The coat of living in England has
risen 43 per cent. since the war be-
together up to the end of May‘gan. Just another little reminder of
what war means. In this case the alt-
about 2300 lustion is made all the worse by thaflo
those of ppanCe 1 500, 000 and l fact that a lot of merchants and man
Mnemsflufacturers are making big fortunes

all the regular military forces existing
in the belligerent countries when the

That would provide enough men to

cod of Europe is being cut down by

fast as prices.
In Germany, with more real scarcity
of foodstuffs, prices in general are a
good deal lower. That is because the
German goIornment has arbitrarily
regulated prices. But German pages
are low too. The restriction of one
seems to restrict the other. For that
reason, largely, the ‘British govern-
ment, while desirous of lowering the
price of food, hesitates to adopt such
an cxtreme'sociaiistic method. Great
--Britain, in spite of her socialistic trend
in recent years, and the socialtistic
nature of several of her Ivar measures
still believes in individual freedom
and economic competition. The war is
testing economic princples no less
than mlitary strength.

The latest temperance reformer is

Senator Harvey P. Bissell, of Ridge.
pany, of that place. has been appointed
a member or the pharmacy commis-
sion of Connecticut. He has already
taken olilce. .,
macy not increased the number or
commissioners from three to live. This,
of course, made necessary the appoint-
ment of two more commissioners, and
‘Mr. Bissell was one of those chosen.
in addition, he is the senator from the
twenty-fourth district.
Mr. Bissell is a graduate of a college
he had been very successful in his.
mission in the United States.
Germans who went to the "pier

it is VEly generally understood that
eIer since Dcrnburg has been in tip
United States his presence has been
embarrlsslng to Count von Bernstorff,
the German Ambassador to the Unit-
ed States. It was understood in Wash-
ington that the German embassy
would like to see him get out. I
the prohibition decrees the belliger-
ent governments a promise of world-
wide abstinence from alcchol after the
war. “Men everywhere have learned
that alcohol lowers human efficiency.”
they argue, "and when peace comes
they will seek the highest industrial
omelency by banishing alcohol for
30W!
Possibly they will. But it is also
possible that, following the tremend-
ous strain of war, with all human pow4
era and emotions at their highest
tension, there will come a period of
relaxtion characterized by alcoholic
excesses and a. general loosening of
morals. Some observant philosophers
believe that the abstaining nations
will go on an awful spree when the
war is over.

granted in, any of the coil mining
districts of Grant Britain has just
been awarded to the 200,000 _ miners
employed in the districts preside over
by the Coal Conciliation, Board for
England and North Wales.
The award gives an advance of. 151/;
per cent. from May stitch the actual
wages earned by men on that date
This is equivalent to an adVance of
25 per cent. on the ctr-called standard
fixed under the Minimum Wage Act.
A coiliery owner testified at the last
meeting of the board that many of his
men were earning $5 a day under the
old standard. It is expected that the
granting of this latest advance Willa
greatly stimulate'the production, as
the narrow margin of coal on hand is
causing the government much anxiety
The Conciliation Board, in granting
the increase, added the following
statement: ,
'The-board strongly urges all min
are" associations to take such steps
as, in their judgment, are neednt to
ensure the fullest pussiblo attendance
at their work of all workmen in the

urea of last year’s receipts for the
same period, that, with the April de-
ficit, the revenues forthe four months
of 1915 show a loss of $8,183,709 over
the same period of 1914.
The principal deficits lie in the re-
ceipis from the inheritance taxes, and
in_ the excise on sugar. The former
fell $1,065,600 short of last year’s fig-
ures, while the latter fails by 3338.1
800 of touching the sum received from
that source in April. 1914.
The immense increase in taxation
which will be necessary to pay the
expenses ‘of mobilization, and. the
large number of laborers out of work
through the suspension of industries
virtually affected or temporarily dis-
commoded by the long continuance of
hostilities, makes the outlook for the
taxpayer in the Netherlands far from
bright. Already, the three great
cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam and
The Hague, aggregating almost a
million and a half souls, have estab—
lished municipal distribution of bread
to the needy and issued bread cards
to those in want.
