Probably a hundred were seriously injured in the explosion. The announcements follow: "At about 7 p'clock last night fire started at a ory in the east of London near the river, which was employed in refining explosives. For- tunately a few minuteg elapsed after the commencement of the fire before the explosion occurred, during which intérval many operati were able te escape frem the factory, *"Thé explosion appears to have in- volved practically all the explosive in the factory, which was itself com- pletely destroyed.| Fires were caused in neighboring wirehouses and fac- tories, one of the largest of which Was andmportant flowr mill. The effects of the explosion were felt for a great distance. Three rows of small houses in the immediate neigh- borhood were practically demolished and considerable damage was occas- ioned to other property." plosion, as it was experienced in the centre of London, was a roar. of short of gas had been iguited and consum- ed in ong burst of flame.

UCH has been written of the Dominion of Canagla's work in carrying out her part in the great world war. But in the telling of her ralss ing 371,695 to Nov. 1, 1916; of her building 422 munition factories in 16 months, where none existed before; of her producing $550,000,000 worth of shells in 27 months; of her carrying on all the regular things of life during this time of strife and change--in the telling of all this, sight has often Been lost of the noble and wonderful work "of Canada's army of feminine workers. The trammels of ancient tradition regarding women which so often found its expression in "For men must work and women must weep," has long been swept away. And through exigencies = arising out of wartime conditions, women of all the belligerent nations have proved, more effectively than by any politi- cal campaigns or other appeal, their right to equality in all things with the till-now ruling male. Just as the women of Belgium, France, England, and other countries quickly took up duties for the most part strange, so did the mothers and daughters and spinaters and widows of Canada an- swer to the call of country and lend readily their services in factory, of fice, hospital, munition works, and a | hundred other places. There are in Canada to-day many societies, social bodies, and other organizations bending their energies to the furthering of Canada's part in the war. However, as a great many of these are supplementary or con- | tributing te the major bodies, men- tion is made only of the chief organ- izations. Among these are the Im- perial Order Daughters of Empire, Women's Canadian Clubs, Woman's Emergency Corps, Woman's Iusti- tutes, Secour National, W. C. TU, Belgian Relief, Red Cross, Order of St. John, and Queen Mary's. Guild.

A Man Who Went Into the North- West in the Early Days. Bishop W. D. Reeve, Dominions pioneer clergy, Bishop of Toronto, recently celebrated the 25th ES one of the |= anniversary of his elevation to the |S= episcopate. Bishop Reeve's first real experience of Canada was gained in |&= the North. It commenced after he had bid farewell to his-home in Lin- colnshire, England, and with his ¥ bride of two weeks he Shtersesuadn --- his work in the wilds af the Macken. sie River district. That was in 1889 when he was in his 25th year, and bad bekind 'him a sound training ac quired at the Theological Training Church Missionary: Society College, London. Fert Garry, which is now Winnipeg, bad then a population of 200 people. Rev. Mr. Reeve passed through on their way to Fort Simpson, which was to be the centre of their labors for many years. The people there were scattered over a wide area; they were chiefly trap- pers and to/fulfill his mission among them the Bishop had to perform his cireuit on snow shoes or by sleigh in the winter time, and by boat or canoe in the summer. Naturally, in that wild country at that time he bad many thrilling experiences, and jin addition to being missiopary he had to act the part of physician to the sick. ARogether Bishop Reeve spent 38 years in the Mackenzie distriet, being at one time Archdeacon of Chi- pewyan, and later the first Bishop of Mackenzie River. During those years many changes took place in the babits of the people. The country passed from a wild state to one of civilization. In 1874 Bishop Reeve was ordained a priest. 'In 1891 the University of Manitoba honored him with the degree of Doctor of Divinity, and on November 29, the same year, he was created a bishop at Holy Trin- ity church, Winnipeg: It was only because of advancing years, and the strenuousness of the work in the North that Bishop Reeve sought a change, and in 1907 he moved to To- ronto to be assistant to the late Bi- shop Sweatman. and Mrs. |3 re fre pn Boys' Suits, sizes 30 to 34.

Now that Canada's new Governor- General has been formally installed in office, it remains to be determined what useful employment can be found for his illustrious predecessor. It has been rumored that he is tobe sent to Ireland, but whether this re- port is founded merely upon a sug- gestion lately made by the Earl of Dunraven it is dificult to say. This proposui, which was offered tenta- tively, was intended to meet the pre- sent difficulty in Ireland, which, broadly speaking, is twofold, involv. sufficient men to support the Allies, and, secondly, the desirability of find- ing them in Ireland, fer if Ireland does not play her part Lord Dunrav- en apprehends that "she is disgraced and politically damned for genera- tions." + Mr. Redmond has talked of Ire- land playing her part provided she gets Home Rule, but since he himself agrees that the coercion of a. consid- erable part of the North is out of the queition and part-shows ne in- clination to yield; since, moreover, partition of the country has been con- demned by himself as unthinkable, it is idle to discuss Home Rule on any of the plans hithertd proposed. | A further conference on the subject is in a possibility, but it is a possibility in which neither Lord Dunraven nor Mr. Redmond has much faith. therefore, Lord Dunraven, pro- poses to appeal to his countrymen a at greatly "The Irish" people.
