DAILY EDITION ~ yee It looks wonderfully good on paper to shown that the city’s electric light bill has been reduced from 18 cts, per kwt. When it is looked into, however, it ap- pears to be more of a shadow than the real bone. Under the old method of charging, be hour to 11 ets. 25 per cent reduction was allowed for) prompt payment, which, of course, most people took ad- vantage of. Under the new sys- “tem there is no discount allow- ed. Ordinarily, then, there should be a saving, but the strange thing is that the amount paid seems to be about the same as It’s the old story of making the people believe they are getting something when they are get- ting nothing. * however? even formerly. The rumor, long current, that the Orangemen of Belfast had given their rifles to the Belgians has been confirmed. Sir Edward Carson was asked ‘ about a month ago to come to the Belgians’ help with a large number of rifles of the excel- lent pattern which Ulster vol- unteers were known to possess. Sir Edward at first refused, on the ground that the Home Rule danger was still imminent. Subsequently the Ulster Coun- cil decided to throw their whole influence on the side of Ear! Kitchener's new army and gave the rifles.

The Times says: “We may say that we ourselves re- ceive many more accounts of the deeds of cruelty and lust than we publish, and that we publish only those which seem to us, so far as we can judge, to be most worthy of belief. We have published such state- ments as we have published be- cause there is a mass of evi- dence accumulating to the ef- fect that atrocities are being committed without parallel in modern and civilized warfare, and because the world would not hear of this evidence if it were not published in press. . . But it ought to be clearly understoed, if such an enquiry is held, that we do not desire it as a justification for any reprisals by ourselves or our allies. As Mr. Churchill said in his speech at the Opera House, we are not going to im- itate the crimes of our ene- mies, whether they are proved or only rumored. However they may fight we shall try to fight like gentlemen.” COL. W. E. GORDON, V. C., Of the Gordon Highlanders.
