'BR|T|AN ABSORBS
HALF SEA tonnage
Shipping Industry Strictly Admins
tered by Admiralty, Nearly Hall
Used for War Purposes.

London. May 5.-Admiral Baron
Charles Beresford called the attention
Of the house Of lords yesterday to the
depletion in the tonnage OF British
ships needed for trade purposes, as
serting that unless It were remedied,
1t would endanger the supply of food.
and asked the government to consult
the harbor leaders with a view to OBJ
tanning more labor for ship building.
In reply. Earl Curzon said the gov
ernment is now administering the
whole British mercantile marine.
amounting to half the gross tonnage
Of the world. Forty-three per cent
Of the British tonnage. he added. has
been requisitioned for naval and mill.
tary purposes. IA per cent is occupied
in carrying foodstuffs and raw ma
terial in behalf OF the government and
its allies and the remaining 43 per
cent is being operated by British ship
owners under strict regulations.
Our ships are carrying supplies OF
coal, grain. food. timber. munitions
and the raw material munitions to all
our allies on an unprecedented scale"
continued Earl Curzon, but for these
supplies to France. Russia and Italy.
they would be dependent upon their
own totally inadequate resources.
'In several instances the shortage
of tonnage has been balanced by new
ships. 1t is surprising that we stood
the strain so we'll. Five hundred yes.
sells Of all sorts are being built and
the number Of small sraft added to
the mercantile marine has been more
than 200."
Personally. Earl Curzon said he
would like to see much greater re-
striction OF imports. but the great diff,
ficulty was how to satisfy the con.
flicting interests Of the allies and the
dominions. The government had en-.
gagged a considerable number OF Can.
adian lumbermen to cut timber In this
country and 1900 OF them were now
on their way to England. By using
British supplies OF timber for sleep
ers, pit props and other purposes. he
believed England would be less de
pendent upon foreign supplies.

WHAT MANY CHILDREN LACK

a sad sight, indeed, it is to see so
many children on our streets weak,
peeyish, delicate and ailing, with
spindling little legs and arms and
often so cross that parents can do
nothing with them, all because they
lack vitality. Our local druggist
VIM. l.. Gokay asks the parents Of
every such child to try Vinol, his non
secret cod liver and iron remedy, to
overcome such conditions. 1t can.
tains no oil or grease. and is so de-
licious children love to take it.
