WAR STRIKES HOME.
The

been brought very_closely home

awfulness of war has

to Prince Rupert in the past
few days.

For months past there have
of
hundreds and thousands slain,

but, to us, they were not even
names, but merely numbers.

been almost daily reports

Today, the lists are anxious-
ly scanned, and there is a name
here and another there which
are than names.
They represent men we knew;
amid smiles

more mere
men who left us
and ringing cheers to do our
share of the fighting in the ti-
tanie struggle of right against
might, and who have now given
all they had to give, for their
King and country.

The memory of these men
will never die; the noble spirit
of sacrifice which prompted
them to go still lives; they are
not dead, but march the
deathless army.

THE LAST PONTOON.

The twelfth and last pon-
toon of the G. T. P. drydock
was launched last night short-
ly after midnight, in the pres-
ence of W. T. Donnelly, the de-
signer of the structure, and
under the direction of Superin-
tendent C. N. Crowell and J. H.
Pillsbury, the engineer’ in
charge.

There is still much work to
do before the dock will be ready
for business, but before many
weeks are over that part of the
harbor may resound with the
clang of steel and the tap-tap
of the rivetter.

What the drydock will mean
to Prince Rupert can only be
guessed at meantime, but there
is good reason for optimism,
Such a structure and equip-
ment were not placed where
they are for ornamental pur-
poses, and some day Prince
Rupert may wake up to find it-
self famous for more than fish.

WAR’S STRAIN.
The strain on the men in the
British shipyards is outlined in
‘ a letter by Edward M. Rigsby,

 

 

 

now serving on H. M. 8. Incon-

Ont., and published in the To-
ronto Globe.
These men are fighting the
Germans just as surely as are
the men in the trenches. They

are working harder and for
much longer periods than the
men on the firing line.
