The Poor Horse.

The soldier is by no means the only sufferer in the terrible trag edy of war, His triumphs and dangera in battle arenobly shared by the horse. It has been es timated by a competent authority that the average life of a horse on the firing line in France is about ten daye, and when it is stated that at least two million animals Are constantly in use in the two great war theatres some slight ides may be gathered of the frightful sacrifice made by man's dumb ally.

The trade of Japan, like that of every other commercial country, has suffered by the out- break of war, but the employment returns show that in certain lines of trade steady recovery has al ready set in, owing to increased demands from China for manu...... factured articles which formerly came from Germany and Austria.

From the Literary Digest (New York) to hand we note that a writer endeavours to explain the somewhat peculiar position that Holland has occupied since the outbreak of the great war. The « writer says that little Holland; surrounded on every side by the welter of war, is trying desperately to maintain neutrality, Various reports have pictured popular sympathy as favouring one side or the other, depending perhaps on the feeling of those the corres pondent had been talking with. Reports, however, in the Dutch presa appear to indicate strong feeling against both Germany. and England against Germany. because of the fear of aggression, and against England because of her interference" with Dutch
