Former postmaster Gen and Chancellor of the exchequer in the of the canal where they hold a Bridge head opposite Steenstra the. is still going on Tor St which is the Only place when British lines were driven in. The net gain of the germans As a Resuli of the Rush is an Advance of Abou half a mile towards Ypres from Tho Northeast and the driving of the salient to the Ypres canal. Further North from Stee Straate the Gorman lines have for some months run near the canal and almost parallel with it. It appear that Manitoba has a Pul Sory school attendance Law is a burning disgrace. It is something which must humiliate beyond measure e cry serious educationist and i easter in the province. The whole thing is not merely government is needless burlesque of compulsory education tue difference Between. Or. Cham it is cowardly and contemptible. For Perlam. And or.

Billiarde and his truancy officers do not operate amongst the children of the Middle class or of Hamilton has keen a great Deal of hard fighting in. His time he is a student of strategy . . The combination of Ham Ilton and d Amade promises Well the German Plau was to get across the canal from Ypres to Stee Straate on a front of five or six Miles and then South past Ypres. This would compel the British to fall bail from Ypres and to abandon All the the testing time has come. Since the and have recently extended and shall Manitoba lag Beau adj it should be some Spur to us in Manitoba to know to at compulsory education Bills Are now pending in the states of Texas and South Caro the Well to do. This precious Corn Lina thege states Are Pul Sory Law does not work in their Case. The better class re so Deuthal districts Are not touched by in and the reason for Thia is obvious. If any attempt were made yank children from these Dis very few still remaining in the Southern. Republic which have not compulsory education. South Carolina has an unenviable reputation As a child labor state. But in South Carolina tricks to the juvenile court and sen j compulsory s0hool attendance Bill tence them to terms in the detention Home or. Cold Well s truancy act would last about ten minutes. No one knows this better than or. Cold Well. Inn attendance at school and irregular attendance at school ate however by no Means confined to the poorer classes. The school principals of Winnipeg can enlighten anyone As to this. Some of the very worst offenders in the City Are child from Well to do Homes. Compulsory education is needed for All classes of children. And there is enough Public spirit and common drafted by the state superintendent of education has been favourably re ported on by the state legislature s committee on education and is said to have a Good Chance of passing into Law. In. Texas a compulsory education Bill sponsored by the Texas child labor committee is now under consideration. Will it not be a lasting disgrace to Mani Tooa if these Southern states enact compulsory education jaws be fore this province has such a Law on its statute Book for Manitoba is today without such a Law in spite of All the window dressing of the sense in Winnipeg parents of All j Roblin government. Classes to co operate in. The enforce a of a genuine compulsory school attendance Law administered by school authority and not by political strengthened by the capture of Hill 60. This plan which was the culmination apparently of most elaborate preparations including the Damn Aible device of attacking the Allied trenches with asphyxiating uses has failed. The Advance though in itself not inconsiderable is very far Short of attaining the object desired and the Surprise strategy thus elaborately worked out is no longer of value. It is improbable that the germans can make any further Progress at this Point even though they should launch millions of men against the trenches of the allies. It is Plain that the chief Factor in spoiling German plans was Tho resistance which they met with attempt to Advance from Poel Capple and towards tires. Canadians Are properly or oxide thai it was their troops that met this German Rush and held it in Check for a sufficiently Long time to permit British reinforcements to reach the ground and also to enable the French and belgians to rally West of the canal. It is difficult from the reports to hand to work exit a detailed Story of the movements of the canadians. The varying reports fit together Only on the theory that of the Cana Dian Force was in position on the British front in the neighbourhood of St. Julien with the rest of the Force in Reserve near Ypres. When the trouble began the Canadian reserves marched Forward to the support the brother regiments in action with the result that two thirds of the Ger Man division were brought into action. Workers. It is a scandal we repeat to tabulate together and represent As ailing in the same category cases of breaking into House i powerful Wing of the Dominion government Bent on precipitating a general election is quoting As a precedent the Khaki election of 1900 in great Britain.

The attempt to make them appear As one is an act of cowardice perpetrated by the to Btl government or reasons of political expediency Khaki election have been ten years in the wilderness. The temporary Success of the Ger mans appear to have been due very largely to their resort to a. New terrible weapon of empty ing upon enemy trenches with the of a favourable wind of vast quantities of chlorine gras. The effects of which were to prostrate the soldiers kill them by asphyxiation though these gases were chiefly employed against the French the canadians also suffered to some extent a Cable dispatch in today s Pape us that when the Canadian forces re captured their trenches near St. Julien they found 24 of the comrades who had not retreated when the Gas reached the trenches dead from asphyxiation. The Ger mans evidently relied upon the sur prise Ancl terror created by the employment of this new Agency to give them the right of Way into the Terri tory West of the canal and they Are doubtless chagrined that after All their Success has been relatively so capt.

He went Home to be educated at Cargil Field near Edin Burgh and the great English Public school of Rugby which he left As a prefect and member of the school xv., sure titles to Schoolboy Fame. Coming to Winnipeg after a few years in Chicago he entered into the Grain business Here and for Many years was a member of the Exchange and latterly though still retaining his connection he became involved in other interests and acted As Man Ager of some development and in vestment companies. When tithe 79th Cameron Highland ers were organized he at once a a commission and thenceforth the regiment was one of his Foremost cares. His company was Al ways at a High level of efficiency and his reports were a Model if his men. Sometimes thought him too strenuous they were always aware he asked them to do nothing which he himself shirked it was his form of Public service and to it he gave unstinting by of his.

It. Often has the writer argued with him about questions of International policy and the Burden of military armaments on civilization. He was a constant Reader of the Spectator and always full of the menace. When he scorned the doctrines. Of Norman Angell that armaments must Lead to War and War would be fatally ruin Ous to All concerned i would Point out that the Bellicose sentiments Oil certain classes within the British Erm Pii a gave powerful levers to the prussian War party and hindered tha cause of european peace. Where the War came and we talked Over. Says that save in Scott a we Are not the least interested1 in servants of any great Man of letters. I think that As much interested in Allison Cinningham Stevenson s Curacy As we Are in Tom Purdle. And a whole Book has been written about Johnson s Black servant. Then there remains the immortal Fitzgerald s boat Man whose interest it is True is a reflected one. A Book was publisher about Tim also. But so it is with the Long list of those who served Jane Welsh Carlyle girl and woman. And there Are others if one set themselves to remember. It is a wonder that no Book has been written on the servants of illustrious authors. Of course mrs.

Her ridicule was often Aore merciless than Carlyle a but it co Bailor of the free press. A private citizen having no personal axe to and affiliated with no party or organization i ask the favor of your attention for a few minutest it is generally believed that the to minion government has decided to hold a general election in the very near for reasons at present hidden rom the Public. At any Ordinary time this would be taken As a matter of course but under present conditions an election is the very last thing the canadians wish to indulge in no matter of what their party or Creed. Every citizen i have spoken to on this subject has expressed the deepest Cou empt and loathing for the politicians Behan Al this movement and one prominent Man whose name is a household word in this City said to me if a Dominion election is held this year it will be a Damnable outrage on the Canadian common report names the Hon. Robert Ligere a being actively concerned in this matter and if this is True then the serious responsibility towards the whole Dominion rests on every Winnipeg citizen of Mak tos his voice and influence Felt in order to Avert what would be a National Cal Amity. Our soldiers Are rankins the name of Canada famous the Empire Over. Our politicians would drag that name in the mire an untimely general election. Associations of men and women now working amicably together the Good of Dominion and Empire will be riven apart by the party strife. At this ail citizen is called upon to support Patri Otic funds to pay heavier taxes to give cheerful Aid to All the necessary duties of this crisis when the British Empire should be knit up into one unit determined to see this thing when the Dominion and the Empire Are facing the most critical problems of their such a time i say that to wilfully plunge Canada into what will practically be civil War for several Weels is a deed of the most accursed treachery fit Only for some Black hand Assassin. United prompt decisive action will frustrate this evil project. The just indignation of an aroused people properly expressed and directed has a moral Force that even emperors cannot with tarian.

The Leader of the Saskatchewan conservatives in announcing that will oppose the Scott liquor legis lation shows the willingness of the politician to accept with support from whatever source it can be secured. He makes a bid for the Lomner Aace voters by fulminating against the dispensary proposals of the Scott government while he commends himself and his cause to ail those who Are in opposition to file Scott policy from whatever by advocating the continuance of the existing system Tor More than a ear and then the taking of a Efferen duty.

This however does not excuse in the least the action of the o germans since the employment of asphyxiating uses has been forbidden not Only by inter National usage but by the express provision of the Hague convention to which Germany has subscribed. To steal a Surprise March by a resort to unnatural and forbidden methods of warfare is in keeping with the style of warfare in which the germans have resorted Ever since they set out last August to conquer the world. Now hat it.

It is not How Ever probable that chlorine gag can be effectively used except under very special it is easy to imagine a set of conditions in which the germans in using it would fall victim to their own methods.

This in Quiry also relates to one building Only. There is something humiliating in the conduct of the government during the whole of this inc utry. It was not Only the right it was the duty of the opposition to demand a most searching rigid inquiry into the palpable waste not to use a stronger expression. And the they had no thug to hide should have Given the opposition every assistance in their Power should have produced All necessary plans specifications and financial statements. Instead of this they have from the first done their utmost to Block and mystify by a mass of technical matter utterly irrelevant to the inquiry coupled with the disappearance of important witnesses.
