TUESDAY. March 23, 1915,

The House resumed today at 3.30 p.

nr, Mr. Speaker Wyatt in the chair prayers having been said and the .lournal read, the first order of the day was taken up-the debate on tlte Speech from the Throne.

TIIE PREMIER said: The custom

which has always been followed in this House, as far as my experience goes, anti 1 think so far as precetlent goes, is that after the mover and the seconder of the address in reply. to the speech front the Throne have conclud- ed their speeches, the leader of the Oppositlon shall reply. Itt this case, unfortunately, the hon, leader ot' the opposition is not able to be present. Today is the funeral of ltis brother, the late James W. Richards, front ltis hontr in Port I-llil. We had hoped, wlteit the House atljourucd, that the funcral would have been over in tinte to allow tho hon. gentleman to bc pre- sent lo take his place in this tichatc, but the delays ln crossing prt‘.vcutctl tliut. l spoke to Mr. John ltlchards yesterday morning, and while he ex- pressed his appreciatloii of the action that had been taken by the House in adjourning ottt of respect to tltc dc- ceasctl, who ltutl sat here for so many years us 0. member of the Government, and as a member of the I-louse, he saitl tliiu ho did not desire to bc present on the occasion of this debate and pro- poed that it shoutl proceed in his ab- stutce. He will, of course, at it later tintc, on the Budget and on the oc- casion of any Bills that may be ititro- ducctl iii the House. httvc full oppor- luiiity oi' discussing public questions. lti his absence I will proceed to make it t'ew remarks on the address. My position, for tlto reason stated. is un- usual, inasmuch as l have nothing to reply to, and the ground was exceedingly well covered by ilte mover and secoudcr of tite address. Those gentlemen deserve the sincere compliments ot' this llouse for the excellent form in which their speeches were delivered, for the evi- dent eare and attention they had bestowed upon those sfspeclies, und t`or the large aiitotutt of valuable in- formation which they contained.

We are accustomed to any this thing in various forms and to hear it said in many forms, but somehow _we feel, I ant afraid, as if we were more spectators -interested spectators-tltan actual participants. Looking around in this House we can sec two clialrs that are made vacant hy this war. Perhaps flint will help in brlttg it home a little closer to its. tint- of these gentlemen. Major Mc- l’liall, began his preparations for this war more than u your ago.

ll is hard to inmginc anytlting more

horrible than war, and vvo have no rt-cord of at wnr in which hunianit_v was callctl upon to suffer more ter- ribl_v flinit in this one. We have some grounds t'or satisfaction, and, first of all is, tltai we not only think, bitt we know that we are fighting for tlte lion- our of otir naiivc country, for the ltoit- our ot' the ldinpire,-that we are fight- ing for justict- anti for frcctiont. Vtihnt could bettcr strcttgtlicti thc freedom of every patriot., than the conviction that he was striking his blows for the protection of all that he held dear. and in the cause of honor, oi’ justice, of freetioni?

TH E CAUSE

The cause of this war has been re-

vicweti so well by thc hoti. member front Ilelfast that it is quite unneces- sary for me to cover flint ground. We know that the stnietncnf, cotttaiiiotl in the speech of l-lis lionour is true, that Britain look up arms to protect the weak against the strong; that noble little country; Ilelgiunt, which froiti thti earliest rcciiriis was nolt-tl l`or its bruvc inen, ioiittv stands in the forc- front of titc ltrinour roll of the world. 'i`hcy could, by sacrificing their prin- ciples, luivc lain down and ict tho florinnits march through tht-ir roun- try. All flint. ihcy would havc had io suffer in such .t cnsc would have been tlisltonour. They woulii havc ivcakly allowed their rights to be trampled ltpon; they would li-.ivc pullcd down their flag to another nation because it was ntore powerful, and they might hnve ucccptctl money as contpensit- tion. llut to their everlasting credit be it said, they faced thc dreadful alternative, knowing wcli what they faced. They have preserved their hon- our, biit they have sufl'ered as wc know of tio people ever having stiffer- cd before; and still there is no voico of regret rising front its oppressed pcoplc; but rather, those who leatl and those who are lctl, with one voice say, “wc would rutlter have suffered nil these drcatlful calamities than that we would have avoided them by allowing our enemy to trample upon our rights and leave us s safe coun- try and a safe people, but with tlto reputation ol' a flag stained with cow- ardice and tlislionour." There is noth- ing liravcr. there is nothing nobler in the history of all warfare than the action of tho Belgians where they were put to the proof as to whether they would have peace with dlshoiiour. or save their honour and enjoy all the calamities of war.

Extension of Rural fllail Discusseii,'2,225 Rural Routes and l0,ti00 Boxes

Established by, Present Government. Amendment Suggested to fliake it Criminal Offence to Send Money in Unregistered Letters.

(From Our Own Reporter)

OTTAWA, March 23.-The remark-

able extension of Free ltural Mail De- livery since the Conservatives came into power was shown by figures pre- sented to the House last night by lion. T. S. Casgraln during the discussion of tlte Post Office Department.

From 1908 to 1911 there were estab-

lished 011 routes and 16,015 boxes. Since the present Government came into power there had been established 2,225 routes and 10,385 boxes.

Asked as to whether the service was

paying Mr. Casfrain replied that it was not, and was not likely to. He was unable to say just wluil. the loss uit thc service would be for the year.

‘ HO E OF COMMO

for a statement in reference to tlte dc- veloptnent of parcels post in Canada.

Mr. Casgrain said that the question

was tiow being studied by a number ,of officials ot’ tlte department with a ‘ view to tite future development, of the service. Personally he had not yct had the opportunity to take the matter ‘up but intcndetl to do so. The service . had been greatly cxtentletl in Toronto, ‘where it is made more itse ot' than elsewhere in Canada. There had al- so been tzonsidoritlilc development in the Province of Quebec. The depart- ment, he said. is sending officials through the country to explain the nd- vantage of using llic niails for parcels to the people.

W. l“. Matfhean asked thc Minister; i". ll. Carve-li said ht- tlcsircd to

intake the suggestion that parcel post charges should be cut in two. li' they were lower than express cltnrgcs the department would get the business.

“I am ini'orined that except in few

cases our charges are below those of the express companies now,” said the Posttnaster-General.

“Just slightly below," observed Mi‘.

Carvell.

D. A. Lafurno suggested that the

criminal code be ainentled so as to make it u. criminal offence for anyone to .send tt letter through the mails con- taining nioncy withoilt registering it. Ile said the practice ol' risking muncy in ordinary letters was ri great tciiipin- tion whicli should not bc plnccd in thc way oi` the ntcn in the service.

The Cossacks were waiting to go in. All around tlte fortress burning forts smoked like volcanoes. while explosions were heard as the Attstrians blew up the ammunition stores. Austrian soldiers relate that the coinniander of Przemysl. in offl- cial tndors, thanked tlte people of the ,town t-von before the .surrender for tlicir loyal attitude and warned them of tho coming cnpitulation. At tivo o‘t~ltit-.k next morning loutl explosions wt-rc hcard from every part. of tlto t`ortrt-ss when the Austrians were blowing tip the works preparatory to surrciiticr. Then part of the Russians' forces threw themselves within the iortiiicniioits and by scvcn this morn- ing tltc inner sections were in their liunds.

At thc some time, says the corres-

pondent. tho Austrians shot their horses to prevent them falling into the hands oi' the Russians. In the int-antimc the Austrian representa- tivcs came out tb announce the capi- tulution of the garrison and fortress.

The town of Przemysl is intact, the

outskirts alone suffered. A large ci- vilian population, chiefly Jews, re- niaincd in town.

/in adjourned meeting ol' thc lloiirtl

of lit-itlth was lit-ld last evening, ills Worship thc Mayor presiding.

The meeting was heltl for the pitr-

pose oi' taking up the matter of meat and milk inspection for the city. Dr Joltitsoii mt-itle a proposition for ln- speotlon of ment anti poultry. Dr Mc- Millan was present anti stnfeti tltat as l’rovini-ini Heath Oillt-cr he had occa- sion in visit niaity slaughter iiouscs.

lic thought that the less said

the better. Meat inspection was not -jroposctl for thc purpose of inlurlng butchers or uteat dealers, but in tho interest ot` the public lionltlt. llc thouglit that poultry should be includ- ed in thc proposed inspection. Dr Mc- Millan thought that if it could be arranged to co-operate with the Pro- vinciai Government in some scheme of inspection this might help to solve the problem. lt was moved by Coun- cillor Riley and seconded by Council- lor Jenkins:

“ Resolved that a committee of three

be appointed from this Board with power to add some of the principal city meat dealers to their number. and also the Provincial and City Health Odicers, said committee to wait. upon the Provincial Government and re- quest their co-opleratioii in a plan for meat and poultry inspection."

His Worship appointed the follow-

ing committee:-Messrs McNevin. Miller and Mckenzie.
