I The editor of the Providence Journal.

disclosed the fact that the hidden hand of Germany was at work in the United States for the purpose of defeating the conscrip- tion bill then before the Senate. That jour- nal, which has done so much to expose the German influence, plots and plans in the United States, submitted incontrovertible evidence of the distribution of German mo- ney for the purpose of creating anti-con- scription agitation led by so-called paci- fists. It is perfectly evident the German propaganda has been transferred .to Cana- da. Every means is being adopted to re- tard Canadian action in making good the wastage at the front and to increase th_e forces on the battlefield Many good Li- berals do not realize they are being made the tools of Germany for this purpose, but it is a fact nevertheless. Who is to gain or; who is to lose by Canada sneaking out of the war? The only gainer will be Germany while the losers will he the allied nations of Europe, the United States and Canada.

At the Liberal Convention in Winnipeg

an attempt was made by the delegates from 'the constituencies dominated by fo- reigners to pledge unabated confidence in, and support to, the anti-conscription lead- e_r, Sir Wilfrid Laurer. Fortunately for Ca- nada, and especially fortunate for loyal Li- berals, the Manitoba delegates successful- lv resisted such a motion and the Liberal Convention has concluded, without any de- claration as to who is or who shall be the Liberal leader at the ensuing general elec- tion. 1

While the Western Liberals have suc-

ceeded in escaping the -predicament of being tied to an anti-conscriptionist lead-_ er they have not succeeded in formulating any war policy which entitles them to the confidence' of Win-the-War Liberals. The resolution which they have adopted pled- ges the party, if returned to power, to en- quire of the Mother_Country what she wants them to do in order to help win the war. At this late stage of events could anything more puerile, more absurd, be in- cluded in the “resolves” of a united Win- the-War party? Why, Premier Lloyd- George declared that what was desired, if necessary, was the last man and the last

warcouncil in May after being at the bat- .tlefront and came home and announced that 100,000 additional men were needed immediately and that the only way to ob- tain them was by conscription; What fur- ther advice on the subject could the Mother Country give or the Liberals obtain. On the face of it this “resolve” is merely a shuffle to delude those who prefer to be deluded about the anti-conscriptionist po- licy which will be pursued if the Liberals return to power. They are committed to no leader at Winnipeg, but they have not ofii- cially disowned the present paid and offi- cial leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who is for- mally pledged against conscription. Here evidently the hidden hand has done its work at Winnipeg. ,

V Another instance of the hidden hand is that chronicled in yesterday’s Charlotte- town Guardian regarding the dastardly at- tempt to blow up the residence of _Lord Athelstan and to murder him and his fa- mily. Threatening letters had been receiv- ed from the United States by Lord Athel- stan, the proprietor and editor of the Mon- treal Star, that should conscription become law, he and other leading conscriptionists would be murdered. 1

Who in the United States, save the Ger-

our War policy to threaten the murder of those who favoured the adoption of com-

the front? Germans and Germans alone are behind the anti conscription compaign in Canada._ _They are making tools of Li- beral politicians to serve their dastardly ends and willmot hesitate at murder and

their design. namelv that Canada should be the first of the Allies to sneak out of the

able Liberals will allow themselves further to be made the accomplices of the enemies of the country in pursuing a policy of dis- integration when union and co-operation are so essential.

_ SAVING THE PARTY

It may be possible that the efforts t

keep the Liberal party together under th leadérship of Sir Wilfrid Laurier may suc ceed. A practically solid Quebec stands be- hind him; practially the whole alien and foreign element in the West, stands be-» hind him; a few political heeiers in the’ other provinces, are ready to throw in theiri lot with these. By combining these forcesl it is possible that the disintegration may bel averted that threatened the Liberal party 'when Sir Wilfrid Laurier 'took his ,stand- against the government’s selective draft `bill1` And whatthen? What would -hap- pen if _Sir Wilfrid Laurier should secure, the _reins of power? What would Cana`da’s position be in the war? _

_It has long been recognized that 6 we

have reached practically our limit in vo- luntary enlistment and that the only ,means by which our Canadian army can be maintained is by conscription, not an in

itary age and fitness but a conscription of those men who can be best spared from their present ‘ occupations. Sir Wil- frid Laurier has set his face as ai flint against this policy. His position is perfectly clear, self-adinitted and admitted by his followers. If he leads the next government then, there will be no conscription, and little if any further help from Canada. Canada will sneak out of. the war, will have little if any glory at the end of the war in return for the sacrifices made by red-blooded Canadians from every province in the dominion except Quebec And under the Laurier regime, should it materialize, Quebec will still go free. Que- ~' bee will still refuse, as it has already re- fused to help in winning the war. Other provinces may still send of their sons;

may lie in forgotten graves _in France but Quebec’s sons may stay at home as they have done, to pursue their ordinary call ings, to make money, to propagate their race. ' 1

Is this what the coming election is

going to bring us? With 400,000 of our men now enduring all the hell that war means, spending sleepless days and nights in sodden trenches, lying in hospitals or in unmarked graves in a foreign land, and more than 400,000 at home in Quebec and

fed and clothed in Canada, and kept at ~ home by Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the fac- tion that has rallied to his support! Is this ‘ what Canada is coming to? Is it not time l to realize that there is something more sac- red for Canadians than saving a party that is going to bring us to this? '

Of our own already depleted popula-

tion we have given some 3,000 of our sons. Nearly 150 of these are buried in France; more will follow them to the grave; many of them are maimed for life, many broken _in health; all of them have battled manfully for the honour of Cana-| da and now Canada’s honour has come down to party-saving, to saving Laurier and the menwho threatened rebellion if/ they should be compelled to fight for the country that feeds them, the country that, others are dying for If we have come to this, if this shall be the verdict of those of us who are left then Canada is not worth fighting for and our boys have suffered and

died in vain.

The hand of the censor is again in evi-

dence in the war news and the closing of all the wireless stations on this side of the Atlantic is significant, meaning probably that all the German spies are not yet out of the United States;

There has been considerableactivity on

the western front and the Allies have made some progress. It is worthy of note that a Berlin telegram in our yesterday morn- ing’s war news, announced the beginning of a big. drive on the coast of Belgium which our official London telegrams have not mentioned. i _' '

It is most encouraging' to note that the

Germans, no matter how desperately they strive, are totally unable to regain ground once lost to the Allies- The Teuton high command well knows the importance of checking the Allied drive in Flanders. The British are fighting but ten miles from the coast ahd Ostend and Zeebrugge. Im- portant submarine bases, are not far away. A big salient has been driven into the Ger- man line and if the gains can be continued the entire line in Flanders and in France as well must retire It is evident that this offensive is not a sporadic effort. French troops have been brought to the front to co-operate with the British and this would not have been the case unless a det-erm'ned and continued efl’oi‘t had been decided upon. _

steps looking to effective action in thc c\'ciit of war with a foreign iowcr. Up to that time, this country had no intcr-dcpartnicntal coni- -ni ititicei charged with the elaboration of defence nicasurcs andthe co- rdinzition of diffcrciit branclics of (fiovcrnnient in case of an emergency ii _l=i1iuary, 1914, the Prime Minister, witliout ziiiiioniicciiicnt but sin- crcly fcuripg inimincnt danger to thc Iinipirc, established such ai Com- iittcc. By july of that year, only .1 few days before thc outbreak of war, thc Coimnittee had completed its task. It is impossible to over- stimatc the advantages which resulted from the steps thus taken. The \\'ar Book” prepared by the Committee clearly laid down the line of roccdurc to be followed by the scvcrul Departments, and much con- usiori was thus avoided, both while the war was immediately iiiipend- ig, and after it began. Not only did the “\-Var Book” effectively co- rdinatc thc activities of the several Departments of the Canadian iovcrnniciit, but it greatly facilitated cfficiciit co-operation with thc mpcrizil authorities.

In Canadzi there was no precedent upon which to proceed, but it was clear that the national existence was threatened. The Prime Minister and 'the (`»ovcrnmcnt therefore assinned the responsibility of acting with all possible promptness and without waiting for the consent of Parlia- ment.
