WAR SUMMARY IN BRIEF.

The desperate battle in France, along
a 100 mile front, still continues.
German counter attacks are less deter
mined and their massed charges are re-
sulting in fearful losses A greater num-
Der of Germans are surrendering.
The advantage thus far seems to be
with the Allies. The battle will probably
last several days longer before decision
is reached.
Fighting in the air is now almost en-
tirely on the German side OF the lines
Few German air planes venture over ter
ritory held by the Allies. Not so many
ships are being sunk by submarines as in
April.
The Turks are seeking separate peace
with Russia. There are signs that Austria
is tired of the war, but very little definite
news comes from the Eastern war zone
An order for draft in the United States
will soon be issued.

Leather and Shoes.

Dealings in leather are limited, owing
to the depressed condition of the boot and
shoe trade, which is dull on account of
moderate retail distribution. Many shoe
factories are shut down, and completely
out of the market for leather: There is
no improvement in hides and skins; in
fact, the entire shoe and leather industry,
aside from certain lines experiencing ac-
tivity in military requirements, shows no
indication of immediate betterment.-

SHIPBUILDING AT STANDPOINT

For some time, rumors have been afloat,
regarding the opening of the Colcord
Berry shipyard, which was in operation
here some fifty years ago, and it is now
an assured fact. |. c. Atkinson of Mil
ton, Mass, arrived May 9th to close the
deal whereby the shipbuilding corpora
ton becomes owners of the steamboat
wharf, and the stretch of beach, extend
ing south, to the property owned by the
Castine Alumni Association, about one
thousand feet in length. At this point
the river is over one mile in width, with
deep water, making it an ideal spot for
shipbuilding A spur track will be run
from the Bangor & Aroostook railroad to
the beach, and work will begin at once,
in getting the yard ready for business.
The corporation expects to build two
auxiliary vessels, one of 5000 tons, and the
other of 5000 tons, providing timbers of
large dimensions can be provided, if not
smaller vessels will be built.
1t will be known as the Standpoint
Ship Building Corporation. Mr.. Atkin-
son was accompanied by master builder,
