England is now paying out daily fifteen million dollars, while the daily War expenditures of all Europe are Sixteen times as great. Great Britain is spending the most money, with Ger- Many second, Russia third and Prance fourth. One reason for Eng- land's heavier outlay is the greater pay she gives to her volunteer army of 3,000,000 men. In the other coun- tries the conscripted soldier receives practically no pay. The end of the first year of this greatest of all wars shows that the banks of the four leading belligerents collectively have over $100,000,000 More gold than when the war began. The banks of France and Russia have approximately $800,000,000 each of the yellow metal, but both have fallen slightly during the year. • The Bank Of Germany has gained $170,000,000 gold since this time in 1914, but its total is still $200,000,000 below that Of either France or Russia. The Bank of England gained $70,000,000 gold in the last twelve months. In discussing Britain's ability to finange a destructive war, Sir George Paish, the ablest economist in Europe, enumerates some interesting facts. First of all England owns twenty bil- lions of foreign securities, of which only one -fortieth has been sold during the year. The nation has built 1,226,- 000 tons of new ships, exceeding by a vast margin all the tonnage destroyed by hostile fleets and submarines. In normal years Englishmen invest hun- dreds of millions in foreign stocks and bonds. At present the surplus is going into Government war loans. At the end of the present year Bri- tain's total debt will reach nine bil- lions. The other countries are ac. Stimulating burdens which will be even more difficult for them to carry. Fog generations half the civilized world will still be struggling to liqui- date debts contracted to -day as the' sequel of regal pride. •Hot Weather Yearn.

SCaT%AND. The picture shows the representatives of Ireland, England and Scot- land in the recent munition workers' pageant in London, when more than 50,000 women marched through the streets demanding that they be allowed to take the places of the men in the munition factories La order to allow the men to go to the front. A CURIOUS COINCIDENCE. Newsy Notes of Britain's Fighting Men In the Field. Soldiers are forbidden by Interna- tional law to pretend to be dead or W unded with the object of taking the enemy at a disadvantage. Eight companies of cyclists can carry 256,000 rounds of ammunition as against 72,000 carried by a whole cavalry division of nearly 2,600 men. The Life Guards are the o'hly regi- ment who now retain their own medi- cal and veterinary officers and have mounted pioneers, who ride before the regiment bearing the axes. It is said that one of the newest types of British torpedo has an effec- t' ve range of four miles and a force sufficient to blow a hole as large as a haystack in the side of a battleship. A British army corps is approxi- mately, 38,000 men; an Austrian is about 53,000 men; while the strength of French, Russian and German army corps varies from 40,000 men to 65,- 006 5;006 men. An artilleryman invalided from the front relates that in one 6 -inch Ger- man shell there was discovered a brass candlestick, whilst another con- tained a bicycle crank and a quantity of broken glass. Motor -wagons used by the allies on the Continent have their hoods paint- ed in a gigantic check design of vio- lently contrasted colors, thus making them less easy to "spot" from aero- planes. By a curious coincidence, the 15th Hussars, quartered round an old cha- teau in Flanders, have tethered their horses to stout iron rings used for the same purpose by the 15th Hussars a hundred years ago—after Waterloo. All our guns at the front are peri- odically , examined by experts, and it is said that though some of these wea- pons have now fired many thousands of rounds, they are, for all practical purposes, as good as when they left the shop's. Self-satisfied people have reached the jumping off place. •c NSTOPAT110 CAN BE, CURED. There is Nething To Equal Milburn's L axa Liver Pills For This Purpose. Mrs, A.

TRIBUTE TO BRITISH NAVY. "Saved the World From Destruction By Barbarism." The London Daily Express pub- lishes an interview with M. Augag- neur, the French Minister of Marine, who said that the British fleet "sav- ed the world from destruction by the barbarians of the twentieth century; ' it saved us all from utter desolation. I have no patience with people who hint that France is not satisfied with the British efforts. You promised na- val co-operation, you gave it, and you created an army for our mutual bene- fit. The question of munitions has nothing to do with it. All our ideas of modern warfare were at fault; we based them on what had taken place in the Russo-Japanese war and in the Balkans. We even went back to 1870, and what happened? We had to be- gin all over again. "But do not you think that Germany made mistakes too? She thought of a war that might last four months. I know that the enemy was not prepar- ed for a war that will last as long as this one will. If she had she would not have left undone certain things that have been so left. "I read your British papers and I have seen some of them keep calling on the British to wake up, but .what country in the world could have pro- duced a voluntary army such as yours has done? "After a year of hard fighting I see the path leading to victory. "What reasons are there for being pessimistic? I know of none. In the Dardanelles we have a hard job be- fore us, but this is no time for fault- finding or for seeking broad shoulders to bear the blame of possible mis- takes. Wo have to force the Narrows, and force them we shall. With your army you have achieved the appar- ently impossible. Your navy is work- ing in the dark, without a word of its daily doings being chronicled. Vic- tory is in sight, I do not pose as a seer, and when I say that victory is in sight I do not mean that it will come 'within the next few weeks, or even months, but in the spring, well, you .will see."

He 'informed a body of recruits the other day that "D" stood for England and "W" for, Wales, "I" for Ireland and "," for Scotland, "And what does the cL,,' stand for?" inquired one of the re- cruits. "'L,' oh, that's for the Kais- er," explained the sergeant, rejoiced at getting an opening for the com- pletion of his joke. LLOYD -GEORGE NOT A SMALL MAN..

Not only is Mr. Lloyd -George very human, but in his own home he is one of the most domestieated of men. But there is one task he does not like, and that is carving. Mrs. Lloyd - George usually carves, and when she is away her husband's performances with the carving knife are the sub- ject of much amusement in the fam- ily circle, No one, however, enjoys the fun more than Mr. Lloyd -George himself. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that on Sunday afternoons he always has a special dish—an ap- ple pasty or turnover—prepared for his tea. Owing to his shortness in stature many people think that Mr. Lloyd - George is a small man and lacking in physical power. This, however, is quite a mistake. The truth is that Mr. Lloyd -George, who weighs thir- teen and a half stone, is a very stur- dy, powerful person, with a wonderful' physique and nervous system. Gift of Sleep. Ile has a great gift of sleep. When he is tired he will go into a room, lock the door, lie down, pull a shawl over himself, and go to sleep for hale an hour. When he awakes he is as fresh as a new pin. Being by profession a solicitor, it is scarcely surprising to learn that Mr. Lloyd -George takes a keen interest in criminal cases. He will follow the evidence of a big murder trial very closely, and will afterwards describe to you, in course of conversation, what questions he would have put to the witnesses, and what verdict he would have given if he had been on the jury, Rt. Hon. Lloyd George He is a great reader of newspapers. Very little escapes him, from foreign news to breach of promise cases, while in regard to books he loves most historical novels. Mr. Lloyd - George is a great philosopher and has carefully thought out most of the problems of life, placing courage above all other virtues. Sometimes, he says, patienceis the highest form of courage. Possessing the Welshm=an's natural love of music, Mr. Lloyd -George rarely misses an opportunity of go- ing to hear an oratorio. But nothing seems to please him better than to spend an hour singing Welsh hymns, accompanied by his daughter Olwen on the piano. When he has finished one of his favorites he will usually I say, "That is a splendid old hymn; now let us have so-and-so," Theatricals and Music. Furthermore, everyone present must join in the hymn, and those who cannot sing Welsh have to do their best in a foreign language. i Theatricals as well as music inter- ests the Minister of Munitions, for he himself is a born mimic. When he returned from a recent trip to Wales he gave a most graphic description of the manner in which the various types of soldiers—the collier, farm I laborer, mechanic, shop assistant, etc,—marched, finishing up, however, with the appropriate Observation, "But they will all bayonet the Gee. mane the same way, They are all actuated by tho same marvellous spirit.'

Lesson IX,—God's Care of Elijah, 1 Kings 17. 1.16. Golden Text: 1 Peter 5. 7. 1. Elijah's Prophecy Concerning Dew and Rain (Verses 1-7). Verse 1. The Tishbite—A native of Tishbe in Gilead on the east side of the Jordan River. The place has not been definitely identified. Elijah's ap- pearances are always sudden, and he does not remain long. His coming to Ahab is abrupt and his prophecy without any warning whatsoever. Other prophets appeared in the same way: for example, Ahijah (1 Kings 11. 29); Shemaia (2 Chron. 11. 2); Azariah (2 Chron. 15. 1). Where evil is rife the word of the Lord is sure to come with all the force of the unexpected. As ... the God of Israel livetlei - Elijah spoke not oh his own author- ity, but on that of Jehovah. "God," he said, "will speak through rne, ac- cording to my word." 8. Hide thyself—His life would be in danger because of the anger of Ahab and Jezebel his wife. They would consider Elijah not the "announcer," but the cause of the drought. Brook Cherith — Not elsewhere mentioned. It was not a brook in the ordinary sense, ,but a ravine, down through which the torrent rains of winter were rushed to the Jordan. It was dry except at the place where Elijah was to hide. As it was long and narrow and deep, it would make a good hiding place. Tradition lo- catesiCherith in the neighborhood of Jericho, but "before the Jordan," is now thought to mean "eastward," hence the brook is to be thought of as one of numerous water courses flowing into the Jordan from the east. 4. I have commanded the ravens to feed thee—These birds would make their nests in the coves of the rav- ines. The word ravens in Hebrew can be made to mean "merchants" or "Arabians." As the "ravens" were "unclean" birds, the Jews'have favor- ed the reading "merchants" or "Ara- bians" (that is, travelling caravans) who gave Elijah to eat as they passed by. 6. And the ravens brought — The tradition is that they brought bread in the morning and flesh at night. II. The Widow of Zarephath (Verses 8-16). 9, Zarephath — On the sea -coast, about eight miles south of Sidon. I have commanded a widow there to sustain thee—This was as precari- ous a source of sustenance as the dried-up brook and the food of the ravens. For with a drought in the and, a widow would not have more than enough for herself and family. 10. Gathering sticks—The poverty of the widow is indicated by the fact she was obliged to pick up every stray bit of wood for fuel. 11, Was going to fetch it -- Her hospitality, even with starvation face ng her, was as ready as her faith, a moment later, was responsive. 12, far ... cruse—The jar (or bar- rel) and cruse were the necessary domestic articles of every home, and would thus be particularized. That we may eat it and die—The ast meal, another evidence of her material poverty. 15, She went and did—Faith, the substance of her spiritual riches, was great.
