OTTAWA, May 2.-A return was
brought down in the House today giv- ing the facts in regard to the sale of defective Canadian ammunition to Vic- kers Ltd., by the Department of Militia a matter concernln which there have been various reports in the Press and which has also been referred to in
the House. Tile main portions of tl1e‘ and some of it had been ordered des-
return are a letter in which Auditor- General John Fraser,draws the .Gov- ernment's attention to the transaction and a memorandum from the Minister of Militia which dttails the reasons for the sale of the Ammunition in question.
The objection of the Auditor-Gene
ral to the disposal of the cartridges was chiefly that the price was low. $20 as compared with the normal price of $33 paid for Ammunition by the Government and he was also of that opinion that the statement that the cartridges were required for machine

Such to Vickers
‘gun testing purposes was scarcely to be credited owing to the magnitude of the scale over 3,000,000 rounds in all.
The reply of the Minister of Mili-
tia, however, shows that the country was gaining from the transaction in obtaining anything for the ammunition at all since it had all been condemned by a Board of British experts in 1913,
`troyed as absolutely dangerous for use in riiies. It was disposed of to the firm of Vickers Limited, through Col. J. Wesley Allison to be used for test- ing machine guns, thus releasing a like amount of good Ammunition for use at the front. The Auditor-General had appeared suspicious as to Colonel Allison's connection with the sale and in this connection the Minister States he was assured that not o. cent of Commission had been paid or a dollar of profit realized and that it was xergularly oriered and shipped to Vickers.

PARIS, May 2.-An oilicial commu-
nication issued by the wal' oiilce to- night seys: “In Champagne the llro of our artillery against a German bat- tery in the region of Moronvilleres, north of Prosnes, caused several ex- plosions and fire. Another battery counter shelled by us north of Mas- slges suffered severe damage.
In Argonne, mine fighting continued
to our advantage in the sector of Hill 284, Haut Chevauche. West of the Meuse there has been artillery action_ East of the Mouse bombardment was intense and our batteries dispersed
enemy detachments north of Chaulfer Wood and enemy concentrations north- west of Vaux Pole. The day was calm on the rest of the front.
Yesterday a German aeroplane was
brought down by one of our pilots. The machine fell within the enemy‘s lines.
A Belgian official communication
reads: After violent bombardment opened at daybreak on Belgian posi- tio immediately north of Dixmude, the Germans attempted a sudden attack on a post east of the Ysey The enemy who gained a footing in three advanced positions were driven out. Artillery action continued in intensity in the region of Dixmude all day.

day. Hon. Dr. Reid moved the bill, which was to amend the Government railways small claims act to extend its provisions to all government rail- ways, not merely the intercolonial.
Mr. J. J. Hughes of Prince Edward
island moved an amendment that the bill be made retroactive as regards the Prince Edward Island Railway, to apply to all claims since 1910. The original act provided for the settle- ment=of claims arising out of the op- eration of the Intercolonial Railway by simple service on an oiillcial of the railway instead of taking the cases to the Exchequer Court.. It was claimed by Mr. Hughes, Hon_ William Pugsley
and moved to wit-hdraw the bill while it was under consideration in com-
came before the House for third read- ing when Mr. Hughes again moved his amendment.
Dr. Reid protested with some heat
that such action was breaking faith with members of the House, since he had withdrawn his motion to drop the bill on the understanding that the amendment also be withdrawn. The, Minister thereupon again moved that the bill be withdrawn but this motion was declared out of order. Mr_ A. A. McLean, Conservative member from P. E. Island, supported the amend- ment declaring it was clearly to be un- derstood that it had been intended to include the P. E. I. Railway in the
and others that it had been the inten-, tion at the time the original act was passed to include the Prince Edward Island railway which had been omit-
ted by mistake. - `
Dr. Reid objected to the amendment
original act. -On vote being tak'en both Mr. McLean and Mr. Donald Nic- holson ali three from Prince Edward Island, supported the amendment which was however defeated by 50 to 25 and the bill passed. ,

The m_usic is catchy and goes with a lively swing and dash practically all through the performance. Several of the ladies in the cast are possessed of excep- tionally good voices, notably Miss Mar- geson, who gave several songs which were above the average. Miss Geary’s singing was also particularly good., _
Nelson Adais the "double voiced
wonder" was greatly enjoyed and his impersonation ofthe female voice created great fun. The harmonious selections by the Imperial Male Quar- tette went with a fine swing and the parts blendid splendidly. These se- lections were all catchy and were rap- turously encored. Frank Christie as the dyspeptic General Preston took the part of an erratic old gentleman in first-cias sstyle and his dancing also made a big hit. _The costumes of the ladies were quite eicgal t z-nd not out of bounds.

MANLY DEN
I (From our own Correspondent)
OTTAWA, May 2. "l AM PROUD TO
BE A CITIZEN OF CANADA, PROUD BECAUSE OF WHAT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT OF CANADA HAS DONE IN ACTION IN THIS WAR,
|zEN wi-lo HAPPENS Fon A Mo- MENT TO HAVE A SEAT IN PARLI- MENT I HAVE N0 TIME FOR CRIT- ICISM. MY TALK AND SUCH EF- FORT A8 I AM ABLE TO EXERT HAVE BEEN FROM THE BEGIN- NING BEHIND THE CLEAR-EVED PURPOSE OF THE PRIME MINIS- TER AND THEY ARE SO NOW; AND SO, I BELIEVE, ARE THE THOU- GHTS AND EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE OF CANADA."
These words were heard in Parlia-
ment tonlght towards the end of an evening wasted in petty debate, when time supposed to be spent in consider- ation of the large matters involved in the voting of war appropriation of $250,000,000 had been frittered away by opposition members in the discus- sion of details such as the promotion of a paymaster in iToronto and the supply of condensed milk to the troops in Prince Edward island.
Dr. Michael Clark of Red Deer one
of the strongest members of the Liber- al party in the House today, and the father of two sons-who are now at the front, spoke them and'they.burst like` a Jovian thunderclap upon the cars of his colleagues.
Dr. Clark has always been regarded
as one of the most responsible and soberest minds of the Opposition mem. bers of the House; withall a stalwart party man in times past. The almost tragic littleness of the evening'g dis- cussion and of the spirit which ani- mated it had evidently moved him pa-st further toleratioa of it at this day and date in the world’s great struggle for liberty and freedom and he rose to voice his protest at last.
“I intervene in this discussion with
some reluctance because I have a very great question in my mind as to whet- her this discussion should really be toning place. 1 think. slr, shore is room ` for grave doubt whether we are not losing our sense of proportion in the greatest crisis that ha/s ever been pas- sed through by thls country, by this Empire, by the world and by the world’s prospects of the advance of civilization. "
The words came firmly and without
hesitation. He commanded the instant attention of the whole House while Opposition members from Hon.'l~‘rank Oliver, down, after whirling in their seats with consternation in their faces, endeavored to look imperturbed and
the effort failed dismally.
"I'lntervene from a strict sense of
duty,” continued the Red Deer member "and because I think it would be un-
lleath Struggle.

fortunate that a vote of this magnitude in connection with a war of this mar nitude should pass without a notsof clear support of the Government at , Uhis crisis coming from this side of the House.
I “i listened with a very great care
A8 A PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL CIT"-' to the statement of my Right Hon.
: friend the Prime Minister from begin- I ning to end. l listened to it calmly.and ,as l listened I was proud to be a citi» zen of Canda, and proud to be a cltiion of Canada because of what the present Government of Canada has done in connection with this war.
‘ It was my privilege as it was my Ihonor, at the beginning of the war to express what was my clear conviction
and what is equally my cleat; convic- tion now, that the head or thl`i»' 0’6'v7orn. |rnent and the Government itself and the majority of its supporters 'wore seized at once with vhe importance of
‘the issues and bent their whole ener- gies to the task of contributing the proper quota on- the part;,of' Canada to the successful prosecution of ,tho war. _ ` "
What was my conviction tthen is my
conviction now, and I am clear in my own mind that history will record, whatever may be the petty political fortunes of party in this country at tile' next or any other election, that my Right Hon. friend wiho leads this Gov- ernment from the day the war cloud burst, has kept an eye singieto tlis' winning of the war.
If there had not been grounds for
criticism the Government would not have been Ihuman.
Humanity is fallible. It ls said that the man who does not
make mistakes never makes anything.
it the Government had not gone into
this war with the intention of making sometlhing of helping to achieve the victory that we know is coming, if they had not gone into it animated by the spirit that makes for victory, they might not have made mistakes.
But they would not lhave helped
much in bringing about that victory.
For my part in such crisis in the
history of our Empire and the country.; as is private individual citizen who happens for a moment to ihsve s. seat in this house I have no time for criti-
cism.
