BRITAIN EMPLOYS

BELGIAN ARTISANS.

THE HAGUE, via London, Jun. 11.--

The British Government is advertis- ing i|1 the Belgian refugee camps and elsewhere by means of circulars for artisans in certain trades. iron, stccl and brass workers. gunsmitbs, rope makers, leather workers, hosiery mak- ers, shoe makers. instrument makers, glass workers und many others are called for.

The circular points out that only

those named are likely to find employ- ment in Great Britain. Proof of pro- .ficiency is demanded from applicants. The circular states that those who are accepted will be given a free voyage to England and will be furnished with free board until employment is found. Persons affected with contagious or infectious diseases need not apply.

The action of the British Govern-

ment commission in taking away the fit refugees and leaving the unfit to burden Holland is criticised adverse- ly in many quarters. It is argued that Holland has been willing' to offer asy- lum to the Belgian refugees and does not deserve the attitude shown.

NEARLY 3,500 BRITISH OFFICERS.

million and a half, so that next spring, when they add four millions more. they will still have between seven and eight millions of men. Now this enormous number of men refer to Germany alone, and do not include Austria. Austria of course, l am assuming. will be suiilclently engaged with Russia, and a good deal of Ger- man eifort will have to go in assisting in that direction. But there will be at all events an army of the Germans. according to this writer, of safely seven millions of men. Now what have -we got to do? The British Em- pire has got to have more men too. it is all very well to talk of our soldiers -fine soldiers they are, the greatest in the world, the British and French.‘ They have distinguished themselves in this war as no other military forces ever distinguished themselves in any war. But at the same time they have to have men, and men will have to be got from every point of the British Empire. in England they are doing their best to recruit man; Members of the British Government are addressing meetings and encouraging recruiting.

MUST SEND MEN.

And in Canada we will have to do the same thing. lf we have here any men that we can spare and that can go to the front they should go. if they come within the recognised age and physical requirements and can leave, they ought to go to the front, or at all-events to some other place where they may be required to render mili- tary service in the Empire. This is the proposition Iilay before you: You ought to encourage as much as possi- ble the young men to enlist for the front or wherever the Government may desire to send them in defence of the Empire. Thoso who go to the front-l am not speaking in regard to the island alone, but the whole of Canada-those who go to the front have in almost every instance wives, children, sisters, mothers or other relatives dependent upon them for support; and in order that they may be encouraged to enlist the Canadian Parliament has founded a fund called the Canadian Patriotic Fund. The King is its patron, our Governor- General is president oi' it. and there is a large body of eminent men con- nected with it in Ottawa and elsewhere throughout Canada. Branches have been formed in the various provinces, one of which is in the island, and to which contributions have been made and very appreciable sums paid. But l want to bring to your notice the im- portance of adding to this fund as much as possible, in order that those who go to the front may know that their dependents shall be provided for and that no injurious results shall ensue to their families by their going to the front. Now in Prince Edward island you are an agricultural com- munity. and it cannot be expected that a great many of you will enlist. Some /will; some have gone already. and no doubt others will follow. But in an agricultural country' like this other services can bc rendered. because it is~ essential that foodstuffs should be produced. You who cannot go to the front can materially aid the Empire by increasing your products of grain. etc.. so that they can be disposed of- proiitably to yourselves-and sent across the Atlantic to support the Allies. I had a letter the other day from a gentleman in Winnipeg and he told me that there was no dlfilculty in raising ten thousand men in the provinces of' Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Well now, those men will have dependents upon them. and we have a right to contribute, not necessarily to the sup- port of those who go from the island alone, but those who go from any part of Canada and are fighting the battles of the Empire. We are better cir- cumstanced than they are in the North West, where there is already depres- sion. lt is not so with ns here. We have had the most flourishing' year probably in the history of the pro- vince, aud it is so to a large extent in the neighbouring provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Fortun- stely, on account of the magnificent navy of Britain, the trade routes are free and all sorts of things can be sent to the other side to the aid of the empire. Very well, we have these things before us, and it is for us- knowing all the benefits which we enjoy, and knowing what would likely happen to us if the Prussians suc- ceeded, knowing from the newspapers how brutally Belgium and Northern France have been treated-it is for us to face thc situation. What was the proposition-as Mr Asquith designated it, the insulting proposition-that the Germans put to Great Britain? That they should stand aside and allow them to pass their troops through Bel- gium and attack France, undertaking not to exact any territory in France. but taking over French colonies in other parts of the world. The British Government refused at once. stating that Britain would not disgrace her- self by standing with her arms folded and seeing France stamped underfoot. They properly refused, and it was on that occasion that Mr Asqulth said he would rather see the Empire blotted off thc map of Europe than fall to perform its obligations io Belgium."

THE BRITISH NAVY(

His Lordship proceeded to speak on

the great importance to the Empire of the navy. An American, he stated. had recently written in one of the United States papers an article, in which he pointed out to the Americans that but for the existence of the British navy they (the Americans) would not now be enjoying the frec access of the seas as they were. since the American navy could not for a moment compete with the German fleet. He referred to the admirable heroism of the cap- tain of the "Formidable," who tele- graphcd to the nearby vessels to re- frain from rendering assistance lest thy should suffer the fate of the sunken best. in conclusion. the Chief Justice strongly urged the Jury to do all in their power to further the inter- ests of the Empire in every way possible. by encouraging recruiting among those who were able to go to the front. by contributing to the funds of the war and encouraging others to do so.

He then discharged the iury from

KILKEELL ls.

.STILL ,EAST

HALIFAX, Jan. 11.-Although leak-

ing badly. hopes are entertained of re- floatlng the coal steamer Kllkeel now hard and fast on Bald R-ook shoals near Canso. The vessel went ashore on Friday afternoon in a dense fog and attempts were made by small tugs on Saturday afternoon to ~pull the stranded ship off but the hawsers broke. 1

No water has entered the engine{

room of the Kilkeel. but the damage, to her hull has not yet been ascertain- ed. Another attempt to reiioat the ship was to be made yesterday at high tide, and C. Brister & Sons tug' Bridgewater sailed from Halifax on Saturday night for the scene of the wreck.

Nothing definite could be learned

last evening as to the condition of the Kilkeel. but it is thought that this is not precarious. The wind was northerly during the day and would favor the stranded vessel, only caus- ing a choppy sea. liad the wind been from the eastward there would have been some danger. It is likely that some of the coal will have to be un- leaded should a further attempt at refloating fail.

HALIFAX, Jim. 11.-The steamer

Bridgewater, owned by C. Brister & Son. sailed from Halifax on Saturday night for Canso. to endeavour to re- float the steamer Kilkeel. which went ashore on Bald Rock Shoal on Friday afternoon. An unsuccessful attempt to haul the Kllkeel into deep water was made on Saturday at high water. The tugs which were standing by hauled away at the 'Kllkeel, but the hawser broke before any headway could be made, and the attempt had to be abandoned. The ship is reported to be leaking considerably, but her engineroom is free from water, and if floated she will be brought lo llnlifnx by the Bridgewater.

Chairman of the American Com- mission in Belgium, to~day received from the Commission's representative in the_Belgian Province of Brabant, a pathetic account of the relief from im- minent starvation of the inmates of thc convent of the Soeurs Oblnlcs, near I-Ollvnill. wmprising 65 Nuns and 400 homeless cliildrcn.

For weeks the sisters had shcltcrcd

and fed the children, and lt was not until the supplies of the convent were almost exhausted that they sent an appeal to the Commission for help. Upon receipt of *the request for aid, food was immediately despatched to the convent, The delegate who accom- panied the food was received by the Mother Superior in s tattered habit. The Nuns greeted the American flag with tears in their eyes.

"Children in rags and with bare legs

crowded about asking il’ it were true that i`ood was coming," says thc re. port. "Many of the larger children, with pale and aged faces, showed plainly thc terrible experiences through which they had passed."

ARMY GIGANTIC TASK

PARIS. Dec. 22.-(Correspondence)

--What might be called 'the civilian administration of the' French army is probably the most gigantic business proposition the world has ever seen. it is as though all the railways of the United States with their 1,868,809 em-

iployees, all the steel and iron indus-

tries with their 260,762 employees and all the quarries, coal mines and metal mines with their 1,005,281 workers were all under the direction of one officer. and besides these. over a mil~ lion more employed in a half hundred other of the great corporations in Am- erica.

The French War Office, through its

civilian administration, must assemble transport and distribute food for near- ly 4,000,000 men. It must supply the men with transportation from one part of the fighting line to another, from the front to the interior and from the interior to the front in their per- iods of recuperation, lt must provide clothing, medical attendance, dentists and every variety of service necessary to keep a man in health.
