total number discontinued since the
war began is 3,000,
Owing to present high prices, inci-
dent to the war, the Canadian dollar
has depreciated in valuie to 67 cents.
If the war lasts much longer a dollar
bill will look like 30 cents.

Time for another note.
Sir Wilfrid boasts that he .is the
unifier of the race; in Canada. Away
back in .1885 one remembers that he
said, '°Riel has been condemned by
a jury strange to his race and re-
ligion." His stand on bilingualism is
another brilliant instance of the way
he tries to unify the races.
The Advocate will welcome the
receipt of letters from the boys at
the front or izi England, ree Meld by
parents, wives or others, and will pro-
mise to print only such Portions.that
are not of a private naturae, and may
be considezted of news value, Send
them to the „advocate and we will
pick out the oasts that :are not of a.
private nature,
On Assuming 'the position of Gov-
ernor-General .of Canada the Duke of
Devonshire has issued a pardon to all
soldiers of the Canadian forces, who
deserted, on condition that ,they be-
fore Dec. 15th, surrender to the com-
manders of the district in which they
live, It is belived that many absent
without leave': failed to grasp the ser-
iousness of the offence and are de-
sirous of coming back.
With the Borden Government the
war is the first and last consideratoni;
with Laurier it is not a consideration;
it le an opuortunity, Sir Wilfred
ha?s aunortnced that he is not afraid
of kresponslbility. Looking back at the
record ot Laurier, in and out of office
there seems to be some ground for
for believilttg ,that he has made a
truthful statement. A man whose
whole administration was one long
chapter of abandoned principles, of
corruption and of waste, a man who
after goingout of office was guilty
of thegreat crime of killings. the naval
aid biil.who since that time devoted
alt his energies to hinder the Govern-
ment in the prosecution of the war,, a
man who, above all, proclaims his in-
tention to go on as he begun, that
man is certainly not afraid of respon-
sibility.

The only two disturbing features
about the war situation just now, are
the enemy =messes in Roumania
and the efforts of the Royalist party
in Greece to thwart the Allies plans.
A:, for Greece her double -cross
course throu.gheutethe whole war ;foes
not make one sympathize with her
very mu ch, but Roumania should be
saved the fate of Belgium and Ser-
bia if such a thing is possible. At
one point the Roumanian army °is
obliged to retreat continuously day
after' day, and the news is disturb-
ing, but not necessarily dishearten-
ing as at this distance one does not
undereiand the game.
In the meantime victory rests with
the Allies on the Russian front, in
Macedonia, on the Italian front and
on the west line.
A few German destroyers and zepa
elms mad: raids on the English coast
during the week, but with no success,
Two Zeppelins were destroyed in
the raid on North England this week
and the machines and all of the crews
of about 25 men each, were lost. One
German airplane which raided Lon-
don was also destroyed. The British
defensive air service is now pretty
good a,; seven Zepees. have been des-
troyed in the last few months.
Superannuation for teachers is get-
ting closer. If a draft bill now pre-
pared is acceptable to -the teachers,
and goes through the Legislature it
will become flaw in Ontario. Each
teacher is now being asked to give an
expression for (and against the .nervi
bill. The old bill did not meet with
the approval of the young teachers
who obj•eccted to payment of part of
their salaries when they did not in-
tend to stick to the profession. The
new draft provides that teachers who
have been employed at least six years
in the procession shall, an retiring,
before becoming entitled to superan-
nuation, receive back the whale of
his or her contributions to the fund,
This clause is conditional upon three
year acturia] valuations, showing that
the fund can safely b'eai such repay-
ment. A similar condition applies to
another new clause, allowing repay-
ment of contributions to relatives
where a teacher 'dies after superannu-
ation allowances have become payable.
The hew draft allows teachers to- re-
tire on pension after thirty years of
service instead of forty years, as or-
iginally provided. The pension pay-
able, however, will be determined up-
on an acturial Basis, Instead of re--
ctuiring two per cent. of .their salary
[rom else teachers arse per cent. from
the local boards, with two per cent.
from the provincial treasury, the bill
as it stands allows the three local
boards to drop out, and makes, up, the
once per cent. by adding an extra one-
half to the teachers and the province.

The short course in Live Stock
Judging held on Thursday and Frid-
day afternoons last in connection with
the South Huron Board of Agricul-
ture a branch 'of the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, was far and
away the best and most instructive
meetings. held in Exeter in a long
time. The courses were held in the
Skating Rink, and although both ,lays
were stormy about twa hundred were
present ,each afternoon. The Course
embraced the judging of Beef Cattle,
and Dairy •Cattle on Thursday, with
R. H. Harding of Than -elate as in-
structor; and Light Horses and Heavy
Horses on Friday, with John Gard -
house of Weston as instructor. Dairy-
men and farmers supplied the animals
and some good stack of the various
kinds was in the firing. The method
adopted was as follows,—All the
ainnnal.3 of a class were placed togeth-
er and the instructor named over -the
viariou , points about such a class of
animals Each, person present was
then invited to examine the class on
points ,and decide which should be
placed as first, second, third, etc.,
and the reasons who. The judge then
asked several of them where they
placed the 'animals and their reasons
for so doing, sufftei which he went
over the classpoint by roint, showing
why one was better Than .the other.
it proved very intteresting, and in-
structive, and the only thing lacking

decisions. In the absence of the pres-
ident,.George' Penhale, Mr. W.D.

noon and i itr•oduced ;the instructors
