CANADA'S PART
OF WAR LOAD
AReview of Her Industrial
Achievements During
Two Years.
BY g. ROY WEAVER.
<-. k-st~S>N

Toronto, August 4.
Some one has said: 1.-THE historians
of the war will agree that there was
no moro stupendous achievement than
tho voluntary enrolment In Great Brit
ain Of an army of 100000. and second
only in significance and magnitude
will be the voluntary enrolment Of the
army Of Canada" He might truth
fully have added that the financial and
industrial achievements Of the Domin-
ion since tho war began are hardly less
remarkable than the military miracle.
Tho full story Of tho part which
the factories and workshops Of Can
ada have played and arc now playing
after two years Of war, In providing
munitions for the Allies. cannot yet be
written. For obvious reasons, a screen
Of secrecy has been placed between the
public and the industrial operations in
the Dominion involving the supply OF
war materials. That screen is moved
occasionally just far enough for one
TO get a glimpse Of a development of
surprising magnitude. an organization
of greater extent than the people Of
Canada or the citizens Of other coun-
tries have imagined. At the outbreak
of the war q few shells were msnufact-
ured at the Quebec Arsenal. They
were very few, however. and no other
institution In the Dominion had any
practical knowledge of the production
of munitions. Such was the situation
in August, 1914.

Well may tho bankers Of Cleve-
land at the present time increase
their expenditures for electric signs,
display advertising and window
dressing 10 promote the idea Of
thrift, or rather to save it from
disregard, for never was the spend
ing impulse stronger. Prosperity
is a bowling pastime. People are
rushing to and fro in search of
ways to rid themselves of money.
One favorite way is to indulge the
gregarious taste for conventions and
conclaves. They are continuous.
They are accompanied by bands.
They leave trails of money. In
stead of going direct to the place Of
meeting they stop here and there
en- route for refreshment and recre-
alton. They serenade themselves
indoors and outdoors. A band Of
four bass drums, fourteen snare
drums and twenty bugles appears
in the lobby of hotel of thousand
rooms and a thousand baths, does
its worst, which is terrible, and van
ishes away. Nobody is surprised.
Only an Fastener minds. At mid

The Situation To-day.

To-day the Imperial Munitions Board
in Canada is shipping three million
loaded shells per month to the British
War Office. and this rate has been
maintained for some months. More
over, from one TO one and a half mil
lion dollars is being disbursed daily
more than s35,00O,OOO per MONTH in
Canada by the board TO pay for shells
delivered to it by Canadian manufact-
ures. In other words, the munitions
orders placed in Canada for the I'M
perial Government have reached a rate
OF s425. 100000 per year. The volume
OF business handled by the Munitions
Board has grown until now it is the
largest on the continent, with the ex-
cepton of the United States Steel Cor
poration, the Standard Oil concerns
and the Swift companies.
Orders from Russia.
In addition. extensive orders are
being filled for the Russian govern
ment The Canada Car and Foundry
Company has been the primary con-
tractor on an ss5,OoO,o0o order for
100000 shells for Russia. Approx
mately 100000 shells have already
been shipped on account of this con-
tract, with a value of $4,000, 900. More
are going forward at the rate of $4,000
shells a week, and it is anticipated that
the order will be completely filled by
December. Nor have Canadian fac
tories confined their war productions
TO shells and component parts Of shells.
Important orders have been placed for
a large number Of war supplies. Every
Canadian soldier at the front or in
training has been provided up TO the
present with the Ross rife, which is
entirely Canadian made. To secure uni

LIGHT GEORGIA PEACH
CROP STARTS MOVING

ATLANTA, Ga, June 2.-Georgia
crop is luight this season and it is
estimated only about $500 cars will be
shipped. The Georgia Fruit Exchange
has all facilities at hand for handling
the crop and ready market is being
found for the fruit. Congested mar
kets, which have resulted in low prices
when full crop was produced, will
not have to be contended with by the
Fruit Exchange this season. Shipping
will continue until the middle of July.
The Alabama and Tennessee peach
crops are also light.

NO WORD RECEIVED
FROM MISSING MAN

The disappearance of Harry NJ
Game, of the grocery firm of Hockett
& Game, West Main street, is still
mystery to his family and friends
Game disappeared last Tuesday even
ing after an automobile accident near
knigEtstown. 1t is believed that he
has become mentally unbalanced
w. n. Hockett, his brother-in-law
and partner in the grocery business,
said today that no word has been re-
ceived from any source which would
help solve the mystery. Descriptions
of the man have been sent to the
police in many cities in the state. He
was a man of slender build with a
thin face and medium blonde hair. He
weights about $50 pounds and is 5
feet 8 inches tall. He was wearing a
grey suit when last seen.
His wife and two children are
stricken with grief over the sudden
disappearance of, the man and are I'M
able to offer any probable explana-
ton of the cause unless it is due to
an unbalanced mind.

SAYS HUGHES MUST
END SPYNx STUNT
OR LOSE SUPPORT

CHICAGO, June 2.-When Governor
Whitman, of New York, who is to
make the speech nominating Justice
Hughes reaches here, with the New
York delegation on Sunday. he will
be told that if he personally can as
sure the delegates that his candidate
will accept and will make the race
on the platform that is to be adopted
the success of the Hughes movement
will be assured. But he also will be
warned that if there has been no ex-
preston of his candidates intentions
when the convention gets down to
business, many delegates who are
willing to vote for him will transfer
their strength to other men. Whitman
already knows this. His secretary
and personal representative, William
Orr, is on the ground. He has COM
municated to the governor the anxiety
of the leaders here to know jusi where
Hughes stands and it is believed that
he is now trying to smoke him out.

ANTIQUE IS GIVEN
To PARIS MUSEUM

PARIS. June Gabriel Faure, the
composer, has given to the Conserva-
totre relic to which poignant his
tory is attached. When war broke out
young musician born in Manritius,
and living at Buenos Ayres, Eugene
de Lahaye Duponsil, came to Europe
at once and enlisted in the British
Army.
He asked his father. if he should
fall in action. to give his violin to the
Paris Conservatoire to be used by any
pupil too poor to buy himself a good
instrument. The young musician was
killed in the British lines near Loos
last October. The violin was then in
London and was despatched by the
French Consul to Mr.. Maure
The instrument was brought across
the Channel in the ill-fated Sussex.
Luckily the violin was saved undam-
aged and duly reached the director of
the Conservatoire.

GEORGIA CONTEST
BLOW FOR HUGHES

CHICAGO, June 1.-The throwing
out of the Hughes delegates from
Georgia has made no impression on
the Hughes leaders. They had expect
ed that action, as it has been con-
sidered certain from the start that
the national committee. although anxi-
GUS to be conciliatory, intended to sup
port all delegates who had the backing
of the local machines. The Georgia
delegates who were seated had the
backing of Henry S. Jackson, national
committeeman from that state
1t was pointed out that even
though the seating of the Jackson rep
. resentatives was a loss on paper to
Justice Hughes. it was by no means a
gain for Roosevelt, inasmuch as Jack
son and his followers are uncompro-
misingly anti-Roosevelt.
They will vote for Root on the in
itial ballot, but will go to the candi-
date that seems most likely to win
when the real test comes.
The national committee continued its
work today of listening to the remain
ing contests. There still are to be
disposed of the following:

and eight congressional districts

CLAIM STUPENDOuS
LOSS FOR GERMANS
IN VERDUN BATTLE

PARIS, June 2.-The Mattn states
that the German losses since the
battle of Verdun opened on February
| 81 must be at least 100000 men in
killed, wounded and prisoners. These
| losses have been heavier during the
past fortnight Of fighting than at any
other time since the Teutons were
attacking around FIT Douaumont in
| the first two weeks of the engage
ment.
French guns have taken a heavy
toll but the heaviest losses have been
inflicted by the machine guns. Most
of the casualties on the French side
have resulted from the incessant
Smelling of the Germans.
Cannonade Precedes.
The cannonade of drum fire which
preceded Thursdays attacks east of
the Meuse was uninterrupted for
twenty-six hours. All the time the
Germans kept not only the first but
the second line trenches under fire.
drenching the French positions with
tons of steel. Pomeranian troops were
sent forward when the fire slackened,
debouching from Chaffour woods but
were moved down in great numbers
by French guns masked behind Cote
De Froide and Hill No. 800 Even
harder was the hammer blow which
was struck simultaneously against the
French trenches in Caillettes wood
and south OF Chapitre wood.
The object of these assaults was to
give the Germans possession Of
Fleury, south of Thiaumont farm and
less than mile from Fl. Souville, one
of the works defending Verdun on
the northeast
After a heroic combat the French
retired to their supporting trenches
along front of 1000 yards, where
the struggle is in progress now. If
the Germans had been successful in
their first rushes, they would have
endangered the whole line of the
French northeast of Verdun.
1t is believed that the Russians and
the British will soon launch offensive
movements which will compel the Ger
mans TO lessen their pressure at Yer
dun. But the battle, so far as it has
proceeded. has taught the people of
the allied nations that the Germans
are far from exhaustion and that thew
can strike blows now which are fully
as vigorous as those driven home
during the early days of the war.

TEDDY AND HUGHES ]
CLAIM WEEK VOTE
ON SECOND BALLOT

CHICAGO, June 2.-While specula-
ton as to the probable action Of the
untnstructed delegates to the G. o. P.
convention is necessarily limited, be-
cause none OF the big state delegations
are yet on the ground and their ma
uonal committeeman are not willing
to speak for them, 1t is admitted even
In the Roosevelt camp that Justice
Hughes constantly is growing strong
er.
Claims made on behalf of the colonel
that he will have the Weeks delegates
after the first ballot were sharply
contested by the Hughes men today.
And their claims were backed up by
the men who are closest to Senator.
Weeks, who very frankly explained
that the senator could not deliver his
strength to any one if he so desired.
The Hughes men claim they will have
the Weeks delegates after the first
vote and probably before.
Senator Weeks has assured personal
friends that it is his intention, If he
sees that he cannot win, to personally
release all of his delegates and sug-
| gest that they vote for whoever they
believe can be nominated And 1t is
claimed here that Senator Lodge,
Weeks colleague from Massachusetts,
has expressed the belief that the can
| didate who would stand the best
chance of success at the polls is JUS
tice Hughes.
Just where the uninstructed dele
gates are expected to stand was made
clear today by National Committee
| man Samuel Perkins Of Washington
state. He is brother of George W.
Perkins, the Progressive leader, and
will prove a real factor in the con-
vention as the northwest states ex-
pect to act together.

in November" explained Mr.. Perkins
to the International News Service to-
day. 'The Republicans in my section
of the country believe that the time
has come when the party must get to-
gether."
