Dies in Montreal

and founded line of steamers on
the Great Lakes. 1t was related
that the elder Beatty at one time
refused to join James j. Hill in a
syndicate which planned to con-
struct the ranscontinental line OF
which the son was destined to be-
come head.
Failure as Student
Beatty was failure as an early
student and did no make the grade
for college until he had been placed
under a private tutor. He used a
ruler on our heads" Beatty said
in later years, so we soon learned
to concentrate" He attended three
preparatory institutions before en-
tering Toronto University.
There he studied law, debated
and played football. He was too
light for the varsity but captained
the juniors" and made a reputa-
ton for smart play which caused
him to be consulted frequently by
the leaders of the senior team.
Called to the bar in June, 1901, he
Immediately turned to the railroad
system which he had heard his
father discuss in the family circle
while it still was a paper project.
HELPS Many Poor Boys
Beatty was one of the wealthiest
as we'll as one of the highest SAL
aried men in Canada and his adj
ministrative and financial talents
lied to his election to numerous
boards of directors. He served thus
the Bank of Montreal, The Royal
Trust Company, Postal Telegraph
and Gable, International Nickel,
Consolidated Mining and Smelling,
and the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste Marie Railroad.
He devoted much time and
money to organizations concerned
with reclamation of hayward boys
especially in Montreal, and by his
own effort helped many a poor
boy to get the schooling and train
ing needed for a fair start in life
He also was interested in education
and at one time had the distinc-
ton of being chancellor simultane-
ously Of McGill University, Mon
treal, and Queens University
Kingston.
He and Admiral Beatty, Eng
lands world war naval hero
strongly resembled each other. The
coincidence extended from physique
and facial likenesses to manner
isms and even to the rakish angle
at which they wore their hats.

WITHERING FIRE

FROM AN ADVANCED ALASKA
BASE, March 10. = Delayed -
Fifty caliber machine guns and 20
nm cannon today poured whitening
fire into Jap workers who were
building a fighter strip on Kiska
Island.
This strafing by two groups of
Lightning pilots highlighted the
day during which six heavy Liber-
ator ! bombers and six medium
Mitchells dropped hundreds of
heavy bombs on Kiska.
All Jap float planes were hiding
and the twelve bombers received
little anti aircraft fire American
Lightnings, however, dared STRAIT
ing to bomb the nearly completed
runway and had everything but the
book thrown up at them including
coastal defense gunfire
Lands at 100 Miles
Two Lightnings had damaged
landing gear and one of the planes
was smashed The pilot made a
forced landing and lived, although
the estimated speed of his landing
was 100 miles an hour.
The fighter strip which the jap
were working on even during the
attack was made by the tenacious,
ant-like Japs, working day and
night painstakingly removing gra-
vel from the mountains and trans
porting it by handcart over mar
low gauge rails.

Public Building
Carrier To Paw
Visit To Toxic

Retail stores, theaterS, neWspa-
per boys, post Offices, and a multi
tude Of other War Stamp selling
sources will cooperate during July
in great national campaign to
build and equip mighty Mystery
Aircraft Carrier, Shangri-La, to
bomb Tokyo again.
The Treasury Departments goal
is: The purchase of 500 in War
Stamps by every American out of
their extra change
Bomb Tokyo with your extra
change. Every time you go to mar
ket, every time you buy something
at your favorite store, every time
you go to the movies, every time
you pay your newspaper boy, in
fact ever time someone returns
some change to you after you have
made purchase, take War
Stamps instead OF coins.
The flood of extra change from
the hands of 31,669,275 Ameri-
cars will be more than enough to
finance the Shanghai.
The idea of an aircraft carrier,
Shanghai, sprang from the peo-
pie, with the exception of the
wave of anger which swept Amer
lea after the Japanese attacked
Pearl Harbor the feeling of horror
which gripped Americans with the
disclosure of the news that the
Tokyo War Lords had executed
some of Doolittles flyers has no
parallel in American history.
In their memory and in answer
to the challenge of the japanese
saves, an aircraft carrier, deadly
and swift, will be constructed for
the job Of bringing American JUS
tice to Japan.
