Ani increase of customs and excise dnl,- ies aniounting to more than 147 pci' cent on raw sugar, 25 per cent iii case of excise on spirits, 50 per cent in the case of excise on tobacco, and a number af what are called "coac- qiieiitlal cl\aiigcs"’ in thc dutics on other coninioditles into wlioso coin- posltion they enter, were pi'opoe=.cd by the iniiiislcr oi' iinaiicc. lu :i brief but coiiiprclieiisivc pri-sciitatioii the minister outlined the financial position in which thc country now finds itself as ii result oi` the .out- break of war, aint acqiiaintcd thc House with the inoasures with which the Governmeiit hopes to mect thc new conditions.

SUIAIARY 0F TIIE SITUATION
is estimated these war taxes will realize an additional revenue of about $7,000,000 during the remainder of the present fiscal year.
The Belgians, as arranged, with?
drew from Brussels and took up their headquarters in Antwerp, prepara- tory to the great battle between the Allies and t.lie Germans. Tho Allies in great force, with the iirltish in the center of the Frencli on each flank are advancing in a line 100 miles long against the Germans.
Germany is indignant at the ad-
vent of Japan in the war, and the Berlin press say, when the war is finished “Germany shall call Japan to account." But by that time there will be no Germany to have a say ln the matter. Meantlnie Japan is quietly preparing for eventualitieu following the expiration of her ulti-- niatum on Sunday next.
Italy has sent a protest to Vienna
against Austria landing troops ami inarines at San Giovanni de Medua.
The gallant defenders of Liege are
enduring terrific hardships and are showing valiant courage. They have been subjected daily to fearful deton- ations and aio now quite deaf from the effects.
Austrians are using explosive bul-
ietri contrary to the Law of Nations. In an attempt to capture Veladlmir Volynski in which they were signaliy defeated by the ltiissiaiis, sizfferliig great loss, they had explosive bullets among tlioir aminunition.
'l‘lie Austrians have issued a final
call 'to ariini for all able bodied men between twenty and foi‘ty~four.
The British and l~`rencli Mediter-
ranean fleet, supported by the Mon- tenegrin batteries on Mount Lovclien, bonibarded tho Austrian fortifications at Cattavo, greatly damaging them.
