With a becoming beam, in clipped Oxford syllables, Hore-Belisha said that he was well aware they were most anxious to see fighting at the front. Unfortunately there had been some unavoidable delay while plans were made for transportation, billeting, supplies.

Besides, they can buy fancy shirts and see the world.

Hampton Roads (Va.), which has not been a big coal port for years, took foal from Pocahontas mines at the rate of 433,066 tons a week (current Pocahontas weekly production: 6-to-700,000 tons a week). Hampton Roadsters worked days, nights and Sundays loading ship holds and bunkers. Pennsylvania...
