A despatch from Rome says:- The citizens of Fiume have determin- ed to risk all on the proclamation of the city's independence of the king- dom. This move will be made because, after paying revenues to the state, Fiume has not enough resources to maintain its existence. The city's only source of income is derived from the sale of tobacco. Of this there is plenty, but the revenue. from its sale alone will not support the city. Anxiety exists here and in Fiume about the constitution of that city, which has already been drawn up. To most people it appears too radical and the Republican party in Fiume has told D'Annunzio and the National Council that a constituent assembly must approve it. It seems D'An- nunzio has agreed to call a constituent assembly if all parties do not agree to the constitution before September 12 next, the date fixed for the pro- clamation of independence.

Daily Newspapers of London Raise Rates A despatch from London says:- All the London daily newspapers ex sept Lord Northcliffe's Daily Mail an Evening News will increase thei prices on Sept. 20 next. The Timegoes to 8 cents, the Morning Post an Daily Telegraph to 6 cents, the Dail News• and Chronicle to 4 cents.

Canada's total revenue for the month just closed was $11,374,- 290.98, as against $5,251,801,41 for the corresponding month of last year, The increase in the amount of war tax wiped out the decrease of $198,915.76 in the total amounts received from ex- cise and seizures, fines, methylated spirits and law stamps, and left a net increase in Inland Revenue for the month of $6,122,489.57. The total revenue for the fiscal year, ending March 31 last, was slight- ly over $58,£00,000. A very conserva- tive estimate, based on the August to- tals, places the total collections for the current year at approximately $115,000,000. However, it is expected that the total revenue for the fiscal year will be $150,000,000 or more. The luxury and sales tax collections, it isth stated, are expected to show a sub- stantial increase in coning mons. Canadian Coal Production Falls Below Expectations A despatch from Montreal says:-- According to latest reports received here, coal production is not nearly up to expectations in Canada though she is rich in measures of coal both in her most easternly and her. two most westernly provinces. Her central provinces, however, are dependent on foreign coal as a basis of their in- dustries and home.• The outstanding feature of the situation is a decline in production and many times it has been feared that a coal famine would take place as the coal fields of the Donih- ion are undeveloped. The total pro- duction for the last calendar year of the Dominion was thirteen and a half million tons below the maximum out- put of the Canadian mines, which was reached in 1913, figures that year be- ing 15,012,178 tons. The falling off in production is sta- ted to be greater in Nova Scotia than any other province in the Dominion. In 1913 Nova Scotia produced 8,000; 000 tons, while in 1919 she produced only 5,700,000 tons, British Officers Escaped by Airplane A despatch from London says:-Thesituation in Mesopotamia shows im- provement in the disturbed areas, but is becoming tenser in districts ;lot yet in open rebellion, according to a War Office. communication en Thursday.
