PARIS, March 16.-Vast French and

The French have assembled quanti-

artillery has in store 25,000,000 shells.
A long rapid pursuit could not be sus-
tained with the railways torn up with-
out adequate auto transports for this
reason the French and British have
gathered tens of thousands of automo-
bile trucks. British troops now on this

to have been coming over during re-

it was decided that the session as far

OTTAWA, March 10.-The first coll-
troversial speech he has made since
the outbreak of war was delivered by
Sir Robert Borden to-day in closing
the budget debate. The action of the
Liberals in challenging at the present
time the Government’s policy, in forc-
ing an issue upon a domestic problem
and in dividing parliament at the pre-
sent crisls had evidently aroused the
Premier. Seldom has the House
heard him speak with such ilre and
vigor. It was what ill parliamentary
pariance is called a "fighting" speech.
The belligerent attitude of the Chief,
his spirit, his quickness at repartee
and his hard hitting delighted bis tol-
Iowers and he was cheered to the echo
again and again by the Conservative
benches. -
"My right honorable friend," declar-
ed the Premier in closing, “has chosen
the moment to open iire with is vote
of want of confidence and to raise is-
sues of a purely partisan and contro-
versial character. I desire to inform
him that .we do not shrink from his
citiclsm or from the issues which he
raises. Conscious as we are that. con-
fronted by the most tremendous re-
sponsibility ever imposed upon the
shoulders of Canadian public men, we
have striven in the psst and will
strive in the future to do our duty to
this _Dominion and to the British Em-
p re. ‘
As the Premier sat down with this
perorstion winding up one of the most
giirited speeches he ever made in the
ouse. he was given sn_ovation by
his supporters and it was several min-
utes before the cheering subsided.

FIRST CONTROIIERSII-IL SPEECH
DELIIIEREDBY SIR ROBERT BORDEN
personally the fact that his stand on
the naval quostlon had received the
approbation of Germany. The Conser-
vatlve leader resented the imputation
that in changing the British prefer-
ence they were disioyal and had as-
sisted the German cause. "My right
Hon. friend,” declared Sir Robert,
"has put forward to the House and
_the country the idea that the poposals
‘of the Finance Minister were of Ger-
'nlan conception. Since he has invit-
ed comparisons of that kind I can tell
him that the only proposals put for-
ward in this parliament which ever re-
ceived enthusiastic and whole-hearted
support of the German Government
and the German people were the pro-
posals that he himself put forward
two years ago and I have the evidence
under my hand to show it. Since he
has invited consideration of Ger-
many’s approbstion I have the evi-
dence under my hsnd, taken from one
of the greatest newspapers of Ger-
many, the Hambruger Nachrichten."
This quotation showed that this
great German paper concluded that
England could not depend upon her
colonies for aid and that the solidarity
of the Empire was at best but is myth.
In replying to the iiscal arguments
of Sir Wilfrid Laurier the Premier
outlined the policy of the Conserva-
tives and probably that policy has
,never been so clearly and so succinctly
defined.
"Whst has been the theory of pro-
tection upon which tbe' Liberal Con-
servative policy has proceeded in this
country?" asked the Premier. "lt is

our labor, is oqusl to the finished pro-

Mayor Stems presiding, to take int
consideration the matter of meat and
milk inspection, as was asked for by
a delegation of the Anti-Tuberculosis
Society, which, represented by Dr W.
J. McMillan, Canoll Simpson and Mr
T. C. James, waited upon the City
Council at its last meeting two weeks
ago. The Health Oiiicer, Dr H. D.
Johnson, and the Recorder, Stiperllli-
ary K. J. Martin, were present at the
meeting last night, alld there was a
large attendance of butchers, milk-
men and others interested in the sub-
ject.
His Worship having explained the
purpose of the meeting, Councillor
Riley stated that there had been all
agitation in the city for quite a long
time for milk and meat inspection.
As Dr Johnson had explained at the
last meeting of the City Council, the
milk in Charlottetown was fairly good
and the sale of it was fairly under
control. It might. bc possible that
matters ill that connection might be
nlade more perfect. Ill regard to
meat, he said that the Council had not'
yet done anything, and it was for the
purpose of hearing the views of the
butchers and nlilkmen on thc sub-
jejct that those present had been
invited. It must not be forgotten, he
added, that there had been a lot of
money expended on plants for
slatlglltering cattle in the city by
gentlemen wllo had been in the busi-
ness for many years. and ally action
taken by the Board oi' licnltll would

Cit Council Chamber, His Worship ‘of meat inspection. He thought the
o
question was a large one that needed
to be gone into very carefully. It was
no use for the City Council and the
Board of Health to _say they would do
this or do that unless they were pre-
pared to put their resolutions into
practice.
At the request of the Mayor, Mr
Blake then addressed the Board. They
had been in the meat business, he said
-speaking personally for himself and
some of the other butuchers tbel-e<
for over sixty y.:1rs_ if he said sixty-
iive years hc would be telling the
truth. He thought his firm was one of
the oldest in the Island, and he was
yet to hear of one complaint from any
of his customers of bad meat of any
kind. He challenged contradiction by
ally ol the members or any other per-
son. I~Ié thought he could safely say
the some for Mr Saunders, Mr Stephen
Brown, Mr Gay and everyone else
they were associated with in the
market. lie had never yet heard is
complaint. There was meat inspec-
tioll ill Sumnlerside, but inspection
would be diiiicult to carry out in
Charlottetown, situated as it was.
Charlottetown was not situated like
large cities where they had tremen-
dous plants and where the stockwere
all brought in alive. with all facilities
for llandlillg, killing, inspecting and
everything else connected therewith.
There were it great many people all
over this county interested in the busi-
ness, and he would like to know how
the Council could take Ilold of the
question and adjust it satisfactorily.

The meeting in Zion Church liall
last night was the best of the series
showing that the interest is not in the
least abated. Mr. Sidney Bonnell pre-
sided, for it was Young Peoplc’s night,
and Mr. Angus Gillis gave the ad-
dress. The hail was filled to its ut-
most.
Mr. Bonnell in opening gave some
instances of the power of prayer and
after singing a hymn or two illustrat-
ing the power of prayer tho meeting
was led in intercession by four young
men, Messrs. Leith Webster, Angus
Martin, Edgar Mc1nnls,' Miller Camp-
bell.
Mr. Gillis in his address took the
text in Matt 27 : 22 “What shall I do
then, with Jesus?" The subject was
-“A Call to Decision." He gave Pilate
as an example of the mall who pursu-
ing his own aims and ignoring God is
--suddenly brought face to face with
Jesus Christ in a crisis from which
there can be no discharge.
Pilate may banter with the multi-
tude or he may send Jesus away to
Herod, he may declare that Ile finds
no fault in Him and will thcreforo ict
Him go. None of these things will
free him from this dilonlma; he must
make a- personal decision for or
against Jesus. The speaker brought
home the message with great power
to the hearts of all who heard him fol-
lowing step by step the excuses mon
and women make to-dey for refusing
the great decision. “We cannot re-
fuse," ho said, “for any failure to dc-
cide in favor of Christ is to place our-
selves among those who are against
Him." He appealed to nil. especially
the young to give theluselvcs to the
two young ladies Misses Jean Allan
and Miss Francis Moore sang a duet:
Stealing on mine oar,
'Tis the Saviour calling,
Sofa. soft and clear,
Once I died for thee.
Corne sinner, com
It was beautifully sung and finely
, closing with the benedit-tion extended
ciding for Christ to remain after the
