Taxes in Britain being what they are, and taxes in the United States being what they threaten to be, Mr. Rhodes’ Budget ls hardly like- ly to cause‘ a flight of capital from Canada. As Old Bill once put it, there's no, “better ’ole" to fly to.

Confusion between the signifi- cancc of a brigade and a division has misled our contemporary into an unfortunate error in its editor- ial comment on the Second Battle of Ypres. It states that the Second and Third Canadian Divisions were in the line at that time, and that the First Division was in reserve near Vlamertinghe. The fact is that the only Canadian troops who par- ticipated in the Ypres engagement of April, 1015, were the original veterans of the First Division. The Second and‘ Third Divisions had not then reached Flanders.

Today-St. George's Day-has a double claim upon the memory of British people. It is celebrated as the anniversary of England's pgfl- ron saint, and also of Shakespeare, who is believed to have been born April 23, 1504, and who certainly died on April 23, i810. The Boy Scouts, who also claim St. George as their patron saint, will com- memoratc the anniversary locally by a church parade tomorrow. In England two memorable events will mark today's significance-the an- nual service of the Order of St. Michael and St. George in St, Paul's Cathedral, and the opening of the Shakespeare Mgmbflfl Theatre at Strstford-on-Avou.
