Germany Must Make Good 10,000,000 Tons in Ships A despatch 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, 41;000. In addition to the foregoing, twen- ty Beitish .vesselstonnage 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. FINALLY DROPPED INTO SEA 85 MILES OFF THE SHORE A despatch from St. John's, Nfld., says The United States navy diri- gible C-5, which escaped from its moorings here on Thursday, dropped into the sea about 85 miles off shore, according to a radio message receiv- ed by the cruiser Chicago from an unidentified B.titish 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 sea, was notified by wireless of its position and started at once to salvage the airship.

CENTENARY OF QUEEN VICTORIA BORN AT KENSINGTON PALACE, LONDON, MAY 24, 1819. Some of the Characteristics Which Made Her One of Britain's Most Successful Monarchs. In celebrating "tire 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 tLe 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 remarkable intellectual gifts, she nevertheless proved one of the most 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 those early days, violent in temper and rough in speech, but discreet and tactful withal, deserves a great deal' of the credit for her first successes. She was very much in love with her young husband, Prince Albert, of Saxe-C,pburg, and insisted again and again that his title of Prince Consort be changed to King Consort, and that, 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 lastto 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 unmaking them." Her Prime Ministers. After Lord Melbourne the Queen had Disraeli and Gladstone in turn as Prime Minister and trttor-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 tweeting." 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 25D Mae X 1%1" egr:IIC7eT Citr -4172F° rrnmerzarserrema 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 at the time of the Trent affair played its part in preventing war with the United States. Inclined perhaps rather toward Presbyterianism than towards the Church of England, of which she was the nominal head, she showed no intolerance toward Catho- lic, Protestant or Jew. She had no 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 ,1ay)- 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 hain't no danger o' yew eatin' it, I reckon. The greater longevity of the typi- cal 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 dommission. R Kir 1 t 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 in Paris wires his paper under date of Wednesday "Those here whose apprehension of grave finan- cial difficulties in- France front, the heavy war burdens had been quieted by as€urance 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 peace Meaty, and by the statement of the new German Finance Minister, Herr Durnburg, just puhli hed in the Kolnische 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, con- sequent upon further issues of 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 public debt will re- quire from the taxpayers of the Em - Aire. There must 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 rttarks," GENERAL STRIKE City Without Bread --A11 Efforts at Settlement Have Failed. A despatch from Winnipeg, Man., says: -Winnipeg is in the throes of a general ,industrial 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. g He wired in reply to the message sent last 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 that it was regrettable that the.metaltrade 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 decided 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 city streets. The question of the city's granting the jitneys permits to op- erate is being considered. 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 Englishman, for the first time visiting Ireland, was out dri Ing one dc.y with Pat, when he remarked to him: "I say, Pat, what a lot of hills you have in Ireland." "Shure we have, sir," said Pat, "We had so much land here in Ireland that we had to put it in heaps." swerermmarmagegiseclis MR, PERRY 5;E E', 15 COMiN4 1 'i0 SPEgyp THE gv�t air�4 • `EE", THA1 YOU TREAT Hem r11CL Y a�11 j)1 "/! � �1 % r i `"---- SA`C• 15 Tee THE.

Mrs. John Reinhardt, Ridgetown, Out.; writes: -"My little girl at the age of a year and half old a had nawful c a cugkt. She would cough until she would fairly choke, and I was afraid it would go to her lungs, I thought I would use Dr, Wood's Norway Pine Syru t, as I knew of quite a few persons who bad used it with good results. I am glad 'I did so, as I only used one Bottle. It is a sure euro for coughs and colds," There is no reason why Dr. Wood' Norway Pine Syrup should not be reco' nized as the very best cough and cold remedy on the market' to -day, combining as it does the lung healing virtues of the Norway pine tree, to which are added wild cherry bark, squills, and other sooth- ing and healing pectoral remedies. It has stood the test for the past' 30 years and is becoming more generally used every year on account of its great merits in curing coughs, colds, bronchitis, croup, whooping cough, asthma, sore throat, and preventing pneumonia and m many cases consumption.

AMERICAN CASUALTIES TOTALLED OVER 286,000 A despatch fram 'Washington says: -Revised figures made •public on Thursday by the War'Department showed that the total cesua:lties of the American Expeditionary Forces during the war was '?80,044. Battle deaths numbered 48,909, and the to- tal of wounded was placed at 237,135, with the explanation that tb,is repre- sented a duplication of about 7,000 by reason of the fact that many men were wounded more than once. AUSTRALIA LED DOMINIONS, PN EXPENDITURE ON W hl't A despatch from London says: - In the House of Commons, replying to Sir J. Norton Griffiths, Col. Am- ery, Under-Secretary for the Colonial Office, stated that approximate war expenditures in the Colonies were: Canada $1,125,000,000 Australia 1,455,000,000 New Zealand 37 7,850,000 South Africa 115,000,000 Newfoundland 10,000,000 His Complaint. He was fond of playing jokes on his wife, and he thought he had found a winner. "My dear;" he said as they sat at supper, "I heard such a sad story to- day about a young girl. They thought she was going blind, and so a surgeon operated on her and found-" "Yes," gasped his wife expectantly. "That she'd got a young man In her eye," finished the husband with a chuckle. For a moment there was silence Then the lady remarked slowly: "Well, it would all depend on what sort of young man it was. Some of them she could have seen through eas- ily enough." Battlefield Mystery. Flowers not known within living memory to the natives of the districts are breaking out on 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 report as the tearing up of the earthiy" heavy shell fire may have created con- ditions for their growth after having long lain dormant.
