cnowltiis steers IN 'WAR-
lt was generally understood. ol
course, that the Crown in time of war had the right to take over what lands or buildings it considered necessary. The question was raised, however, in the Kingfs Bench of Great Britain. whether an owner who was thus dis- possessed had not a right to compen- sation. The matter came before thc Court by, a “pe'titlon of right,” for a declaration that they were lawfully entitled to proper compensation.
Mr. Justice Avory gave the follow-
ing judgment:-
He had come to the conclusion that
His Majesty. by the virtue of his war prerogative under statues. through his representatives, was, under the then existing circumstances, entitled to take possession of the land and pre- mises, and was still entitled to do so, without making compensation.
ln addition, the effect ot' the De-
fence of the Realm Act conferred on the competent Naval and Military eu- thorities durin_g 'the continuance oi the war absolute and unconditional power to take passession of land und buildings, and do any other uct in- ,terfering with private property, wholly for ‘tlie` public safety or the security of tlfe realm. This enact- ment repealtd any right of compensa- tion. if it existed in time of war, in earlier acts.
The .auppllants had. therefore, fall-
ed to establish any right in law, anti judgment must be for the Crown. Ho thought, however, that the suppliunts were entitled under the Royal Com~ mission of Inquiry appointed in March 1915, to apply for compensation in respect of any direct and substantial loss incurred, and damage sustained by reason of interference with their property and business under the cir- cumstances of the case.
THE PLEASURE OF YOUTH
A public school teacher once put
this question to her pupils:
Which would you rather have-
three bags with two apples in each
bag, or two bags with three apples'
in each bag?
Three bags with two apples in
each bag was the surprising answer given by one lad, while the rest of the class was struggling with the problem.
Why, Harry? Because there’d be one more bag to
bust.~N. Y. Times.
The Tampa publishes ,a proclama-
tion by the Sultan of Zanzibar: From Sayet Khallfet in Hareb. Sultan of ~Zanz'lbar, to the Sheik Saleuimlbn Kol- lfan, Governor of ‘Mpmb_az." The ‘pro- clamation begins:
We have thought good to wrlte'~to
you to commamtyou to remain faithful to tile great British aovernmni§tt.wlU1- out allowing 'ourself to be i' fl9I\Q_B.<l by the false promises-of the ,Ger- `mans. The 'British Govbmmeilt/‘has always been our true friend and the protector of our religoin. It is the greatest Mussulman Power _in _,the world and its respect for the' Mussul- mans of Islam has never been found wanting. . .
We therefore put you on our guard
against the lies of the Germans, and we recall to your memory their m_is~ deeds at the time of Seytl Mejed and Seyed Beyed Biargash. their atrocities, their profunatlons, their contempt for civil'uiid religious laws, when they w-‘nt so far as to enter our mosques wiiliout taking off their boots in order to humble the self-respect of the Mussulnians.
After reciting more German mis-
deeds the Sultan says: “All this prov- es that the German Government is brutal, uncivillzed, and savage, _and that it siieers at Mussulmans and de- spises them." .
A little lower down he says: "Be
persua`ded that the Germans are on the point ot' being crushed. Great Bri- tain, France, llussia"and Japan, with their millions of soldiers and their warships, will dissipate and drive forth the forces of wicked Germany. Be. then, firm in your friendship for iiritain, and let not ourself he shak- en _by the fact that the Turks are jjoiiiing iii the fray. 4
“We have learned from (!onstanti-
nople that the ’1‘urkish people is loatli to wage war on its friend, Britain. But the Germans have dragged Turk- ey into the war. wishing by those means toidestroy the Ottoman Empire and ravuge the holy places of Islam."
The Sultan describes as “a diaboli-
cal machination iiivented by intrig- uers sold to_ Germany" the rumor that the German Emperor lius been con- vcrtcd to lsluin~--i`oi' lic is “lSlam’s greatest eiiciny."

UNDERDRAINAGE EXPERIMENT.
-Professor W. R. Reek returned Fri- duy night from Wellington, where he had spent the week superintendlng the installation of the demoiistratlon field in underdralnage. A tleld of four acres was surveyed and six drains. each 500 feet in length, emptying into an open ditch on the road, were laid down. On Monday afternoon the field was surveyed and the trenches opened with the plough. On Tuesday morning two men were employed to dig the trenches and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday forenoon six men were employed. The tile was laid and the trenches filled with a team and plough, the work being completed at noon Friday. in addition to putting in 3,000 feet of tile an open ditch 40 rods long and sufficiently deep to carry thc water from the underdrains was made. The dirt taken out oi’ the ditch was placed on the routl and with- out doubt will be a great bcncilt to it as it makes a. better crown and will always have excellent surface drain- age. Professor W. J. Reid was us- sociiited with Professor Fteek while the work was in progress. The experi- incnt in this field will he watched wltli a_ great deal of interest, and the Guardian will report regularly when obiervations are taken.

LONDON, Oct. 15.- A despatch

"lt is no exaggeration to say that
there is practically a state of famine in Hungary at present, especially in Budapest, and the civil population is on the brink of starvation. Prices arc rising by leaps and bounds, so much that the last four weeks show increases ot’ 40 to 70 er cent., and even with this rise, one cannot' get certain necessities.
“’l‘he papers, even subsidized Gov-
ernment organs like Az Est, are op- enly accuscd the Government of gross neglect, and most disparing articles appear on the subject. Two nicatless days now, for only very well-to-do people can afford to have moat five times a. week. Butter ex- ists only in one's dreams, a kilogram coating six to seven shillings. Chick- ons are a. pound ($5) each. Bread is tlirce times as dear as in Germany, wlicre Hungarian ilour is used in making it. ill

ALL BARS IN ONTARIO
T0 CLOSE AT EIGHT
TORONTO, Oct. 14 .-Premier
l-lcurst last evening made the anxious ly awaited announcement regarding the decision of the Cabinet in the mat- ter of liquor restriction. Commencing November 1 and until the close of the war, all bars in the province will close at 8 p.m. instead of 11. as at present. The closing hours on Saturdays are unchanged. Social clubs and shops are not affected. Fourteen hundred hotels in the province will thus have their selling time curtailed by three hours.
Premier llearst, lu the course ot’ ii
statement tonight, declares that “the great necessity for economy and thrift. on the part of our people, and thc necessity for iltness, not only on thc part oi’ our soldiers, but on the part of our people generally, for the great struggle in which we are engulfed, will,. the Government feels sure, justi- fy the action taken. and it is confid- ent that even those who may suffer financially will be prepared to make the necessary .sacrifice for the general good. The action of the commission in providing for thc curly closing of the bars atid the hour fixed for closing meets with the approval of the Min- ister of Militia."
As might be expected, neither the
temperance advocates nor those iden- titled wltli the liquor interests are sat- isfled with thc new restrictions. The lelllverance spokesmen say that it is a spineless compromise, and does not go nearly far enough, and the liquor men declare that it will have serious results in closing up a _number of ho- tels, will work lnjury to a number of allied trades, and will affect many, WHO IIBVG large sums loaned on hotel property wlilcli is thus decreased in value.

Lies an island fuir to sec,
Kissed by the balmy summer winds,
And lapped by the gentle sea.
A garden of wealth and lovcliness,
Ol' peace and happy hours,
A paradise so sweet to see,
An isle of trees and Howers.
An isle where Nature is at its best With flowers bright with dew,
A place where u Prince might live
and rest
'Neath skies that are always blue.
A place where one might lic and while,
The hours of life away. I
A spot on earth which anyone
Could like-nay love for aye. ‘

To that beautiful-that myland,

EMPIRE DAY.
Dorothy Duchemln. `
To-day over 400,000,000 people,
bound by a common tie-homage to the same King.-are joining in chorus' to celebrate the greatest of all days in our national calendar, Empire Day.| Across the seas over which Britannia’ keeps her vigil; from every city und villago in the old Motlierland; across the great prairies and resounding through the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific; in lndia’s sunny clime, on the Ganges and Indus; in far-away Wei- Hai-Wel to the Fiji islands; from countless spots the wide world over comcs the sunm grand old strain, |
“God save dear old Britain, and' God suvo Britain's King." How diil'crent ure our ideals i`romI
those set before the German childreii by their teachers and professors. The writer of the instructions, an officer of high rank, calls upon the teachers of Germany in these wordsz-
“You thousands of teachers, to
whom millions of German children look up with eyes and hearts, teach Hate, unqucnchable Hate! You guar- dians of' the truth, feed this sacred ilatel" '
Thank God, we have better ideals
than this set before us, anti wo niust teach our lcssons as ardently and faitlifully us our enemies teach theirs.
We think to-day of that host of
noble men and women. whose names are wi'ltten in the hearts of the whole British race; Gordon, who died that the blacks of Sudan might be saved; Livingston, who gave his life to bring light to Darkest Africa; Florence Nightingale, the heroine nurse of the Crimea; Nelson, Capt. Scott, Lieut. Fitzgerald, and it host oi' others, who gave thcir_ lives that the name of Britain might be respected and rc- vered among all men. Think of those gallant. and unselflsli Britishers to-day, and remember the inscription on the rough wooden cross, marking tho rest- ing place of Capt. Oates in the Atlan- tic snows:
“To Seek, To Strive, To Find, und
not To Yield."
