This is the case in practical ly every department where there is a revenue account, the heaviest de- opease of course being shown in the Customs receipts. Inlgnd revenue returns have also declined consid- grably. The' amount of duty col- lec on goods entered for con- sumption in October was $5,657,871 as compared with $9,108,657 for the corresponding month of the pre- vious year, a drop of more than three millions and a half in the month, It is understood that the November figures will show a de- cline nearly as great. In seven - months of the fiscal year the total duty collected fell from $67,761,983 in 1913 to $48,514,957, a decrease of approximately nineteen millions and a quarter.

A despatch from London says: The Times says, regarding the en- * listments of Jews in the British army: British Jewry is justifiably proud of the response made by its members to the call to arms. On * the outbreak of the war there were about 500 Jews in the regular army: To-day Rev. Michael Adler, Jewish Chaplain to the forces, is in posses: sion of the names of over five thou- , sand' of his flock, and many other "names are pouring in. No fewer than 450 Jews hold commissions in the army and Daxy. Thess. Sgures are very gratifying; as, allowing len the large number of Jews whose ; birth debarss them from ser-| i vige,_ the total quota which. Jewry 1 oud supply is about 3,200. J bi adler r goes to the front ith th the nd draft shortly. This is the roi in history that a Jewish lain secompanied, troops to » . which these declines are due is, of course, the war. The same factor 18 necessitating a heavy and increasing expenditure on lines not in contem- plation when the plans for the financial year were made and, the estimates computed. Expenditures.on things other than wat mobilizati equipment. and defence works, have been as far as possible curtailed, few, if any, new public works having been under- taken, but the situation is never- theless a difficult one and ome which Parliament when it meets early in the new year will have to AJ face. The Finance Minister's ar- rangement with the Bank of Eng- land for loan advances to be -later| comm covered by a permanent funded war loan, makes provision from time to time for the Dominion's war expen- diture, but the lower revenue af- fects the ability of the Government to carry on the ordinary programme of national development. enirie di 317 0 $28.
