SATLSFACTORY FINANCES
The prosp"ei’ity'~of Canada, notwithstanding the
war, is.simply marvellous. The Wall St. _Tournal com- menting upon this commends the wise administration of the Government and especially the foresightand sagacity of the Minister of Finance, Mr. White. The latest report of Dominion revenue bears out this com- mcndation. According to our Ottawa correspondent the revenue for the current month will indicate a sub-
stantial increase, though to what extent has not beep divulged. It is now generally conceded that the es- timate of Mr. Whitc’s budget will be fully realized, and the finances have thus reached a stable basis. Another source of gratification is the restoration of a normal situation as regards exchange between the United States and Canada, also affecting beneficially the affairs of the Dominion. Theflotation of the $45,000,000 Canadian°loan in New York in August and the sale in New York of sterling bills drawn against shipments of Canadian wheat to Great Britain and Europe, have brought exchange on New York back practically to par. This is a marked improvement over the situation of three months ago, when the Am- erican dollar was worth morc than the Canadian dol- lar, and a premium of one-half to one per cent. in Can- adian money had to be paid for funds in New York. The loan, in addition to stabilizing exchange between Canada and the United States, helped sterling ex- change also by providing'Canada with funds which otherwise would have bcenobtained in London. In addition, it conserved the gold reserves of Canada and paved the way for the Anglo-French loan. Our Ot- tawa correspondcnt learns that the proceeds of the loan were not brought to Canada at once, but were withdrawn gradually so as to gradually reduce the ex- change. The Finance Department made over $36,000 in exchange in the transfer of the money.
_ O _ KEEP THE OLD FLAG FLYING
Lustily and heartily we unite in -singing “We’ll
never let thc old flag fall,” and, unthinkingly, \ve mean it, but \ve only mean that some one else is going to keep it from falling. We--have not yet fully realized what if is costing and what it is going to cost, to keep the old flag flying. \Vc have been told that it can be done only by every man doing his duty. That does not mean that every man must go to the front, not even that every eligible man of military age shall go to the front for, necessarily, there arc unbreakable bonds binding some men _lo their homes or to their business or the co\nitry’s business. lt docs mean, though, that every man who can possibly do so shall go, but it means more than that; it means that every man who stays at home shall also do his duty. So far _we have not done our duty in either direction. All.our eligible `men, who could go if they wished, have not gone ; all _our men at home have not contributed as they should. ‘Therefore the condition on which the Old Flag shall bc kept from falling has not been fulfilled, and wc have no right to expect, while conditions arc as they arc, that the Old Flag shall not fall.
In his last letter to his mother in this city, written
on thc eve of his departure from England for the front, Private _lohn McLean said: "If I donft mme bark you will know I did my duty in the greatest miise I/ie world /ms ever kimiwi.” A telegram received long hefdre his letter arrived announced his death. I-le had done his duty and no man, great or little, can have a more glorious cpitaph than these words' with which he comforted his mother _when setting out on what he knew might result in his not coming hack. Another quotation from this last letter comes as 'a message and a warning from the dead. It is this: "Prince Edward Islniiil has dont' a big bit but I know there arc l1o_v.v oi/er there who will be ashamed when this war is ended." \
The Old Flag may not fall, although anything
could happen in a war the like of which has never been recorded in the history of the world. But in keeping it from falling many of the bravest who have been sheltered under it will fall and they will fall because the others who were similarlysheltered did not go to help them. “I did' my duty ;” “I am ashamed,” will be the memories, perhaps the cpitaphs,-of many after thc war is over. There is a whole eternity be- tween the tw0._
The consolation of having done our duty and the
_shame of having _not done it are by no means confined to .thdsdfiéllgime ,for active service. They are equally applicabl'e`to th0§c" who are legitimately debarred from jgoing to the front, and whose duty is confined exclu-
fsiively to doing what they can at home. And here also
.mimy, if not all, have fallen short. An exchange well points out: We know no better answer to the general question, “How can I help?" than this one: Spend less on yourself and spare more forthe State. Those eligible 'for military service who ,follow that rule for a while will come to the mind toetilist. The young man who likes a smoke should befllirik himself that there are good fellow-Canadians the ranks who_ would bless him if he were to sparlih little of the tos bm.. and a fewer his eigsreuajgnd the cigar. he smokes every week.

Q' Kipling gave us the picturesque expression “Killing Kruger with your mouth.” The German press is at present busily engaged in killing England with its vol uminous mouth., The .Hamburg “Friedemblatt” has this explanation to give of the Balkan campaign ro- cently started:
“The road to Constantinople will be conquered,
and then one uninterrupted long railroad will stretch out from Hamburg to Bagdad. The road will be open for the transit of German goods to Turkey, and Turk-I ish goods to Germany. Then a compact economic ter- ritory will cxtend from the North Sea to the Persian Gulf and the frontier of India, and the rich produce of the soil of Asia Minor will find its way to the Central Powers without _the British fleet being able to inter- fere with the, movement.,_:That_ will' mean the final collapse of the British plan to‘_cut Germany and Aus- tria-Hungary off from the raw material of the world. What is at stake is something more than the fate of ‘Black Peter’s country.’ The stake is the Balkans and the Dardanelles, Egypt, and the final decision of the
world war.” ' _
There _can be no reasonable doubt that Constanti-
nople, and through it, Egypt_and_,the route to India. is the goal aimed at and it is somewhat disconcerting to learn from French sources-.that the Turkish railway in Syria has been extended"by` a"German engineer to Beersheba, or to within 30 miles of the Egyptian fron- tier. Beersheba, on"the edge of the desert, is design- ed to be thc starting point of the expedition to cut the Suez Canal, and all the \vater pipes and cement in Syria have been commandeered to provide for per- manent water supply. Mdreover, the German officers commanding the Turkish army have organized the whole male poptilation,'and the Turks have now a ' surplus of soldiers. If by German victory in the Bal- kans the Turks were freed from danger from the North they would be able to concentrate large forces for thc accomplishment of their ambition to regain Egypt-

indicate that even the first stage of the journey to Egypt and India, the road to Constantinople, is yet
iopfen. The Entcnte Allies have joined forces and are
making the cncmy pay dearly for every inch of terri- tory he has gained, while they arc holding him up at many points. .
German diplomats have used their temporary suc-
cesses and have exploited their hopes as incentives to bring to their aid fthe waverers among the Balkans. King Constantine has been. afraid openly to ally Gmecewvith -the Entcnte and may yet have to be reck- oned with. Roumania, however, has held out firmly and Vfmay now be counted upon as friendly. Another day _or two will probably change the whole situation in this disturbed nest. In any 'case the road _to Egypt and India is 'far from open to Germany. - `

NOTES .
A Dutch publicist calls attention to the fact that
while Great Britain’s_`_ expenditure of twenty millioui dollars a day is only.half of the British nation’s income, the German expenditure of twenty-five millions a day is nine-tenths of her yearly income. l-lc shows the effect of- this contrast by pointing out that Germany has remaining only fifteen dollars per head to sustain sevenitymillion people, while Great Britain has a hundred and fifty dollars a head for her forty-five millions. On the strength of these statistics he pre- dicts that “ Cerinaiiy " will be beaten economically and financially in the not distant future.”
