SELEaiVE CONSCRIPTION FOR THE DOMINION Not Less Than 50,000 and Prol)al))y 100,000 Men Will He Required â€" Canada is in Struggle Until Final Victory is Achieved. A despatch from Ottawa says: "It is my duty to announco to thi- Hoiiso that early proposals will be made on the part of the Oovernnient to pro- vide by compulsory military en- listment on a solectivo basis such reinforctments as may be necessary to maintain the Canadian army in the field as one of the finest fighting forces in the Kmpire," said Sir Robert Borden on Friday at the conclusion of one of the most momentous state- ments which a Canadian Prime Minis- ter has ever addressed to the House of Common?. He said: "The numlier of men rcrniired will not be leas than 50,- 000 and will probably be 100,000. These proposals have been formulated. In part they will be presented to the House with the greatest expedition that circumstances will permit. I hope that when they are submitted all the members of the House will receive them with a full sense of the great- ness of the issue involved in this war, with a deep realization of the sacri- fice that we have already made, of the purpose for which it had been made, and with a firm determination that on our part we will do our duty in this struggle to the very end, whatever it may be." It had been anticipated that the Prime Minister would make an im- portant pronouncement upon the re- sults of his recent visit to England, and the gallery of the chamber was filled by an expectant audience. It had not been made known, however, that the Government's plan for dealing with the recruiting situation would be divulged. The announcement came at the close of a speech which occupied two hours in delivery. It was preced- ed by a careful analysis of war condi- tions leading up to the Prime Minis- ter's conclusion that the conflict would not be ended this year, and that a great effort still lay before the al- I lied nations. TRANSPORT SHIP NAVAL ENGAGEMENT SUNK BY U-BOAT: IN THE ADRIATIC 1 10 Lives Lost on Cameronia in Mediterranean. A despatch from London says; â€" It is officially announced that the trans- port Cameronia has been sunk. One hundred and forty men on board are missing. The AdmiriUty report read: "The British transport Cameronia, with troops, was torpedoed by an ene- my submarine in the Eastern Medi- terranean on April 15. One hundred and forty men are missing, and are presumed to have been drowned." The survivors of the Cameronia say the vessel was torpedoed in fine, calm weather in the afternoon. The sub- marine was not seen. A large number of the casualties were due to the ex- plosion of the torpedo, which struck where there happened to be many soldiers. There was some excitement and confusion at the outset after the torpedo had struck, but discipline soon prevailed . The boats were smartly launched, but one of them was smash- ed, and many lives were lost. The Cameronia was afloat for 40 minutes after she was torpedoeii, \\hich en- abled torpedo-boat destroyer.^ to run alongside the wounded vessel. 14 British Drifters Sunkâ€" Two j Enemy Cruisers Damaged. A despatch from London says: â€" ; The British Admiralty announced on Friday that fourteen drifters had been sunk in a rai'l by Austrian light cruis- j ers in the Adriatic Sea. and that the ! British light cruiser Dartmouth was torpedoed in a subseijuent engagement with the Austrian warships, but reach- I ed port safely. I The Admiralty stated that the Rrit- ' ish warshij)s Dartmouth and Bristol j)ursued the Austrian vessels to a point near Cattaro, when, battleships coming to their assistance, the British vessels were compelled to withdraw.

Monsieur Rene'Viviani's address be- fore th? .joint Ho'.tsfs of Parliament I at Ottawa, which i:; being reprinted in the original French in editions suf- ficient for every oi /j who desires a copy, contained no passage more worthy of remembrance than that in which he spoke of the Canadian troops and of gratitude to (ireat Britain. The following is a transla- tion from the Hansard report: "Yes, you Canadians, mingled with English and French troops without distinction of race or distinction of country, under different standards, have shown the same bravery. .-Vnd let us not forget that in the month of April, 1915, at Ypres, in the north of Franco, quite clo.se to Belgium, in that region desolated by floods, after the terrible assault delivered by the German soldiers by means of asphyx- iating gas â€" that Germany which has derailed science, and which instead of bringing all its blessings to humanity caused to he cast on it all its evils and its crimes â€" it was the Canadian soldiers who in that terrible day ro-sn up and saved the day. And in many a cwnbat and in numerous and re- cent victories they have stood firm. We see yet your young men, alert, agile, courageous, under their colors the first to scale Vimy Ridge, which had been reputed impregnable. Honor to all these soldiers; let us piously in- cline our thoughts before those who j fight, before those who suffer, befor? 1 those who have died. They knew well what they did and why they left your land. They knew weH that they did ! not bear their arms merely for Great I Britain, or merely for France, invad- led iin'l attacked, hut \yith a clear I vi,-ion fixed upon the .«ky, beholding !a higher ideal, thoy knew that it was for the holy cause of humanity, of de- mocracy and of justice. And it is un- der the aegis of those glorious and recent deeds that we have tome to visit you." V BULLECOURT IN BRITISH HANDS ' ENEMY RETREAT ON FRENCH FR( Sir Douglas Haig's Troops Complete Capture of Village of BuUe court â€" German Casualties Heavy in Assaults on French Lines. A despatch from London tays: After day.s of moTt intensive fighting, in which the position several times changed hands and men fell in hun- dreds in attacks and counter-attacks, â- the British forces have at last driven the Germans out of the village of Bul- lecourt and once more are threatening the southern end of the Drocourt- Queant line, which Field Marshal von Hindenburg constructed to fend Cam- bral from the eastward advance of Field Marj-hal Haig's army. Thousands of fresh German troops recently have been thrown into the fray around Bullecourt, but their ef- forts have gone for naught in en- deavoring to drive out the British ' from the entire village. Although se- veral times the line has been bent by the preponderance of weight of the German formations, at no time have the British been forced to evacuate, holding here and there fringes of the outskirts and keeping back-the Teu- tons until their elements were re- formed with sufficient strength to drive in effective counter-attacks and regain their lost territory. Likewise to the east of Arras, around the village of Roeux, the bat- tle has been waged with a viciousnesa scarcely ever before seen, and here also the British have been successful against the Germans. Although the fijrces of the German Crown Prince have renewed with ex- treme violence their attacks against the French north-east of Soissons in the sectors of the Moulin-de-Laffaux and Braye-en-Laonnois â€" three of them against each position â€" they were again repulsed by the French jiHillery and infantry, suffering enormous cas- ualties. To the east the French troops near Craonne delivered a successful attack, capturing German trench ele- ments.

A de:'.patch from London says: De- spite the fact that the fianchise age for women in the Klectoral Reform Bill is fixed at 30, it has been learned that Mrs. Kmmeline Pankhurst and other leading suffragists are satisfied with the measure's provisions. The suffragists believe that this concession is an entering wedge which ensures the granting of full suffrage soon. They are determined to uphold the Lloyd George Government. Noted Commanders W!l Retain Their Posts. A de.'patch from Petrograd says:â€" The Cabinet crisis has been settled. A i declaration of the Government'^ policy has been accepted by the representa- tives of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Delegates with merely slight alteration.-,, and was signed by them. As a i'e,<ult of a meeting in Petro- grad of the coniman<lers-in-chicf from all the fronts except the Gaucasus, Gens. Brussiloff and Gurko have with- drawn their resignations and reports of further lesigiial.ons arc refuted by the definite announcement that all the commanders have decided to remain at their posts. Thus,.,the crisis in the army, which formed an alarming accompaniment ti> the political crisis, has been averteii. Discussing with the temporary Gov- ernment the serious condition of af- fairs at the f,'ont. the commanders dc- daretl that the unfortunate phrase "peace without annexations" had found its way to the army, and was there translated into an argument against offensive warfare. This and other harmful doctrines pervncling the army and the inability of the officers satisfactorily to explain them had ruined discipline and destroyed the authority and prestige of the officers. Occupy Important Town Twelve Miles North-West of Trieste. A despatch from Paris says: A de- | spatch to La Li'oerte from Turin re- ports that the Italian troops have cap- tured the town of Duino. The despatch says an announcement of the taking of this important strategic point will soon be made oflScially. The town of Duino is on the Gulf of Trieste, about 12 miles north-west of Trieste, Aus- 1 tria's principal seaport. ' j Austrian troops have strongly coun- ter-attacked the Italians in positions they had gained in carrying out their offensive movement. The enemy reac- tion, however, has failed, the Rome War Office announces. The prisoners taken by the Italians since Monday now number 4,021. Five additional small-calibre guns have been captur- ed. The Italians have made further progress in theit drive, pushing ahead on Mount Vodice, and also south of Grazigna, north-cast of Gorizia. ^ « DENSE GERMAN FORMATIONS ATTACK RCSSIANS IN VOLHYNIA .\ despatch from London says: Dense German formations, Petrograd says, have attempted an attack against Russian positions near Shel- vov, in the region of Vladimir-Volyn- ski. Volhynia. The Russian soldiers met the attempt with artillery, rifle and machine gun fire and drove the ; Germans back. There have been no reports of strong German attack.s along the lino from Rifja to the Ru- maiiian-Bukowina border since a few days after the fall of the Romanoff dynasty. ; British ^Vrtillery Assisting in Advance â€" Capture of Monte Kuk. A despatch from Italian headquar- ters dated Friday says: The great battle whose first notable feature was the capture of Monta Kuk continues to develop in favor of our allies. No big advance was ex- pected yesterday, as time is required to consolidate the positions on the crest of Kuk and bring reserves and munitions up the difficult steeps that drop to the Isonzo. Word went out that the day would probably be quiet, but the prophets had not reckoned on the enemy, who called for fighting; anil got it. The counter-attacks ot Wednesday were repeated in greater force, but all â- were thrjwn back with heavy loss to the assailants. Italians now hoW the dominating positions which had faced them so long. They had plenty of machine guns and behind them artillery which is accurate. It has been extraordinar- ily interesting to watch the work of the Italian guns. There was no ques- tion on the middle Isonzo of crushing the whole zone by a whirlwind fire ex- cept in one instance. The liiie of the .\ustrian positions on the slopes of Kuk were traced on the wooded hill- side in a perfectly distinct pattern with relentless accuracy by the steady succession of perfectly-placed shells. • The "Seven Wonder- of the .\ncient World" were: The Pyramids of Egypt, Pharos of -Alexandria.

The House would remember that in December last the Government had in- vited the Prime Ministers, or leading statesmen, of the overseas dominions and India to attend sittings both of the Cabinet and the Imperial War Con- ference. The former body had belt! fourteen sittings, and the British from the present graduated scale of ^^^^.^^,^ ^^^ j^,,. $15 to $21 a month, to $30 to $3b a^^^ j ,„,^^.i,,, ^^.,^^, ^.^^^^.^^^^^ ^^.^^.'^^-'S. month.

It had proloni;ed discus- sions on all the vital aspects of British ! Imperial policy, and came to important decisions which would enable us to prosecute the war with increased unity and vigor, and would be of the great- est value when negotiations for peace came to be discussed. : The fresh minds and new viewpoints I which the Government's colleagues from overseas had broustht to bear on , the problems with which thay had baen so long en,grossed, said Mr. Lloyd George, had been an immense help to all of them . So far as the Govern- niPiit was concerned they could state with confidence that the experiment had been a complete success. ^ â- aCliej I>03.3Kft.erS5» Olf t>l3L© J3-%X.-££&. How DO NOU DO MRS.
