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.

price of $33 paid for Ammunition by
the Government and he was also of that
opinion that the statement that the

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.

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-

In Argonne, mine fighting continued

(From Our Own Correspondent.)
OTTAWA, A bill to extend the pro-
visions of the Government railways mittee. Mr. Hughes then withdrew

ward Island and other Government ter of Railiays -therefore withdrew

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. ,

A packed house greeted Feldman

The bill of last night was entitled
"The Girl Question," and is not alto-
gether devoid of plot, though the cho-
ruses and other singing numbers with
sprightly dances comprise the big end
of the attractiveness. 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.

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.

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
