144,253 on January 1, 1916, a decline
of 50 per cent. For the six months
since elapsed figures are not avail

calls to the colors have left not more
than 10 per cent of the members at

The membership totals given in

The number of unemployed has de-
clined steadily. Money support had
been granted on January /, 1916, to
1884 but this total had dropped on
January /, 1916, TO PAST. The great
est decreases in unemployment were
in the case OF book printers, wood
workers and metal workers.
The influence of the war on the
unions treasury is shown by the fact
that, while there was a decrease of
nearly five and a quarter million
marks in receipts, the. treasury bal
ance increased some 100000 marks in
1915 over 1914. This was, OF course,
due to the reduced calls made on the

that were fitted with canvas turrets
and wooden guns TO resemble dread
naughts in the British navy.
The feet was equipped In Belfast

During this portion of metamo rphus
a painter working on the mast Of one
vessel fell through a thirteen-inch
'armored" turret and broke the
twelve-inch gun inside the turret.
The Phantom" fleet was used for
decoy duty off tho GaIlipoli peninsula
to draw the fire of the Turks. Walsh
admitted yesterday he had served on
one of these vessels. I'VE often looked
over the imposing armament on our
ship" he said. land wondered which
twelve-inch gun we would float to
