NOTES AND COMMENTS At the enol of two years the Euro - 5can war Will have cost between 8r 00,000 and 4,000,000 lives, as nearly as one can estimate the toll, not count- ing the hopelessly disabled, which add perhaps 40' per cent. snore, The maimed who will still be able to ;pro- duce their own sustenance are a sepa- rate number, Never before has hu man material been used up at such a rate as this. During the whole nine- teenth century the cost of the world's wars in male life probably did not exceed 5,000,000 men, That ineludes the ten Napoleonic years; in which the total lads of life must have beenbe- tween 2,000;000 and 2.500,000, or from 1 to lYe per cent, of the population of Europa at that time. When you think of it in percentage it is not so terrible, at least not at first. Thus, a toll of 1 per cent. oflatirepe's population for the Napoleonic' wars is a reckoning which in its statistical interest seems almost unimportant. And, likewise,' the population of Europe having 'much more than doubt, ed in the meantime, it is' surprising td find that the toll of between 3,500;000 and 4,000,000 lives chargeable to the present war at the end of its second. year will be less\than 1 per cent, of the people inhabiting Europe It is even 'comforting, and one will prefer to think of it statistically saying that. though actually the wastage of life is staggering, relatively it is not so. HE BUILT COFFINS Gun on Champagne Front lies Served Since Beginning. despatch from London says 'Thera is a "soix-ante-quinze" in sm.= vice still on the Champagne front which has been in action ever since the opening of the war. It is believ- ed this, gun is about the "sole sur- vivor" of the early clays of -the strug- gle and that its record to date of 18,- 830 8;830 shots fired is far away ahead of any . other gun. Naturally the piece has not come through all this enscar- red. More than once it has looked like a case of "knockout," but each time its lucky star has saved it, and although the gun carriage is all bat- tered and bruised the cannon itself is as good as it was and its men firm- ly believe it will outlive the war.

There is a constant elimination of the less adaptive, or a running out of the unchosen lines which -have not the qualities naturally preferred for perpetuation. This proc- ess has been thought to account for•.. perhaps 5 per cent, of each genera- tion. Thus, one does not have to go, back many generations to :find the a- pex of the existing racial structure.

A despatch from Paris says: After nearly two weeks of quiet, when even the artillery was subdued, the Ger- mans have resumed their attacks on Verdun with a violence exceeded but few times since their offensive began on Feb. 21. The lull along the Meuse had lasted so long and had been so pronounced in all arms that the people of France were coming to believe that the ex- haustion of the Crown Prince's organ- • leaden, combined with the Russian. drive in the east, spelt abandonment of active operations -against the city. The attacks on Thursday, • however, are evidence that the German com- mand is not yet willing to admit the failure of the three months' effort. Friday's French official report ad- mits that the Germans have gained another step in their progress toward Verdun by capturing French positions north-east of that fortress.

What are you When the Prince of Wales got short leave to go to Buckingham Palace to , say `'good -bye" --to his parents and brothers and sister before going to the front, Prince John asked hien: "What are you going to do when, you get there, David?" (David being the name by which he is called at home). "David" rubbed his 5chin and smil- ed, "I thihk I'll gro'ty a beard for one thing," he answered,. Figuratively speaking, the Prince I of Wales has "grown a beard" since the war began -that is to say, lie has ceased to be a boy and has become a man. The change is very apparent to all who come in contact with him. Always inclined to seriousness, he has taken his shore in the war very seriously indeed. IIis staff work has included carrying despatches, acting as interpreter, superintending the making of trenches, and duty as as- sistant transport offices, and he has been in imminent danger of death scores of times. There is nothing aggressive about the personality of "P. W.," but he has a quiet way of standing no non- sense. One day at the front he was on duty watching transport wagons be- ing filled Packages were being thrown up to the man in the wagon, whoseduty it was to count them out loudly,,pausing as each fresh 25 pack- ages Were reached. The man in the wagon, "tried it on" with the Prince; to save himself trouble he started calling out "25" when he should have been saying "20,' But it did net work. "Twenty-five already?" said the Prince blandly. "l, make it 20. One of us is wrong Just unload the whole wagon and begin from the beginning again.

Another instructive case came be- fore the Ottawa .Police Magistrate recently. A teamster damaged a city shade tree by wilfully backing his wagon against it.

If the efforts that: aro now being made by the London Hairdressers' As- s abolition of tipping i n for the ,-Octal 0 meet with success, there will be much jubilation among the many long-suf- fering victims of the system, and no doubt an equal, amount of regret among those who have profited by its continuance, says The Dundee Adver- tiser. The habit of giving gratuities would appear to be a very old one, for as far back as 1785 it prevailed. At that date we find a worthy man bit- terly complaining of the tips expected Iby all the suiq:ry when putting up fr. horse at an inn. Over and above the ordinary bill he must give a shilling to the waiter, to the chambermaid six- pence, to the ostler sixpence and six- penco to the bootjacks, making two shillings and sixpence in all. The next morning at breakfast it was necessary to give sixpence between the waiter and the ostler. That was for one night's .stay only. But if the traveler merely put up for, refreshment, be- sides paying a boy to mind the horses, the ostler again made threepence; at tea, waiter and ostler shared sixpence. Thus the old-time traveler gave away two shillings and sixpence a clay in tips, which, added to the two shillings and sixpence overnight, made a total of five shillings a d'ay.
