The tonnage of ves sels on the registry of shipping of the Dominion rose from 767,654 tons in 1867 to 1,2 3 tons in 1583, declined to x tons in 1906, aud thereafter an upward turn, being 896,965 tons on January Ist, 1914, and 1,215,021 tous on March 31, 1916. Politicians now pro pose that the industry revived by Government aid, bounty, or sub: sidy, the time being propitiois for the construction of ships There is no doub' about the propitiousness of the times; they were never more so. The ravages of the submarine have materially reduced the tonnage of all nations, neutral as well as Allied, while the commandeering of ships for transport purposes by the British Government has so depleted the supply for commercial uses us to create' a perplexing problem. Bhips 0° all kinds, steel ard wood, large and small, have never commanded such profitable prices, whether under sale or charter, as at this time.

The present display is at- thought, and even if his~communica- tions were privileged, as when he was called as a witness before a Con- gressional committee, he had not sought to say the pleasing, soporific thing, the thing that his superiors would naturally approve. He spoke of the defects of the American navy. He did not say that it could "lick creation." He told the truth as he saw it.

Early in the month of June, 1867, writes Sandham, in his "Montreal Past and Present," the attendance of the citizens was called to a public meeting, to be held for the purpose of considering the most appropriate manner in which to celebrate the in- auguration of the New Dominion. As usual, committees were appointed, money subscribed, and on Monday, July 1st, thé new National holiday was celebrated for the. first time, with all the aid which novelty and the finest of weather could give it. The city wore quite a festive aspect, the public buildings and principal Streets being finely decorated with flags. The ships in.the harbor, in- cluding H. M.S. Wolverine, which ar- rived in May, displayed a large amount of bunting. The, sunrise of the day was heralded by fhe noise of cannon and the morn was oc- cupied with a grand review on Logan's Farm, in Which the whole garrison, regulars, | and volunteers, took part. In afternoon a la- crosse match was played on the cricket ground. In the evening there was a display of fireworks on the side of the mountain for which the Corporation had voted $1,000. There was a large influx of visitors from the country, and the celebra- tion was pronounced to have been, on the whole, satisfactory. ce it hap- pened that the Amepican P nt was looking for \j such first-hand information, and 'gresently Sims was recalled and given charge of the gunmery of t American navy, Later on he way entrusted with the destroyer comma: d. He continued to speak out and criticize what he bolieved to be wrong, and he has continued ever since. Events have shown that Sims, as a rule, was right, that be was wedded to the havy, that he thought and said no- thing that had not the welfare of the American navy as its mainspring, 3." 4 RIGHT TO LEFT: Maxmitiian Fosren W.
