The Isle of Man has self-govern- ment in regard to all taxation, and in a number of other ways is self-gov- erning, says a London despatch. The residents are patriotic and the Legislature has carried a resolution requesting the Imperial Government to extend t d the Military Service Ant to the island. The Legislature has in- creased the tobacco duties and those on imported spirits and beer to the British scale and the home browing rates pro rata. Employment Offices Essential. There should be a farmers' employ- ment office in each town and village so farmers could put in their applica- tions for men and men could pot in their applications for work, and the two parties could thus sort themselves out and get together with some sys- tem and some satisfaction. Live may- ors and reeves in Canada are taking fletkinitiative in this matter and not a bit too soon.

To Satisfy Herself Munition Work Wasn't Too Hard for Girl. How thoroughly the royal family is at one with the people in the present situation has been shown both by the King's informal visit to the battle front and by the Prince of Wales' re- turn to duty before the expiration of his leave, Since his return his Ma- jesty and the Queen have been busy visiting munition factories and equip - meat works, At a factory at Walthamstow the Queen, as ever, was chiefly interest- ed In the girl and women workers, among whom she mingled with her usual cheery smile, chatting most of the time—when not passing a few words with the girls—with Mrs.. Phipps, the organizer. The Queen, impressed by the ape pearance of the girls, remarked to Mrs. Phipps they seemed to be girls of a very superior type, when one of he conducting party remarked, "Yes, your Majesty, we are some stunt on hese girls." Tho Queen looked puzzled, not un- erstanding the slang, but quietly auglhed with pleasure when it was xplained that what the official meant as that their experience in the em- loyment of female labor had been al- ogether satisfactory. Queen Alexandra has been busy, oo, visiting factories with Princess Victoria, throwing out a useful woad r two of advice as it occurred„ to er practical mind. In one shop she aw a girl wielding a hammer and unching identification marks on a ell. She thought this must be very eavy wort-' for a girl, but to the neon's inquiry the girl smilingly plied it was quite simple now she ad grown accustomed to it.

The comparative losses of live sto y the warring and neutral nations urope and the general effect on the eat supply may be judged from fi ores announced by the United Stet ood Administration. As regards meal;, the Central Pow rs were much better prepared for th ar than the Allies. Although t Utes possessed a greater' total nem er of meat animals, the Central Po ,e had forty-two per cent, more pe apita. This advantage .amounted to irty-three animals of all classes per le hundred population. Due apparently to acquisition of nimals by conquest, Germany has not aughtered her home supply of live ock as rapidly as otherwise would ve been necessary. There is now a actical exhaustion of animals in elgiur , Serbia and Rumania as a re - It of invasion, according to inform - ion from very reliable sources. In tal animals the Allies have decrease their herds and flocks 45,787,000 ad, while Germany has decreased rs about 18,000,000—only slightly ore than a third as many.
