Of all the animals that suffer by war, the horse, na turally, claims our first thought. But, fleeing in terroi from their homes in all of the cities and towns devastated by this war, men and women have had to abandon in the majority of cases their dogs and cats and caged birds. Thousands of the former are reported by eye-witnesses as wandering about in an exhausted and starving condition. None but the sad actors in this tragedy of despair can realize what war is. In the forests of Galicia and Austria, it is said, may be heard many wounded and riderless horses neighing piti fully through the long nights tor death or their masters, One new feature and fact of the present business situ ation is that the railroads have been granted the long sought five per cent advance by the interstate commerce commission. If one-half the benefit to trade and business should materialize from this compliance with railroad de mands, that the big business fraternity have glowingly predicted, we will promptly be able to note renewed acti vity in the steel mills and manufactures of railroad equip ment generally. But as yet this predicted activity is only M of these are those wonderf ul horses 0f the Cossacks, an additional query ana possibility in tne reaim 01 pros-i trained to a docility and showing an intelligence so great pect.

The most en couraging sign of the times, it seems to us, is that there are many vacant houses in all the towns along the coast, from Southern California to the northern limits of Bri tish Columbia. The people who lived in these houses have gone somewhere let us hope back to the country, where!1''"! many of them came from. IT so, production will grad ually increase and prices go to a lower level, which will allow the people iffi the cities to live and still provide a fair profit for the producer. Gradually, too, the working men remaining in the cities will find employment, and the equilibrium will be restored, bringing in due sequence the general prosperity for which everybody is praying. Other things that may be holding back the return to normal business conditions is the constant discussion of iho sitn.'itinn iind its muses. tln nrnhli'tn nf tlu nnemnlnv- od and the advertising of the work of organi.ed charity, 'Wv, as well as agitation for experimental legislation to meet;Ji, lhe condition in which the nation linds itseil.
