentatives for the purpose of discus-
sion.
Winnipeg is now breadless. Bakers
in most of the bake shops left work
promptly at 11 o'clock a.m. on Thurs.
day. Drivers also quit work.
The Webb pressmen have decide4
to remain at work, and this will
mean that all the local newspapers
will continue publication.
Free automobile rides for pedes•
trians is again the order in the tits
streets. The question of the city's
granting the jitneys permits to op•
erate is being considered.
y
The Reward of Politeness.
They were entertaining the minister
at dinner, and after dessert little
Johnny said:
"Won't you take another piece of
pie?"
The minister laughed. "Well, John-
ny," he said,"since you are so polite
I will have another,"
"Good!" said Johnny. "Now, ma,
remember your promise. You said if
it was necessary to cut into the second
pie I could have another piece!"
A Pat Reply.
An
An Englishman, for the first time
visiting Ireland, was out driving one
day with Pat, when he remarked to
him:
"I say, Pitt, what a lot of hills you
have in Ireland."
- "Shure we have. sir," said Pat, "We
bad so much land here in Ireland that
we had to put it in heaps..'
