1t is said that Augusta BARRIERS, ia
common with those elsewhere. are
having much difficulty in securing
help since the selective draft went
INTO effect. A few years ago there
We're plenty of helpers at s12 or SIS
per week but that today the most Il
them expect SIS as a minimum and a
per centage Of their earnings in ad.
dition. The proprrietors Of the shops
do not object so much at the high
wages as to the fact that II Is dfii-
cult to get the men at any price.
Some Of the shops are obliged to turn
away trade, it is said. as they are
so short handed for BARRIERS.

SOLDIER QUEEN WEPT when
RUMANIAN FORCES DISBANDED

PARIS, Oct. 1. - Queen Marie,
Rumania's heroic soldier queen
wept when the gallant Rumaniar
army was demobilized by order of
the Germans, but she declared that
it would not be for long and that
Rumania would fight again.
The disbanding of the army of
30O,0 900 soldiers was one of the stern
forced upon Rumania by
the terms of Germany's humiliating
and uncompromising peace treaty.
Emperor William of Germany gave
King Ferdinand of Rumania just
one month in which to strip his
army of all its power.

GRAND FLEET LIES.
RULER Of SEAS IN
FIR TIL OF FORTH
MILE AFTER MILE OF FIGHTING
SHIPS RIDE AT
ANCHOR

LONDON, Sept. 81. = There is
an elbow of road above the Firth
of Forth where can be seen the
grand fleet, the hammer-head of the
British navy.
Mile after mile of great and lit
tie fighting ships, their bugles
sound family across the water to
quiet streets ashore.
1t is four years since the battle
sluadrons slipped away to their war
station and the British navy became
suddenly the decisive and fixed
factor in an unstable world.
The supreme task of the navy
has been to make secure on all the
sea- of the world the transportation
of men, material and food. Be-
tween the date of the declaration
of war and June 80 last the needs
of the allies have involved the car
riage by sea of some 10000 900
men, 2,OOO,O 900 animals and about
10000, 600 tons OF naval and mill
tary stores, cargoes whose vastness
and diversity have never been on
templated nor foreseen. The sub
marine war intensified and waxed
to it's greatest violence, yet the
great work of supply and transpor-
tation went forward with an
interruption.
The navy, which in August, 1914,
had comprised warships and auxili-
airy vessels to a total of $500 900
displacement tons, had swelled by
June of this year to a sun of g.
500, 900; it's personnel had grown
from 100000 to nearly 100000.
