OUR MONEY NOT WASTED.

All of the money being expended
for war purposes is not going to be a
waste. Some of it is going to be
shot away; some of it is going to be
invested in machinery that will be
useless in time of peace.
But very great portion of it is
being spent for things that will be
as valuable when peace comes as
now, though not so imperatively
needed then-ships for instance.
And as for the immense amount spent
in adapting our manufacturing
plants e. var purposes, it is estimat-
ed that , per cent of our war ma

The invisible and intangible forces,
the moral forces of the world, the
soul and conscience of mankind are

The May issue of Everystudent,
the P. H. S. monthly publication,
shows a fine array of literary gems,
the work of the students, under the
tutelage of Prof Clark and the edl-

The Everystudent fairly blossoms
with good things gathered from the
garden of prose and poesy, and there
is not a dull line in the eight pages.
The contributions show cleVerneSs
in a high degree. Everystudent, IN
a few words, is entitled to the high
est rank in college publications. 10
use a homely phrase, cit is all there.
One of the best things in current
number is a humorous "take-oH on
the members of the 1918 graduating
class, depicting in a George Adeesque
way the good points, foibles ana
fancies of each member. Other nota-
BILE contributions are Prophecy For

seer and seeresses vizualize futures OF
the P. H. S. students; editorials
"Graduation-Then What?" The
Future of Everystudent;" plans
For commencement; Chapel

etc tribute to the graduating class,
in which the rhymster touches hu-
morously upon the lighter sides OF

Everystudent is a classy publlca-
ton, and the May number is like
refreshing shower during a drOuth.

DECLINED TO SALUTE
 HIS FORMER RULER
Soldier Frankly Informed Nicholas All Russians Were on Same
 Footing.

London, July 31.-(By Associated Press Correspondent recently in Ru- mania )-The American Red Cross Mission to Rumania travelled across Siberia in the train which had carried the former Emperor Nicholas and his family into exile at Tobolsk. The en- gfneer, conductor and trainmen were the same, and they told the Americans many interesting details of their iour- ney with the royal family
 The. conductor was an energetic little man who spoke French very well and had been employed on the Trans Siberian expresses for several years He was a thorough convert to the Bolshevik doctrine and showed no sympathy with the late emperor.
 Both Nicholas and his wife were disconsolate and dispirited during their trip with me-" he said. 'They seemed to think that there was little had been taken away from them Neither the guards nor the railway employees deigned to give them any salute or open mark of recognition, and in the little village stations where we stopped now and then the soldiers merely stared at the members of the royal party
 This lack of deferece seemed to hurt the former emperor's feeling. At one station, where he was permitted to walk up and down the platform in the sunshine with one of his armed guards, he spoke to a soldier
 Why do you not salute me?" he asked.
 'The soldier replied solemnly: You are no longer my emperor
 But I am still olonel in the Rus sian army said Nicholas.
 "The soldier hesitated only moment and then replied, Yes, but we are all equal now; the common soldier is as good as the officer. and there is no occasion for anybody saluting any body else.
 "Nicholas never complained about anything during the trip" said the conductor. He kept closely to his work of any kind. He ate very little food, while the guards fared sump- tOusly on poultry, fruit and wine. The guards were so busy drinking wine and playing cards that they had little time to devote to the royal party. It was very much like picnic for every body except Nicholas and his house hold"

War story writers need invent noth- ing to lend drama or comedy to battle glory to death in combat, Daily ac- counts from the front tell tales TO- mAncers would hesitate to use were their imaginations gifted with the power to invent them. One more story of a scene a stage director would reVel in producing was told to an audience in this city recently by the Rev. M. Borde D'Arrere, the fighting priest, of an American soldier he had part1c- ularly noticed because on the march he cheered his companions by singing the "Marseillaise." He sang it in a charge, was killed as he sang, and his companions took up the song as they charged on to victory,

The Toronto Riots.
(TOrOntO Globe. )

For three nights there has been dis order on the streets of Toronto. There has been much destruction of property, law has been set at de- 1iance, citizens have been injured, lives have been in danger. This kind of thing has got to be stopped. Properly constituted authority must act firmly and resolutely. The sober minded sense of the community de-
 nands it, and will range itself solidly and effectuany behind the police and the militia in dealing with the situa- ton.
 At noon Mayor Church issued an official proclamation calling upon all persons to refrain from taking part in parades or assemblages on the streets. This {; tron should be sup ported in a practical way by the community It is the duty of every citizens to avoid making one of a croWd-to keep off the streets where possible, and to proceed eNpeditiOus- ly on his way if good reason causes him to be about. 1t is difficult for the police, under circumstances such as have confronted them during re- cent disorders, to distinguish between hoodlums and bystanders.
 Ostensibly the cause of the riots was prejudice against alien store-
 keepers who had been allowed tC grow rich out of war business while Canadian soldiers gave their time, health and blood at $t.10 a day. The fact that these aliens were chiefly Creeks was merely an incident, al- though the fact that they belong to a. nation which is now one of the Allies gave a nasty international turn to the circumstance.
 A bill for $75, 900 will be presented to the city for the damage done to property by rioters Do taxpayers want more duns of the same kind |?

 Mr Baker holds that a married man oucht not to be put in the position or having to claim eXemption that the rules should determine the clasS1hcft- tion and that in a selective draft all moral responsibility should be assumed bv the government. That is point or view which might have been urged before. unofficially, but for the re- luctance on everybody's part to con- plain of any feature of draft proceed nre. lest criticism be exploited as op- Dosition Obviously, it is not fair that the registrant who has a wife and children to think of should be asked the question: DO you claim eXemp- tion?" That makes it necessary for the right sort of a man to choose between domestic responsibility and devotion to his country It should be enough for him to declare the facts. The classification, as MT. Baker says, should be determined by the rules provided that there shall be left to the individual the personal privilege of waiving exemption if he wishes to do so The question ought not to be asked But in a case where the rules exempt the man who wants to serve he should be permitted to waive them, and his choice should weigh.
