CANADIAN COMPULSORY SERVICE

A good deal of misconception P\°9VBlls concernilm C0l11~

pulsory service Ln Canada. In Great Britain before com- pulsory servlce can be introduced special legislation must be enacted. Not so in Canada. The Militia Act of 1904 provides all the power and machinery for the operation of compulsory service and may be set agoing at any time deemed necessary. ln section 2 the following provision is made:

"All the male inhabitants of Canada of the age of 18

years and upwards ilnd under 60. not Extlfllllt UI' dliquall' fied by law, and being Britisii subjects, shall be liable to scrvice in the militia. The Governor-General may require all the male inhabitants of Canada capable of bearing arms to serve in the case of a levee en masse."

Those liable to serve are given in section 15 of the Act

and are divided into four classes, viz.

1st. Those between the age of 18 and 30 who are un-

married or wldowers without children.

2nd. Those of the agms between 30 and 45 who are un-

married or wldowers without children.

3rd. Those of the age between 18 and 45 who are

married or wldowers with children.

4th. Those of the ages between thc ages of 45 and 60. The male population my be callcd out ill this order, and

the method of enrolment is left to the Governor-ln~Council who has suprcnlo power to determine that matter. The tcrms used in section 27 are:

“Wllcn men are required to organize at ally time either

i`or training or for an onlcrgoncy, and enough mon do not volunteer to conlplcto the quota required, tho men liable to .scrvc shall be drafted by ballot."

So far as Prince Edward Island is concerned the result

of appeals for volunteers has been so satisfactory that there is hardly ally need to contemplate the possibility of compulsion. Wo feel sure that whenever '=lll urgent call

to voluntarily respond. Still tho law is tllere to deal with slackcrs when, if over, necessary.

BUSY TOURIST SEASON

Notwithstanding the into summer and the interruption

of the tourist, trufllc generally throughout Canada due to the war, I‘,rince Edward island has little to complain of regarding its share of visitors. From every quarter wo have reports that tho sumnicr tourist business has been hcttcr than usual. Tho summer hotels have all'been more largely patrollizod than even lust year. which was some- tliiilg of a record, and the city hotcls also report “business hotter than usual." Some disappointlnont was expressed at the suspension of Boston sllillngs at the beginning of filo season, but those. so far as thc S. S. Halifax is con- ccrlicrl, have partially been resumed, while many visitors have come by rail bocauso of doubts concorlllng the safety of thc sell-rollfe. By whatever means they have got here, the visitors have come and their presence has been great- ly appreciated. Keeping the reputation of the Province :ls ll health-resort well before the public pays handsomely. Very fow places in Canada can claim ns we here can do, that in r-.vcry rospect. save in the sale of foxes, business has been hotter than usual during the past twelve months.

FUTURE OF EUROPEAN NEUTRALS

The questions puzzling war critics just now-apart

from the active hostilities--are those having reference to tho future action of the Balkan States and the Scandina- vian Kingdonis. The future ot' the Balkans is dependent upon Roulnanla and Greece. Should those two countries decide to remain neutral. the Balkan States will continue to be a hindrance instead of a help in reaching a speedy and satisfactory ending of hostilities. At the other ex- lronlc of l~luropo, thc Scandinavian group arc engaging at- tr\.ntiol\_ Swollen is filo loading power there and tllorc is nvidolice sho is becoming dissatisfied with her present position, in which silo has to suffer loss of sen-going trade through Gorman torpedo action. The problem is, how long will she bo satisfied to play tho part of neutral and tolerate tho high-handed action of Germany with regard to hor shipping? Yesterday we recorded sf-.vcral of hor vessels sunk by German submarines, and no word of ex- planation or protest scoms forthcoming trolll one side.or the other. As an explanation for this soomlng callous dis-' regard a contemporary hazards the explanation that in Sweden as in tho United States thero is a large section of naturalized Germans. or people of direct Gorman descent, and tllorc, ill accordance with tho custom of the hyphen- ateds in every part of tho world, are loud in insisting that their adopted country shall remain neutral (unless she is willing to 'como ollt on thc side of thc"'i`eli__to‘lls) butfwhol yet assist Germany at every opportunity to capture and sink tho Swodtsll ships. lf that were all, lt might bo hoar- ablo so far as Berlin is concerned, but the hypllonatods. who act as sl-los in a neutral country. should bo shot as fast. as they are caught. There is no justification for the drowning of the Swedish crews on these vessels, and it is that which ls rousing the resentmeht of tho Scandinavian kingdom. lf Sweden decides to ao't_, her first course will probably he to induce Denmark and Norway io como in at thc same limo, thus roconstituting the ancient kingdom of Scandinavia for the time being. The one obstacle to that l>0llCY. or at any rate the greatest obstacle, apart from the hyphenated problem, is the distrust felt against Rus- sia, but in view of the enlightened position ocriupled by that nation in the war. it is quite probable that the bar- riers will be broken down, ‘and another link forged ln the iron chain that is being slowly forged about the Germanic Empires. The extraordinary strength of the defence that is being put up by those two States is surely proof enough of the ions years of preparation they mast have made mr the present struggle. As, however, their arsenals are gradually exhausted, and the once neutral nations throw in their lot one by one with the Allies, even Germany must

realize the hopelessness of her position.

easily within its reach. The demand ls, to use The.

Patriot’s favourite expression,` merely bluff. Were our Contemporary anxious to enlighten its readers about every detail of the Field Service Fundit could_do so without tlie least trouble. But that would expose the bluff. V

The Patriot is well a.warq..sbout what is going on at

present in connection with supplies for our armies at thg front; it knows the restrictions imposed on newspapers and the penalty for contravention. _Yet, in a most coward~ ly and brazen manner it .takes advantage of these circum- stances to make an attack, anadequate reply to which would involve the breach of restrictions imposed both upon The Patriot and' ourselves, ati well as on all newspapers by the Censor in the interests of the Allies. The mis~ named Patriot is so unpatrlotic that it evidently would sell us and our produce to the Germans in order to gain a little temporary political notoriety.

No one ln Prince Edward Island, save a coward or a.

traitor, would stoop to such tactics. 1

“ ALE CANADA APPLAUDS ”

Tile World; of Vancouver, is a newspaper that has

lollg been noted for its spirited opposition to the leaders and policies of the Conservative party both in provincial and Dominion fields, so that the following tribute to Sir Robert Borden for his courageous attitude in denouncing his own followers is the more remarkable.

lil an editorial headed "All Canada Approves." the

World says:

“lt will be observed with general satisfaction that Sir

Robert Borden has not hesitated to reprehend in severe language those of his own followers who have been found concerned in qllostionable transactions. His assurances that no member of the Government had any knowledge of what was going on is satisfactory in so far as it assurw the country that what is a very unpleasant business is not to become also an exceedingly painful one. The nettle seems to have been firmly grasped. When General Hughes stated to the Vancouver Canadian Club that he favored shooting army contractors wllo ‘scamped' supplies, ills audience made due allowance for his impulsive nature,
