Conspicuous among | the 'inventions of the day is the air | destroyer' which is being made in! Canada for the British Government. | As the United States astonished the | world by the speed with which it} produced submarines, large enough | to cross the ocean under their own power, so Canada has caused a dis-| tinct sensation by producing an air | destroyer which is the superior of| anything than has yet appeared for | its effectiveness. The remarkable | thing about this new airship is that/ the description 6f it appeared an an American paper, the New York Times, before it appeared in Toron- to where the ship has been built. This has made a deep impression. Surely Canada has been doing Her bit in many ways, and- through the air destroyer promises to excel her- self in the early future, CO-OPERATION WILL TELL. This week's cartoon in the Whig's supplement on Community Building points a moral of great significance. No man, however able or energetic he may be, can accomplish much in- dividually. He may labor without stint, but without the co-operation of his friends and neighbors and fel- lows, he will struggle in vain. Community Building is an expres- sive phrase. It means much. It means all that it' was intended to convey. The central thought is that every one with clear and decided views shall find an opportunity to act with others in the development of/ghe civic spirit, | A second official, {There is a demand, therefore, for coastal defenses of the latest type, of war ships, of submarines, of fortifi- cations and armament. The | retary of War has had difficulty in the past in getting through very moderate appropriations on account {of ships and munitions. Now any Sec- '| sum, no matter how large, may be voted. The amount has been vari ously put at $100,000,000 up te 1$500,000,000, The strained relations tro-Hungary, the embo.dened and | ambassadors and the growing influ- | ences of the war, has paved the wa) | for aggressive military movements. { armaments | Alfonso's prediction of {on a most colgssal scale, in prepara: | tion for the read Aramegeddon, is the | latest, | What is now going on is a mere | prelude to the greater furies that { will come later, when all the na- | tions, armed to the teeth, will fal the ex-| | upon each ether, and for J trpation of the races. TREATMENT O® OFFICIALS. Dr. Edwards, M.P., in a recent pa triotic address, commented adversely upon the discrimination which the Ottawa Government had shown be- { tween two officials who volunteered for active military service. One was | allowed to join his corps with the "blessing" of the Government and | with the assurance that he would en { Joy his double pay while at the front a veteran of the war in South Africa, was refused the | same favor and without any expla nation into' the change of policy. Po- litically same party. by the Government was not, there fore, understood. In Toronto, where the voice of the! | recruiting officer is heard to advan tage, certain members of the Police | Force have been enlisting for active military service. One would think that in a great city, where the claims | of dhe country upon the loyalty of frien is made so conspicuous, the re presentatives of public bodies would be exemplary in their conduct, the Police Commissioners have re- quired the enlisted men to resign from: the force and to forfeit their cigim upon the Pension Fund to which they have contributed. Which is an iniquity, to say the least of it, or an outrage which Controller Spence | has had occasion to magnify. Councils, Boards, and Govern ments of all kinds, should be above discriminations, and should so act that any employee who goes to the war will feel that he is being honor- ed in place of being dishonored for doing "so. The public official may see his way clear to sacrifice a part, r all, of his pay, but le ought not te humiliated by having to resign and lose any interest he may have in a pension fund. The action of the Federal Government in the case of the Penitentiary officials, and the ac- tion of .the Toronto Commission in the case of the police officials, is leaving a bad taste in the mouth. I Is not only unbecoming, but it is wholly uncalled for.

It was high time for such a decis ion. The appeals that have { made to private liberality to suppl {articles of clothing, field kitchens, machine guns and other necessaries of tne-s.

JOINT FINANCIAL COMMISSION | Of the .Allied 'Nations Has Reached New York. | New York, Sept. 11.--The joint Anglo-French financial commission of six members, deputed by Great! Britain and France to adjust the for- eign exchange situation here, reach- ed New York yesterday aboard the steamship Lapland from Liverpool. They were met at Quarantine by J. P. Morgan and H. P. Davidson, one of Mr. Morgan's partners, who escort- ed them to their headquarters here. This afternoon ghe commission will] meet a number of New York banks | ers in the library of Mr. Morgan's | home and enter upon the first of a| series of negotiations looking toward | the establishment of a big foreign credit loan -* 'A formal statement, issued on the commission's behalf, was the only ex- pression made by any member of the party for publication. This state- ment, issued at Quarantine; reads as follows: "The joint Anglo-French mission under the chairmanship of Lord Reading, which has been sent to the | United States in connection with the | question of the exchanges between New York, London and Paris, arriv- | 2d this morning by the Red Star steamer Lapland. | "The British delegates are the | light Honoroble Lord Reading of | Erleigh, G.C.C.,K.C.V.0. (the lord | chief justice of England), Sir Ed- ward Holden, Bart., Sir Henry Ba- | bington Smith, K.C.B., C.S.I., and Basil P. Blackett, C.B., of the British treasury. The French delegates are | Mons. Octave Homberg, representing the French treasury, and Mons. Er- nest Mallet, director of the Banque De France, " "The object of the visit of the mis- | sion is to consult with the American bankers and others as to the best | means to be adopted for regulating | the exchange hetween New York, | | London and Paris, in order that the | | commerce and industry of the three | | countries may suffer as little as pos- sible during the course of the war." | HOW BULGARIA STANDS.

Toronto "has heen called "Hog- town," because the peoplé Who live within its boundaries act and talk as if it were the hub of the universe, There is no city like Toronto in the estimation of those who live in it long enough to catch its ambitions and adopt its vernacular. J Yet Toronto exhibits only the life and loyalty of the man who is true to himself and his home interests, The people of Kingston could stand for any reproach from outsiders 80 long as they were trues to them- selves. The Community Builder does things. He is a Busy citizen. He is a leader in local affairs. Would that his ideals were the ideals of ev- ery one in Kingston, for then they would be united in' the public ser- vice, and the old city would come into possession of her own. ------e, A GREATED WAR LATER. . The opinion of King Alfonso, of Spain, who has not hitherto been re- garded as a prophet, with regard to the effects of the war, will find an -echo in the heart of. many pabicists. - They have been preaching peace, and they have, it is said, been misleading themselves with the idea that in its isolated condition the United States is safe. | to The country's standing army has been very small The . navy has been siliall also, but effective. - It Was necessary only for coast de- fense. Suddenly it has dawned on the republic, or ihe leaders in pub- lie life, that the United Statesisind 'defenseless position. 2 The menace of submarines, judg : 1sdhere any reason why childrén in Kingston should cease their school training at the third book? Théy cannot be equipped mentally for the battle of life. - A temperance wave is sweeping over Toronto. It will not be sur- prising it a demand be made for the closing of the bars at even an earlier hour thad in Kingston. Inspector Stuart has reported in detail upon sone requirements in the schools, and his report is surely not to be shelved and forgotten. What are the committees going to do about it? 'King Alfonso poses as a prophet. He predicts the time when the world ~--not-a large part of it, as at present ~--will be at war, and whefi every habitable land will be deluged with blood. A very comfortless predic- tion to meditate upon, to Say the least. . ------ There 'are one hundred and sev- enty-seven pupils schools who are not "book-minded." They must be helped through man- ual training and houséhold science, and the Scheol Board/is not doing anything towards improving these departments. 3 ------------------------. - A man who wants to change his will must do so in the presence of witnesses. Mrs, Cox's chauffeur must forever lament that she did not call some ome in when she decided to leave him a home and $500 a year. This was her intention, but her pen- work was not witnessed by any one. There are in our schools seventeen mental defectives. Wasting their time in the ordinary classes.
