our British ammunition." So that three months after the bat-
tle of Ypres- .lurre 10. 1915- Sir John French iloclirrcd to condemn the Ross rille, hut suggested “a slight altegtiorr."
But there was another rrfrsorr why
tire rlilc (~ouldn't. be abarrdorrcd. No other ritic could be got. Tin- :rlteration r'cconrnrcrrded by Sir Jolrrr. i~`r'rnch was rrrade, and thc riile continued in rise. »
Such was the position up to the
early nrorrtirs ot` 1916. ()n March 30, llliti, Sir itobert llorrlrn, ill view of fulrlrr-r' critlcisrrt oi' the lloss, on his own initiative, dolcrrrrlrrcd that if a lr|_\ticr~ riilc could be procured, Cana- dian soltliers. should not be exposed to tho slightest possibility of added pcril oven through lack ot’ confidence in their' rifle. ()n that date hc cabled Sir George 1'(-.rley, Dominion High tiorrrnrissioirr-;~r', in I.orrdon, in an effort to have the Canzulian troops armed with the improved Lee~Eniield which, thc Dominion govfrnrrrerrt. understood, was being rn:rrrrri`:rctnr‘crl in thc- Ilrriiorl States in l:rr';.:c trrrzrrrtles. for the Brit.- islr govcrnrrrent. The reply irorrr Sir ileorgc l’cr~l(\y, callin-.I after he harl` several irrtcrvieivs with the lnrperialu autirorities, was to tire effect that the-` liritlsh gover“nrrrr_-nt, (‘0[iI.D NOT SPARE A SINCLI-I itll-‘i.ld; and that it (lrsirerl that th" Uarradiarr govern- ment should not plat-c a contract for riilcs in the ilrritt;-:l States., irc-carrso of possible intert`er'ence with a badly needed llritish supply.`
Thus, long bcl`or';> it had been sug-
gested by government critics or any- body else, that thc Ross- rifle should be discarded, Sir Robert Borden, de- tenmlrred tirat in such a. grave matter tht-re should he no room even for doubt, wus doing everything in' his power to have tho Uarratlian forces armed with the host rifle available. but was. rendered helpless for the simple' and alll-suillcierrt reason that other rifles rvero not to be had.
Again, on' May I5. Sir Robert llor~
den had a nrcssuge trhnsmitted to Sir Douglas liaig, thc- newly appoint- ed British (‘onrrnarnlerlirr-(firici, say- ing that the llornirriou government would -like to have the Ross riile test- ed, ami a decision as to furthe-r use left to Haig.
Orr June 5, the importance of an
early and final rcport upon the Ross was again urged by Sir Robert Bor- den, in a cablegranr__to_ Sir William Robertson. chief oi' thc British staff.
Sir Wil1li'am Robert-sorr replied to
this cable through the Colonial Sec-- retary. on June 10, that the Prime Mlnist.er`s request for an' opinion on the Ross riflc- had been referred to Sir Douglas- Haig, and that his .reply would have to be awaited before a deilnite decision could be made;
Sir Robert. Borden again pressed for a report. -ln a cable to Sir George' Perloy, he pointed out that the- Domi- nion lreforo placing any further or- ders- for rifles for the new (Tarradlarr forces, must have an author-it.ative report upon the Ross. The cable re- quested Sir George Periey to inquire' whether any rc-port on tlrr- Ross ritio had been made, and concluded:
“iF NOT, IT SHOULD BE
MADE IMMEDIATELY FOR
OUR GUIDANCE." In pursuance of this request Sir
George Perlcy wrote- Sir Williarm Robertson, British Chief of Staff. pressing upon him the necessity of a decision as to whether the Canadian troops at the front should continue to use the Ross- rifle, and emphasizing that the Dominion government was prepared to stand by the decision of, the British Cornmarrtler-ln-Chief. The lettcr concluded: `
"During the last six months
the Canadian government has had under consideration the giving of a further order for a ,iargo num- bsr of rifles to bs delivered In i917, but this has boon delayed on account of rumored dissatisfac- tion with the Row rlflo, referred to In the Primo Ministers cable to you on Juno 6. The timis has now, howsvsr, arrived when an lnvmedlatg decision must in made. ~
As a result of this urgent. request
for Immcdia s decision; the War Of- fice, on July 3, forwarded Sir George Porley, for the Dominion government, copies of two letters, dated May 28. 1916, and June' 21, 1916, received from Sir' Douglas Haig. They were to the effect that after extensive tests, made at tho request of the Dominion au- thorities, the Commander-in-Chief

He was a man with a grave message and he drove his points home with telling effect. He said there were industries in this country which have no right to be working just now. He had strong views on this subject and he hoped to see effect given tc- them wthin the next few months. The rich must give and the working people must save. There should be- a readjustment so that .men of military age might be freed for active service.
“Men of military age." he said,
“are not going to- satisfy the-ir obliga- tion by getting into munition fac- tories." Tire services of the cc-untry must be maintained, but the civil ser- vants of the proper age nrust not be exempt from serving in khaki. As Mr. Bennett explained that national rervice meant organization to win the war and save the state, the audiences repeatedly cheered to. show its competent approval. The speakers said that singing of the, national service cards would be madeI obligatory, but no penalty was pro- vided. The Government was not pend- ing upon publiclty for the sufficient organizatiorr ot' all the new sources of this country.
PLEADS FOR UNITY.
Mr. Bennett pleaded for unity.
What was the use of prating of sacri- fice if we were not willing to subon drn-ate personal opinions for a little- wlrile to the national good. The Gov- ernment wanted help in deallng.witlr '-R10 Dreseut crisis. Mr Bennett de- clared that labor unions had more i.o lose than almost any other organiza- tion of the country if Germany won. The state was in danger today and only organization could save lt. lf G€'l`HH1HY won. Canada would be one Of NIB Rretest prizes of war.
“Don't run away with any idea that
the Monroe Doctrine would save the D0YTlIUl0H." he said amid trernendous illlplause. “The Morrr-os Doctrine is the false light along the shore."
K To labor unions, he would say: '_llelp us, not the enemy; help na- tional se-rvice because national Ser. vice is trying to help you," Mr, ilerrnettfs last appeal was against extravagance. Canada suffered from Eflography. lying next to the rich United States. ‘Saving was needed t0 win the war and the people oft Carrada must learn the lesson. I
“What right have you to lnry An-

Mr. Bennett spoke frankly in an-
tlon. He had been where he was called a conscrlptionist, but rather than that this country should be- torn asunder by riot and insurrection within, it would be better that the sacriiics be unequal, in order that a united front be presented to the euemy's game. An interruption from

Walker Theatre, made- it clear that the meetings were absolutely non- nolitical, because there were bigger things than politics to talk about. The Mayorexpressed his gratification that the Prime Minister and Mr. Bennett had come to tell the people
give the most effective service in the Interests of the Empire. The Mayor was proud of the record of Winnipeg, of Manitoba, and of the Provinces to the west. He remarked on the large number of women in the audience - and jocularly told the Premier that they all had votes.
Hon. T. C. Norris, Liberal Premi-
er of Manitoba, came out frankly in his unqualified endorsatlon of the National' Service effort. He told Sir obsr-if Borden that anything which
‘ was possible-to do to carry out the
pledges of Canada to the Empire and to itself would bs cheerfully and un- reservedly glvén. Every man could do some par; to help in Winning the war, and it was his dut. to do that
