She was walking nervously back

pats to the clothes which were hung

She was serious, but 1t could not

Canada's Part in the War.
Newark News.


 The Dominion of Canada begins to ap. preciate some of the financial conse- quences of war. It has sent troops to the front and in other respects has acted as loyal daughter of the mother country. But all this costs money, and it finds Itself in need of s30,000,000 additional revenue.
 Part of this will be required because of the loss of trade abroad, anu IL mas therefor increased it's general tariff seven and one-half per cent. in the general and intermediate rates and five per cent. on the British preferen- tial rates, the latter DeIng the lower tariff placed on goods imported from Great Britain. Both advances are al- ready in operation by action of par liament early in the present month.
 The making good of trade losses would merely enable the Dominion to break even. But she has not only re- ceiyed less revenue, she has increased her expenditures on account of the war. To meet this emergency re- quirement special taxes have been levied which are expected to produce about sS,000,000 and increased Cana dian customs between $20,000, 900 and 5,0OO,000.
