It 1s {the intention of the company, how- | ever, to utilize the machinery as much | as possible in case no more munitions | Canadian { contracts should be received. Many {of the new lathes of standard design {which were bought will replace some tof the older ones in the locomotive { machine shop which have been in use for many years, There will of course ibe a few machines which are of use {only in the manufacture of shells, and these will either be sold or put in the | scrap heap. Already one hundred men been transferred from the munition work to the locomotive manufactur ing, As work in shell making be- | comes _slacker it is the intention of {the company to place as many of the leapable men as possible at work on locomotives With conseription im- pending there is very little likelihood {that there would be an unemployed iman, as the call for men will be {great when 100,000 more men are drafted into the army In the Tteconstruction period after {the war a great demand for locomo tives is expected Most of the Ca- nadian companies have been devoting {their works to the manufacture of ! munitions instead 'of locomotive {| The Canadian Locomotive Company i however, was the exception ,and both lines of endeavor have been going at {full blast. * | Therefore, even if the local som {pany is deprived of some work in'ilie | munitions. line, the increased manu- {facture of locomotives will more {than make up for it, and there is no danger of unemployment facing the imen of Kingston this winter, have Weather Notes.

London, Aug. 31.--The Daily Mait, in an editorial on President Wilson's reply to the Pope under the caption "We Cannot Take YouriWord--Pres- ident Wilson's Message to the Kais- er," says: "President Wilson's reply to the Pope's peace proposil has the spirit and point of view the world has learned during the past six months to look for in al his utter- anees on the war. The United States entered the struggle for the purpose of making the world safe for demo- cracy, and with the conviction that it never would be safe for democracy 80 long as an ambitious, intriguing, irresponsible Government held the German people in its grip, "President Wilson reiterates both his purpose and conviction, In a few courteous, but unmistakable words he shows that the Pope's suggestion for a general restoration of the status quo ante would enable Germany to repeat a few years hence her attempt to dominate the world and would involve the creation of a permanent hostile league to keep her in check." The Daily Chronicle declares that "the resoundimg proclamation which comes from the White House of the reality of right and the reality of wrong and of the impossibility of re- conciling them or shading them into one another by good-natured words might well be issued from the Vati- can, the ancient repostory of Chrstian verities, There is a righteous anger in every word of the American reply, which is net without precedent in the 'history of the Christian Chunch." After citing President Wilson's in- déetment of Germany's rulers, the Chronicle says: "This terrible judg- ment gains its eloquence from no fine phrasing, but solely from the foun- tains of noble Witt behind it, wrath which the head of a Christian Church might honorably covet." The Morning Post: '"The Presi- dent's reply to the Pope's note re- veals a man who has his eye fixed on the realities and his mind resolved unflinchingly on a great purpose. ""At the end of three years of un- speakable strain and anxiety, it is an inestimable service to the Allies to find such leadership as this--strong, clear-sighted, inflexible--inspiring new courage and faith and shaming the faint-hearted silence of the per- verse and disaffected." CANNOT EVADE DUTY BY CROSSING LINE Son of United States Con- gressman Will be Arrested in Canada. Madison, Wis., Aug. 31.--United States District Attorney A. OC. Wolfe announced this afterneon that he would swear out a warrant for the arrest of Byron Nelson, son of Congressman John M, Nelson, on the ground that the young man did not register under the selective draft Jaw.

WHIG, A YOUNG NEWBURGH SOL- DIER STRUCK BY A SHELL While on a Hill Helping to Change a Machine Gun Battery--He Was a Printer by Trade. Newburgh, Aug. 29.--The story of how Sergt. Roy Shorts, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Shorts, Newburgh, met death on the field of action in France has come to hand through let- ters from the chaplain and Pte. Har- old Fairbairn, also of Newburgh. Sergt. Shorts, another Sergeant, and a Captain went up a hill to superin- tend the changing of a machine gun battery when a shell landed directly on them Sergt. Shorts was killed instantly, being struck in the fore- head and body. The other sergeant fell fatally wounded, and died a few moments later. © The 'captain starred to go for, stretchers, but was picked off by thé ¥nemy, and died that night. Sergt. Shorts had a short but in- teresting career that might well be envied by any young man. Born May 2nd, 1895, of U. E. Loyalist de- scent, and educated in Newburgh Academy, he started the printing trade with the Trenton Courier, leav- ing them to go to the Belleville On- tario.. Then he took a course in lino- type operating in Toronto, finishing which he shortly after joined the 39th Battalion at Napanee under Capt. Travers, Later he went to Belle- ville, from which place he left for Overseas, He gained his sergeant's stripes while in England, and was one of eight out of 1,400 picked to attend the Lord Mayor's parade. He serv- ed as instructor on machine guns at Shorncliffe, and being refused per- mission to go to France, when asked to make a list of men from his squad fit for service in France, he placed his name at the head of the list, thus get- ting to the trenches but losing his stripes to do These he won back in action, and was to go to London for his commigsion in Aygust He was through-njost of the large battles, being wounded at the Somme, and going through Vimy Ridge un- scathed. He was. killed July 2nd and buried July 6th in Bully Chenay cemetery. Deceased was a comrade well liked, and 'is sadly missed. He had worked hard to secure his commission, which he missed by so short a margin of time. In the letter received by his parents after they had. been notified of his death, one of the last things he said was: "lI can't understand why the young men at home don't enlist." Memorial services were held on Sun- day, Aug. 12th, in the Newburgh Methodist Church, when the Rev. Mr. Farnsworth preached very impressive ly. \ LAST OF EARLY CLOSING Clerks Will Have to Stay 'n Stores Until Six O'clock.
