A BOOM IN SHIpBUILDING.

The recent conference of builders of
wooden ships at Washington, D. c., was
of marked interest to lumber dealers
generally. as no other industry has been
harder hit by the war, it is said, than
theirs. The proposition to build numer-
GUS wooden ships is said to come as ray
of sunlight in an otherwise gloomy sky.
At the office of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association in Chicago,
it was said that 60 wooden vessels are now
under construction on the Pacific Coast
Their average carrying capacity Is little
more than 1000 tons. Each vessel uses
an average of 1880, 900 feet of lumber in
its construction.
Thew were started to be ready as ium-
Der carriers .fter the war, when Europe
will need much for rebuilding: They can
be used, however, for miscellaneous
cargoes and can be tuilt in about TWO
months.
In British Columbia yards Is vessels,
only four of which are steel, are berg
built Canadian eastern yards are even
buster, it is said, though with smaller
craft, ranging from 700 to 1000 tons. AT
Yarmouth, N. S, alone there are 35 wood
en- vessels being built. To avoid delays
timber for them is being rushed by trains
running on passenger schedules.
Yards on the Great Lakes also are
busy. At Kenosha, Wis, schooners of
the 1870 type are being built. Seven
such craft were put in commission last
Summer Steam trawlers of the Atlantic
Coast type are being built at Mamtowoc,
Wis.
Shipbuilding in Canada under the
impetus of wars demands, has far out
stripped the United States, it is said,
Canadian yards now are said to have
orders for $500, 600, 600 worth of Graf. of
all kinds.

A NAUTIC FL "POME. !"

Amy Lowell, New England's most conspicu-
GUS vers lbre poet. thus embal ms the Lyma n
M Law disaster in the amber of her art:
She was four masted schooner.
Bound to Sicily from Pen obscot Bay,
With the foam bubbling at her cut water,
Her big sails out over the starboard taffrail
All drawing,
Bieached white in the SUI,
And blue at the turn below the gaff,
They slapped down on the water like Monday
washing.
Held her for moment with their spread,
Then soaked up the waves,
And. still ballooning,
Collapsed and sank,
The Lyman NJ Law
And her set sails swing in the undulating
water,
And the name on her stern is fantastic
With the waving of the sea.
After all, we believe Walt Whitman could
have done it as we'll, were he living, not even
emitting that homely touch of the big sails
"slapped down on the water like Monday
washing. Biddeford Journal.
What gets US is how Amy found out that
her big sails-all Of them?-were tout over

CURRENT COMMENT.

ONE who has real grounds for ex-
emption from army service is nc
subject for criticism. 1t is the Stacker
who has no legitimate reason, but who
seeks to evade his duty on technical
ity or by misrepresentation, who de-
serves the contempt of all patriotic
citizens, and the exemption board that
lets such slip through or shows favori-
tism of any sort, likewise, will de-
serve and get such contempt.
