NOTES AND COMMENTS The world stands aghast at the penalty penalty which Europe pays in human life for this unspeakable war. The price which it is paying in nippey, jantjl will continue to pay for pérhaps a century, century, is almost beyond calculation. Not since Napoleon's day have European European Government bonds been in such a panicky condition as they are today. today. England fixes by edict a minimum minimum of 65 for its consols, without which edict they , would fall much below'that below'that point. The old war loan is selling below par. French three per cent, rentes are quoted around 70, and this, like the quotation for British British consols, is largely artificial. Russian Russian bonds are even weaker than those of its allies. Gents, why pay more than $15 for a tailor made suit when we are giving such exceptional values at that price. Come in and see our samples. Fit guaranteed. Cleaning, pressing and repairing ladies' and gents suits a specialty. Jos. Jeffery & Son, Star House, Bowmanville. RAILWAY TIME TABLES FOR BOWMANVILLE. Grand Trunk Railway GOING EAST.

Kent, Agent, Post But the Teutonic Zweibund is in a much worse position financially than its enemies. German three per cents, have been selling in the fifties, while there is no buying whatever of Austrian Austrian bonds. Both countries are obliged obliged to finance thè war from domestic resources, and they are doing it with a volume of "shin-plasters" that portends portends a fearful reckoning later on. The Government of Germany compels the Bank of Germany to accept war loan notes as legal tender, and the bank actually uses such notes as a part of its reserve. These notes are not covered by a gold reserve, so that a vast pyramid of paper money is being erected without adequate gold or even silver protection behind it. bringing pressure to bear upon English Government to relax blockade have vanished." * the the LORD BRASSEY.

Such is not the case in Germany, Germany, where the note circulation exceeds exceeds metal reserves by hundreds of millions. Germany, being cut off from all trade with the outside world, has no means of recuperating with foreign commerce her dwindling exchequer. exchequer. She must live upon herself, and consequently is paying her own people for her war supplies and materials materials in paper money, the volume of which has already reached colossal proportions. Germans contend that when the war is over this will have proved an advantage to the German people since the Government will owe none but themselves. All debts will be local debts, and all payments will remain remain within the empire. But what if Germany loses and is taxed as France was taxed forty-five years ago to pay an enormous war indemnity ? Would Germany still be able to cancel such a foreign obligation* and at the same time retire the billions of paper money which is now in process of creation ? * BLOCKADE'S PINCH FELT. 80, Hobbling on Two Sticks, Full of Fiery Energy. _ That wonderful old man, Lord Bras- sey, who is now in his 80th year, has gone to the Dardanelles in his famous yacht Sunbeam, to assist in Red Cross work. His venture is all the more remarkable because • the veteran peer Bankruptcies Increase Uneasiness in Germany. A citizen of a neutral State who lately visited Germany in a further communication to the London Daily Chronicle dealing with the position of industry in Germany, says: "It would be quite wrong to imagine imagine that after the- blockade of German German ports all manufactories were stopped. Practically the whole of the machine industry, iron foundries and steel works are fully employed and doing excellent business. They do not suffer from any lack of raw material, as the whole of the ore reserves of Sweden are at their disposal. In addition addition to this, they can tap their own ores in the Diedenhofen and Saar districts districts and the ores of Luxemburg and Longwy in France. "So far as coal is concerned, the mines which used to compete successfully successfully in the markets of Scandinavia, Italy, France, Egypt,- Denmark and Russia with English coal have suffered suffered heavily. After the war broke out nearly all these mines came to a standstill, chiefly owing to a shortage shortage of labor, but there has been a gradual revival and the output now is about half the normal. "The textile industries of the empire empire have until July managed to keep up to something like their normal level. There, has been a decrease in exportation, but the home demand for textiles has been very good, owing to the total cessation of imports of foreign descriptions, but since August 1 the manufacture of all goods from cotton yarn has been prohibited in view of the probable declaration of cotton as contrabrand of war. "Since August 1 only orders for the army have been allowed to be executed, executed, but this will not give employment to one-tenth of the great body of textile textile operatives, and the greater part of the factories have been brought to a standstill. "One industry which has suffered acutely is the manufacturer of toys in and aroünd Nuremberg and Thuringia. Thuringia.

But hë is full of enthusiasm enthusiasm for the mission he has undertaken, undertaken, which will add a new and glorious glorious chapter to the history of the Sunbeam, Sunbeam, the old-fashioned three-masted yacht in which he has sailed the seven seas, and which is known in almost every quarter of the globe. Gallantry of Corp. Allen, of 10th Brigade, at Ypres. Dr. Benjamin Rand, in a letter to the London Times, claims that too little attention has been given to gallant gallant deeds of individual Canadian officers officers and men who fought at Ypres, qnd goes on to instance the case' of Lance-Corporal Allen, of the 10th Brigade. Corp. Allen, he says, was awarded the D.C.M. two months ago, but the brief official record of his deeds didn't do him justice, as the fol- j lowing report of one of his superior j officers will testify. j "I will give you some idea of what ; Allen did. Our machine guns were : all in one particular strip of trench, j In one hour or so all the machine j guns were out of action except one. j Allen was standing on, so you can | imagine what it was when I tell you that he was the only man • left in that part of the trench, and it had pro- 1 bably held about forty men. j "He fought at least 30 minutes 'on j his own.' He had to set his gun up j two or three times, and when it was ' finally smashed by a shell he w r ent ^ along the trench to the next gun and j did the same with that. When the last gun was smashed Allen banged away with his rifle until he was killed. He ! undoubtedly deserved the V.C." : *1* : Reading the Signs at the Front. A member of the Liverpool Scottish while home on leave, was asked whether whether the soldiers knew long beforehand beforehand when they were going to be called called upon to deliver an assault. "Well, they don't exactly tell us but we always always know," he* explained. "You see, if, a îiumbfllfVîf Army chaplains suddenly' suddenly' turn rip. we can always guess that something good and hard is going going to be asked of us shortly. And if they serve us with pudding for dinner dinner before we go into the trenches, why then we know for certain. What to Wear and How to Wear It. Blouses of voiles and crepes are trimmed with bullet buttons, while tiny buttons covered with organdy appear appear on organdy bodices. Blue, linen and white organdy are j combined in shirtwaists, as in home- spun linen . and eyelet embroidery. Little waists of handkerchief linen are successions of puffs, held together with bands of val. They are very quaint and of course every stitch is done by hand. Machine work simply won't do for dainty effects. A new idea in blouses is the full soft peasant shirt with a little overvest of linen. The vest has a rolling high collar, closes with three or four crochet crochet buttons and boasts two pockets about the size of postage stamps. The cuffs of the shirt are bound with flat linen edging braid, which also is used as a finish for the sleeveless vest. If one wants a complete gown one has but to make a skirt to match the wes- cut, and one is all there. Voila! 'Tis done. ASQUITH'S * ABILITY. Offered Sixteen Seats Before Stood for East Fife. He At the City of London School Premier Premier Asquith is best remembered as a quiet, studious boy who did not care for games, but preferred to spend his dinner hour reading the Times. It was the master of Balliol who remarked, remarked, "Asquith will get on, he is so direct." And after a brilliant career at that college, Mr. Asquith was called called to the bar in 1876, and became a Q.C. in 1890. Four years previously he had, entered Parliament as M.P. for East Fife, Scotland, which he has always represented since. It is a fact not generally known, by the way, that both Mr. Joseph Chamberlain and Mr. Gladstone were so impressed by Mr. Asquith's abilities abilities that he was offered 16 different seats before he finally accepted the invitation to stand for East Fife. Although in public life somewhat cold and austere, Mr. Asquith in private private life is the most genial of men. Like Mrs. Asquith, whom he married in 1894, his first wife having died three years previously, the Premier seeks relaxation in golf. He has two daughters--the elder of whom, Miss Violet Asquith, has just become engaged engaged to Mr. Maurice Bonham-Carter, Mr. Asquith's private secretary--and five sons, four of whom are serving their country in the great war. The largest room in the world is the room for improvement. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR!

We are having our fashion interests interests aroused by hats made entirely of petersham ribbon. This ribbon was used by our grandmothers for their sixteen-inch waist bands, and is as old-fashioned as hollyhocks and sweet william bloom. The little ribbons are crinkled and wrinkled and go round and round a-hat frame, one circle following following another. The finest color in the petersham ribbon is the pale champagne tint, which harmonizes beautifully with soldat blue, so, usually, a few flowers of that color are used as decoration. One hat of ribbon was made particularly particularly ravishing by the addition of roses of champagne colored velvet, veined with black silk. Flowers of that kind are frightfully expensive, but are effective trimming. Call at the mill or phone your order to No. 77. F. C.
