no Than 'terato titties l'SED ieee A despatch from New York "rv.--. Plans to replace with the products of American shipyards part of the ton- nage lost by the Cunard Line, an English company, in the German sab- marine campaign, were revealed here on Thursday by the official announce- ment that the company had placed contracts for the construction of six oeean-ttoine ships, ranging from 7.500 to 12,000 tons, with subsidiaries of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Two of the ships are to be built at the Fore River shipyards. near Boston, one at Sparrow's Point, near Baltimore, and three " the Union Iron Works in San‘ Francisco. _ Large Number Being Made in Brant- lord Plant. A deupatch from Brantford says: Cable enquiries have been sent to England to “certain if the prohibi- tion of imports of agricultural im- plements recently put into force by Great Britain to save tonnage will work against local manufacturers, who have been shipping large quanti- ties. To meet the demand in Great Britain for greater production with less need of men the Cockshutt Plow Company here has for some time past been making tractor plows. To date over 600 have been shipped to the Old Land, and there are orders on hand at the present time for 400 more. Of.. ficials of the company cannot see how on one hand the British Government will bar agricultural implements and yet order 2,000 tractors. as announced on Wednesday, to increase production. CONTRACTS FOR SIX A soldier not totally disabled will receive a nensiou based on the degree to which his ditsatrlement "eets his earning powers. Widows will receive half the sum to which their husbands were entitled if totally disabled. A disabled soldier requiring the services of an attendant ls allowed fees up to fl a week for such services. Widows will he granted special funds for the expenses of training to enable them to earn their own living. The Actuary’s report tseeornpnrtyintt the plan estimates the expense for the first year at 226,000,000, which there- after will decrease Innually. A despatch from Union says: An Order-in~Councii establishing a new pension plan for the British army was issued on Wednesday. Under it pri- vates totally disabled will receive a minimum of " shillings 6 pence week- ly. " this sum is insufBeient to en- able the soldier to live approximately up to his before-the-war standard he will be given an alternative pension based on his earnings previous to the war. No single pension. however, shall be in excess of 75 shillings weekly. The allowance for children in tr shil- lines for the first child mad a sum slightlv less for each subsequent child.

AUSTRALIA PROHIBI'I‘S IMPORT OF US. APPLES. Can Carry Twenty Torpedoes and Crew of Thirty- two-Men.

To avoid punish- ment for some trivial offence he escaped across the frontier. The man left Hamburg in February. There were then in the Vulcan dock-yard eight large submarines on the stocks. These latest submarines are nearly 850 feet long..and are armed like a small cruiser. They can take 20 tor- pedoes and a crew of 32. Gangs of 120 men are at work day and night on each submarine. The completion of a submarine requires three months. Be- sides the submarines small cruisers. are now building at the Vulcan dock/ yard of a new class, so-called the} Stadt class. These are 430 feet long.1 A despatch from New York styyic--- Suggesting a way to overcome the ob- jection of those who argue against "enttuurling alliances" with European nations, a writer in The New York Herald says: "If the United Mates does not wish to ally itself with any European nation in a war against Ger.. many why does she not ally herself with Cannda, a country as much American as she is? Here is little Canada (in population), big in coun- try, large in manlincss and courage, void of yellow streaks, who, with a population of about as much as the State of New York, at the first in- sult from Germany took a bulldog hold on her and has been worrying her ever since."

Y, HERALD NEW ll-BOA'IS 350 FEET LONG ONTARIO ARCHIVES TORONTO A despntch from Baltimore, Md., says: The Bethlehem Steel Company, at Sparrows’ Point, announced on Wednesday that it had received con- tracts for two cargo ships of 10,000 tons each from the Cunard Company. It was announced that these ships are the first to be built in this country for the Cunard Company in fifty years. Electric Sprinkling Wagons. The streets of one English city are watered entirely by electric sprinkling wagons. - Ready to Release 130,000 to Start the 1917 Crops. A despatch from Rome says: Proof of Italy's large military resources is afforded by the War Office's recent concession of 100,000 territorial Bee- ond line troops for agricultural labor in March and April, with 30,000 more between the axes of 36 and 44 if ne- cessary. The fact that 130,000 sol- diers, mainly agriculturiests, can be spared thus when an offensive is ex- pected in the Spring is especially sig- nificant, since besides these men the Austrian prisoners of war in Italy are also employed as farm laborers. BETHLEHEM STEEL co. TO BUILD CUNARDERS. The cause was, of course. the abun- dance of cypress, a wood that is much prized for coffin making, and it must be remembered that in China a coffin is a very acceptable present, especial- ly if made by your own family. Hun- dreds of pounds are often spent on a single coffin, and it is highly treasured by the person for whom it has been designed. To Western ideas, the present of a coffin by a son to a par- ent would be somewhat suggestive, and the daily sight of it at the house door would be decidedly annoying. In China it is otherwise; a coffin is one of the most valued of gifts. At the hamlet of Fen-shi-ling, thirteen miles from Ch'i-ehitutg Hsien, he an)”, we passed into Pa Haien dis- trict in which therport of Chungking is situated. No one ever was a cof- fin without impressed by the light, and here we saw them in the piece as well as made up. Every house had a eof.. fin or two lying under its eaves, some new, some old, and one's first surmise was that mortality in these parts must be great. A Chinese custom that seems parti- cularly strange to Occidental readers is described by Sir Alexander Hoaie in his account of a journey through the interior of China, "On the Trail of the Opium Poppy."

A despatch from London says: British casualties during February reached a total of I,248 omcere and 17,185 men. The February figures for British casualties show a total but little more than half that for Janu- ary, despite the fact that there has been considerable fitthting on the Somme front during the month. The February total of 18,428 compares with a total of 32,854 oMeqrs and men for January. ottieer casualties for February, however, were consider- ably greater than for the month pre- ceding, when they were 960, as com- pared with the put month'l 1,248.

As solid with Eng- land they certainly do not associate England’s Dmninions, and when Eng- lish people speak of Australia, Ctut- ada. and South Africa, they look po- litely interested, but they do not vie- ualise the commercial picture any more than the geographcal.
