marine engines and boilers for the
Imperial Munitions hoard, the French
Govenuneut end the Cuit(st States
Fleet l:Huergirney Corporation. At the
time of the armistice It had n contract
eancelle'd by the latter, amounting to
over half a ntilliou dollars, after hav-
ing
astog expended alar L sum of money
on
plant extensions. -

ptnlea in Canada have closed down,
