Few men in England work harder
than does the king at present, and be-

for the benefit of permanently disabled
soldiers and sailors, whom he has
given many proofs of his gratitude for
the sacrifices they have made for the

SIR 7HOfZAS St1AUGHXES;

The discomfort with the manner in
which j. P. Morgan & Co. have en-
ployed their position as purchasing
agent for war munitions for the Brit
ish government, has led David Lloyd
George, minister of munitions, to an
nounce that he is going to send a
prominent business man" to Amer
lea to go into the whole business of
American and Canadian contracts for
war materials. 1t is understood that
this agent will be Sir Thomas Shaugh-
messy. president of the Canadian Pa
cific railroad, who was summoned to
England some time ago for a con.
ference with Lord Kitchener on the
subject. The Morgans. it is alleged,
have profited unfairly by the con.
tracts they have placed in this coun-
try.
