CANADIAN HEADQUARTERS IN

i-n'ANc. v1A LoNooN, March 17.-I The reports in the British press that _

Field Marshal Von Falkenhayn and Staff have arrived in Belgium and are located at Tirlemont has aroused great interest among the Canadian soldiers. Comparative calm still prevails aloni! the Canadian front, broken by artil- l0l'y activity at nights. when it is in- tended to drive off enemy working parties. In these__exchangcs, thc Ca- nadiens are ,using shells more freely. than the enemy whose losses must hc hoavy. The casualties alc-ng tho (ln- nsriian lines of lalo have been oxcop- ilonali small . The arrival of Ge- neral gmuts in England and his stair- mcnt to the British people is regal-rlcil as splendid and of special interest to Canadians who fought in South Airi~, ra. An ofllcor at the front most tha‘nlrfully said today: "My D00' shooting preserved the life oi' Gen- oral -Smuts to the service of the Bri- tish Empire. When in South Afri- ca i helped to dispose ol a command under an oilicer who rode a, white horse. l look two shots ai. him but mlssi-ii with -both. Afterwards I learned that it was Smuti-x."

(Special to th, Guardian.)

LONDON, March 17.-The revolu-

tion ln Russia was completely suc- cessful. Not only the army but the nobility have rallied to the' side of the Duma. 'Czar Nicholas has un- liueatic-na<bly resigned and the follow- ing is thc text of his manifesto in which he announces the abdiication of both himself and his heir:

"We, Nicholas ll.. by the Grace

of God Emperor of all -Russia. Emperor of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, etc., make known to all our faithful sub- jects in the day of the great strug- gle against a foreign foe who has been striving for three years to enslave our country God has wish- eil to send to Russia a new and painful trial. interior troubles threaten to have a fatal effect on the final outcome of the war. The destinies of Russia and the honor of our heroic army. the hap- piness of the people and all the fixture of our dear fatherland re- quire that the war be prosecuted at all cost to a. victorious end. The cruel enemy is making his last effort and the .moment is near when our valiant army in con- cert with those of our glorious ai- iies will definitely ciiastise the foe. In these decisive days in the life of Russia. we believe our people should have the .closest union and organization of all their forces for the realization of spee- dy victory. For this reason in accord with the Duma of the Em- pire. we have considered it desi- rable to abriicate the throne of Russia and lay aside' our supreme power. Not wishing to be sepa-

y leave our heritage to our brother, r tho Grand Duke Michael Alexan- ’ derovltch blessing his advent to

the throne of Russia. We hand over the government to our bro- ther in full union with the repre- sentatives c'! the nation who are suited in the Legislative Cham- bo"s taking this step with an in- violabie oath in the name of our well-beloved country. We call on all faithful sons of the father- laml to fulhl their sacred, patriot- ic duty in this painful moment of natic-nal trial and to aid our brother and the representatives ol’ tho nation in bringing Russia into the path of prosperity and glory.

May God old Russia." There is some doubt, however, as

to his younger brother the Grand Duke Michael, one despatch says that he abdicated four _hours after the (‘.zar's nhdication_ A second des- patch says that he has announced his accession to the throne subject to a plebiscite endorsing him and a consti- tutional form of government lbeing adopted. Other rlespatciies say that all the imperial insignia was torn i`rom the ipmblic buildings. The great cities of Russia have declared for the new government and there is no known exception. A committee o|`-twelve from the Duma is conduct- ing the government. The mobs' prin- cipnl occupation just now is- hunting down the imperial Police anrlputting them in jail. ,Nearly five thousand

pcctiiig the movement in Russia. in discussing the Russian revolution the “Volks Zcitung of Cologne says: “lt. should not be forgotten that all these elements which have undertaken the revolution and now hold the fate of the capital in their hands preached war to the knife with everything Ger- man. 'l‘hcy hate us not less than tho governmefnt which have now seized the supr_eme power and will do every- thing to prosecute national war against Germany. From Petrograd the latest news is that the navy has also gone over to tho new govern- ment and joined with the army. All persons imprisoned for political or religious offences are being liberated.

PETROGRAD, Mnzrch 17.-lt was

rumored here tonig t that the Grand Duke Alexis, the littlc son of the Em- peror, was dead. The Grand Duke Nicholas will probably take command of the army. He also stands -by the new government. it appears that Great Britain through a special plen- iptentlary tried to induce the Czar to make concessions to the Duma but that he refused and that the outbreak oi' the revolution followed closely upon this represcntutivo's departure for England.

FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1917.

(Continued)

Dr. McDonald, the Member for,

Souris, in seconding tha address in rcply to the Speech from the Throne, referred to the deep significance of the advent of the new Governor~Gen- eral to the shore's.c-f Canada. He spoke in eloquent terms of the privi- lege which Canadians had of being members of the great British Empire and the priceless gift of liberty which they enjoyed to tho fullest extent and. of the consideration and appreciation the l\lotherlan<l had always given the (‘olouies_ Dr. McDonald went on to state that. with very few exceptions. Great Britain had always sent out to Canada, iboforo and after Cr/nfedcra~ tion. as Governors-General men of the greatest ability and, without oxcep- tion, of thc higltcst integrity. lu this connection he rofcrrorl particu- larly to Lord Durham. the man who Hrst urged responsible government and thc expcdieucy of Confederation. Confederation, said tho speaker, seemed to be incomplete without Newfoundland and the West Indies and he showed the great advantage il would be to Canaria. and the bomi to this -province particularly. if those co- lonieo were a part of this Great Do minion. "We are as free as the air we breathe," said the speaker, "and this great Dominion of Canaria, of which wo are so proud, is unfettered and untramanelled to work out its own destiny, and it is in the interests of every individual in the country to see that the honour and the welfare ot the nation are uphold. Tho words oi’ tlic 'poot aro eminently applicable to Canaria in-rlay. 'l am a daughter in my molhcr's house but mistress in my own.‘ The Duke of Connaught, cc-ntinuod Dr. McDonald undoubtedly won in a great degree the sympathy and respect of the people of Canada, not bor-auso he was near the Throne but because he took an unbounded in- terest in all Canadians; and it was singularly fortunate that at the out- break of the war Canada should have at the head t-5 affairs a man of such large experience and military train- ing as the Duke of Connaught. ~ Dr. McDonald then referred to the terrible conflict now raging and of the terrible consequences of war. He was proud to claim that the grandest triumph of this war was in the realm of medicine. "Take away medicine," he said. “anti her hanrimaids sanita- tlc-n and hygiene from the battle- fields. and the belligerent armies would vanish an the dow before the summer sun."

lie referred to the Development

Commission and said that even the clay undo-r our feet and the sand on

many men leave our i` tied `the speaker. "We =ho\:`__i have “stay-at-home clubs. Hundreds ol’ peo- ple leave this province every summer to come lback sarlrier but wiser men. Others develop u wander-lust and ne- ver come back till they are of little or no use to the province. The an- nual eiecursion to' the West is a dis- crimination against this province. The Development Commission repre- sents the ccncentrated efforts of our most progressive citizens, and ii’ it did no other good 'than io coll atten- tion to thc trcasurcs that we liavc, thc gold mines thai wp liuvc in this pro- vince, it would rlcscrvc i-iir hcurlfclt thanks." '

Dr. |\icD0nalil thou look up thc

question of providing for rciiiritotl soldiers. "’i‘0-(lay wc can give them our thanks anrl show ihoin our rlccp

wo must give ihrm somctliing more substantial. We have no public rio- main, but ihcrc arc thousands of acres oi' unused lands in th(- prc-viuc-c` which can :bo utilizcd for our sol-' dlcrs.“

in dealing with the Education De-

partment Dr. McDonald said that all was going \vcll although the Depart- ment -felt tho depiction from its ranks owing to the enlistment ui' i_ho Supe1‘intenricni_ unrl teachers in the Army to light for the cause of the EUIDAFG- "After the war. however." said the speaker. “whon peace will have -been rcslnrcri, the good' work will be takcn up again."

Agriculture was next discussed.

Tim speaker poinloii nut. that this was tho basic inriuslry of tho proviiirm. it is unclor a highly orguitimd Depart- ment." ho said. “that oxtcnrls u help- ing hand to ovcry farmer in tho land. As a result farms are \being.improv~ cd. better crops are being grown, and the tiller of the soil is coming into ills own.

Continuing. Dr. McDonald said:

"There never was such prosperity on the island as there is to-day. Har- vesis have been abundant and the pri- ces high. There is pence and ron- »tentment everywhere.

The harvest of the ses has ning,

been abundant. it is an industry that has been much neglected. We are right ut the front door of the arentest ilshins ground in the world. He urged the building of ho-at har. 5011. and the bonusin of H

Mr. BELL said he would deal with

the attitude of the Liberal party to- wards the vote ,of $20,000 towards the Patriotic Fund. lie thought that taxation was both unnecessary and lnexpcdient. First. it was unnoces-, sary bccausc thc province had two cf: thrcc yours ago. come into posses- sion of is large increase in its annual subsidy. namely one hunrlrod thous- and dollars. in thc next place, there uns on .i riculiurul grunt of some

lurs which cmriili-_il thc Government to administer or assist to administer the Agricultural Dcpurtnjent. Also that tho prcsvni Government had un- dcr its control some $71500 of i-llX0B ovcr uini above what tho liiboruls had when they worn i-_ouirnlliug the ad- niinisiratlon. In ri-iltcr words, that thu Conservative Party of this prov- iuce had under their control $200,000 more of rcvonuc than the Liberals hail. and therefore out of that rcvo- nuo they might very well ‘be able to afford a payment of $20,000 towards tho Patriotic Fund without the neces- sity of resorting to direct taxation." Ho contended that this Government had increased the expenditure on the several departments of the 'public service some forty or fifty thousand dollars or more ovcr anrl ahovn what it had takon tho Lliboral Party to ad- minister' those services. He said the government should retrench, and that the Government could ver proper- ly,'ln the exercise of judlcibus re- irenclnnent. have been able tg save either 320.000 or a large portion of it on the public services. and there- fc-re need not have resorted to direct taxation. They should have paid it out of the ordinary revenue. But in order that the amount for this pur- pose should not fail under any con- iliigenry. the Liberal Party had au- thorised the Government. to borrow in case of necessity. any sum which might he necessary to make up any rletilcisncy. The tax was also inex- perllent. because the effect of it wo rl be to defeat the very urpose
