Gov. Dinglcy plying with passengers
and freight TO Portland, Me, did not
sail, and the departure of the North
Star, running to St. John, n. b., and
intermediary points was delayed six
hours. Union leaders claimed that 9TH
ers of the nine steamships operated by
The corporation would be affected.
Corporation officials stated that ar
rangements were being made to main
tain service. The fact that officers and
men Of the Eastern Cos. fleet have
been enlisted in the United States Ma
val Reserve and that the steamers are
subject to draft by the navy depart
ment was introduced as new issue in
the situation today. Representatives of
the International Seamen's Union
stated that Calvin Austin. president
of the corporation, notified them that

board steamers listed by the naval au-

night that because of the naval re-

current year the national debt would
stand at between f3, SOC, 600, 900 and $780,
coo, and that the advances to Great Bri-
tains allies and dominions would be ap-
rroximately 1880 100000. Mr.. Bonar Law
asked whether the Entente would be able
to bear the burden of bringing the war to
a successful conclusion. He said he had
every confidence in the future and be-
lieved that the new loan of $3.50 900 O0U
would be a success.
Mr.. Bonar Law said the country had a
difficult road confronting it as a nation
and that it might still have greater sac
rifces to bear, but that there would be
no drawing back. Great Britain would
be able to stand the financial strain long
er than her enemies and it would not be
on that account that Great Britain would
be forced to make a disastrous peace
