CANADA TO STOP MAKING
MUNITIONS FOR BRITISH
England Now Making Enough fr
Her Use-Plants to Turn Out
Ship Equipment.

OTTAWA, Ontario. August 22.-The
imperial munitions board announced to-
day that production of munitions in
Canada will be discontinued as no
longer necessary except in some lines,
which in part will be produced in les
sened quantities. Some of the plants
affected in consequence viii resume pre-
war activities in their regular lines
others will engage in production OF
equipment for ships.
Toward the close of 1916" the state
ment says, the capacity for producing
munitions in Great Britain had so in
creased that the minister of munitions
decided that it was unnecessary to con-
tlnue the production of munitions in the
United States for British account ex-
cept Tor few special lines. The pro-
duction in Canada, however, was con-
tinIed as before.
THE minister has now advised that it
Is unnecessary to continue production in
Canada. He has directed that certain
lines shall be produced in lessened guam
titles. while some lines are to be continued
as at present.
The effect of this will be to stop the
production of shells and components at
some plants which are now producing
sizes no longer required.
IN other plants where shells are made
of sizes of which reduced output only
is required. it will mean working during
the day only. thus stopping night work
In other plants however. where sustained
production is required operations will be
continued night well as day

cupying the camp before nightfal of
September j." said Col. l. W. Littell, in

struction, today. He said that the
work is going on satisfactorily and
that the reason 80 per cent will be
sent to the cantonment first is to avoid
tying up all the railroads of the coun-
try by putting all of the National
Army in camp at one time. We want
to use some of the transportation ia
cilities for moving supplies" he ex-
planned.

 Saw Millions of Mice.
 John Rourke, a transient, landed in town yesterday and was given employ ment as trucker at the transfer sta- tion. Last night he caused a commo- tion in the car used by the men as sleeping quarters and he had to be locked up for safe keeping. He saw mice by the millions hopping from every conceivable hiding place in the car and fearing that in his frenzied efforts to protect himself from the TO- dents he might do some harm, the police were called. Constables Ma rino and Downing brought the man to the lookup. Rourke insisted that the mice had followed him to the cell and he pleaded with the officers to remain with him that he might not be de- voured.
 The man was plainly suffering from delirium tremens and the officers called Dr. J. c. Tanner to give him
