NEW ENGLAND SCHOONERS
RIVALLING BEST DAYS OF
OLD SOOARE-RIGGERS
The war In Europe, which wrought
such dreadful havoc in so many other
directions, awakened these drowsy
ports and culled these waiting fleets
to hoist anchor. A few months anu
almost all the great five and six mas
ters have vanished from the coast.
Then the smaller schooners were
snapped for this golden offshore trade,
found a wonderful harvest because of
tho scarcity of domestic tonnage.
It was like a fairy-tale of commerce,
and somehow more wholesomely
gratifying than the fevered activity of
munition stocks in Wall Street with
their inflation and Jobbery. These fine
ships deserve to live, and those who
owned them had been steadfast In fair
weather and foul. For example, there
was the slx-mastor E. B. Winslow,
which had been carrying coal from
Norfolk to Portland; and she is one of
scores whose good fortune ha3 been
as dazzling, she was chartered for
Kio with 5,000 tons of coal beneath
her hatches and canie homo laden with
manganese ore after a voyage of seven
mornhs. Her owners received $180,000
in freight money, or considerably more
than the cost of building her, and $120,
000 of this was net profit to be dis
tributed as dividends.
It soon became commonplace Infor
mation to hear that a schooner had
paid for herself in one offshore voyage.
Those who preferred to 3ell instead of
charter also enjoyed a sort of Arabian
Nights come true. There was the re
tired skipper of Portland who reck
lessly bought an old vessel two years
ago for $17,000, a tremendous specu
lation which absorbed all ho had
thriftily tucked away In a lifetime at
sea, and strained his credit besides. In
two voyages this sturdy coaster put
$35,000 in his pocket, after which he
sold her for $100,000 and dared to In- j
dulge in the long-deferred luxury of
navigating his own cabin catboat. 1

CANADIAN
EFFICIENCY
IN WAR
During the two years following the
opening o t hostilities abroad, Can
adn raised an army of 340,260 men.
This number was recruited from j
among the 1,250,000 subjects, eligible
for service, out of a total population j
of about 8,075,000. It tilted these men
with the most modern equipment and ,
established six large training camps
In Ontario, alanitoba, Alberta, Brit- |
lsh Columbiu, and yuebec, where vol- ;
unteers have been and are being
rounded into shape. In July of this
year the various provinces had seal j
190,000 troops to the aid of the allies
and were drilling the remainder of its
forces.
The Canadian soldier receives the
highest wag s of any engaged in the
ptcsent contact. Privates are paid at
the rate of $1.10 a day. while the max
imum for a commanding officer
amounts to $25 a day. Thlrty-thrse
thousand casualties have occurred
among the 190,000 men sent overseas,
in addition to a large number of
maimed and permanently disabled
fighters who have been returned.
At the time of writing, Canada has
raised $400,000,000 for currying on the
war and is understood to be on the
verge of voting additional funds.
The country has contributed liberally
to relief funds; up to la3t April had
supplied 48,000 horses for its own and
England's cavalry and artillery, and
has sent nearly 10,000 physicians, sur
geons, and nurses to the front.
