The Anglo-French loan became a reality very quickly when the bor- rowers agreed to pay a commission to the underwriters for their service. | The commission on a loan of from $600,000,000 to $800,000,000 will amount to a very handsome sum and will be another contribution to the bankers. Their money bags hive become plethoric from the gains of this war. The first proposition was a loan without collateral security and with- out a commission. It was not very in- viting. The American financiers are out to scalp every one they can, and they are the readier to act when the emergency is the greater. They took in our Finance Minister and treated him as they do all the lambs that fall into their hands. They shore him of all his wool. He had to pay for the floating of his loan of $57,000,000 and the commission am- counted to a princely sum. It was not to be expected that the Anglo-French contingent would es ¢gpe a similar experience ,and in the interest of our Finance Minister the necessary shearing has been perform- ed. ------ Mr. Rowell addressed an audience, patriotically, at Sturgeon Falls in French, and the London Free Press sees in this the work of a politician possessed. Sir Robert Borden ad- dressed a meeting at Montreal in French, and the Conservative papers see In this the work of a patriot. It all depends on who is who. A WASTE OF TIME. : A special commission in New York findsethat during the schooA year the public schools have been open 'only one hundred and ninety days. "For the remaining one hun- dred and seventy days," says the re- *, port "the children were without pro- 'fitable occupation. During the year the children were under school instruction. but nine hundred and fifty hours, or one-tenth of the en- tire time. This record may be al- lowable for village life or the coun- tryside, but jt does not belong to the teeming, distracting life of a me- tropolis whose perils and tempta- tions beset the child at every turn. That vital thing called character can- not be shaped or determined in one- ninth of the child's school life." ~The commission emphatically con- demus the wasie of time in excefisive and unnécessary holidays, and school boards seem to be easily moved to- ~ Wards them on the initiation of any- - one.' "The s¢hool term is short en- ough if all of the time within it be fully occupied, and the 'course can be cut in Ontario. as well as in New York State in the elementary classes when all waste is avoided. In Win- nipeg a year or two ago it was dis- covered that the school term was be- coming shorter, with the result that the Winnipeg School Board protested 'against it, and brought about a change. On dit that Germany will return all the works of art which have been appropriated by the invading troops in Belgium and France. . Will the Crown Prince return the works of art 'which he stole from the private | "houses in France which he invaded? He ought to. : mmm ---- ; CHANGE AT THE FRONT. The local member for Kingston, Dr. Ross, has been promoted. in the service of the King. He has been made Assistant Medical Director for Canada, an office which becomes nec- | in consequence of the larger interest of Canada in the war. ~The First Division of the Cana HH fire 293) form has been provided, and any ....36.00 set out in red ink. 1 best ob piss | r | Tribune Bldg. |1any forms of policies as there are | | | the Second Division -has been made its equal in every way. So that a larger number of men must be looked {after medically, and those who do | this most. successfully must have the | largenyexperience Dr. Ross been on the firing line since he left the city As Commander of No. 1 | Field Ambulance he has been near- {est to the troops, passing in and out {of thé trenches. The Ambulance | Corps is composed of many Kingston- {ians who have rendered a splendid | service. | It may be that the new appoint- ment will separate Dr. Ross from his | corps, which will be regretted by his | men, but the larger field of useful | ness before any one is just what he | would be expected to enter on as | there was occasion for it. fy ACCIDENT INSURANCE. The Government has from time to {ime taken the steps necessary for | the protection of the public under | fire insurance policies and under life | Insurance polietes. In the insurance po.icies a has case of statutory variation from this form must be In the case of policies, iife insurance conditions $3.00 | protecting the. insured have by sta- $1 00 | tute been made part and parcel of 30 [every policy. | But the Government has been strangely neglectful of the interest of the insured under accident polic- les. Indeed, there has been no sup- St | ervision as to thd style of policy al- lowed to be issued. There are as companies doing business. In fact, all companies issue more than one form of policy. The Whig suggests the advisability of legislation that would make it compulsory for ev ery accident Insurance company to have its form of policy approved by the authorities before issue. A rail- road company cannot issue a bill of lading until its reasonableness has been assured by its being approved by "the board of raiiway commis giopers. In liKe manner an accident insurance company should not be al- lowed to issue a policy until its reas- onableness has been in like manner determined. As an illustration of the neces- sily of some such legisiation 'the reader is referred to the following paragraph, taken from an accident insurance policy now in force. Wa defy any ordinery layman 0 intes pret the same. 'ihe rollowing is t varagraph: i "If the Assured suffers total dis- ability and if, during the period of said total disability and within two hundred weeks from the date of the accident, the Assured suffers, as the direct result of the bedily injuries causing the said total disability, and independently and exclusively of all fined in parts 1 and 2 of Section V; | or, if within ninety days from the! date of the accident, irrespective of! total disability, the Assured suffers] in like manner one of the said in-| juries--the Assured may e.ect to re-| ceive the amount of indemnity set] opposite said injury in the said part 1 or 2, together with the weekly in-| demnity 'for the period between the) date of the accident and the date that the Assured suffers the injury,| defined in the said part 1 or 2, in| lieu of all other indemnity under this policy excep Surgeon's Fees and -Hespital Charges to which he! may be entitled; providedv¥Na¥ Writ-| ten notice of his election is given to] the Company at its Head, Office for! Canada, within thirty days from the! date that the Assured suffers any in-| Jury defined in part 1 of Section V| and within ten days from the date] that the Assured suffers injury de- fined in part 2 of Section V." We would suggest that the com-| pany issuing this policy offer a prize; for the Interpretation that comes | nearest to the company's intention, | EDITORIAL NOTES. Sir Sam Hughes, when spoken to a second time about recruiting, says the enlistments exceeded the and therefor, but they would goon. 'Teo what extent? The matter should be settled at once.

Apparently To- ronto just now presents an object les- son of how a great city should not be recommended by the Minister of Mi- litia, His idea-is to improve the morale of the troops, and this is quite commendable. But is it good for the discipline of the men? ---- If election materialize, . about half the population of Prince Edward Island would be appointed to public offices which carry with them salaries running from $2.500 per annum to $50,000.

Canadian Courier Rumor-has it that several officials of the Dominion Government draw-| ing salaries from $2,500 to $4,000 a} year have been sent to the front to earn a second salary of $3,000 to $4,- 000, This is surely unfair. Why! should one colonél be worth $7,000 a year to the Government, and another} colonel, equally capable, but not af civil servant, be worth only $4.0007?] No civil servant should lose any-| thing by going to the front; neither should he gain anything That is the rule adopted by the. Toronto City Council, and it is excellent. These double salaries for cjvil servants should be cancelled. Soriety Bramd A We Believe We Have tc AP 1 \ * Sleepytime Tales THE THIEVING CROW. Once upon a time Tom and Dick had been fishing, but had not caught anything and were feeling very bad- ly. Tom walked along and happened to look up into some tall trees.. All at once he yelled to Dick: "I see a crow's nest and I'm going to climb up and see if there is a little crow there." So he lay down his pole and soon was at the top of the tree and theres in the nest, he saw the smallest and blackest crow he had ever seen. The boys took the baby bird home and made a nest for it in an old bird cage, feeding it with warm bread and milk. After a few days it began to fly around the house and soon was tame enough to be allowed out of the cage most.of the time. It would hop on' the boys" shoulders and often, when their mother was sewing, would perch on the edge of her sewing basket and watch her with its small, black eyes. 2 One day she could not find her thimble and the next day her small scissors were missing. At first she of a - Menu for. Wednesday. BREAKFAST Sliced Red Smoked a. Fried Potatoes Toast Coffee LUNCHEON Beef Pile Toasted Crackers Tea 3 DINNER » Grape Conserve . BREAKFAST.
