ithout passing the necessary by-law

special meeting of the couneil held
a few days ago the council decided
not to pass the by-law in the meantime
and consequently no grant will be
made until the by-law is finally passed
by the council,

Royal Edward or the itoyal George,
the Letitia, the Andania., Alauuia, ox
the Ascauia, or any other of the ves-
sels once so well-known here no one
will tell you where they are. And
that for a good reason, too; their
whereabouts 'ere known only to the
captains and the Lords of the Ad-
miralty, • When the peace of the
world was broken by the Kaiser's
mad acts the big ships vanished
quickly. Some of them' made a few
voyages here after the fateful Fourth.
of .August, but that was only to
bring back to America the thousands
of tourists who had been caught
abroad by the war. Then they left
too—and they are still away some-
where. . The soldier writes from
"somewhere in France;" Montreal's
big ships are ''somewhere" no one
knows but 'they are "doing their bit'
bravely wherever they are.
Coming. to Montreal this season
are only a few of the old craft. The
Aliens have the Hesperian, Corin -
than, Sicilian, and Grampian; the
C. P. R. the services of its new
cruiser liners, the Metagama and
the Missanable, the 11Iegantic and
the Northland compose the fleet of
the White Star Company, while the
Donaldsons have to be content with
the Cassandra and the Athenia. The
C. N. R. has not a ship flying its
house flag here this season and the
same is true of the Cunard Company.
Freighters come to all of these ship- i
ping companies, but the old-time pas-
senger ships are very few.
There are as many ships in the ,
port of Montreal this season as there
was in the corresponding time a year
ago. 5j?here_c1Q they come from?
That is the mys ery and the mystery
is increased when they are inspect-
ed. From the seas of the world they
have been collected—ships that have
traded for years in the River Plate,
all through South American waters,
that know the waters of 'the Orient
letter' than they do ` th'e Thames,
ships that have speed from pirates
in less enlightened ,(?) days—big
ships and little ones, grey ships and
white ones but mostly of the drab
color, ships whose decks remain as
they were when war came and others
which' resemble great barns which
' are --"'�
have broken adrift and gone to sea,
ships that have "raced from the Em-
den, Karlsruhe, Leipzic, and Dresden,
or that have steamed into Newport
News when the two German raiders,
finding life at sea too strenuous,

can flag, ej``:

in the commission's' itinerary will be

to visit the Sudbury nickel fields and

Ontario is fortunate in having the
valuable counsel of such a leading

Imperial Government, especially
since the opening of hostilities. He
