London, June 2:i. There is an JHcriaso in the numb"'/ of

ladies taking up work to release men lor rccruiling. Some Australian and Xew Zealand women are acting as porters and doing li::ht pliysieal work. Air. Loii!.', in Ihe lio'nse of Commons, briefly outlined the scheme of compulsory local registration of men and women between 15 and 05 years of ago. The particulars asked include age, v. hat employment, and whether there is any special form < ,' labor that person* are willing to voi.::.:.rr for apart from that in which thev are at present engaged. The Local Covemmcnt Hoard will control the registration and there will be

penalties for non-compliance. The object of the Act is not to pome labor, but, to secure a complete anil general satisfactory organisation. The Government believe the resources of the

country to be sufficient if mobilised. Kynoelis Ltd., of Birmingham, have declared a dividend of 20 per cent. Mr. J Arthur Chamberlain, presiding at the .-I annual moetcing. said thev had placid ° at the (lovernment's disposal the whole!

of their trade secrets without remuneration. .Much of the criticism of the War Ofiicc came from pople without business training. There had been somo mistakes, 'but the work of the War Office •■ had, on the whole, been done splendidly. The supply of drink .should be drastically curtailed. The limitation of profits would result in a reduction, not an in crease, of the output. Jolur Urown and Co., Ltd., show a profit of I2J per cent. Lord Abereomvay, . . presiding at the annual meeting, said l that if munitions were short it was not the fault of the armament firms. The , Government had never encouraged them to do more, and sometimes they found themselves in advance of the (lovcni- ' ment's demands. A foolish agitation had , been engineered to limit armament' firms'

profits. If the business had been expropriated it would have been more costly. VICTORIA CROSS AWARDS. London, June 2!).
