The Pxohibition delegation was well received by the Ontario Government last week and Premier Hearst stated that while the ,petittions were large. •Uetitione often do not mean all that they are thought to mean, but that the Government had through the lit - se commission and in other ways ?;n keeping closely in touch with edetious in the ,province as regards Ee.liquor traffic, and the Government ad decided as stated some days enviously at tbe opening of the Leg- islature :to submit prohibition. to the people to be :passed on a majority vote, He made it ,plain to the Com- mittee ief One ;Hundred that this committee in bringing in this peti- tion, bad only begun its work, and that if ;prohibition carried the_Government would loom to the committees favor- ing rten erarnce to assist in the en- forcement of the glow.. -x -o -x - Sir George Paish the other day core - meted the popular notion that Bri- tain's war expenditure of seven and a half billion dollars is a total Joss. Of this stupenduous sum, Britain has lent to ,her allies and colonies two and a half billions, which will be: re- turned with interest when the war is over. She bas also maintained her population in part from the war ex- penditure. The net cost of the war is therefore, but a small fraction of the whole expenditure; A great loss, however, which does not occur to those who contemplate only the ex- Behditure of seven and a. half billions ie the loss of savings from produetive industry. From this Blossof savings, eels said, the world, including Britain wilt be poorer at the, end of two years of war by the unthinkable sum of 15 TAMAN'S PHONE 81a A CORRECT SPRINO STYLE The New Natural -Form - Fitting.

This deterioa'ation is another of the results of the war, the Gee used for toning all coming from Germany, and is no longer procurable. Germany ,had a noted fame for the Production. of dyes of all kinds, that market' for them has ben; utterly de- stroyed outside their own. country,and is hot likely they; will ever regain tit.

The War Summary The, great fight at Verdure still rag- es, Germany as not counting the cost in this effort. 200,000 men have been killed or wounded on their side in this battle, while the French have lost 40,000, The Crown. Prince must win or be disgraced, but French experts say that the Germans cannot win. It looks it, too. Russia still pushes on south of the Black Sed,, The, British at Mesopotamia are ag- ain. andthes is s inn in Ru ss n are progressing, g, also drawing near to their. aid. Turkey is said to desire a separate• peace. Roumania is said to be very neat ber entrance into the conflict. Tan other districts fighting is not as ,severe as usual. Germany ,has declared war against Portugal nista the latter doesn't care- Germany is harmless as far as she is concerned. LATEST WAR NEWS.
