Christian Emperor Constantine who

was that it would be retaken from the

quite within the ticunde of po.sihility

The Montreal Herald Dills attention

These figures do not include expen•
diture on account of the war ; neither
do they include capital expenditure --
they simply represent the cost of run-
ning the various departments of the
national service. As The Herald says,
the Government hate embarked on •
scale of expenditure which nothing
but booming times and an overflowing
treasury :could justify, and it is con-
tinuing that 1.4'014. of expenditure in a
period when it- was never more neces-
sary that economy and retrenchment
should he prnrtised. A halt must be
called, or national disaster will be the
consequence.

THE WAR. �
MORAL. RI/LOTIONS OF THB
WAR.
Foe assay $Uaer$dose It has been a
commonplace of popular sociology
that religious feeling is quickened by
war, and predictions have freely been
made that a great revival of religion
will bring a measure of spiritual com-
pensation to tics human race for the
destruction and dcaolatlon now going
on. Whatever in sy sooner or later be
the effect of the war upon faith tied
upon religious devotion, it is apparent
that a purely secular and practical
sobriety of mind hes already been
produoed es One Immediate reaction,
and there is every iodination that It
will have lasting consequences in pop-
ular habita and conditions of well -
beings.
Frivolityand eflervescentfoolishness
have neary disappeared from France
and England, and wherever they enr-
olee in • small way, they are severely
condemned. Cheerful wholesome re-
creation on the other hand is encour-
aged. as of value in maintaloing the
courage and morale of peoples plunged
in sorrow and burdened with crushing
costs. Luxuries and even comforts
have cheerfully been sacrificed. The
old-fashioned virtues of soonon.y and
thrift are again hoisted oil. and ever y -
where it has become had form to 'give
way W un000trolled exprseioos cf
grief. Stoicism, courage. frugality,
sobriety of mind and behavior, are
everywhere eocislly demanded.
Throughout Europe the liquor traffic
.ind the consumption of spirits have
horn brought ruder control. It is safe
to say that the control will continue
and be developed after peace is eetab•
lisped. In other things also state
control will, from this time on. dimin-
ish the human waste end wreckage
that have discredited the long regime
of social irresponsibility. Through
experience nations will know, what
they have been slow to believe, that
by discipline and a firm hood men can
be withheld from idleness and worth-
lessness. Conservation and efficiency
will be held obligatory. -
And while scientific research In
general is put .back fcr a century, nal
zertoin Holds it is being stimulated to
the utmost. In surgery and iq the
preveation of disease strides have been
made that two yeah ago would have
been thought Incredible. When the
war i. (ver and economic production 1
begins to get back tc normal dimen-
sions, it will ire within the power of
each civilised Patios to stamp . out i
nearly every one of the ep,demi•'
diseases which hitherto have ravaged4
populations more mercilessly than war
itself.
It is Dot unwarranted, we think, to
see in these moral reactioosof the war
evidence that the human race really
has made progress in other than
material ways. It has at 'coat learned
to look upon itself es responsible for
conditione, and it sets about its task
of improving them dna common-sense,
scientific ape ' **alike way. It i•
not too mueh ro enlx that in this way,
and under • sense of responsibility, it
will resolutely set about the task of
preventing the unspeakable calsmity
of war. -The Independent' (New
