When the final re- turns were received Monday night it was found that the City of Toronto and all the other large cities in Can- ada, the Province of Ontario, and all the other provinces with one possible exception, and the Dominion as a whole, appeared to forget that there were such things as objectives, for the objectives were left so far be- hind that they seemed unimportant thin.gs. Toronto, for example, started with an original objective of $80,- 000,000, and did not stop until the wonderful total of $144,9641,100 had been piled up.' The Province of On- tario, setting out with the aim of raising $250,000,0000, or -half the loan returned the astonishing total of. i829,679,000, while (the grand total for the Dominion, as an- nounced at Massey Hall' on Monday night, was $676,027,211. When one takes into consideration the fact that -the Dominion total more than doubles the estimate of $ 00 000,000, made by Sir Thomas bite, Munster of Kronprinz Wilhelm and Bayern, both new dreadnoughts completed since 1916, Markgraff, Konig and Grosser Kur- fuerst of the Konig , dreadnought class completed in 1914 and. 1915.

Though Sir Thomas asked for at least $300,000,000, the Dominion workers informed him they would set out with an objective of $421,- 000,000, which was the sum actually raised during the 1917 campaign, and they added to this the hope that they might reach $500,000,000. Now with $676,027,217 to be placed in the hands of the Finance Minister dur- ing the next year, it will be seen that • even the most rosy ambitions Of the Dominion Organization have been far surpassed. By piling up $829,679,000, as On- tario's share of the 1918 Victory Loan the citizens of this province have declared their spirit in a mag- nificent manner, and they almost made gisod the boast of Mr. G. H. Wood, chairman of the provincial executive, that Ontario could raise as much money as the rest of Can- ada. Though falling just a little short of ' that high ambition, Onterie fare exceeded her objective of $Z0,- 000,000. At the same time she set other records.

The Americans have declared that all their fallen shall be brought back when once the war is over, and that they shall be buried in the Homeland. To them, in the newness of their. loss and in the comparatively short time their men have been engaged, no anc- ient sorrows will be brought again to light. For time does dull the pain of loss sustained, and in the glory .of the sacrifice our boys have made, we whom they, died for, become recon- ciled to the decree of fate. Hence, What good purpose would be served in bringing back all that remains of our best and bravest. When we consider, the blood of our boys has sanctified the land on which they fought and died; and when we also reflect that in their .narrow beds, crowned with the little white cross, tenderly cared for, they sleep so peacefully: Would it not be to their GERMANY HANDS OVER FLEET Vice-Armidral Sir David Beatty, commander of the Grand- Fleet, receiv- ed Rear -Admiral von Meuner and the 5 other German naval delegates aboard the flagship Queen Elizabeth in the Firth of Forth, Scotland, on Friday evening.

Admiral Meurer sat opposite Ad-, miral Beatty, who had fronting him a model of the battle cruiser Lion, a -moment° of his famous • flagship, while on the cabin wall at his back was a fine picture of Nelson. The Ger- man civilian delegates remained aboard the Koengisburg. The conference was resumed Satur- day and was concluded Sateiday evening. Among Admiral Meurer's staff were a Zeppelin commander aed a submarine commander. ' As a result of the ikonference tbe German naval envoy's have agreed to surrender of the German fleet,the esti- mated value ef which is $350,000,000. The German fleet is to be taken to the Orkney Islands off Northern Scotlend, it is understood.
