A large part of the financial resources of Canada required for war liave been raised in the Dominion, the voluntary contri- bulion for the war amounting to near- ly a hundred million dollars.

Such' men as tho former Ger- man Kmpt-ror, Enver Pasha and the former nUors cf Bulgaria and Aus- ttii, would be placed on trial and If found guilty their lives would be for- feited.

It had to be proved how far the cojiimaudei;s of subuiariues acted un- der orders, which they had to carry out under piJn of d^ath, of how far they acted cm their own volition, he pointed out, but if the atrocities at sea were committed on the volition ol Individual comrounders, he declared, they, too, must suffer the extreme penalty.

The man in ihe street _i«, perhaps, more interested in Siberia to-day tiian ever before.^ It is an extra- ordinary land â€" one * of the biggest, and certainly the loneliest, on the globe. It contains nearly five million square miles, being bigger th.-jii Eur- ope, and about forty-live timss bigger than the British Isles. .Although it is about seven thousand times bigger, yet Ahe /population of the whole of Siberia only exceeds by a million that cf Greater London. That means that there Kre hundreds of thousands of square mites v/here. a human being is never seen. v The railway which connects Siberia with Russia forms the greatest under- taking of its kind in the world. The total distance it covers from Potro- grad to Vladivostock is C,52l mile-;, and to Port .-Vrthur, 5,913 miloi!. At Yatusk, one of the chief citjtss of Siberia, is one of the seven wond- ers of the woild. It has a frozen well of which no one has been able to iiixl ihe bottom. In 1829 a Russian merchant tried to find the (iopth of the frozen stratum, but thirty feel down he guvo up the task. Then the Russian .\cademy of Science took u» the digging, but at 382 feet Clio earth was still frozen as hard a.^ arock. The scientists were puzzled. Natural lold, they urged, could ni»vev pene- trate to such a depth. No e^planaaoiJ of Yakutsk's frozen woU has yet been found. .
