Sir Robert Borden should hasten to have | that place created and choose as his | Minister of Munitions a man who can link up the eredit of the British Gov- {ernment or the credit of the Cana- dian banks with the industrial power of every Canadian factory that ean | produce war munitions. | of Munitions could secure war orders {for Canada and arrange credit for the mamrufacturers who would fill {these orders to such an extent that {Canada in the next twelve months {would be able to produce ten hun- dred milfion or twelve hundred mil- Hon dollars' worth of munitions that will otherwise be produced in the United States. Canada's failure to {finance and equip her jmdustries for {the production of war supplies is has- {tening the exhaustion of . British feredit. - Every dollar that is kept in {the British Empire is a source of {strength to Britain. Every dollar j that is sent out of the British Em- | pire is a source of weakness to Brit- jain. Capada would have had a Min- | ister of Munitions in the autumn of {1814 if Sir Robert Borden had not put his trust in a pale and ineffectual Shell Committee, Canada needs a Minister of Munitions to-day. - War Appropriations. ; ontreal Herald | At may be remarked, in passing, | | | 111915 mad | exceeding { military o ada during the year ending March provision for a sum not $150.000.000 for naval and perations in or beyond Can- 31st, 1916. | fesses to having borrowed $200,000,- { 000 for this purpose, and he now an- nounces a domestic loan of $50,000,- 000. cannot go without public discussion {and public affirmation, else where i may we arrive? j Dat forget the truth that Sir Wilfrid 1 | speeches to the people, that "You are the masters; I am the servant."

According to reliahle reports, the war has brought about a decided dim inution in the infome of the Kaiser. The tearing up of the little "scrap of paper" bas already cost him personal ly £5,000,000. Wilkelm, however, has still a respectable fortune left, it a recent calculation by Herr Martin, AD authérity on German rich people, is correct. Wilhelm was supposed tc be worth £7,000,000, but Herr Martir bas pointed out that a trifie of, roughly, £13,000,000, the valuation of the Kaiser's forest lands and farms, had béen overlooked brings up the Royal estate to a"total of £20,000,000 The Kaiser, however, .has been the richest monarch in the world This honor belongs to the Czar, who on his accession came into the Romanoff private estate, yielding about £2.006,000 a year. Beyond that, his salary amounts to another two millions, besides many profitable investments abroad. There are small expenses to be deducted, such as some £500,000 a year to Grand Dukes and Duchéesses, but everything is taken into account the Czar's income is far ahead of that of the Turkish Sultan with his million and a half, or our own King, who is the poorest in pelf and palaces of all the Old-World potentates. A State gram of £1,500,000, added to his other revenues, briags the Czar's in come up to £8,000,000 a year Aut of this he bas at least £5,000,000 a year for his private use King George receives £470,000 per annum from the State, but little more than a fourth of this goes into the privy purse. It would be naturally -impossible for our King to live in a manner befitting his rank on an in- come of. £129,000 or so, but there are miscellaneous revenues from in vested funds and other private sources which help to swell the privy purse, The Emperor of Austria, who is also King of Hungary, draws twg salaries amounting to £562,500 each. The King of Italy receives £750,000 a year, but has to make allowances to several members of the Royal Family out of it. King Alfonso has an allowance of £357,500, a sum which is his own to spend as he pleases Belgium's King receives about £175,000. never Soldiers' Uniforms. Experiments have been made in Europe to determine what colour in a soldier's uniform is the least con spicuous to an enemy. Of ten men, two were dressed in light grey uni- forms, two in dark grey,' two in green, two in dark blue, and two in scarlet. All were then ordered to march off, while a group of officers remained watching them. The first to disappear in the lands- cape was the light grey, and next, surprising as it may seem, the scar let. Then followed the dark grey, while the -dark ble amd green re- mained visible long after all the others had disappeared. Experimrents in firing at blue and red targets, made at the same time, proved that blue could be more easily seen at a distance than red. Correctly Written. Jobes was given a form to fill in, and under the heading "Age of father if living," he wrote "1035," while under the heading "Age of mother if living" he wrote 192." "Look here," exclaimed the clerk when Jobes submitted the form, "isn't there some mistake about this?" "No, sir," "was the sponse of the other. it is correct." "Do you mean to tell me," demand- ed the amazed clerk, "that your par- ents are 105 and 102 years old?" "I bain't got no parents," answer- ed Jobes; 'but they would have been that old if living." positive re- "Every bit of Contributory Negligence.

They are to be placed captur- ed in the vicinity of a descending air machine, and as soon as the airman | lands he is to rush at the unfortun- ate fowls and belabor them with a rod. until the hen or the pigeon believes on a large scale descending from the skies. All day long these terrified birds will strain their vision skyward and the remotest Speck in the vault of heaven will flutter the dovecotes jand hencoons as nothing else would. Another bird which adapts itself to { this military service is the common | crow. He has most extrordinary {eyes, which cnable him to see in { front of him and behind. An object | for which a man requires a telescope | iz easily discovered by the crow with-| { out any telescope. Crows are very { wise creatures, says the Cologne writ- | er, and once you catch your crow and train him, you will be surprised at the results when the enemy aero- { planes come along. Tobacco For The Soldiers. {Toronto Mail : | Should the soldiers at the front be | supplied with tobacco? The proper | answer to this question would seem { to be anothér one--Do they want it? | Some ladies who have worked zeal ously to furnish the men with com- forts believe that their philanthrepy should stop on this side of cigarettes, { for they hold that the tobacco habit {is a pernicious one, and that it would be doing an ill-service to the soldiers {to confirm them in it, or perhaps to : but temptation in their way. A minister of the Gospel here is said to have felt so | this point that he removed packages of cigarettes which the ladies of his | congregation had collected to be sent 'to nce with other little luxuries. It would be equally reasonable to | confiscate packages of tea on the | ground that tea-drinking is a bad ha- | bit, and tends to impair the complex- ion and shorten life. The point to { be borne in mind by those whose con- {Sciences are troubled at the thought | of soldiers smoking or playing cards {in the trenches is that the soldiers | are probably better judges of what they want than those who have re- mained at home. Their commanding | officers may be trusted net to permit | the men to indulge in any practices that will impair their military effi- | elency. | This is not a time when petty | seruples, however conscientious, i should govern our relations with one 'another, and particularly our | tions with our soldiers.

Pride, in so far as it is a virtue, is a determina- ition not to be turned aside from the {ends which a man thinks good, no | matter what outside pressure may be brought to bear upon him. {| There is pride in Condorcet, sen- |tenced. to the guillotine, spending his last. dais in writing a book on human progress. There is pride in those convictions under persecution. Such pride is the noblest form of courage; it shows that self-determination of the will®which is the essence of spiritual freedom. But such pride should have as its Complement a Just conception of what constitutes {human welfare, and as its correa- tive a respect for the freedom of oth- ers as absolute as the determination | 10 preserve freedom for ourselves. | Exactly the same kind of pride is {good In the life of a nation thinks {well of it, let us show our. national j pride by living without war, whatev- er temptations the other nation may {put in our wav to live according to | their ideals rather than according to jour owa. | Gallipoli--From a Brighter Angle. | [Collier's Weekly. { i he Germans characterize the Brit- {Ish campaign at the Dardanelles as a fiasco. and the British themselves jadmit that it is a failure, but it is a {mistake to base one's conclusions | merely upon the obvious fagts.
