The Outlook. Field Marshal French is deter mined to have munitions in order to save the lives of as many of bis brave men as possibls and from this we take it that srtillery will be brought into play on a scale hitherto uraltempted by any of the belligerents. It ie obrions by now that the war is not to be allowed to resolve itself into a long-drawn-out process of attrition, slow, ansatisfactory and costly. Undoubtedly time is on the side of the Allier, but if speed and power are developed in the operations of their armies, as we have every reason to believe is already planned, it will mean a saving of men, money and re- Bodices. The sufferings of the people of Belgium end of the occupied provinces of France the greatest incentive to speedy solion, A wer of attrition would only accentuate the misery of the unfortunata people in these devastated territories, and swift retribution is demanded.

Having regard to the fact that it is not yet three years since they authorised an increase of $124,000, in the issue of the one-dollar nutes, any application for permission now to further increase the issue would, we imagine, stand very little chance of access.
