HOISTING THE BED ENSIGN.

In the process of reconstruction now taking place in every branch of Industrial and commercial activity, the mercantile marine shares. Here everything is proceeding with remarkable smoothness, and without any of the friction displayed elsewhere between employers and employed. Our big liners, states 'he Shipping World, which, in pre-war days, were the pride of Br'taln and the emblem of British shipping enterprise the world over, are gradually returning to their peaceful trading routes, and, though subject to certain limitations in respect of carrying troops westward across the Atlantic, they are restored to their owners for the purpose of resuming forthwith the traffic in which they were engaged before war began. One such vessel is the White Star liner Olympic, which hoisted the Red Ensign at the Mersey port In February laßt, and a luncheon on board celebrating the event brought out si'mo interesting details of this vessel's contribution] to the victorious ending of the war. She has' to her credit not only the gallant rescue and timely service rendered to the sinking battleship Audacious, but also the sinking of a submarine; while the presumption is that a second submarine met her end by coming In collision with her. As a troopship she carried 25,000 men to Mudros, and In all her war service she took on board 201,000 passengers, and of this number 175,000 under the White Ensign. This is tbe record of the Olympic alone, but as Lieut.* Colonel Stayer, of the United States Army, observed, the White Star Line with its fleet has transported 500,000 of the 1,000,000 American troops who have passed through Liverpool, and of the 2,000,000 men who have gone to France This is a record of which Lieut.-Colonel Stayer says the Olympic and the White Star Line have great Cause to be proud, and We, on bur part feel that when normal conditions of travel return, It will be recounted with pride how this great liner and the vessels generally of the White Star Line contributed towards the Winning of the war. Captain Bertram Hayes, the able commander of the Olympic, deservedly merits the distinctions that have fallen to him In his war service, and the owners are likewise to be congratulated on all they have done In Placing their fleet and experience at the disposal of the Allies.
