The more men we can get there the quicker the job will be finish- ed," The Captain was "sprinkled with ehrapnol," as he expressed it, at Festa" bert about twelve months ago, and. was sent hove for repair's.

Now we've just started in to lick them. The job may tale us two years or maybe four, but we've got to give them Buell a threshing that the German people will be so sick of war that they'll never stand for a military policy again, If we don't, if we just play them a stalemate, there'll be a woree war than this one in a genera - Lion.

"I was in the first Canadian cot Wu - gent that left for the front. That was in September, 11111. Were trained in England until the next spring, when we went to U'ranee. Then the Ger- mans had ten shells to our one, Wo just had to hold them back with mon, because we had few gone, and no munitions to speak of at all. The average active life of a British officer at the front was 21 days; I managed to stick it out 10 days longer than the rest when I was sprinkled with shrpp• nel. But I'll be back again this sum- mer." He stated that Ottawa and Wash- ington are now arranging a plate whereby the Canadians can recruit men from that colony living in the States, The captain said that there were thousande of Americans in Can.. adhere oversea forcee, 1000 having gone with the first contingent:, Carleton'd Sergeant Major served nine years iu Uncle Sam'd Army, five in the navy and four in the army," "The boys from here who want to get quick action are going to Canada, and enlisting with our forces. And I want to say that they make mighty good soldiers. One of the finest things 1 saw at the front, one of the finest anyone saw, was done by one of your American boys who was in my com- pany. "It was a hard tussle and all the stretcher bearers had been killed; the place was covered with dead and wounded; and the Germans had the raage. We called for volunteers, and Tummy Walsb was the fleet up; four men were killed in his arms as be was carrying them back to our lines. but he just; kept on going after hie wound- ed friends until they got him, too.

KING AS HERB GROWER New Industry to Replace German Supply "Will the Government protect bella- donna growers by 'a tariff?" was one of the inquiries at a conference of medicinal herb growers in the Carlton Hotel, London. They had met to die cuss tho organization of various so- cieties for producing home-grown herbs to replace supplies formerly re• celved from Germany and Austria. The inquirer explained that 6 pounds of fresh belladonna leaves produce only 1 pound of dried leaves, and. for this 50c is offered, "It's impossible to produce them profitably at that price," he said. "I have got '1 pounds of foxglove leaves and 3 pounds of dandelion roots," What good was that to a man who had orders by the ton, asked Mr. Latimer, whose point was that it was a huge industry. Sir Sydney Olivier, Permanent Secretary 'of the Board of Agriculture, intimated that it any re- liable liable organization was founded with prospects of supplying medicinal herbs in remarkable quantities tate Development Commission would doubt- less give favorable consideration to the question of a grant. "Both' the King and Queen have taken the greatest personal interest in the movement," stated Mr. II. C. Cust, the chairman of the Central Committee for National Patriotic Or- ganizations, who presided. At their Majesties' request there had been a consultation with the head gardener as to what Could be done in growing the herbs in the royal gardens, and lee (Mr. Cast) had since received a letter from the Queen's secretary stat- ing that ' the matter was being pro- ceeded with. Many owners of large garden's had started to grow medicinal herbs, some putting down 15 to 20 acres. HUGE RAILWAY SHOPS Efficiency in Repair Work Sought by Canadian Roads The principal car repair plant of the. Grand Trunk Railway for the lines west of tete St. Clair River at Port Huron for many years, was destroyed iy fire during the winter of 1914-1915. Their old plant was of limited capacity ' nd located at what was the old ter- minus of the line previous to the con- ttruction of the tunnel under the St, Clair River. After the fire negotiations ttere carried on between the town of ort Huron and the railroad, resulting n the acquisition of the property va- cated by the, Port Huron Thresher Company, which property waS very mucic more advantageously situated, being near the tunnel line. The plant was first planned to con- sist of a power house containing 6 1.54 h.p, bailers serving double turbo- eteain generatting units of 300 kw. for di.eveloping the electric power for ligat- ing and operation of machines, all Motor driven; a passenger car shop accommodating 27 modern passenger cars; a freight car shop accommodat- ing 70 freight ears; and other build - lugs, These buildings, including track- age, were to take a space of approxi- mately 55 acres; arranged for econo- mical operation, special attention hav- ing been giveit to this feature to en- sure maximum efiieieney, . The total cot was estimated at $700,000.
