He sure doesnt get much sleep And you just ought sec the prisoners They sure are a mot ley lot ranging in age to and looking very much all in I have seen amout of them and bey sure are glad to be out of il Well sister I have just got that Bill was killed out here and didnt know he was here all so Im going to write the Records Office in London for particulars as I dont know what unit he was with I

to write her and to watch out for souvenirs Goodbye for now I remain as ever your lov ing Jack A juvciiiont Might Train for The main object of tho scriptionisls on both sides of itics from now on must be to keep Borden Governments nose to it One of the first signs of back ing up was their readiness to dis pense with the elaborate classi fication of the bill and put all the single and married men from to with no ties under one class Another sign of cold feel the penalizing clauses for news papers which might publish any- j thing in the way of criticism of conscription or of the methods which the Government might or might not employ to it out Under pressure of a sturdy public opinion on both sides of the House in favor of free speech Mr Mcighen was obliged to sub stitute may for shall so that the suppression of newspapers with ideas of their own is now optional on the part of the Gov ernment instead of mandatory as before Which is say that we will continue to have an unfetter ed press in Canada if the Govern ment chooses Impartial observers are of the opinion that the Government bad better choose a free press or some Canadian may arise who will knock all their heads together It seems strange at this late date that Canada should adopt all the eliminated by England when she saw where suppressing the truth landed her What makes it worse is that Can ada has not the same excuse as England because in England there was real danger of convey ing information to the enemy through these public channels But an air light press in Canada has no excuse but a desire on the part of a decrepit Government to stop the other fellows mouth A press censorship such as Mr Meighen outlines in his famous clauses would not only shut off all criticism of conscription as conscription but also all about W K OConnors lat est report on the cost of liv ing shows that Sir Joseph on one bacon contract with the British Government made four and a half million dollars One supposes that il is little transactions like this which the pressgag clauses of the Military Service Act are intended to pro tect For certainly nothing could create a stronger feeling against the conscription of flesh and blood than to think that Sir Jo seph was left behind to make a huge fortune out of the soldiers wives and families The appointment of Mr J as a Food Controller whose chief duty is to issue state ments telling us to live on green stuff is not likely to have much effect on the high cost of living as long as Sir Joseph is al the other end of the teeter Every lime Mr bears down Sir Joseph will bear up and the price of bacon will stay where it is- Providence may help Food Controller out for the summer and autumn months when the green stuff comes with a rush and prices take a slump after that things will be about as Ihey were before fl IN of any phase of the Govern- 1 activities which might cause prospective conscripts to I Cynthia Blue Aloes which begins in August Cosmo politan is one of the
