"I should have KNOWN better." This is the kind ofoe pinches, and he lays the blame on n busy themselves trying to reform OTHER people. They think things w reform that counts. , MOST peopley ELSE did just a little different. But where the shoe pinches is probably with yourSELF, with MYself, with OURselves. When we get to the point of KNOWING this and acknowledging it, THEN we have made a start. Let's try this line of reasoning in tack- ling our Community problems. Where does the SHOE PINCH? "Am I doing anything that is keeping BACK the growth of my community?" "Am I leaving anything UNDONE to advance the growth?" With THIS spirit we CAN co-operate. Co-operation wins eveiy time.

HUN SHIP LOSSES "5900 O y , A long preliminary trial, conducted TO START s!, FII GH T FROM ENGIN IN it The British Admiralty Cancels "Sop" of Commander Porte From .Newfoundland. A despatch from St. John's, Nfide says: -Announcement by Major Part. ridge, R.A:F., special agent for the British Adiniralty in connection with the proposed trans-Atlantic seaplane flight of Commander John Cyril Porte, that he had been summoned home, was construed by .the British aviators here as an •indication that the Admiralty had cancelled Com- mander Porte's flight and was con- centrating all its efforts on the pro, posed flight of the dirigible R-34, from England. Advices received here indicate that the R-34 will start not later than June 20. It is understood that the big ship will fly first from Eng- land to Labrador, then set'th over Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New England to New York. After stop- ping at New York for inspection the R-34 will proceed to Florida, where atmospheric conditions will permi'i: if. her being moored in the open until the future direction and scope of the cruise has been determined. Major Partridge also was serving as official starter here for the Royal Aero Club of the trans-Atlantic flights by the crews of the Handley - Page, Vickers-Vimy and Martinsyde planes now being assembled here. His departure, however, will not af- fect the plan's of these crews, all of whom are rushing preparations in the hope of "hopping off" before the R-34 leaves England. BETRAYER OF MISS CAVE A TO BE T i.E c French Socialist Turned Traitor, Entered Service of Germans as a, Spy. Paris, June 8. -Gaston Quien, a Socialist known as Luc, who, it is believed, played a prominent part in the betrayal of Miss Edith Cavell, who was executed by the Germans at Brussels in October, 1915, will be placed on trial next month. by Capt. Gebrault, of the Sixth Mill- i was serving a sentence in the jail at St. Quentin in 1914, and was liber- ated when the Germans first took the town. It is said he entered the Ger- man service as a spy and got em- s ployment in Miss Cavell's hospital at Brussels. Soon after he began to work there, it is said, Miss Cavell was arrested and executed. Quien was afterwards sent to Switzerland i as an invalid. Sixty witnesses have been called to testify in the trial. They include Princess Maria of Croy, who also was denounced to the Germans by Quien and Madame 13ovard, who was tried at the same time as Miss Cavell. tary Court, established _±hat liiiPn _ .. Sunk, Captured and Seized by the Allies During War. A despatch from London says: - Vice -Admiral Hollweg, writing in the Vossische Zeitung, estimates the Ger- man mercantile marine before the war at a gross tonnage of five and a half millions. In the four and a half years of the war about three-quarters of a million tons were added, little more than the output of a single normal year. During the war about 1,000,000 tons were captured by the enemy, of which 325,000 tons were taken on the high seas. Two and a half million tons took refuge .in neutral haibors, but as neutrals came into the war the great- er part of this was lost, To Spain a total of 22,000 tons and to Holland 38,000 tons were given in compensa- tion for losses due to the U-boat cam- paign. He estimates that, in all, Germany lost about three and a half millions of gross tonnage during the war. BRITAIN WEL PURCHASE ALL AVAILABLE A RADIAN i00 117741 British- Food Controller Has Already Arranged For the import of Bacon, Butter and Lard --Big Demand For Cheese.. A despatch from London says: - Negotiations are now in progress be- tween Britain and Canada for the supply of all available foodstuffs to the former. High as are prices in Canada at the present, it is on ar- rangements with her and her sister Dominions that the Mother Country is pinning her hope of cheaper food prices, now that control has been removed. Already arrangements have been made for the export of bacon, butter, lard, etc:, from Canada during the present year, while the 'British Food Controller, Mr. G. H. Roberts, advocates permanent arrangements with a viely to nvl;ing the Fni ire sell'-stfpportin•.' Tlioie rias been a rapid reduction in British food prices, but during the last month the figures we •e197 per cent, higher than before the ,Wear ".s compared 138 per „j un ovemlier. 't ns threatepea, however, that iii'* ..W?rater. l ?c0 r= tv1 may be ltigher than ever,-:`, for this reason that all available sur- pluses of feod are being secured from Canada, Australia, South 'Africa anal the other overseas Dominions. For bacon supplies., for instance, Britain will continue to be dependent on Can- ada and the United States, but fears' competitive buying by Germany and Austria in this market. The stocks of bacon owned by the Ministry of Food are almost exhausted, and bacon will probably cost 3.. thl. a pound very soon. As regards butter, Govern- ment contracts have been male with Australia and New Zealand for their exportable surplus up to next sum- mer, while negotiations are also in progress to obtain all available sup -1 plies from Canada as well as the United States, ITolland, etc. Lard is ' expected to be extremely expensive,' and triple alone could talece ell of Canada's sinrpli s.
