Hateftil as the task may be, these devilrles must be burnt into the imagination of every matt and woman in our midst. We have tio right to glance at such tales of atroc- ity proved beyond cavil, and then, with a weak shudder, refuse 'to read to the end of the chapter. it is our bounden duty to call up before the eye of imagination the secnes of iiutcliery. rape and raplne which everywhere have marked the progress of the German arms. It may help us a little to remember thai, bitt for the British Fleet, these horrors might have ilcsecrated our own smil- ing homes. Hail the Hardies and tltc Maciioualds and thc Aiigells hail their way with our Navy. that corner where you sit at yottr ease tniglit have reeked with your childrt-n's blooil. ’l`liis is not the latiguage of exag- geration. t`losc your eyes and picture these things. is that the wail ot' a child you liear?

Ont ofthe hideous mass of severeii and blceiling limbs yott have reconstructed that curly-haired little prat- tlcr at your side. still alive and nit-rry, thank God! for, ot' course, you arc only dreaming; and thi- Fleet is in the .\'orih Sea. Hitt it's it nasty dream, isn‘t it?-and it isn`t ituite over yet. You heard that piercing shriek? it was a \\'untan's. The mother of those butcltered babies is ilcarer to you than you knew. and tio pen dare dwcll upon the tni-aning ot` that cry. A daughter, too. perhaps; but enough of the toni spectre. There is a look in your eyes that never was there before. You are only dream- ing. or else, though iieatli were your instant portion. you \voiild litirl yoursi-lt' upon the ilastard. Open your eyes now. but keep your sense of coiisuniiiig wrath. We slinll need it yet. The day ot' vengeance draws nigh. Yes, vt-tigeance; and if the parsons ilo not like the word they had better black it our ot' their Bibles. “‘\`engeance is Mine," saith the Lord," and in virtue of that mystic "i-o-partnersliip" with finite men of which we spoke just tiow. it is liis will to employ liiimiin instruments for its vindication. ln its inward and spiritual significance this mighty world conflict means just that.

At any motnent the cravcu bully of Potsdam may be

THE MONEY FOR THE WAR

liow Great Britain will meet the cost of the war is ai-

reaily being discussed by economists, says the Montreal Gazette, and tlte lessons of history are being advanced as rt basis for calculations as to the action the (‘hancellor of the Exclieqiier will luke. Tliere are dit`t`erenccs in conditions. liowt-ver, that may make ntost ot' the experi- ence of the past inapplicable for the present. in 18:34-Eiti, when befori- Great Britain eitti-red upon a Eiiropeiin wnr ni-ithi-r the population nor thi- wealth appruaclteil tho tigures ot' today. and then, also, war operations were i:ar» ricil hy smaller armies and at lower general cost than is now the rule. According to ligurcs iisi-ii by \\'. M. J. Williams, iti the British Review for Octolier. the t`ritiii-ati war increased thc British national di-bt by ,£:l9,000,0t)(l.. Gladstone, whose financial iiii-tis. all coiiceile to inivo been sound, anil who was then in iiilicc, stood out for inet-ting the expenses ot' the war out ot' taxation. and pcrsuadcii Parliament to double the war tax. making it is 2d in the pound. and to iucri-asc the duties on spirits. malt. and sugar. thc taxes on i-ot't`ee and tea bcing also later made heavier. Again in lS9il, when thi- South African \var broke out, costing the country in all some .L'2tl0.000,000. resort was hail to the old means. Again the inconic tax wus raised to ls :ld in the pound; again heavier itnposts were put on beer. spirits, tea. sugar and tniiriciro; a duty was put on corti and tioiir and an ex- port ciittrgc oi' a shilling a ton was levied on coal. (‘on- ditions cliangeil between tiie time ot' the close of the war in South Africa and the opening ot' that now going on. It was a Gladstone idea, favored by others, that the income tux should be reserved for war services, it being tairlv easv to collect and falling iipoti those who coulil bi-st bear the burden. it is tiow ttuestloncii. however, il' the old resource is avaliable as it used to be. Gladstoni-'s war figures of ls 2d in the pound is now the ordiitar_v cliarge, ami for large incomes thi-.re is a super-tax ut' tid, which brings the total up to ls 8d. or practically il por cent a somewhat high figure, that it is not thought

is one of the few things, however. that it is deemed can bc touched for the purpose of augmenting the national income. nnd with n little on drittk and tobacco, Mr. Williams is inclined to think lt will be what the Govern- ment will fall back upon. The main cost of thc war, how- ever, he holds, will have to be spread over many years, the money being borrowed for the present and the debt incri-ascii. The burilcn of the struggle will last for a long time.
