His Youth.—We are•, very • sorry to state that John Heslip. eldest :son of Mr. and P4rs. William J. :Shortreed, died at the parental home last Sunday evening, at the early age of 13 years, 2 months and 19 days. Saturday evening he was riding home from his uncle Robert Shortreed's, 9th line, where they had been hauling in. hay. William Johnston, of Blyth, came up behind the- wagon with his car and Robert McFadzean, who . was driving the team, pulled off • the road to let him by. One of the span was a colt and took fright at the auto and the horses attempted to rut_ away.. To avoid damaging the car the 'steeds were turned out on the side and in doing so the hayrack struck a tele- nhone pole, the jar throwing John off on the road, - the\ team continuing their ra for a hu dred rods. The in - Jared -jured lad was taken home in the car • and a doctor sent for. A nasty cut ,on the leg was sewed up but fears were entertained of internal injuries as the patient was a sturdy boy of 150 pounds who landed with great force. Sunday indications proved the fears of Saturday night only true. An ,operation was made of a ruptured operation wash undertaken and dis- -covery was made of a ruptured spleen and othea serious complioations . Death. followed about 8.30 p.m. It was a great shock to the neighbor- hood and the bereaved are very deep- ly sympathized with in their great „sorrow. John was born , in Morris. township and was 'a most exemplary youth. The -funeral took place Tues- day afternoon, Rev. Mr. Carswell, of Winthrop, conducting the service in the absence of Rev. R. A. Lundy, the pastor. who is doing mission work in Saskatchewan. Interment was made .in Brussels cemetery.

Otte of the most extraordinary ef- forts of the United States in the war is the shipbuilding programme being carried out by Henry Fords of Detroit. It is too soon yet to say whether the Eagle boats which he is building as submarine -chasers will proVe effic- ient for so far none of the boats is a- float. However, as they are not being built from Henry Ford's own plans, and are in no respect founded upon the famous Oscar ship which he sent to Europe for the purpose' of `getting the boys out of the trenches by Christ - me" but on the other hand, have been • designed' by United States naval authorities, there is every rea- son that they will do what they are intended to do. Ira this case Henry Ford is now engaged upon the most important and useful work of his hfe. His land flivvers will be for- gotten when his flivvers of the sea Perpetuate his memory, and poster- 5-ty may forget his pacifist ravings a$d recall his solid acbievem.enbe : in helping the Allies to win the war. One wouphdetail regarding theldsupnew+ose shipstwtdulatd be suppressed by the censor, but singe Frank Parker. Stockbridge, is per- mitted to tell the readers of the New York Times about the chasers, there is no good reason why the particu- lars should not be circulated in. Canada. The Eagle boat is a tor- pedo-boat destroyer without torpedo tubes. It has less engine power, and consequently less speed than the de- stroyers, but it is fast enough to Tali: down any submarine, is much cheaper and can be built in, a frac- tion of the time. Met' Eagle boat is a development, of 'the "chaser," a craft that was not thought of before the war began. The original chaser was -evolved ineEngland early in the war, its business being to make the waters near the British Isles un- healthy for the U-boat. Ali kinds of craft were pressed into service in those days. pleasure , yachts and 'motor ; boats were •" equipped with guns, and; having superior • speed to the "underwater craft, did much damage. The original chasers were usually manned by volunteers, for at that time the hunting of the sub- marines was, regi d. as a sport, a sort of deep • sea firing rather than a most deadly ax ''urgent business. Gradually a special type was evolved, an 85 -foot boat with a com- paratively small cruising radius, good speed. with guns heavy enough to sink any submarine, and this British chaser has probably to its credit more sunk ,submarines than any other . craft that floats. When the United Staten joined. the Allies the U-boats had become rather big- ger and faster' than in the earlier days of the war, and consequently a more powerful chaser was needed. The Eagles, therefore, are,,. longer than the older •type, and corre- spondingly faster and more power- ful. The plans for the American chasers Were prepared at Washi g - ton. and Secretary Daniels asked Mr. Ford if he could turn them out, and the motor man said that he could. A contract far 280 of - the oraft was thereupon signed, and Ford agreed to ,fill it in a year. If he could have made the Eagle boats in the same plants as he makes hips automobiles the task would not have been a tremendous one; but he had to erect a new plant, buy or invent new machinery, employ new hands and generally launch upon an enterprise as strange to him as would be the manufacture of hair nets or gas fixtures. - However, Ford and the Ford organization proved equal to the ask •and in a few days a dozen of the Eagles wili be afloat. In Au- gust it is calculated that one of them a day will be turned out, There is not a forging or a rolled beam or shape in , the whole ship. Every- thing, keels, floors, frames, beams and angles—is pressed, from sheet metal, cold, by means of automatic machinery, that cuts every piece to an ' exact pattern, punches the rivet holes, 30 or 40 at a time, and bends every part to its precise final shape. In other words° Mr. Ford is build- ing Eagle boats as one might build galvanized iron garages. . As Mr. Stockbridge says: "All that he asks is to have a sufficient and continu- ous supply of standarized steel sheets delivered at his back door, 1 and the finished ships can be turn- ed out of the front door as rapidly as the automatic machinery can fa- r bricate the raw steel into the neces- 1 Bary parts." The buildink in which the boats I are being built covers 13 acres, and lit is said that the mere fact that the ! plant was -'repared in four months. I would entitle Mr. Ford to a cham- pionship. ham- pionship. bolt of some kind, no mat- ter what was the fate of- his Eagle boats. Undoubtedly the Detroit manufacturer has done great things, land he may properly regret that his I patriotic efforts are not given equal publicity to his adventure with the Oscar II. Is it certain that his war - work will assist Him in his cam: paign to become a United States ' enator, for Mr. Ford has become infested with the idea that he ought to be one of the lawmakers of the nation. While full, credit is givejn him for his work on the Eagle boats, there appears to be a general dis- position to accept him as a man whose opinion in international af- fairs would not be valuable. HOW GERMANY FINANCES THE WAR 1 It being taken for granted that this war is not to be ended by Germany starving to death, or by a revolution. or by her- finacial collapse or by• any other agency than the fighting men in the armies opposed to her, it is still interestin - to consider some of the less vital actors in her present situation. Let ,us take. up the matter of finance, for instance, or rather fol- low the noted Canadian 'author, Ag- nes Laut, who writes in the New York Sun of- the industrial cataclysm . that Germany is facing. Miss Laut speaks as off -handedly about a billion dollars as any of us. bub she writes with the profoundest respect about $80 or $100, and brings home the German problem by stepping down these billions ' of narks and Germany's millions of pop- ulation into the case of hundreds of dollars owner or . owed by individuals. A nation is merely a collection of in- dividuals. National wealth is rnerely an aggregate of individual wealth, and ,by taking the case of a single German, whom we may call Hans, we get a true perspective of the German problems. Hans is engaged in a small manu- facturing business subject - to very OSITOR high' fire sks. He is making ex- plosives, sa , andthey are likely to blow up 1 a most unpremeditted and disastr+us manner. The profits, however, a large, and if dans getg through a ear without loss, he may expect to ake $10,000 on his in- vestment. I - the first year, however, he found -t at he had lost his entire, capital by xplosioiis. So he had to go to the ink and borrow another $1,000 on ` is expectations.. Bad luck pursued hi , however, for again• he lost his ea ;+ ital.,' and' this happened eight time Hans then took stock and found hat, he was in. this posi- tion: If t next year his business did not 131. w up on Moir he would make up ea ough money to put hini Where he. started- after all these years of la or. If the bad luck held, he- would a absolutely ruined. He would have no money, no credit. He would be in -danger of starving to death unless he - found a job Work- ing for someone else, afid as long as he held his job he could hope to de little more than clear off his debt in the remainder of his life. This is the financial position of t Germany to -day. According to her own official - statements, the total value of all her farms, facrtories, ships and every other item if capi- tal . wealth is seventy-five billion dol- lars. ,Her annual income is given as ten billions. lout this a gross income. not 'profit, not what is;left after the cost of living and doing business is taken out. Economists say that if an individual saves. from one-sixth to one-eighth of his gross income he is doing very well indeed. 'That is, if a man earns $40 a week he does well to bank $5 or $7 of it. Now, Ger- many is not abel to put by money in any such proportion. One-sixth of her income is not enough to pay the interest on her debt, and she is run- ning short br hundreds of millions of dollars every year. As long as she can keep on paying, interest she cal- culates that she can keep on bor- rowing. She is `in the Dosition of the get -rich -quick swindlers, who paid interest out of capital. Their method was satisfactory as long ,,as they could get fresh capital, ,but when the capitalstopped pouring in the boom burst immediately. On Germany's awn figures, Miss Laut says, her interest charges are greater ' than all her savings, and her national debt is already nearly 50 per cent. of her entire popula- tion's ownership. Will the German people be willing to give up all their profits to pay interest on a bootless debt.. Will they _be willing to give up 50 per cent, ;of all they own ,to pay the debt itself ? It was notvery long ago that Haassse, the Socialist, said: "We must put, on blinders not to see the abyss ahead. If the war goes on our• nation will be bled white and 'destroyed through ex- haustion." We krabw from . Herr Thyssen and other's that German war loans now are . a speciesof blackmai % Great manufacturers who hesitate to invest are likely to have their plants seized ' by the Government. The 'hope of : indemni- ties has been dangled before the German nation. • since the beginning thei - war. Itwas this " t of on, accoun that, the Bolshevik cry of 0"No an- nexations! no. indemnities," fell like a knell on the ears of the German people. ' Of the last three German war loans only ane -fifth was actual new money lured from hiding: Four- fifths was no more than the prom- ise of the German investors to pay, and the security they offered was their previous loan certificates. What will happen after the war, when the German government starts out to call in these mortgages on the various loans?, The holder must sell to realize cash. The manu- facturer must sell them to get coin to set up in bu§iness again. The importer must sell them to get coin. for the importation of raw ma- terial. Who, then, . will buy? The answer is that the people will. buy them who will buy stage money or bills of the Southern Confederacy. A beaten Germany will be a ruined Germany, just as the Southern Con- federacy was ruined. There will be this difference, that the South was not without friends- and v,Sell-wish- ers,: ,which, again, is a difference quite as great as that netween' bankruptcy. and- solvency. Mrs. Cassie Denney, a full-blooded Indian of Oneida, Wis., has given three of her sons to the service of Uncle Sam in the present war, and says that the fourth will go as soon es he is old enough. Miss Geraldine M.DeCourcy of Mis- sissippi, who is now employed in the passports • department of the United States legation in Berne, Switzerland, is to be honored by the British gov- ernment for her untiring efforts in the behalf of British civilians interned .in Berlin. HOW IS YOUR APPETITE?_ Los's of appetite during the, sum- mer months is a common trouble, and indicates that the digestive sys- tem is out of order. Lacking a healthly appetite many people — es- pecialy • women—go too long ,tivith- out food, or eat sparingly, because. food seems to distress them, and it is no wonder that they complain that they are constantly tired and unable to stand the hot weather. This sim- ply means that the digestive system is not doingits proper work, : and that the nutriment that should come from the food is not being distribut- ed to the various organs of the body. In other words the blood is growing. thin and .watery. You need a - summer tonic, and in all the realm of medicine there is no tonic can equal Dr. Williams'- Pink Pills. Take a short treatment with these pills now and notice how .promptly your appetite returns. and your strength will return and you will no longer complain that the hot weather tires you out. .
