of whom 100000 now are in the trenches.
This is the greatest effort made by any of

passes Germany's demonstration of force
by the fact that it is all lone from British
resources, under the handicap Of lack of
preparation.
In order to appreciate E%ngland's effort
and burden it's suffices to compare it with
our own, remembering that we surpass
England in both wealth and population.
Our war expenses are running about one
half above England's, but our war debt
is about one-third of England's and our
individual burden of taxation is about
one-half. The total of England's war
credits exceeds $4O,0 00, 900, 900, and is about
the same as her national debt, which dur
ing the war has increased twelvefold. At
the end of July our advances to allies
totaled Sc, 432, 900, 900, and nobody thought

OLD LAKE
BOATS BEING REBUILT

Detroit. Mich.-The splendid work
manship of shipbuilders Of half a CEN
fury today is making possible re-
construction Of craft Of those days.
One of these vessels. known SO years
ago as the passenger steamer Meteor,
Is being rebuilt into a coal carrier. It
was h Meteor that in 1865 rammed
the steamer Pewabic off Thunder Bay,
Lake Huron, and sank it with heavy
loss of life.
The Meteor continued in the passen-
ger service until 1872 when 1t was
seriously damaged by fire and found
cred in River Rouge. It remained there
an abandoned hulk for many years,
finally being raised and used to carry
coal for the Detroit water works. When
reconstructed the Meteor will carry
Goa between Detroit and Toledo and
be renamed the Nelson Bloom.
Another old vessel that the demand
for tonnage will bring to life again Is
the steamer Italia, 307 feet long. The
Italia floundered in a storm a number
of years ago. 1t was raised and lowed
to a Detroit river shipyard. Later it
was swept by fire. and has since been
the subject Of litigation. Reconstruct
ton work will be started as soon as
title to the hull Is cleared up.
There are several other similar cases
involving vessels regarded as worth re-
building, despite the fact that they took
their initial plunge into the water many
decades ago.

of the Italians" he said. 1.-The best
proof of this general statement is that

in Italy, nor do any other Americans
after they nave been here a few weeks.
We go away from our hotels. perhaps
for days at a time. leaving our doors
unlocked and all u personal belong
ings at the mercy Of the first conner.
and yet we never dream of losing any
thing. either through hotel servants or
transients.

longings and be sur hat nothing
will be disturbed. At that there may
