The cost required to replace clean up, straighten up and make ready for work again this machinery will be colossal. AXLE stroy. j They were great heavy pieces of steel which the Ger imans hoisted high over the machinery and then allowed to fall. Contact with only one such gentle woolly lamb was enougn tor any machine. It lay in fragments. The claim was that the steel in these plants was need- td by Germany for the making of guns. But even this British Columbia officials are setting this country an ll a. l n hi i has produced and is producing results. The launching of excellent example. So-called strike leaders, who are in a ship attracts no such attention now as it did when Ger many was sinking merchantmen faster than the combined tia,7 where they wil1 probably remain until the world for- reality Bolshevists, have been railroaded to the peniten- tf forts of the world's shipbuilders could produce them. If it did, the people would be proud of the present produc tion. The United States already has a great merchant ma rine. When completed, according to present plans it will include 2t!i vessels, aggregating 14,000,000 dead weight tons. . This represents new construction, in addition to the tonnage formerly under the .American flag and that bought from other nations. All this costs money. The total bill will be nearly $ 3,000,000,000. The most cheering thing about Chairman Hurley's report, however, is the revelation of how little actual loss their is likely to be. It appears that the board h now selling new ships in the open market for as much, and in some cases more than it cost to build them. This is surprising in view of the high cost of construction under war-time conditions. The older-vessels naturally will bring less, and the dumping of a large amount of tonnage on the market will naturally tend to force prices down all along the line. Still, the loss at worst will not be more than a few hundred millions. Th s may be set down to war expenses which the nation rather expected to assume for the sake of the safe ty given by a big merchant fleet. Or it may be set down to the investment for the sake of future trade and indus rial expansion. In either event, Uncle Sam, despite the admitted blunders and failures of this vast enterprise, emerges with .a pretty good record.

Xaft, ex-president of the U'Hted Slates, George W. Wickersham, formerly United States attorney gonoral, A. Lawrence Lowell, president of Harvard University, and Henry W. Taft, of the New York bar. How would it do for those who want to live in an I. W. W. republic to emigrate to Mexico? THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS THE LONG ROAD Life's road is long and dreary, howe'er we try to grin; and man grows faint and weary, before he sees the inn; the inn where ends his questing, and where his endless resting and dreamless sleep begin. All cheerily he gam bols through youth's bright golden day; but soon he finds brambles beset the stony way; and though he sings and whistles his feet are full of thistles, and they are there to stay. It seems to me a wonder that mortals are so brave; while they are beaten under they sing a gladsome stave; through troubles they go prancing, on sorrow's lid they're dancing, they fox-trot to the grave. Alone, man may be gloomy, and full of fantods dire, when in his rock cr roomy, before the evening fire; but when he meet his fellows he thakt-s the blue and yellows, and paws a glad some lyre. The road is long and hilly, beset with 'grin and snare; and often life seems silly, but still we pilgrims hue with jest and laugh and sally to that inn in the valley, and our long slumbers there. Though tired of all endea vor, we won't admit we're sore; we'd whistle on forever, and then forever more; our own distress we're mocking when we are rondly knocking upon the tavern door.
