From perfectly ‘authentic sources it is learned that the directors of several of the great banking institutions in Germany held a meeting and discussed the financial situation. They came to the conclusion that it was absolutely impossible for Germany to remain at war afler the end of next August without being faced' by economic ruin. This, it \vas explained, did not _'mean that 'the' keep up after that date there vvoulglllioffbe left a sutiicicnt margin of money for the ctilpire to rlesumc its economic life after peace is declared.- lt is stated also, and authoritatiiirely, that the repre- sentatives of German finance areliriiiging tremendous pressure to bear upon the government to conclude peace before it becomes necessary to encroach upon this monetary margin, which must,bc kept intact if tic-rmany is to resume its commercial and industrial existence after the war. In the opinion of these authorities even victory would 11ot insure her being able to keep her commercial head above water after the war. They therefore insist upon it that peace must be concluded before the end of August. That is the financial end of it, but the German end cast the course it will pursue. It is quite possible, even probable, that in view of the financial outlook, Germany will make ovcrtures for peace. Indeed she has already been sending out feelcrs in this direction. She will seek what Britain and the Allies regai"d,_ as terms of premature peace. Her terms willnot be_ -ln.fir nvrny Australia of Mrs. Ernest dont; (b) Treasurer; .(c) Schools by fdellghtful passage home. notwlthatand- teudeuts.

With nothing but national, commercial and industrial ruin before her she will' throw to the winds all financial considerations and will I carry 011 the war on a paper basis regardless as to whether the paper will be of any value or not. The' end of the \var will not come as the immediate outcome of threatened financial rui11. There are other factors at work which are even more potent than the depletion of tl1e national ex- chutuer and the threat of industrial and commercial collapse after the war. There are the food priges in (iermany and in the countries of her allies. These have reached famine proportions. \\`hile the country is splendidly organized, while the resources of the country are so conserved that not a scrap is wasted, while everybody is regularly provided with food tickets which will enable them to buy food as long as the food lasts, still food is becoming dearer and scarcer a11d not even the ri_cl1 can get as much as they require, while the poor arc unable to buy enough for their daily wants. This suffering for food while their men are not returning f romthe war, starvation tl1reat~- ening the women and children at home a11d the men meeting death on the battlefields, these are the causes underlying the food riots in the cities and the causes are ever increasing. \\'ith the ciy of the financiers for peace there is rising the more insistent and more potent cry of hungry women and children, and their mingled cries will make themselves heard. The unparalleled system of military tyranny that has kept ll1e German people under tl1e heel of their rulers is still in existence, however, andthe cries of the starving and of the finaxicigs will be stifled yet awhile. And the end is not yet. I`l1cre is hard fighting ahead, and while the causes above referred to will be a power- ful factor in bringing the war to an end it will be materially hastened and many valuable lives will be saved by pouring _men into the ranks of the British army, and pouring them in no\v. VALUE Ol" FISHERIES I11 view of thc exceptional importance which at present attaches to a favourable balance of tt'at_le,,says_ thc l\laritimc Merchant, tl1e unique position of o11r fishing industry is worthy of 11ote. Nu other branch of Canadian industry contributes to our exports so large a pro_portio11 to its total output as the fisheries. Duriiig 1914-1915, out of a production valued' at $31,000,000 in round numbers, Canada exported fish products valued at more than $19,000,000, or nearly 03 per cc11t. of the total. As we imported about $2,000,000 wortlt of fish products, tl1e net balance in our favour on this branch of trade is about $17,000,000. The fisheries must, therefore, be regarded as a valu- able national asset. But it is scarcely open to question that the fishing industry _vyould be in a much stronger' position, and the prosperity of those engaged in it more solidly based, were' it rendered less dependent upon foreign niarkets by the devlopment of thc domestic demand to absorb a» larger portion of its output.
