SCHOOL BLDG TAKES SHAPE

The walls of the new high
school building are gradually tax
ing shape, bricklaying having
begun last week, after much
effort had been expended on the
foundation, which was somewhat
difficult owing to black mud be-
ing encountered at a depth of
four feet.
An army of artisans are at
work laying brick, putting in the
stills and getting the first story
ready for the ceiling as The
Chleftain goes to press, and to
all appearances this building will
be one that every citizen will feel
a source of pride in, as the loca-
ton is slightly and one that will
command attention.
Contractor Welton is sparing

British debtors and debtors of other
nations dependent on British finance

present situation by any mean other
than gold shipments. Our export
trade has so upset the balance of the
foreign exchanges that gold payments

tions of a gold movement must make
the cash exchange inadequate to set
tie such trade balances as have ac-
crued In III favor, but this Of itself
should guarantee that methods will
be contrived to provide credit for
financing our external commerce after
the customary fashion.
The situation, although Astounding
in anomalies and curioslties, Is not
so lamentable as It has been made to
appear. There has been too much
outcry over the perlls Of the present
gold invasion, too much defamation
against the grave probabilities OF an
imitation. 1t is for the bankers to
safeguard the extension Of credit, but
unjustified fear is being aroused in
the business community by warnings
that business expansion may prove to
be unsound.
In particular attention should be
devoted to opportunities for using
this gold for the extension Of suhi.
Client credits in the field Of foreign

RepeaI the Seamen's Law!

As the Department of Commerce
dissects the seamen's law. the crudi'
ties aud %stupidlties of that measure
become more convincingly conspicu-
u Its incidence Is restricted to a
p!tiful number of vessels: its pro-
visions contract in their significance
with every reading; and the unequal
burden It imposes on a few helpless
establishments becomes every day
more apparent.
The weaknesses Of the measure
might have been ascertained while Il
was pending. Not a few OF Its absurd
provisions were then pointed out.
But the object Of its promoters was
less 10 regulate shipping than to &C
complish a political end. Their cal
culations took into account votes TO
be gained. Little thought did they
e1pend on other effects of the bill they
advocated. 1t was labelled humane
and demanded by labor" and 1t was
put through regardless of anything
except It's fruit at the polls.
To cure its defects a radical opera
ton is needed. Repeal alone would
lift its burdensome hand from the
shipping trade. Will Congress and
the PRESIDENT unite to rid the country
Of this futile, dishonest and embar.
IA ssing statute?

The New Tennis Champion.

The championship tennis which

in the tournament at Forest Hill was
true TO form and therefore no sur
prise to impartial observers OF the

chance to he the champion Of 1915 II
MAURICE T.. MCLoUGHHN should be
his opponent in the final.
While IL was not necessary TO rate
BEHR with the eX-champion, the fact
remained that BEHR had outplayed

had proved that his victory over Nc

last year was not a fiuke. As a mat
ter of fact, WILLIAMS won with COM

that the ~ey-champion was not playing
