Ask the question, and ten thousand voices reply in one great chorus: "The Navy"- the sailors who manned the dreadnoughts, cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, have been the impregnable line of defence. But Admiral Jellicoe is not satisfied with that answer, and he passes on to answer the question, "Who saved the Navy?" He says without the great Naval Reserve of merchatitmen, "the Navy and indeed England, could not bave existed." They provided fuel and provision for. the dreadnoughts.c,With their lives they purchased every ton of food imported by the Allies. They gathet- ed great armies from the ends of the earth. They swept the seas for mines and sub: - marines. Almost every day some of them have been blown up. The history will never be written; it never can be, so much of it lies on the sea - bottom. Many will never be recognized as war -heroes; they would hardly under- stand it if they weee; they simply did Two 5 their duty as Britons. The consummate daring, the indomitable pluck, the subtle ingenuity, the skilful seamanship, exemp- lified in storm and darkness and hunger and battle and death have been an amaz- ing recital. In the midst of it all they have not only kept heart.—"jolly tars."

So great indeed have these shipping interests become that they could no longer be considered a side issue, and Mr. Bos- worth, according to an announve- went of the Directors of the C. P. R., will henceforth eevote the whole of 11113 time to this important branch of this great, transportation. system. William' R.

Senator Macinnes was for many years a DireotOr of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and was Closely identified with its inception and growth. Edu- cated at private schools and at Marlborough Collee°e, else of the leading public schools' in England, Mr. W. R. MacInnes returned to Canada tO enter the service of the Canadian Pacific Railway as a clerk in the Purchasing Department.

It was proposed as long ago as 1898 by a M. Berner at a meeting of the So. . ciety of Civil Engineers in France, but the scheme was then considered weeks, and not hear onct the sound av it. Food!

At any rate, the scheme has once more been revived, and this time by a M. Hen?, Bressler, who lately read a paper on the sub- ject before the same society, when it appears that all the various freak= agreed that it was highly interesting, •and that the project merited further examination. As a matter of eact La Compagnie des Chemins de Per d'Orleans has already submitted a petition. for a concession to the Minister of Public Woriee in France. However distant the realization of this project may be, there is no doubt that it is one of intense interest, not only to resi- dents of Morocco, but to the world in general. One does not know quite which to admire the most—the bold- ness of the conception, or the faith of the Frenchmen who, in the midst of the struggle now going on, and on the issues of which so much depends, are thus calmly sitting down to ini- tiate a colossal enterprise, and ex- patreating on the benefits which will follow in its train, when the enemy has not even been expelled from a large and productive part of their own country. el. Bressler drew attention to the importance which Dakar, the Senega- lese port and the nearest •point of Africa to South America, would as- sume; and to the prosperity which would be insured to many places along the route, both in Spain and in Morocco, if a through line of rail- way were established from Paris to Dakar. The journey to St. Louis, the capital of Senegal, via the eunnel, could be made in three days; and by linking,up the line with the proposed English Trans -African Railway, the Cape could be reached frOm London in eight days, withouta single change. of carriages. At a speed of 80 kilometers, the Straits could., be crossed in 20 minutes. The Spanish railway gauge would have to be en- larged to suit that of the French rail- ways, or else a special line would have to be built. As for the Trans - African Railway, no overwhelming engineering difficulties need be en- coentered, for the line would for the mdst part traverse flat, desert court - try. In making an estimate of the cork of the tuneel, the average price per lineal meter, viz„ 4,415 francs, for boring the' four principal turinele through the Alps—the Arlberg, Mont Canis, Gothard and the Simplon—hae been taken as a basis. M. Breeder, however, for a submarine tunnel, es- timates the cost at 10,000 francs per lineal meter. This, in a length of 26 kilometres, would give a total of 250,000,000 francs, and to this he adds a sum of 110,000,000 francs; for the organization of the port of Dakar, thus making en all 360,006,- 000 francs. It has seemed to serge that he has not reckoned on a suffi- cient length for the tunnel, -which, in order to reach a depth of 840 meters, would have to be carried farther In- land than he thinks; but, after all, at this stage, there is nothing to be gained by arguing about detail— the atmoepheric and hydraulic 'pres- sures to be met with at such a great depth, and so en, As the sea route between South America would be so very much shortened by landing "at Dakar, no doubt the tunnel would draw much passenger traffic, and as a natural consequence an immense limeade in the volume of trade would follow, so that in all probability, owing to such increase, the shipping companies need not fear any diminution in their present profits. exceptionally creditable industrial number last week— Kincardine Reporter The Wingham Advance printed a splendid industrial 'number last week NewwhEichwra.as a credit to the paper.—Clinton Captain Saw We/third The steamer Mariska was in Goderich this week and Capt, Foote brought what is considered the first authentic inform- ation of the whereabouts of the steamer Wexford; which was lost in the great storm of November 9, 1915. On his trip from. Chicago tie Goderich Capt. Foote passed within 20 feet of whathe firmly believes were the spars of the Wexford, as he was very familiar with that boat. The location was within 15 miles north- west by north of Point Clark arid 161 miles. from Kincardine. The last seen of the Wexford was on the fateful Sunday afternoon, when she was sighted by the. Kaministquia, which was outward bound from Goderich. The Wexford was on her way to that port. A lifeboat and several bodies came ashore near Grand Bend from the Wexford shortly after the great storm.

First, there is the loss of companionship. In times like ours few people have spare hours to de- - ' vote to cbeering an old person's solitude. Those who formerly used to live _ quiet lives with elderly relatives have nowadays in inany--probably in most — cases found the call of national urgency too strong, The People— those useful, pleasant people!—who used aelways to have a few lepurs at their disposal in which to drop in on sin old, sick or lonely person, are one and all so full of war activities that they can no longer keep up their old sinal]kindnesses.
