While the impression created at the Lime was that these men should be. Chosen from without the government and regardless of political affiliation no such stipulation was by the1, Primo minister. The Rumor receives considerable credence at the Capitol. It is pointed out that while a commission a absolutely Independent of the govern ment or of party affiliations might be i better Able to conduct Canada s i purchasing purely business basis still it Wpm old to an admission i of weakness on Tho part of the Gor deplore talk of an eminent to have to go entirely out _ Side its own ranks to procure a competent business purchasing commis Sion.

While the name of sir Thomas Paris april following official statement was issued by the Liv Ench office tonight near Ding Marck to the North of Ypres the British have repulsed two attacks at Hill 60, near Zwar Telene. German counter attacks whose violence seems explicable by the desire to repair Tho defeat that has been denied by the official communications of the Imperial general staff have definitely failed. The losses of the enemy Are higher than the figures indicated yesterday. In the sector reims there has been an artillery Duel. In the Argonne at Bagatelle a German attack of no great importance was repulsed. Near St. Mihiel in the. Forest of Premont we carried by assault two successive lines of trenches at a place called the which formed in our positions a salient that seriously embarrassed us.

London april following official communication was issued this telegrams from the persian Gulf show that the defeat of the turks at Shairba was even More Complete than had been hoped. Not Only have they abandoned their motor cars and gun Ami ammunition wagons but Independent reports show that their retirement has been a rout molested by turncoat Arab tribesmen. There Are persistent minors of the suicide of s Uli Raan Asl Ceri the turkish commander in chief.

Election Iii advised. The convention moved along with perfect unanimity. The evident feel ing of the Large number of delegates representing various nationalities was that a Dominion election at this in Canada s history however there was resentment against i v v v j n i the government on account of the revelations regarding the purchases for Canada s soldiers and also on account of the raising of the count Tariff which gave the Manu a Benefit at the sex i a Pense of Tho masses. The feeling of the convention As evidenced by the unbearable pitch.

Robert Rogers left for Mon Treal today. Quebec ministers have expressed themselves As averse to an election at the present time and Are. Not at All hopeful of the Outlook in that province should one be held. Or. Rogers however has decided to find out for himself and will Confer with the party leaders in Montreal. obstacles to a june else tips face the government though these could be probably be overcome should the pressm a be heavy enough the lists. One is the question of the Manitoba lists which is As great an obstacle As it was in september last. The act of 1908 which was passed by sir Alan Aylesworth provides distinctly and unequivocally that the shall be prepared and allocated for Federal use at a certain defined time of the year. It provides that a of judges shall be appointed and that the work shall to begun Between july 1 and August 15 of each year and be finished by october 1. According to the act the governor general in Council May Dis Pense any year with the work of preparation and this was done last year when an order in Council was signed by his Royal highness on june 29, dispensing with the preparations for a year. The Power to Deal the list was thus exhausted by this order in Council and there is now no Way by which the lists can be prepared until the dates set by the act. No Legal elections. If. Under present conditions a Dis solution were granted and an elec Tion held in june no person could legally he elected in Manitoba no matter what Steps the government might Talce to prepare lists and Al locate them to the proper polling divisions. It would be open to any one to the return of any Mem Ber purporting to be elected in Manitoba under the. Conditions referred to. Probably there was never so much need of a proper preparation and allocation of lists As today Fol lowing upon provincial and Federal redistribution. But in Manitoba the act g Ives no option As to the Date of preparation. The fact that in june last the government did not contemplate an election until their time was up has placed them in tile present predicament. Senate re distribution Bill. A further difficulty is the Senate re distribution Bill which has yet to receive the approval of the Imperial authorities. The Bill provides Tot additional representation in the urn per House and cannot come into effect until after dissolution. The government desires to be sure that the Imperial assent shall be received before an election occurs so that in of defeat they will have the satisfaction of having placed a cer Tain number of their own party Stripe yesterday s official casualty list issued at Ottawa indicates that some of the Canadian regiments saw fierce fighting the latter part of last week. The list contains the names of ten members of the seventh battalion four of whom were killed in action on thursday last april 15, the other six receiving wounds on the same Day or on the following Friday or Satur Day. Two members of the eighth Batta lion were killed in the same fight both members of the Winnipeg rifles while another member of that regi ment is on the list of wounded.
