AMERICA'S WAR WASTE.

THE PITY OF IT.

A monthly letter of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank. Los Angeles, says:

Item by iram, the criminal ex travagance in carrying on America's part in the great war is gradually being unfolded. The government preached thrift to the public while its officials threw away the money patriotically raised by loyal people, as if it were the merest trash. A recent investigation developed the fact that there were purchased, by some one in authority, enough army saddles to give each horse in the cavalry service not less than six saddles.

Ayer over four years' service to the Admiralty, the famous Atlantic, turbine steamer Victorian, of the C.P.SO. fleet, has returned to Liver pool to sail again to Canada. The liner was commissioned August 14, 1914, to November 11, 1918, and the total milage covered was 221,102 ralles, the total coal consumption being 127,590 tons. The steamer left Liverpool August 28, 1914, and join- ed the 9th cruiser squadron, patrol- led the Canary Islands, sending or escorting suspicious ships to Gibraltar, also along the African coast to Sierra Leone. On the March 11, 1915, the Victorian returned to Liverpool, and later proceeded to join the 10th cruiser squadron in the North Sea for patrol work, at the end of 1917 convoyed thousands of troops and brought large quantities of frozen meat from America. During the whole period of service the Vic torian never had to fall out of the convoy, nor was any vessel torpedoed under her charge, which gives great credit to the commander.

On the first commission (23rd August, 1914) the steamer carried 4.7in. guns, these being subsequently substituted by 86in. guns, and two six poundera. The Victorian sails from Liverpool for Quebec on Friday, April 23, and takes the Imperial Press party to Canada rext July, where most of the provinces will be visited by the The perfumery section illustrates party.
