that al but about six millions of lir

A Hungarian newspaper gives the
following estimate of the English in
regard to the great war,—"We may
be sure that if all the belligerents are
beaten into insensibility he ;Brataiit)
will still hammer away with bleeding
fists, tired and exhausted. England in
her persistence will never stop, even
if she knows that the longer the war
lasts the more she will, bleed; even if
she knows that all possible gains at
the finish will not make good .half
of wha' she has lost Those: Ger-
mans who look forward to an early
peace in this world with longing heart
must turn their eyes on, England hope-
lessly, for as long as• the sun of peace
is not rising in the isles to the west
of us there is no hope for peace. And
England secure in her citadel, behind
the bulwark of her fleet, can go on
and on and on and, on."

Th • Canadian War Budget is give
,ng results exceeding the most san-
guine expectations of the Minister of
Finance.. The total revenue for the
month of November Is $17,0772,456.16,
increase of $7,576,920.46 over that of
November of last year and the largest
for ane month in the, history of the
Dominion
For the eight months of the pre-
sent fiscal year ended November 30
the total revenue aggregates $104,-
75t,000 as against $90,400,000 for the
last fiscal year, when owing to the el -
feet of the war trade Was badly de-
nicralizec] during August, September,
()etcher and November of the eight
months it question, The estimate of
the Minister of Finance that his Bud-
get in February last would realize thir-
ty million; of additional revenue is
now certain to be substantially ex-
ceeded
The policy adopted by the Govern -
inert at the outbreak of the war of
proceeding only with works actually
under contract is now bearing its full
fruit For the first eight months of
the current fiscal year the ordinary
expenditure's show a reduction of ever
ten million dollars and the capital ex-
penditures of about three millions.
'Between increased revenue end de-
creases expenditure the ,fiscal posi-
tion this year as compared with the
previous year shows a favorable bal-
ance of twenty-seven million dollars.
The Dominion is thus daily being
made stronger to meet the increasing-
ly heavy expenditures of the war.
