Poor Belgium has had and will continue to have for this

much of hardship and loss for standing by principle g
to bend the knee. It takes courage and backbone to take such a
stand. Many a people would have meekly yielded to the imperious
demand, but the Belgians were made of better stuff and although it
may be difficult to see hold they are to regain what has been lost
as a people they stand 'before the world as "bricks" and if the voice
of the world has anything to say as to what Belgium is to have in

War is one of the most expensive games that can be played. In
the British, House of Parliament last week the enormous amount
• . of $1,125,000,000 largely for the sinews of war was asked for. $500,000
000 had been granted before for the same purpose. While the na-
tional debt mounts skywards the sentiment of the British people is
"We will see this thing through." It is said 700,000 recruits have
joined the British army since the war started in addition to nearly
300,000 territorials. The commissary department must have a big job
on their hands,
117 days gone by since war was declared by Germany. It would
require more 'than a seer to forecast what may happen in the forth

Most people have, deep down 11'1
their natures, a private and uncon-
ressed faith in dreams, premonitions,
forebodings, says the Toronto Star.
Some hard-headed business men will
not start on an important journey nor
embark on a big business venture on
a Friday, although they do not actually
Bay so, and you may do business with
them for years Without finding it out.
They contrive matters so that it is
never necessary to admit that they
have a fear of Friday. ' It would be
too absurd a thing to admit, and they
do not actually confess it to them-
selves. Or if they ever admit it to
themselves or to their closest friends
they speak of it, not as a real super -

whch interests and amuses them. The
present age is one of levity, but the
truth is that mankind .1s strongly pre-
' disposed towards superstition and to

Strange stories are told in connec-
