FREIGHT STEAMER
 FLOODED TO HALT DISASTROUS FIRE


 Portland. March 15-In order to ex- tinguish a fire which broke out last night in her after hold. the steamer Herman Winter was lowed to the south side of the channel early today and her stern compartment flooded It was thought that the watertight bulk head annidship would save the cargo in the forehoIds, of the vessel. The package freight which was mostly on the upper decks, was removed. The damage to the vessel and cargo was estimated at $10OsO90s The Herman. Winter arrived here from New York Sunday but was unable to discharge her cargo because of q strike of 100 freight handlers.
 The fire is believed to have been due to spontaneous combustion as the matches had not been removed since her arrival, The vessel is on 3 mud bank and probably will be pumped out and hoated.

Great Demand For Sailing Graft In
 Fishing Industry

St. John, N. B., March 15-In an eff fort to supply the deficiency in the number of vessels needed in the coast al and fish carrying trade of this col ony. agents from leading New Found land fsh-trading concerns have been sent to various seaports in Canada and the United States to purchase sail ing vessels In the course of the war most of the steamers which have cared for the island trade have been requistioned for transport ice break ing service in European waters.
 Tramp steamers, finding more 1u- crative employment elsewhere, have practically deserted New F'ound1and. This will necessitate the employment of sailing craft to carry the custom ary exports of salt fish to Mediter- ranean ports and bring back the large amount of salt required in the indus try.
 The agents will try to buy between 40 and 50 sailing vessels.

OUTLOOK FOR PEACHES
 NOT so POOR IN STATE

Speaking about peaches-that is, the fruit.
 George H.. Hale of Glastonbury will start tomorrow for the Hale orchards at Fort Valleyi Ga., to look at the or chards there, but he says, as to the orchards at Glastonbury, that he ex- poets no Elberts this year and not a. great many of the other varieties.
 That is, of course, a result of the bleak weather of February and the nights and mornings when the ther- mometer registered a good many de- grees below zero. It is hard for the peach tree to forget that it came from a fairly mild climate and the buds will not stand a temperature much be- low zero without meeting the fate of Jonah's gourd. It is MT. Hale's idea that the crop will be scant next sum- mer. The winter of 1914-15 was fairly mild and peaches were had at a low price.
 But hope is not dead yet. A re- porter talking with Charles B. Lyman, proprietor of the Lyman orchards at Middledeld, learned from him that he was fairly well satisfied with the out look. He said that the indications in his orchards pointed to two-thirds crop, which, he said, is better for the grower than full crop in year when everybody has a good crop. He said that it is difficult to tell at this time how many remain Enhurt, but he had reason to think that the trees on high ground are not greatly damaged and, if a two-thirds crop results, it will be better for the growers and better for the trees.
 MT. Lyman said that he had heard recently from Elijah Rogers of South fngtOn, owner of the Shuttle Meadow peach orchards, and MT. Rogers was fairly optimistic to the outlook. His orchards are on fairly high land and he thought that few of the buds had been killed by the cold. The con- senSus, therefore, is favorable to the lovers of peaches, which means every body. If the Ha1es find the Georgia orchards in good condition there will be a determined and concerted effort on the part of most folk hereabouts to survive the rest of the winter for the sake of the peaches to come later.

Industrial Revival
 Is Noted In France

Paris, March 15-OmciaI figures just given out by the Department of Labor Inspection show revival of industry and a decrease in the number of idle workmen in France. More than half of the industrial and commercial es- establishments of the country closed at the beginning of the war, when an average of twenty-four per cent. of the workmen were called to the col ors Forty-two per cent. were thrown out of employment by the closing or the establishments, leaving only thirty four per cent. continuing to earn their wages In about 5O,O0O establishments inspected, 100000 workmen were employed in time of peace. The fig lures fell to one-third of that number in August 1915 then increased in creased progressively to 100000 in January of this year, which is seventy seven per cent. of the normal. Tax ing into account the twenty-four per cent mobiIized, there are actually em- ployed now in French industries one per cent. more of workmen than be- fore the war.
 These figures would seem 1ncom- patibIe with the fact that many in dustries are still closed, but it is ex- plained that, though building indus tries and few others have less work since the war began, other industries have more.
 It cost the government 3,784,OOO francs to support idle workmen in Paris alone during the second half of Jnuary, 1915. In the second half of January, 1916, this allowance had fallen to 1,524,0OO francs. In some other cities the number of people out of employment has been reduced to ten per cent.
 Excepting among such employees as garment workers in Paris and kindred industries, all wages are higher, ac- cording to the official figures.

TAKING RIGHT VIEW OF WORK
Man Makes Serious Mistake In Becoml
Ing D~espondent and Thinking Of
Himself as a Slave.

In commenting on a recent Once.
Over, concerning the blessing 1t should
be to be able to work and to have
work to do, a mar writes as follows:
THE principle is good. Work is q
blessing to humanity, IL the toiler
would but reap the fruits of his toll.
But, in this era of maladjusted econ.
omic conditions, the workers life, with
Its slave status, leaves much to be
desired. Am / right?"
From n viewpoint, yes; from an.
other, no.
The working conditions of laborers
might be more ideal, It's true, but you
cannot expect too great an improve
ment within a short time.
Are they not improving each year?
Are not working hours becoming
shorter and pay larger for those who
make the necessary effort to perfect
themselves along their certain line?
II q man is unwilling to give the
time, study and effort to make himself
more valuable to his employer, should
he hope to have his wages advanced
The workaday world is far removed
from slavery.
When a man begins to think of him
self as a slave he is bringing about
condition within himself which has
tendency to place his efforts on the
