Later the call was for munitions; and Canada's record in supplying thein will stand to the credit of this country's fivaneialstrength and resourcefulness for many years to come. , Today this cry is for ships. "Ships, ships, and still more sbips are the present grea, need," declared Mr. Lloyd George th' other day. Canada's response; We feel= sure, will be worthy of her past record.
