Britain is spending on war $58,300,- 000 a day. , Much .rain has fallen during the w €k, and on top of what fell during previous weeks is doing no good, Canada's fire losses for June were $1,184,627, as 'compared• with May loss of $1,163,110 and $494,557 for the corresponding month, of last year. Hon. W. J, Hanna, Food Controller has issued a statement urging econ- omy and prevention of waste, and bespeaking - whole -hearted co-opera- tion. - For the week 15 British merchant ships of ,more ,than 1,600 tonswere sunk and five vessels of less than that 'to -nage.

The Financial Post ps writing very discouraging articles on the war these days. These articles' say ,that we do. (not 'know how (serious the situation is, and that if we knew; there would he a rush to the recruiting orfices and there would ,be rno need of con,- seriptson.

Bread inspectors say that bread is underweight and sells forone pricein the .town anda lesser price just out of town. Why does every- body want to do the other fellow— just a little. "The elimination of ; waste in hotels, restaurants, public places and in the homes of Canada would work an enormous saving: Every man, woman and child in Canada and_ire they United States must substitute at least one- third to two-fifths of wheat food they now ,consume. Our paramount duty is to save food for export. I£ we can do this, and save money toe, so much 'the better, If not, we must save food in any case, and as far as passible reduce the cost,—Hanna; Food Controller: Some weeks ago mast people in. Ca- nada anada were very disgusted and resent- ful at the attitude of Russia in the war There was a general feeling that Rus, ria: wax playing an unhands,orne part although they were in the,midst of the revolution. How would Canada stand before her Allies to -day if she were not willing to enforce, conscrip- tion and keep ;hex' forces alt the front effective ' 'by reinforcements as they are needed? And Canada is not dis- organized as Russia was after the rev- olution. Since the 'beginning of thewar the British have captured 117,776 prison- ers; exclusive of patives in the Afric- an campaigns, many of whom have been released. The British have lost to the 'enemy :51,088 men, including Indian and native troops. These fig- ures take in all theatres of war. The British have captured 739 guns dur- ing the war and lost 133. Of the guns lost 37 were recaptured, and of the 96 remaining in enemy hands 84 were lost by the British on the -west -front early is the war.
