Question of con- have been expressed by- Liberals in the recent debate the net result has been to convince the country that the party whole has the cause of freedom at heart both here and overseas As one member of Parliament put light sides of is for democracy whether it is attacked on the hat- loilcldsof or the four corners of flic British America Act This sentiment should give pause to hose who In opponents of lion Willi lack of patriotism The debate brought out the fact lhat the are as keen on helping our soldiers at the front as the the only difference being Ibe by which the object Is to be accomplished A Very prevalent opinion was eloquently voiced M Mc Donald of has a son at the front when he said that the saddest thing about conscrip tion to his mind was the motive behind it He found internal evidence in the bill that it was a mere party manoeuvre intended to set Quebec against the rest of Canada French against English Protestant against Roman Catho lic Nothing could be more fa tal to the unity of Canada than an issue of that kind Mr sentiments were shared by zither Liberals notably by those from the Mail- time Provinces and a goodly number from the West Knowles of Moose Jaw Thompson of Appelle Dr Mutiny of and others The English speak ing Liberals from Quebec were to a man for a referendum and then conscription if necessary The Liberal party is tackling question in real earnest and each man has the courage of his convictions if the Borden Gov ernment could prove it has single to winning the war is not squinting at an that will throw all the he lire these differ- of opinion might not have been developed The objection Is not so much to conscription as to playing the other fellows nasty game Of party politics Impartial critics admit that the Liberal party has come through the crisis a stronger and better party than before It has justi fied its name of Liberal by dis playing the greatest latitude of opinion on an issue primarily in tended for its destruction as a party An argument which was ad duced in the debate hut which was notdwelt on at any length is worth noting here Namely lhat Canada is the only British coun try in which there is a

Con scription was not attempted in South Africa which is the latest addition to the galaxy of free na tions which compose the British Empire While the conscription fever was supposed to be afrit height the Borden Government was hustling around for a coalition that might pull it out of the hole by dragging Sir Wilfrid Laurier and half a dozen other Liberals in The coalition talk is not- dead

with bursting shells of all calibre the tanks wallowed about as great imposing monsters while the infantry dashed from trench lo trench sweeping all in front of them On both flanks I could see that our infantry had also gained their objectives and it was clearly seen that a truly victorious day had begun for the British The steadiness of the Irish was simply wonder ful us they followed closely upon the artillery barrage You can imagine feelings of the Hun fairly shot to pieces by our ar tillery while only one hundred yards away crouching Tommies with shining bayonets waited to pounce upon all lhat was left of them A Glorious It was a glorious sight as the sun rose over the crest of- to see our Tommies steadily advancing Machine guns concrete dugouts and won derfully constructed
