IN Pd Mt PPMP PNT INA BP LAST BORDEN MANIFESTO. Sir Robert Borden has issued an- other manifesto. It is an indirect' reply to that of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and a document which will have its effect in the elections. It deals mainly with the Military Service Act, or conscription, which is- the issue of the day. All others pale into significance before it, and the need and wisdom of i, and its en- forcement, ' will be settled by the people. Practically a Te- feréendum 1s. beln taken on the most serions subject with regard to 'which the people havé been con. sulted. re ~ Before polling day the electors will have information which will en- able them to act judiciously in this matter. There has been a compul. sory registration of the members of elass A in conformity with the call, and the exemption courts are deecid- ing upon "who can he 'hest relieved from the occupations in which they are engaged and service in the field under conditions as honorable as those which surround their fellow. Canadians in uniform." The proces of selection is slow' enough, hecause its is-being exactingly done, and with a: result which, thus far, has been very disappointing. Evidently there are few eligibles in class A who can be spared from thelr present positions, and class B will be called out in or- der to secure the required comple- ment of men. The premier says the Union Gov ernment is pledged to many reforms; to an extirpation of the patronage evil; to economy in every branch of | the public service; to necessary and reasonable transportatidn facilfties; to the greater taxatioh of wealth: to the wider franchise for women; and to the solution of problems.that con. cern the roturned soldiery. The'out- look for the Unjon Government, be it said, is not too rosy at this jungture. There ave differences among the people, conservatives and liberals, that cannot be seconciled, 'and it is possible that the pending election may not dnd the difficulties of the hour. 'A second appeal may follow at once unless the majority in favor of 'the union is large and of a most, decided character. , The military drag net is not pro. ducing as many members of class A active service as the Gefvernment "was led to expect. The first draft may not prove a success, unless there j «wait and see." are Tewar exemptions. ' CANADA HBARS HE CALL. The Victory War Tian is on, That 4" has been well adiertised, and that the people have 'been thoroughly aroused with 'regard to it, we made ye, weitapt by the demon- Stratiop Mor ming.

All is being moved to an exhibit a profound and un- changeable interest. All America is concer the result of this | personal appeal for financial aid. All| Britain knows what Canada has done | and when these three weeks oney getting are over the! world Il know that among the | overseas Dominjons this fair land, which Germany desires and would like to get, is the one that can be de. pended on, to do her bit, and more than her bit, in every struggle where national stake. an Canada fon of ned abbut with her army, 0 The next great parade will be of school children. At least that. is the suggestion. There is to be a great juvenile victory display of the school popilation of Toronto and Kingston is not to he behind in this movement. FIGHT AGAINST SEDITION. The Washington Government finds that the socialistic eircles of the Un. ited States are being filled with Ger- mans and pro-Germans who are in this way working out their destruec- tive plans as they dare not presume to do in other relationships. The game is the same the world over. It is to create discontent with the Governments of the day, and to pro- test against thé war. The cause of the Entente is at stake. The enemy is losing notwithstanding all its boasting and occasional desperate dashes. It wants peace and cannot have it now, at any price. The na- tion that talks about jt, and at the same time, even now, through its Government and Government depart. ments, plans for the next war, on a colossal scale, with all the raw ma- terials and foods which can guar- antee a prolonged siege, is not to be trusted. It went into this war be- cause the war lords thought they were prepared for anything. There must be no chance of a revival of to- day's awful scourge through the ac- cident of 4 premature peace. The Germans of the United States, as Socialists," may not be any safer in the new societies and roles than they were' in the old; and President Wil- son and his Government ;may see the wisdom even yet of interning a larg- or number and so pitting thera out of harm's way. The scandal of distributing hon- ors and titles for money is being re- vived in England. Hereafter the King must -be informed of the grounds on. which knighthood is be- stowed. It is well. BENNETT DISLIKES SIFTON. R. R. Bennett, K.C., makes a re- 'markable statement when he says that he will not be a candidate in the pending federal elections be- cause "of fundamental differences between himself and Hon. Mr. Sit ton, dating back: to the entrance of Siftoh into the Alberta legislature." These men: may. be so far and so | completely estranged that they can- not be reconciled, but Mr. Bennett at the last session of parliament an- nounced that he would not be a can- didate for re-election. Rumor con- nected his name with a seat in the Senate. That was, however, before and Hon. Mr. Sifton, the premier of Alberta, accepted of the overtures of 8ir Robert Borden and agreed to become a member of the Union Gov- ernment, Mr. Bennett, an able man, but not at all tractable, politically-- a high kicker at times and under spectacular circumstarced-- may lati er find "himself in the changed comn- He is a nich maw, and has been in parligmentary life simply for the pleashre or excitement or gratifica- tion ghich it afforded.
