NO REFUND OF WAR, TAX.
A matter of importance to the pub-
lic and the railways has been settled.
by the Government. A nice point has
been raised as ;to the possibility of re-
fund of the war tax in case a person
bhould change his or her mind in re-
lard to the contenxplated trip by train
nr boat. If the railways insisted upon
the tax in such cases of changed in-
teution, it was altogether likely that
the public would set them down as
1xtortioners.
Accordingly the railways submitted
the questions to the Government—
what should be done in ease unused
tickets presented for refund to agent.
before the train starts; to agent or
general office after train departs; the
same or some following day; in the
case of passenger tickets; in the case
of sleeping ear tickets; in the ease of
parlor can tickets; in the case of
steamship tickets. The answer which
the railways received was as follows:
There can be no refund of the tax
under any circumstances, Once the
ticket is sold and the tax collected, it
is as though it were in the Dominion
coffers and nothing but an act of Par-
liament can get it out again. It was
explained by the Dominion authorities
that in order to prevent the confusion
that would arise in applying literally
the millions of tax stamps that would
have been required on railway tickets
and the consequent difficulties which
would have ensued owing to delay in
affixing and cancellation of stamps,
the present method had been adopted,
and, that as none .of the public could
have reasonably expected a refund on
a stamp that had been affixed and
cancelled, if ticket were refunded
upon, so also no refund may be ex!
pected wherever a tax had been col-
lected, and the ticket unused and re-
funded upon. In other words, the act
of purchase of the ticket in accordance
with the Tax Act is a completed tran-
saction so far as the collection of the
tax is concerned, and under no cir-
cumstances as the law now stands
could it be refunded. To make a re-
fund of the tax possible a special act
would have to be passed by parlia-
ment.

If we lose this war, not only is the
possibility of 'votes for women going

It is the duty of every First Lord

The Government still hold that the
practices of German submarines are
not only in flagrant breach of the laws
of war, but are mean, cowardly, and
brutal.—Mr. Balfour.
We hold only thirty-five miles of
battle front, as against more than
300 miles held by the French, but
those thirty-five miles are the crux
of the position.—Ben TiIlett..

grew well and round and fat as fast

A BIT OF BRITISH PLUCK,
French General Honored the Despatch
There is a pretty little story con-
cerning a few motor: cyclist despatch-
riderswho were trying to get a de-
spatch through • to a. eerteen French
general. Though in safety them-
selves, the ground, over which the
message had to be taken was swept
by a rain of shrapnel, and the first
man, after a hurried farewell to his
friends, jumped on his machine and
dashed for the danger zone. He was
nearly through when a piece of
shrapnel found its billet, and he came
headlong to the ground. The next
man on the list started with a dupli-
cate despatch, but he was less lucky
than the other, and he came down
heavily before he had gone a quarter;
of a mile. The third man jumped on
to his machine, and going "all-out,'
made through and delivered his de-
spatch to the French general. Just
as he was turning away the great e
man stopped him, and, taking the rib-
bon of the Medaille Militaire from his
breast, pinned it on to the motor cy-
clist's tunic, thus presenting him with,
one of the highest honors of the
French Army.

simply that Lord Kitchener thinks
darkness brings war home to the pop-
ular mind and so stimulates recruit-
ing. So far from being afraid of Zep-
pelins, the London garrison hopes
some German wareraft will come this
way, and if they do it is thought the
powerful anti -air guns mounted at
strategic points will bring them down.
The figures given above are not of-
ficial; the authorities are not anxious
to expose the murderous results of
their policy of lights out. But they
are approximately accurate, and have
been deduced in the following man-
ner:
In 1913, with - lights on as us-
ual, 579 persons were killed in the
streets of London by horse-drawn
and motor -drawn vehicles and by bi-
cycles, and 18,944 persons were more
or less seriously injured. The Home
Office has just given out the official
figures for 1914, which show that
last year 637 persons were killed and
25,239 more or less seriously hurt in
street accidents.
These figures show that in 1914
there . were 58 more deaths and 6,295
more non-fatal injuries than in 1913,
and, 1913 was a typical year, rather
higher than the average. But the war
did not commence until August 4, and
the lights were not put out at once.
The increase in accidents over 1913,
it may be safely assumed, took place
entirely in. the period of four and a
half months, dating from near the
middle of August, when the electric
lights were ordered out, to the end of
the year. Assuming the same ratio
of accidents caused by bad lighting
for the first three months of the pre-
sent year, we arrive at approximately
90 dead and 9,000 hurt, whom the elec-
tric arc lights would have saved.
Gas lamps, be it noted, cannot be
blamed for the casualty lists, because
the gas lights give out such a small
amount of light that it hays been
thought safe, except in strategic areas
and in the very centre of the city, to
let them burn. -
It is said that war is hell; but it
does not follow that warriors must
be endowed with hellish dispositions.
'Your present mission is as sacred as
the Crusades of the Middle Ages; nay
it is more sacred. The object of those
old Crusaders was to rescue the tomb
of Christ from the Saracens. Your
mission is more exalted.'Not only
the tomb of the founder; but the dis-
tinctive principles, of Christianity are
assailed and threatened. It's yours to
prove that the Gospel of "Love and
Sacrifice" is superior to "The Will to
Power." "Chants of Hate" are un-
British, so are their results, viz: Lou-
vain,. Aerschot and SenIis atrocities.
War affords you enough methods of
punishing the aggressors without vio-
lating the recognized rules and with-
out -you becoming a human devil.
If in the discharge of your duty it
is your fate to fall, be assured that
He who "numbers the very, hairs of
your head" is conscious of your merit,
and that a grateful country will keep
you in memory and accord to you the
head of human appreciation due to
one' whose life is consciously spent
"for others."
You may 'quite consistently pray for
your so-called enemy "` even whilst
pressing the trigger, thrusting the
bayonet or striking with the sword.

Most people sleep on their sides,
with their knees drawn -up. Ele-

sleep standing up. Birds, with.the
exception of owls and the hanging

heads turned tailward over the back,
and the beak thrust among the feath-

Storks, gulls, and other long-legged
birds, sleep standing on one leg.
'Ducks sleep on open water. To avoid

and wolves sleep curled up; their

together, and blanketed, by their bushy
tails. Hares, snakes, and fish sleep.

"The most hellish thing ever n -

P. Lucas, member of the American

the Allies are preparing to use in a

Mr. Lucas is in Cleveland, Ohio,

the French and their allies hope to
cut off the Germans in Belgium by the
drive proposed.
"Land torpedoes" are to be fired
from a mortar. They are three feet
long. Concealed in a knob at one end
is seventy-five pounds of lyddite, a
most powerful explosive, The area
that can be devastated by the torpedo
is almost inconceivable, Mr. Lucas
said.
For this drive the French also have
provided a new type of rapid fire

shots a minute, though weigging but
