A despatch from New -roils says:—
Advertisements in newspapers here
gave convincing proof of the compre-
hensiveness of price deflations in re-
tail lines except food, Cuts ranged
from 20 to '75 per cent, with the larg-
est reductions occurring in commodi-
ties classified as luxuries. Food re-
mained high. People must have it and
must pay the prices demanded.
The current deflation is attributed
to, the trend of economy that has taken
possession of the public. Some specific
effects follow:"

eral.weelts ago. Shoes that were sell-

Princess is an expert pianist, and so

The appointment of the Hon. Alex-
ander Hard:nge to succeed the Earl
of Cromer as Assistant Private Sec-
retary to the King has come as no
surprise to those who are aware of
the friendship that exists between the
Prince of Wales and the new official.
They were brother officers in the
Grenadier Guards, and it has been an
open secret .tor some time past 'that
the Hon. Alexander would come to
Court at the first convenient oppor-
tunity.
It i's no sinecure that he takes over,
since the Private Secretary's office is
one of the busiest departments in the
Household, and the work there has
increased tremendously of late. The
volume of correspondence that has to
be dealt with every day is surprising
to anyone who is not behind the scenes
at Court.
Its Outstanding Feature is Ab-
sence of Connecting
Cables.
A despatch from London says:—
"The latest airplane designed by Fok-
ker, the famous Dutch builder, is on
exhibition in the Schipbol airdrome
here," says a Rotterdam despatch to
the Daily News. "Its inventor believes
it will revolutionize airplane construc-
tion and greatly reduce both the pur-
chase price. and the costs of flying.
"The outstanding feature of the
new airplane is that it has no con-
necting wires or cables. The wings
are supported- by longitudinal sleep-
ers, which give them the necessary
strength. They are consequently very
thick—as much as two feet in the
centre—and they are further strength-
ened by the use of triplex wood in-
stead of the customary airplane fabric.
The machine is fitted with a Single
motor of 185 horsepower, but' this is
sufficient to give it a speed of 170
kilometres an hour (about 1p61/4
miles).
GERMANS BUSY

All Factories Operating Dur-
ing War Again in Full
Swing.
A despatch from Paris says:—All
German factories which, during the
war, turned out airplanes, are now in
full swing and are carefully :camou-
flaging their products. Thus, not one
whole machine turned out by any
single factory, but all over the coun-
try, spare parts are assembled, and at
a minute's notice 'could be sent to
other parts to be assembled as air-
planes.
, The German Zeppelin works are at
present engaged inturning out new
powerful airships, while special sheds
are being constructed at Friedrich-
aften. Other firms are busily engaged
building and•testing powerful airplane
engines.
Six Shiploads of Sugar
• on the Way. From Cuba
A, despatch from St. John, N.B.,
says:—Six ships laden with .sugar,
which will relieve the Dominion's near
famine in this commodity, are,now en
route from Cuba to this port. The
boats were held up in Cuba by strikes.
More are to follow them. So great is
the quantity of sugar to be laid down
here in a fete days that ,the local re-
finery has chartered a portion of the
extensive Government sheds to store
it.
Sir Aucicland Geddes is by no means
the most youthful, Ambassador sent to
represent this country abroad. Lord
Granville was only thirty 'when he
went to Petrograd as Ambassador in
1804, and the appointment, despit his
youth, was amply justified.
One ex -service man of whom I have
heard is very ingeniously pressing an
Army idea into business service. He
used to send a subordinate .round to
customers to collect orders, and by
the time the return was made most of
the day had gone. Now his man goes
round with a basket of carrier pigeons,
which are released with every few
orders, and by this means the delivery
van is able to start out shortly after
the last pigeon arrives, with most of
the day still available.
An ingenious friend suggests that,
as we are all striving (or ought to be
striving) after economy we should
learn to do without hyphens. Their
use causes us to waste an enormous
amount of time, ink, and physical
force. Some nations build up coin-
pound words without any hyphen to
break them; but the English find one
necessary for a simple word of five
letters like "to -day." It may be rough-
ly estimated that each of the 200,000,-
000 people who write English writes,
"to -day," "to -morrow," or "to -night"
three times a day. Half an ounce of
force is required to make a hyphen
with a pen or pencil, so this superflu-
ous symbol entails a waste of 18,760,-
000 lbs. daily, or enough to draw a
passenger train around the world.—

1,400,000 FRENCH
KILLED IN WAR
Country' Lost 57 Per Cent. of
Men Under 32 Years of Age.
A clespatoh from Paris says;—
What is perhaps the first concise and
comprehensive statement of France's
war lessee rias just been made by Cap-
tain Andre Tardieu. In describing
what be calla "the balanoo sheet" of
France, Capt. Tardieu status that dur-
ing the five years of war 8,000,000 men
were mobilized, of whole 1,400,000
were killed, With those wounded,
France lost 57 per cent, of her men
under 32 years of age.
Concerning material losses, Captain
Tardieu states that 600,000 houses
were, destroyed, 76,000,000 acres of
arable land laid waste, and 3,000 miles
of railways and 25,000 miles of 'high-
ways destroyed. Mines which produc-
ed 55 per cent. of France's total coal
output, were damaged or destroyed;
11,500 factories, which before the war
produced 95 per cent. of the woollen
goods, 90 per cent. of the linen mater-
ial, 70 per cent. of the sugar, and 60
per cent, of the cotton geode, were
crippled.
,One-third of France's ships were
sunk by German submarines.
"Service."
People of to -day are fond of catch
words. Someone coins a phrase or
makes use of a little known word, and
at once everyone takes it up and drags
it, hit-or-miss, into his conversation.
Some of them stick because they are
so useful, while many more die of
overwork inside of a season. One
which has been with us a long time
and bids fair to stay is "Service."
There are public service corporations,
service stations for autoists, the ser-
vice promised by every progressive
firm, and hotels' with "the finest sex: -
vice."
On every hand we hear of "service,"
but few, very few of us, ever get W.
What sort of service does your phone
give? I'd hate to hear'you answer, so
I'll hasten on to the mails, the ex-
press companies, the man that prom-
ised you glass for your windows, and
the dealer who was going to have
your new flivver for you weeks ago.
Mostly you are still waiting for de-
liveries of everything promised.
And the much talked of service to
the state, where is. it? Plenty of men
and women to serve on election boards,
serve on commissions, that work only
one day in the year and that on pay
day. Plenty to act on investigating
committees, thousands to make speech-
es and tell what the country needs,
but how many to take off their coats
and go to work?
The trouble with us all is that we

More and morn persons are making
that discovery; and the hope for the
future of the world is in the fact.
We are blessed by what we give
away, and the greatest of all gifts is
that. of self. It is easy to write a
•chequ'e and• the generous prompting
behind the contribution of money i$
admirable, but personal effort is bet-
ter and more beautiful still.
On every hand are selfish people
who have enriched themselves by tak-
ing' advantage of the need of others;
but what they buy for their ill-gotten
gains can hardly make them joyful
when their consciences are twinged
with the thought of how they made
the money.
Against these unsavory examples
let us set those others who for com-
munity,and country are doing all they
can, not sparing brain or soul or body
or business of their own. Recent years
have aboundingly shown us that kind
of men and women, and when we are
disheartened by the profiteers, let us
remember their very opposites, who
are "giving away" themselves and all
they have and are for the common
good. .
The best investment any man can
make is in the social welfare of his
fellows. What does it mean but envy
if he merely makes vast collections
that others may say, "Loolc how much
he has!" I•f a rich man is rich in
good works and kindly impulses and
a
democratic affability and a high sense
alike of public duty and of personal
honor, people do not begrudge hint
what -he has when he has "made his
pile" by his own downright toil. A
than' like Nathan Straus is held in
general esteem, For his philosophy is
also his practice,, and his acts accord
with his own words: "Where,there is
suffering, Jew and Christian are alike,
and I have given irrespective of faith.
I only hope that by so doing 1. may
set an example to other hien who are

Royal Ratepayers.
are all looking to get service and none
of us ready to give it. Pll around that
by saying few of us are ready to give
it; for a pitiful few among us still
have the old-fashioned idea that it is
better to give than to receive. Two
thousand years ago One came to the
earth who ,preached a new doctrine—
the doctrine that happiness lies only
along the line of doing for others. He
went about doing good, not seeking
money nor fame nor empty honors.
He was among men as Ono who serves
and in every generation since then
there have been a few who have fol-
lowed His example.
It is these few who will save the
world to -day, the few who are willing
to give with no thought of reward;
whose thought is of the quality of the
work they do and not of the a nouut
of pay they draw. The few who real-
ize that what the country needs is
deeds, not empty talk. They are not
making much stir; indeed, they are
scarcely noticed. Their quiet, self-
effacement is rather Scorned, but they
can afford to overlook the contempt
of men,.for they, only, have the key to
happiness.
Service is a grand word if we con-
sider it from the right angle. But we
must always think of it in the light
of what we give, and not what we are
to get. If we all make it our business
to give service, we can trust to getting
it.

It is generally presumed that all
Royal residences are free from rates,
but this is by no means the ease.
The only three that escape this taxa•
ion are Windsor Castle, Buckingham
Palace, and the greater portiou of St.
James's Palace,
1n the case of St. James's Palace,
the Ring, as an "act of grace,' pays to
the Weatminater City Council rates on
those portions of the old. palace that
are occupied by his entourage.
Queen Alexandra pays the full rates'
upon Marlborough House, which now
amount to over $30,000 a year, and the
King pays rates en. Sandringham,
York Cottage, and Balmoral. These
are all regarded as being the private
residences of the King and Queen
Alexandra, and not as "Royal palaces"
in the strict mete of the word.
