TONNAGE TOTALS 3,443,012
Building, Buying and Seizing of Ships Cut Down the Gross
Amount of 9,031,828-.14,000 of Heroic Marine
Service Were Killed; 1,519 Are on the,
Honor List For Bravery.
The twenty-sixth annual report of
the Imperial Merchant Service Guild,
recently issued in Liverpool, shows
that 14,000 officers and men of the
British Mercantile Marine gave up
their lives for their country in the war.
There are' 1,519 names on the honor
list for bravery, coolness and intrepid-
ity in time of danger at sea and on
shore. At the head of the list of
decorated officers in. the Royal Naval
Reserve list stands the name of Lieut.
Harold Anton, D. S. C., who won the
Victoria Cross, and the head of the
long bravery lis: is Captain Frank H.
Claret, commander of the Atlantic
transport liner Miunehaha, whose ship
was Mt by two torpedoes and went
down in less than four minutes in. Sep-
tember, 1917, off the southwest coast
of Pretend. In this disaster fifty-six
of the officers and crew were drowned.
The citation reads: "For extraordin-
ary heroism and presence of mind
when his ship was sunk by the enemy."
Captain Claret saved eleven of his
firemen and sailors who were helpless
in the water by swimming with them
to a life raft. The survivors presented
to him a marble clock as a token of
their appreciation of his gallant con-
duct.
The 1,519 decorations awarded to
the merchant service include 6 Vic-
toria Crosses, 80 Distinguished Ser-
vice Orders, 87 Orders cf the British
Empire; 410 Distinguished Service
Crosses, 18 bass to the D.S.C., 88
awar•ie from the French Government,
153 r e ntiened in dispatches, 270 corn-
mdaied for ;:erviees, and 257 other
do tat;ons
The mercantile marine not only fed
people of the allied nations during the
war, but supplied the armies and the
navies with gum and ammunition. In
addition the big liners like the Olymp-
ic, Baltic, Germania, and Caronia care
ried thousands of tons of oil fuel for
the British Navy.
Thirteen officers of the merchant
service were serving during the war.
in the navy taken from the Royal
Naval Reserve, and there were 78,000
firemen and sailors, 20,000 men in the
Government transports, and 36,000
coastwise sailors and firemen in the
-trawlers which were doing duty as
minesweepers and submarine chasers.
The report states that'the official
figures show that the total British
gross tonnage sunk by the enemy
amounted to 9,031,828, and the gain
in the way of new construction, ton-
nage purchased abroad, and enemy
tonnage captured was $51588,816, leav-
ing the net loss of British tonnage at
3,443,012, which is near:y double tile,
tat loss of the other world tonnage,)
So far on the list of honors, only one
knighthood has been awarde.: to the'
British Mercantile Marine, and the
recipient was Captain Bertram Fox;
Hayes, D.S.O., of the White Star liner
Olympic, who sank two submarines
oil Portsmouth on May 12, 1918, and
carried nearly 300,000 troops across
the Atlantic and to Muros, in the1
Mediterranean without losing a man,
although that line had some marvel-
ously narrow escapes, as the German
submarine commanders were making
special efforts to sink her.

Reports from chairmen of the Pro-
tea War r is allonied by a report eon
mu r c r tc to the Daily Nows b
qe dialed observer who attended th
roc .t great fair at Leipzie, Th
waele fair showed the desire of th
Ceemar nation to work. and recove
itecia. but everywhere one was struck
with the hopeless dependency of Ger-
many on foreign raw materials and an
in eased cost cutput. In fact, with
'German glass. pottery, textile, leather
toy and many other industries closed
down or operati:;g at five per cent. or
tea per cent. of their normal output,
due to the inability to buy raw mater-
ials at the present value of the mark,
the fair gave direct evidence of Ger-
many's very difficult position.
From conversation with the ex-
hibitors the impression was gathered
that nearly all branches of German
industry are on the verge of bank-
ruptcy, due, principally, to the short-
age of coal, and secondly, to the loss
of export trade, which carries with it
inability to purchase the much-needed
foreign raw materials.
To assist in forcing a wedge into
foreign markets German manufactur-
ers have concentrated on new mechan-
ical devices and novelties, which were
much ,in evidence at the fair.
Most of the German representatives
are inclined to the opinion that they
would recover their export trade
through American and neutral buy-
ers. Much as they would prefer to
re-establish their pre-war trading con-
nection with England, they feel that
at present, because of English hostil-
ity towards them, they had better con-
centrate on American and the neutral
nations surrounding Germany. Prices
are approximately from 200 to 800 per
cent. above their pre-war level.
vineial Committees all through the
a I country indicate that the Victory
e�Loan organization is getting warmed
up for the campaign. A notable
of feature is that voluntary effort is
er1 proving available to an extent which
compares favorably with the previous
campaigns. In the Province of Ont.
arid, for instance, it is reported that
already, out of the 62 county chairmen
for last year's campaign, acceptances
for acting in the same capacity this
year have been received from 43 of
them, while others are. not yet heard
from finally, while a few of course find
that special circumstances this year
do not leave them as free to act as
they were in previous campaigns.
British Columbia reports that volun-
tary workers are available in large
numbers, -while the 'Campaign in that
province hie a strong military flavor,
with. Brig. -Gen. Odium as vice-chair-
man for the province and Brig. -Gen.
Clark, chairman for the pity of Vic-
toria and the island district. It is
reported that there is a growing ap-
preciation throughout the country of
the necessity for making the loan an
abundant success in order that there
may be no setback to the prosperity
of the country.
Peace Treaty Awaiting
The King's Proclamation
A despatch from,. London says:—
Great Britain's ratification of the
Peace Treaty, the Foreign Office says,
awaits only the King's proclamation.
All the Dominions have ratified the
treaty, the Australian House on Sep-
tember 19 and the Senate.
German Goods Coming
Slowly Into Britain
A despatch from Leith, Scotland,
says:—The steamship Weimar arrived
here from Hamburg with only 150 tons
of German goods, which rather dis-
countenances the fears of British
manufacturers of the Germans dump-
ing their products on the United ICing-
dom. The ship's officers aver that
Germany is extremely short of raw
materials.
Canada ..Steamships Line
to Enlarge Its Service
A despatch from London says: --
Col. Grant Morden states that the
Canada Steamships Line intends to
greatly enlarge its ocean service. Be-
side the direct French service already
operating, similar services will be in-
stalled in Holland and Belgium within
a few weeks. •that doesn't :seem to be recuperating,
BELGIAN INDUSTRY
RAPIDLY REVIVING
Country Bids Fair to be the
First in Europe to Recover
From War's Ravages.
Belgium, the first country overrun
by the Germans, bids fair to be the
first to rehabilitate herself. Her basic

"The two causes which delayed th
complete restoration of this industry
viz., insufficiency of transport an
diminution of the productive oapacit

yearly. This assures to Belgium
yearly income of more than 200,000,

toward the rehabilitation- of the ex-
change. .

be necessary for complete -repair, al-

were fifty-two blast furnaces in Bel-
gium, producing 2,300,000 tons of pig.
iron, twenty-three of these were to-
tally destroyed and ten were seriously
damaged. Repairs are, of course, very
difficult. Nine furnaces are'how work-
ing.
"Agriculture never suffered during.
the war, except in the war zone. The
yield of this year's crop evill,�ie almost
equal to that of normal pre-war years.
Lands lying in the war zone and de-
vastated by shell fire will be taken
by the Government, which will take
over the farms, work them, and finally
turn them back to their original own-
ers in good condition.
"Many of the railways, when the
Germans were'forced to retreat, were
destroyed, but rapid progress has been
made in restoring the roads to work-
ing condition. Germany has replaced,
to a great extent, the rolling stock
which she had taken away, and prac-
tically all the stationary equipment
has been so far restored as to provide
slow transportation of freight, about
as in normal times. On the main lines
passenger traffic is already quite as
intensive and as rapid as before the
war."

CANADA'S NET DEBT
NOW $1,750,000;000
Country's Financial Situation
Shown .in Monthly
Balance Sheet.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—A
disappointing situation an regard to
the Dominion finances is reyealed in
• the monthly balance sheet of the Fin-
ance Department. 'During last month
the net debt of the Dominion increased
by nearly sixty-five million dollars, as
compared with an increase of a little
under twenty-eight millions for the
month off September lest year. •The
new debt now stands at $1,750,000,000.
Before the war the net debt was
$336,000,000.
Last month's increase in the net
debt was chiefly due to war expendi-
, turd arising 'out of the war. Ex-
. penditure under the heading of "War,"
• in fact, was about twenty-three mil-
lion dollars higher than in September
of last year. The figures are: War
expenditure, September, 1918, $39,484,-
000; war expenditure, 'September,
i 1919, $62,253,000. Part of this, how-
, ever, is expenditure incurred in previ-
i ons months. The figure is the total
I of payments for the month which pas-
sed through the boobs of the Finance
Department. War expenditure for the
six months ending September 30 com-
pares as follows: 1919, $183,740,000;
1918, $103,064,000..

I,
.Hlc Job.
A politician, who is a great walker,
was out e:ijoying his favorite recrea-
tion. After going a few miles he sat
down .
"Wantto a
restlift, mister?" asked a good-
natured farmer driving that way.
"Thank you," responded the politi-
cian. "I will avail myself of your of-
fer,"
The two rode on in silence for a
while. Presently the' farmer asked:
"Professional man?"
"Yes," answered the politician, who
was thinking of a bill he had pending
before the House. After another long
Aliso the farmer observed:
"You ain't a lawyer, or you'd be
talkin'; you ain't a doctor, 'cause you
ain't got a bag, and you ain't a preach-
er, from the looks of you. What is
your profession?"
"I ant a politician," was the reply.
The farmer gave a snort of disgust.
"Politics ain't no profession; 1"olitics
Is a business," said he,
Good Roads the Concerti of All.
Road improvement is fundamentally
an economic problem and affects
either directly or indirectly our en-
tire citizenship, reg•ndless of whether
its members live in the country, the
town or the crowded city; regardless
of whether they drive a pleasure car,
a lumber wagon, or walk the streets
of the tenement dietriet, The great-
est direct benefits will come to the
users of the road; but In each in.
stance there are indirect benefits
reaching a greater numbed of people,
and hence of greater importance final-
ly
nally than the direct benefits.
The Value of the Bee's Sting.
Mr. W. T, Raid, the late president
of the British Bee -Keeping Associa-
tion, presiding at a lecture in connec-
tion with the scientific exhibiton in
London, said he had receni:ly made a
discovery about the sting of the bee
which was very useful as a cure -for
certain forms of rheumatism. He
found that the poison of the bee was
an almost infallible test as to whether
a person was likely to succumb under
an aumsthetio. If. a person suffered
from a certain form of nervous weak-
ness a bee sting on the hand would
cause a large swelling and affect We
glands of the body. That person
should not be operated upon.

willing to work.
"I will give you a meal," said the
farmer, "11'you will round up those
sheep on the common there and drive
them into the fold."
In three hours time the sailor came
back looking hot, but happy.
Glancing over the gate in the field,
the farmer saw the sheep safely in the
fold. "There's a hare sitting up
among 'em," he exclaimed.
"Do you mean that little fellow
there?" asked the sailor. "Why, that's
the little beggar who gave me all the
trouble. I thought it was a lamb." .
