Kingston welcomed to-day most heartily the Australian cadets, the representatives of a people that are hound most closely to Canadians by. the ties of Empire and by a military system. that is unique. 1t is about five years since» Lord Kitchener, the present Minis.er of War in the Brit- ish Government, went to Australia and led in the establishment of the national service which has given to it a peculiar distinction. In Australia every male, in his youth, begins the training which, oc- cupying only a few hours per week, in time fits one most efficiently for national service. "In the war, and after its outbreak, thie 'colony was able with remarkable facility to sup- - ply the troops that were, outside of a little special organization, ready for the tasks of the hour; and in the Gallipoli Peninsula the Australians ~ have rendered to the Empire a ser- vice that can never be effaced from the memory. The position occupied by the Aus- ~ trallaps with regard to national ser- vice was not reached without some doubt and criticism. The military system seemed at first to be against the freedoa of the individual, but it was eventaally popular. It embo- _ died the desire of physically develop- ing the young men and equipping them for national defence, and the emergencies of the last year have amply demonstrated its usefulness.

They work long hours, twelve hours or more a day, on piece work where the price is: cut on the sweating level. They seem to have no trade 'union organization to protect . them. But they have had the temerity lately actually to ask | for better pay. The rate allowed for finishing off khaki trousers is 6 cents pef pair. They are asking for an | increase of one cent! The finishing off work on a pair of khaki trousers includes sewing on 11 buttons, and doing certain unnecessary hand stitching, Jas well as taking out all tacking threads left in during the ! machining operations, It is virtualr ly an 'hour's work; and the pay is-# centy, The girl slave at the end ot twelve hours toil will have 72 cents {due to her! But supposing a girl | to have exceptional skill, with eves | never tiring under the strain--gven the finishing of 16 pairs of Khaki the "| trousers per day will mean 4 cents less than a dollar for the day's slav- . and the work would have in- the | of | into | Trade | been | singularly free from political bitter- | hare system, for ! pressed a preference.

The Associated Boards of Trade | have, through a special committee, | anticipated the draft of public opin- | ion and procured, from the Bureau | of Municipal Research, a draft act I covering Municipal Government in {all its phases. This will engage | eventually the attention of the Asso- | ciated Boards of Trade, and it will certainly merit their serious consid- | eration. ? ' } The Bureau of Municipal Research maintained at considerable | pense by a number of businéss men {in Toronto. They have no object to serve but tne good of the city. They realize that the people's busi- ness needs special guidancé as much as the business of a private corpor- | ation, and they have with their own funds secured the services of experts { who can discuss any feature of muni- | cipal life, Thus the librarian of { this board has prepared the draft measure, setting forth all the forms of Municipal Government which have been tried, and a' model constitution based upon extended experiences with every form of Goverment. The Associated Board of Trade has' certainly been very fortunate, through a special committee, in get- ting into touch 'with an organisation that is at once so complete and com- petent to advise it upon the subject of Muhicipal Government, i 5 is EDITORIAL NOTES. The neutrality of Greece favors the Central powers very much. But will it pay The balancing of the accounts later on will trouble the Grecians very much. Sir Bdward Carson left the Im- perial Government too soon. He was not in a position to pass upon the merits of the Gallipoli campaign and to be working out alright. Sir James Whitney was somewhat in advance of his time when he pro- posed an anti-ireating measure. Bat he had the assurance. He said that it would be supported by the license victualers, This appeared at the time to be a joke, In London the people who fighting the anti.treating law the hardest are not the liquor sellérs, but the liquor driners, the lovers of the booze.

But this little fly {just stayed in the house and flew | about as free as could be. This was | quite a change as, all summer, he {and the other flies had been chased jand swatted and several times ha { hag mearly lost his life on one of ! those nasty fly papers, For a while he was very happy "pd | lew about and sung to himself hut {soon be grew very lonesome and he would have been very glad to even Tun a race with that old fly swatter. He had po one to talk to and none of the family paid any attention to him and he did wish he had some of his old friends to play with. One day, as he was flying around, he flew, by mistake, into a bottle 3 that was standing on the window sii. Of course the fly didn't know just what it was but it had some- thing very sweet in it and this fiy was very fond of sweet things, When the fly tried to crawl out he found it so slippery that he couldn't get anywhere near the op. ening and would keep falling down again to the bottom ef the bottle. At Inst he settled down in ome corner and went fast asleep: Now Pussy thought that the win- dow sill was a nice 'warm place for ber afternoon nap sd she jumped up and prepared to enjoy. herself. She hit the boftle and it rolled onto the flocr and broke into.many pieces. "Hurrah, hurrah," exclaimed the fly as he crawled out of the pieces; "I guess 1'd rather be free even if alone." Then he found a nice warm crack and decided to settle down for the winter and dream of the good times next summer, "Low Cost of tn Menu for Saturday BREAKFAST Bananas Apple Omel it. | et Toas Coffee LUNCHEON { Mexican Hean Soup | Creamed Potatoes | Sponge Cake Coffee | Sanlloped Potatoes Curried Cauliflower Watercress a Radish Salad Peach Cottage Mudding BREAKFAST Apple Omelet--Peel, core and slice two apples, and steam them five minutes.
