MUNITION TOWN'S GLORY
DEPARTED
A special correspondent of the Man-
chester ' Guardian gives a picture of
Gretna, the town which sprang into
being with almost magical sudden-
ness in response to .the imperious
needs for explosives in' 1916 and1917,
and which may be almost as quickly
effaced. '
."The arresting , hand of a ' tardy
economy has brought 'all the cordite
manufacturing plants distributed over
this wide area to, a standstill. It is
the definite stoppage of all work as
much as the fact that 8,000 people,
the rear guard of the :great army of
munition makers who invaded this
track of border country, are tb be
thrown idle, which is of new signifi-
cance.
It is true that the `Government is
accredited with% the intention, 'on the
authority of ea local official, of stick-
ing to Gretna. It is said, moreover,
that it contemplates resuming work
as the present stocks of cordite be-
come depleted. How that is to come
about is not explained, an the only
light the officil mentioned -could o l
d throw
on the matter was that cordite deter-
iorates in course of time 'and must
be replaced. If work were resumed
.it could only be on a modified scale,
even though a hope which is held out
-ivere realized and some other process,
such as the filling of cartridges, were
introduced as an added justification
for the step.
"But however this may be employ;
ment can never be found for all of
the people who were here in the days
of ' intensive cordite production and
for whom habitations of one kind
and another were hurriedly erected.
The declension of Gretna seems in-
evitable and the town as I saw it
yesterday and again to -day seems sad-
ly conscious of it. There is a melan-
choly air about it. It appears to be
`
THE OTROS EXPOSER
revolving the question, .to vary the
poet's words: 'Where are the crowds
of yesteryear?' It is all too apparent
that. they have fled.
"During the boom .period 18,000
of the 26,000 persons employed were
actually housed in Gretna and there-
abouts; the remaining 18,000 travelling
daily by shift trains from Carlisle
and Annan. There are , hardly more
than 3,000 people living in the neigh-
borhood. These figures are in them-
selves commentary sufficient on the
transformation, Gretna is at the
heart of - this munition area. Its
western extremity is confined by the
township of Donock four miles away,
and eastward it is bounded by the
township of Moss Bank, distant three
miles.
"If you can picture an ordinary mil-
itary camp, partially deserted, trans-
planted to these corn fields and graz-
ing lands rising gently from the shores
of the Esk, you have a fair idea of
what Gretna looks like, with this dif-
ference; that here} and there- cutting
across the regimental lines of wooden
huts are trim rows of dwelling houses,
sometimes in red
brick arid sometimes
etimes
in white stucco. Another -point of
varianceis that there
or three
aggressively new churches which have
all the air of having survived the
spiritual needs, as many of the wood-
en huts and all the hotels have sur-
vived the material needs that called
them into existence. From..here any
clear day you may see the sun rise
above the dark cluster of the Lake-
land
akeland hills or set in the silver distance
of Solway Firth. It is the storied
Border Land of the foray and the
moss trooper.
"As I have stated, in 1917 there
were 26,000 persons engaged either in
cordite -making at Gretna, or in the
manufacture of its constituent parts
at Dornock and Moss Bank, That
number decreased gradually during
"I Hope
Every City and
District Will Win
My Flag"
When Edward, Prince of Wales—eager, bright
eyed, smiling and sincere—arrived in Canada in'
August, and when he voiced his great admiration of
the wonderful achievements - of Canadians, on the
fields of battle and .at home, once again we were
thrilled with joyous pride.
He asked concerning Canaada's reconstruction pro.'
gramme, and wen he was told of the Victory Loan
1919, he graciously consented to the use of his Coat
of Arrns on a flag, which is to be the prize of honour,
for districts achieving their quota in the loan.
In dedicating "The Prince's Flag" at Ottawa on
b Labor Day, His Royal Highness said in part:— i
;. "It is a great joy to me to be associated with the
loan, which is the bridge between war and peace, and
which is finishing off the job."
"I hope every city and district will' win my flag." -
Striking, and 'beautiful in design, this flag will forni.
not only an unique memento of Victory Year, but a
lasting and outstanding souvenr of the visit of His
Royal Highness -=-a visit which will remain as one o_ f
the most memorable events in Canada's history. .
The reproduction above shoves the design of the
flag. The body is white, the edge red; in the upper
1: F:: hand corner is the Union Jaek, and in the lower
right hand corner the Prince of Wales' Coat of Arms.
The is made in two sizes, 4 ' feet 6 inches by
9 feet for small cities, towns and villages, and 7 feet
by 13 feet 6 inches for cities of over 10,000 population.
Canada has been divided into canvassing districts
by the Victory Loan Organization. Each city forms
one district. Other districts have been determined
according to population.
Each of these canvassing districts has been allotted.
a certain amount in Victory Bonds to sell. To win
the Prince's Flag, therefore, a district has to sell its
allotment. That is the one and simple condition.
Anticipating that many districts will buy far
beyond their allotment, the organization decided that
for each twenty-five per cent. excess of the quota one
Prince of Wales' Crest be awarded. Thus the worke4s
in . i district doubling its quota will be the proud win-
ners of four small crests for their Honour Flag. These
crests will be sewn to the flag. , The Prince's Crest
MTM.s,
the three ostrich plumes—is shown at the top of the
coat of arms;
` c
To every organization with f fty or more employees,
where seventy-five per cent. of the . enrollment invests
a total of ten per cent. of the annual payroll in Victory
Bonds, a supplementary Prince . of Wales Flag in
smaller form -48 ` inches by 34 inches --will be
awarded. '
The allotment for eachdistrict has been carefully
considered, and is based on a conservative estimate
-of the purchasing power of the district. .
Your district can sell its allotment and thus win the
Prince's Flag, provided each person does his or her
share.
You will gladly do your part and encourage your
neighbour to do his.
Remember YOUR purchase may be the one that
decides whether or not your district is to be the proud
possessor of the Prince's Flag.-

1918. At the armistice 16,000 was the
figure, and in the intervening nine
months it now has been brought down
to 3,000, and now by the last decision
of the Ministry of Munitions it is to
be reduced to a mere 400. These
persons are to be retained for main-
tenance .purposes. It is clear that
at nq time have there been wholesale
dismissals such as might have brought
hardships to thousands, and it is gen-
erally allowed here that in this case,
at all events, the Ministry of Muni-
tions have, acted with some foresight
and consideration. People who remain
in Gretna have been mostly absorbed
industry in. Carlisle, and travel' to
and fro each ,clay by rail.
"Perhaps the most notable indica
tion of the way in which the popula-
tion has shrunk is furnished by the
hotels. They number about 140, and
are commodious wooden structures in
which on an average seventy persons
were housed. They are now desert-
ed. Vacant windows afford glimpses
of empty interiors. The streets which
knew, if only for a brief space, all
the bustle and animation of numbers
are little frequented. There is hard-
ly anything now to distract the cattle
from "their placid grazing in the mead-
ows which creep right up to the edge
of this town of a day.
"Everywhere the manufacturing
plants 'are idle, and the offices, ,de-
nuded of their staffs, ate in the keep-
ing
eep
ing of a few officials and commission-
'ekes.
ommission-'sires. Wry patently it is a town ..
whose occupation, like Othello's, has
gone. Gretna, as it was put to me,
has been worth several victories in
the field. Doubtless it was a triumph=
ant vindication of our much assailed
power of organization and improvise -
1
tion."
PERILS IN INCREASING USE
OF COFFEE AND TEA
Alcohol is a narcotic. Tea and
coffee are stimulants, in fact they
are rather irritating nervines. Since
the suppression of alcohol there has
been a very marked' increase in the
drinking of tea and coffee. What,
then, is going to be the effect.
The New York Medical Journal
says that "what we need least of all
here in America is stimulants," as
there is a definite tendency to lead a
strenuous life without any stimulant
or even under the influence of such.
a narcotic as alcohol.
We were already great coffee drink-
ers.
rinkers. Before the war every man, wo-
man and child in tis country was
consuming twelve pounds of dried
coffee beans every year. This is only
about half an ounce a day, but six-
tenths
ixtenths of one per cent. of it is caffeine,
one of the most powerful stimulants
known. And of course many people
did not touchcoffee, so the amount
taken by those who did drink it was
even greater. And many of the so-
called temperance drinks contain
theine and caffeine.
"It will not be surprising, then, to
have an increase in functional nervous
diseases, for they are dependent to a
great extent on this overstimulation
of the nervous system, thus keeping it
on edge and not permitting it to re-
lax. There will almost surely be an
increase of • insomnia and related af-
fections, for the prohibition substi
tutes practically all have exactly the
opposite tendencies ;with regard ; to
sleep as that exerted by the alcoholic
drinks. Tea and coffee, though -not
intoxicating in the accepted sense of
the word, are distinctly toxic and de-
finitely increase blood pressure.
"As increased blood -pressure with
its deteriorating effect on heart and
arteries is the characteristic patho-
logical development of our time, one
unfortunate result can be readily fore-
seen. Already the death rate above•
forty has increased instead of dimin-
ished and just when men are most
valuable ilee degenerative diseases are
carrying thein off. The next five years
will surely show some very interest-
ing effects of the new regime that has
been inaugurated."
