THE French people are being taxed
to a frightful extent to pay their
enormous war debt and for vast sums
spent in improbable foreign enter
prises. Every article of food and raj
ment, every business transaction,
even every door and window in a
house bears its especial burden. And
yet we read of the budget committee
of the Assembly listening with favor
to a proposition of Gen. Boulanger
that an appropriation of 25,Oo0,0OO
francs shall be made to purchase a
supply of new and particularly deadly
explosive bombs! That's the way
the money goes!

THE London police have a theory
concerning the man who was found
bleeding and senseless in compare
ment of q first.class car, and who has
remained unconscious ever since.
They think he stuck his head out the
window and let it bump along the SIDE
of a. tunnel through which the train
passed. This is not a very ingenious
theory, but something must be done
to save the reputation of the compart-
ment car.
