The Price of Freedom. Britain's daily expenditure on the war from April to the 12th of June has been at the rate of £2,000,000 and Mr. Asquith, in asking the House of Commone last week to vote more funds, beld cut no hope of the expenditure diminiebing. On the contrary he anticipated that ere long the war expenditure would be three: millions a day. It is the potional rolicy to parcue the war at any cost to a victorious issue, but at suches price victory cannot come a day too soon. The burden on the British taxpayer is already a heavy one. Not only is ordinary taxation screwed up to a point unknown for many years preced-w ing the outbreak of war, but the market prices of life's necessition have materially incressed in apite of the efforts of the Government to keep them down." To those with fixed incomes the outlösk is. pone too tright.

A Social Problem. The enactment of a simple and inexpensive procedure for legal adoption would enable mothera. of so-called illegitimate children ia at once remove all stigma from their offspring, who would be enabled to take their place in the world as responsible citizens. The child could, of course, be adopted either under the name of the mother or that of the father. The only objection to the former, from the social point of view, is our modern distinoticBo-
tween Miss or Mre," a "dietino- tion quite unknown up to The time of Pepys and later. At the same time, there is nothing to prevent an unmarried woman calling beraelf Mrs. if she chooses to do so, and it may well be contended that the adoption of a child under a Law of Adoption would give her the necessary excuse for doing so. Though, as we have faid, the problem is at the moment receiving mach attention, the results of investigas tions so far conducted by philan- thropic organisations do co appear to reveal such a state of affaira as is likely to induce the Government to seriously consider, any legislation ff:cting in this connection the established accial law and customs of the country,

The Submarine Menace. In addition to the Lusitanis, there have recently been sunk, the three-masted schooner Earl of Lathom on May 5 and the Hare ritoa linera Candidate and Cen», turion on May 16 The British Cayo Romano, which was chased near the Fastnet and fred at by: a submarine, succeeded in escap ing and the steam collier Olivia had a similar Larrow escape off, the Waterford coast. It seems that there is not in all cases an attempt to conform to the in ternational rules of warfare by even an examination fosscertain uat onality or whether there is con iraband of war aboard, indeed in many cares, as in the case of the Lusitania, the torpedo is fred without eny warning whatever. All this may reem unestisfactory, particularly as there is nothing, 88 far as the Navy is concerned which seems to balance the no- count. But it can surely be borne in mind that there are no German ships, either naval or mercantile, on the high sose, and that the German Fleet continues to remain within its base: If it does mova out, as has been the case once or twice within the last two or three months, it quickly returns 10 ite well-defended hiding-place on any indication of the Admiral Jellicos a ilal fleet.
