WAR REUNION AT SHIPYARD
Veterans of Battle of Mons Had
Not Met Since Going Over

An affecting scene interrupted Flag
Day exercises at the Pusey & Jones
shfpyards, Gloucester. when two old
comrades-in-arms who were wounded in
the same battle unexpectedly came to-
gether in the forge shop.
Scout Joseph Cassels. one of the few
survivors of the famous Black Watch
Highland Regiment, and chief orator
of the day at Gloucester. suddenly came
upon John Haines at the forge.
Why, what are you doing here?'
Cassels asked.
Il lost an eye at Mons" replied
Haines. What became of you?'
II almost lost leg there" answered
Cassels.
The two fell in each others arms and
the eyes of the crowd were fastened for
the moment upon other things.
Cassels and Haines went over to
France in the first British expeditionary
force. but were eventually separated.
They did not meet again until yester-
day, although they probably fought in
the same battle time and again.
Haines went "over the top" seven
times and the last time lost his left
eye. He was then. like Cassels, in
valided out. CaSsels' right knee Is
braced and he walks with stick.

To further speed up the output Of
ships from the yards along the Dela-
ware. plans are being developed to or
ganize regular night shifts.
The two-shift p:an will keep the ship
wards operating to capacity night and
day. In most of the shipyards, Some
night work is now going on. but the
number of men employed at night ID
small.
So that the night workers may carry
on their work with the same speed az
the day men, extensive illuminating
systems are being installed In the wards.
Those systems are so arranged thet q
steady flood light will illuminate every
part of the ships where the men are
working. so that they may go forward
Just as fast as the daY men. -
