The court requires them to show a lease or agreement, or there is 'nothing doing." It would not be surprising if the Ontario Legislature. at fits coming session decided to tax the lands up 'on which churches stand. The move would be a very popular one ani would certainly be more reasonable than the 1awWPrequiring the churches to pay garbage tax. 'Germany must be dispossessed of everything she holds in Russia.

The greatéSt and most {drreparable loss entailed in the war is, of course. the loss of human life It is! the Breategt because life is a priceless thing and no value can be set upon (it. Still, in economics, as in ali other sciences, in treating of man emotional considerations are set aside, and a purely economic value, lin terms of money, has been placed {upon the individual, based upon his i potential productive power Thus M. Barriol, the celebrated actuary, gives the following figures as the | capital value of man: In Great Bri- tain, $4,140; in the United States, $4,100; in Germany, $3,380; in France, $2,900; in Russia, $2,020; |in AustriaHungary, $2,020, or an (average capital value PFor--the fiva { European nations of $2,892. The mumber of men already lost is 8.- 509000 killed and 7,175,000 per- manently wounded. Thus socioty has been impoverished 'to the extent of $45,000,000,000. { A PROUD PEOPLE SPILL. | Germany has gone pretty far in |humbling herself to ask for peace, {declares Prince Maximilian, the "a vie- world that the . Germans are proud people, accustomed to tory." The success of her past wars made her proud and arrogant, ang she gradually came to believe. that she "could lick the world." That belief has been her undoing, though the world has had dbepay a frightral price in teaching her the lesson that eursed are the war-makers. Before the world can again be made safe this proud German people must be humiliated and hecome accpstomed to defeats. They are getting less proud. every day the Allied drive continues, and a complete defeat, which is not far off, will furnisi thew: with the necessary humility to accept any terms which the Allies may care to grant them. "A proud people, accustomed to must be made humble and submis- sive.. : ------------------ FUEL CONDITIONS. The city's fuel commissioner fis now thoroughly cognizant : of tha local conditions and is working in complete harmomy with the coal dealers. If the people carry out Lhs advice given them of augmenting their hard coal allotment with a supply of soft coal or coke, thefe should be no shortage or hardship experienced during the severe cold weather of January and February. During the present days we must have warm houses, but the neces- sary warmth can be acquired by us- ing soft goal, coke and hardwood. Later a mixture of soft and hara coal may be necessary, and he will be a wise householder who econ- serves his limited supply of hard coal till after New Year's day. The churches are callea: upon to do their share in coal conservation, There will have to be doubling up in services unless the churches se- Gure their heat largely from soft coal. - The hard coal must be saved for the homes. Just how the busi. ness houses, theatres, ete, are goiag to come out can hardly be foretold The schools have sufficient coal tur the winter and have already saved nearly a month's fal] supply owing to two periods of enforced closing. The fuel commissioner will not sug- gest closing the schools, for he ro- cognizes that many children get 2 they do not enjoy at home. Tho Sunday school, too, must be kept: open fog there many children als feceive & much needed "shin heat." ---------- Capt. Thomas Prescott Wounded, Mrs. J.

In concluding (Col, Kirpatrick recited a list of German atrogjties which he came in contact with during his life in prison.

He commenced by paying a splendid trilfute to the glorious reputation of the Kirkpatricks. = "It is hard," he said, "to speak on a subject when the audience knows' as much about it as the speaker does. | It is really unnecessary to give rhe reasons for buying Vv ctory Bonds, The only real reason is absolute in- ability to repay for them, It not patriotism to lend money to tha Gov- ernment at five and a half per cent., but good business.

Wages 1056 and] there has been unprecedented pros-| perity. In 1914 Canadian exports were $50,000,000 and in 1917 $450.1 000,000, because Canadians have; financed these supplies. It is essen~ tial to give money in order that thigy prosperity may be maintained, "In money Canada has done equal- ly well. The Canadian people have lent the Government $750,000,000. and have advanced $200,000,000 to the British Government. It is obyi- ous that war cannot be prosecuted | without money, and so Canada asks| her people to lend her the money to] prosecute the war." The people of | this country are the Government and | in lending to the Government they | are bringing prosperity to themselves and to the country, 'Some say that peace is at band, | but the Prussians will fight hard to] avoid a defeat that means g humiljat- ing curtailment of power. They will] fight hard to try to avoid the inevit-| able. It is possible that their leaders | may order them to fight on the the end. So we must not make the blun-| der of slackening effort because we think the end is near, because that! will comfort the enemy, "Sir Thomas White sends this mes- sage for me to deliver to the people of Kingston, Let them make no mis- take. Let them put the Government in a position to carry on. If con-| tinued prosperity is wished, Canada | must finance Britain's purchases here, | I am confident that Kingston and| Canada will do all that is required. There are 400,000 men to be demo- bilized within a year or two after the end of the wir. There are 300.000 | men on war work who will lose em- | ployment-- The Government must | have the money to solve the problem | of looking after the returned men, and seeing that they are finally set-| tled in useful citizenship,' | Mr. Nickle explained how the! banks would lend money to those de-| sirous of buying bonds. To those who | did not understand banking and de-| sirous to secure bonds, Mr. Nickle of-| fered to advance the money on the | same terms as tie banks. In con-| clusion he told of the widows who | have given their all. Surely, then, it | is no sacrifice for others to lend their | money at five and a half per cent. After a few appropriate remarks| by Mayor Hughes, a most enthusias- tic rally concluded with the singing of "O Canada" and the National An- them, } ------------ When Hon. T.
