The COST OF WAR

Various estimates have been made
as to the cost of the great war, and,
although they vary somewhat widely,
it is practically certain that the di-
rect cost of the titanic conflict up to
date has been at least $75, 600, 000,-
900. And this, remember is only the
direct cost, measured in terms of mon
ey spent, and takes no account of
the tremendous indirect losses in life
and property. The wealth that
might have been added to the world
by the millions of men killed and in
capacitated is alone tremendous ad-
dition to the sum total Of the wars
cost. Estimating the population Of
the world at / 100000, the total
direct cost of the war to date, If it
could be equally apportioned between
every man, woman and child Of all
on tinents and races, would be about
1$45 per head. Owing to the increas-
ed cost of living, the inhabitants Of
neutral countries have had to pay
their share. 1t now seems certain
that the total cost Of the war-the di-
rect cost-will be at the very least
100000 100000. and the chances are
that it will vastly exceed that stagger-
ing sum.
A large part of the wars cost will
have to be paid by future generations.
Millions yet unborn must devote no
small part of their lives toward pay
ing the debts now being piled up. 1t
must be admitted, however, that all
of the nations are paying as they go
to an extent that seems almost incred-
ible. They are able to do this by
eliminating wasteful methods of pro-
duction and distribution, and by di
verting to warfare the vast sums pre-
viously spent on luxuries and self-in-
dulgences. Except for this war on
waste all of the fighting nations
would now be bankrupt. Many Of 1.-The
theories Of socialistic economics have
been put into effect in order to car
ry on the war, and it is. doubtful
if the world will ever completely re-
turn to the old wasteful and haphaz-
ard methods &C production. To that
extent, at least, the war may pay a
dividend on the enormous investment.
If democracy be completely trium-
plant, the war may in the end prove

The CANADIAN
SEMI-CENTENARy

This is one of the red letter dates
in the Dominion of Canada's semi
centenary year. as it was on the 28th
Of March, 1867, that the British North
America act received the assent of
Queen Victoria. This act, which had
been passed by the Imperial Parlia-
ment, became the constitution of the
new nation which was formally insti-
tuted on the first Of July following.
By this act of confederation Upper
and Lower Canada became the provin-
ces Of Ontario and Quebec, and, with
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, con-
stituted tire original provinces of the
Dominion. Prince Edward Island
and Newfoundland were represented
in the early conferences looking to
confederation, but both withdrew
Manitoba entered the Dominion as a
province in 1870, British Columbia in
1871. and Prince Edward Island in
1878. Alberta and Saskatchewan
were made provinces in 1905. Several
attempts to bring about the inclusion
Of Newfoundland have been made,
but so far, without avail. An ambi-
tious scheme for joining Newfound-
land and the British West Indies to
Canada has lately been suggested as
one of the possibilities of the near fu-
ture.
Sir John Macdonald, who became
the first Premier of the Dominion, was
the recognized leader of the Fathers
of. Confederation" and was chairman
Of the delegates who went to London
to see the bill through the Imperial
Parliament. Sir John favored the
title Of Kingdom of Canada for the
new nation, and it was so designated
in the first draft of the act. Others of
the Fathers" opposed this title as be-
ing objectionable to the republican
sentiments animating the greater part
of the New World, and likely to give
offense to the people of the United
States. The latter view was shared
by the British. Foreign Secretary
Lord Stanley, and Kingdom was
changed to Dominion"
While the British government serv-
ed as the principal model Of the ma
kers Of the new nation, and the whole
system conformed as far as possible
to the constitution of Great Britain
the geographical, historical and po-
litical necessities Of the situation de-
manded an administrative scheme that
was, in many respects, similar to the
system ir vogue in the United States
The two great English-speaking dem
ocracies, one Of the Old World and
one OF the New, thus afforded object
lessons for the Canadian nation build
ers to follow.
Although a human institution, and
therefore imperfect, it is generally adj
mitted that the Canadian government
leaves-as Ridpath wrote-'little to
be desired" The American historian
added "In fact, the Canadian gov
eminent is not far removed from a
model"
AS Canada benefited by the exper-
fence and the mistakes of older dem
ocracies, so she has served to no small
extent as a model for the newer ma
tons of the British Empire-Austra-
liza. New Zealand and the Union Of
South Africa.

SPANISH TRADE

can Goods With Big

Madrid, March 28-There are some
curious features of the increase in
trade between Spain and America
which has resulted from the subma-
rine war and the cutting of Germany's
trade with Spain. While American
automobiles are having a great boom
in Spain, they have one curious draw
back in not being able to bring along
the American tires, as these are rub
Der and contraband of war, subject to
all kinds Of restrictions and regula-
tiQns.
The American -uto-trucks are
causing a revolution II Madrid along
three distinct lines; first, doing away
with the huge antique carts which
labor along the streets; second, sup
planting the long tandem teams of
oxen and donkeys, covered with jing-
ling bells; and, finally, changing Mad
rid from one of the worst paved cap
Iitals of Europe to one of the best. The
Spaniards look with awe at the dis
appearance of their ancient methods
before the march of improvement.
A complication has, arisen over the
shipment of American meat to Spain.
The Spanish ships were glad to get
this class of freight, but the ships
were not provided with the necessary
refrigerating plant. AS this is essen
| tial for shipping meat long distances,
many Spanish ships are being over
hauled to put in the modern cold
storage equipment SO as to handle
this new class of American product.
Once equipped this way, fresh Span
ish fruit will be going to America, and
fresh American meat coming to Spain.
American flat-irons and other cleo
trical novelties are now being used
for the first time, and the Spaniards
say these articles are SO much better
finished than the German goods that
used to come here that they will hold
the market permanently even if Ger
man trade gets footing again after
the war. Even American drugstores

Madrid.
Besides stepping into the place Of

Spain good deal of the American
trade in perfumes, toilet articles and
soaps, which used to go from France
i in large quantities. Some of these
articles, such as CASTLE soap, have
their origin here in CASTLE.
1t is in the American demand for
their art treasures that the Spanish
are taking their chief interest. Buy

been for a recent complication at the
New. York custom house. The pic
lures actually went to New York, were
held on the pier for some time because
of irregularities in making out papers,
and were finally sent back here un-
opened. The owner had meantime
made two trips to New York, but at
last gave up the shipment as hope
