SHORT ENLISTMENTS
The common seuse way of attract
ing men iuto tile army and navy
would be to have short term enlist
rneuu, of course. All the experi
enced otficers of both branches of 1
the the service say so, and it is j
easy enough *o understand, why.
The average man does not want to
bind uimself to a contract to serve
a uumlier of years in any trade or
profession which is entirely new to
hun. it he likes it well enough, he
may be quite willing to stay post
the term of his crigiual enlistment,
but if he finds the life rrksome, he
does nor want to be bound to it
for several years. So long as this
country is not committeed to a
policy of general enlistment, it is
plain enough that the only way to
uttract young men to a reasonable
course of training is, manifestly, to
make the invitation satisfactory.
And if it should ever be decided to
make army enlistment compulsory,
it would be a great economical mis
take to keep a great body of young
men for years out of all chance to
establish themselves in their life's
work —Boston Daily Advertiser.

END OF TtUi 'PRINCESS PATS"
At 11:30 at a'ght the battalion
was relieved by the King's Royal
Rifle corps. Tlie relieving unit
helped in tho last sorrowful duty
oi burying those of their dead who
lay in the support and communicat
ing trenches. Those who had fal
len in the fire trenches needed no
grave, for tho obliteration of their
shelter had afforded a decent burial,
lie hiiiii the damaged trenches, by
the light of tho German flares, and
amid the unceasing rattle of mus
ketry, relievers and .relieved com
bined in the last service which one
soldier can render another. Bo
side the open graves, with heads
r.ucovered, ail that was left of the
regiment stood while Lieut. Niven,
holding the colore of Princess Pa
tricia, battered, bloody, but 6tlll
intact, tightly In his hand, recalled
all he could remember of the
Church of England Bervice for the
dead. Then, led by Lieut. Papineau
they marched back, 150 strong, to
•reserve trenches.
On May 13, the regiment was in
bivouac at the rear. The news ar
rived that the Rifle brigade, their
old and trusty comrades in arms,
was being desperately pressed.
Asked to go to tho relief, the Prin
cess Patricias formed a composite
battalion with the King's Royal
Rifle corps, and successfully made
the last exertion which was asked
of them at this period of the war.

SHU* OWNERS GROW WEALTHY
Christianja, Norway, — Norway's
mercan'»'« fleet has developed sur
prisingly since the beginning of the
war. livery available ship, includ
ing old sailing vecsels discarded
years ago, has been refitted and
mobilized for traffic, especially In
the North sea. High freight rates
have made this trade so profitable
that one or two successful trips
pay for the entire cost of tne ship,
and ship owners haye become vast
ly wealthy.
Even the most conservative per
sons li£ve yielded to the lure of
speculation in ship stocks and have
invested all th^ir s^are Bavlngs.
Stock companies are formed dally
acd even before the 6hip has been
delivered Into the possession of the
new comoany, shares havel been sold
and resold many times at increas
ing rates.
Tho newspapers are warning In
vestors against over-speculation, ex
plaining that ua soon as the war is
over scores of 6hips now tied up
will again bo available for traffic,
that the high freight rates will
droo and the over-capitalized ships
will bo unable to pay their present
high rate of Interest
