"GERMANY WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT"

London, Yesterday.

THE DISCLOSURE OF THE ruthless torpedoing of the Dutch tanker Sliedrecht has caused deep indignation among the Dutch people, already aghast at the sink- ing of the Simon Bolivar, according to the Amsterdam correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph.”

Complete neutrality is still maintained by the Dutch press, but the man-in-the-street in the Netherlands realises there can be no doubt about German res- ponsibility.

EMPIRE'S SHARE IN

WAR EFFORT

Ottawa, Yesterday.

"Germany will not get away with it this time. There are survivors," Hollande told the correspondent grimly.

It is expected, that the Netherlands Government will demand compensa- tion from Germany. Reuter.

GERMANY

The extent to which Aus- RUNS INTO

tralia and Canada are throwing their resources into the Empire's war effort was revealed in two broad- casts in Ottawa last night.

Mr. J. G. Fairbairn, the Australian Air Minister, who is heading the Australian air mission to the talks here, said the people of Australia were united in determination to carry the war to a successful con- clusion.

Australia's expenditure in the first year of war would be £50,000,000,

In addition they had in training twice the number of men as in the

last war.

The air training plan would re- sult in the greatest air force of all time. Twenty thousand pilots would .be completely trained in Australia, and many thousands more in Canada.

Australia had also built up a con- siderable munitions industry.

The people of the British Isles would not be left to shoulder the whole burden of the war.

Why Do Women Dread

MIDDLE AGE

"I dread the next few years," says many a woman who has reached her forties.

The health upsets which occur during those trying years of wo- manhood between forty and fifty beiray themselves in many ways. One of the chief symptoms is a terrible depression. There is lack of self-confidence, with vague fears, extreme lassitude, severe backaches, headaches, and fits of dizziness.

The best help any woman of middle age can have is a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. These pills enrich the blood, nourish the starved and overwrought nerves, and by their strengthening influence on the whole system they enable a woman to pass through the trying years of middle age tranquilly and without suffering. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are equally good for men, as for women of all ages, who are the victims of any ailment due to an impoverished condition of the blood.

Start a course of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to-day; what they have done for others they can do for you; they are obtainable at all chemists.
